Unlocking Hidden Windows Features with ViveTool

on
When Microsoft tests new features in Windows, they don’t always roll them out to everyone right away. Instead, many updates are tucked away inside the system, waiting for Microsoft to flip a switch through A/B testing or staged rollouts . That’s where ViveTool comes in—a command-line utility that lets you enable (or disable) these hidden features before they officially reach the general public. What is ViveTool? ViveTool is a free, open-source utility created by Rafael Rivera and Albacore, two well-known Windows enthusiasts. It allows you to interact with Feature ID s inside Windows. Each experimental or upcoming feature has an associated ID, and ViveTool gives you direct control over toggling them on or off. This tool has become especially popular with Windows Insider users who want early access to things like redesigned Settings pages , new Start menu layouts, taskbar tweaks, or advanced features Microsoft is quietly testing.

Unlocking the Power of Wireless Debugging with Shizuku

on


In the vast realm of Android development and customization, a little-known gem has been making waves: the Shizuku app. This tool brings convenience and functionality to developers and power users alike, especially when paired with Android's wireless debugging feature. Let's dive deeper.


Shizuku is an app primarily designed for users who want to manage their apps without root access. It provides advanced app management capabilities by leveraging Android's "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) permissions. This means that users can perform certain root-like actions without actually rooting their device.




Traditional debugging on Android required a USB connection between the developer's computer and the Android device. With the introduction of wireless debugging, this tethered connection is no longer necessary. Developers can now send adb commands over a wireless network, offering greater flexibility and mobility.


Setting up Shizuku is simple. Once you've enabled wireless debugging on your device, connect to the same network as your computer, and input the provided IP and port into Shizuku. The app then establishes a connection, granting it adb-level permissions.





With Shizuku's permissions and the flexibility of wireless debugging, users can easily manage app permissions, access advanced settings, and even force-stop stubborn apps—all without being tethered to a computer.


Example:

adb shell am force-stop <package-name>


One of the significant benefits of using Shizuku over traditional rooting methods is the reduced risk. Since there's no modification of the system partition, there's a lesser chance of bricking your device or voiding warranties. Plus, with wireless debugging, users can quickly disconnect if they feel a security breach.





Shizuku is designed to work seamlessly across a wide range of Android devices and versions. The combination of Shizuku and wireless debugging means that users with even the latest Android versions can take advantage of advanced app management features.
