The build number text is set to show if Developer Options is enabled. It doesn't check anything else.

Yupp but I want to hide it (for aesthetics ๐)
I'm saying this having looked at the source code. You can't hide the build number without turning off Developer Options.
Ohh, Thanks to let me know.
Seems like an easy thing to fix if you just edit the sauce
Yeah, just clone AOSP, edit the source, spend hours fixing build errors, wait hours for the GSI to build, unlock your bootloader and lose all your data, flash the GSI, spend days creating shims to make vendor-specific features work properly, and finally profit. Easy.
If Steve Jobs could do it, anyone can
