AuthenTec Releases Fingerprint SDK for Android / Atrix

http://www.authentec.com/News/ViewN...gerprint-Sensor-Software-Development-Kit.aspx
Good news for people looking to develop for the Atrix fingerprint sensor!

that's awesome. I'll send that to [email protected] maybe it would help with WL

We already have an App in the market that uses Fingerprint scanner to lock apps etc.! It's called DataDefender!

Hecks yea. Putting the fingerprint scanner on a CM Atrix will be that much easier.
And here is the SDK so you don't have to create a stupid account to download!
*mod edit* - link removed at the request of developer. Please register if you'd like to use the SDK.

Just realized that the App "DataDefender" that supports Fingerprint scanner is made by AuthenTec themselves. That explains that!

HMMM... This will be great for GibberTalk!
Update: the use of this app is for all future fingerprint readers as well as long as the framework exists. To use it, you check if the framework exists with an existing command, and to verify, that 'swipe to continue' message pops up.

Great success!
Now i have a weekend project to start messing around.

Yes! It's about time. I thought the scanner was only good for unlocking the phone
It eats gingerbread!... It eats cherry π!... Its an Alien! no it's just my Atrix.

Code:
private void setFPvari() {
if (AuthentecMobile.AM2ClientLibraryLoaded()) {
/* Fingerprint software framework is present */
/* May proceed with the fingerprint security */ }
else
{ /* Fingerprint software framework is not present… */ /* Make other arrangements for security */ }
is my code (its copied straight out of the docs that they provide) and it is giving me the old Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method AM2ClientLibraryLoaded() from the type AuthentecMobile error. I've imported everything I need into my class.
Update: Apparently they don't mention that you have to instantiate it... the example they show shows it as static.
Make sure you instantiate it with context as the parameter.

I'm just glad to see that it has more uses than just unlocking the phone. Something like that can be very versatile for security.

Please note that prior to release YOU MUST GET YOUR APP APPROVED BY AUTHENTEC otherwise they will not grant you permission to release it with the library included... then you hit some kind of infringement

This will hopefully make it easier to work in [the fingerprint sensor] with CM7 (I haven't clone the newest from the ATRIX dev team in to my working directory yet, so fingerprint could be fixed since I last tried it). Though licensing will be a pain.
I will see if I can work this in and offer a pull request. I hope its works like we would want it.

Read my above post. Yes, I think it will he but I don't have my laptop with the source code in front of me and so I cannot say for sure.

They were saying in IRC that they are trying to build this in to CM7.

it'd be cool if they could have the sensor work to secure individual apps in CM7, like messaging etc.

AuthenTEC might take you to court if you build it into cm7... :/ licensing is free as long as it meets their security check (no misuse of fingerprint app).

Well, will building it into CM7 be misusing the framework? I doubt it. While I don't know the company offhand, I wouldn't be surprised if some of their development team is waiting for cyanogenmod for their Atricies

Yes, I'm sure. But it must meet security requirements AuthenTec is all about security, not just biometrics.
Anyways, the Atrix has a built in secret part of the fingerprint framework that I haven't seen before:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is from their Advanced SDK (that I have ) when you use get and store credential... after using it it's pretty confusing (order of steps is really weird) so I'm not surprised only the index finger works for normal scanning.
These images (swipe to continue, swipe a finger to save data to) are located inside of the framework.
And your building into CM7 would always pop up the 'swipe to continue'. I doubt they would release the source (as putting it in to the framework probably cost licence fees to motorola) because it would be a security risk... you'd have to use the SDK, and there is no way to authenticate without the popup (although the moto lock screen does it)

Would like to follow up with a mention that you need an internet permission (I think cause TSM has to validate the key... or something?) that the docs don't mention at all.

DroidTools - The best android utility available for Mac, period.

About
A little about how this app came to be! It’s really quite simple, regular users shouldn’t have to fumble with the terminal to get a custom device experience.
We quickly realized after getting a boat load of Nexus devices that flashing via terminal with all our specific tweaks took too long. Don’t get the wrong idea we love the terminal, but we just thought, for the people out there who love their Android device and may not love code there must be a better way. We started coding, and DroidTools was born. It’s simple, easy to use, and good looking.
DroidTools is an Android utility that provides the same capabilities you'd find using ADB terminal commands available from Google, the difference being this application presents a more user friendly experience for the somewhat novice user. (Research still required) to understand what and why for example you'd wish to flash a different baseband ect. This utility doesn't have embedded phone home capabilities, and this application doesn't store ANY device specific information. If you wish to use the integrated wifi capabilities DroidTools will store only the IP address of your device to attempt connection (at the time of your choosing), and can be reset at anytime. We developed this application because we simply wanted to contribute to the Android community, and in that spirit we've made this application available at no cost to you.

[APP] Floating Example

There are a lot of apps coming which float above other apps like Chatheads for Facebook. So I made an example app showing how they work.
It is basically a view in a WindowManager which is inflated in a Service. With a few more tweaks, it can be made to change positions on the fly.
I made this for API 10+ but it should work with lower versions just fine.
Here is how it looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is just an example. The possibilites are countless.
Hope it helps developers create other apps like Floating Notifications and such.
Full sources can be found on my Github here.
Sample app can be found here.

