Unfortunately, you cannot remove the Meep safety settings or the Meep operating system from the Meep. You can unrestrict some of the settings in the "Parental Settings" (MEEP Together!) app on the Meep itself, but it requires your parent portal email and password. If you wish to have more of an unrestricted Meep, download and install a separate "launcher" from Google Play, like Nova, AWD, GO, and APEX, to name a few. There are many others. A separate launcher will not have the time limit restrictions and some allow you to change the background wallpaper. You can also create/add shortcuts to your favorite apps on the main screen. If you install a third party web browser, like Chrome, Puffin, Opera, Firefox, etc, it will not have the bad word filtering or download restrictions, like the Meep Web Browser has. If you install the regular YouTube app from Google Play, it will not have the restrictions like the Meep YouTube app has. However, do those at your own risk. Your child could possibly see/view content unsuitable for children because you have used third party apps that do not have child restrictions. Finally, if you are wanting to remove the Meep operating system and have a regular Android one, you can find the tool and image (IMG) file to flash the Meep. However, it can be risky and void the Meep's warranty. If it does not flash right, it could make your Meep completly unoperable. If you decide to do so, it is at your own risk. The tool, image file and instructions are located at phandroid.com. Click on "Forum". Scroll down to the "Android Tablets & MIDS" section and look for "Oregon Scientific MEEP!". Click on it. The latest thread, "Meep! custom firmware" has the items. Again, use at your own risk.
