Running Nexus one in "Kiosk mode"?

I'm looking to use the Nexus one hardware to create a single purpose device that will run an app at boot up and not allow the user to exit the app. This device will be given to users to take home for days so needs to be tamper-proof. i.e. cannot make calls, cannot SMS, cannot access rest of the OS, etc.
At the Android API level, I believe I can auto-start the app and "disable" the home button but cannot get around the long-press home button recent app list.
One possible solution would be to open it up and physically unplug the buttons' ribbon connector from the PCB.
What I would prefer is to somehow disable the home button using a cooked ROM that will ignore it in this particular app and the app can have some kind of secret way to exit. I do not know how difficult this would be using a rooted Nexus one.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You would need to build it from source. (non winzip deving)
If any knowledgeable person get's it it would be pretty easy to boot into recovery and edit system files or wipe it.
The nexus would not be suitable for this because of the nature of the bootloader.

To be honest, I personally think you would be better off building your own device for this. I'm sure that the buttons could be disabled easily enough, but the tamper proof part is a little different.
Main reason:
If you make the device so that you can't boot into recovery, fastboot, or tamper with it in anyway. How would you yourself make any additional modifications to the device?

You guy have some good points.
Maybe it's better off just using rooted stock ROM and set it as home screen then physically disable the hardware buttons. The battery cover will be glued shut to prevent access to SIM and battery anyway
As for making changes to the app, I believe ADK will allow me to update the app through USB. I wonder if its feasible to do auto-update it over network...?

wow your trying to lock the device down sounds like steve jobs lol

would not the best approach to this is to write your app as a home replacement and not show any apps? you could disable access to app drawer and settings, then you would only need to hook/disable home long press.
You wont be able stop a savvy user from flashing something on it easily.

What about setting up a pattern lock and using FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
to display on top of the lock? If the user tries to exit your program they'll be greeted with the pattern lock. Have some timer so your app automatically comes back to the top.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the last app list show NO apps if no apps were launched yet?

Yes you're right. I've set my app as home screen replacement and after reboot there wasn't any 'recent app' list
Looks like I don't need a custom ROM after all.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly are you doing with the phone that requires it to be tamper proof?

The absolute minimum requirement is that we have a device we can give to a user of any technical proficiency and allow them to easily record videos and post them directly onto a website from anywhere.

That's an interesting approach, I will have to explore that more.
How can users actually exit the app when it's over the lock screen? Does that mean all buttons including home will not do anything since lock screen is keyguarded? Does touch still register? Is this the workaround that the custom lock screen app uses?

How do you set an app to be the home screen replacement?

Enable tethering blindly

My SGN display was broken including the LCD, hence i'm not able to see anything. I'd like to access and control the device from my PC, what is the best app for this?
My main goal right now is to enable tethering. The touch still works, so i'm confident it can be done.
In the interim, could someone take screenshots of each step from the home screen to enable tethering and post them for me?
I'm going to try and enable it blindly.
Thanks in advance.
The device is a N7000 running stock ICS.

I had a similar problem...

I won't say it's easy but if you are on a Samsung based ROM you might have a chance. (Obviously you'll need to buy a MHL cable though.)
Alternatively, if you've got USB Debugging turned on then you might be able to use Droid Explorer which includes a remote control add-on.

Yes, mhl cable +hdmi is the best chance

Hit Home
Swipe to Unlock
Hit Menu
Hit approx 1cm above menu button (You're now in Settings)
Hit roughly the middle of the screen (on the left hand side - its just easier on the side) "More"
Hit approximately 1cm down from the middle of the screen - "Tethering....."
Press approximately 1 inch down from the Samsung logo.. - "USB Tethering"
Good luck...

Thanks a million.
Haven't gotten it done yet, but i feel much closer.
Trying to get to settings from swiping down from the top of the screen as i'm not familiar with the other method.

Assuming you have swipe to Unlock
Just lock the screen with the power button - Press power button again then;
Swipe anywhere to unlock
and then press the Menu key..
The Settings option is about 1 cm or so above the Menu key

Lol, i just figured out what the menu key is. I must admit it wasn't a key i used alot.
Something else i just found out, the bottom 1/4 of the screen, touch doesn't work.
I'm starting to lose hope of getting this done.
Could you swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification screen, there is a settings link there, thats where i'm use to getting to the settings from. I think with a screen shot of that i'll be able to get it done.

