Hi devs,
I was wondering... maybe there is "an app for that", but I have not seen it..
I will be updating to the newest greatest android phone when it is released for Sprint / CDMA. But what will I do with the beloved HERO?
I was thinking it would be great for my kid; or kids in general as a:
for younger kids: MP3, Movie, Internet, GPS, Photo device
for older kids: a cell phone / leash.
But there are some things I dont want my kid to have access too. I want to limit the phone and give only access to only necessary functions.
So, here is my request/suggestion:
Have a "Home" app that can lock down the phone's functions. The parent can turn off/on the functions that they want the kid to have.
-Lock down the Dialer or make it invisible.
-have only calls to short cuts "people"
-911...
-GPS always on
-Text limitations.
-use a software like "wavesecure" to look at the phones activities.
-app to see where they are and where they have been.
-set timer on some functions: like can make calls / text on weekends only.
-Limit access to the "Market"
-Limit access to the Internet (kid friendly).
-ability for us to call the phone, it auto answer, speaker on, and not show any trace of it being on. ( )
(just to name a few options)
This might be a great app that sells a lot.
Lol...
some of them sound a bit erm controlling but im not a parent what do i know..
I think the internet is semi-censored by your phone internet provider when on 3g(Dont think so on wifi). Was for me anyways!
yes.. I agree.. it is very controlling and big brother feel to my request.
But .. as a parent.. I want to know..
and Knowledge is power
and better for my peace of mind.
Till they are out of the house.. I WANT TO KNOW.
I dont want to be one of the parents.. after the fact..
and say to myself.. "i wish i had known"
Parent = Responsibility

Well, u may say that, mb that's off topic, but 16+ kids do need their own privacy and controlling the phone of such kid is completely inappropriate. I would understand if u weree talking about some 10yo though.

my kid is 6 .
yes, as they get older. you try to teach them good decision making. and with that you give them more freedom and responsibility. Which they must earn, not an age-given right. OF COURSE: each kid is different and different situations.
I will then give them back more rights. I will release control over certain areas. Till finally they are out in the world and trying to make their way. And I will just sit back and be their safety net, if they need it. Praying that I was able to teach them and give them the skills to make good decisions.
Till then.. I want to know... so that I can help guide them away from harm.
similar to a 16 yr old chatting online..
and you not watching what they are doing..
Or texting message, with photos of themselves... in not so good pictures.
we have all read and heard of these bad situations in the news.
kids to other kids...
to adults....
to online predators!
Replied in your other thread.
Ok let me start by saying I like to talk Sh*t to my friends a lot...And when I'm driving or maybe just being lazy and dont want to type a txt I use the voice recognition...Well one thing that really pisses me off is how a $600 phone, wants to decide what words it wants to type. If I say asshole..I want it to spell out "ASSHOLE", not ####hole. Now, although I am a power user I am new to smartphones(this is my first one) Is this something across all androids? Most importantly is there a way for me to get my phone to not treat me like a child?
Someone please help me...I cant believe how mad this is making me.
It's there because they don't wont kids to use it and have the system say "****" when they said "duck."

"All" they did was bypass the custom launcher and gain access to the camera. Impressive but far from "hacking". I guess anything passes for hacking these days.

I agree Jamal, the point is not that whether they hacked or not, the point is how a device transcended the boundaries of language and literacy/illiteracy. In the end the children were more educated and learn something on their own. That's awesome. Just imagine a child with no knowledge of English as a language first saw this brick of a device and thought in his Ethiopia language (after pushing the power button for several seconds) "hmm....may be i will slide my finger like this and something might happen"....few seconds later .."o **** something happened"....*interesting" .."what is that icon (Nell), may be i will put my finger on to it, it worked the first time when changing the first view (locked screen) to this view (unlocked screen) on this magical brick with colors ....and so on ... :laugh:
HI THIS IS A PLEA LOL FOR THE QSLIDE... IM SURE EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING AND ASKING FOR IT. SINCE BOTH PHONES ARE LG CAN IT BE PORTED OVER? I JUST REALLY WANT THIS FEATURE. ????!!!??!

you're never going to get help talking to people and demanding **** like that
How was I demanding I clearly put Lol and this a plea... If u that sensitive then u need to delete your account asap and goodbye

