Gesture authentication gateway (Android) - Testing

Hi, there!
App allows to log in with discrete gesture to apps and web-sites that accept traditional text passwords.
I need volunteers to try it out, so that I could get data (gestures that people choose) for research - to anayse method potential problems and conceptual soundness.
If you would like to try this app and same time ok to install study version that requires Internet access permission (to send to me data about app usage) - please check it out.
Traffic used is minimal (app sends 1-2 Kb of data for every gesture, depending on its complexity, but guess you will know better from your traffic monitoring apps).
Instructions / how-to are here:
jo.jaborandi.org.ru
(sorry for not-active links, forum forbids posting links for new members)
apk is on Downlod page
Couple of known problems described on Known Problems page. However, app was tried on only few devices yet, so it's not impossible you'll encounter new problem - would be great if you report it.
There's Contcat form on site.
Just play with method in "Practice", or try it with accounts (not your mobile baking of course , or create test account on my site, if you don't want to use it with your personal ones.
When you fed up with the app, please visit Post-participation form page on site and fill form (12 questions + optional your own feedback). To access this form you will need to enter "Feedback code" (it is displayed in app's main menu).
App itself has help page, but it is not up to date. Site is - please read help there.
Please check at least beginning of text on homepage to figure out what is difference from any arbitrary gesture you like (to avoid confusion when starting to use it)
!!!Please don't use this app for tasks of critical security!!!
If you have any questions - let me know - I'll be checking this thread too of course
p.s. Of course app sends only data about use of itself, nothing else, sends it encrypted with my public key, I'm not a hacker etc. But I'm sure if you volunturely test android apps you know better than me that regardless of trustworthiness of app, you should have no sensitive data on your sdcard when you install app with Internet access.
p.p.s. I tried to optimize info-site for mobile, it should look ok in stock browser and in Dolphin, but I couldn't make it look good in Opera Mobile yet. Sorry for inconvenience.
Thanks and have a good evening everyone!

AppFinder on Windows Phone 7

Check out my free app in the Marketplace: AppFinder
AppFinder is the fastest way to find apps by name bar none.
Start typing the name of an app or publisher, and the search results are shown instantly.
tap one of the results to go to the marketplace page for the app.
Check it out and let me know what you think
Been using it last couple days, its a big help! Thanks!!!
I'll check it out thanks!
Thank you - it's very fast like the marketplace search should be. Good for quick looking apps if you know the name.
Are there any improvements coming? Like the Top Downloads or anything else?
appfinder feedback
thanks for the feedback - I'm on it
Great app, thanks!
BTW I can't find HTC Hub...
I think you need an HTC device for that sorry buddy

does this fix the crash where it closed and wouldn't reopen for me (even after soft reset)?
I had to uninstall, reinstall to get it working again.
I don't think so.
Although I think I know the cause. I will have to roll the fix into another update.
I think there is a small window where the downloaded data file can be corrupted if the writing to flash is interrupted. It will be simple to fix. For now, if you hit it, uninstall reinstall is the only option.
nice find. but did you know while in maketplace you can use the search button to find apps as well?

Of course I do
AppFinder is all about making apps discoverable in the fastest way possible.
I think if you're not in the top 20 apps in the marketplace under any one of the categories, then as a developer you're invisible. AppFinder seeks to make it easier to find apps via search, and with the update, via browsing as well.
Update is in the hopper, still waiting for testing to complete...

the annoying thing is that it searches music and video as well. i can't just search for apps alone
locales
Ok, so I just figured out I've only been indexing the en-US locale
I've updated the data to include
{ "en-US", "en-GB", "en-IE", "en-CA", "en-IN", "en-AU", "en-HK", "en-SG", "de-DE", "fr-FR", "fr-BE", "de-AT", "de-CH", "it-IT", "en-NZ", "es-ES", "es-MX" };
this change is effective immediately as it is a data update. Still waiting for the update to make it through the approval process. It seems that the holiday has slowed things down a bit
The update finally arrived
Nice new features and still very fast. But unfortunately, in my case, it wont load after the second app start (even at first start if I switch the section). I always have to deinstall/reinstall again once the app was started.
Maybe you can take a look? Feels like a caching problem or something like that. I'm using a Samsung Omnia 7 in germany - if that helps
Feature wishlist:
1. add a settings screen to edit:
a.) the number of list entries on one page (10, 20, 50) to keep the app fast enough
b.) the section on loading (and maybe you also can set this to no section just for fast look-up app search - I used the app for this before the update)
2. Maybe you can use the OS-typical "left-to-right-scrolling-loading-dots" instead of the big ones?
3. New logo if there is enough time

