Debug Mode Widget

A minimal Android home screen widget that shows USB and wireless ADB debugging status at a glance and taps through to Developer Options.

What it does

• Shows whether USB Debugging is on or off
• Shows whether Wireless Debugging is on or off (Android 11+ only)
• Tapping either row opens Developer Options directly
• Running Services shortcut opens the Running Services screen directly
• Refresh button re-reads current state without navigating away

The app has no launcher activity. It lives entirely as a home screen widget.

Requirements

• Android 6.0+ (API 23)
• Wireless debugging row requires Android 11+ (API 30)

The app reads Settings.Global to display state but does not modify any settings. Toggling requires navigating to Developer Options manually.

Installation

From F-Droid: coming soon.

From a release:

Download app-release.apk from the latest release, transfer to your device, and install it (enable "Install from unknown sources" if prompted).

From source:

./gradlew installDebug

Then long-press your home screen → Widgets → Debug Mode → drag to place.
