I am developing a PHP app that runs on an XDA2 PocketPC. It is for use by field engineers to book themselves to jobs whilst on-site, and it will update our internal stock system etc.
The need has arisen for signature capture, whereby a signature area is embedded into a web page and when the client signs the screen, it is transferred safely into a database at our offices.
I have looked at various possibilities but they all seem to rely on ASP/VBSCRIPT.
Has anyone ever come across something that will integrate with my PHP web app?
In a nutshell: Signature region in web page, user signs screen,signature data sent to a SQL database back at base.
Any ideas? :shock:
Hi limepickle
The webbrowser in WM2003 is really quite primitive in comparison to it's desktop counterparts these days. For that reason, i really do not think that you will find a way to do this in the browser.
I write software similar to that which you are talking about using .NET and i've considered using web pages once or twice for simpler apps, but signature capture was always the sticking point which I could never think of a way to acheive...
Sorry to disappoint you :roll:

your gonna get stuck with a php version since the pocket IE isnt that great,
perhaps you can find a flash based signature capture and has flash on the pocket pcs?
this is our solution:
i created a custom application to do this for our company,
its developed using the OpenNet Compact Framework.
its a fullscreen signature app and when the rep is ready to upload the signature they click the send button that transfers it to a ASP.NET web service. this then saves the image as Jpeg to a shared folder and also to SQL for archiving,

Yes, I think you're right, Flash will probably be the way to go, seeing as everyone seems to to be .NET / ASP crazy!!!!

I froze it for now with Titanium.
But AdvanceS seems to be part of lidroid Mod which is probably included with Omega and other ROMS and is NOT out of Google Play.
Seems to be a config-tool for SystemUI. I don't used it so far ...
Therefore I think it will reactivated when I flash a new version of the ROM.

Hmmmm.......I think I will notify the mods about this and let them get to the bottom of it
Edit...done.
OP Was this mod something you got off XDA? If so could you point me to it. I know of the mod and I've used it in my own roms but like others have said, It shouldn't be uploading your IMEI number anywhere. If it is, you might have gotten a hacked version of the mod with maliciousness code. If the source is XDA please let me know ASAP so we can look into it. If it's not from XDA then there really isn't much we can do about it

Hmm, it seems NOT inside my Omega Package.
But I never installed any apps from other locations than XDA or google play.
I will try to find the app in the files i got on my harddisk ...
The app is named "com.lidroid.settings" when I see it right in Titanium
It maintains a database "telocation.db" ... the content seems to be chinese :S
I exported the content for further investigation and will uninstall and delete that crap from my phone ...
Hope that droidwall has blocked the network access :S

Info - im assuming omegarom uses 23 toggle mod from lidroid - that app is the options app, deleting it will disable 23 toggle customization
and the app is called LidroidSettings.apk - its in v38 which i have

I checked it with "LogMan logcat" from google play ...
It was pretty lucky that I tested this tool ...
If you want to check your phone you can start LogMan right after a phone reboot ...

The apk for Lidroid is in /system/framework
I don't have my GS3 with me today (I also have the mod) so I can't check. I'll shoot a PM over to the Dev who created Lidroid and ask him
the other app it uses is Quicksettings.apk (I believe that's the name off the top of my head)
I don't have the device on my hand to check, but i guess it's because of the Telocation service, i used to hide this tab on my ports, but i didn't remove the services, because i tough it uses the local database.
Anyway i will repack a new one asap.
Edit : i repacked a new one (attached), i removed all telocation dependencies, i had to remove others tab for safety.

In my opinion no need to worry, this service was included in all Lidroid Roms since GS2 days for Chinese users only, i can't confirm that Lidroid save any information remotely.
I need to check the telocation sources, this may give us more information about this issue.

Lidroid uses this class to collect stats about his users build, this classe call a remote service and save the installed build number for each device ID.
For stats purposes? maybe, i think he wouldn't logged it if he want to use it for bad purposes, Lidroid is the only one who can give us more lights about this.
Anyway the new repacked one is safe to use, i will update my toggles threads asap.
Thanks Wanam and all others involved in resolving this :thumbup:

I've made some modifications to drivers/usb/otg/msm_otg.c in order to support usb host mode for the Nexus 4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181820
So far, I've been building off Franco's sources, since I was using his kernel anyway. But this has its problems. I'm not looking to have to constantly keep up with Franco's nightlies. A good amount of posts from people are asking if I could compile a different kernel with the otg modifications, or if they could flash a different kernel on top. Franco's been getting requests to implement the modifications, and I didn't mean to put any onus on him.
I've been trying to do some research on creating a kernel module that could somehow hijack/hook/wrap the static functions I've made changes to in msm_otg.c. This is all way, way over my head though, and I could really use some help here. I've done some reading so far, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere. I got some good help on IRC, but am stuck again.
To get things rolling, I've manually found the address from /proc/kallsyms of static function msm_chg_detect_work to be 0xc03b4950. I'm trying to make a jump from here to my own function. I was provided make_jump_op for this purpose, although I have no understanding of how it works. Here is more or less what I've got so far (relevant bits..):
Code:
// max distance: 0x02000000
unsigned int make_jump_op(unsigned int src, unsigned int dst) {
unsigned int o;
int distance;
distance = (int)( ((long long)dst) - (((long long)src) + 8) );
if (distance > 32*1024*1024 || distance < -32*1024*1024) {
printk(KERN_ERR "distance too big!\n");
return 0; // crash, BOOOOM!
}
distance = distance / 4; // read: ">>2"
o = *((unsigned int *)(&distance)); // is there a proper way to do this, too?
o = (o & 0x00ffffff) + 0xea000000;
return o;
}
static void msm_chg_detect_work_MOD(struct work_struct *w) {
printk(KERN_INFO "TEST\n");
}
static int ziddey_otg_init(void) {
unsigned int *origcall;
printk(KERN_INFO "Loading kernel module '%s'\n", MODULE_NAME);
// 0xc03b4950: msm_chg_detect_work
origcall = (unsigned int *) 0xc03b4950;
preempt_disable();
*origcall = make_jump_op(0xc03b4950, (unsigned int)(void*)msm_chg_detect_work_MOD);
preempt_enable();
printk(KERN_INFO "Loaded kernel module '%s'\n", MODULE_NAME);
return 0;
}
Can anyone make sense of this? I get an Oops error and kernel panic.
Thank you

