USB Debug Guard is a root-only tool for long USB debugging sessions. It protects the display while keeping ADB reachable, then restores the previous display settings when protection stops.



Features




Requirements




Root behavior varies between devices, OEM firmware, and Root managers. Test the app on a non-critical device before relying on it for unattended sessions.


WhatsNew:

The F-Droid build no longer asks for network access: it has no update check, so it never needed the INTERNET permission. Guard behavior is unchanged.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
