To implement these features, download Enterprise Home Screen 2.4.

Android Lollipop Notes

  • Status Bar Pull-down behavior has changed. A new feature in UI Manager allows the Status Bar Pull-down (referred to there as Notification Pulldown) to be controlled through EMDK, StageNow or a third-party mobile device management (MDM) system, overriding any EHS setting. Applies only to devices with MX 6.0 and higher, which is for Android Lollipop and later.

  • Status Bar Settings Icon behavior has changed. While disabling such access to the Settings panel is not supported through EHS on all devices, a new feature in UI Manager allows the Status Bar Settings Icon (referred to there as Notification Quick Settings Icons) to be controlled through EMDK, StageNow or a third-party MDM system, overriding any EHS setting. Applies only to devices with MX 6.0 and higher, which is for Android Lollipop and later; any prior device limitations remain.

  • Android L retains the Recent Apps list after device reboot. If this poses a security risk, the list can be cleared using App Manager through EMDK, StageNow or a third-party MDM system. For more information, see Security Notes in the Advanced Features section.

  • Kiosk Mode should not be used with Screen Pinning, a feature in Android L that works in much the same way.

  • The Bypass Keyguard feature fails to unlock the screen after an Android L device is rebooted. This feature works normally on devices running KitKat and Jelly Bean.

  • Android L allows screen orientation to be changed through the Quick Settings panel only when EHS is configured to accept the System orientation setting (the EHS default). If an EHS administrator sets the orientation to landscape or portrait mode, the device user will no longer be able to change the orientation setting.
