[Q] How can I block all apps I want from start? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello guys,
I'll put some tablets to the use at my store to help customers and because of this I want to know if there's any way I can make the tablet allow access only the program of the store and if the employee try to start any application the system will asks for a password block his access to system configuration and use non-work app's?

A way to Install an apps from my site?

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone knows of a way to enable customers to download & install a free apps directly from my own web page.
Surfers should be able to surf to my web site using android web access, click on something, and then apps should be installed on their android (no need for market or "adb install file.apk").
Any clue will be accepted with many thanks,
Falco
If they have set their settings to allow it then the standard browser knows that it should open .apk files in the programs installer.

Official Froyo support apps on SD Card?

Hi! all. need to clarify something about froyo.
1) I read that Froyo supports installation of apps to SD Card instead of the phone's memory. But some ppl have mentioned that although this feature is built in, it doesn't mean that all apps in the market is applicable because the developer must first have allowed this to be done in the first place meaning if the apps that were earlier on available in the market might not be compatible & i'll still have to install Apps2SD to install apps to my SD Card. Is this true?
2) If lets say that question 1 is not true & that all apps can be installed to the card, i would still be unable to access the paid apps cause i live in a country without the android market. how would i be able to browse & get these paid apps for free & install them on my SD card in the same way as a rooted Desire.
Appreciate clarification
1. Yes, this is true.
The application developer has to add to the project manifest file an option where he would like to install his application to: Auto, SD, Internal memory.
While 2.2 allows to install applications to SD, the developer must enable it first.
2. I too live in a country that is unable to access the paid applications, for that there is an app called market enabler which allows you to emulate the sim ID of another country.
Allowing you to purchase applications from the market using google checkout.

which means that custom rom 2.2 is still the way to go if i want to install all apps without worrying whether the developer has added that option or not. any idea which rom is stable with the following features:
1) Apps2SD
2) Chinese display & input
3) Flash video & games support
appreciate everyone's help cause i'm very new to android especially custom roms. have read that some custom roms are unstable & can cause problems.

[Q] Install Apps while rejecting certain permissions (sandbox-like/vm)?

Hi there! Is it possible to install an App and reject certain permissions?
E.g: an App wants to read/write my contacts, although there is obviously no need for it (e.g. a cookbook App)?
I know it's not possible out of the box, but is there a program like, say "superuser", that is able to block only certain permissions on installing an App? Of course with the possibility that this App will not work correctly then...
Like a virtual machine: you can install and test everything within it, while not giving it access to the host.
Is this something that isn't even possible because of the structure of Android? Or is it possible but no one made it till now? Or does it already exist and i am too dump to find it?

[Q] Easy way to copy apps from S5 to Note

Hi, Is there a easy way via an app, wi-fi transfer, usb device to device, to copy the apps and settings/passwords from a Non-rooted Verizon S5 phone to a non-rooted Note 10.1 (2014) tablet? Or do I have to manually download each app from the play store to the tablet? My phone apps should all be stored on the sdcard. I don't know where password data & etc is stored. Basically I want the tablet set up the same as my phone with same apps.
Thanks if anyone can help. I searched for any threads on this & didn't find anything, unless I didn't make the right search.
Helium
ClockworkMod makes a cool non-root backup solution called Helium. It has 2 components: A PC app and a local app you can get through the Play Store. There are some apps that will come back as disallowed for backup, but the majority of them will allow you to transfer your app data. I used it successfully when I upgraded my wife's tablet and my phone. It's also worth spending the 5 bucks to get the premium version as it will allow you to backup and restore the apps and data to your Google Drive (cloud) as well.
The only downside I have found to this app, other than the fact that some apps are not able to backup (i.e. Chase Mobile) is that you have to use the PC app to enable backups every time you restart your phone/tablet. When you initially download it, you have to connect your phone/tablet to your PC and enable the Helium backup. As long as you don't restart your phone/tablet, you can backup as much as you want on that particular session. If you have to restart either device for some reason, you'll have to re-authorize Helium to make backups. It can be annoying, but it's a small price to pay to transfer your existing data and apps.
PM me for links, as I haven't made enough posts to be able to include them here.
Hope that helps!

Question Play Store: unable to log in to account

Hello everyone.
I can't install or update any apps because Play Store doesn't see any Google account - it says I need to log in but I am already in.
I think I know what happened. My friend wanted to delete some apps (docomo, Google) which he doesn't need and after factory reset docomo apps were installed but some Google weren't.
So, could you tell me which apps are installed (with APK names if possible) on the device at start?

If your friend just deleted those apps from within your devices settings app, a factory reset will restore those apps again.
System apps are only permanently lost if they are removed with high privileges (having root access).
Can't you log in manually in play store or remove your current account from the phone and then reconnect it?
Also, did it help to delete the data of play store as well as cache?

Everything you say I tried earlier with no result.
So It works now after I use VPN to add an account.
It was Google mistake. They broke many phones yesterday
