Shizuku App: Unlock 120 & 160 FPS Without Root

Getting a permission error in 120 FPS Unlocker? On Android 11 and newer, apps aren’t allowed to open game data folders on their own. The free Shizuku app fixes this without root. Set it up once in about 5 minutes, and 120 FPS Unlocker can apply FPS and graphics settings to BGMI and PUBG Mobile.

What is the Shizuku app?

Shizuku is a free, open-source Android app that acts as a bridge between normal apps and Android’s system services. It lets apps like 120 FPS Unlocker use the same permissions as ADB (Android Debug Bridge), right on your phone. You don’t need root or a computer.

Why does 120 FPS Unlocker need Shizuku?

To unlock 90 FPS or 120 FPS, 120 FPS Unlocker has to change a settings file inside the game’s data folder. Since Android 11, apps can’t write to that folder directly, so you get a permission error. Shizuku gives 120 FPS Unlocker the access it needs, safely and only when you allow it.

Before you start

• Connect to Wi-Fi. Wireless debugging only works on Wi-Fi. If you don’t have Wi-Fi, turn on a hotspot on another phone and connect to it. You don’t need internet for this.
• Install Shizuku from the button above.
• You only need to pair one time. After that, Shizuku remembers your phone.

Shizuku says you need an extra step?

Some phones block extra permissions. If Shizuku shows “the permission of adb is limited”, change the one setting for your phone below, then open Shizuku and tap Start again.

Is Shizuku safe?

Yes. Shizuku is open source and widely used, and it can only give access to apps you approve. You can remove an app’s access anytime in the Shizuku app. 120 FPS Unlocker only uses it to apply FPS, graphics and boost settings.

That’s it!

Shizuku is now running, and 120 FPS Unlocker can unlock 90 FPS and 120 FPS in BGMI and PUBG Mobile without permission errors. Open the app, pick your game region and slide to unlock.
