Just thought I would cross post here, but I found some hidden settings that I didn't see elsewhere, other than the Access Lock (AppOps)
Here's the Reddit post I made:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3em28o/two_hidden_setting_menus/
EDIT:
http://i.imgur.com/c5DYfg0.png
I went through and tested a bunch of settings and these are what I came up with. This list isn't exhaustive though, as I left out the screen display mentioned in comments as it doesn't seem to work, and I also left out ones related to hardware and capacitive buttons we don't have.
There is also a couple redundant ones there. The Usage Activity Monitors are kind of nifty.
The one I find the most interesting is:
com.android.settings.Settings$ScreenCaptureAreaActivity
As described below, lets you choose to capture the status bar and navigation buttons in your screenshots. Very nifty.
---ORIGINAL POST---
Howdy.
I noticed there's a method for getting Access Lock (AppOps) without root by making a shortcut. (I used QuickShortcutMaker from Play Store, but you may be able to do it with an alternative launcher like Nova)
While I was doing that I fiddled with a few other things I found and I came out with two other hidden setting menus. Though not mind-blowing, I found one of them to be a little useful.
First one is under Settings -> One-Handed Operation. Seems that was available on the G3 but removed by LG for this model. I don't find it too useful as I use knock codes so the pin one doesn't matter, and the dialler option can be accessed in the dialler itself.
The second one, which I find a little more useful, is the Screenshot Settings. It's under Settings -> Screen capture area. When you access this menu you can decide if you want your screencaps to include the navigation buttons and status bar (default), or not. It's a lot nicer taking shots without those areas, so a pretty neat little feature.
Cheers

To anyone that's looking for the hidden menu's on these things and having no luck via google, and is unable to launch the hidden menu's due to permission errors and force closes, I figured them out.
Enter the code you want into the dialer. Substitute any xxx's by the model number. For VS986 that would be 986. If asked for a service code enter six zeros. That's "000000".

For the H812, I found that many of the previously posted hidden setting codes did nothing when I punched them into the dialer. I was also unable to launch the hidden menus by creating shortcuts, I kept getting an error that the com.lge.permission.LGHIDDEN permission was required.
In the end, I was able to open the hidden settings menus by using this command in a shell with root access:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.lge.hiddenmenu/className (for example: com.lge.hiddenmenu/.HiddenMenu)
I used the Activity Launcher app to get a list of all the com.lge.hiddenmenu classes. There wasn't much in any of them that I found very useful, but it was fun looking.

Since the Permission thing might be a common problem, I built Root capability into ActivityLauncher. ActivityLauncher will now try without root, and if it fails, it will try the root console command.

For pattern lock: Settings > Location & Security > Security Lock
From there you can do a passcode or the pattern. I personally use pattern because it can replace the slide to unlock all together while keeping it secure.
I got the pattern lock....but what about adding a note or your personal contact information, thats whats missing...thanks
If there is a way, I haven't found it. I know you can do it on rooted devices, depending on how the rom is set up, but as far as the droid x, I haven't seen a way to do it. You can download an app from the market that will call your phone if you lose it. Also there are apps that will find your phone on GPS. I know this isn't really what your wanting to do, but it will help you if it gets lost.
after many hours on the net I found the answer. you get this by installing the antivirus program from the apps market. you change the "this phone belongs to:" by going to the antivirus program and pressing the menu button form there go to settings, then remote management and finely lost message. you can change the whole message

That's just specific to that app. There is no way on the stock rom to set this information you are looking for. Just add a contact called Me to your contact list. That way if you lose the phone, somebody may call you (If they don't keep the phone)

Too much work for something too small I think.
One way is to update your wallpaper image to have the text you want (using your favorite image editor). Of course then it'll show on the normal home/launcher as well. But a short "Belongs to John Doe, (555) 555-5555" towards the bottom-center should work.
just found WidgetLocker Lockscreen. I havent tried it yet but I guess you can put widgets on the lock screens so I can put a note there with all this information...worth a try
Hi I just got a Nexus 6p and its been great but I have low vision and if I keep the option turned on the phone, it becomes very laggy so I would like to only use it when I need to.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you .
This isn't exactly what you wanted, but it's kind of close...
I use ADW as my launcher, which allows me to set custom shortcuts on my home screen. Other launchers might offer the same functionality.
I long pressed on my home screen and selected the Add tab on the popup. I then tapped Custom Shortcut, and tapped "Pick your activity." Next, I tapped Activities, scrolled down to Settings and expanded the list. It's rather long, but in that list there is one called "Accessibility(.Settings$AccessibilitySettingsActivity)". I selected that one, gave it a name (what it displays under the icon), and pressed OK. This created a settings gear icon on my home screen that when tapped goes straight to the accessibility options in the settings menu, and then you can tap the toggle for Magnification.
Alternatively, you should be able to do the same thing with Tasker if you have it installed and it's a bit easier. Make a new Task, give it a title (anything) and press the plus to add a step. Select Settings, then Accessibility settings (first option). There is some "if" options, but you can just tap your back button to go back to the step list. Create a widget for Tasker (1x1 task) and select the name of the task you just created. You then need to select an icon for the "widget" by tapping the icon in the lower right that looks like 9 squares in a grid. There are a bunch of built in icons you can choose from, or use your own. The result will be an icon on your desktop that goes to the accessibility options screen, allowing you to quickly toggle the magnification gesture.
Again, sorry this isn't exactly what you asked for, but it would save some taps. Luckily the mag gesture toggle is high enough in the list of options that it should always be on the screen when you open the accessibility settings, so you won't need to scroll.
Lastly, if you are rooted, you could use Tasker to also hit the toggle for you. If you want instructions for that, please do let me know and I'd be happy to share how to do that. It would allow you to tap the "widget" and it would then launch the accessibility settings, wait a second and then tap the toggle, and go back to the home screen. That way you wouldn't need to toggle it yourself.

