I'm currently having launcher pro running without any problem in my X10 mini pro.
But I notice that I could no longer entering into service menu where ones can perform various test of the phone. Pressing menu now will always bring up option to launch Home Screen or Launcher pro.
Service Menu: Menu - Back Back - Menu - Back - Menu Menu - Back on quick seccession will bring up a service menu window.
Anyone have any shade of light of doing this alternatively without uninstalling launcher pro??
I got launcher pro and can enter service menu without any problem. Try pressing the key faster
Sent from the awesome XDA App
I tried it fast but still no go.
Do you have to be in the launcher pro home or the original home screen?
Is is correct the step above "Menu - Back Back - Menu - Back - Menu Menu - Back"??
Edite: Nevermind, got it.. thanks. Ones must be in the locked screen to enter the combinations sequence to work. Thanks..
please add this to your thread: [SOLVED].

Open the Contacts app's settings and long-press in the blank space at the bottom middle of the screen for about five seconds and then stop pressing, and an Enter service code button will be displayed. Touch the button and a dialer will be displayed. Enter *#*#73556673#*#* and the demo mode should toggle off.
READ THIS if you have a problem trying to get the Enter service code button to be displayed.
To reset the XTZ to factory settings, open tablet's Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.

It doesn't work in 4.4 kitkat anymore. Earlier you can disable it via code *#*#SELLMORE#*#* or delete retaildemo.apk if you have root. But in 4.4 there is no such apk and code doesn't work as far as i know.

[Q] Car Mode

I always used "Car Home Ultra" as car-app on my S4. I triggered "carmode" on my S4, after which it tried to launch the default carmode-launcher. So, whenever you pressed the Home-button in Carmode, the carmode-launcher (Car Home Ultra, in my case) is shown, instead of the regular Touchwiz-launcher.
The problem: carmode can be triggered on the S6 (for example with Tasker), but it does not ask for the default carmode-launcher. When I open Car Home Ultra, it flips back to Touchwiz as soon as I press the home-button. Samsung's own Cardock-app, named "Car Mode" cán do this trick (opening at the press of the home-button when driving), but I do not like it due to limited capabilities.
Did anybody else get their Cardock-app to function as the default launcher when in Carmode?

Installed Octane Fitness App, Now Pressing on the Screen Doesn't Work. How to Fix?

I just installed the Octane Fitness App, Smartlink. After running it for a few minutes, it locked up. Now when I press on the screen for anything, it doesn't work. Only the hard buttons work. I tried rebooting, but it reloads this buggy app and then the same problem happens over again. Does anyone have any advice on how to get it to not load the app so I can uninstall it? Am I going to have to do a factory reset and if so, how do I do one on this tablet? I can't find info anywhere and Samsung support is utterly useless.
Thank you.
Factory reset:
Power Tablet Off
Press and hold: Home + Volume Up + Power until the recovery screen loads
Select Factory Reset and follow on-screen prompts
