Activation of dormant features in native applications

Non-transitory physical computer storage comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to implement a process comprising:

• receiving configuration information for configuring a physical computing device;
• receiving a first user input from a user of the physical computing device, the first user input comprising a motion component;
• in response to determining that the first user input matches a first activation input, listening for a second user input to the physical computing device using confirmation instructions of the computer-executable instructions;
• receiving the second user input from the user;
• and
• in response to determining, using the confirmation instructions, that the second user input matches a second activation input, displaying a configuration utility interface on a display of the physical computing device, the configuration utility interface configured to display information indicative of the configuration information.

A system for presenting information regarding elements of a host application, the system comprising:

• a memory configured to store a host application;
• and
• a hardware processor in communication with the memory, the hardware processor configured to:
• execute the host application,
• listen for a motion input,
• in response to determining that the motion input matches an expected motion input, listen for a user input received before an end of a timeout period, and
• in response to determining that the user input matches an activation input, invoke an operation module,
• wherein the expected motion input is different from the activation input.
