Guys,
Does anyone know of a software package for windows or even an app for the android that will basically lock down the phone so no apps can be installed unless there is a password entered (by I.T. Administrator etc)? We are trying to rollout android phones but would like to limit app installation.
Thanks
Yeah sure remove the VENDING.apk in the system/app folder, root permission is needed for this though, I use a program called root explorer, and this will remove the android market from the phone/tablet.
But there would still be other ways to install apps, that would be just removing the most obvious
I tried to root my device "Infinix Hot" Which apparently has the same build as HTC devices using KingoRoot
5 min after i plugged my device to my pc and had usb debugging on and kingoroot installing drivers it displayed a message "Root success"
But i noticed that my device didn't reboot during the process , which goes against what i have read..........
So i rebooted it manually , and now i have an app called "KingoUser" that i can only disable but not uninstall even if i factory reset( I tried ) ....... But with no root access
I tried many root checking apps and they all displayed that i didn't have root access but i have SU installed
Can someone explain what is going on please?
And can someone please tell me if i can remove this "KingoUser"
Which doesn't appear to have any uses
When i open it all what's there is just a white page with only links to Kingo Websites

Try downloading ES file browser and enable root feature, see if you have root...
You never even get a toast notification from kinguser asking if you want to grant permissions??

I did try several apps from the playstore that require root access like titanium backup ...
And they just keep trying to ask for root access for sometime then display a message "Failed" without any reaction from the "KingoUser" App
Anyway ~ i tried another root program called Vroot ( Or iRoot ) and this time root actually worked and installed superuser that ask for root permission for each program ( Allow of deny dialogue ) And titanium backup has root access now
But the app called "KingoUser" Cant be uninstalled even after doing several factory reset ( Without loosing root status )
I currently have it disabled but i want to permanently remove it cuz it's useless
One more think , i disabled the "superuser" app that automatically installed after the root process and installed the newer version from the play store that works perfectly and it updated my su binary it seems
So is it safe for me to completely remove the outdated superuser app the came with iRoot ? ( Cuz it wont update by itself and i cant find and option to update ) ? And how do i remove it ( Same problem with "KingoUser" )

yeh it's safe to remove, go with any root file explorer to system/app and delete it!
You may also try first freezing that app and then uninstalling it

This chinese su apps gave me a lot of pain in the ass
Is it safe to root smartphone and install app that sends garbage to other apps that ask for my data
Is it safe jus tto install antivirus or vpn on rooted phone, which other apps, softwares, extensions, ... should i install or remove and which settings changes or other changes do i need to make to maximise anonymity
if this is the wrong forum, please help me with the right one
I want to change the bloatware of android phone and want use only my app on device
You can't remove (and shouldn't!) remove all system apps since your device will bootloop or start force closing. If I were you, I'd remove as much as possible and then get a launcher and lock from getting access to other parts by passcode (xposed modules and other things available for this).
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or any other problems!
If you want to remove the backdoor virus this is my proposal:
Install Sophos antivirus from Google Play,
Scan phone system, ther will be one red alert at WIFI Updater system aplication.
Root your phone using KingoRoot.
Install some aplicaton for root exploring, example Root App Deleter.
Deinstall WIFI Updater and/or com.yulong.android.ota or other infected aplicaton.
Restart phone, and enjoy!
