How to use non root mode

There is not necessary to switch to non root mode if your devices are already rooted.

1. Make sure your device is running Android 5.0+ and you know how to use adb clearly.
2. Go to "Settings - Accounts", remove ALL ACCOUNTS including your Google account.
3. Run "adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.catchingnow.icebox/.receiver.DPMReceiver " on your computer terminal.
4. Reboot your phone then can add your accounts back.

After setting up Ice Box will grant the Device Administrator permission on your device to freeze/defrost apps.
