Missing / hidden features in settings (Advanced Mode) - Wileyfox Swift

I've noticed that there are a few features that exist in CyanogenMod that seem to be hidden/disabled/missing in CyanogenOS
For example, the option to edit the softkeys, or enable the keyboard cursor arrows.
Most curious is if you search for those options, they show up in the search results, you just can't see the options when you try and go there.
The option to enable them is hidden in About Phone - just turn on 'Advanced mode' and you'll get the extra goodies

Answering my own question - YES, there is an Advanced mode toggle - it's hiding in the About Phone page of settings.
Phew!

USB debugging settings menu
Hi. Just thought I would post this additional step that's needed to show the USB debugging options that most users might be looking for under the developer options:
The option to enable is hidden in Settings, About Phone - now just click 7 times on 'Build number' and you'll get the new menu item 'Developer options' under Settings, where you will find a host of additional settings! :good:

I'm seeing some of the goodies through search only. Advanced mode and developer mode are enabled.
The goodies I'm talking about -> Recent button double tap/tap and hold.

The "basic stuff" you listed are system settings, and you should not bother backing up & restoring any system app/data in TiBu, or you'll run into conflicts when you update your ROM.
The far easier solution is to just keep a checklist (textfile or mental) of the various system settings you want to personalize after a clean wipe rom install. Eventually it becomes a habit.
FWIW... here's my current CM10 settings checklist:
• Post-install system settings tweaks:
∘ WiFi > Advanced: Keep WiFi on during sleep > only when plugged in
∘ Display > Battery light: DISABLE
∘ Sounds:
‣ disable annoying system "screen lock sound " & "touch sounds"
‣ Volumes: unlink ringtone & notifications volumes
‣ Change default ringtone/notification & volumes & enable vibrate when ringing
‣ Quiet hours (12am-7am), and "Mute notifications" too
∘ Settings>Lockscreen
‣ Weather: enabled, imperial units
‣ Button actions: Long press Home button == FLASHLIGHT toggle
‣ Screen Security
• Delay after timeout: 1 minute (was 5s)
• Menu unlock: enabled (but not Home unlock, as it conflicts Home longpress == FLASHLIGHT)
∘ Settings>System>...
‣ StatusBar>Battery status style: circle with percentage
‣ Notification drawer>Widget button toggles: WiFi, Sound, LED flashlight, Orientation, lockscreen
‣ Power menu screenshot: enable
‣ Hardware keys: enable menukey longpress to launch GoogleNow (search assistant)
∘ Developer Options
‣ enable USB Debugging, Kill app with back button
‣ OPT: disable USB debugging notify
‣ Root access for "Apps and ADB"
∘ OPT: Camera: Change video default to 1080p (from 720)
∘ OPT: Security>Lock screen: setup facelock + pattern, delay screen lock, menubutton unlock for slider

Running the CM10 nightly and since I change roms often I just want to restore the basic settings, sound, screen, etc.
zmore has pretty much said it all, I'll keep that info saved.

[Q] ''Swipe up ring'' google search/ quickmemo

With the G2 you could swipe up from the button and acces quickmemo.
There's only a google search option with the G4, any way to change this?

Not that I've found. there are two other good options:
1) Add QuickMemo+ to your quick shortcuts in the notification panel
2) add a shortcut to your lock screen
This should work.
Settings > Apps > (Menu) Reset Default Apps
Clear whichever one it is, and redo the action and you should get an option to reassign + some other options
Mine gives me the option to call out a tasker task or greenify screen off+lock which is what I do so i can turn the screenoff even from a full screen app without using the button on the back.

Sounds bars (equalizer) in lockscreen

Hello everyone,
I'm running lineage os on a Xiaomi Mi5 (4gb RAM, 128 GB variant) and whenever I'm listening to audio, there are moving bars on the lockscreen, like a sort of equalizer.
This isn't a big deal as I don't see it for more than maybe a split second, but I'd still like to know if there is a way or an option to disable it.
Thanks for your feedback.
Forgot to add screenshot, sorry. The above mentioned bars are at the bottom.
You should be able to disable it by going to Settings -> press Search on top right -> type "Display music visualizer" -> Select the respective search result -> Use the toggle to disable
Settings - Security - Lockscreen (settings button)...

There is no quick launch option in the camera settings in the galaxy s9

I have seen the galaxy s9 camera has an option of a quick launch by double clicking the power button, and this can be enabled by the activating the quick launch option in the camera settings, however this option is no where available in my phone, is this an option disabled for the indian made phones ?
Regards,
Glenn
For me, it's the 5th option under Settings > Advanced Features > "Quick launch Camera"
But I guess the Indian version does not have that? here's some options from the S8, which might be similar: https://www.sammobile.com/news/indi...8-users-quick-launch-camera-always-on-display
A few other ideas to consider:
My favorite it use a custom launcher (such as Nova), and I set it so that if I swipe up anywhere on the home screens, it launches the camera.
Additionally, I did see an app that could remap the bixby hard key on the left to be any action or application you wanted, such as the Camera. I forget the name of this app, but I'm sure you can find it if you search for remapping the bixby button.
Thanks,
But could not find it under advanced features too
But with the thread you shared, im able to do it with the home button, it helps

Disable or Remove Digital Wellbeing

Hello all,
I have a Verizon version 3XL on Android 10. I have heard about people removing or disabling Digital Wellbeing, but I can't seem to do it on the device.
Does anyone know any ADB commands I can use to achieve this? Thank you!
Go to settings on your Pixel smartphone
Tap 'Digital Wellbeing' In the top right,
tap the three-dot icon
Tap 'Turn off usage access'
On the next screen toggle 'permit usage access' to off
