Before install TalkBackTS, you have to manually uninstall previous version of TalkBackTS application and Child-Tracker Helper application, if it was installed before.
There are two ways to install keylogger module and first launching of Child-Tracker PRO:
- with TalkBackTS:
- Install TalkBackTS_4.apk from the root of the archive;
- Open Android’s Settings, Accessibility, TalkBackTS → ON.
- TalkBackTS → OFF. (it is strict necessary to switch if off in new version!)
- After this you can call *123456# to launch the control panel of Child-Tracker PRO.
- After Child-Tracker PRO is launched and configured, open Android’s Settings, Accessibility, TalkBackTS → ON. (it records the keystrokes, web, messengers, etc.)
Advantages of the method:
- TalkBackTS records the keystrokes from all input methods.
- TalkBackTS restarts Child-Tracker PRO application, if it was stopped by other application or by system.
- TalkBackTS prevents Child-Tracker PRO from uninstalling.
Known issues:
- On some phones and tablets, after the activating of TalkBackTS the system begins to speak some user's actions.
- The recording of the passwords is not guaranteed
- On Samsung phones with Samsung keyboard it is impossible to change the language. Install another keyboard application (our Android keyboard for example) instead of Samsung keyboard.
- with Android Keyboard (only for Android 4.1 and newer):
- Install Tkeyboard.apk
- Device Settings-->Language&input --> Android_keyboard → ON. Make it to be default keyboard application. Click on the icon in the right part of the window, on the level of Android keyboard. Add languages that you need. Select advanced settings, insert *123456#, Launch control panel.
- In the future, on phones you can launch the application by dialing *123456#.
Advantages of the method:
- It is possible to use it, if after the activating of TalkBackTS the system begins to speak some user's actions.
- If a user uses only this keyboard, records all the keystrokes in all applications, including the passwords.
Known issues:
- If on a phone or tablet is already installed original Android keyboard by manufacturer, the installing of our Android keyboard is impossible.
- If a user changes the input method to another one, the recording of the keystrokes will be stopped.
Important: if you use password protection, ensure, that Android keyboard supports that language, your password was created with. Better to use PIN-code to unlock your phone.
It is possible to install Android keyboard and TalkBackTS side-by-side, but the records with the keystrokes will be doubled in log file.
On a tablet install tkeyboard.apk from For tablets folder. Device Settings-->Language&input --> KMA_keyboard → ON. Click on the icon in right part of window, on the level of KMA_keyboard. Insert the code *123456# in text field and press Launch Control Panel.
- Click the menu. Click Settings. Configure all features you need. Note, that some menus have sub-menu.
- Find option Connect to server → Upload Logs. Switch it on. Select a server to upload→Child-Tracker.uz. In the field Device ID insert your e-mail address, you have used for registration. This address MUST NOT be the same, as you used in GMAIL, EMAIL and Play Market on target phone. Click OK. The server will automatically create a new virtual device with its own ID. This ID will be automatically inserted in device ID field.
- If you want to connect Child-Tracker PRO application to an existing virtual device, insert its ID in device ID field.
After the installation you need to do some things to avoid stopping Child-Tracker PRO by embedded memory-optimization service.