You can try out my Floating Music Widget. It works with PowerAmp.(if not, PM me and I'll make it work).
To the app author - this isn't really a good example. It doesn't explain what does methods of WindowManager do, why we need to call them. It doesn't explain the LayoutParams parameters. For example, you could say that different types of windows allow different visibility - for example, that TYPE_PHONE is OK for most of floating windows, and TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR can be used for something that has to overlay everything, even status bar and lockscreen.
Your code, however, also has flaws. For example, unused constant. Programming newbie can think that it is necessary to make floating windows. And handling general Exception is a bad practice. Newbie can think that floating window can throw ANY exception. Instead, you should catch IllegalArgumentException and explain the user that it is because sometimes View gets detached from Window BEFORE touch event handling occurs.

Jsut another example for such an app with a floating pPoint.

Yes, you are correct about the unused constant. I was going to add a feature of putting it into the status bar by preference to be accessed from there, but in the end decided against it. Hence, the unused constant.
As for the explaining part for newbies, I didn't think it necessary since its not at all hard. Reading the docs would be enough to handle this.
Anyways thanks for pointing this out. :good:

[Q] WhatchON

Hey guys!
I have a qiestion about WhatchON.
I have a VIVAX TV but WO doesn't have that TV.
I was wondering if I can manually insert IR codes.
I saw that feature on HTC One. In their application you can manually insert/scan code using remote.
I hope you understand me.

Here's the app I use, I don't think you can manually program the codes though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy
It's easy to set up and customise, and supports a wide range of products. Couldn't reccommend it enough!?????
If the above app doesn't support the device your trying to use, you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.control.samsung
I think this is more what your looking for, you can customise the IR codes to support your device. But it was a bit too involving for me and I prefer the first app I mentioned.
EDIT: Had a quick check and found this(did you mean Vimax):

No worries mate....
A while back I had a Teac TV and couldn't find the universal remote code for it. I found out it shared the same codes as certain LG models. Anyway I did a quick check for you, and apparently Vivax may share some of the IR codes as the brand Toshiba or Sanyo.
Have a check under Watchon again, and see if the Toshiba or Sanyo codes work for your TV?
Good luck.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I checked WatchOn and Smart remote. It have 40 codes for emerson but unfortunately they don't work. Thank you for your help.

Sorry man I edited my post. The emerson codes were for Vimax lol.
Vivax seem like a pretty obscure brand, I've never heard of them in Australia. There a little hard to find info for... I know this doesn't help, but if you've got the time you could try as many remotes(different brands) as you can until one hopefully works. In the mean time submit a support request for your tv on watchon if you haven't already. The first app I mentioned has a great support team and reply to emails in a very timely fashion.
I'm sorry thats all I can think of. Best of luck
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

After submitting a support request, here's the brands that may work for your Vivax:
Akura, Denver, Digitek, Fujicom, Prosonic.
Try them out and tell us if any of them work?
Full credit to Color Tiger, the devs behind the app: Smart IR Remote. If the above info worked, maybe you'd consider supporting them. I'm in no way affiliated with them, just pleased with their apps and support team.

That's unfortunate!
I'm not familiar with HTC's learning function but a IR learning function would be a great addition to the IR blaster, featured on our Samsung devices. Definitely an area that could have a meaningful improvement, especially for other's with obsucure or no name electronics brands.
Oh well, you can't always get what you want?.

[PROJECT] htc sense 6 - scene color xposed mod development [LOOKING FOR XPOSED DEVS]

hi
since some days i'm digging into decompiled apk's of sense 6 and found out how "scenes" work.
htc sense 6 introduced "scenes" containing a wallpaper and 4 color tones (actually it's more than 4 i found out).
i'm facing problems with some apk's i need to compile to get it working (got it partially working already).
looking for: a skilled and motivated xposed module developer to make it happen via xposed framework.
goal: have ability to change one scene's color codes on the fly or add a custom theme if possible.
please reply in this thread or send me a pm if you're intrested.
@ moderators: please don't delete this thread since it will be used for the release if it is successful.
feel free to move this thread to "Xposed Framework Modules" forum.
here a little teaser to show progress from my side:

alot could be possible and yes it would be rom-independent (if there are no major ui mods cooked in).
it all depends on me finding a great programmer to do the actual work.

Or... you could learn youself? Xposed ain't that hard to use with java, plus its certainly a lot easier than smali
Workflow for this through Xposed would be something like:
-> Hook methods for scenes/colours
-> Create a MainActivity for your app with whatever UI you want behind it (eg, preferences/preferencescreen, listview etc - probably preferences is easier since it allows a hassle free way to interface with SharedPreferences and store the chosen colours so the app remembers the colour chosen)
-> Say the user clicks on changing the colour for blinkfeed, this opens a Dialog Box with a load of RadioButtons for each different colour.
-> User clicks colour, dialog box dissapears and colour is written to sharedPreferences then you also write the colour back into the hooked method
And to finish:
-> User reboots phone & Xposed does its magic

Hey buddy!!
Xposed modding isn't terrible (if you have basic knowledge of Java- I'm a student and caught on pretty quickly to how it works)...
If I were you, I would learn some Java/Xposed modding and create this yourself. That way you could create what YOU have in mind without anything you don't want, yknow?
If you need any help, I'm sure there are resources and people willing to aid you, however not many would make this mod for you solely because you asked.