Private Joker,
Thanks for the feedback.
First - there was a bug that only impacted the German locale! I was trying to save bandwidth by truncating unnecessary leading zeros in the price and this caused an exception when the locale was set to German. I've updated the data to include the leading zeros and this fixes the problem for Germans. You will have to uninstall and reinstall though to get it to work. I am very sorry for the inconvenience, and I really appreciate you taking the time to give me your feedback even though the app was not working for you at all. I hope you will try again given that the data has been fixed.
Regarding your feedback -
I think you are right on the mark for #2 and #3
I don't understand 2b.
regarding 1a.
perf should not be impacted by the number of items that are shown -
Appfinder actually transfers the marketplace data to the device and indexes it locally. I do this because the network is really, really slow. Aside from having artists and albums mixed up with apps in the marketplace search results, I also was tired of waiting for results to load. Scrolling through the apps means waiting.
The delay at the beginning is caused by reading the marketplace data from flash and indexing it in RAM. Occasionally the loading dots will appear after launching (like the first time that you use it) because AppFinder has transfered a new data file and needs to parse it again. Instead of delaying every 10 or so apps in the list, there is one delay at the beginning (which is relatively small). Right now parsing the file takes about 4 seconds.
Perf could be greatly improve if I had access to memory mapped file APIs. Further compressing the data would help as well - The really slowest part is really reading from the flash. I can improve perf when a network update occurs by reading from the flash in the background before blocking - this would drop the update delay from ~4 seconds to ~1 second.
I could also not query as you're typing -- Waiting until the enter button has been pressed would reduce CPU load and any chunkiness - pressing search would just render the apps instantly.
Anyway, really appreciate your positive attitude and willingness to give feedback in light of what must be a frustrating experience. Please give it another try.
Thanks,
Eric

[XAP] [Source] IE Search Switcher 1.3.2

Tuesday 4 April:
It looks like Samsung support is still broken. Feel free to continue testing and reporting any issues, but it looks like I'll need to try a few different things. HTC and LG still work, of course.
UPDATE 1.3.2 - Saturday 2 April:
I've added some more checks to the registry write code. If you're not sure if the app is working for you (i.e. Samsung device owners) please try it and report what happens when you switch search options, or install a new option. If you get a messagebox indicating success, you're good to go. If it indicates failure, please tell me what the message was. Also, if it indicates failure the first time, try hitting Save again, and see if you get the same result.
UPDATE 1.3.1 - Saturday 2 April:
There may have been a bug in the way I was implementing registry access via the RIL Client COM control. Based on comparisons with some code known to work, I think this bersion might actually do it. This is of course untested - I don't have a Samsung device handy - but it may actually work. If not, PLEASE let me know what happens!
Also, this app officially *does* work on HTC phones using NoDo. I don't expect NoDo to break anything, but if it used to work and now doesn't, please let me know whether you've updated since it last worked.
Sorry for the long delay between versions. I've been working on something extremely exciting: an app to allow people to back up the important data on their phones (application storage, documents, and other things that don't automatically sync) to a PC, and restore it. I'll put a thread on here when it's ready to publish. In the meantime, if anybody has a way to get filesystem access on anything but HTC phones, *PLEASE* contact me!!
If it works for your Samsung device, PLEASE post a reply saying so! That would be very exciting news. If it doesn't, please check the error that appears. If it's the same as in this post, just say so. If not, please post at least the first few lines of the error so I know what happened.
DESCRIPTION:
A tool for quickly changing the search engine used when you hit the hardware Search button from within IE. You can use the search provider that comes configured on your phone, the built-in Bing app, or any other providers you've manually added. You can also add and use the mobile search page from Google, Yahoo, or Bing.
NOTE 1: This app does not change the search app used outside of IE! It only changes what happens when you're in Internet Explorer, and hit the Search button or enter something that isn't a valid URL in the location bar. If anybody figures out how to change Search button behavior anywhere else, please let me know!
NOTE 2: This app can not cause the search button to launch another app, aside from the pre-installed Bing search! It can only open a URL, not an app. I'd like to enable launching other apps, but that's a bigger project than I have time for at the moment.
TO INSTALL:
This app is not in the Marketplace and therefore requires a developer-unlocked device. You can unlock your device if you have a Marketplace account, or with ChevronWP7.
Download the ZIP file at the bottom of this post.
Extract the XAP file under \IESearchSwitcher\Bin\Release\.
Deploy the XAP file to your phone.
TO USE:
From the Applications list, run the "IE Search Switcher" app.
Select the search provider that you want to use from the drop-down.
Press the Save button to change your search provider.
If the provider you want is not listed, hit the Add button to install more options.
In the Add view, select an option from the drop-down and hit Install.
You can hit Refresh to see what provider is currently set.
TO REMOVE:
Press-and-hold on the application in the list, then hit "uninstall".
This will NOT change or reset your IE search option. It will stay as last set until changed again.
Coming features:
Samsung support (maybe 1.3.1?)
Ability to add your own search providers
Ability to edit or delete existing providers
Support for Dell and other OEMs (if possible)
Ability to launch apps other than Bing when you hit Search (if possible)
Supported devices:
HTC HD7: Tested, works
HTC, other: Reported working
Samsung: May work as of 1.3.1, please test!
LG: Reported working as of 1.1.0
Dell: Unknown, unlikely to work
Other: Unknown, unlikely to work
SAMSUNG USERS: I'm trying to support your phones, but the problem is very confusing. As best I can tell, the technique I've been using has worked successfully in other apps. I'm trying something different for 1.3, so please test it out and let me know what happens!
THIS IS STILL A BETA! If something doesn't work, PLEASE post a comment in this thread with your device, what you were trying to do, and what exception message you got. If there was no exception, just explain what didn't work. THANK YOU!
FOR DEVELOPERS: The full source code for the app is included. I've also added some improvements to the Homebrew library from when I downloaded it. It's from the source for the WebServer project, and is copyright Dave Amenta. If you want to use it to make your own apps, be sure to include the following:
DLLs. Check the ReadMe.txt in the Homebrew project for more info.
WPInteropManifest.xml
The capability ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in WMAppManifest.xml
Version history:

