Hi All,

Is there a way to add the "Settings" button to the lockdown home screen on a Samsung Device? I could not find what should I type to "Program" line when adding a new shortcut.

Thank you in advance!

Should be

   com.android.settings

If the solution posted by Raymond doesn't work:

- Open the settings on a managed device

- send the legacy script identify_activity (followed by a check-in)

- get the data from the log which should be used then to enter in your lockdown profile

Thank you, guys!

It was just too easy, that's why I could not find it anywhere else. :)

If you are going to use the legacy script Rafael talked about,  beware that it should be

     identify_activity

and not

    identify  activity

It should work fine for finding the activity name in most, but not all, cases.   For example, some apps are written in such a way that the launchable activity is just a transitional one that probably lasts for 1 millisecond or less, which is too short for anyone to easily capture using the above script command.

Thanks for highlighting, i corrected now above to not irritate others and even i was very sure that your posted solution before should it be as he already mentioned.

Hi Csaba,

Thank you for contacting SOTI Central.

I am glad that Raymond’s response resolved the issue for you.

As outlined, the bundle id for your request would be “com.android.settings”.

You can find more information on what can be added to our lockdown from here; https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v15.6/en/console/reference/dialogs/profiles/androidplus/profile_kioskmode_androidplus.html along with the Home Screen items that can be added as seen here: https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v15.6/en/console/reference/dialogs/profiles/androidplus/profile_lockdown_addmenuitem_androidplus.html.

You can also find a list of the current supported scripts on https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v15.6/en/scriptcmds/reference/androidplus_enterprise_do.html including the “identify_activity” script which is used to identify the current top activity on the device.
