zFile Not Recommended

Limited Compatibility

zFile works on some devices only and may stop working after system updates. We strongly recommend using Shizuku instead for reliable file access.

What is zFile?

Why not recommended:

  • ❌ Works only on certain devices
  • ❌ May break after updates
  • ❌ Unpredictable compatibility
  • ✅ Use Shizuku for guaranteed compatibility

  1. Open zFile app
  2. Allow all requested permissions when prompted

Step 3: Connect to zFont 3

  1. Open zFont 3
  2. Go to SettingsFile Handler

  4. If it works: ✅ You can apply fonts
  5. If it doesn't: ❌ Use Shizuku instead

Troubleshooting

zFile not working on my device

This is normal - zFile doesn't work on all devices.

Solution: Switch to Shizuku - it works on all devices.

Our Recommendation

Save time and frustration - set up Shizuku once instead of dealing with zFile's compatibility issues.