1.0.0.0 Initial Release (27 Jan 2011)
Not working on my T-Mobile Germany branded OMNIA 7.
Error: Unable to load provider options !
not work with my focus in chinamobile,thanks all the same.
works good on a htc hd7
ps , thanks for the source code .
Doesn't work LG optimus7 telus
Thanks for the reports, folks. Sorry to hear about the non-HD7 problems; the only phones I can physically test on are HD7s. Sounds like registry read on other devices is having issues. Sadly, this doesn't surprise me after the issues I had getting it working at all.
I'll make sure that the necessary libraries are included and that the error messages are as informative as possible (please mention the exception you get, it really helps the debugging). I'll have another version up tonight (Pacific time).
OK, Samsung and LG support should work for real this time. I was missing a couple of DLLs that are required for native access on those devices. Please try again.
Adding of new search options (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) coming soon. Please feel free to suggest search engine options that you'd like to have built-in to the app. (For example, Baidu perhaps?)
doesn't work with Lg Optimus 7
doesn't work with HD2
Ouch... the LG should have worked but I can't really test. An HD2 (running WP7) should be functionally identical to an HD7, which definitely works.
Any chance you guys could describe the error you're getting? I'll need to find somebody with anything other than an HD7 to test on other devices.
Note that the app won't actually do anything until/unless you hit the Save button on the bottom bar. Just changing the option in the drop-down then pressing Back will have no effect (if that's what you're seeing).
Don't work in Samsung Omnia 7.
This is the error at the launch :
Unable to get current provider!
System.OutOfMemoryException:

That's all ... =)
Of all the exceptions I wasn't expecting, OutOfMemeory is the one I was expecting least... ;-) I mean, I'm trying to read the contents of a single string in a single registry value. The program's memory usage should be measured in KB, most likely.
Anyhow, thanks for the info! I'll look into this when I get home tonight.
Oddly enough, this is not in a Samsung-specific API. It's part WindowsCERegistry, which is read-only but should be cross-platform. It's also not the first time that the program calls a registry read function (although it might be the first call to GetStringValue).
Would you be willing to run a XAP with a bunch of extra debugging messages enabled to try and nail down the location of the issue?
Hi,
tested on Samsung Omnia 7:
1. Changed to bing search
2. Press 'Save' button
3. Application exits at
Code:
SamsungInterop.IHybridInterface_FCRProxy.RegistrySetString()
There's no exception thrown at
Code:
SamsungRegistry.SetStringValue()
tested on my optimus 7, the only provider that i've in drop-down menu is bing? how to select google?
thank!

