Developer toggles and tools, on the phone itself

The same toggles Droidective drives from your Mac, as home-screen widgets, Quick Settings tiles and a notification bar. Plus Logcat, a crash catcher, an installer for split APKs, and automations, with Shizuku or root for the settings Android keeps from ordinary apps.

What's in it

Widgets everywhere

Home-screen bars, folders, a notification bar, twelve Quick Settings tiles and shortcuts, all built from the same items: toggles, apps, other apps' shortcuts, your own shell commands, deep links and automations.

52 toggles

Network, sound, display, device and developer settings, from mobile data and preferred network type to layout bounds, show taps and animation scales.

Developer tools

Developer Settings, Logcat, Simulate, Demo Mode, HTTP Proxy, Private DNS, Wireless ADB, Network Speed, Apps, Current Activity, Memory Usage, Device Info and more.

Install App

APK, APKS, XAPK and APKM files, installing only the splits this phone needs: its processor, screen density and languages.

Crash Catcher

Recent crashes, native crashes and ANRs, each with its full report to copy or share, and a notification when an app you watch crashes.

Automations

When something happens, run actions once. While something holds, keep toggles set and put each one back when it ends. Schedules, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, apps opening, charging and more.

Four levels of access

Android keeps many settings from ordinary apps. Every toggle names the level it needs, and without it does the closest thing it can, usually opening the right system screen.

Level	What it is	How to get it
App	Ordinary permissions and special access, such as Modify system settings	Android's own prompts
Granted	`WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS` and `DUMP`, plus the crash-report permission	Three `adb shell pm grant` lines from a computer, which the app's Setup tab shows
Shell	The shell user's access, through Shizuku	Start Shizuku from its app
Root	`su`, through Magisk or KernelSU	Turn on Use root in the Setup tab

Install it

Download the APK

Open the latest release on the phone and install droidective-android-<version>.apk, allowing your browser to install apps when Android asks. From a computer:

adb install droidective-android-0.1.0.apk
Check the signature

Every release is signed with the same key. Its certificate's SHA-256 digest is 2B:05:9F:5E:11:61:0A:1D:D9:48:E7:77:12:1E:DF:1A:95:3C:F5:DC:DF:0E:86:AD:E0:8D:6A:27:87:D6:D8:B0, and a .sha256 file beside each APK holds the file's own hash.

apksigner verify --print-certs droidective-android-0.1.0.apk
Grant what only adb can

With USB debugging on, run these from a computer. On Android 11 to 14 the last permission is READ_LOGS instead. The app's Setup tab shows the lines for your phone, and where it stands at every level.

adb shell pm grant com.droidective.android android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS adb shell pm grant com.droidective.android android.permission.DUMP adb shell pm grant com.droidective.android android.permission.READ_DROPBOX_DATA

The app checks GitHub once a day for a newer release. The request carries only the app's version, and Setup ▸ Updates turns it off.
