Phone Profiler v1.0 betatest (a Cell based profile manager)

actually i wanted to make it exclusive to the german ppc welt community forum, but i figured this community is very cool too
from the readme:
Phone Profiler v1.0
-------------------
Phone Profiler detects the "Mobile Phone Cell" your PDA is currently logged into.
You can enter a different profile for every cell that gets applied once your PDA gets logged into
the cell.
Features:
-Volume Profile
-Phone Volume Profile
-Ability to execute a programm by entering a cell
-Start the Phone Profiler with windows
-Real C code (no mfc and no visual basic) for a fast programm with a low memory footprint
-Ability to work hidden in the background
-Pocket OOZ (2004)

this is the betea demo, you can only change the profile for the first cell(all others will work as default). haven't done any testing yet, but i've decided to go for an public beta test..
if you got ideas for improvements then please post it here i'm open for suggestions until the release
thanks

Hello Dutty,
Don't quite understand what this is used for, could you provide a bit more information. I downloaded and it advised it cannot find a cell, what cell is it looking for???

maybe it's only working on XDA2, the beta test just started..
it's like mini-gps for the S60, it uses the cell your mobile phone is logged into to create profiles (with volume, app to execute etc.) which will get automatically executed once you log into a cell.
miniGPS is a powerful tool to locate yourself in the GSM network. Its main goal is to perform defined actions based on your location taken from your network. It also shows the details of the network cell, to which your phone is logged in at the moment. At the current stage, due to some problems in SE firmware the program shows only cell id, but it seems to be good enough for performing events.

it's the first application on the xda that allows something like this if i'm right.

changelog:
+possiblity to execute a wav file, simply select wave file *.wav in the filedialog
+signal strength of cell visible in cell info dialog
+sending only one command at every intervall.
PUBLIC BETA 1.0

interesting software, i like it!
useful for day to day operations, leaving my GPS in my car
how much do you intend to sell it for?

This program sounds good mate.
If I understand this correctly I can basically set a profile for say the cell I would be connected to when I'm at work? so that the phone automatically goes to vibrate mode or something ?
I will give this a try when I get home.
Cheers
Neil

Great Program
Great program, worked perfectly on my XDAII in Ireland.
A couple of suggestions for future version that you might consider...
The ability to bind multiple cells to a single profile. While in my house my phone picks up 3 different cells depending on where in the house I am. If I could just have a single profile called home and then add cells to that it would be nice.
Create a Today Screen plugin to display the current profile/cell. I have software that runs in the icon bar at the top and the PP icon causes conflicts with this software.
Can't wait to see the final version of this, it's shaping up very well.

I can't get it working on my XDA 1 (AT&T A30.09 Rom) I am told no cell information available then after 60 seconds it gives an error message stating "Failed to set IoControl" if I OK that error then it throws up back up every 60 seconds when it scans.
If you want someone to test developments on the XDA1 I am more than willing to help out..
Cheers
Neil

probably it won't work on the XDA1 for now, i'll have to finish version 1.0 and then, if it's not working on XDA i'm going to find out why(are you running wm2k3 or ppc2002)
it should work on all xda2 so far it worked on all devices in the german ppc-welt community forums. can you give more informations about your device, what errors etc?
what kind of price would be ok? minigps is beeing sold for 20$ i think, but that's a little bit too much for a ppc software

yes this idea has already been suggested and i'm going to work on it tonight if i have free time!
i'll also add the ability to turn off the notifications popping up automatically.

Hi Dutty,
Hopefully you can get this working on XDA1 because its a great idea.
I'm running WM2003 on my XDA, the only error message I receive is the one posted earlier..
As i said, if you want anyone to test on XDA1 or provide any info just let me know.
Cheers
Neil

once i will release the official version, it contains logging options and stuff like that, we can go on with the xda1 testing!
in the meantime, enjoy this logfile from today
+added logging capabilities to control the network responses
+added 'assign group' dialog ( added possibility of assigning groups.. if you switch from one cell
to another and it's the same group, then there is no notify bubble displayed )
-added 'add group'
-added 'group list'
-added 'delete group'
-added 'assign group'
+added 'cell profile' dialog
-all cellprofile settings displayed there
-added group display
+redesigned cell options
-added 'Assign Group'
-added 'Cell Profile'
-removed all cell profile options
+possiblity to execute a wav file, simply select wave file *.wav in the filedialog
( alarm? possibilitiy.. now possible, that the device tells you when you have to drive slower etc.
or it could remind you with a note you've recorded that you have to do XXX once you enter your homezone )
+signal strength of cell visible in cell info dialog
+one command after init
+sending only one command at every intervall.
PUBLIC BETA 1.0 ----
notes:
if you switch to a new cell and both cell profiles got the same group then there will be no
notification (no icon AND no textbubble)
you can get the signal strength in the cell information dialog
don't enable the logfile if you don't need it, it could grow to the size of 1GB
if you disable popup notification then there will only be an icon displayed if you switch cell/group
if you're in hidden mode to get back into the options of the programm, just execute it again while it's running

