Developer mode

Where do I find it? I want to turn it on?

Settings /about phone/software information
Scroll down to 'build mode'
Keep tapping that until it says developer mode turned on (about 7 taps)
But only do this if you know what you are doing.
Any changes could seriously screw up your nice new phone

Where do I find it? I want to turn it on?

My set up:
Aggressive wifi to celular (I have unlimited LTE plan)
DISABLE ABSOLUTE VOLUME(that's most important)
Animation scale 0,5x
Force Gpu to overdrive
Force GPU to render graphics

 

[nuangel2]

Thanks the first 3 were what I wanted to do

What does disabling absolute volume do?

My set up:
Aggressive wifi to celular (I have unlimited LTE plan)
DISABLE ABSOLUTE VOLUME(that's most important)
Animation scale 0,5x
Force Gpu to overdrive
Force GPU to render graphics

@up
It lets free volume to Max level, ignore secure vol invented by producer. Just your BT headphones, speakers, car audio etc play as loud as its own technical limitations

what does forcing the gpu to overdrive and render graphics do?

 

[nathasnajperowa]

GPU is more powerfull than CPU and phone is faster and more battery efficient with these settings toggled on

 

[j_hansen]

Is the OEM unlock option there in developer mode?

 

[nathasnajperowa]

Yes sir

 

[j_hansen]

Yes sir

Not that I really need it
At least it is there for people who want it

Does turning that on render the device capable of being rooted?

Golly, if my device was any faster than it is now, (without those toggled on), it'd be running the 1 minute mile ??????

No. But it lets you do a few of the things that you might otherwise need root for.

Been using developer options for years and I've never seen a setting called "force GPU I to overdrive", have I been missing it all this time, or is it a setting that is new to the Note9? I'm still using Note 8 and I have no such setting.

 

[DatsyukianDeke]

Is force GPU to overdrive the "turn off hardware overlays"?

 

[nathasnajperowa]

It’s force GPU rendering

 

[Ryano89]

It’s force GPU rendering

So the last 2 on your list are the same thing?

 

[nathasnajperowa]

First is
Force GPU rendering
Second
Turn off hardware overlays
Always use GPU for screen compositing
Second option must be turn on after every reboot, it switches off everytime you power off your phone
I don't use third GPU tweak, as called turn on 4x MSAA sth antyalias for graphics but makes stuff looking to soapy to my eyes
