(ADB) Works as advertised, to those who it doesnt work with, reboot your device, problem solved for me
Does it's job but wish I could toggle without opening the app to turn on the toggler
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. Granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS but does nothing. Pixel 5 Android 12 beta. Hopefully you can find another way to do it.
Doesn't work on xiamo
Doesn't work on my device (You see my software and hardware info, right?) Yes, I understand it might not work on some devices, considering android can be completely butchered, like on huawei
