Hi folks,
I am about to hand my child the Note 5 (SM-N920I) and hope to be able to have some measure of oversight/parental contol such as manage what he installs on his phone. With the iphone I could put a password on the app store, what would be an android equivalent I could use on the Note 5?
If it involves a modified ROM, please point me the right direction. TIA.
Appreciate your help.

There's parental filtering in settings of the playstore. Not sure you can set up a password for every download but definitely paid purchases.

Thanks Shinyside, unfortunately I don't believe it allows me to set up a password for app downloads. I'm not as worried about app purchases actually. Appreciate your response.

Hello,
I searched the APP MOD thread but did not find any posts related to the S5.
Has anyone gotten this modification to work on the rooted S5?

I use an Xposed Module called Exchange Bypass
I always used those mods but recently switched to an app called nine that lets you allow the server to enforce security at the app level rather than system level. i.e no lock

They have instructions on their site on how to bypass Exchange Security if you want to.

I believe Nine, which is a fantastic paid ActiveSync app, allows you to set the PIN at the application level instead of device level. Far less annoying! I don't have the PIN requirement on my EAS account so I've never tested

I agree. I bought for my motox14 since there is no root on Verizon and it is awesome
Wondered if anyone else has problems getting some of the tasked stuff to work with lolipop. I personally can't get secure settings plugin to work now with the pattern lock disable and re enable. any ideas?
Same issue. It'll "fix" itself to the correct seeing after a reboot. Haven't worked on it to figure out why though.

Found this... Hasn't helped me yet but perhaps it'll work for you?

I appreciate it but I think I will wait on a legit fix from the devs. I guess that's the price you pay when you have the newest of the new.

No worries. It seems like the device admin isn't sticking (as mentioned in one of the links) When I toggle it then it toggles the pin. Until it's officially fixed I've resorted to using location trusted places (hope they do a Wi-Fi trusted location soon).

I actually removed some of the deeper system level tasks I've been using with securesettings in the past on my N6. I assumed many of them wouldn't work with the new OS and didn't feel like mucking around with them. If possible, the devs will figure it out eventually.
Thread revival!
Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a Nexus 6 and I was wondering if all of the tasker problems have been resolved by now?

I've not had any tasker issues at all, and I am very profile heavy.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply!
Anybody know why Tasker can't turn on WIFI tether through either the system or secure settings? I've tried this now on three different ROMs.
So I found a workaround---- visit the Tasker Groups at this post here.
Hi guys! Okay, I need some help. I just upgraded to the Note 5 from the Note 4. While I like the phone overall, I'm absolutely missing the Smart Select S Pen feature from the Note 4 (which, objectively, is the better phone). Could anyone please, please, please....please post the apk for the Smart Select feature? I'm going to try to put it on my Note 5.
I found an app that actually works better than the Note 5 rendition of Smart Select (http://apkpure.com/smart-select-ocr/com.bin.smartselect) but it's just not the same. Thanks for the help!
I don't see a app with that name. Are you sure that's not a feature in the S-pen app?

Actually, you're 100% right. It's not a standalone app so to speak. It's, more than likely, an system apk mixed with a few other settings and system dependencies, mixed with a few thinks I'm not familiar with :silly: . In order to get the Note 4's Smart Select functionality on a Note 5 I'll probably have to reach out to one of my smart developer friends.
Thanks for responding!
Hello all,
Back in KitKat (I think), google's default app for phone/contacts had the option to only display contacts with numbers. (great idea!)
For reasons beyond anything I can imagine, they stupidly removed this feature. (Horribly stupid idea...sigh)
Is it possible to run the older phone app/contacts app on newer roms? 7.0?
I like the stock app. Fantastic app, excepting for the horrible stupid decision to break needed functionality by Google.
Thoughts? Options? Ideas?
Thanks!
Just a thought you could find the apk from KitKat and then install that. If it works. Use something like titanium backup and long press on the app from within TB and select remove market link. This should prevent the app from auto updating. Haven't tried it but i agree. The contact with phone numbers only was great.

Thanks for the direction. I'm a technical user, so I can chase this down. Why would they remove it?

Completely agree. It was silly to remove that ...
