Hi,
I am about to assist in deploying a large amount of android device. The requirement is, that the devices (700+) need to be charged, configured and provisioned with the relevant applications for the end-users before delivery.
Device info:
Android 2.3.3
Samsung Galaxy SII
This is not windows mobile, so I am unsure if I can code/design a solution to avoid this enormous manual task.
Is it possible to code something for an sd-card that will be automatically triggered on insertion (as on WM)? This would then provision the device etc.
Is it possible to bypass the initial prompts - To my knowledge you will be prompted for entering the info for your google accounts?
If above is not possible, do I then need to create 700+ google accounts?
Hope someone can help
Brgds
It can also be via an active sync (ish) connection using a computer du provision the device?
A suggestion I received from another forum, was that I could: Make an update.zip for apps .Copy on SD card .Boot in recovery . Apply update.zip.
Would this be a feasible way to go?

We just deployed 100 EVO 4G's prior to the deployment we sent a mass email requesting the users create their own Google account and email us the info so we could setup their new phone with email and corporate email access. It took awhile to setup 100 android devices but it went smooth.

You can use SureMDM from 42Gears for mass provisioning, application deployment and password policy enforcement on Android devices, including smartphones and tablets.
It does not require Google accounts. Install the agent directly on the devices and then use the web-based console to perform all of the above actions from one place. For e.g. you can push an apk on hundreds of devices with a single click.
On non-rooted phones installation of .apks will prompt the user to continue the action.
Free trial is available on the website 42Gears dot com
Similar situation here and am fielding any suggestions or ideas if things have changed in the last several months regarding deployment.
Scenerio:
Deploying approx 200 Asus Transformers in an educational setting
Wish List:
Setup all units using the same Google account, populate static name on the lockscreen, install 3 specific apps on each and the ability to identify each one individually on the market for individual app install by an "administrator".
Currently we are doing each unit manually and then having to wait a few minutes for the Market to populate the new unit and then changing the nickname to the bldg/room number. If we don't wait for the Market to refresh for the new device they will all show as Asus Transformer TF101 and obviously we will not know which device to send specific apps to when they are requested.
There just has to be a better way! I checked out SureMDM and it has a lot of features that we really don't need and it doesn't appear to accomplish what we do need.
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!
I know this is an old thread, but what about rooting and building a custom ROM for each unique device to let it do what you want? I'm thinking of doing something similar at the moment.

Probably would work although Google now has a way to streamline deployment:
unfortunately I cannot post the direct link but goto developer dot android dot com/edu
we are about to roll out approx 100 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 devices.
we are looking for a way to configure one device to the way we want it, with a couple of non play store apps and various restrictions and settings pre-configured, and then create an image of that so we can then use it to install on the rest.
is that at all possible?
no-one?
Hello, i went across such rom but cannot recall the name.. It lets you run multiple instance of the same app, perhaps storing data in another user account..? I really need that Thanks.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I assume you mean Multi-window. Afaik, Android 7.0 support Multi-window, some OEM like Samsung allow some device to do so since Android Lollipop.
It also depend how much ram that your device has, Multi-window generally require ram, hope these information help
No it is NOT multi windows. This is really multi instance of the same app. Like having 2 data folder for the same user account & same app.

Considering this is my first post - Hello, greetings, hi.
Straight to the question.
I have a certain amount of tasks that I do on my PC and for convenience, I've developed a program that does majority of these tasks for me (basically fetch new mail from my countless e-mails, messages from facebook etc. and put them into one single window displaying inside a widget.
I would certainly love to automate things on my phone aswell, but for that I need several things that I have to ask you about first.
Answer as many as you wish, thanks for any help!
1. Do I need root access to emulate human behaviour in certain apps? Behaviour such as screen click, drag etc.
2. Do I need root access to have unsafe access to memory chunks of other software? Probably similar access as one would require in order to make a cheat/hack for a game.
3. Can emulation apps work in background and still emulate clicks even when in fullscreen app such as facebook etc?
4. What's the best envirnoment for developing an android app, one that supports programming in C#?
Thanks again!
Good day guys,
I have a client that requires the following and I was hoping that you guys can please offer some advise.
They are currently using the Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) they want us to setup all phones in the following manner:
When phone boots up it needs to automatically open up a specific application, the users should only be able to use the app and only be able to use Camera, Google Maps and SMS function.
Users are not allowed to use any other functions on the phone except for above mentioned applications.
So my question is, will I require a newly created custom rom or is there a way to get this done with out any development?
Thanks in advance for your feedback, it is highly appreciated.