Thanks a lot!
So it sounds like theres no way to make a widget the will toggle it specifically, without rooting my device.
And if I do root it and use Tasker it will take almost the same time as if I didn't.
If thats no other way then I guess I should root it even though Id prefer not too.
Unless theres another way, Instructions would be great! Thanks again!
Are you familiar with Tasker? It's a paid app, but it's absolutely worth it and you'll find lots of uses for it. I use it to auto reply to text messages while I'm driving, mute my phone when I'm at work (calendar based) turn on wifi when I'm at home (location based), etc.
First thing you need to do is find the location of the toggle on the screen. Go to Developer Settings and turn on "Show Pointer Location". This will make a gray bar at the top of your screen that lists your X and Y coordinates at the top when you are touching the screen. Go to the accessibility settings and touch the toggle, taking note of what the X and Y coordinates are for that touch input.
To simulate touch input, can make a task that opens the accessibility settings as I described above, then add a "wait" command (Task > Wait), enter a value of 1 second. Next enter a command for Code and select Run Shell. Under the command, type "input tap x y" where x and y are the x and y coordinates that you found for the toggle. Make sure the "use root" box is checked. Lastly, add a Tasker command to go to the home screen (back to where you started with the "widget").
Back all the way out of Tasker to save that task, then go back in and press the play button at the bottom left side to test your setup. You should see it launch the accessibility settings, wait a second, toggle, and go home. The first time you run it you will need to grant Tasker root permissions, so be ready for that. If you're not quick to approve it, the task may proceed and go to your home screen before you press approve, so you might need to run it again a second time after you approve it.
If you need more help with, or have any questions, please do let me know. Happy to help.

Have you used the built in magnification gesture? You turn it on in accessibility settings, then when you need something to be bigger, just tap the screen 3 times rapidly. You can use pinch to zoom to adjust the text size. When you're finished with it, tap the screen 3 times again. I use it when an app's text is just too small.

Haha Yes I have tried it you have to tap your finger 3 times to magnify which means every time you tap something once it waits to see if you will tap more times and cause slight lag.

Lol I was so excited for my new phone I never checked but I found it !
Thanks I will root it when I get the chance.
i have the same exact problem,i absolutely love the feature as i wouldn't be able to use any phone with out it but it also gets frustrating sometimes (the touch delay) for example in the dialer app or Instagram.
a toggle in the notification panel would be great or an app through which you specifically enable/disable the gestures for each individual app.
any other alternative would be appreciated, somebody posted the same issue here with a possible fix (which i am not exactly sure how to implement) https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39685

Nice to know I'm not the only one.
Sorry for the late reply been busy with school. It would be nice to have this option maybe like a button shortcut .
Hey guys so that way of using tasker is very slow and not feasible.
Is there any other way of making a quick toggle magnification gestures. It would be nice if I could hold the menu button to enable it. (IPhone tripple tap home button to toggle)
Thanks again.
I have low vision as well and have also found that leaving the magnification gesture turned on causes the phone to be laggy even when I don't actually have the magnification turned on. Instead of using that, I rooted my phone, changed the global DPI and I use App Settings (an Xposed module) to increase the font size in some apps or force the standard DPI in apps that have issues with the custom one.
There's a gestural workaround I've employed: if instead of just putting down my finger I drag my finger slightly (in any direction) then the lag almost disappears. Doing this helps a lot but obviously its a bit of an awkward gesture.

There's no set up. I just do that gesture to get the scrolling to stop when I have magnification enabled.

I don't know about anyone else, but this is my first MIUI phone.
I thought it would be useful to start a thread regarding MIUI notes/tips/etc that are specific to MIUI.
The first big one of course - how to fix push notifications:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/...ions-on-xiaomis-miui-8-for-real/#11f834174e1b
I was about to start this very thread
I found a cool feature
You can select several photos for deleting by simply gliding your fingers over the photos
Another cool feature
You can orient that device do that it's upside
The top bezel-less becomes downwards.
The phone is also programmed to rotate it to the standard orientation during a phone call because of Mic location.
One thing I quite like is how specific WIFI connects can be disabled without having to remove them.
Our work WIFI blocks certain things, so it's nice to be able to disable it but not have
to totally remove it (and then reenter all the passwords when I re-enter it).

