How to Enable Hidden Android Settings to Boost Performance

A secret set of tools called Developer options is tucked away in the main Android Settings menu and allows you access to a wide range of essential tools and modifications.

By using this added feature, which is accessible if you know how to find it, you may alter your phone's appearance, among other things.

As the name implies, developer options are included for the benefit of developers, but turning them on doesn't require you to have any plans to create your own Android application.

Except for the addition of a new menu to your phone, there is no cost and no consequence.

5. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options at the bottom. On other device, you may need to scrowdown and tab on System and scrowdown to Developer options at the bottom.

6. You can toggle the settings on and off at the top of the Developer options screen.

Why You Should Enable Developer Options on Your Android Phone

Even though developer settings are intended for experienced users, they are much more useful than we might think.

1. Don't keep activities: Every application is shut down as soon as you leave the main screen thanks to this feature.

2. Desktop backup password: You have the ability to backup and restore data to and from your PC. This is possible if you create a password.

3. USB Debugging: This function enables USB communication between your Android smartphone and your PC. Additionally, you can revoke USB debugging permissions: You must authorize and set up a keypair before using a computer to debug through USB for the first time.

4. Transition animation scale: This option determines the playback speed of the transition animation.

5. Animator duration scale: Using this function, you can modify the length of the animation that occurs between the opening and closing of the app menu.

6. Background process limit: Your device has a number of background processes running. With background process limit settings, you may control how many of these processes are active at once.

7. Force 4x MSAA: This function imposes multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA), which can improve the appearance of objects on your device but places additional demands on the CPU and RAM.

8. Bug Report: Your phone has bug reports that you can examine, but they are only accessible when your device makes them available.

9. Choose a mock location app: Using this choice, you can give any chosen app location data. If you're creating an app that needs location data, it will be useful to you.

10. Show touches: By Enabling this option, a visual indicator is added to the screen whenever a touch is detected.

11.Stay Awake: Enabling this feature will keep your phone's screen active whenever it is plugged in and at all times. This feature is essential useful for developers.

12. Turn on the Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (HCI) snoop log so you can record and examine Bluetooth HCI communications. When enabled, your phone will record these events and save them in a file called "btsnoop hci.log" in the device's storage (/SD card).

13. Force GPU rendering: Despite the fact that some apps on your smartphone are designed not to use it, you can force them to use 2D rendering by using this setting. Enabling this option can improve the appearance of the situation or possibly momentarily break your phone.

19. Pointer Location: Enabling this will add a bar of information to the top of your phone's display, letting you know where the screen was last touched.

20. Profile GPU rendering: This option creates a graph that depicts the GPU's workload in a visual manner.

21. Show layout bounds: When enabled, you can view the edges of each dialog element so you can see where a touch will activate it.

22. Force RTL layout direction: For right-to-left language support, this function imposes screen orientation, which is useful for multi-language app creators.

23. Enable OpenGL traces: This feature allows you to capture OpenGL problems. Specify the log file for OpenGL to use for tracing errors.

24. Show all ANRs: By selecting this option, you may see all the background-running programs that are not responding.

25. Display GPU view updates: By using this option, you may see any on-screen component created using GPU hardware with a red overlay.
