Hi,. Just got the above box, can't for life of me find the setting to enable Remote Control (Via App on other device).
On previous boxes there's been a toggle in settings, along with HDMI CEC.
Apps like RemoteIME don't find the box on the network.
Anyone know if it's possible to enable this on these?
Oh, and is there any other way other than via various Apps, to enable true full screen (hide top and bottom bars)?
Cheers

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.
I'm talking with an app developer about adding the feature of hiding the Notification Bar while in his app. Specifically, to allow it to display only when the center of the tablet is pressed a la the Gallery app. He told me that this was not possible because Google disallows it, but I swear I've seen it done in other apps. Go Launcher and Cyanogenmod both include a similar option to show/hide the NB by swiping up/down thus extending the range of the desktop to the whole screen. It must be possible then, right? Does it just require root access?
Edit: I've also seen the Cyanogenmod team add the same swipe-hide feature to the stock browser.
This very annoying removal of the quick toggle I am trying to find a workaround, everytime there is a new android version I have to fight with feature removals.
I thought this would be simple using tasker but in tasker the 2g/3g mobile data toggle function is red, marked as unavailable on my device.
It can still be toggled but only manually navigating deep inside the settings menu. It seems tho a quick toggle API function is removed.
Any app/tasker guide to work around this? as I suspect this can still be done via tasker but instead having to make it call the menu function instead.
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?
Is there anyway of hiding this nag prompt about using full screen display?
Some of the business apps I use don't support this option and on occasion I have caught the setting, the app then force close's.
I only get app's working again after changing in settings.
Anything I can do to hide or disable this prompt or function?
