Could you build this?
Partial Changing the network mode is a normal settings UI, but it relies on privileged system settings that vary across Android manufacturers and usually need ADB, Shizuku, or root access.
What it would actually take: The app would write the hidden preferred-network-mode setting, which requires WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS granted via ADB or Shizuku, and must be tested across many OEM builds. The signal finder and speed test are additional work but standard. Real expertise is needed for Android telephony internals and per-device compatibility testing.
