Introduction
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS!! Do NOT use this on apps with sensitive data!! If it makes your phone light on fire, you can't complain.
This app only works on Android 5.0+ devices with ARM (and likely ARM64) processors!
zdata compresses the data used by apps to make it take less space. It's built on FUSE + fusecompress and requires a rooted device.

zdata compresses the data used by apps to make it take less space. It's built on FUSE + fusecompress and requires a rooted device.
Features
- Reduces the space used by your apps.
- Also, it reduces the space used by your apps.
- Oh, did I mention it reduces the space used by your apps?
- Sorry, I'm just trying to follow the XDA template.
Usage
- Select the app you want to compress.
- Hit Go ahead!.
- Hope it works!
Gotchas
- When you boot up your phone, make sure you wait for zdata to mount the app data before trying to use the app.
- Make sure you disable zdata before uninstalling an app.
- zdata doesn't always have a major effect, if it has an effect at all. For instance, with KHUx, it barely compressed anything, but for SAO: MD, the app usage went down from 174 MB to 138 MB.
