How to enable the Private DNS QuickTile? It doesn't trigger Shizuku

[zilexa]

I don't understand how Essentials is supposed to work to enable certain Quicktiles. Because for some, it's obvious:

While for others like Private DNS, the "Check" button doesn't do anything. Neither does the "Shizuku" button when I long press > What is this? > Shizuku:

How to enable a Quick setting tile that shows only the Check button, that doesn't do anything?

I used a specific app before, that also leveraged Shizuku to enable a nice PrivateDNS QuickTile and it triggered Shizuku automatically to enable it. I removed that app since I discovered Essentials, but I don't understand why there is different ways to enable certain Quicktiles, and it's totally unclear how to enable this one.

I can copy the ADB command but then what? Shizuku has no terminal. Am I supposed to install a terminal app to run this command? Why is this not necessary in other apps that enable this specific Quick Tile?

Edit: starting to think this may be caused because I already had that tile via this app, that also leveraged Shizuku: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flashsphere.privatednsqs
But I removed this app (and Shizuku, then reinstalled Shizuku). There doesn't seem a way now to enable the QuickTile via Essentials..
And in Shizuku, there is no way to revoke the earlier granted permission (of the removed app).

So sorry I forgot to check discussions for a while... If you have shizuku, Go to settings of Essentials and expand the permissions section. there will be an option to auto grant this permission. Or you need to copy ADB and runt hat command from a PC with ADB.

Sorry but the only related setting in Essentials that I could find:

In Shizuku there is no such thing as "Control Shizuku with automation apps":

So I can't use this tile..

With the app I mentioned, it just works. I don't need to do anything else. The app gets the permission via Shizuku and that's it. Done. It just works. No complications. Also, as said, it has a cloud icon. Not a router icon.. nobody wants an ugly router icon in its quick tiles 😅

Ahh at least you found an app for it :)

I'm starting to think you never actually read the bug report? I already gave you the link to that app to see how they handled it.
I also provided you with looots of screenshots. I cannot make it more clear, or can I? Please let me know. .

I am not a noob, but I haven't found a way to get this tile of yours working. It's why I created this bug report. It still seems impossible to get it to work.

This UI is outdated. This now directly has a button to grant the permission easily using shizuku if you prefer that over using a PC over ADB. You do not need Shizuku to automate PrivateDNS feature of the system. I only use it to grant the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission. Which is one time via Shizuku or ADB.

We do not need to refer to other apps for features which works fine already. Editing the system secure settings only require the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission not Shizuku as the app you are mentioning. It might be using another approach which we are not. We are simply providing a QS tile and settings to easily modify private DNS settings without the hassle of visiting the settings page manually.

Just make sure to keep the apps up-to-date to get the fixes and improvements as well as to avoid confusions.
