Hi. Just trying to get a feel for why you may have enabled Developer Options ? Have you done it for performance reasons? I know the average user really has no need to enable it. I suspect that some of you are not AVERAGE Users 😉
I enabled it as it helped me when I developed my first AR app and needed to test out a function. But now I think I may be able to do a bit of tweaking.

Any suggestions on TWEAKING ?

The only real reason for Enabling Developer Options on current devices is if you are going to use adb to enable features in some apps which otherwise would require Root - Or to add the Mobile Data & Hotspot Toggles which is now mostly unnecessary - Way back when - On less powerful devices - Sometimes people would limit the Animation Scale or Background Processes - But that's no longer necessary.

USB Debugging, changing accent colours (Android 10 only), FPS viewer (Android 10 only), viewing memory usage, seeing which Bluetooth codec my device is using, etc

I turn it for for 2 reasons...

enable USB debugging,

change animation speeds to 0.5x (makes the device snappier).  i don't have to wait for animations to finish before I can do something.
