This article describes Android Home mode in EloView 4 and the steps to properly enable it

All Elo devices are preconfigured for “kiosk mode” (also known as “EloView mode”) to give users a rich and secure full-screen kiosk experience. The main application or web page is always maintained in the foreground and launches automatically upon bootup. Status and navigation bars are removed. System notifications and popups are hidden. Access to default Android apps and settings are restricted. Even the physical “Home” and “Power” buttons are disabled, along with keyboard shortcuts.

If necessary, you can enable “Android Home mode” for a device in order to use the standard Android user interface. Do understand that this effectively disables EloView mode for the device, so it will no longer have access to many EloView features, including OS updates. To return to EloView mode, the device will require a factory reset.

1. On the device itself, access the Control Panel button by pressing the <>Home and <>Power buttons at the same time.  Default password is “1elo” unless you changed it in EloView



2. On the “Home” screen, tap anywhere on the screen five times



3. Click the Android Home button



4. Click the Yes button



5. The system will automatically reboot and display the Android Home screen.
