  1. Android ppl, here's the classic hidden menu. Go to Settings > About phone and find 'Build number' :/ Tap it seven times quikcly. After a few taps u'll see a countdown toast, and then 'You are now a developer!' (u may need to enter your PIN).

    now theres a new section called Developer options, usually under Settings > System... it has tweaks meant for app developers: animation speeds, showing taps on screen, keeping teh screen awake while charging, and much more.

    ive had Android phones for ten years and never knew it was literally a tap counter. what am i doing wrong??

    rgb adds +10 fps everyone knows that