Excellent idea! Seems pretty robust too for a beta. Well done.
Humble suggestion... Please see my post at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=38761#38761
Zendrui has achieved a lot in the profile management area and perhaps you can work with him to combine the great new functionality into his product rather than re-inventing the wheel or should I say, profile ...
qtzar said : "Create a Today Screen plugin to display the current profile/cell. I have software that runs in the icon bar at the top and the PP icon causes conflicts with this software. "
Can you provide an alternative to go at the bottom right hand side of the screen, next to the BT indicator? This may be a good option for people with busy Today screens too.
I was looking at the miniGPS site. Taking the idea from them, sending SMSses from your product would be cool too. Also note you only generate alerts, actions on login. It would also be good to have the option to attibute actions / alerts to logouts.
During the beta phase can you also enable the ability for the user to update the cell info on all cells? It is very hard to test the product where you can only manipulate the first record. Suggest you change to a time based trial mechanism rather than the one record manageability option you have now. Just a humbe "consumer" opinion.
Last but not least, It would be great to be able to stop scanning for new cells but continue to detect login/logouts at the knowns (in database) cells. Example : after you train the application, you have all cells of interest in your database. In the current form the application keeps on recording all cells thats you pass through. After a month in a big city I presume I would have a huge list...
All in all, great job ! Best Regards

Installed it tonight at my xda I device, and it looks running fine.
Played a little bit and found that the tool is very interesting.
I also got some ideas to enhance the tool.
Wouldn't it be better that you can disable the Option "finding a new cell" and get instead a learning mode?
If you use the xda in your car, you get a lot of messages concernig a new cell. And all the time, all the volumes are set to 100%.
Maybe it will also be interesting to set the default values. In my case for example, the telephone volume is always much higher than the normal volume...

PS: Would be nice, if there will be a "low cost edition" for including it into the kitchen....

i will make it opensource after i got some little profit, i'm living a hard life as a student, coding in freetime is bad, i should go working in freetime
great idea this learning mode, but it's already been implemented like this:
go into the system options, select hide popup notifications..
if it detects a cell then it won't display any popup, just an icon on the top, clicking on it will remove it. to go back into the programmoptions restart the programm
btw, if it detects a new cell it won't set any profile.. maybe i will make the default profile = no profile, it will not set anything until you've set the profile correctly!

both very good ideas!!! i will implement both.. a one week time trial or something will be good enough!

i think logouts are not important, since there are soo many cells and you can have an own profile for each cell.. one event per cell change is enough!
sending SMS is good, but what's the use? telling somebody that you're waiting for him? okay, sounds nice but that's not that important too. maybe i will do it for 1.0, maybe for 1.1

hey stefan, could you give more details about your XDA1 maybe you can compare settings and installed tools with the other XDA1 device so we can figure out what stops it from working on the other machine.
btw, hast du irgendwas installiert an deinem XDA1 oder wäre es möglich einen hardreset auszuführen cell profiler zu installieren und dann zu testen obs funkt (also von windows default her)
danke stefan ;P

Hi dutty. Thanks for your prompt response. Logout action is good against theft or accidentally forgetting the phone in the cab... Once the phone moves out of your regular circle of cells you get an SMS on an alternate number. This reminds me. Adding a cluster of cells into a cell family seems to be a must. Someone else mentioned this already. I now have 24 cells picked up between my home & office. In my room at the office I got 5 different cells picked up at different times... I am imagining I would create a Home family, one for Office, one for Malls etc that I frequent and then anything else would stay unknown. When you have a new unknown you would have the darg & drop option to throw it into an existing family. Setting profile (sound, alert and executable etc) by family rather than cell would be awesome as well since right now we have to do it for each & every cell. Does this make sense?
Last but not least, I tried to attach an executable to a cell and notice that the file browse box only shows me My Documents folder. How can I navigate to the Program Files folder?
Have a great weekend!!!

