Kids mode
This is a patch and application that creates a kids mode. The patch modifies the launcher, eventsview, notifications and switcher code to allows the application to work.
When kids mode is activated for a user only the configured applications can be seen in launcher and launched. Long press is disabled in launcher. The ambience is changed if the user has set a different one. Only the configured shortcuts and ambiences are available in the top menu. Notifications in events view and pop-ups can't be clicked. Whether notifications are shown can be configured per user.
When the user exits kids modes then the normal user settings are restored. A pin can be set to exit kids mode.
Features:
- Multiple users can be created, each with own configuration for launcher, events view widgets, top menu shortcuts and notification preferences.
- Which ambiences are available in the top menu can be configured. Users can only switch between available ambiences. The ambience is automatically changed when entering and exiting kids mode.
- Can be activated and deactivated from the cover.
- Option to close all running apps or hide running apps that aren't allowed when entering kids mode.
- Stop android support on exit/enter of kids mode.
- Pin can be set to exit kids mode.
Notes:
- Newly installed applications need to be unselected in settings otherwise they will show in kids mode.
- The pin is stored as plain text in dconf and so not secure.
- This may conflict with other patches of launcher, switcher, notifications or eventsview.
- If the launcher folders aren't restored use restore button in settings to restore a backup
- The favorite ambiences for the main user need to be selected in settings as there is no way to access this information at present.
To-dos (time and ability permitting):
- Don't show newly installed applications in kids mode as default behaviour.
