Starting with SPM version 3.7.0 it is possible to enable Android kiosk mode by configuring the SPM as a "Device Owner" app.
In order to enable this, you need to follow these steps:
-
Perform a Factory Reset and enable Developer mode.
Attention
Only OnSign player versions 10.3.7 or above are compatible with the SPM kiosk mode.
When asked, do not enter a Google account! A Device Administrator needs to be configured before any account is created in the system.
- Download the SPM for your device. You should install the SPM tailored to your device, and if no SPM is available for your specific model, SPM DPC should be used. If you are unsure please send our support team a message.
- Connect your device using ADB (via USB or WiFi).
- You can install the SPM apk on the device by using a USB stick, or download it directly on the device. You can also install it by ADB by running the following command:
.\adb.exe install -r c:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\spm-3.7.0-dpc.apk. - Once installed, activate the Device Administrator by running the command:
.\adb.exe shell dpm set-device-owner module.platform.signage/.AdminReceiver.
The console should log:

Once the SPM is installed, it's time to install the OnSign Player. The latest version of the OnSign apk is always available at our site.
OnSign can be installed by:

Once the player is installed, start OnSign and ensure to give it all requested permissions.
Check if SPM was installed correctly
To confirm proper installation, you can verify the SPM by initiating a remote reboot from the player settings page and checking the SPM version on the player status page in the player information.
