QuickTiles

Features: - 🎵 Media control (play/pause, next, previous, media volume) - 🔊 Show volume panel - 📅 New event/alarm/timer - 📞 Make call - 📷 Take photo/record video - 🧮 Open calculator/file manager - 📱 Open custom apps - 🔍 Search settings - 🌐 Open languages - 📖 Open dictionary/privacy - 🔗 Open VPN/data usage/screen cast/connected devices/about - ⏲️ Set screen timeout - 🔔 Switch volume modes (normal, vibrate, priority only, alarms only, total silence) - 💡 Adjust brightness - 🌙 Adaptive brightness toggle - 🌑 Grayscale - 📸 Take screenshot - 🔄 Force rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) - 🔒 Lock screen - 🖥️ Split screen - 📳 Set vibration on calls - ⚡ Open power menu - 🔋 Show battery level - 🔢 Counter - 🐞 Enable/disable USB debugging - 🕹️ Enable/Disable demo mode - 🛠️ Open developer options - 🌙 Enable/Disable keep screen on - 🏃 Set animator duration scale - 🚫 Disable all animations - 🏁 Always finish activities **Important:** Google Play Protect may warn that QuickTiles is a "harmful app." This is a false positive. You can check the full source code in this repository — there is no malicious activity. If you disable Play Protect, Android may still periodically show warnings. This seems to be because Android stores previously detected warnings and repeats them, even after Play Protect is turned off.
