I'm developing a kiosk application (installed on a rooted Android device) and would like to remove the access to the settings. I think this can be done by just removing the "settings.apk", am I right? If not please correct me.
The question is, what would be the side effects of removing the Settings.apk? Are there any that I should be aware off?
Well yes,if you remove the Settings.apk, you're breaking alot of stuff. Say, functionality in terms of new wifi connections, blue tooth pairing, sound adjusting. Also you'd be breaking references to it, like when a user would try to launch settings from the status bar drop down or the launcher, it would result in the corresponding application to crash, whether it be system or user. But why delete the apk? Ty looking for alternatives, which would simple restrict the users from accessing it. Hope I helped out.
