Is OTA configuration supported by Android OS ?

Question

HelloZz,

I would like to know if the Android handsets can be configured Over-The-Air; in other words, if they can be configured for settings (such as GPRS , WAP or MMS ...) using OTA.

If yes, do they support OMA CP provisioning? Is there an XML example that can be used to configure the Android devices?

thanks!

If you have the system build creator's signing keys you can create an OTA system update with arbitrary settings baked into it.

You can also create an application which adjusts anything that application has permission to adjust in response to traffic exchanged with a network server. If the application is signed with the system certificate, it can have permissions to adjust a lot of things. Otherwise, the permissions it can request are limited.
