A11+ SAF update is literally horsemen of annoyance 🗿

Describe the solution you'd like
Add ADB & Root implementation
(using shizuku as middle man is recommended)
to work around the problem

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
idea is from zarchiver recent update

    Shizuku support should be made priority. With the increased popularity of security focused ROMs, such as GrapheneOS (and others), rooting the device becomes less of a tempting option. However, for power users, the capabilities offered by Shizuku are still a must.

    The dev team has very little time to work on new features right now.

    Well okay, but regardless this app is due for an update as the last release was like 1.5 years ago. I just went through the commits and it looks like you have a bunch of fixes, some them can be very helpful.

    Regarding root support, some file managers seems to be able to (partially?) list the root directory and some folders without root permission or adb/shizuku. Would be great if Amaze can do this, currently it just lists nothing.
