XDA/XDAII Locking software

Does anybody know of any software that will restrict the programs able to run on the xda and xdaII?
The reason for this is that i have ~100 xda/xdaII that are being sent out to drivers for use, and they will be using custom made software and a few other programs. therefore we dont want the drivers playing on solitaire or surfing the internet ect ect
Any suggestions?
-Pendaz

Pendaz,
Check out SPB Kiosk. I did not use this application and I do not work for SPB but it does look like its designed to serve your exact need. Hope this helps.

aaah! u see i already tried that program and it does work quite well, but it doesnt allow me to run my custom app fully. because it locks more or less everything exept one application, whereas my custom app requires a few different programs to run in the background
thanks for the suggestion tho, i probably should have stated that in my original post :?
any more suggestions?

From the blurb on their web site it looks pretty customizable. Did you try asking SPB for help? I find them usually very responsive. Good luck.

yes i contacted their support team with the error message i was recieving using the form on the website first thing this morning (9am) it is now 14:10 and i still have no reply
i guess ill just have to sit and wait.

what
the
heck
did you check the date? Did you notice that the device being mentioned is over 8 years old.

Can someone please send me the app TaskPanel X?

I just updated to the newest Froyo release, and now TaskPanel X is not showing up in the market. I was just using it with a previous Froyo release, so it should work just fine on this release. Could someone please post a link to it here?
I like TaskPanel X the best of all of the app killers because it has the option to kill certain apps when you press the power button and put your DInc in sleep mode. Besides the app "Advanced Task Killer", does anyone know of another app that does this well?

Based on what I've read and what I've heard others say online I wouldn't use a task killer at all. Google it, you'll find quite a bit on the subject.
What I would recommend is SystemPanel to monitor things and see if any apps actually need to be killed.

I know... I've read about how killing apps can cause system instability due to removing dependencies, etc. The main thing I use TaskPanel X for is all of the non-system apps so my phone can sleep. Can someone grab it for me please?

I also use taskpanel x. I installed it from appbrain.com. You can push apps to your phone from the website even if they aren't in the marketplace for you.

Thank you!!
So is TaskPanel X not showing up for anyone else who installed the latest Froyo release? Or, does anyone know why this is happening?

The free ADW launcher will get you most of the above speed and customization but does not have the advanced features.
As for adfree - it was not working initially on CM7 - drove me crazy until they got a work-around, and then adfree fixed their APP. Don't think I could stand Google Android without it.
On that subject, the XDA forum is getting bloated with ad and tracking cookies (on computer) stopped by my spam filter, so page loading is slower than molasses - anyone else notice this?

no dude !!Adfree does NOT scan web page for anything. It does NOT work like a proxy. It does NOT filter anything.
Adfree uses something called a hostfile to remap DNS names of ad servers to an IP address that is inaccessible. The default is 127.0.0.1 which is the identity IP address... I.e. your phone. The only way it would slow you phone down is if you've installwd something with a webserver on your phone

You can also download this host file from some of the windows support sites and it works perfectly on android tested it on my mytouch 4g, streak 7 and xoom. I think that ad free actually pulls this same file and uses it.
it goes in /system/etc
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
edit: it also gives a good explanation about host files and how they work

I think the phone is fast as it is...So far...

for this one, go to your gmail account [web] and select "Contacts" and find "More actions" button, under this button..., click "Find & merge duplicates..."
that will take care of your duplicate contact numbers.

I guess google will be your friend ^_^ [hint: search: benefits on rooting android]
Your question about rooting almost applies to all devices and not just this phone alone ^_^
others can add as well...

Download any easy to use system app uninstaller. I used Root Uninstaller, even though it gets kinda buggy sometimes. Back up your apk before uninstalling it, in case something goes wrong and you need it. Also freeze the apk if you think that uninstalling it will cause serious problems.
you can uninstall any bloatware ifyou have any, or other system apps which chomp away at your battery life with their running services. just be careful not to remove anything important.
Download a CPU app which changes your CPU frequency to conserve battery. SetCPU is what I use. SetCPU also provides a pretty detailed explanation to how to use their apk on their website. While you're at it, you can download an overclocking apk as well if you think it lags sometimes when you play games or have alot apps running.
I use the apk, Milestone Overclock. It is simple and works.
This is what I've done after rooting, just giving a few suggestions.

Thanks....Can we increase our app memory? Can I install more than 175mb?

For the app memory problem, download any kinda app that has the keyword APP 2 SD/ Apps2sd. Theres several free apps out there that can do this, and paid apks floating around the internet as well. This is just one of them: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en
It moves your applications into your SD so that you can free up your internal phone storage. The downside of that is sometimes if you connect phone to your usb, you will have no access to the apk on your phone.
ex. if you move texting app to SD, when your computer has access to USB, the cannot work.
So, just move accordingly. Not really much of a big deal.

Hello
Just checked. App 2 Sd is incmpactable with my Milestone XT 720
Now, how rooting or any app help can help me?
P.s - I am sorry to keep bugging u. I hope, m in compliance with forum rules

App2SD only works in 2.2 or higher. I think you're running the stock 2.1 with root? If so, look for an app called Link2SD. You will have to partition your SD card with an additional FAT partition, but otherwise it's very similar to App2SD (it's actually superior in many respects, really).

Thankyou. Yea...All Milestone XT 720 are 2.1 . I have installed Link2SD...Now, how to create partition? Btw, is rooting important for this app n procedure?

search for reverendkjr on youtube and watch his videos. there is a step by step video for almost every question you have asked.

Hello, I have tried looking up for that video by reverendkjr...but couldnt find. Can u plz give me the link

Read my thread this will help you. Androidiani has an option to remove the camera click.
Also reverend is a valued member of this forum and his videos have helped all of us. Please refrain from calling something you dont understand fishy.

You can get rid of the camera click sound by going into /system/media/audio/ui and delete the camera_click.oog file or rename it to something else (like .goo) so you don't have to delete it.
Obviously make backups before doing this though.

2012.06.14 SEEMS THAT GOOGLE REMOVED FROM PLAY STORE.
TESTED ON GALAXY NOTE, GALAXY S3 AND IT IS WORKING.

Downloading and trying with SGS2.

atm faced up with this issue "a MAJOR CPU hog AFTER it has been closed. I understand it using a large amount of CPU during its activity.. but after i exit it continues to keep CPU at 100% until i reboot... "" but if you want to use this app and dont want to have this issue- you will need to make reboots after you have used that app.

If you download it might me cool to mirror the APK. I predict this is removed within 2 days by Google

yeh ok no problem i think also, google will remove it

Looks interesting, gonna give it a try. But why does it require so much SD space?

It doesn't work for me. And I also had the huge cpu usage after closing the app until I restarted the phone.

I have a suggestion. You know how the WifiKiller app is able to detect the card manufacturer? For e.g. "Apple Computer" would show up with the ipaddress? Is it possible to implement something like this

Sir,
You are creating a real evil software.
Congratulations for that!!

OP: I'm a network administrator and someone showed me this and I don't understand how it works.. how do I prevent people from doing this sort of thing on my network? Pretty sure this is on the same lines as WifiKill if I'm correct? The device use arp and pretends to be the router?
