[HOW TO] Enabe your phone's Development settings - Android General

As you might know, the Developer settings from your Smartphone has disappeared since your update to Jelly-Bean. Have they removed it? Yes. They thought it was too useful to the users and decided to remove it from the phone. Nah, instead, they have removed it from the Settings menu and placed it to the 'About Phone' section. It's not easy to figure out where it is. Here's how to get them back:
1. Go to the Settings menu and scroll down to 'About Phone.' Tap it.
2. Scroll down to the bottom again, and you'll see your phone's 'Build number.'
3.Tap it seven 7 times. You'll see a pop-up showing how far you are from enabling the Developer settings. Keep tapping, and you'll magically get your 'Developer Settings' back. Neat, isn't it?
If you don't know what it's used for, it would be best if you do not enable them.
Hope this helps!

Thanks. I've enabled performance options on 4.4.2 omni rom and now i can OC my CPU

Check if you already have the Developer Settings. What ROM are you using? Are you using any of the JellyBean or KitKat ROMs? If so, try the method I've posted. It SHOULD work, if you don't already have the Developer options on your >Settings page.

[Q] Re-hide dev options in 4.2?

Does anyone here know how to hide the developer options once you've unlocked them? I've searched Google and XDA with no luck. Any help will be appreciated.
BUMP! I'm wondering this too, Google should've made it so that retapping the Build Number removed dev options...and it could say "You are now an average joe."

If you already root and don't want to losing your settings just install root explorer..open it and navigate to data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/development.xml..edit and change value "true" to "false"..save and exit..then delete development.xml.bak..after that go to settings>apps>all>Settings..open it then force stop..then open Settings app to check it..voila! developer options disappeared!

Unfortunately no. That file has nothing in it on my device. :-\
Without root
You can achieve this by clearing setting app data.
Goto Settings -> Apps -> Slide3 left till you get to All -> scroll down to find Settings (about 3/4 the way down) -> touch Settings' -> Touch 'Clear Data'
This works for me.
You may need to disable debuggiing first because this may leave debugging enabled.

[XMOD] Re-enable the missing back button options

[Edit: This modification is now in my FREE MoDaCo Toolkit - details]
This modification uses the 'Xposed' system, which must be installed as detailed in this post.
This modification will restore the missing 'back button options' in the 'Settings -> Display, Gestures and Buttons' menu on your HTC One. As it is an Xposed mod, it should be ROM version independent.
To install...
Download and install the modification APK - DOWNLOAD
Enabled the module in 'Xposed Installer'
Reboot
Easy eh? More Xposed modules for the One will follow.
P
Works like a charm. Thanks Paul, great to have this feature enabled... To be honest I wonder why they disabled it from the review units. Who knows eh.
What are the missing back button options, may I ask?
The option to map long press back as menu, removing the black bar.
P
Ah, ok. Thank you

Sure, but this method should be rom version independent and is arguably easier to install once you have the Xposed framework.
Both have their merits!

I've also packaged my various xposed mods (with more to come) in a paid app on the Play Store. You can of course download them individually for free still!

Have you enabled the module in Xposed, and installed the Xposed binary from recovery as well as the installer APK (and hit install there)?
P
I too am looking for the button options, maybe I didn't read correctly?
What I have done:
I installed the Xposed installer, in the app I hit "install/update"
I flashed the ZIP in recovery (CWM)
I bought and installed the MoDaCo Toolkit app
I activated the module in Xposed
I activated the HTC One option to enable the button options
Now where exactly are those options? What subsection of settings and what is it supposed to be called? In the best case I've just overseen it, but I guess I need some advice on this case.
You need one last reboot there.
Then it appears in Settings -> Display, Gestures and Buttons...

hmmm ok ... i also noticed that its only sometimes that when i hold the back button the app simply closes ... hmm
edit : try facebook app ... i have to try three times till it works ... otherwise app closes !!!!!!
I have no luck it seems. I have done a correct installation and rebooted several times, also between simple steps. The module is active and everything and I now tried the option to disable the children mode function in the power menu. After a reboot this function is still visible.
My values:
HTC One from Vodafone Germany (driven by a T-Mobile card)
unlocked with HTC Dev (S-ON)
ROM: Android Revolution HD v3.3
other mods: Battery 1% mod
Anyone able to point in the direction of my mistake?

XDA automatically moved your question to a question & answer thread b/c you are a new user. Basically, on first boot up, you will need to enable developer settings, by going into settings & scrolling to the bottom. Select "about phone". Tap on "build number" rapidly until it says developer settings have been opened. Back back out into the normal settings menu and select developer options. In there, find the selection that controls root. Click on it and select "apps & adb". Then reboot and try root checker again. PM if you have any questions. XDA probably won't let you post in my main thread until you get like 10 posts or so.