It's just irritating as hell that it's so hard for some people to talk like a human being. I understand the language barrier that exists on this forum, but even non English speaking people dictate more clearly than you. I hold nothing against them, I love diversity, but you type like you are intending to sound like a 5 year old. Lose the caps lock, excessive exclamation points and question marks and talk like you have at least been to some kind of school at some point in your life.
In all seriousness, no it can't be ported just because they are both LG devices. qslide is built in lgs frimware, not AOSP.
First off. Let off the Caps locks. Next that is an LG UI and will not work on the AOSP based that the nexus runs on. Same thing with TW and Sense. A search would have told you this.
So I have had this device for a few days and have tried every PC and apk one click method and to no success have I rooted this device. The hardware specs are fantastic for a device this affordable and I've never seen one like it for this price. If root could be developed, this would be a great device for developers to test root applications and test their Roms. The audio quality for wired headsets isnt very likeable and doesn't have very much increase. I would like to see a bootloader unlock. Custom kernel and a CyanogenMod 13 rom for this device and am willing to pay any developers who think they can crack the device 200$ over PayPal to get this device going! Pm me and drop some comments to tell me weather you think you can do it or not.
Thanks in advance for any help and progress!

Below is the build.prop text for developers to review.q
I'm comments because it won't let me post it I don't know why .-.
Edit: cant post build prop because new users cannot post links i guess
Don't reinvent the wheel. Look around on the internet before you post. We don't have root yet but have a busy community at
http://androidforums.com/threads/request-root-recovery-for-zte-zmax-pro-z981.1055437/
Always look before you try and reinvent the wheel
Btw they are working quite hard. They don't ask for money but if you have a phone to donate it would probably be helpful
androidforums dot com; look for root bounty there, they will gladly accept your donation......

I'm sure theres a back door to unlock it. It's a T.mobile device normally there good about unlocked bootloaders but it appears it's ZTE not T.mobile so. If the note 4 gets the BL unlocked i'm sure it'll happen for the ZTE.
Hrm
I'm looking forward to a bootloader unlock. I bought the phone off a buddy and can't wait to do some bootloader fooling around with it.
I made the mistake of updating to the latest ZTE update for the MetroPCS one but of course instantly disabled all the MetroPCS apps preloaded.
Any word?
Me too....
My z981 is freezing and I get numerous system ui not responding, chrome not responding, all apps basically have to reboot it, after a little while does it again. Any news on a root?
No one can make a rom for ZTE V9820
I think all hope is lost on this phone. The only solution now is to abamdon it altogether and not ever buy anything else from ZTE.
I will give my ZMAX Pro z981 for Research
I have a ZTE ZMAX Pro, I am willing to submit for root research if anybody is willing to trade a Samsung phone with at least a 5.7 inch display.
Today while messing with my Google Nexus Player I came across this.
It's a disclaimer with what might be some extremely useful information. I took a picture.

I just bought a zmax pro Mon.day for $30, by adding a line=$50/mo for 2 lines.
I can drop the 2nd service in a month and port my number to the ZTE later.
I also refused/discarded the OTA to B20, it's on B14 right now. Been playing with and liking this phone but time will tell how well it continues to behave.
Wait, you want to trade a $30 ZTE and get a $500 Samsung in return? That's funny
Really people....?

Ideally it works that way, unfortunately often it doesn't. I'm growing tired of the game, I hope new people step forward soon.

I mean, we have root. It's just a matter of getting secure boot out of our way. I would be more than happy to send you an invite to our server jcase if you want to know more... We could use someone with actual experience.
Have you got any farther?
Lol this is an old thread but i just found a zmax pro on the side of the rode riding my fixie. Only zte phone i liked was the original zmax back in 2016 i think had that thing running lollipop custom rom. I see zte still makes it hard to root phones and modify what you want tho. Guess i could care less about profiting or even keeping this thing as a backup. Currently trying to get in touch with the owners wife and daughter in his contacts.
i change this garbage phone zte max pro 981 to galaxy s9 plus
and same problem the phone dont have any root really phone company in usa are garbage other country dont do any of that its just in usa
