[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.

Wrong section to post in, this should of gone in general or g&a. But to answer, disable halo (double tap and drag to top to remove) and then try to install your apps.

Help-Index
Battery
Battery at is quite OK for this state of development, but anyway it's a light version which only should give a preview of next Android 5.0
Problems with battery could be for extreme battery drain.
In this case:
- Check if specific app occurs this!
- reboot system
- wait a next full charge
- reflash if nothing helps
Busybox
The standard Busybox isn't working with Android L on this state.
But u can use another one which works fine:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete
Camera
Problems could be crashes, freezes, black screens or reboots.
If u have camera problems u can try different things:
- delete data of camera app
- uninstall updates if camera app
- extract camera apk from rom and replace it
- change any settings like picture or video resolution in camera
- deactivate NuPlayer option in Developer Options
Crashing App(s)
some apps still don't work. Problem could be that it's not supporting ART or it requires root which isn't working fine, because the developer of apps have to update their binaries.
Extended Bootmenu
There is no extended Bootmenu, but can use an app doing exactly the same:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tyler.rebootmenuwidget
Flash
Problems could be errors while flashing, bootloop or systemUI FCs.
Problems relating to flash mostly occurs because not following the correct flash way:
- Check if /system is unmounted
- Fullwipe (wipe data, caches, system)
- Flash Rom.zip
- Flash SU.zip
- Reboot
If anyway problems, u can only try it again or change for example once between mounted and unmounted, so that this becomes set again.
Gapps
There r no Gapps for Android L.
Alls Gapps included in Stock.
Location
This state of release has a bug which only except location off or on.
The battery saving mode can be set, but would be set to on after getting back to it.
MMS/SMS
Problems could be, that both won't work at all or just sending or receiving of one.
U have to check ur provider APN settings and update/edit them.
(most T-Mobile and Sprint)
Root
U maybe don't have root.
To become a rooted device just flash the modified Superuser.zip from OP.
Screencast
At this state of release this function is implemented, but doesn't work!
Standard chromecast is working fine.
SystemUI
Problems could be FCs of SystemUI.
If u have problems while phone is charging (depends of battery level),
unplug the USB cable, restart SystemUI and then re-plug the usb cable.
Like here.
If u have other or still problems, look into Flash then.
Tethering
Problems could be, that SSID is visible but connection won't be successful.
U have to change the Password one time, after that it's working as usual.
Titanium Backup
For a working Titanium Backup u have to use the official Beta, as the standard release won't run at all.
Upgrade
Flashing LPX13D over KTU84P with non-wipe (removing -w from the flash-all file) renders the home button inopperable.
==> FIX: Running :- adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
VPN
Connections are successful, but routing isn't.
This is still a developer preview and surly get fixed in next release(s).
Xposed
Xposed doesn't work in Android L!!!
Android L only running ART but Xposed doesn't support it.
PS: If any question r already answered here, just link this post in answer!
PPS: If anything wrong, more to add or to change, please note here:

The preview was working fine, but after that I restarted the device, it crashes after 10 seconds back into the boot animation. It does so infinitely, just keeps playing the boot animation, starting, and then crashing again. Any ideas on how to fix?

Come on, it's a preview version. Re-flash it or better yet flash 4.4.4 and wait until it's a real release. It's for developers not the general population.

Hey, thanks for the advice. You or anyone else viewing this thread may be interested to know that the issue did not occur in safe mode, and I've been able to nail down that the problem is caused by Lightflow. After uninstalling that app, the loop has ceased.
If anyone else has my above issue, try picking off apps that may not be compatible with L yet.

Going to put this out there - this is a developer preview, NOT a consumer release. If you don't know how to flash it with fastboot, then honestly it isn't for someone like you.

So... is SuperSU working? Or any root method?

Has anyone had the issue where the SD Card is unreadable by any app, including Google ones?

It's being talked about in some of the threads in the Development section. It works, but also requires a boot.img flash. I don't think it's available yet though.

Does anyone's android look like this?

VOIP Settings
Internet call settings apparently are not working for me. I attempted to add in Callcentric information in the internet call settings and I am not getting a ring from the server. Is this working for anyone else?
T-Mobile

I'm not able to flash back to 4.4 now it seems. It worked fine to flash L of course, but now all of a sudden fastboot commands seem to not work for me. Adb is fine but won't recognize fastboot

I can't read into folders on my SD card when using the preview as a secondary rom on multi ROM. The folders are there but nothing appears to be inside. This was first noticed in the photos app, then in camera, finally in es file explorer.

bootloop
I am on multirom as secondary rom. It worked fine at first boot, but when i tried to reboot the device this morning, it went stuck on bootanimation. Does it depend on multirom? I heard other forum members have the same problem but nobody answered...

Yep even if I don't see if OP uses a modified boot.img.

With the latest Rom (18 Oct) I just flashed supersu. Boot image seems to be compliant.

Maybe try freezing with TB or app manager in settings

That option does not function at all and will be removed from the next update.

Actually, the top 3 choices in that menu as picture by @rickberg do not work and will be removed.

Yeah... when I change the option, it does nothing, even after UI restart. Good to know it will be fixed. not a fan of 3Minit.

I have a quick question. How do I go about flashing this if I wipe internal storage it will delete the file and I don't have an OTG device? Also does this rom automatically root the phone?

Delete
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Don't need to pre-root. Just flash custom recovery, full wipe except internal storage and flash the rom. Follow instructions closely if coming from stock.

Still, if having any issues once the custom Rom is running, you can then boot back into recovery and wipe internal storage then.

Sweet. .sorry for the misunderstanding, I thought we had to root first. .

It wouldn't hurt, but an extra step that isn't really necessary. I'm sure we're going to get enough confused folks through here that have never been on a custom Rom. :sly:
