[APP][ROOT][3.0+] #DebugAllTheThings

r3pwn · Jul 1, 2014

Hello fellow XDA-Developers members!
Recently, I made a blog post(available at r3pwn.github.io) about Google's first-party apps' debugging settings. Afterwards, people asked me to make an automated app to Enable/Disable these settings menus at will.
Well, here you have it:

#DebugAllTheThings
Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.r3pwn.LetMeMakeYouSomeSandwiches
OR
You can grab the apk at the link below:

For those on Android "L", follow this post to fix any issues.

Changelog and FAQ will be in the second post.

FAQ:
It says I don't have SQLite3 installed. What do I do?
You should have them installed by default, but in case you don't, you can install them with an app (not made by me). Just search "SQLite Installer for Root" and download the first app listed.

So I did everything, enabled the settings, but where are they?
You can find them in the locations listed below after opening the corresponding app(s):
Google Play Store - Open the slide-out tab. It should be below the Feedback button. It's called "Debug Settings".
Hangouts - Either hit your menu button or tap the Three-dot menu button in the top-right corner. It should be at the bottom of that list. It's called "Debug".
Play Music - Open the standard Settings menu and it should be at the bottom (Just one option about logging, pretty boring).
Play Books - Tap the Three-dot menu button in the top-right corner. It should be at the bottom of that list. It's called "Testing".
Newsstand - Open the standard Settings menu and it should be at the bottom (just one option called "Designer Mode", pretty boring).

Updated to version 1.1 for safer SQLite3 checking.

Not seeing Hangouts debug menu after rebooting and enabling on L. Thoughts? This is Hangouts v2.1.311.

Thanks for this all, it's a useful utility. This could be a splash perhaps? Haha

Same version on 4.4.2, debug showed up after a reboot.

Not working in hangouts here either :/ N5 on L

Minagera · Jul 1, 2014

Yep having the same problem on the N5 with L.

This was after a full reboot?

Yes enabled, rebooted, nothing. Then disabled, reboot, enabled, reboot, still nothing

Yep multiple reboots with a mixture of wiping cache and data just to check.

danielblakes · Jul 2, 2014

Just chiming in to echo what everyone is saying - this isn't working in L.

joshw0000 · Jul 2, 2014

Works on my S5. Thanks!!

The Play Store debug settings are nice because you can use "Clear cache and quite" to force a refresh of app updates. I've been using it for a while and also included it in an Xposed module.

Google Calendar

Haven't had any luck getting help with this question, seems like this thread is the right place to ask again. Trying to modify the default appointment time in Calendar to 30 minutes from 60 so the app acts like the web version. Poked around the code and nothing jumped out at me. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Also, if you have a Nexus 5, check out these color notifications I made. The Nexus colors are up to date, I'll update the Google colors over the holiday.

xfullmetal17 · Jul 3, 2014

Out of curiosity, anyone know what the "Emulate Offers Device" option does in Play Books?

And nicely done, I've been wanting something to get at those hidden menus for a while.

Hey, sorry, my modem broke and I am using Library wifi to type this post.
To all with Android L issues, I noticed these after uploading the first build and losing my wifi. I added a check for this in the next update. To fix issues with "L" compatibility, follow this guide. It was designed for Nexus 5, but works on my Nexus 7, too. I have version 1.2 built and ready to go (fixes disabling Books Debug bug) and adds more options:
- Bugs squashed
- On-the-fly changing (no reboot needed, except on android L)
- Adds a check for non-rooted users
- Reports there may be some compatibility issues on Android L
- Added Newsstand Debugging
- Will be first build uploaded to the Play Store!
- Play Store will open in a new Activity, instead of in my app, so as to avoid any confusion

Now, you may be asking "Sweet! When can I get my hands on it?!".
As I stated before, I do not have wifi. The new modem is in the mail and should be here either today, tomorrow, or the day after.
I am also continually trying to find more debugging flags. So far, no luck. Some will require Xposed to enable, and I will have MrBIMC create me an Xposed module to manage this.
The second our new modem gets set up, I will be uploading the 1.2 apk and publishing it to Play Store. The reason I can't do it now is because I do all of my building/coding/testing on my Nexus 7, which I didn't bring with me today.

I hope this answers any and all questions.

Also, to those on L, once you activate the PIE-bypass, toggle each option a few times, then the value displayed will be correct.

I just uploaded to the Play Store. It will be listed as "#DebugAllTheThings for Root".

r3pwn · Jul 4, 2014

While the application is being processed, I went ahead and uploaded build 1.2. ?