sadly you can't. it's a microsoft limitation...
the filedialog box only shows my documents and storage card. and i'm a student i can't invest so much time to develop a new file searching method - and i haven't got money to buy a license for those filebrowsers that search for everything.
so if you want to start programms you should have them on the storage card, but that solution is ok to me.
oh yeah here is the latest changelog, 1.0 seems finished if there won't show up any bugs or stuff like that.
Code:
+added about box
+added logo to mainscreen
+improved main screen, show more information - including groupname
+++++ added an icon to the 'today - tray' in the lower right corner, clicking it will bring up the main screen
it will add the icon once you click on 'hide' or if you've got 'auto hide' selected suggest by k_kirk
+added the ability to 'disable learning new cells' inorder to stop the programm from learning new cells
this is good if you're living in a big city and you already got all your cells in the database
enabling it will not add any cells to the database AND it will never display the 'we found a cell' popup suggested by lumpistefan
+added the ability to 'delete cell' to cell options
+changes to 'ini' file format
+redesigned icons :)
+added 'disable notification popup' inorder stop the bubble from popping up suggested by k_kirk
+added logging capabilities to control the network responses
+added 'assign group' dialog ( added possibility of assigning groups.. if you switch from one cell
to another and it's the same group, then there is no notify bubble displayed )
-added 'add group'
-added 'group list'
-added 'delete group'
-added 'assign group'
+added 'cell profile' dialog
-all cellprofile settings displayed there
-added group display
+redesigned 'cell options' dialog
-added 'Assign Group'
-added 'Cell Profile'
-removed all cell profile options
+possiblity to execute a wav file, simply select wave file *.wav in the filedialog
( alarm? possibilitiy.. now possible, that the device tells you when you have to drive slower etc.
or it could remind you with a note you've recorded that you have to do XXX once you enter your homezone )
+added 'signal strength of cell' to cell info dialog
+added 'cell info' dialog
+one command after init
+sending only one command at every intervall.

Im excited that it will support widgets.

Sounds cool, we jus gotta wait like 10 years for it to be released

REPOST> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503739

cant waittt im excited ive been waiting 4 this update

Can't wait for all the awesome widgets that will come from this. That was one of the main areas lacking in the builds so far.

How long have we been waiting for this update? Since January 15th?
I guess Google is going to keep teasing us with rumored release dates, release details and screenshots until we wake up one morning to see our phones with an update available. So many noobs will be in a hurry to install it and come crying "I lost my root!"
I see only problems ahead with this. Still... I've bene playing with Haykuro's builds and thus far... I like it. But I don't think that I'll use it until Google releases the official version. But who knows... Haykuro (a 17 year old kid) is starting to make Google look bad.
I say we all thank him by donating his way to MIT!

What update... im already Up to Date... lmao ... check the sig

Haykuro's ROMs are pretty freakin stable. I updated yesterday to 5.0.1G and can honestly say my phone is faster and more stable than it ever has before(even when it had the stock ROM). The only thing I've found that doesn't work is the IM app but then it has the gchat app separate(which does work) and you can always dl Hi AIM, Hi MSN, etc for the others.

I think Google had to release that, after all, there is a 17 year old high school student who made two versions run on the G1, and also customized them by adding a few things from other versions, as well as apps to SD!
I really can't believe that it's a coincidence that they released the beta a day after Haykuro got the most stable versions working!
I expect it will be coming as an official update very soon, or Google is going to look very bad!
Unless I have a huge problem, I'm sticking with Haykuro!

Well now that its official i can say what I've wanted to say for weeks, why on earth are there so many people getting all excited about Haykuro's build? Seems like a total waste of time and space to me now that the real thing is coming and will actually work without flaws. I will wait for JF version. Copy and paste will be sweet!!!

Haykuro's build(at least the 5.0.1G with apps to sd) works beautifully... The only thing I've found that doesn't work better than my phone has ever worked before is the IM app. But that's useless for me since the Gtalk app does work(again, beautifully) and I use Hi AIM and Hi MSN for those services. I have found no flaws that are any more significant than I've had in the JF versions and everything works MUCH better.

Haykuro's builds are indeed awesome and extremely impressive but they're not without their key flaws. A lot of my favourite apps don't function properly or work at all on these builds and the autorotate was so slow I had to turn it off. I still think I'd prefer to stick with 5.0G for now than to switch back to JF 1.42.
I definitely recommend 5.0G for someone looking for the best cupcake experience with root - I definitely wouldn't hold my breath for the OTA release + modded rom with root, it could be awhile and Haykuro's builds are stable enough now (and getting more stable every few days with frequent updates).