Can be downloaded in Xposed Download tab.
HOW IT WORKS and WHAT FOR?
KitKat No SD card access
If SD card write access not enabled, then no any application without root permission can operate with files on SD Card.
KitKat WITH SD Card access
Once mod is enabled - any application without root access can operate with files on SD, including move, copy, delete.

Did not know that there was already such a fix available. Just found this one and since it is activated I have much less lags. Seems there were many apps trying to access Sdcard causing lags. Awesome!

oops. tried to search something with "SD" word in repository and didn't find anything.
thought nobody still implemented such mod.
Just downloaded module, decompiled and compared with my version.
I think my method works much more correct and less battery power consumptive. I only hooking internal android packages at startup, while module above doing this with every application.

No. Mine gives extra battery power
The funny thing is that both are 99% the same, the only difference is appendInt()

12k downloads and no any complain
Just bought a sd card 64 gb samsung EVO , and i have no problem with full acces , copy/erase/moving apps , without installing this module , so , for what is useful this mod ???
Doesn't work for me :^(
Neither this nor the other xposed app mentioned in this thread work for me. Installed the app, marked it active, rebooted (just like I do with any xposed module) and still my apps can't touch the SD space.
Any thoughts or ideas anyone?
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
SM-P600
Android 4.4.2
Build KOT49H.P600UEUCND2
i face also the same problem. Xperia Z2 here (latest version, Rooted), i have installed / reboot the module, but doesn't let me to move apps to my SD.
Is there any viable solution?
Ty in advance
Doesn't work on Note 3 AT&T.

@Falseclock, same here.....using Xolo Q3000 device with Stock Rooted Android v4.4.2. used this app. (i just hope this is not deemed off-topic here....)
i'm trying to use onandroid v9.51 to create nandroid backups while the device is running. see pics of command output and also platform.xml.
i even tried making changes to /mnt/media_rw like in the pic below (right). still, no go!
any idea why the file system remains read-only? please suggest a workaround or alternate methods. i'm not knowledgeable enough.
many thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:
============== FIXES ==============
1. https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/81970/
Head: All service returning START_STICKY do not restart after it is being killed.
Symptom: if you will start heavy application (game, video encode/decode viewing or bad application which occupy lot of resources), android can kill background service, for example Skype or WhatsApp, but will never restart services when resources become free. Need to start application again or even full phone restart.
Affected version: 4.4, 4.4.1, and 4.4.2.
2. https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/98918/
Head: If all activities of a given stack were finishing, no activity was marked as front-of-task.
Symptom: if recents has several apps running, clicking BACK button fast to close current activity will bring to front another activity.
Affected version: 4.4.*
Mod does not have any settings activity. Just enabled it in Xposed menu.
INSTRUCTIONS:
if you get boot-loop
1. after phone start go to Xposed and immediately uncheck module.
2. issue command adb logcat > logcat.txt
3. phone will reboot again soon
4. upload logcat somewhere and post link here.
5. After next restart mod will be disabled.
6. Wait when I will publish correction.

Fix working on my S5 Android 4.4.2
Thanks!
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hey there! Thank you! This module doesn't change the behaviour of the Google Play Music app when you swipe it from recents on my phone. I've installed it on my phone, and music still stops after clearing the app from recents.
Also, the last few comments on the Google Code issue tracker page say "This has been fixed in 4.4.3. Yay!" and "I just tested on 4.4.4, and can confirm that this appears to be fixed."...
But I'm running 4.4.4 on my Nexus 5, and Play Music still behaves that way. What gives? Any insight?

That almost did it!! You're on the right track though, amazing!!
Now this happens:
1) Open Music & start song playback
2) Open recents, swipe Music away, then tap Home button.
3) Music keeps playing! (YAY!)
4) Open music app again, but do nothing in it. (Notification icon is removed, but the notification icon was never displayed when the app is open, so it's normal behaviour)
5) Tap Recent Tasks, music stops instantly, even without swiping the app away, notification icon stays gone.
6) (interestingly, at this stage, tapping the app's recent thumbnail doesn't open the app, nor does the Back button)
Problem is a step 5.
It's pretty cool to see this problem get attention, though.
