[Q] Reading mode when using multi window? - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

So, I can easily use reading mode when only viewing one app; however, when I want to use two apps (both added to reading mode and work perfectly individually), the screen goes back to default brightness. Is there any way to fix this?

How do you enable other apps in Reading mode?

[Q] is there a way to exclude apps from autorotation

Hi,
is there a way to exclude apps from autorotation
My launcher has a seperate option, so that's OK but a lot of apps don't and in some cases it's annoying when it switches to landscape by accident
anyone any ideas?
cheers

If its not in the app settings then just disable it altogether

My Settings are:
By default disable autorotate
Tasker Profile:
- App needs landscape
- context : various apps (PocketCloud/LastFM/etc)
- task: Auto Rotate ON
- action: Display -> Display Rotation -> Set On
- exit task: Auto Rotate Off
- action: Display -> Display Rotation -> Set Off

a very simple method is using the free "Smart Rotator". There you can enable the apps which you want to allow to rotate. Works perfect for me!
This is very helpful, thank you

[REF] How to enable dev options in 4.2

1. Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Click on it.
2. Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number."
3. Tap it seven times. After the third tap, you'll see a dialog that says you're four taps away from being a developer.

Interesting that they decided to make dev settings hidden like an easter egg.
probably due to people messing with it and wondering why apps start crashing
Any other hidden settings ?
Very strange, but good to know. Thanks!

Tap it 7 times alternating your thumb and pinky then lock and unlock the screen 7 times followed by dropping the status bar down 7 times while holding the phone upside down.
No seriously it looks like once you enable it, its there for good.

It's not really needed the 7 taps just allow you to see the developer menu again you still have to turn on the adb option like before.

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?