Got it done. Found a pic on the internet of the screen i was talking about. Would still like a proper pic. :good:

Any chance you have AirDroid installed? It has a live view (screenshot) in pc browser ability built in, it can help if you don't have an MHL adapter.
If not, force an install from accessing play store from pc.

Things to know about the Honor Note 8

I got the idea to create a topic about important things to know about the Note 8 such like in which country the LTE/4G will work and in which country not.
Real on screen time, tips and tricks to bypass certain issues and some other interesting things to know about the phablet.
I will update the main post everytime when something new is found and keep it up 2 date for users so everyone can see a quick fix or a quick answer.
If you have a fix for anything or information to update the list, please provide it in the reply`s so i can update the main post.
4G/LTE works in:
The Netherlands
Canada
UK
Germany
Spain
Poland
Greece
Russia
Australia
Switzerland
Indonesia
Things to know
Max recording resolution is not 2160p as said on the internet but max 1080P.
If you unlock the bootloader it will give you a warning when you boot up the phone saying your phone has been unlocked and can`t be trusted, this is normal when you unlocked the bootloader.
Only 1 of the 2 simcards can use 4g at the time, so there is no 4g for both of the simcards at the same time.
Hold power and volume up when starting the phone to get in the E-recovery menu.
There is only one version of this phone, the chinese one.
This version is called the EDI-AL10, and all the languages are provided on the phone.
Some websites who are selling this phone are telling that this phone misses certain languages such as dutch.
This is not true, every language is present so no worries.
Playstore is not included on the phone, you can simply download it from the HiApp which is already pre-installed on the phone.
The fingerprintscanner can take up to 4 fingers, the fingerprintscanner only works when you activate an unlock code or password to get out of the lockscreen.
Latest rom version is B029.
Previous B027
Previous B022
Previous B017
Quickfixes/Tips and tricks:
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.
Homebutton changer (provided by kalinskym)
To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted. Download Debloater from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and disable HiVoice.apk. (com.huawei.vassistant) After you have done that you won't see HiVoice anymore and will be able to change an app/ shortcut to the home button long press by going into Apps in Settings, clicking on Advance at the bottom. Then click Default app settings and finally Assistance & voice input to change assist app (home button app/shortcut)
One handed mode
To activate one handed mode drag you finger on the navigation bar from left to right to make the screen smaller and using for the right hand.
And drag it from right to left to make the screen smaller for using it with your left hand.
Once activated drag it in the opposite way once to restore full screen or tap once on the screen above that isn't in use.
Knuckle gesture/Splitscreen
To activate "Knuckle gesture" or just splitscreen, swipe your knuckle in the center of the screen from left to right or right to left.
When doing this succesfully the knuckle command will activate splitscreen.
Knuckle gesture/Advanced screenshot
Touch (knock) your knuckle on the screen and keep touching the screen, there will come a blue sparkle once activated drag a circle or square and it will give you a selection field.
On top are some figures you can choose from.
You can now select the part you want the screenshot from and save it directly on to the phone.
Double tap your knuckle on the screen to make a full screenshot. (same as volume down+power button)
Drawing an S on the screen with your knuckle will create a screen shot while it scrolls down the page.
This wil create a screenshot with a larger screenshot containing all the footage on the screen.
Now you don't have to make multiple screenshots to get everything on the screen and down.
(Check screenshot in the attachments)

Please let me know in which country you guys are and if 4g/lte works in your country so i can update the 4g/lte list.

This is useful information. Thanks for that! I have been having an issue with the fingerprint reader taking a second longer to unlock when the phone goes into a deep sleep; However, whenever the screen is recently turned off or when the phone is charging and I try to unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, it works super fast. It's only slow when I initially wake the phone from a deep sleep. Has this happened to you/anyone? I think it may either be an app or marshmallow doze feature. I would appreciate any suggestion/advice. Thanks.

I don`t have any delays with the fingerprint, however i use Smart Unlock to bypass the fingerprint in trusted locations.
Did you already tried to remove the old prints and register new?
Only thing else i can say if thats not working is to factory reset the phone.
on what powerplan did you put your phone? And did you toggle answer calls with fingerprint.
Sounds silly but if thats disabled there is a possibilty that the fingerprint app goes in sleep while activated for answering calls could keep it alive....Always worth trying...