You DO realize that the apps that don't work is because they were designed for 1.1 and not 1.5 right? It is no fault of Haykuro's ROMS as they wouldn't work on Google's release either. It's up to the Devs to make them compatible and with the new SDK they can!
Copy and Paste works great in Haykuro's builds: Menu > More > Select Text.

I don't think Google were rushed into anything. The simple fact of the matter is that they are not ready to release yet. I'm running Haykuro's 5.0.1G and I think it works really well, and is pretty much close to production quality, but the point is it isn't yet. Bear in mind it based off of Google and HTCs own builds for the Magic, which it still yet to be released. I'm sure the Magic hardware has been locked down for some months now, so it is the software stack they are waiting on.
The fact that Haykuro has got it out and working for the G1 is a tremendous testament to his skills, and to those who've given him assistance, but it is still based on an unfinished product. At some point, there will be a code freeze and the Magic will be released, and I'd expect to see the official Cupcake build shortly after then. Of course, by the time T-Mobile gets it's hands on to it, they'll probably nerf it into uselessness anyway, so there will still be a need for the Haykuro's/JFs of the community!

Dave

Actually, this does make me rather angry. When the G1 was released with p*ss poor Bluetooth support, one of the reasons they gave is that they they had it all working, but they weren't happy with the API and didn't want to "lock it down" as they would have to support this going forward so as not to break any applications developed for the released version of Android in any future revisions.
Now we are seeing new Android versions, and apps are breaking on these versions. I can only assume this is mostly down to changes in the Android APIs.

Dave

com'on man have some patience, or update your phone with haykuro's builds. Look at the fact that what Android 1.5 has it took 2 years for apple to put in iPhone and android 1,5 will be there before iPhone OS 3.0. Palm is still working on stuff we already have.
Android 1 to 1.5 is the fastest development lifecycle we've ever seen. We knew about 1.5( a.k.a cupcake ) because of the fact that Android is opensource and all the world knows whats going on. its not a closed door development scenario like every other major mobile OS.
Just rejoice these facts and feel happy that you have an android phone.

Well, im really glad to finally hear something from google about the Cupcake update. Im currently using the JF 1.42 MOD and its really cool very stable and no issues, and I wouldnt move to the official Cupcake until JF releases his update bcoz I dont want to loose Multi-Touch
Not that its very useful.......but its a nice show off , and gives iphone owners no edge or any other cool features over my lovely G1 ))

[APP][2.3+] JuiceSSH - Free SSH Client

For the last six months we've been working on an SSH app and after a lot of hard work and sleepless nights coding - we've hit publish on the Play Store!
As a pair of full-time linux based systems administrators we spend our lives inside SSH sessions, looking after a large number of servers in and out of office hours. Like most android users we used Connectbot and while it's awesome, we found ourselves getting frustrated with it's lack of functionality in areas and started writing an app that suited our needs better.
Over time our little SSH client grew and grew functionality-wise and JuiceSSH was born...

Excellent SSH client! The layout and functionality makes working on remote machines very easy and efficient.
I have one issue: In some instances the Enter/Return key is not recognised. One easy way to replicate this is by editing a file with nano and then attempting to save it. It just doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks again for the wonderful app!

Hi,
Thanks for the kind feedback.
We are currently aware of an issue that specifically affects nano, where the enter key is not recognised.
We're looking into it and hopefully will have a fix included in an update soon.
Thanks!

Hi. I am having trouble using an RSA public key with juiceSSH. I know it's not Juice's fault, as I can't use the id_rsa.pub with connectbot either - just thought I'd ask here for any ideas as i'm stuck.
I generate the keys on a Win XP box, using openssh (the cygwin version). OpenSSH itself is running fine (I can connect using passwords). Here's the keygen output:
C:\OpenSSH\bin>ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa):
/home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)? y
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/graeme/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX [email protected]
I then copied the id_rsa.pub file to /sdcard on my galaxy note, and tried to add it to my existing identity in Juicessh. I chose "file Path" and after typing id_ the full file name id_rsa.pub appeared. I touched that to select it then hit "OK" but nothing happens. I can only leave this screen by hitting cancel. I then tried to paste in the contents of the file, and that is permitted. But, wehn I try to connect using it, juicessh says "invalid file".
I've regenerated the key a couple of times, always with same results. As I say, the same file is also rejected by connectbot ("problem parsing imported private key").
So it appears that ssh-keygen on my XP box is producing an invalid file format (but that seems wildly unlikely??). I wondered if it was a DOS->Linux file format issue (cr vs cr/lf) but I haven't seen anything online suggestign that a file format conversion is needed if copying keys from Windows to Linux?
How can I track down what's wrong & why?

