Hi everybody!

is there a way to register or a way to capture the settings for a Zebra Android device (nougat)? like a Zebra windows based REMCAPTURE

i would like to take a Android device and modify base system setting and then "push" the settings to the rest of my android devices, in order to avoid manual setting one by one

Zebra has exposed a wealth of configurable APIs through their MX layer and StageNow is just one mechanism you can leverage for configuring MX based settings. You can also distribute MX XML files, often created in StageNow, to the Zebra devices via SOTI package and have them automatically processed via the mxconfig post-install script. 

With that said, your specific question was for something more akin to RemCapture and StageNow does not really compare in that sense. What you can leverage however is the SOTI watchsettings script to watch any setting changes that are made on the devices. Most of them you can then convert into a separate SOTI script that can be packaged into a SOTI package for delivery to all devices. This process is closer in function to RemCapture as it allows you to set the configurations manually and then inspect what changed in the device logs. Some of the settings will not actually apply depending on how your device is managed (AE with DO vs A+ with DA) and what Android version you're running but I've generally found them to be very helpful.

Hello,

You can do it with the aplication "StageNow" (available in Zebra web).

I don't know your model of device. I use TC51 and this app is installed on the device.

Just install the application (StageNow) in your pc, open it --> create a new profile. When finish to configure every settings you need, export it to XML file.

Create a package with "MCstudio" (from Soti) and you should add a post-script with the command mxconfig.

Try it!

This works in my devices.
