What R&D mode does
1. sudo gainroot in the console can be used, without installing anything to gain a root shell.
2. The power button turns on the tablet with a shortpress press as opposed to the longpress normally required.
3. The keyboard backlight behind the left and right side of the keyboard flickers in response to system activity.
You can enable some R&D mode flags (flasher-3.5 --set-rd-flags=
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| no-omap-wd | Disables the watchdog on the OMAP processor. |
| no-retu-wd | Disables the watchdog on retu |
| 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. |
| no-usb-timeout | Unknown |
| sti-console | Unknown |
