LOL, had to click like 10 times, so I almost gave up.
If it didn't work, here's the easter egg.

Ok I'm not sure if this is a bug or an option that can be turned off, but either way its f'n annoying. When i double tap a word to select it, it gets selected but then the menu comes up as if I long pressed the word. So I have to hit the back button. It wouldn't be such a hassle if auto correct wasn't wrong (most of the time), but it is.
Also, since the text edge glow came out I've found it easier to double tap a word to bring up the "select text" option instead of long pressing and tapping "Select Text". But having to hit back makes the cursors disappear. So I can't do that now either.
I haven't seen anyone ask about this. And yes I did search for it but either no ones' asked or I didn't word it right. I've been keeping up with Wolf's thread since it started and have not seen anything in there either. Even asked in there but was ignored. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Btw, it did this on Wolf's v3 and still doing it on v3.5 now. As well as my MMS's being stuck on "sending" with both GB versions I've installed, even though I have correct AT&T apn settings input (unless theyre different now and no ones posted the new settings). Thanks again.

First, I'd like to say a huge thanks to the developers on XDA for everything you've done for my wife's new Nook Tablet and my old HTC Hero CDMA that's now running ICS (you rock jaybob)! You guys are all awesome!
On to my problems...
First, rooted the wife's Nook Tablet, did the partial debloat (worked flawlessly Indirect, after I fixed a driver issue on my end...had to uninstall it and grab it to install the proper drivers before it installed the usb mass storage device driver, otherwise ADB wouldn't see it).
All the B&N stuff is there and using Go Launcher on the "android" side. Here's my first issue...some menus (Beautiful Widgets & Astro File Manager to name a few) and a few other random apps have white text on the menu making it essentially impossible to read what that option is. I played around a little with the Go Launcher settings, but can't find anything to darken the text. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Second, wife doesn't like the stock android keyboard because each letter you press the preview of that character pops up right above it. I know it's a throwback to when you had small screens and it's just a confirmation of the letter your pressing, but she finds it very distracting (I don't even notice it! heh heh) Tried installing other keyboards but since there's no way to go to the stock android settings (only goes to nook settings), I can't enable the keyboards. I tried going to the nook hidden settings and selecting a new keyboard from there, but only the "android keyboard" shows up, not the other couple I tried installing.
Last, is there any way to bring up the stock android settings options?
Swore I'd never say this to keep like sounding like a noob instead of just a lurker, but I looked around the forums and didn't see any questions that addressed my "problems" ...so if there are answers to these somewhere, a link would be appreciated.
I have the feeling these are issues that can't be fixed until get access to the bootloader/recovery and get the ability to cook custom ROMs.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The stock android settings menu doesn't exist. Try using the Hidden Settings app to get to the most common settings.
Ahh...that explains it...was looking in the wrong forum! lol I think I was searching my HTC Hero forum since that's where I default to. The keyboard fix worked. Gonna try the menu thing later after I finish reading all the posts.
Center dot in status bar press and slide to lock/unlock. Sweet. Sorry if this has been posted. Just got too excited

Can I ask how is this useful?
I always hit that Damn status bar when I'm playing games like modern combat 3 online. Super useful...atleast if you're a gamer

They screwed up something.
The settings menu is now active in the lock screen.
And when you click on a notification, it was simply bypass the lock screen...

