This essential tool opens a hidden settings menu enabling advanced configurations such as band selection, enabling VoLTE on supported devices, and accessing detailed SIM and phone information. Designed especially for users in areas with weak 4G/5G coverage, it prevents automatic downgrades to slower network types, ensuring a stable connection. Additional features include internet speed tests across all network types and Wi-Fi, a ping test for connection reliability, and various network status reports. Users can remove ads through an in-app purchase or upgrade to a pro version for enhanced capabilities. Note: Activating LTE only mode on devices without VoLTE support may disrupt call functionality. ## Rankings - #68,779 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.READ_BASIC_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.iap.permission.BILLING` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `com.teknokia.force4glteonly.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.teknokia.force4glteonly.permission.C2D_MESSAGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Review summary Reviews are mixed.
