specify/limit enabled input methods (alternate keyboards)

Control cell broadcasts like amber and weather alerts

Suppress or limit various Google system prompts or provide a way to set the item to avoid the prompt.  eg., Google Play Protect, Location High Accuracy, etc.

Disable GPP or provide the ability to whitelist apps from GPP scans

Set the screen orientation and whether rotation is enabled or not. 

Set the Host name that is observable from the network infrastructure. 

Disable animations

Enable the battery percentage indicator

Disable prompting end users to enable Low Power Mode

Point might be somewhat moot if most of these are not available even if enabled but...

From the previous thread, not sure if this is a SOTI or if Zebra can just provide it in MX, but how about:

grant android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission silently?

Disable Captive Portal Detection

(writesecuresetting -sec captive_portal_detection_enabled 0 OR writesecuresetting -glo captive_portal_mode 0)

Set Brightness

(writesecuresetting -sys screen_brightness_mode 0 AND writesecuresetting -sys screen_auto_brightness_adj 1.0)

Set Lock screen preferences

(writesecuresetting -sec lock_screen_show_notifications 0)

Set Show Passwords

(writesecuresetting -sys show_password 0)

Set Assist App

(writesecuresetting -sec assistant APP_ACTIVTIY)

Enable Input Methods and Set Default Input Method

(writesecuresetting -sec enabled_input_methods AND writesecuresetting -sec default_input_method)

Keyboard Setting for Zebra ET5x Tablet

writesecuresetting -sec show_ime_with_hard_keyboard 1

Set picture of Background/Lockscreen

Lockscreen-Configuration (Enable/Disable Phone/Camera-Button)

Enable Input Methods and Set Default Input Method

(writesecuresetting -sec enabled_input_methods AND writesecuresetting -sec default_input_method)

Set Default Input Method is already available via the MX UIManager, just limiting the enabled ones is not.

Keyboard Setting for Zebra ET5x Tablet

writesecuresetting -sec show_ime_with_hard_keyboard 1

I think this is available since MX8 in UI Manager:ShowVirtualKeyBoard

Set Show Passwords

(writesecuresetting -sys show_password 0)

Covered by UIMgr as of MX 9.2

This topic does only make sense, as if Zebra will add the MX to all/most devices.

For e.g. (writesecuresetting -sys show_password 0) is available as Matt Dermody said but the Zebra TC51 doesn't got this MX-Version yet... so aren't able to use it.

I think on the whole Zebra does a relatively decent job in getting the MX versions updated across the product line.  The latest available for the TC51/56 is 9.0.4.3.  The referenced password item is actually supported beginning in MX9.1 (assuming you're also on OS v8) so I suspect it will be available in the next Lifeguard update or so.

Also keep in mind that some configuration options may only be possible in minimum versions of Android as well, which is what the OSX sub-distinction is supposed to indicate. A device like a WT6000 which is limited to the N or a TC8000 which is limited to L may not support a particular MX feature because they don't have the right OSX level, even if they are at the minimum MX level.

Disable Captive Portal Detection

(writesecuresetting -sec captive_portal_detection_enabled 0 OR writesecuresetting -glo captive_portal_mode 0)

Available since MX 9.1 (WifiMgr)

Disable Captive Portal Detection

(writesecuresetting -sec captive_portal_detection_enabled 0 OR writesecuresetting -glo captive_portal_mode 0)

 Available since MX 9.1 (WifiMgr)

Where did you see it was MX9.1? It is showing as MX7.0 on the Zebra site. I ran it on a 7.1.2 OS and it processed without errors, but also didn't change the icon state.  I'll ask about it

Sorry, my mistake: MX7.0. The settings is working fine for us (Android 9.0 / 02-11-01.00-PG-U06-STD)
