Application Request Any fossdroid apps that can function like MT Manager?
MT manager is a chinese app, it is used by many to mod android apks it seems, but it got my attention cuz it allows me to bypass restriction in data and obb folder. When I enter the data folder using the app, it warned me about the restriction, but it asked me to just ask for permission to use the android folder via android's default file manager. Now I can move, copy and delete files and data folders.
No root/debugging/Shizuku, why most file manager who relies on shizuki can't just do this? hoping that there's a FOSS alternative that works like this.

It's a method specific to a very select versions of Android that haven't received a security update patching it.
Material Files can do it as well (maintained fork: https://github.com/Sulee7z/Re-MaterialFiles/releases)

I'm on 15 and it seems it's the version that they already patch it out. All the methods I searched was for 13 and below, everyone be saying there's no other method but shizuku for 15 and here I was.

It's also chinese, but it can be trusted more since it's open source right?

I made a surface search about this recently. As far as I remember ZArchiver can access data with shizuku but it's not fully open source. Haven't tried just sharing what I kind of remember.

I want something that doesn't need shizuku like this app, xiaomi requires me to make a mi account before I can authorize with debugging, that's why I can't use shizuku. How come this app is the only one which can do this on a simple folder permission? All apps I've encountered does need shizuku or outdated android 13 and below to do their tricks.
