Disable Camera, WiFi, and BT - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys I just got tasked with something major.
My shop has been approved to buy tablets to hold our tech data to work on equipment. The only issue is they cannot have camera access, wifi access or bluetooth. This is just to insure that people dont end up bringing them home, loading a bunch of games on it and bringing it back to work. Its strictly going to be for PDF files and Pictures of configuration stuff. I was wondering if there was a Device administrator apk out there where I can just select these options to disable. If not, I am willing to PayPal someone some beer money if they can help me out with this. I know my way around android as with rooting and what not, but when it comes to dev I am completely clueless. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be awesome, thank you.

This may work.
If you can't find it in the Play Store, I can attach an APK for you. But basically this allows you to disable most features of a phone/tablet to prevent kids from using a certain feature, but I'm guessing it can be used here too.

Windows Compact 7 on Gen8 Devices?

Hey,
I just see "Windows Compact 7" at the net

Thats it, cool, isn't it?
It has ARM support, so i thought we could try it
I read at Microsoft Page that everybody is allowed to develop his own version of Windows Compact 7 (Open-Source)
It has even Usb-Host support!
You can read it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/de-de/products/windowsce/compact7.mspx
I can't do this, i dont be a developer, but i just want to know how you guys thinking about this and maybe a developer could take a look at this..
Greetings,
Lennb
I'm sure this all can be replicated in a home replacement app.

That wasnt my question
I know that this design can be maked in an Launcher but the other features of Windows Compact 7 does look too
What do you want/need from that? (it's not compatible with Windows desktop apps, none of the windows apps could work)

I know, but maybe in the future there's an app market for that
Its a pretty young project, but it got my heart
Joking^^ But its very pretty and Microsoft made (nearly) just good OS's
Edit: Apparently theres an "App Market/Store" (Look at the Picture i've posted)
I started playing with this a few weeks ago. Put together an initial test NK.bin using the SDK for a cortex A8, but could not find anyway to get the archos SDE to boot the nk.bin. if someone knows how to do this I would love to play with this a little more, unfortunately I know a lot about windowsce software, but very little about boot loaders.

Moved to proper forum.

[Q] How do I add quick settings?

As title says...how do I add the additional quick links to the pull menu bar (screen brightness, ringer volume, rotate)???
I've been looking and am hoping someone can help....I don't want to flash a different ROM to get them, just mod the one I'm on now. A flashable zip would be even better
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for posting this. Do you have to do anything else besides flash this? I'm pretty n00b at looking inside apks
i flashed this and I didn't get any extra settings. Any ideas? Thanks, I'm on stock rooted btw
Yeah, HTC should really offer some customization of their quick settings.
I'd personally like to see an option to put the phone in standby, like is available on some MIUI ROMs. The less I need to use the hard power button, the longer it'll last.

I think this is what I have but it's made for gingerbread 2.3.3 which works for the most part on 2.3.4 but instead of saying "of or on" it just says "1% 2%". Are you using 2.3.4?
is there an update of this zip for 2.3.4?
Thanks!

Screen off and lock from the market.
Solves your problem.

Mystery Apps Appearing on Play Store

I've been trying to search but haven't found anything on this issue. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a number of apps that appeared on my All Apps list without me ever even installing them.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution

[APP] Wock - Wearable lock

Wock - Wearable Lock
I'm really excited about Android Wear and I can't wait to get the Moto 360.
Instead of waiting I decided to develop this app which gives you the ability to remotely lock your handheld.
If you see someone is grabbing your phone you can stop them from (i.e.) browsing through your phone
gallery by using this app on your watch. Your handheld will lock and a PIN will be set. It is possible to enter your
own pin or you can choose to random generate one.
The generated PIN will be sent to your watch so you'll be the only person knowing the PIN.
Main features:
✔ Custom PINs
✔ Random PINs
✔ Ability to unlock device with watch
Yes. I named it Wock. Because... ehh. ehh. C-catchy?
Play Store: Apparently I can't link to my app since I just made this account. You should look it up yourself. "Wock".​
Nice app I installed and try it..
Thank you
Here is the link.

Nice idea thanks will test it out now.

No problem, let me know if it works.
Works pretty good so far, just a small lag until it generates a code otherwise everything seems good. Will have to test it more.
Is it possible to automatically lock the smarphone when connection is lost?
And unlock when BT connection is established?
Thanks a lot for this app!
works well but getting the pin code has some lag in it. rest all cool!

It's global. It will block double click ads (not a bad thing), sometimes other mild glitches and may slow browsing down a bit on some sites. Close browser/reopen or refresh the page normally fixes it if it acts up. The very few sites it totally blocks probably should be avoided.
I rarely disable it. Been using it a couple months now.
