Configuration Tool

Root Tab

This tab contains settings for use with rooted devices only.

• Reboot Schedule - Select this option to set up scheduled intervals for rebooting your rooted device (see Reboot Schedule below).
• Hide System Bar - (Only works on devices prior to Android 5.0) If checked, the tablet's system bar will be hidden when KioWare for Android runs.
  
  
• Note: You will not be able to exit full screen videos without the “Back” button on the system bar.  You will also not be able to switch from or exit other apps.
  
  
• Exit Shutdown Option - When checked and either the “Enable Device Administrator” or “Enable Quick Exit” option is also checked (see Security Tab for these options), a “Shutdown” button displays when exiting KioWare for Android.  This button allows users to exit and shut down the device at the same time.  [This setting is included in the KioWare for Android security/configuration audit; see Audit Tab, Security, Start on Boot/Shutdown Option.]

Reboot Schedule

See also General Tab, Screen Schedule for setting up custom schedules to turn the tablet's screen on and off.

• Enable Schedules - If checked, custom schedules can be set for automatically rebooting your rooted device.
  
  Notes:
  1. To enable this setting, your device permissions must be set to allow use of alarms and reminders with KioWare for Android (see table below).
  2. Permission popups will never show in the Main App.  Missing permissions are logged after the settings are loaded (when required by the remote settings file).
  
  

  • If alarms and reminders permission is...	...Then KioWare will do this when you attempt to enable reboot schedules for rooted devices
    Enabled in device settings before attempting to enable reboot schedules	Not show a permission popup, make reboot schedule settings available, and enable reboot schedules.
    Disabled in device settings before attempting to enable reboot schedules (or before loading a remote settings file that enables reboot schedules)	Show a popup window asking for this permission to be allowed. Allowing permission will make screen reboot settings available and enable reboot schedules. Declining permission (or canceling the popup/not granting permission and returning to Config Tool) will disable reboot schedule settings and show a popup listing all missing permissions that must be allowed for KioWare to function.  Go to your device settings and enable them.
    Disabled in device settings before loading a provisioning file that enables reboot schedules	Show a popup window asking for this permission to be allowed. Allowing permission will enable reboot schedules. Declining permission (or canceling the popup/not granting permission and returning to Config Tool) will disable reboot schedules.

  • Recurrence Mode - Select the “Set Recurrence Mode” button.  A popup window will display.  Select the recurrence mode dropdown (defaults to “Daily”) and select a recurrence pattern for automatically rebooting the rooted device.  This window will show different settings depending on the recurrence that is selected.
    • Daily - Sets a daily interval (e.g., every day or every 10 days).
    • Weekly - Sets a weekly interval (e.g., every week on Tuesday and Thursday or every 2 weeks on Saturday).