I tried removing the old fingerprints and replaced with new ones. I even did a factory reset. The factory reset did it. That's what leads me to believe it's more an app than marshmallow doze. I just don't know how to identify which app. I even played with turning on all the features of fingerprint scanner. I am on performance mode. It's not a HUGE deal since the phone still unlocks faster than others, but it's a nuance since you know the phone is capable of unlocking faster. If you can think of another recommendation as to identifying the app or cause I would be grateful.

Hi, 4G works in Russia.

I think an easier way to change the voice assistant would be to download the Microsoft Clip Layer app. When it asks you to Tap on Assist app click on that setting and choose something different. I had already had HiVoice disabled when I downloaded the app so if someone else can confirm that it will work I'm sure someone would appreciate it.

4G/Lte works in Melbourne, Australia on Optus

4G/LTE is working fine in Switzerland! (16ms ping, 89Mb/s DL and 20Mb/s in UL in the alps)

Hi, I did a factory reset and confirmed that the Microsoft Clip Layer app does allow you to switch the voice assistant. It is a much easier process than disabling the app and does not require a computer hook-up.

[MOD] Disable High Volume Warning (no root)

If you're like me you're bummed that we have no root and are missing the abilities of root. Namely having the ability to use Xposed to turn off the annoying high volume warning. The following information aims to restore that functionality without root but requires some work but when you're done it's "set it and forget it.". You will never have to do it again. (Unless you wipe your phone)
I have this running on my phone and it works perfectly. I've attached a screenshot showing that the high volume warning is disabled on my phone. Note there is no popup on my volume slider when it's at max, so it's working. This mod uses Tasker and AutoTools. If you're not familiar with them it's OK, the article I'm linking has a step by step process for creating events and tasks.
Once again this isn't my work. I'm just bringing the information to the masses.
All set? Click here to go to the article. Enjoy!
P.S. You will need to open AutoTools and activate the 30 day trial if you don't have the full version. Then grant it permission, If not this won't work. To get the full version just open AutoTools and clock "Get full version".
***********UPDATE 09/15***********
I have confirmed that you will have to manually "test" this procedure first before it survives a reboot.
To do this:
Open tasker.
Click on the Monitor Start event.
Click on the 30 second task.
Click the "play" button in the lower left corner.
The task will begin manually.
If all is well both of the actions will turn green.
If anything turns red something isn't configured correctly.
***********UPDATE 09/17***********
For those that either don't want to or are having difficulty setting up the profiles I have attached them to this post in XML form, Then all you have to do is give the apps permission in ADB as stated in the article and import the profiles.
To import them into Tasker:
Download the file called "Tasker Profiles.zip" from the link below.
Unzip it and save it anywhere on your internal storage. Open up Tasker and disable Beginner Mode in Preferences.
Then, go back to the main screen and long-press on the “Profile” tab up top. You should see a pop-up with one of the options being “Import.”
Tap on that and browse to where you saved the .prf.xml files and select that file to import.
Repeat for the second profile.
Screenshots for this are attached to this OP.
I have also attached a quick demo video to show that this process works perfectly. No popup.

reboot and see if it still works.
I already tried this and after reboot it still prompts the first time.

I've rebooted several times. It works for me. There is a 30 second delay before the task is executed. That is by design.

Also something to consider is that if you have any task killers installed or anything that kills tasks on startup you should add tasker to the ignore list of that app.
Hope this helps.

It's configured correctly. Here is the thing. If you pull the value before without using, then pull the value after clicking ok manually, it is NOT 2, it's 0. This was discussed on the s7 and s8 forums. Odd that yours works and dozens of other folks doesn't.

I dont know what to tell you. It does work for me just fine as my screen shots show. Sorry it's not working for you.

Can you screenshot your configuration screen? Is the value your sending "int" for integer? It shouldn't matter but what Carrier are you using? I'm Sprint.

One other thing to check is under app permissions ensure that AutoTool has the ability to change system settings. Just running the adb shell pm command isn't enough.

