About Demo Mode tile
It's a very simple tool presented as a Quick Tile to simplify the process of setting up and activating Demo Mode. It's already pre-configured out of the box with perfect 7:00 clock, full WiFi, full signal and full battery icons for stunning clutter-free screenshots.
For it to work you need to grant it two permissions through adb shell from your computer:
adb -d shell pm grant com.franco.demomode android.permission.DUMP
adb -d shell pm grant com.franco.demomode android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
The DUMP permission is required for the Demo Mode to actually work, and the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS is necessary for the Quick Tile to read the setting and present the correct icon depending on its state.
Since these permissions can be a little scary, for transparency sake I've open sourced it here https://github.com/franciscofranco/Demo-Mode-tile

Sounded like the perfect app, great idea, good instructions - however even after granting required permissions over adb - doesn't appear to be working. LG G5 - 7.0. Happy to be shown if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a specific reason that this won't work for LG devices. Update - developer advised that demo mode has to be enabled from developer settings. Does work now but "System UI" crashes frequently when using the tile (doesn't crash when toggling from developer settings). I guess is a nice idea, but difficult to execute cleanly for all devices. Wouldn't advise it for LG G5 on 7.0 Thanks to the developer for the communication (N.B. I'm happy to provide device logs etc if desired - have emailed you directly with my details)

Thanks for this! I was just thinking a day or two before you released this that it would be great to have a quick tile for demo mode.

It works, but after you follow the instructions for granting permission, you have to tap the pencil icon while viewing tiles in order to find and use the demo mode tile.

Awesome work. Just close the notifications panel automatically after one presses the tile

Priceless. It now belongs on my top 6 tiles.

It does nothing on Android 7.1.1 Nexus 6P. Permissions are given through adb.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my Nexus 6P with Android 7.1.1 (there is no Demo mode tile in status bar and in tile settings). Both permissions are granted. I switched to demo mode and restarted the phone - no effect. UPD: yes, I've toggled the "enable demo mode" switch in Settings - Developer options - Demo mode.
