Description

From the listing uploaded by “emrapk”.

This app allows you to open certain android settings, which some phone vendors hide from the user. App uses knowledge about android system that is not documented, so not all settings will work on your phone. Please use this app with caution, and only change settings that you understand. You don't need to have a rooted phone, and no permissions are requested!
