Android Lockdown without a custom ROM?
<p>I'm attempting to lock down an android tablet for kiosk-like functionality and have explored the existing application options for doing so, but have not found anything that meets my needs. Specifically, the tablet needs to be able to operate without a password in "normal" mode, locking the user out of any functionality other than that provided by the approved app (or apps); however, the tablet must not allow the user to bypass the kiosk functionality (for example, by entering "safe mode") without a password. The apps that I've used so far get around the "safe mode" problem by forcing you to provide a screen lock password, but this means the user has to supply a password each time the tablet is locked, which won't work for my use case (wherein users will take their tablets home and won't keep them on constantly).</p>

<p>My suspicion is that the functionality that I'm seeking can't be achieved at the application level and will require a custom ROM, but I thought I'd poll this group before embarking down that path.</p>
