Hi, if anyone has tried to do anything useful with stock (non-Linaro) 4.2, you'll probably have noticed the "Developer options" item in Settings is gone, and adb is disabled by default, with no obvious way to turn it on.
There's a way to get it back though (but it seems to be hidden to anyone who doesn't read the source): Open Settings > About phone (or About tablet), then tap the Build number entry 7 times. After that, "Developer options" will be back and you can turn on adb.

That's interesting. Does it set a build prop? Can we set that in all the builds during boot up?

Our builds aren't affected by this because we use TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng anyway. The misfeature happens with TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=user. (Not sure whether or not TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=userdebug is affected as well).

Gotcha. Thanks for the email and clarification. Want to cross post to android-platform?
