Developer Options

A tiny Android app that opens Developer options in one tap.

• Already enabled? It opens the screen directly.
• Not yet? It shows the exact steps for your phone brand (which About screen to open, which field to tap 7 times).

No permissions, no network, no analytics.

Screenshots

Not working on your phone?

The intents are hardcoded per brand, so a device that isn't covered yet may not open directly. To get it added:

• If you can dig in: find the right activity class in your Settings app and open a PR.
• Otherwise: open an issue with your brand, model, and Android version. Back up your Settings APK (com.android.settings), upload it somewhere public, and share the link. A screen recording of you enabling Developer options by hand helps a lot.

Contributing

Pull Requests are welcome — especially new brands. See strings.xml and DevOptions.kt.

Project layout

• app/src/main/java/io/github/codehasan/developeroptions/
  • MainActivity.kt — entry point
  • DevOptions.kt — intent resolution and per-brand hints
  • OsDetection.kt — manufacturer / OS detection
  • DisabledActivity.kt — the how-to screen

Building

Needs the Android SDK and JDK 11+.

git clone https://github.com/codehasan/DeveloperOptions.git
cd DeveloperOptions
./gradlew assembleDebug

The APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/.

Release builds (optional)

Only if you're signing your own build:

cp app/keystore.properties.example app/keystore.properties
# fill in your keystore details, then:
./gradlew assembleRelease

keystore.properties and *.jks are gitignored — keep them out of git. If the file is missing, signing is just skipped.
