Like many of you, I have upgraded my tablet to the rockin' 3245 firmware and rooted it with UniversalAndroot. My tablet, though, has no functional GPS (that I can see), so I usually have mock locations enabled so it can use either my default location on Google Maps or I can use one of several location spoofing apps from the Android Market. With 3245 locking out the "Development" options, however, this was impossible and it thought I was somewhere in China (no offense to China, but it doesn't help me at all). It was making me mad and I wasted 2-3 hours last night trying to hack the properties. Then, after a little sleep, it dawned on me what to try and it worked! Here are the steps I took, but you might be able to do it with other launchers, I'm not sure:
- With LauncherPro installed & running (use something like "Home Switcher" to run LauncherPro w/o making it the default if you like), long tap on a blank area of a home screen to bring up the "add" menu
- Tap "Shortcuts"
- Scroll down & tap "Activities"
- (A blank screen may appear for 20+ seconds while it builds your list of available apps and activities they make available)
- Scroll down to "Settings" and tap to expand it
- Find "Development" and tap it (note: the list under "Settings" is NOT alphabetical, so keep scrolling until you find "Development")
- Name the shortcut whatever you like (or leave it as "Development") and tap OK
- Viola! Tap the new icon, turn on any of the three options you want and reboot for confirmation that they "stick"