According to the article 0 is 'not configured' 1 is 'disabled' which is what the value would be when you click ok. 2 is 'inactive'.(How this differs from 'not configured' or 'disabled' I do not know). and 3 is 'enabled'. All depending on your mobile country code. Perhaps changing it to 1 will work for you?
Specifically, we will be modifying the System.Global property audio_safe_volume_state both on boot and periodically so Android will always think you have consented to bypass the warning. This property is defined in AOSP, which we’re reproducing below. There are several states this property can take, ranging from 0-3. 30 seconds after boot or after every 20 hours of continuous music playback, the state is set to ‘0’ or ‘not configured.’ It is then set to ‘1’ for ‘disabled’ or ‘3’ for ‘enabled’ depending on your Mobile Country Code. If you live in the E.U., this property is set to ‘3’ by default but is changed to ‘2’ for ‘inactive’ whenever the user manually bypasses the volume warning. We will be changing the value of this property to the ‘inactive’ state (changing it to ‘disabled’ never worked for me, in case you’re wondering).

Going to Settings -> Sound and Vibration -> Volume -> hit the 3 dot menu -> Media Volume Limiter -> Off works.
I came from a Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 that didn't have this feature. I had no idea Samsung finally caved and added it.
Thank you.

Or not. I rebooted again and it does NOT work anymore. I'm really not trusting Samsung with this. The tasker method works every time. Every reboot. See attached screenshots showing it's turned on (and set to max) and still showing this message. I rebooted several times just in case I had a weird reboot. I'm still getting the popup even with it turned on and the max adjusted to the maximum or even with it turned off completely.
I only wish I was wrong. Thanks for the try though.

Yeah will reset after a boot

Yup...so with tasker I don't have to do any of that. I never have to touch it again. It never comes back.
Thanks again though.

I did learn something from this process. When I re-enabled the tasker even it didn't work when I rebooted. So I hit the "play" button that I mentioned earlier to retest the task and once everything turned green I rebooted and it now works again...after every reboot. So I'll add this to the OP that the task must be "tested" after it's set up in order to get it to work.
Even more interesting is who posted it. Compusmurf was the guy who stated in this thread that this did not work for him. Interesting.

I did get it to work finally. I had another tasker/app that was stepping on it.

Well I also confirmed that when I disabled it and allowed the popup to come back by rebooting simply re-enabling the tasker even then rebooting did not make it work again. I had to "test" it with the play button to get it to work again. So I'm updating the OP to reflect this.

Home button/finger print readrer

Had my phone for just over 90 days and the home button crapped out. It just suddenly stopped working. At first it disappeared in the settings menu and if I searched it would show options but they were all locked out. Did a hard reset and now it's as if it doesn't exists. Of course it's c605 and I'm in Canada bought from amazon hope the warranty checks out.

At first it disappeared in the settings menu and if I searched it would show options but they were all locked out. Did a hard reset and now it's as if it doesn't exists. Of course it's c605 and I'm in Canada bought from amazon hope the warranty checks out.

What do you see when you go to Settings - System - System Navigation? Check Navigation Bar settings.
Make sure it's just not hidden, try swiping up from the bottom of your phone. Or you could enable the Navigation Dock.

I can still use it but damn I was used to gestures and well just lame. When I search in settings it's no longer there.

Oh, I thought you meant the Nav bar, but it seems your whole fingerprint reader is gone?
It's weird though. If you could use gestures on it... That's usually only available to front mounted fingerprint readers.
This is the prop that's supposed to enable it: ro.config.hw_triple_finger=true
I could get it working on previous builds, but it's not working anymore. edit: I lied, that was 3 finger screenshot.
See if you can reinstall your current build using eRecovery
Edit: it seems I assumed you had a Mate 10 Pro which has a rear fp reader, but you have a Mate 10 according to your post history. If the FP reader/home button is broken you should get it rrplaced

Yup, definitively ask for a replacement and contact Huawei customer service about the issue. Give a try to backup and factory reset in order to check it's not a software issue.
You could also use Gesture Control, free version has no nagging ads and should be enough, but without fp reader, I'd be lost.

Because of being in Canada and the device not being sold in Canada they were of no help. But on a brighter note I bought the device from Amazon and they have agreed to allow me to return the device.
I will say if anyone is every looking to buy a device from jpmobiles.com DON'T!! At the time of my purchase it did not state no warranty included. Sometime after my purchase the description was updated and they just gave me the run around even tho I had many screenshots to disprove them. The best thing out of this is I'm about to go get the P20 Pro. :good:
