Knox Customization

Knox Customization APIs allow businesses to customize and deploy end-to-end mobile solutions.

Use the Customization APIs to develop purpose-built devices for vertical markets. For example, you can develop informational kiosks for hospitality, in-flight entertainment systems for airlines, or point-of-sales devices for the retail industry.

For even deeper customization of Samsung devices, Knox Customization Services offer consultation and development assistance to produce unique software for your business and enterprise needs.

Knox Customization policies remain active on your device even after the app is uninstalled. Read the FAQ, for more about how to handle this scenario.

How it works

With the Knox Customization APIs, you can develop an app that seals Samsung Android smart phones. You can present just one or a few key apps and prevent or restrict access to the underlying Android system.
