Clone and distribute Android 4 device with preloaded applications This may be related to Clone Android Device but I don't think it fits my need. I'm looking to accomplish something similar to Sysprep for Windows, which would allow me to distribute Android devices with preloaded applications and settings, such as:


Intitial data, settings, and connection information
Preloaded applications, with proper licenses/keys for non-free applications
addon / restriction for users


Is there a way to do this?
You would easily be able to do this via a nandroid backup, and there a apps on Google Play that allow you to restrict the device.

The only issue is licenses for apps - they are linked to the Google Account, so you would have to use the same Google Account on every device if you don't want to pay for every app for each Google Account on every device.

This is fine if it is a generic account, but it may not be wanted if it is a personal account.

If you make a nandroid backup with all the apps, and then restore it to all the other devices, it will have the apps, settings and licenses, as well as the Google Account.

I am going to check on Google Play for the app that allows you to limit ability (I know there is at least one).
