I just updated my 6" BNRV1100 to 8.1.4.95
I can toggle "Developer options" and "USB debugging" at will.
Can anyone can tell me how to disallow this?

Are you saying you don't need a password after all?

I turn off "USB debugging", I turn off "Developer options"
I reboot
I turn on "Developer options", I turn on "USB debugging"
It works fine.
There is the standard popup asking me if I really want to.

If somebody has a screenshot of when it's asking for a password.

What/where is this "diagnostic app"?

Aren't you doing this from the stock Settings?
If you can't reach there from B&N land, just:
Install a terminal program
Code:
am start -n com.android.settings/.Settings

I think the password is only implemented for android developement settings in the diagnostic tool. Attached is the screenshot of the locked android development settings.

You can do a factory reset in 8.1.4.95 to access the diagnostic tool again. Or perhaps invoke the "Welcome" activity to access that?

Just tried:
Code:
# am start com.nook.partner/.oobe.WelcomeScreenActivity
I can access the EasterEggAcitvity with repeated left-right tapping, so with
Code:
# am start com.nook.partner/.EasterEggActivity
I can access the easter egg activity -> diagnostic -> android development setting.
However my GL4 is current on 8.1.4.88, the screenshot was taken before while I was expeimenting downgrades.

Once you gain access into the Android system, the password is not there.

Thank you. Any idea which apk this is in?
It doesn't appear to be in nookPartner or nookdemo.

I have no idea.
The processes before starting EasterEggActiviy and after invoking diagnotic are identical.

For someone who is (more than) a bit dense, is this the needed password?

Yup, that's the secret password for the BNRV1100.

So I assume the pattern applies to other models as well. Can someoen with 4e and 4 plus confirm this?

I was reading reviews of the 4e (BNRV1000, amelie).
If you don't use the buttons you have to swipe to turn pages?
Seriously, is there anyone who wants to swipe through an entire book?
What's the matter with tap if it you aren't using buttons?

Someone also said that it doesn't just open to the book that you were reading?

Does any B&N model have an auto-sleep cover that just opens to where you were?

I haven't looked into it much, but my BNRV1100 wakes up with the home button and then you have to swipe at the bottom to open it, despite my security in Settings being "none".
