6 Unknown Android Tricks & Secret Features To Enable by L0rdTeekay(m): 8:51am On Sep 07, 2015
So lets see all the SIX awesome and secret
features and tricks that you do not know, with
these you can play games in higher resolution,
even check your CPU usage and more, so lets
jump into it. Below tweaks require you to have
developer options enabled on your
android device, so to enable developer
option on android, just visit your Settings > About, On the Build Number, TAP 3 times, this will enable the developer options.
1. I believe you are aware how animations are draining your
battery and pissing you off, You can install 'battery doctor' tweak to give more juice to your battery.
2. After enabling the developer options you can
Mock your GPS Location hence you can Fake it,
this could be useful in many scenarios, that
depends on the way you use it, but I wonder
why Google has given this feature, but off
course its hidden so that people with non-tech brains do not blunder with everything. Navigate to Settings > Developer Options, check for Mock Locations feature and enable it by ticking the check box.
3. In case you want to keep your device awake,
maybe checking some news feed or even
your RSS updates, this feature could be useful. Navigate to Settings > Developer Options, check for Stay Awake feature and enable it by ticking the check box.
4. In case you have a low memory syndrome
problem, then backup is necessary, with
desktop password backup, you can be sure to
stay safe. Navigate to Settings > Developer Options, tap the desktop backup password option,
enter your current password and then type
new password.
5. In case you are getting low graphics in your
high end games, then there is another tweak
that will help you in rendering higher graphics
in games. Navigate to Settings > Developer Options, check for Force 4X MSAA feature and enable it by ticking the check box.
6. If your device gets low in the middle of the
day, then it better to keep note about the
apps that are taking the maximum load and
hence turning them off or disabling them
would your best bet. Navigate to Settings > Developer Options, check for Show CPU Usage feature and enable it by ticking the check box. So now these 6 tips could help you in getting
more from your android device. Developer
option in android really packs loads of stuff
and tweaks and you could be sure to get best
from your phone, do check more stuff under
developer options and do comment in case you face problems accessing any tweak
above.

ALL phones has "Developer option" but it's hidden from those with "Non-tech" brains (na 4rm OP I hear dt word first ooh), so to enable ur "developer options", jst go to "settings" >> "about phone", then CONTINUOUSLY CLICK on "build number" for abt five times, u'll get a prompt "U are now a developer", that means u av activated d "developer options".
To see d developer options, jst go back to settings, u'll see it above "about phones" in ur settings...

Re: 6 Unknown Android Tricks & Secret Features To Enable by callydon(m): 3:24pm On Sep 07, 2015
This is as a general note, once u root ur phone, d FIRST thing u shud do is to enable this developer options, and then within d developer options, go straight to "USB debugging" n check d box there, JUST IGNORE D WARNING DT COMES UP AND CLICK OK. This is very necessary to avoid stories dt touch d ....., when u brick ur phone or u need to resolve some issues using a system.
