Getting "Developer options" back in the Android 4.2 settings menu

For some mad reason it's missing now but if you do the following you can get it back.

Go to "About Tablet", then tap "Build Number" 7 times and the menu option is back.

Now you can go back to compiling for Android with GLB!  ;)
Cheers,

That sounds like how to unlock cheat mode in Mortal Kombat back when I was a kid.  :D Thanks for the heads up.

I did this and got the 'x steps away from being a developer' message, etc. For some reason I was installing to my Nexus 7 with Android 4.2 before dev mode was on just fine. Have no idea why.

thank you BigSoft !!! I recently upgraded to 4.2.x and I could not find this mode that seemed to have been overshadowed by v4.2
