Description

Open banking and other locked-down apps without turning developer options, debugging, accessibility services or Shizuku service off-on by hand every single time.

Some apps refuse to run or quietly disable parts of themselves when they detect developer options, an ADB connection or an active accessibility service. The usual workaround is to go and switch those things off before opening the app and switch them back on afterwards, every time. IMD does that for you: pick an app, say which settings should change while it runs, and launch it from here. The settings are applied, the app opens, and an ongoing notification with a Revert action puts your device back the way it was.

IMD SERVICES MANAGER is the other half of that: one dialog showing the live state of developer settings, USB debugging, wireless debugging, your managed accessibility services and the Shizuku service, with a switch on each and a Revert to default button at the bottom. It opens from a Quick Settings tile, a homescreen shortcut or the Favourites tab — without the app itself having to be open — which is what you reach for when a banking app has just refused to start and you do not want to go hunting through Android's settings to find out why.

It is a fork of Geto, rebuilt around the parts that did not survive real use - Shizuku dying with USB debugging disable, accessibility services that actually never stopped, and a quick re-enable settings button in app.

• Package: com.soul_99.suIMD - installs alongside stock Geto, both can coexist
• Requires: Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer, and WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS granted once over ADB or Shizuku. No root.
• Licence: GPL-3.0
• No ads, analytics, trackers, accounts or network access of any kind. The app never talks to the internet.

About Permissions

• WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS (one time grant via adb shell or Shizuku) (MANDATORY, needed to change settings state)
• Post notifications (optional)

Security Concerns

• No internet access or unnecessary continuous background services (so almost zero battery / system resource use).
• Does not tamper with any apps on the device.
• The parts of this app that change settings cannot be triggered by another app, so only you can change them.

Install

Grab the APK from the releases page, or let Obtainium watch that page and update the app for you:

The app itself has no network permission, so it cannot check for its own updates — Obtainium is how you find out there is one.

Grant the permission once with a PC:

adb shell pm grant com.soul_99.suIMD android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

or, with no PC, tap Use Shizuku on the first-run screen and it runs that command for you. The screen also shows the command with a copy button and re-checks itself when you come back, so you never have to type it twice. The grant survives reboots but not a reinstall.

The future of this fork

I'm a full time radiology resident doctor, software is just a part time hobby. This app exists because I wanted it to exist for myself, I have made multiple revisions after testing every build, fixing bugs and adding features, making the app what it is now - on par with my expectations. Please know that it will take some time for me to reply to queries, fix bugs and add new features in future builds, so please be patient. But I do plan to maintain this app for the near future, until someone else makes a better app for the same purpose.

The source is all here under the GPL-3.0. Use it freely for your own purposes - build it, change it, fork it, keep the changes to yourself or pass them on. That is what it is for.

Thanks!

Long live free and open source software!
