Alternative method for poening Sysyem UI Tuner?

[AC Question]

Hello people cleverer than me!

I have a Sharp ZETA (on Docomo Japan) with Android Nougat, and I want to access the System UI Tuner.

Unfortunately either Sharp or Docomo has hijacked the long press on the gear icon with a useless "Secret Mode "feature"" so it is stopping the normal route of accessing UI Tuner.

Is there an alternative method of opening up the UI Tuner?

Many thanks.

Anton

Welcome to the forums. I am under the impression that if the OEM disabled the UI tuner in the ROM, it can't be used.

OP here.

Sorry about the typo.

Golfdriver: I understand. thank you.

This is a really locked up phone. It has taken me a week to find a dialer and phonebook that will work without transfering over to the (horrible) stock apps everytime.

Is everything working the way you want to?
