    Android Enterprise - default phone app replacement

    I'm working on creating a custom phone/dialer app.However, I'm having troubles with granting phone role to my app a.k.a. changing the default app for phone calls. Some tech details: We are using MobiControl Version: 15.6.5.1018 Support devices with android 10+. My devices are Zebra and most of them are model TC57x. Devices are in lockdown, showing kiosk dashboard. My app is requesting a phone app role as specified in herehttps://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/role/RoleManager I have blacklisted default phone apps via a Profile, like that: Profile -> Configuration -> App run controlBlacklistPhone - com.android.phoneZebra Phone - com.zebra.phone Then I've used a legacy script to grant all of the permissions to my custom phone app afw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.CALL_PHONE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_CONTACTS allowrestartagent However, when I do a phone call from my second device my custom phone app is not launched. It's even more interesting, as the locked device does not launch any app for the incoming call. How can I set my custom app to be default phone app?

    Remove the recent apps button from lockdown mode. Solved

    Hey all!I would like to remove the "Recents" button while in lockdown. I have figured out up until now that you can do this by running lockdown in "Native" mode, this way the button does get removed. The problem is that I am using an app called "Velocity" in this app there are 2 seperate profiles, and I am using the "intent:" action to open the app with a specific profile For example: ProfileAProfileB #Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;component=com.wavelink.velocity/.te.SplashActivity;S.openProfile=ProfileA;end;#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;component=com.wavelink.velocity/.te.SplashActivity;S.openProfile=ProfileB;end; This intent works when in Activity suppression mode, but not when in Native mode.The end goal is to have the intent working as intended, and have the recents button removed/disabled.

    SOTI Lockdown - Enable both Recents button and expanded status bar at the same time? Solved

    We use Android devices in our environment, and prevent system-wide access with SOTI's Lockdown menu. Currently we have Lockdown type as Avtivity Suppression, because we need to allow the expansion of status bar. Some of our users have also asked if recents-button can be enabled, but it's only available on Native-side, and that side does not have option for expanded status bar. Is there any way to enable both ot these at once using SOTI Lockdown, or are we out of options?

    Unable read Config File - Zebra RDP

    Hello everyone, After upgrading a couple of our Zebra TC8300 scanners to Android 11, we've encountered an issue with the Zebra RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) application on one of the devices. when we opening the application, getting an error "unable to read config file". Typically, the config file is located at "/sdcard/Android/data/com.symbol.remotedesktop/files/MotoRDP.xml". i did the manual verification, and unable to locate the "com.symbol.remotedesktop" folder on the affected device. even tried a factory reset, but the issue persists. Interestingly, other scanners of the same model and version that underwent the upgrade are working fine, and we i can see the folder and config file on those devices. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any thoughts on how to resolve it? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
