Hello,
7.1.1 … Galaxy Tab A SM-T555
here all details …
Not ure, but this tablet has been preset for Orange french provider, there is some dedicated application installed by default event after all reset way to be (soft, Hard, …)
But this should be only for the SIM lock feature…
In theory should work. Perhaps the tablet is somehow locked by the provider or has some security policies that prevents the installation of this app.
Hummm … what a pity…
we use to use this devices (some units available) with customised marketing presentation application in the past…
Was not thinking to be stuck…
let’s see, I try to find some other Android devices for testing…
Seems APK is not compatible with android x86 tablets. Could you please adjust package? Thanks!
Update. Also not compatible with Qualcomm APQ8009 hardware, (old Lenovo TB2).
adb install gx-android-display.apk

I gave that tablet away because I couldn’t get it to work. It was an AiProTablet K10. Below is the link to the Amazon listing for it. It was running Android 13. It had a Unisoc processor model # SC7731E and was an ARM Cortex-A72 with 1.3 GHz speed, the graphics processor was an ARM Mali T820 by Unisoc. It had 2GB LPDDR4x, 64 GB ROM, 6 GB RAM.
It was a generic Android tablet from Amazon. I have three additional generic Android tablets coming from Amazon (hopefully today) that I plan to try. Each is running a different version of Android (11, 12 & 14).
Nice display!
But here, there is a reload every 15 - 30 seconds in the middle on a Lenovo Tab M8 (4th generation). Wifi is about in 3m.
Anyone know if the motorola moto g14 will be compatible with this kiosk mode?
That is a low cost mobile that would fit my needs.
I wanted to test this on a very old Nexus 7 (2013) tablet which has Android 6.0.1 (official Google firmware).
After a factory reset I got a different Welcome screen that did nothing when I pressed 6 times on the word “Welcome” (the only text that was on the screen) or anywhere else on the screen.
I found some info online that the QR code scanner during setup was introduced in Android 7 so I assume that’s why it doesn’t work that way in my case.
Is there another way to provision the tablet instead of using the manual APK install way so I can have the full intended kiosk experience?
Hi everyone,
A new version has been released: v1.00beta3
Changes:
To update, reset to factory defaults by using the option in the service menu and install the app.
This version should fix compatibility with some but not all of the reported models.
I have the exact same tablet galaxy tab A and having the exact same issue. It is not a tablet issue, it is the app. My tablet is not blocked by any company/provider.
Hello @jperez,
Installation went troguht on a Galaxy Tab A that was failing before, but after the installation completes the app keep crashing and does not run. I tried enabling all permisions to the app and still keep crashing and showing a “Restart App” msg that keeps showing after crashing.
Regards
Thank you. This has fixed my problem. Working perfectly now.
You can try installing it as a regular APK; some users have reported that it works fine for them. However, in this setup, notifications and other features can’t be blocked, so kiosk mode isn’t as good as it would be when installed via the QR code. Still, this approach may be good enough for your needs.
I had to manually launch the app, but it seems to work. Thanks for the fix and the communication about that as well.
Have app running on an Amazon Fire 8 tablet 7th gen.
By default this tablet only runs Android FireOS 5.7, was able to upgrade to Android 10 after installing LineageOS (custom rom).

I’m guessing that it’s an artifact of a different screen ratio (1280x800 vs 1024x600 in a GX Touch screen) So Victron folks? If I open the new GUI in a browser; the webpage ‘appears’ to scale to the browser window. Any chance the kiosk app can do the same?
