Hi,

it's some thing you need to do in your apps and you need to remove launcher3 package indevice/ti/am62x
https://developer.android.com/work/dpc/dedicated-devices/lock-task-mode
https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/direct-boot#run

fot test you can use this command to define your apps in kiosk mode:

# start settings app from the UI (tapping)
# find the TASK_ID to allow to lock it
adb shell am stack list 
# shows the activity stack, search for taskId=X


# lock the task (kiosk mode)
adb shell am task lock X 


# from here, we are in kiosk mode, the system UI is not shown anymore, and we cannot get out of the settings App
adb shell input keyevent 4 # forces a back event (does nothing)

Hello Guillaume,

I'm unable to find the launcher3 package in the specified path device/ti/am62x. Could you provide the correct path or suggest an alternative?

Additionally, I'd like to know the changes required for lock task mode in my app. I've built Chromium, but I'm having trouble locating the file I need to modify for this.

Thank you
Sonia
