I installed a new ROM (neutrino 2.5), I noticed now when I install an application now, at the top it gives me a notification, "tab here to configure privacy settings" (not verbatim). So I can go into an individual app and modify the settings. This is all fine and dandy but I have no idea how to get back to this menu once I modify the settings. Its a rom based on CM7 and I looked all over in the menus to find out where I can go back into the application and change the privacy settings, after I configured them on the initial install from the notification link. I locked some apps down too much and now they don't function properly.
Go to your apps and open pdroid

The Galaxy Tab, as well as CM7 on the Nook Color, feature a Compatibility Mode setting in Settings -> Applications. When disabled, apps designed for a smaller screen on old SDK versions are forced to scale up to the size of the tablet.
This option seems to be missing on the Flyer. Anyone know how to enable/disable it?
The option isn't within the Android settings, you need to download Spare Parts from the Android Market and uncheck the box there and then restart the Flyer. Does not work will all app (speedtest.net will not stretch for me).
Oh, thanks. I thought it was in Settings -> Apps for some reason.
My phone reboots everytime I slide the MIUIWiz lockscreen down using the text icon (right most). Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how I can fix it?
You probably need to set the messaging app.
In the Settings menu, simply go to TSM Parts -> Lockscreen Settings -> Custom App, and choose the app and you should be good to go You don't have to assign it to a messaging app either; anything you could assign to a homescreen shortcut is possible.

Thanks for the reply! I couldn't get it to display any messaging app in the TSM. I get some apps listed, but not the GOSMS that came with the Rom. The phone slider, music, and lock/unlock work perfectly fine, it's just the messaging.
Is there a way to change the selections you made on the EULA screen during the Setup Wizard, specifically changing things like allowing third party usage and diagnostic data? I've tried the Nova Launcher Activities method to start the SetupWizardTestActivity, but that doesn't lead to the screen where you select mandatory and optional portions of the EULA. I should mention I know this can be changed with a factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that.
I think what this check box does is just enables Activity Logs in Settings -> About phone. Just go there and uncheck it.
That item is for Google services, but does not allow for adjusting third party app activity logging.
can't enable "always on" VPN for OpenVPN in EMUI (but works for other vendors UIs)
In Android 8, 3rd party VPN apps can use the new APIs to show up in Androids VPN list and also offer settings like "always on VPN".
I'm using "OpenVPN for Android". On my LG phone with Android 8 it shows up in that list just as a native VPN and I can edit it by clicking the gear icon on that entry in the list. There I can enable the "always on" feature.
But in EMUI, in that same VPN list, the gear icon is only shown for native VPNs. For my OpenVPN entry, theres an arrow icon instead. By clicking, it enters the OpenVPN app instead of showing an Android settings screen. Inside the OpenVPN app I can't do that system setting for "always on", I think that an app cannot set this setting, it must be done by the user in the Androidsettings.
Am I too stupid or did Huawei implemented the settings screens so strange that it is just not possible to access the needed screen?
Are there apps that let you change Android settings instead of using the proprietary setting pages from LG, Huawei, etc?

You can use Nova Launcher, as shown here:

You could also try installing Settings Database Editor which allows you to manually alter the settings database.

Nova Launcher is just for Homescreen (I'm already using it across all devices) but the Settings keep proprietary (or do I miss some settings of Nova?)
But thank you for the hint to Settings Database Editor, I was able to copy the 2 necessary lines from my LG phone.
For anyone interested in this, the settings are in "Secure Table":
"always_on_vpn_app" -> "de.blinkt.openvpn" (adjust if using another client)
"always_on_vpn_lockdown" -> "1"
But it only takes effect after a reboot. It doesn't matter much for me but what would I need to do after adding those system settings to apply the change? Is there some process to restart or a way to reload the config?
How do I select google for auto fil, I already went to general management as well and also u der google settings autofil is enabled but I can't select it under this list

Try Settings > Privacy > Other privacy settings >Autofill service from Google.
I'm able to enable it on that screen
Found it, all I had to do was press on (autofill with samsung pass) on that picture and it brings up more options, I was clicking on the settings cog thing instead
