The options for Android developers allow us to adjust and optimize the capabilities and performance of our mobile. Are many improvement options that we can configure from this menu which is accessed in a somewhat strange way. So, since there are many options and you must tread carefully if you go through this developer menu, I am going to tell you what hidden settings you should activate to improve your mobile.
Of course, before starting you should know that the Android developers menu is unlocked from Phone Settings > About Phone > Build Number (in my case, being a LITTLE, it appears as MIUI Version). Now, when you have found the build number of your mobile, tap up to 7 times on that number to unlock the Android developer menu. If you have any questions, you have more information in the link above. Now let's look at the hidden options to improve your Android mobile.
Improve animation speed
Your mobile animations can be much better and much faster if you configure it that way. This is possible from the developer menu and you have different options to improve the animations. Specifically We have the option of both animation level in windows, transitions and general animations.
This setting is configured from the "Drawing" section, precisely in the options that say "Window animation level", "Transition animation level" and "Animation level of animations". Set these options to “.5x Animation Scale” to make them look faster than before. The higher this value is, the slower they will look, but also the smoother they will be on the screen.
Automatically close apps when you exit them
To save resources, the best thing we can do is close the applications when we are not using them. On many occasions, the applications that consume the most are the ones that we use the least per day but that They remain latent in our system working tirelessly. Applications like TikTok and other social networks usually stay in the background unless we tell our device that we don't want this.
Well, you can go to the settings within the “Applications” section and tap on “Do not maintain activities”. Of course, you should keep in mind that, although this can be great for consuming fewer resources and making the mobile feel faster, some apps may not work correctly.
This is the case of banking applications that ask you for quick confirmation to make purchases. When this happens and if you have this option activated, it may cause errors. So If you do not want to have this inconvenience, you can configure the option just below that says "Limit background processes.". If you touch this option you can limit the background processes so that at most you have 0 to 4 active processes on the mobile.
Boost your games with better graphics
You can improve the performance of your games on Android from the developer menu. From here you can activate hardware accelerated rendering, an option that improves graphic quality in games at the cost of greater battery consumption and, consequently, greater overheating of the system.
It is advisable that you do not activate this option if your mobile phone already works with the games you have, especially in the games based on anime which usually have excellent graphics. In other words, If your phone is already getting too hot, it is better not to activate this option because you may end up losing your games.. If the mobile understands that it is very hot and that there may be a fault in the system, it will turn off automatically. Be careful with this.
The option to activate is “Force 4x MSAA (Multisample Anti-Aliasing)”. Activating it will cause the device to use the maximum Anti-Aliasing graphic quality that reduces "saw cuts" in video games that use OpenGL ES 2.0. Logically, performance will be higher and battery consumption will be more noticeable, but we gain a graphical fluidity typical of high-end mobile phones.
Set up USB Debugging
La USB debugging It is a really useful option to prevent losing control of our mobile data when the terminal breaks. And this option, If active, it allows us to connect the device to a computer and use tools such as Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to install applications externally as well as collect data or perform other developer actions.
You can find and activate this option from the "Debugging" section in the first option that says "USB debugging". Keep this option active if you want to be able to access your data if the mobile screen breaks or the terminal stops working directly as it should.
These have been the 4 hidden Android options that you have to activate to improve your mobile. But always keep in mind that modifying the developer menu settings carries certain risks. Don't touch anything you don't know what it does. and above all, remember or write down what settings you change to return to a previous state if something fails. So now you know how to modify Android's hidden options so that your mobile works better.
