Settings - Finding Your Way Around and Searching It

Settings is laid out as named groups - General, Images, Video, Audio, Documents, Streams, Player, Destinations and more, plus a Launcher and Wear OS section on builds that carry them. Each group header is one animated chevron row with an optional summary of what is collapsed inside it, and whichever groups you leave open stay open the next time you visit. A screen reader announces a group as expanded or collapsed, the same way, everywhere it appears - in Settings, in source editors, in player panels and in dialogs.

On a wide screen or a tablet held sideways, collapsed groups lay out in two columns instead of one long column; open a group and it spans the full width again while you read it. Every group header and every feature toggle also carries a small monochrome icon of what it controls - images, video, audio, documents, streams, network sources, gestures, scheduled operations and more - so a group is recognizable at a glance even when its label is short.

Tap the search icon at the top of Settings to open a search overlay that matches any toggle or option by keyword, scrolls straight to it in the right group and highlights the row - instead of you opening group after group to hunt for it. In landscape the search button sits clear of the system navigation bar, so it opens the overlay instead of the row underneath it being dismissed by an accidental tap.

Whatever a row does, it follows one pattern: the value sits right next to the caption that names it, not stretched to the far edge of a wide or landscape screen, and adjacent rows in a block line up their values in one shared column sized to the longest caption. A row that opens a list of choices shows its selector arrow immediately after the text instead of a full-width stretch, and a simple value picker - a color, a size, a sort order - opens the same small tap-row-plus-list-dialog everywhere it appears, rather than a different pattern per screen. A dropdown row opens a modal option list that takes window focus, so you can walk the choices with a D-pad or arrow keys, confirm with Enter, and reach every option from a screen reader.

Not every setting is a row in this list. The launcher configuration, the edge-gesture zones, default-app registration and the camera capture and OCR overlays each keep their own settings in a dialog reached from a button or a long press, rather than as more rows here. The full picture - every row and every dialog-hosted setting, in English, Russian and Ukrainian - is one page away: the settings reference linked from the website lists what each one does, generated straight from the app so it never drifts out of date.

Changing Device profile says exactly how many settings it is about to overwrite, and a profile that changes nothing applies right away, with no confirmation to dismiss. A profile also seeds more than the obvious defaults: the reader's theme and layout, link-download behavior, player interaction, the Streams start-up view and, where the launcher ships, the desktop grid, taskbar and lock, so a car head unit, an e-reader or a photo frame starts out feeling different from a phone rather than identically. Whatever you change, the row updates the moment you pick a new value - it never flashes back to the old one for an instant while the write is still in flight.

Icon size for grid (pixels) and Sync interval (min), both in General, keep exactly what you type into them: the value commits when you leave the screen or press the keyboard's action key, not only when focus quietly moves away. A grid size off the valid step snaps to the nearest allowed size instead of being thrown out, and a typed sync interval snaps to the nearest whole hour, with the stored value written back into the field so you see what actually took effect.

Open Source Licenses opens without a stutter, and an entry with nothing to say never shows a stray blank line. Scheduled file operations, in Destinations, is a single link row that opens the standalone scheduled operations screen instead of embedding the whole card in Settings; an old widget shortcut to the embedded card is redirected there automatically. The destination pickers for downloaded files and for screenshots use the same label-plus-value-plus-Select button pattern as the camera and video folder pickers, and any of them can point at a plain local folder picked straight from the system folder browser - kept out of your general resource list, used only as a write target for capture, screenshots, snapshots and auto-downloads.

A wide-layout screen triggers by available width as well as by orientation, so a large, high-resolution phone held upright gets the roomier layout instead of everything crowding into the top-left corner. Confirm-and-cancel button pairs across Settings dialogs use the same named button styles everywhere, instead of a one-off style per dialog, and copying text anywhere in the app shows one consistently worded confirmation - on Android 13 and later no message is shown at all, because the system already shows its own clipboard preview. Rotating the device while a settings screen is closing, or right after it opens, is safe, and the edge-gesture configuration dialog keeps its layout and the zone you had selected when the device turns.
