Better Internet Tiles vs TrustDevice Fingerprint
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Better Internet Tiles
NOTE: This app requires shell access, which can be granted using either Shizuku or root. This application aims to create a unified internet quick-settings tile, which is actually useful (I'm looking at you, Android 12). Next to this, separate Wi-Fi and mobile data tiles are also available if you just want to go back to the behaviour of Android 11 or lower. Tapping the new unified internet tile will simply toggle between Wi-Fi and mobile data, which is exactly what I want it to do most of the time. This reduces the amount of taps needed from 3 (tap tile, disable wifi, enable data) to just 1 quick tap. In situations where you still want more control, long pressing the tile will redirect you to the relevant settings page.
TrustDevice Fingerprint
TrustDevice is a lightweight library for determining device uniqueness and risk identification. It can create a device identifier based on basic device information. Tis will remain the same after uninstalling and reinstalling or clearing app data.This demo application shows you the details gathered and thus is useful for getting detailed device information. As a side effect it shows you what data an app can access without having any permissions – and could transfer it to „some servers“ if it had just the INTERNET permission.