have the same problem
Sorry about the delay folks, it's been a busy weekend.
Currently the app only lets you switch between alread-installed providers. In most cases that will be one of either Bing or Google, plus the built-in Bing app (always available).
I'm adding support for putting in more providers. The app will include some pre-defined options (both Google and Bing, probably Yahoo, other suggestions are welcome) and the ability to create your own (maybe you *really* love the Firefox Start page?)
I was planning on nailing cross-device support first, but that's being surprisingly difficult at the moment (I may be able to get Samsung support by incorporating a different library than the one I've been using) so I haven't been focusing on this feature, but the code is halfway written already and could be finished quickly.
Could sure use Google search, bing sucks bad
Can only choose between bing app or search.
Doens't find the google app for some reason, it is installed though.
Using Mozart T-Mo Germany 16GB.
@megaprime: Sorry about the delays, but I'll have an update with the ability to add Google (or other options) soon.
@Aerox: It's not currently possible to have it start a different app, such as Google. It can either start the built-in Bing app, or go to a website (such as m.google.com). As I told megaprime, I'll have an update with the ability to add such sites ASAP.
Also, sounds like it works (so far as it's currently able to) on the HTC Mozart? That's good.

[APP] Prepay Widget TESTERS NEEDED!

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:
beautiful app idea. how does this work ?
It uses free USSD request. Numbers like *100#...
hmnn.. it seems that it wont be able to update on Optus Australia. As you need to send sms to 9999 for usage details ! do you have anything similar to implemented in this or just the USSD commands ?
This is a great idea, i could have used something like this when i was on pay as you go. Nice work!
Ok the widget appearing is blank ? Is this normal i am using it with a USSD command on another phone with which the network supports.
Which phone? This is just the kind of issue i want to fix!
European SGS2 Stock XWKF3 rooted, blank too. (tested on free version)
Are you sure you got a ussd reply?
Yes I'm sure, I received the reply, made 2 indicators and I'm viewing the differences (green/red) between two calls.
Please send a log using Write to developer in Settings. Don't forget to add a description as the logs can be deceptively empty.
is it internationally?
You just need to know the codes for your operator ...
I have updated the app - please let me know if this fixes your issues!
Fixed all issues for me. Got the full version... great app!
Works great now, thanks, buying the full too.
Great! If you have suggestions, do let me know.
Hi guys. Im back to bother you about stability
Any issues to report before we start working on a new build?
Working great here, thanks.
Any issues? Suggestions?

[SDK] Promocodes for your app

Hello!
I'm software developer from Russia, and made one very popular app in local market. Very soon I realized that I need an ability to give licensed version of app for my friends or reviewers or someone else.
Unfortunately AppHub doesn't provide such functionality(private distribution is pain in ass), so I created a webservice for myself.
After two days I realized that it may be useful for other developers, so here it is:
promo.g33k.ru (here I wanted to post url, but I can't due to low post count. You may find it in my profile->interests)
Now it has:
- JSON/SDK with RSA1024/SHA1 sign for additional security checks
- Binary SDK available
- Russian localization(if anyone cares ) (btw, if you can help translating to other language(s) or correct english misspellings - i will appreciate this).
Now this service works in beta mode.
So for developers I have two questions:
1) Is such service useful for you?
2) How to develop it further, in which way?
Not yet clear
I am sorry, but after reading your post and also checking your website I am still not sure what you offer. For me there is just not enough information to understand and then judge the usefulness of your service.
Maybe you could give a step-by-step scenario: Dev does this, then interested user does that, dev then this ...
Ok, I'll try to describe a little more details:
1) Developer wants to add capability of promo codes in his app(to give some specific users full licensed app).
The first problem is that developer need his own server for checking of promo code validity(hardcoding is not an option, of course).
2) So, Developer registers in my service, add his app's guid to his app list and create a promo code for specific app via web.
3) Developer adds support for promo codes in his app by:
a) adding an text box for user to enter promode
b) adding a web request to specific URL for promocode activation
c) adding to his license check web request for checking is current user activated a promo code.
Benefits for developer:
- Add support for promo codes without owning a server.
- Simple way to give full version of program to friends
Benefits for users:
- User may found promo code for specific app somewhere and use it to get full version of app in simple manner.
Benefits for reviewers/portals:
- Developers can easily give promo code for reviewing purpose or as giveaway for news post.
Clear now
Thanks for the additional info, now it's clear
Well yes, sounds useful. Properly implemented is probably really easier than Microsoft's "closed beta" mechanism, and of course can be used for other, non-beta apps as well.
The icing on the cake would be a "frame application" as sample code that basically does nothing more than asking for a promo code and then check against the list of valid codes on your server.
Sounds intresting but how do you ensure security?
chabun, I thought about security and situation is same as with default checking for trial - there is no security Man-in-the-Middle and direct cracking of xap will work, and there is no way out. I could use RSA signing for MitM, but still cracking of xap is very easy option today, so no one really interested will try to use MitM. When WP8 SDK will be out(I believe it will be in several weeks) - some developers may implement trial checks in native code - this will be much harder to crack.
As for server part there are following possible problems
- App's ID squatting(same as domain, someone else could reserve developer's app's guid). Don't know yet what to do with this, may be think about it later when this happens?
- Promocode's for App ID bruteforce - could be easily avoided via server throttling, if this ever happens - i'll add such checks
- Server DDoS - every webmaster's nightmare, I hope this never happens(or my Amazon AWS will pour my purse empty
rbrunner7, nice idea, I'll add a sample app as soon as possible on site.
This looks like an interesting concept
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yop, you can never avoid direct cracking... However, RSA signing would be good I'd say as it will avoid MitM - with MitM you could create simple tools which can be used by every noob outhere. Cracking xaps requires some skill and it will need an unlocked WP7 as well.
I can see this working i have been thinking about something similar also. You can encrypt the data on device before sending it off to the cloud, you can than verify the encrypted data with a password and compare it to the codes registered on the server. Than link a code to a certain device id (once the code becomes 'registered') if a certain code is already coupled to a deice id and the device is not the same than the app will jump back into trial mode. Otherwise one can use the paid mode.
This can defenetly work and will prevent reselling th codes. Although it requires a server. And users can still hack/patch the app ofcourse but that will require an unlocked device so I should not worry to much about it.
Also to prevent spoofing you can frequently check with the server if this device is legitetmately registered.

