I already use DataDefender from Authentec. I was just curious if anyone else knows of any apps that use the fingerprint reader.
There was much discussion about this when the Atrix first came out. What I gather is that Moto has an API for accessing the hardware, but devs aren't interested in implementing it for a single phone. Personally I would love lastpass to use a finger swipe instead of having to type my master password all the time.
Authentec recently released the SDK for the fingerprint reader, doesn't mean anything will come of it but it is out there at least. Possibly some dev team could work something into a ROM or at least 3rd party app. Here's to wishful thinking!
Unfortunately, the SDK is pretty limited. I was really hoping there might be some more data out there than what Authentec published. There wasn't any data about the enrollment process, which doesn't bode well for an AOSP based ROM (like CyanogenMod).

It's a shame, it's one of the great features of this phone. I hope the atrix dev team figures it out for CM7.

1 is for custom screen lock.
2 is for locking specific apps.
3, 4, and 5 are not FP readers and don't scan anything.

I have just bought one for my dad, who needs my help quite frequently for basic functions. Is there an app out there, that I can use to see and control his screen. The only simple one I have come across is webkey, but that will only work for rooted tabs. Being remote, it is going to be a real challenge to root this, so just curious if anyone can point me to a good app for remotely managing the app. Thanks a lot.

This one also says 'It needs a rooted device'
remote access to unrooted Android devices
Unless the stock rom has remote access backed in then you will not be able to do this without a rooted device. We use Bomgar where we work and before Android and iOS we used to remote to windows phones all the time. Now the system file on these are more locked down on stock. If you search bomgar and ios you will see that Bomgar has a patition out there for users to sign. Right now only providers can use there software to rmote to devices. Maybe this will chamge in the future but it depends onthe rom and who is selling the device.
Being a techincal security guru, I like the more locked down phones, but it does come at a cost. As these roms and devices mature more, I'm sure a dev will figure out a way to do this without compromising the security of the device.

I'm working on a JellyBean port of Cornerstone. It is currently building with CM10, but does not work very well at all. I'm not sure if this has to do with the resolution of my tablet, 1900x1200 TF700T, which I tried to account for, but may have screwed up. I could use some help on this, as I have very little time and not much experience with building Android from source. Specifically, any advice on toolchains/testing code without needing to do an entire build would be appreciated. What would be more appreciated is if I could get some help with the project itself to get it to a stable place, and perhaps to include a path for continuous updates with as new releases come out.
https://github.com/emil10001/cornerstone
My current build environment is an Ubuntu VM, just using the commandline. I write the code and try a build. It usually fails and I go in and fix the errors that it gives me. This process means that I spend about 1-10 minutes coding and 2 hours waiting for it to build and fail. At present, it's actually building just fine, but it isn't working very well.
I really like the idea of Cornerstone and would like to see it working on newer builds. I am also reaching out to the Cornerstone Google Group, but they have been fairly silent for months. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/cornerstone-dev/Gz345pbd-co
Thanks,
John
I did talk with them a while back and the did say they're working on updating the codebase to support jellybean.
I had a quick glance at your fork.
This way its really hard to test, you could better just fork frameworks/base from android and then modify the files instead of the copying the changed files.
That would make it easier to test, view what changed, etc.
You could also use gerrit.
mmm path/to/it will do a quick rebuild.
I've had the apps up on github.com/sgt7 but they haven't been updated since way too long, will update them when I find some time.

Thanks for the tips!
The reason that I am keeping them separate is mainly for sanity, I wanted to try to keep the cornerstone stuff outside the main android code so that I can keep the android codebase relatively up-to-date, and also very obvious about what's a part of cornerstone for anyone that wants to grab the source from me. I'm also wondering if it's possible to pull part of this, say frameworks/base, into Eclipse (without it taking a day and a half to build the workspace).
Also, with gerrit, I wanted to keep this separate from the CyanogenMod stuff, mainly due to the comments that Dianne Hackborn made on G+ to Steve Kondik. I have a feeling that that's what killed the project.
I'd also really like to see how this works on a 1200x800 device, since that's what Cornerstone was originally designed for. I'm thinking that I screwed up the data in the xml resources, and that that's a big reason as to why it looks so funky on my device.

Just checkout a new branch with the modified code, that's what version control is for.
Also, i believe it should be fine now if there is some sort of a whitelist implementation, and only few apps are supported by it. (*le Samsung Mutli Window)

What happens when you try to use an unsupported app anyway? I have Note 2 with the multiview hack and every app I've tried with it has worked, though I've never tried anything like say Angrybirds, just google voice and Trillian and stuff like that.
Is this still something that you are trying to work on? GOD I would love cornerstone on my tf700!!!
Need some help testing/coding ect? I would love to help, not an advanced dev but working on my android chops daily.
I am available to help with testing.

Hi everyone
Just wanted to ask, what are your must have apps?
I need some ideas for new apps. The only apps (except the XKCD viewer) I could think of are listed in the core apps and I don't feel like joining these projects just yet.
So if you have any ideas or if you know some Android or iOS apps which could be ported leave a comment.
1. An IM client like Empathy
2. A Wallbase application/or anything that fetches nice HD wallpapers.
3. An application to watch anime
I had a similar question earlier, you might be able to mine something from those that answered
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105374
The main app most people wanted was What's App, but I saw that some one else has been developing a client for it.

