[Q] How can we set USB debugging as default?

AFAIK we must using the sideloading .apk to popup the hidden settings @ NT and then choose the USB debugging options there, but we must redo it every reboot if need ADB access.
How can we set USB debugging as deafult? change settings.sql database?
and it'll be very good if we can access the whole hidden settings option as well . Pls share your experience!
Many Thanks
The easiest way to toggle usb debugging is to use either the tgps app to run and access the menu or use a custom shortcut button directly to the settings menu to toggle it every time. To actually change things in the nook code to fit our every need requires a ton of annoying trial and error hacking. Most people are just patiently waiting for the boot signature bypass so we can just push over a custom rom that has all this done already.

Pls share the a custom shortcut button directly to the settings menu, MY LORD!!!
The app anycut is a great one that will create a customized shortcut to any place in your settings.

i think widgetzoid has an option to create an usb debug on/off widget.

[MOD]i9195 Disable HOME button on lockscreen(rooted stock rom)[MOD]

Hi
The main goal: disabling the home button wake on the lockscreen and every other home fuction remain the same
this solution based on this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224688
you need root acces:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
Download Total Commander from Play (it's better bcose there is automatic moun/remount function )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander
- allow root acces to TC
- navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
- locate and copy to safe place gpio-keys.kl and sec_keys.kl
- open the original files with TC editor (press once on the filename and choose "Edit")
- Search the following lines in gpio-keys.kl:
Code:
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 172 HOME WAKE
and delete the WAKE world and all spaces after HOME!
it should be looking:
Code:
key 102 HOME
key 172 HOME
- save gpio-keys.kl (TC do all mount-remount thing)
- Search the following line in sec_keys.kl:
Code:
key 172 HOME WAKE
and delete the WAKE world and all spaces after HOME!
it should be looking:
Code:
key 172 HOME
- save sec_keys.kl (TC do all mount-remount thing)
restart the phone and enjoy
If you're using CM, go to Settings - Display and Uncheck the second last option to achieve the same effect in a much simpler way

Very useful tutorial. Thank you a lot. My phone used to unlock itself in my pocket and then make a call or mess up settings... S4 mini reacts to touches trough thin cloth. This wasn't problem on HTC.
Wanam xposed module can do it ss well. Obviously you need to have xposed framework installed.

Not working with my AT&T S3 with stock 4.4.2 android. This is driving my nuts. There has to be a way to disable this. HELP!!!
Hi,
I've rooted my Galaxy S4 mini because the home button is turning on the screen continiously draining my battery. The root was succesfull, but i cant edit the files with Total commander. I get a 're-mount error'. Anyone know how to solve this? I'm running stock android 4.2.2.
I also tried installing Wanam Xposed and found the option, but it didn't work.
Thanks
Removing WAKE didn't help my either. I had to comment out (#) the whole line in gpio-keys.kl.
Now HOME is completely disabled and I installed Auto Hide Soft Keys to create a virtual nav bar.
On the other hand, who needs HOME

Thanks for your reaction! My problem is that i cant change the gpio-keys.kl file. I get a 're-mount error'. But maybe i will need your suggestion further on.
Hmmm, phone is rooted?
I used ES File Explorer in Root Mode, changed gpio-keys.kl file permissions to rx-rx-rx, edited the file and restored permissions to rx-r-r. After a reboot, HOME was disabled.

Yes the phone is rooted. I checked it with root checker. Maybe i need to change the the file permissions. How can i do this? With ES file explorer?
Do you use stock android ?
Yes I'm on stock rom.
Open ES Explorer and go to Tools. Switch on Root Explorer. Mark the file and change the permissions via More > Properties. Just add the middle and lower check on the right side.
Now edit the file and change the permissions back.
I am able to save the file now, but the home button is still functioning. I commented out the lines with HOME in gpio-keys.kl and rebooted. But still the screen keeps turning on because of the home button.:crying:
In reverse?
Anyone know if the opposite variation on this is possible?
I.e., I'd like to be able to use the home button to wake my phone up, but not to take me to the home screen, simply to turn the screen on so I can continue with whatever app I'm currently using, such as gps... (if it can carry on working as home button when the screen is already on, that would be fine).
Using the side power button can sometimes be a hassle and I'd like a way to simply turn the screen on quickly. I'm also on CM not stock though...
Thanks!

Sir my question was not about Developer Settings but about USB settings menu.
That is where USB debugging and such is. How ever if you mean mass storage.. When you plug the device to a computer a notification will pop up and ask.
Like this.
Do you mean this? Settings > Storage. From there you can change USB settings.

Sorry, my question was related to how to change the supported 4g band in HAM2. One of the requirement is to get hidden USB settings menu. Similar to what is show in this link,

Then my 1st post is correct. That's how you enable it to be hooked up to your PC.

Add Guest mode and Multiple Users. (Easy)

For those of you who's carriers have disabled the Guest mode and Multiple Users mode you can easily turn it back on provided your phone IS rooted and you're capable of editing the build.prop file in the /system folder.. This feature comes in handy when your family or friends want to use your phone and you don't want them to be snooping through your stuff! Add this to your build.prop file
#
# Multi-Users
#
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
And then reboot the phone and upon turning back on swipe down from the top quick settings and you'll see a new option (circle picture) next to the system icon gear.. Tap that and check it out..
As always, make sure you make a backup first since you never know if anything could possibly go wrong!
I have the unlocked Note. Is guest mode disabled on the unlocked version? Or do I need to root to enable it? Thanks!

You should be able to see a picture right next to the system icon gear in the quick settings menu. If you can't tap on it then you don't have it and the only way I know of to get it is with root access to change the build.prop file.
No Icon visible
Hello. My Note8 is rooted. After changing Build.prob, I can add users, but not switch. The Icon in Task bar is missing. I checked the Build.prob. entrys. They are correct. Any help?
