How can I activate developer options on Tab Ultra C?

[Gormagon]

Hello,

I recently received my Tab Ultra C. But if I klick on the Build Number in Settings -> System Settings -> System Update again and again et cetera nothing happens. I will not gain developer status. On my Meebook P78 Pro this worked like a charm, though.

Does anyone know how, if at all, I can see the Andoid developer options on the Tab Ultra C? Some adb command may do as well. Luckily one can activate the USB debug mode with just a klick on the Tab Ultra C.

How can I activate developer options on Tab Ultra C?

Thanks ottischwenk,

That launcher (I installed Version 1.2 ICS though) shows me the developer options without tapping on the build number (or my previous tapping already had an effect but the Onyx layer had not shown it).
So I was actually able to select aptX for my BT headphone, but not aptX adaptive although my headphones support this codec. I tried it with two different models. Looks like the Tab Ultra C does not support this audio codec.

Unfortunately the developer options will not appear when I switch back to the Onyx launcher. I was rather looking for a permanent solution with the Onyx launcher since after my first impression I do not dislike this one but although it obviously lacks some things.

After something is set, it is retained even when you change the launcher.

I found it silly that Onyx more or less blocked or hid the existence of the real Android settings app... so I made a Tasker App Factory app that does nothing but open the Settings app. (where you can get to Developer options)

Unfortunately the Tasker App Factory does not create small APKs... but it does open very quickly, so I guess I can't complain.

If you want to use it, rename the extension from .zip to .apk...

On Leaf2 with Onyx Launcher you can execute standard Android settings:
Apps Tab -> (Hamburger menu) -> App Management -> App Info -> (All Apps) -> Settings -> Open

Then in Settings:
About tablet -> click multiple times at "Build number"

Again in Settings:
System -> Developer options

Useful! Thanks for sharing.

The following attachment (renaming zip to apk) can also be used to start Android Settings and is 52 times smaller.
It only contains the following words in Kotlin:

   override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        startActivity(Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS))
        exitProcess(0)
    }