Where is this at? i can not find it any place. im using [ROM] AlmostStock_9.4.2.21 (with motley_tfp_beta_kernel-2.1) there is no center dot on my bottom bar.
Look here
Go to settings, Asus Customized settings System Bar Lock - Enable it for there. Then you get a little tutorial for folks too lame to figure it out, LOL. I guess that's smart, else they would have to field all the support calls "I lost my System Bar!", "My System Bar disappeared". Help. I Just locked myself in the car and I have no keys... LOL!
And people are just discovering this NOW? Wow. There is so LITTLE to get excited about with this "Awesome new features" update (Gary Key's comment was: " Updates and fixes galore for the lack of better words.") that I think I found all the "New and exciting features in about a minute and 22 seconds, LOL! I posted about the lock thing 2 minutes after downloading. I guess I was just expecting more... Sigh. And where, pray tell is Face Lock? The "Receive Notifications on Lock Screen was a ruse, all they did was unlock the quick setting menu while on lock screen.
Big. Friggin. Whoop. Asus, Fix my Keyboard/Typing entry so when I am on XDA, trying to make this device better, the cursor doesn't constantly jump to the first character position in the text box. This has been happening since release, and no FW release has helped in the slightest, .11 through .21 inclusive.
You need to enable it.
Settings | Asus Customised Setting | SYSTEM BAR
The you'll get a little grey dot in the middle, hit it and it turns into a lock.
This is the best thing that could happen to my (and other) writing apps. So many users have complained about accidentally hitting the system menu while writing. It should really be a default option in Android. Maybe they will consider letting us hide the system bar completely.

You can buy it with your phone or any other device, make a Titanium backup, copy the backup to the prime and restore it. I did it with my DesireHD and on the prime i even have the Tablet adapted version.
Btw if you play it with a gamepad and USB/BT joystick center it actually feels like a real game
Speaking of Face Unlock, I rather like Samsung's impending implementation with the 'blink' feature. Should help counter those pesky photograph unlocks we've all been subject to... or not. :-/

I have the system bar lock off because I don't care for it , but when I watch a video or do something else that dims the system bar buttons (and turns them to dots)the middle dot appears and doesn't do anything. Bug? Or am I missing something.

Can you use a plug-n-play xbox controller? Anyone know?
Doesn't work right when tablet sleeps
i though it was handy, and tried it. Then my tablet went to sleep and when I woke it up the unlock spot was GONE! I was stuck in the kindle app.
I had to go and get the keyboard and connect it, use the settings button there, and disable the system bar lock function for it to come back.
I tried playing around with the feature since, the unlock reliably disappears whenever the tablet goes to sleep, but flicking around near the bottom for a while can make it unlock.
I have been lurking on this site for a while. Let me say thank you to all the developers here, its incredible that you would take time out of your life to help other people with our miniscule problems that we bring upon ourselves.
Anyway I recently upgraded from cyanogenmod 9 to cyanogenmod 10 on my Samsung infuse 4g. In the 9th version, there was a section in the system menu for developer tools. In it was a bunch of options but the one i am concerned with is the cursor. Actually i cant recall what it is called but when enabled, it shows a little circle wherever the screen is being touched. I love that feature and i figured it would still be in the 10th version but i cannot find it. I dont know what to search for to find information so i had to create this account and ask.
Okay i was playing with the settings and i found this.
Settings - Lock Screen - Slider shortcuts - drag the dot to a new location - activities - Dev tools - Pointer Location
but when i lock the screen and then unlock it and slide the dot to the icon, it just brings up a kind of app. the one in CM9 was global and it was different, it didnt track the touch, just showed it...
found it (?)
okay i found how to enable it but its hidden like a *****
Had to set Dev tools to the slider icon, then save, lock the screen, unlock it, slide to the dev tools icon, and the developer options is THERE. WHO PUT IT THERE?! How were we supposed to get to it? The dev tools contain many useful features. I use the long press back key kill app feature, and some people might use the max background processes to free up memory. You can change transition animation timing, and lots of other things. IDK why they hid it away on CM10 unlike CM9.
Anyway thats where the dev tools are. Question answered, maybe it will help someone else.

Go to settings - About Phone - And press on the "build number" for 7 times.
You will get a message saying "You're now a developer" or something.
And the Developer Options menu should be available in settings.
Hi
I was bit surprise to see in Sony xperia z2 there is no Developer Option in Settings.
But today morning while playing with my settings I tried to tap multiple times on my version no. ....23.1.0.1.167
And surprisingly it enabled my developer Option in Setting. Might be we have to tap it for 3-4 times..don't remember exactly..
Don't know whether this is known information but sharing it So that If any one don't know.... he/She can use it.
Hit Thanks if it helps you.
It's hidden by default since 4.2 JB.
