Pretty much just paying forward the help I received over the years. We all started as newbies.

I don't understand programming. Who would remove the launch buttons and then not remove the programs they launch? Is there no benefit from minimizing the code?

Perhaps they didn't yet add the GUI "buttons", or have not yet removed the code (in case something is using bits of it).

In my experience of managing programmers, a few of them don't much understand it either. Some managers are also a problem.

Minimizing code? Once MS had a hidden Flight Simulator in a version of Excel!

Thank you, DNSB! Another reason to install NickelMenu!

We were all newbies once.

devmodeon search from the Home screen turns dev mode on

I've tried that, and I get a search page with a pulldown menu (Kobo Store, Dictionary, etc.) but don't get devmode.

Am I doing something wrong?

On the search screen, type "devmodeon" without the quotes in the search box. Then tap the magnifying glass icon to do the search. The search will not return any results but you should now see Developer Options at the bottom of the Device Information page. I generally do the search on My Books but I think it will work on any of the search options.

Thank you!

I don't usually 'mess around' with my devices, so it's nice to have the advice of those with more expertise.
