Navigate your phone settings and first go to about phone. From there go to software information. You should see your build number. Tap the build number several times in a row and developer options will be unlocked. This gives you access to developer options and a whole new set of customization features
Most useful option in this menu for most users is the animation scale. Will make your phone much snappier if you set it 0.5x
As an actual Android dev, these are incredibly useful. But on every phone I’ve owned, changing the animation speeds to 0.5 feels great. OS feels so much smoother
Sometimes when I’m bored I set it to the lowest setting because I think it’s funny.
I always unlock these, if only to visualize taps. USB debugging is also cool because of scrcpy, a program that allows you to see and control your phone from your pc.
yeah scrcpy is also a lifesaver if you screen breaks. I was able to access my phone when mine did
I played Limbus Company entirely via scrcpy (the steam version was giving me issues), and the experience was perfect. No quality issues, no noticeable lag or delay, I frequently forgot it wasn’t running natively.
I always unlock developer settings on a new phone to fix my Bluetooth volume. Android assumes Bluetooth devices have adjustable audio, so if they don’t it sets the default to max. Then you basically have two settings: “kinda quiet” and “I’m slowly losing my hearing”. Disabling absolute volume makes it so your phone only registers your phone’s volume buttons.
I know of even more hidden developer options. 😏
… and?
Would you like me to disclose some archaic magic apon your mortal soul? Lol.
You should also know that activating usb debugging in there is the best way to have a chance at fixing anything that goes wrong later. If your age screen shatters, there’s ways to access what’s on the device if you’ve solar already hooked it up to your pc and set it to always allow that pc to access the device. It can help with bootloops or other issues too.
It’s optional, but you’d be amazed how many times someone has needed that access.

This is fascinating
it’s a lot better with root though!
This is amazing
