[Q] Settings Softkey not showing up - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I tried to find this on here but it's hard to search a forum about modding Android devices with the main search word being "settings".
I just got CM10.1.0 on my Nook Tablet, build number cm_acclaim-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E and I don't have the settings softkey in certain apps. I remember on my G-Nex there was a way to override when the settings key was off and on to make it so it was always on but I don't see how to do that in my settings now.
Anyone know a workaround for this?

How to modify quick access menu on android 2.42?

When you swing your finger down on android 2.42 you see that well known notifications menu. However there is a new tab called "Quick Access".
Devs dropped there what they imagine would be useful (their imagination always stops in a half way).
So is there any possibility to edit this menu?
I'm looking in the configuration menus but I can't find anything.
Thanks.

[Q] Post Root - Keyboard and App Menu Issues

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.

[Q] Access hidden power save menu

Hi there,
the last days I played with my motorola milestone with CM 7.1.2 (Android 2.3.7) ROM and "found" an power settings menu, where I can set such things like "enable bluetooth if device charge" and many other usefull things.
Now, I tried to access this again but I can't. Now, I found not much about it but I found here some users which also find a/this menu: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/354267-hidden-power-saving-menu.html
Now, question: How this settings can reached? So far I can remember, I access this settings by "Settings -> About the phone -> Battery usage" and there was an entry which I call. Then I pressed a button for this settings and see them.
Any Idea how this menu can reached?

[Q] S2 Jelly Bean - How to disable Quicksettings auto scroll ?

Hello, Xda-members. I have a:
Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)
Android 4.1.2 (Xwls8) Odexed/Stock/Spain-release
I already successfully modified market app's & system app's, this is not my problem.
Note, I have Googled for hours and I also used search function and couldn't find a solution, so I ask my question here.
I'm sorry if my post is in the wrong thread, I'm new to XDA !
I want to change a behavier regarding the "Quick settings panel". I try to describe my problem in detail.
When I open the "Notification tray" from the "Notification bar" the "Quick settings" are automatically shown
in the middle of all available quick settings:
See image: *ww.abload.de/img/aros3c.png
When I stop touching the notification tray, then it automatically slides to the left side.
I believe this is supposed to show the user to notice that there are more quick settings hidden on the right side to scroll to.
This really annoys me and I already know they are there.
Ok, my question is: How do I disable this behavier ? How do I change it to immediately start on the left side ?
See image: *ww.abload.de/img/bx3sae.png
I have decompiled my SystemUI.apk (I already did other changes to it) but I can't find the spot where this function is defined...
So, anyone here who knows what I have to change in the Xml's
I hope this is not a foolish question... Help and hints are welcome !
Hi !
6 month later I have the exact same question !
Anyone knows if it's possible and how it's done?

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 Developer tools?

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.
