You can enable the R&D mode by passing the "--enable-rd-mode" to flasher.
What R&D Mode does
- "sudo gainroot" in the console can be used, without installing anything extra, to gain a root shell.
- The power button turns on the tablet with one press, as opposed to the usual behaviour where you have to hold the power button for the tablet to power up.
Seperator
you can enable some R&D mode flags (flasher --set-rd-flags) for various features:
"no-lifeguard-reset" disables the lifeguard process (lifeguard reboots the device when an important system process crashes)
"serial-console" enables the serial console (the serial port pins are next to the battery) and causes a shorter battery life
