I don't know if this is widely known but I've never seen it written down before and a quick search of this forum didn't turn up anything.
To access Developer Options on your 8.9" HDX with OS 4.5.1; go to Settings and open the Device Options screen; tap Device Model quickly several (5 - 6) times (you will see a countdown). Developer Options will appear at the bottom of the list.
Other ROMs are reportedly made zipper by reducing each of the animation settings (I.e.; from 1 to .5) so you might try that as a start but, don't mess with settings you don't understand - you may come to regret it.

I'm developer of application that allows to control tablet (or phone) with gestures similar to iPad.
GMD GestureControl on XDA
I added support for Nexus 10, but I didn't know touchscreen resolution, so I need your help.
If your device is rooted, please install application from that thread (or Play Store) and send me calibrations values:
1) Open application
2) Go to 'Advanced' tab
3) Click 'Calibrate' and follow instructions on screen. Basically you have to click 'Start' and then touch borders till calibration values stop increasing (maximum is registered). Then click 'Stop'
4) Open Help tab, click Email developer->Good overridden settings. Application will prepare email with calibration values. Email it to me.
Thank you.
Just sent you an email. Hope it helps but not entirely sure if the values are right because the screen resolution of a Nexus 10 should be 2560x1600.

Thank you. I updated values. Touch screen resolution may differ from display resolution. Android does mapping inside, but I cannot retrieve these values, so I have to add these values into application or users have to do calibration.
Your app rocks!

i wrote a mod to disable the software buttons because i only use gestures now!

Love the work! I have been around XDA for a long time, probably three or four years before I started using this screen name & they added the one name rule. I have always supported those developers that seem good people with great ideas. I never tried your "lite" version, nor did I try any XDA beta versions. I read what the app did, loved the idea, saw a few screen shots & reviews/comments from a few folks I know & respect & instantly purchased both GMD & S-Pen Gesture Control pro apps from the Play Store. I also instantly shared my positive feedback with many via G+ & a few sites.
Having a long XDA history, I have seen a lot of great ideas come & go. Some never quite live up to what they could be, some are ahead of their time & others just are nothing new, just the latest incarnation of some semi-popular feature.
Occasionally though, something comes along that is simple, yet elegant & happens to be an absolutely precise representation of tha natural progression & evolution of base features. This app is just that, the extension of natural progression that touch navigation is becoming. This app is like a feature that should already be integrated from Google, so natural & simple, and yet, so necessary. Anyone that hasn't at least played with this app, is missing out. It is by far my favorite app & I highly recommend supporting the developer, whomever he or she is.

Totally agree (gestures only!). I`m in the middle of making my Nexus 7 `gestures only`... and in the process , I`m getting more screen real estate (no more status/nav bar!). Great app!!
Hey Stupididea, Can you help?
All I want to do is simple snappy ios gestures.
5 finger pinch to home-close
4 finger swipe left or right to switch apps.
5 finger pinch to close-home is not in the default settings so I had to make a custom one.
Its works,.. after 8-9 attempts..
I think Im missing something here. Can you assist with a walk-through of reccomended settings for what im looking to do, or
perhaps update the next build with these settings as a default toggle?
Cheers!

What you wanna do is the following:
1. Go to custom gesture tab
2. press create gesture
3. type in your desired gesture name
4. type "P" (without quotes) in Gesture Path
5. select 5 touch points
6. Tap action type and select: Action -> Status Bar Actions -> Home
7. Hit "Save"
8. You're done!
I need to lay off the sauce.lol I just noticed the 4 finger pinch to close. Works great!
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.
I figured out how to enable the measurement tool in the dell gallery app after the update that removed the functionality.
Within the app, go to settings then tap the app version number (it said 'Gallery 1.3.1' in my case) several times quickly and debug options will appear. Tick the option for "show measurements" and you are in business.

@beestee thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm on my Venue.
I am quite surprised the Venue community hasn't grown to the unit having its own forum. This is an amazing device.
Hi, this may have been asked before, but I can't seem to find a straight answer for it:
I've got a Huawei Mate 10 Pro. The damn phone keeps killing apps running in the background, no matter how I configure the "Launch" menu. Is there any way to prevent the phone from killing apps running in the background? Even the 'Lock' button on the apps in the app manager screen doesn't prevent that from happening!
It's worth mentioning that my phone is not rooted, nor is going to be any time soon, since it seems so much riskier to root this phone than it is with other phones.
.......delet.....
Go to settings - battery - launch and find the app you don't want to be terminated then change to manual mode(ensure that you enable the 3 options especially run in background)
Or go to special access - ignore Battery optimization - select all apps then scroll to the app you want not to be terminated, tap on it, select allow then click OK and exit

Amazing, thank you very very much!!
Honestly, the power settings on this phone are horrible!
You're welcome
A lot of settings need to do.

i always turn off the v on the auto brightness cause i love my on the full bright
but every restart i make it turn back to default ?
I too don't like this behavior, particularly because if restarting the phone in poor light conditions the screen is automatically set to a very low brightness.
I'd like to know if this is a bug or it's so by design...
By design. All my mates did this. Don't like either but is what it is.
yup. an issue for me too
This is seriously a Huawei 'feature'? Holy.... :silly:
Possible solution:
Depending on your exact model and restrictions placed on it in your country/territory you should be able to do the following to stop this (VERY!) annoying issue:
1) Turn-off power-saving battery modes if you haven't already
2) Go into 'Settings' then: System -> Developer Options -> there will be an option called "Increase Readability Under Sunlight" -> Toggle this setting to "OFF"
3) Go back to main Settings screen, then "Display" and ensure that "Auto-Adjust" is OFF
This should stop the phone from constantly turning the automatic adjustment back on every time you restart.
NOTE: Some may find that they do not see a "Developer Options" menu within their System settings. If this is you then you MIGHT be able to activate this hidden menu by going into the System section then About Phone, then press/click the "Build Number" part of the screen 7 times in a row.
If this works for you it will pop up with a message such as "you are now an authorised developer"
If you get this kind of message then if you go back to your main System settings screen you should now see the previously hidden 'Developer Options' section
Hope this helps some of you, I had to do this on my new Mate 20 Pro
I really hoped that 146 update solved this problem, but even with all the above settings disabled, after reboot the auto brightness setting always stays ON...
Even more annoying is the dimming within certain apps. When you open Chrome for example, the display dims. And when you close Chrome the display gets brighter (to its original value) again. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. The problem occurs with autobrightness disabled as well as when the autobrightness is enabled. Also with Increase Readability Under Sunlight toggled off.
I'm looking for a fix that stops the dimming when opening certain apps, but let's me be able to keep the autobrightness function on.
I'm not sure if this works, I'm not even sure if the app is called power genie or power genius. But I saw this in a forum.
. non rooted solution will be: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Try this as for me it is working perfect. Download setting database editor. Install it, after that go to setedit app and find hw_screen_auto_brightness_adj and delete line. Reboot and voila. No more dimming or increase in autobrightness.

Tried this a couple of times, off/on/off on my p30pro, but makes no difference at all, any other ideas for these phones?
I had the same annoying "issue" with my Mate20Pro.
I have an efficient way to solve this.
Just download MacroDroid app, and you can make a macro with these parameters: after turn on do: set brightness to X% and turn off auto adjust.

Thank you for introducing this very useful app
It'd be brilliant if you could provide the exact instruction to do the parameters ... I couldn't figure it out after trying for several times

Just stop rebooting your phone. It doesn't need it. Worst case is that you have to enable it after Android updates.
