So great, thanks you
Why do people create topics like this when its just much easier/quicker to get answer by searching xda or google? I mean its just obvious that this question would have already been asked or answered.
Plus this isnt even a Galaxy S2 question, Its a Android question
Go Setting then press About Phone, go to the Build Number press it about 7 times, and there you go.
Now you have the Developer Option availible.
Go to settings>about phone, then, tap build number 7 times to enable developer options.

It has been quite some time since the HTC touch pro came and since the very beginning there was talk about running android on it. I mean I remember a month after the Touch Pro came out someone had Android running on it, although it was just a proof of concept and didn't have touch or anything working.
So how has is been coming? Is Android finally a viable option for the Touch Pro?
I mean I would love to try android on my phone, as long as it works with bluetooth and the hardware buttons...that's really all I need. I can manage without wifi, speaker, etc.

You should have visited the wiki first, before asking a question that has an easy searchable answer

Sorry I didn't know about the wiki and I did do a search for android in the ROM development forum and didn't come up with much.
But I was just wondering what kind of experiences people have had with it and wether it has been working smoothly.

A) link is broken... please fix!!
link is fine, but it seems like connect utb is down. Give them until tommorow
Can somebody help me with a weird problem?
Everything boots up just fine, but when I follow the how-to for my mobile networking my hardware keys(home, back, dial & disconnect) won't work!
Does anyone have a solution for that?
edit: it seems to be that the home and dial key are also left and the back and disconnect key are acting like a right key
thx in advance!
You asked for an opinion right?
I did try the android ports, even tried the one that's more recent but I didn't find them usable. They're too complicated and things don't work as expected. Maybe in time they will create a usable port for the touch pro but by then I will want to change my phone...I'm considering that right now too...
BUT. Some quality work has been done and it is a really cool experience. I appreciate all the work that has been put into that project.
So I was reading a blog outside of XDA (yes that is right, I do read other sites) and came across this interesting thing that I thought I would share. Plus this is a pre-emptvie strike against all the spawn threads popping up asking this.
In previous Android builds the Developer Options was in Settings>scroll to near bottom and there is was. Now in 4.2, that setting is gone. Well not really. It IS gone from plain sight, but it is still there. Seem those crafty OS builders decided to hide it from you.
All you have to do is go to Settings>About Phone/Tablet (this is for N4 and updated N7 too) and click on the Build Number a few times --->[Think about when you are mashing the screen to find the Easter Egg. It is similar to this]. It should start counting down. Repeat the process until it states, "You are now a developer". Then you can back out to the main page of Settings and your Developer Options should now be there.
Please note, I said Build Number and NOT Android Version
Good Luck and Happy Developing

I Had found it my self the first time i used cm10.1 without any ones help
First of many, many thanks to all the devs at DRH for their efforts in porting Androids latest and greatest to our grab. You guys have done an amazing job. In particular, installing this ROM was a breeze (once I found the right zip).
I need your help getting GPS navigation to work. I have a GPS Bluetooth dongle which is paired but does not seem to communicate th. coordinates to the nav app. For verification I used 'GPS Test' but even though it says that GPS is on no coordinates are shown. This was a problem with a previous ROM I tried based on 4.1 which didn't communicate with my dongle either. A few months back I was on HC and
installed a file called bluetoothprovider.apk which made it all work but I can't use it here. I only mention it to point out that the problem is not due to a faulty dongle.
I hope someone knows anything about this and is able to help. I'd certainly would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
I just found that there is a build 2 available. I'm gonna try that one.
Didn't work either... (insert expletives here)
Talk to herbert1. See if his BlueGPS4Droid works with your BT GPS.
Thanks for the suggestion but before I do I found that I need to enable 'mock locations' in the developer's option but that option is missing from the settings menu. How come it's not there?

Good news: having found the developers options menu I was able to check 'Mock Locations'. With the 'Bluetooth GPS' app I finally saw location data on my tab. Now I can take on the road with me as a trusted navigation companion. All is well that ends well!
One more post and I can finally participate in the dev forums .....
tada...
Hey guys.
I'm a newb here, actually, completely new to to the Android scene after having an iPhone since the 3G (0 complaints here, except for the iOS "feeling stale), through the 5.
I bought an HTC One M7 in May and I have to say, for my first Android phone, I love it. But of course, since I was an avid jailbreaker of the iPhone, I of course was curious about rooting.
And although I'm new to Android, I've gotten around to learning how to root and unroot and so on.
I am currently on the latest Android Revolution HD custom ROM. But ever since I upgraded to HD 10.3, my Developer Options Menu has completely disappeared. And I have no idea why.
I ran a search on the topic, but did not find anything.
Can anyone assist me?
Thanks! :laugh:

#Go to Settings >
About Phone
#Scroll to bottom of screen and select Build Number
#Tap phone’s Build Number seven times to unlock or reveal the hidden Developer Options.
Hope this helps.

Actually I don't have an HTC One, so I didn't know the exact path.
I found this from a Google search.

Ive looked everywhere and I see ups and downs to the new runtime. I see a lot of people using it... but how do you install/test/check it out for yourself?
I have an xt912 CDMA that id love to switch over and see how it goes... But there's no information.
Can someone enlighten me?
First of all, you've got to have a KitKat rom. Than you go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Select runtime. And BTW - googling the answer would take far less time than posting your question here...
