- Blocks factory reset via both Settings and ADB
- Disables all developer options and debugging tools
- Prevents installation of new apps from any source
- Prevents uninstallation of existing apps
- Disables wallpaper changes

Persistent Security
Once OldMDM is set as device owner, it cannot be uninstalled through normal means. Removing it requires a full reflash of the device. This makes it ideal for locked-down deployments, educational devices, or kosher device enforcement.
- The uninstall PIN is dynamic, changing every minute and tied to the user ID.
- For Regular users, the PIN can be purchased for $5, with a signed agreement confirming they understand the risks and responsibilities of uninstalling the app.