What about a sportstracker app? Endomondo is awesome....something like that or a client for endomondo.

It is my firm belief that we should have an APP INSTALL client that seamlessly installs apps FIRST! Then let the DEVS roll out the suggestions. What's the format anyway? not APK I would guess. I think a nice APK converter would work nicely then.

- What the heck is an APK? (That's only for Android and has nothing todo with linux, yes I said it android has nothing todo with linux )
- There are many ways to install an app.
-> you can install a .deb file
-> add a ppa our use the official repos and install via consol
-> build the binarys from source....
Currently someone is working on an "app store" but this is not a priority since ubuntu touch is still in pre alpha.
P.S. I am a DEV and I need some Ideas that's why I started the thread.
Some way to access Pandora One. I listen to some 300 hours a month, so it's definitely a requirement, not a 'want'.
Statement form pandoras website
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative. ....

A Pandora client sounded like a good idea but "this" makes it rather impossible
Hope you'll find some dev's located in the us that can help you with that.
I'm personally worried about not having an app to track and control my phone in the event it's lost or stolen. An Ubuntu touch UI for Prey or something to that effect would be awesome.

Hi Guys
I've been developing a http based Server Software that uses an android device as a single purpose device.. say an input terminal. So I developed a very simple app just for this input purpose (including some data from sensors on the device). It aslo loads a web view for a little html banner.
So it's really simple and the design is to basically turn an android device into a single purpose hardware... and with that said i really dont need 90% of what's installed and running on android, I dont need complicated launchers, and i DO need to kind of "lock the device down" to my app only (i guess kiosk like?)
I basically need the hardware and the OS to run my app.
if possible make everything as lightweight as possible (again as i dont need most of the android features)
and I would love it if my app can run on top of everything and at every start up (it can even pretend to be the SHELL or OS on top of Android OS, or kind of like that approach)..
So yeh, I'm hoping you guys can give me some advise/suggestions as to how best to approach this? (honestly i'm fairly new to android as a whole)
Things off the top of my head are:
1) Custom ROM like really plain/lightweight w/ lock down features <-- is there even any rom like this? or could i ask someone to code this for me?
2) Root, SuperSU, and xPosed Framework plugins and tweaks ? <-- i've not tried xPosed Framework and Im not sure if it's meant to be, or good for, my purpose.
3) Use an APP that can pretty much make a Kiosk out of the phone, w/ my app running permanently? <-- i've seen one kiosk app www.kioware.com but it's crazy expensive and i guess a bit of an overkill to what i need.. Perhaps there's a cheaper more simple kiosk app you can recommend? or perhaps an opensource project i can tinker with?
Would really appreciate your thoughts on this..
Thank you very much!
A common request
Can anyone direct me to a thread where this issue is resolved? It seems more complicated than it seems at first glance.
I'm wondering what people think is the best ROM (no gapps) for this phone today, and how that's likely to evolve over time.
Do any ROMs stand out in terms of features, performance, or battery life? Are there any ROMs that have significant problems?
Are any ROMs "official", or likely to be? Should that be a concern or factor?
Also I'm looking to set this up no gapps, so micro-g integration is a factor. It seems like the Magisk module should work well enough with most ROMs, but I'm new to this part.
Bump. Anyone…?
"Best" is such a personal thing that I can only tell you that I'm using Resurrection Remix and am extremely pleased; lots of customization, stability, Slim Recents, and no Gapps are what make it perfect for me.
It's the first ROM I tried on this phone, and it works so well for me that I'm not (currently) considering trying something else...although my curiosity and general nature (see my sig) may lead me to trying out a different ROM...eventually, maybe.
- Resurrection Remix has a long history, but who knows for sure about developement for this phone?
- Feels nice and snappy to use, but I have no Gapps and I've only installed a few (5 or 6) apps.
- Battery life is great, for me, I don't use my phone much and go 3-4 days with still 80% left.
- Not interested in Google or microG, so can't speak to that.

So far I'm liking RR, but IIUC there's no plans for that to be official for this phone.
Previously, I loved CR-Droid, but on this phone it's missing a lot. IIUC, there's a plan to make that official, but I haven't seen any progress for a few months.

I'm curious, how does that work? I'm new to de-Googled phones, and I thought microG was kind of necessary to get most apps working. It certainly seems important for apps that use location, eg weather and mapping.

I do my best to never allow anything to know my location. I use Open Street Maps in offline mode for maps, my weather app uses my zipcode, etc.
I'm totally ungoogled on my phone. F-droid apps only.
EDIIT: Preemptive correction. Not true about F-droid apps only, or even FOSS only. Obviously Brave Browser, for instance, is neither.

Haven't had interest in microG in years, and don't have any info about what is or is not required for location or notifications. I have no need for either. I use my phone for calls, texts, and, very rarely, web access via Brave, Bromite, or Fennec—that's it. If need to look at a map, I have it already downloaded is OSM.

I use a dumb-phone for calls and texts. I use a smart-phone as a pocket-size portable computer.
Which custom rom did you end up trying? Im also on the same boat as you in terms of wanting to degoogle. I just successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device via magisk. Now I'm trying to figure out the next step in getting rid of gapps and having microG in place of play services. The user fulalas created a debloat magisk module, and if that removes core gapps I'm wondering if implementing that and then installing microG will be the solution for me
