   You know more than most people (certainly more than I do) about Android,   
   so that makes me feel good I was able to "pay you back" a bit   
   for the help you've always kindly offered.   
      
   Hence, it's good to know that you found that PSA information useful,   
   as I suspect almost nobody knows these new developer tiles even exist.   
    Sync   
    Show layout bounds   
    Profile HWUI rendering   
    Force RTL layout direction   
    Windows animation scale   
    Windscope trace   
    Sensors Off   
    Wireless debugging   
    Show taps   
   BTW, I don't know what most of those do, but I only needed the one tile. :)   
      
   To be sure, I'm well aware many people have _looked_ (almost always,   
   if not always in vain) for a way to create desktop shortcuts to the   
   various & sundry settings that sit inside Android 'Developer options'.   
      
   I, myself, have tried to figure them out using the shortcut inspector:   
       
   And then a bunch of tools for Intents to create the shortcut.   
       
       
       
       
       
       
      
   But while all worked fine for "normal" settings, they didn't work at all for me   
   to step into the developer options settings.   
      
   Even running adb from Windows over Wi-Fi to the Android phone on the LAN   
   would bring up almost anything in Settings _except_ Developer options settings.   
    C:\> adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings   
   AdsSettingsActivity   
      
   I was so happy when I finally found there were secret hidden TILES for some   
   Developer options, that I wanted others to benefit from this information.   
      
   It's especially useful to those who interact with their Android phone over   
   Wi-Fi without _ever_ connecting it to a USB cable (e.g., for mirroring).   
      
   BTW, a very useful command when using Android on adb over Wi-Fi is this:   
    C:\> netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr "192.168.0.2"   
      
   My use model using Windows scrcpy without a console requires knowing the port,   
   which you can easily get from Android Developer options Wireless debugging;   
   but you can _also_ get the random port being used from that Windows command!   
    *Is there a way to put a command window in the background like Linux does (so   
   that you can kill it)?*

   @echo off   
      
   cd /d "c:\app\editor\android\scrcpy"   
   certutil -f -decode %~f0 showwin.exe>nul   
   REM Port 5555 was needed when you established adb connections over USB   
   REM And then you disconnected the USB cable to subsequently work on Wi-Fi   
   REM But as of Android 11 or 12, you can establish the connection over Wi-Fi   
   REM But that "Developer option" "Wireless debugging" port is assigned by   
   Android!   
   REM So you have to get it on Android or on Windows to know what it is   
   REM adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555   
   REM You can get the current port from the following command   
   REM c:\> netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr "192.168.0.2"   
   adb connect 192.168.0.2:45299

   scrcpy --always-on-top --tcpip=192.168.0.2:45299   
      
   :: after scrcpy is closed we show console window again   
   showwin.exe 5   
      
   del showwin.exe
