Home screen widget showing USB and wireless ADB debug status at a glance.
About this app
Debug Mode Widget is a minimal home screen widget that shows your Android debug settings at a glance — no need to dig through menus.
Place the widget on your home screen to instantly see:
• USB Debugging — on or off • Wireless Debugging — on or off (Android 11+ only) • Running Services shortcut — opens the Running Services screen directly
Tap any status row to jump straight to Developer Options. Tap Running Services to open that screen without navigating through menus. Tap the refresh button to re-read the current state without leaving your home screen.
The app has no launcher icon. It lives entirely as a home screen widget — no background processes, no notifications, no internet permission, no tracking of any kind.
To use: long-press your home screen, choose Widgets, find Debug Mode, and drag it to place.

What's New in v1.1.2
Imported from the F-Droid repository index.
- Build fix only: the v1.1.1 attempt to strip AGP's dependency metadata signing block used the wrong Gradle property name and had no effect, so the released APK still failed F-Droid's scanner. This release moves the setting into the dependenciesInfo DSL, verified to remove the block. No user-visible changes.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be info.yuryv.androiddebugmode is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
No earlier build is on record for Debug Mode Widget, so there is nothing to roll back to yet. When a second version is published, this section will explain how to move between them safely.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Debug Mode Widget, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