That's what I thought of... private/public key
chabun, so, for example, how about following scenario:
for each developer server creates public/private key pair.
when checking license on server: if success server encodes userid with developer private key
when checking license in app: server response decoding via public key(hardcoded in app) and comparing to userId. if ok -> licensed.
You might want to ask @ngreader guys on twitter. They do have this concept implemented in their app.

I'm not sure if it would be good to encode the request to the server as well but otherwise it sounds really cool now... I'll use this service when I need this (and tell my friends about it)

Greetings everyone!
Today I updated promo.g33k.ru, now it has:
- more detailed about page,
- SDK now includes RSA1024/SHA1 sign for additional security checks
- Binary SDK available
- Russian localization(if anyone cares ) (btw, if you can help translating to other language(s) or correct english misspellings - i will appreciate this).
- Many minor bugfixes.
So, from now this service works in beta mode

Hey diverofdark
It would be nice if you update the first post in the thread with all information. That's the way it's usually done in the forum.
A possible user (here dev ) can read it and without having to browse the whole thread, he can use your promocode service...
Thanks for mentioning it, I updated the first post.

Checking if App Steals Data

Hey everyone,
I think I'm in the right section to ask this question, if not, a moderator can place it in the correct place.
I recently had the bootloop problem with my LG G4, so I flashed it back to Lolipop to where it will only use 1 CPU which allowed me to use my phone again thankfully. Then I recently found a method to where I can unlock 3 more cores to make the phone faster(the remaining 2 are the defects of the bootloop according to the author). I had to root my phone in order to install this app. The link to this info is herecan't link it so if you search on youtube: LG G4 - ILAPO - 4CORE FIX - All Core Activation, it should be at top).
My problem is trusting it, I did install it and it worked as planned, I have 4 CPUs running which is great, but the permissions it requires are:
-Read phone status and identity
-Approximate location(network based) Precise location(GPS)
-Read your Web bookmarks and history
-Modify or delete the contents of your SD card
-Find accounts on the device
-Full network access
-Retrieve running apps, run at startup
-Draw over other apps
-Install shortcuts
My question is simple, is there a way to know if the app is retrieving my personal information? Like is there a reader that can read the packets it "might" be sending? Info im worried about is passwords, emails, contacts, money, etc.
Thank you!!!!
@freefora11 - I have created a new thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/ilapo-infinite-loop-auto-power-off-fix-t3404421
You do not have to worry, since I have created an app for my friends and he suggested to implement ads in order to further support the development.
ESET Antivirus does delete the file since it contains a variant of AdDisplay.AirpushP
Displaying Ads in your own App is your own choice. Using an unsecure framework to annoy users everywhere while driving, texting, etc with push ads is evil.
@f1n4rf1n - Have you got a push advertisement while driving?
