What Can IDo With Android Developer Options?The Android operating system is a platform that stands out with more customization options than other competitors. Of course, many of these customizations are also hidden within the developer options.
Let's take a closer look at how you can open the developer options first, and then what you can do with these options.
How are the developer options available?
Developer options are hidden by default in the Android operating system. To open these settings, you have to go to the system option from the settings section and press the version number in the about phone section until you see the "You are now a developer" notification.
As soon as you see this notification, developer options are added to your phone's settings menu.
Convenient Developer Option Settings
Stay awake
When you activate this feature, your phone's screen will not turn off even when it is charging. Mainly useful for developers, this feature can also be useful in some situations for standard users.
For example, if you want to see instant updates on Twitter or a similar application, you can use this setting.
Unlock OEM
Unlocking the blootlader is the first thing to do when installing custom ROM. So if you want to install a ROM on your phone for any reason, you need to use this feature in the developer options.
Running services
Thanks to the task manager in Windows, we can see the applications running on your computer and all the information about them. Thus, we can observe which application slows down the system or different situations.
On the Android side, it is possible to use it in a very similar way with the running services feature in the developer options. With this service, you can access the amount of RAM consumed by applications and statistics of running applications.
Fake location
We know that our phones follow our location. However, it is possible to determine a fake location with developer options.
Basically, this feature, which works with applications such as Fake GPS, is used not only for security purposes but also for cheating in games such as Pokemon GO.
Cellular data is always active
By default, mobile data is automatically disabled if your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Actually, this default setting is quite logical, because you don't want to consume your mobile data package when you can connect to the internet over Wi-Fi.
However, if you have an unlimited data package, you can turn off this feature from the developers option and ensure that mobile data is always active.
Animation options
The Android operating system uses animations that you may or may not notice, depending on how fast your smartphone is. These animations, which can be customized from the developer options, are a very good option, especially for Android phones that are at entry level and whose hardware is weak.
If you have a really slow Android phone, you can get a noticeable speed difference by turning off the animations in the developer options or turning it off completely and you can continue to use your phone for a while.
You have to try different applications and write about them.
