Re: Disable Sleep

Hi @dijkvr ,
I guess there is the possibility of data loss, when you unplug the Pi and maybe a slight chance to damage the SD card, but from personal experience: I'm unplugging/replugging my RPi a couple times a day and haven't had any issues with the SD card, yet. Of course, this is anecdotal. Nevertheless, for your use-case I would argue that a new SD card every couple of years is way less damage than a drained/broken car battery.

Re: Is there not a simple image file for Raspberry Pie?

Sorry for bad user experience, Yogi, but not all of our users know what dd is and what happens if they confuse of=/dev/sda instead of /dev/sdc. Additionally, there may be legal implications when distributing GPL Linux/Firmware code and non-GPL Android code inside the same image. Finally, sometimes we need to include customer-specific configuration files in the installation, which would require mounting partitions and copying it to the right location.

I agree that from your perspective there might be an easier way of achieving the goal. From the global perspective, unfortunately, we didn't find an optimal approach which would work for everyone. We are very much interested in your ideas and will be happy to improve the user experience of our installer in future.

Provisioning emteria settings and kiosk

Hello,

I'm trying to setup provisioning of the preferences of emteria Kiosk and emteria Settings. In the emteria knowledge base I found the way to enable kiosk mode (prefs_kiosk_enabled_key) and the allowed apps (prefs_allowed_apps), but I didn't find the preferences to hide the back and home buttons in kiosk mode and the preferences for "Keep awake" and "Screen orientation lock" in Emteria Settings.

Kind regards,
Bart

Re: Missing powerButton and other stuff on RPi4

Default port for VNC is 5900, not 5901. However, on some Android devices 5900 may already be busy by other system services, so we had to switch to 5901.

Re: Subscription Plans

Hi @FJEDEV , the device will stay activated, but you won't be able to use the associated services which came with your subscription, e.g. OTA Updates.
