My 3 year old loves to watch the Dr. Seuss books on my tablet, but she can access the whole system. Is there any way that I can lock it down so that she is only able to interact with the current running app but nothing else? I asked the book Dev (Oceanhouse) but they don't have a solution.
Thanks!

I don't believe so. On the first day of IO a developer was asking how he could set up an Android-based kiosk and disable home and back buttons. Unfortunately there's no such solution. Accomplishing this would probably require a pretty hacked up OS, but maybe there's a market for it
Check out App Protector in the market. I use it to let people explore my Zoom but they do not have access to anything I am concerned with. In my case I have email, settings, markets and file managers all locked down.
Thanks, I'll check it out.

"SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer."
Haven't tried this out yet but I know a couple people were asking if this was possible so I thought I'd spread the word .

Works perfectly on this device!
I am using it and it works perfect. I have three users(paid version), my wife, my son and myself and it is great. But you need to know you must install all the applications for each user, which is ok if each one use different ones. But if some of the users need the same application you need to install it twice.

Does anyone know a good app that will sync a folder on your phone and computer over wifi? It would be nice if I made a change to the fold on the computer or on the phone if it would mimic that on the other.

Dropbox all the way
Sorry I should have gave more info, it's for music. Mostly flac files. I don't want to stream that much lol my data plan would be shot. Since I have a lot of music and download some straight from my phone and do a lot of work to rename folders and songs it would be nice to have it update on both but not were I have to stream them.

For anyone looking for this I found an awesome one. Cheetah sync is what I just started using. You can choose to sync from computer to phone, phone to computer or two way. It's free but it looks like you have to pay 2.99 after a trial period.

Titanium Backup (worth the money) has a media sync add-on that sounds like it would do what you want. I haven't tried it (don't need it).
It does require root, but that's already done
If you have a file server set up (or you have "shared folders" set up in Windows) AndSMB works really well.

What about titanium media sync?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I thought about trying titanium media sync but wasn't sure if it's what I was looking for. Haven't heard of andsmb. Cheetah sync seems to be working well. It is nice because I can choose to 2 way sync where if I have deleted a duplicate or added tags or changed a song title it will update on the computer as well

FolderSync
Airdroid
Personally I use AirDroid, and I love it for syncing music/movies and whatnot. You can change up files on there also.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.
I'm using airdroid too, it's not a syncing service, but it gets the job done. As happy as I am switching back to an android device,I really miss iTunes sync, even the tethered sync beats anything I've found for android.

The App you are looking for is BtSync http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html
It can sync folder between multiple devices, it can sync files through wifi LAN or through internet, there is option to sync through wifi only.
BtSynce is available for Android, windows, linux, mac and even for NAS devices :good:
Its very efficient in syncing large multimedia files, also its free.

Got SwiftKey when the whole marketplace transitioned to play store. They had a ten cents sale. Best typing ever although it performed better when rapid could be chosen.
Who else is irritated Google retired Reader AND latitude?! Loved both of them dearly.

Adfree is not in the play store. And the version of adownloader that has search built in is 1.1.0.1 also not in the play store.
Love love love screebl pro. Never was satisfied with the Samsung smart stay apps.

I saw that you're using feedly, I've been using it for several years and they really stepped up with feedly cloud and api when reader went away. But I started using the gReader app (compatible with feedly) as a mobile interface and I actually like it a lot better than the feedly app. I would recommend it.

Right! Love greader. But for some reason after an update, it fails to add my feedly account so I just gave up. I saw on play store other people were experiencing the same issue.

Hey all, I finally found a decent, tiny footprint wireless widget that functions really well. the app/widget is by Rounded Labs and is in xda_share/APK_add_12082013
I can't quite understand why smartQ put a Bluetooth toggle in the quick settings. That's something I never turn off...but the Wi-Fi, I want direct access to enable and then immediately disable. I am in the process of testing some wireless managers that take a more automatic approach to WiFi mgmt. Since the watch gets GPS data from the phone, all seem to work pretty well. However, noticed a lot of stuttering after install on most. Let me know if these auto-wireless mgrs interest you.

U may extract it from official firmware (update.zip) with any archiver.
Ok guys, gotta anothercool app to add to the list.
My BIGGEST issue with this watch was the lack of a BT disconnection notice. My sw2 has this feature , which is one of the reasons I use tree Sony more often.
This is about to change. The lady grew weeks I've been testing an app called Bluetooth Notify. This is solely an alert app for bt connections.
In testing, I found that my N5 had issues with this app and didn't function well. However, with my other 4.1- 4.3 based phones, the app is functional.
Try the free version first with a pair of headphones...to ensure functionality...just if case the .99ยข is hard to find due to the holidays.
