well actually come to think of it there is a way.. like when i flashed a custom rom the option was hidden..so i used the combo to make it visible but i didnt need to since usb debugging was already on, so if that is the only think you use in dev settings its possible to let it remain hidden and have debugging on

Go to settings - apps then the all tab. Scroll to settings and clear cache and data. Should be hidden again. You'll lose signal for a minute or so but after that it's back to normal

If you already root and don't want to losing your settings just install root explorer..open it and navigate to data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/development.xml..edit and change value "true" to "false"..save and exit..then delete development.xml.bak..after that go to settings>apps>all>Settings..open it then force stop..then open Settings app to check it..voila! developer options disappeared!

Hide developer options mod
Thanks phadly!
I was searching for a solution just like the one you have suggested.
Based on your answer I have made a small mod that hides the developer options - All it does is replacing the development.xml file with one that contains a 'false' value, and setting the right permissions. I tested it on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and it work perfectly.
If anyone want to use the mod, it can be downloaded from here - flash it with CWM/TWRP etc.

Use case: I just put CM11 on a friend's Nook Tablet but I want to hide it so she can't go in there and somehow do something to make it explode...because she will find a way. I don't want ADB access ever getting turned off in case I need to try and save the device and that's the only way I can talk to it. I also want to take away Advanced Reboot so she doesn't get into recovery. So, there ya go Thanks for those who posted those methods to do this.

you could just clear the settings app data and it would go away.

Antone knows how to hide de home menu settings?

The Clear Data button is greyed out. Why??
It's never been greyed out on my previous phones. This is an LG V20.
Any fix other then factory reset?

Paranoid Launcher Switch

Hey guys I have a quick question that's probably been answered. How do I switch launchers on Paranoid if I've chosen one as my main already? I feel like a total noob

Go to manage apps, find the launcher, then clear defaults.

Did that a few times but it didn't work

Try going to manage apps all and find the launcher you want to use. It may be at the bottom. You may have disabled it. Reenable it from there.

After you clear defaults press the Home soft key. Then it will ask which launcher you want to use, and you can set a new default if you want.

This is true as long as you didn't disable the app. If its disabled its like having it frozen. It wont show up as an option.

I did have it frozen but ended up un installing it last night due to issues with music player being garbled on my stereo

Strange Ads on CM10.1

I sometimes use the emoji keyboard that I downloaded off of the Play Store, but right now I 'froze' the app via Titanium Backup Pro because almost 3 times a day, I will get strange advertisements in my notification bar/drawer. And note that I only see this in this CyanogenMod ROM I'm running right now, when I'm running stock TouchWiz, these strange ads never appear. Is there any way to prevent these annoying ads?
Forgot to mention that I do have AdAway installed and working, but it doesn't work for the emoji keyboard.
I'm running CyanogenMod Version: 10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-d2tmo-M2

You can try using an air push blocker, or a different keyboard like go keyboard or kii which both have emoji inputs

This one, for example.

Also if running jb or higher hi can long press on the notification and select app info. That will take you to the a app info screen and select disable notifications.

How to get floating multi window

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone by following these steps nothing should happen but if something occurs dont come crying to me
First what you do it get exposed framework and install it (look up how to get it)apps shown in first picture.
Second thing is find android ui shown in second picture.
Third thing to do is change the resolution shown in the third picture you can change it to 600×1024 or 800×1280 doesnt matter which and dpi doesnt matter but you can change it to your liking
Fourth thing is hit the save button on top right and reboot and if done right the multi window should have a pin shown in fourth picture.
Fith thing is enjoy and if you followed these steps correct you have floating windows like in the fifth picture

One thing is I found out that recents wont come up by holding the home button may differ on yours but the way I got around it is using gmd guesture control and made my recents come up with 2 finger swipe up from bottom I like it better but that is the onpy bug I have found so far

Thanks for the awesome tip, but quick question...with this mod, are you able to minimize the floating windows, or is there no way to do that?

That's not exactly what I meant. I knew it could do that, but I mean like actually minimizing the floating app, like how you do on a regular desktop OS. I remember I saw it somewhere on the International Note II forum, but I didn't know if it was possible on the AT&T version.

Your probly thinking of pop up browser... you can minimize it

After I make the change and reboot my lock screen is enlarged. Any suggestions?

Nope, they are only exclusive to system apps or some system app or settings such as stock browser, email(not gmail), nd gallery... When u enabled it a mug appeared on how to make the motion and gestures to work if u take time to read those it tells u how it works and what things work with it :thumbup:
