About DevSwitch
DevSwitch is a utility application designed to manage Developer options, USB debugging, and Wireless debugging directly from a single screen and through three Quick Settings tiles. It modifies the same system settings as the standard Android Settings app, ensuring the system responds instantly. The application requires a one-time setup to obtain the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission, which can be completed via a computer using adb, through Shizuku, or with root access.
