Network Switch

Modern Android app for network mode switching

A modern Android application that enables users to toggle between network modes, supporting 34 different network configurations including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G combinations. Features dual control methods: Root access for rooted devices and Shizuku for non-rooted devices. Built using Jetpack Compose and Material Design 3.

Purpose

Network Switch provides control over your device's network modes, supporting 34 different configurations from basic 2G-only to advanced 5G combinations. This includes:

• Basic Modes: GSM (2G), WCDMA (3G), LTE (4G), NR (5G) only
• Combined Modes: Various 2G/3G/4G/5G combinations
• Regional Modes: CDMA support for US carriers, TD-SCDMA for Chinese networks
• Global Modes: Network support for international usage

Use Cases

• Quick network switching through customizable Quick Settings tile
• Battery optimization by selecting power-efficient modes
• Speed optimization by forcing high-performance modes
• Coverage optimization in areas with poor signal quality
• Data usage management with specific network restrictions
• Testing network compatibility and performance

The app provides two methods of operation:

• Root Method: Direct system access for rooted devices
• Shizuku Method: System access through Shizuku service for non-rooted devices

Features

• Network Control: 34 different network modes including pure and combined configurations
• Privacy-Focused: No internet permissions, all operations are local
• Configurable Toggle Modes: Choose any two network modes for quick switching
• Quick Settings Tile: Shows current and next modes with customizable configuration
• Dual Control Methods: Root and Shizuku support for compatibility
• Modern Material Design 3 Interface: Clean, intuitive UI with extensive configuration options
