    I wouldn’t recommend anything.

    This is only what I know.

    There is much much much more I don’t know.

    This might be useful to use temporarily when you add an app that you know will read these values on install.

    You may be able to use an app like geto to have this option toggled so that it only uses the developer settings option when the app is launched and returns to hardware when it closes.

    Keep in mind there are a host of other identifiers on your device that can also be used to track and identify the user and device.

    I like privacy and security.

    So, the media DRM toggle switches from the hardcoded hardware ID to a software DRM. Creating a new DRM key.

    https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaDrm

    Geto uses shizuku (an app that allows for adb/shell functionality) to change settings that are usually hiddden or inaccessible, or to give/deny apps permissions or features, or, as in the screenshot to change certain keys values. This allows you to change the environment and settings of the app on launch, and revert them on app close.

    You can see all the current settings by using adb:

    adb shell settings list [ global | secure | system ]

    Or in termux with shizuku:

    settings list [ global | secure | system ]

    In the following screenshot I enter the shell using shizuku (rish) list global settings and find keys with adb. I change the value of adb_wifi_enabled (wirelese debugging) from 0 to 1 and set {1} as the default value. Then I list again to show the change.

    This is what geto is doing. But it assigns it to the action of launching/closing an app. While doing it manually via terminal set those values system wide.

    Sometimes, though, you may want a system wide change (like if you want to change the accent colors or theme from RAINBOW to VIBRANT).

    (There are other configs and properties you can viewed and modify using other commands. (in shell try

    cmd -l

    For a list of services. Some have user modable options. Be careful. If you don’t know, don’t touch. Every setting can be searched . there are hundreds or thousands .)

    Remember when phones had that insane super advanced tech that could guide anyone anywhere, even offline?

    Seriously, why doesn’t the compass exist anymore?

    I have never turned on location anything on grapheme.

    On my other phone I have also uninstalled google location services/history, WiFi scanning, Bluetooth unknown tracker, etc.

    If I get lost in a building… I ask someone.

    I got a pixel 9 for $240 CAD via carrier promotion in Canada.

    I held out getting a new phone as long as I could and they offered a new pixel 9 for $5 per month for 24 months

    Not to trade in after 24.

    It’s mine. For 5$ a month.

    When I received it I didn’t turn it on for a week.

    Read as much as I could to decide that Google would only ever see the single boot to enable developer mode and enable OEM unlock to flash graphenos.

    It seemed intimidating, but the process to install is very smooth.

    Except, today, the police aren’t just corrupt.

    They’re militarized agents of an authoritarian state where the “president” is a foreign asset and the president is a racist billionaire with a god complex.

    When Nazis, literal, actual Nazis, are given free reign to operate without oversight or opposition within the government to dismantle it, and nazis march in the streets without fear, because they are supported by the “president” and the president, the similarities end.

    There are plans are in place to destroy western society, roll back decades or a century of civil rights, eliminate any social safety net, and rule by technocracy.

    While you may be conflating things in jest, if you do not see the seriousness and actual present danger in the current regime, then you are just blinding yourself.

    This is nothing like anything before.

    This is the prelude to all out war on freedom, democracy, autonomy, and decency.

    On you. On me. On your neighbors.

    On everyone who doesn’t bend the knee.
