Google Apps Device Policy for Android application enforces policies on your Android device that protect it should it get lost or stolen. Once you install this application on your Android, your administrator can set up security measures such as password protection so only you can sign in. And the device can be wiped remotely if you lose it.
Uninstall Google Apps Device Policy
There are two ways to uninstall Google Apps Device Policy. The easisest is to unregister all accounts associated with the Device Policy app and then uninstall the app. To do this, follow these steps:
On your Android device, open the Device Policy app and press Unregister on the Status screen for each account you have registered with the device.
Exit the Device Policy app and on your Android, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and select the Device Policy app.
Press Uninstall and OK to remove the application.
Alternatively, you can uninstall Google Apps Device Policy by following these steps:
On your Android device, go to Settings > Security.
Press Select device administrators.
Uncheck Google Apps Device Policy.
Press Deactivate and OK.
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and select the Device Policy app.
Press Uninstall and OK to remove the application.
If your Google Apps administrator is enforcing device policies on your device, when you uninstall Device Policy, your device will stop syncing with your Google Apps account.

What is Device administrator? and how do i add one?
What is Device administrator? and how do i add one?
what context?
Settings > Location&Security settings > Device administration
It's for full exchange security support.
Device administrator is a special permission that users may grant to programs that asks for it. When granted, a program may do all sort of things like wiping and reading personal data without the need to root your device. WaveSecure is an example of a program that may be granted admin access.
Android Device Manager
Here is how to get your Gear to appear in Android Device Manager (null_ rom only) You'll need to have setup Google account on Gear and tick to show in menus via PlayStore on web(https://play.google.com/settings) 1. Open Google Settings 2. Select Android Device Manager 3. Uncheck 'Allow remote factory reset' 4. Go to main Settings menu, then select Apps > All > Google Play services 5. Select 'Clear Data' button. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data 6. Go back to Google Settings and select 'Allow remote factory reset' 7. Restart You won't get location obviously, but the rest works
Can't remove apps from Device administration [CM7.2 2013.10.28.2353-N1 KANG]
Hello. The problem is that after I deactivate some application in the Device administration, after rebooting the applicatioan is granted for permissions again. I also tried to stop these applications before removing from Device administration, but it does not solve the problem. Phone: Google Nexus One ROM: CM7.2 2013.10.28.2353-N1 KANG (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723844) Step to reproduce: 1. Force stop the application (for example "Power Toggles") 2. Setting -> Security -> Device Administrators --> "Power Toggles" --> Dectivate 3. Reboot the phone 4. Setting -> Security -> Device Administrators --> "Power Toggles" is checked (activated as Device administrator) P.S.: I can't report about this issue in the KANG's rom thread because I don't have a sufficient amount of posts, and it is possible that the problem is not related to the KANG's rom only. P.P.S.: sory for my English.
Trying to use Tasker Secure Settings to disable volume warning on Samsung S5.
Trying to use Secure Tools to disable volume warning Samsung S5 running Marshmallow. I installed everything and ran adb command. No error, but when I search for Secure Tools it says Not Installed. Then I read this doesn't work on Marshmallow? My phone is NOT rooted. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks - Frankie

Thanks - Frankie Click to expand... Click to collapse I'm confused. What app are you referring to? "AutoTool's secure settings" or the app "Secure settings" or something else that I'm missing?
TASKER and AUTO TOOLS I guess I forgot to mention that I'm user Tasker to do this... Thank you.
Be very specific what you are using and what you are trying.
Trying to disable high volume warning on Samsung S5 Using Tasker Auto Tools to run a command on my phone that will allow me to override the Volume High Warning on the Samsung S5 phone. It's supposed to enable WRITE SECURE SETTINGS with this command - and the command runs fine but it's not working for me. But when I go back to the app and look for Secure Settings, it's not there. adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Auto tools is a plugin to tasker. The "adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" is one of two steps required to give the type of system level OS access this tool needs. The first thing that should be done is to enable "allow modify system settings" for AutoTools. From the AutoTools Secure Settings page: To use this, AutoTools needs to be granted permission to change secure settings on your device If you're on Android 6 or above click here to grant AutoTools the first Settings permission Then follow these steps to grant AutoTools the Secure Settings permission: Enable Developer Mode: Go to Android Settings -> About Phone and look for the Build Number option. Touch it multiple times until developer mode is enabled. Enable USB Debugging: Go to Android Settings -> and look for the Developer Options option. In there, enable the USB debugging option. Install ADB on your PC: Check here for a quick way to do it. Connect device to PC: Connect your device to a PC and look on your phone. A prompt should show up asking you to allow your phone to be debugged by your PC. Accept this. Grant permission: Open a command line on your PC and write adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS Congratulations, AutoTools should now be able to use the "Secure Settings" action! Click to expand... Click to collapse Once those things are done ( I typically reboot for no good reason ☺ ), then go to tasker, add an action in a task, then: plugin -> Auto tools -> secure settings (scroll down the list) you'll end up in a screen where you can configure the AutoTools secure settings action.
WOW! I think I did it.. I just hope I can do it again - this was my "test" phone. I think I was messed up by doing the "search" for secure settings because it said it wasn't installed.. Yet I had looked for the secure settings option and didn't find before - although I had already done all the steps. Somehow I got on to a screen that said the app (I forget the exact words) didn't have permission to change the settings, and to press NO if I wanted to allow the permissions - and I pressed no! I had already created the task to disable the warning - but it's been so long, I'm not sure how I did that - but the bottom line is I think it's working.. I had found several sites that said this wouldn't work with Marshmallow unless the phone was rooted, and my phones are not rooted.. so that makes me skeptical, but I did a reboot, and the warning didn't come back. Thanks a ton for your help.. Let's hope I can re-create on the phone that really needs it.
In case this is found by someone else, many of those "how to use secure settings" posts from lollipop and marshmallow predate the (awareness of the) approach used by AutoTools. People spent a lot of effort trying to force an unsupported, outdated app (the original secure settings) to work in a systemless root environment.
I'm sad to say this did NOT work on my test phone.. It looked like it did, but it didn't.
