Pumpkin - Factory settings protected with a PIN? - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

I've just bought this model:
http://www.autopumpkin.com/pumpkin-...external-wireless-steering-wheel-buttons.html
I've gone to use the 'Factory Settings' and there's only a numeric keyboard?!
Are the proper settings protected by a PIN?!

Try with the usual 126 code

ok, solved. It's 518.

[Q] How to change "on-the-spot" settings?

Hi,
I am using Paranoid 4.4 RC2 and I have set some preferences through on-the-spot settings (just answering the questions I was asked). I would now like to change some of these choices I made. Where/how can I do that? I do not find any settings corresponding to the quesions I was asked...
To be more precise, I'd like to know, how:
to disable the "clear all recent apps" button.
to change QuickSettings
- mcsmart
- Settings> Backup and Reset> Reset Preferences
- Click on the four square boxes icon. Drag and drop.
The change log thread covers this option if you read it.

Okay. Please don't get me wrong (I don't want to be rude or something), but I believe the answer for such a trivial thing should be placed in a more prominent place (not on the third page of a forum thread). Of course you can expect people to read change logs, but just for the ROM version they are using/installing, not for previous versions.

The thread exists to detail every feature of the ROM. It is not merely a change log but detailed instructions on how to use each feature. If people would read it they would know this.

Here you have the modified file, without the hideformobile flags. Make a backup of yours before replacing. Didn't have time for testing it.
Edit: Tested it. Shows the developer tools and can be activated from about:flags

Editing the flags.htm. Reading the file, the properties you want have a hideformobile propertie, delete it or set it to false.

I checked with my own flags file. You can switch "hideformobile" flags to true and the result is the same - aka it works.

The flags are by default TRUE, maybe you meant FALSE.

Have you got inspect element in menu on your browser or will have to do more tweaks for getting this inspect element and view source menu..

Right click doesn't exist in mobile nor does f12... so the answer is no. Maybe if you have a bluetooth keyboard... i don't know. The mobile context menu doesn't show developer tools but it is enabled indeed with this tweak. Desktop edge has a button for developer options in the [. . .] menu but mobile doesn't.
ah, my bad!
Yeah, the flag can be switched to FALSE in order to see it on the mobile.
Also, you can access the other options as well. So far, doing this did my 640XL working better with Edge.

How to disable dt2w?

How do i disble dt2w. It turns on in my pocket. I have the Sept update
Mi a2 lite doesn't have dt2w
Some pieces does have dt2tw, I even remember a thread here with the conclusion that it depend of screen vendor. I have one of them in my hand and there is no relevant options in menu. Dt2w cannot be disabled.
So I take your phone and you take mine as I want this feature xD
I'm not complaining at all, even more, I'm really happy with such unexpected feature
I have this fonction in my MiA2Lite , it cant be disabled also I want to hide the battery percentage but I didn't find any solution
I have mi a2 lite and I had active dt2w. I disabled over root system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl. In this file is key 143. You can disable it over #.

Basically you need to edit the Generic.kl file using root permissions. I use the editor in FX File Explorer, but there's plenty around to choose from. Load up the file explorer and browse to /system/usr/keylayout/ and edit Generic.kl. Change this line:
Code:
key 143 WAKEUP
To this (just put a hash in front):
Code:
# key 143 WAKEUP
How to do this without root?
The above described solution always worked like a charm, but it does not work any longer after I upgraded to Pie... Any Idea how to disable dt2w using Pie?

I'm not sure whether this depends on the RAM/ROM, but I know it has two versions. With EBBG display or with CSOT display. EBBG = without dttw, CSOT = with dttw. You can check it with *#*#6484#*#* (6484 = MIUI), tap on Version Information and search for LCD or TP.

FTVLaunchX 1.0.0 – a simple helper application to allow custom launchers

I found this in the Fire tv section but it works great for the Shield too. Just another option for people to change launchers.
Just install the FTVLaunchX 1.0.0 apk
Open the app and choose your launcher you want.
Reboot and after a reboot it takes about 10 seconds for it to change to your new launcher. The person who made the app says he is going to try to get it to change quicker on boot.
It is inspired by the famous LauncherHijack of @BaronKiko and tries to overcome several issues relating to it:
- Reliably intercepts any & all presses of the home button
- Starts the selected launcher on boot
- Starts the selected launcher when waking up from sleep
- Fixes the ominous missing-cursor bug in Silk
- etc.
FTVLaunchX needs the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to enable an accessibility service on your Fire TV device.
If you know what you are doing then simply grant this permission by executing the following command in an ADB shell on your device:
$ pm grant de.codefaktor.ftvlaunchx android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX/releases/download/v1.0.0/FTVLaunchX-1.0.0.apk
Thanks go to @TheRealQubix and @BaronKiko
Thanks for posting!
A development version with a higher boot priority can be found at the original thread
Oh, and could you tell me which Android version is running on your shield? 7.x?

Ok, so this will be in the next official release too then
I'm unclear on the purpose of this. On the shield you can change your launcher and the home button takes you right to it, and it appears on boot. Is this for non-TV designed launchers?

This is for the current hotfix for the 2019 models.
Q. The ability to set an alternative default launcher is a feature a lot of users want and did have until this hotfix! Can the ability to change default launcher be re-implemented?
A. No, unfortunately not.
Q. Is that with this hotfix or is this something we won’t be able to do from here on out?
A. From here on out. In order for us to pass Google certification and release images, this rule must be followed.
Q. Not even when the final 8.1.1 image is released?
A. Not even the final production image. It's even more important for the final 8.1.1 image. Full production images need Google certification, past hotfixes did not need google certification but Disney+ will only install on Google certified images so even HotFix images that have Disney+ install support need it now.
A. It applies to all future SHIELD experience updates for all models.

So eventually it will happen to all models in a future update.
I wish I knew this. Bought the new Shield tv pro and changed the default launcher in TV launcher. Set it on default. But now I can't find the option to go back to the android launcher. Need some help with this one.

You should be able to go to settings/apps/all apps/Disabled apps/Android TV Home and enable it.

Try going to settings/apps/FTVLaunchX/clear data. Then when you hit the home button it should ask you which launcher you want.

This option is only available for tablets. But if you wish you can change min. width of your device temporarily (DPI) and after setting up WhatsApp changing it back to original.

You can change it under developer settings. To enable that click multiple times on your device build number and you'll see developer settings.
The steps may vary

The naming differs. Maybe you'll have an option of minimum width.