For each WIFI connection, there is a little > to the right of it.
If you touch that you go into another menu, and one option is 'auto connect on/off'.
Turning off autoconnect helps in situations where there are multiple WIFI signals, but you only want it autoconnecting to a specific one.

That's actually a primitive way of doing it.
Samsung did it better by letting you 'peek' one-handedly with a simple swipe down of the notification.
With mi mix, I have to use two hands. I can do it with one hand but it's tough.

Perhaps there's a solution if you root/install Xposed & a module is available for lockscreen options.
I'm rooted,but, haven't used Xposed in ages, considering trying it again......
On Samsung devices,(non-root) Ad Blocking apps have a persistent notification on the lockscreen that cannot be swiped away,.The only remedy for this was to turn off the ad blocking.

Those are uninstallable I guess (as Mi earns from these apps and not selling the phone), few rubbish were uninstalled using this method.
I should be able to disable them though
Apparently not
Some more MIUI notes:
menu + volume down = screenshot
hardware test: dial *#*#6484#*#*
More phone info: dial *#*#4636#*#*
There is a toggle to disable the navigation buttons (double tap them to re-enable)
handy if you keep accidentally hitting them.
in 'buttons' can auto disable for any particular app (games)
In accessibility there is a magnification mode - triple tap to allow/disable zooming of screen. (EDIT: it's bugged - it isn't supposed to trigger during keyboard typing,but it does, effectively making it useless)
wake with volume buttons is in lockscreen menu, not "button"
There are some apps that just won't stay uninstalled. Anyone got idea how to remove them? PPTV for example

Most, task changer will be available at later date (I guess when they release the version for S10, right now it's not supported). The multiwindow extension (multistar) is bringing back:
1) swipe from corner to pop-out
2) the menu between two split screened apps
3) two apps running at the same time, that way your game won't be paused when you open browser/viber/something from the gametools menu
Hope they bring back easier way to fast split screen tho as right now if I wan't to split screen the current app (in my use case mostly youtube) it will pause the video + when you call recents it always auto move to the previous app, so I need to swipe, then press the icon, then split screen, then the other app I want, then resume video... too much time needed vs the previous "hold, select app - done, no video pausing, no waiting, no nothing". Maybe when recent task changes is released we will get something... we will see. For now we got atleast some of the functionality back.
Task Changer was available for me, but Routines gives me an error saying "Product is not available in this store." (I'm in Canada).
Neither Task changer nor Routine were available for me but installed, and are working fine, from apkmirror

Routines is not showing at all in Good Lock. I even side loaded it and it will not show up.
Task changer/routines is also available now. If side loaded, the "good lock" app will give network error and will not work. You should create a shortcut for every plugin via "activity manager, shortcut maker app of some kind". Then open them directly. For the task changer, if you change it to one of the alternatives - it will let you hold a card to split screen or pop-out + when you open recents it will NOT pause your activity like playing youtube or playing a game, that way you can pop-out something without pausing anything or split screen with youtube while it's playing - really a nice one.

Like what? Haven't noticed any so far.
For people with region not supported, the vpn trick still fully work. First, uninstall if you are sideloaded the app. Next, eject your sim n reboot. Connect to wifi and use vpn to US like tunnelbear. Go to app info of galaxy store and clear data. Open the galaxy store and update/install latest good lock. Open good lock and update all the apps. Then you can reinsert sim card and turn off vpn while setting up the apps
"App is no longer available" is all I get...
Does anyone else drop the colors in Quickstar? They seem to disappear randomly and I gave to reapply them. It's quite annoying.

Can you please let me know how you did this? I'm looking and can't seem to figure it out.
and nevermind. I found it too.
I was having trouble with an app (Android Auto) so I disabled it, which I shouldn't have, because it hid the app on my screen. As a result, the app no longer functions with my car.
Can somebody please tell me how to UNHIDE the app? I have watched 20 YouTube videos on how to unhide apps, unfortunately, they all show things that I do not have on my version of Android 10.
Thank you!

Should be pretty simple and standard... I am assuming you are running stock A10 - if not, the names of the options in Settings may be a bit different, but the idea is still the same. Go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> App Info. Above the app list there is a dropdown - make sure "ALL APPS" is selected, so both enabled and disabled apps are listed. You should see the Android Auto on the list below, marked as "Disabled". Tap on it - it will open the app details, then hit "Enable". That's all.

Thanks, but I did all of that! I see Android Auto on the list, but it is not marked as "Disabled." When I click on it, it appears as Enabled in the app details.
However, that's not the problem. The problem is that the app is hidden from my Home Screen. So, in order for me to access it, I have to go into the Settings, etc., etc.
Is there a way to UNHIDE the app so it appears on my Home Screen? Thanks.
PS: I am running stock Android 10.

This is now normal behavior for android auto, the app is hidden and will only show in your car when you connect to your car (as far as I know there is no way to use it on your phone like the older versions), even if you add a shortcut to homescreen it will only allow access to the settings screen (I assume).
If it's not working with your car, go to settings>apps>android auto>storage> and then clear storage to reset everything. While there check it has all permissions granted.
If you want to use AA on your phone maybe consider sideloading an old version (from a reputable store like F-Droid) which still worked from the handset.
