Symbian security question

1 replies · 5,531 views · Started 24 March 2010

Hello.

I need help with some things i would like to know, i appreciate the help, thanks in advance :icon14:

I never had a S60 device and i would like to know something about it.
(I have been researching and what i want is actually the opposite of what most people want lol, so found no answers)

Question 1:
Is there any way to forbid ANY applications from being installed?

So basically what i need is some sort of " Don't allow applications to be installed (signed or not) and never ask me about this again, unless i enter settings again, and change this back manually" option.
Or something similar.

Question 2:
All applications have to be installed before being run, with no exception right?

Thanks for your help.

All applications (if they're not part of the firmware hand are "factory installed"😉 have to be explicitely installed before they can be run on Symbian/S60 based phones.
