[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffsf:
I'm seeing this on a synced-today (Jan 21) version of the OmniROM tree on another device. Did you track this down any further?

Thanks!

Edit

I've tracked this down to packages/apps/Settings/res/xml$ git blame security_settings_pattern.xml

3c6f8542 (crondog 2013-12-09 13:46:35 +1100 49) <CheckBoxPreference

3c6f8542 (crondog 2013-12-09 13:46:35 +1100 54)

git revert 3c6f8542 at least lets you access the panel, even if it disables the new preference.