If your key is valid, the 'Smart Search' in JuiceSSH should find the key (regardless unix/windows line endings of where it is on your sdcard).
If it's not - then it does suggest your key is invalid.
The fact that when you paste in the key on your android device, it still shows as invalid suggests that it's more than just a line endings issue.
I'm afraid I don't have a windows box here to test with.
Can you confirm that the first line of your key contains -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- or -----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Thanks

Hi, thanks for taking the time to have a look!
The private id_rsa file, which resides in ~home/graeme/.ssh on the XP box, has the -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY ----- header. The public id_rsa.pub simply has ssh-rsa at the start.
However I think I may be very confused. My need is to connect from my android phone over ssh to my XP "server" which is running openssh. I can currently do this using password authentication, and I want to use keys instead. I have generated public/private RSA keys using ssh-keygen on the XP box, and then copied the public key it generated onto the android phone and tried to import it.
Should I actually be generating the keys on the phone and then copying the public one to the PC? If so, what do I need on Android to do this (I'm not rooted).

Ahh ok - makes more sense now.
You need the private key on the phone (id_rsa).
The public key needs to be copied to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ( cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys) on your windows XP box.
Now linux is very fussy about the permissions on this authorized_keys file - although not sure if windows will be.
On Linux the .ssh directory must be 700 and the authorized_key file 600.
Let me know how you get on.
Paul

Many thanks Paul, I've got it working now (though I feel like a plonker!). Cheers for the help, you saved me a lot of time

If it makes you feel any better, getting the private/public keys mixed up is a really common problem! It's not just you

I have set up such keys in the past successfully from the same XP box to my old Nokia N900 (even managed to set up reverse tunnel so that I could login to phone from PC wherever it happened to be whilst on 3G) so I *should* know what I'm doing ... just a "senior moment" today hopefully!
Big thumbs up for the juicessh app by the way. Clean & simple interface, very nice.

Just released an update to the Play Store that includes a nice new widget for our Pro customers running Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb) that allows quick homescreen access to your frequently used connections, or specific groups:

Quick bug report: I was abouit to report this with the previous version until I saw the post saying there was an update. I've updated but the bug is still there.
I have my WiFi -> Advanced -> keep WiFi on during Sleep set to "Always".
I disable WiFi (and go automatically to mobile data) and then run Juicessh to connect to a remote server.
I then exit the session (by typing "exit" into the terminal) and before doing anything else I check the above setting and it has changed from "Always" to "Never". Not a big deal, but it was driving me a bit crazy until I tracked down what it was that was making my phone use mobile data every time the screen was off!
Samsung Galaxy Note, stock build on ICS 4.0.4.

Hi, I just tested the new .apk you provided but it's still doing the same as before.
Also FYI - it is not neccessary to go onto a mobile data connection to trigger the problem, that was just the way I happened to be using the app when I noticed the bug.
So, if I am on my home WiFi (with Keep wifi on during sleep set to "always") I can run juicessh, connect to a server on my own LAN and then after, exiting the ssh session, the WiFi setting has immediately changed from "Always" to "Never".
Let me know if you need any further info, and if you'd like me to do any more testing.

Hi Guys,
I've been trying to find the keys juiceSSH generated when I first installed it in order to put in the authorized_Keys on my server, but for the life of me I can't find them.
Anyone know where they are?
Thank you in advance,
J

Hi,
JuiceSSH does not (currently) generate any SSH keys for you - it can only import ones created elsewhere with ssh-keygen or other such tools.
You might be thinking of the encryption password that you're prompted for when you first ran the app? This is used to generate an AES-256 key that encrypts all of your settings, connections, passwords etc so that they are not stored in plain text.
Thanks.
Paul

What is this?
Basically by installing this application, as soon as you receive a notification there is a flash as your phone starts blinking for the LED notification.
It can be useful to anyone that has a device without the LED notification, but instead have a flash next to the selfie camera.
It also extends the concept of notification to the unread badges received from the applications (ex. the "Facebook like"). So, when an unread badge pops up, in the same way as a "normal" notification the flash starts blinking and you will be notified of what's going on.
Various settings are also available to better configure the application to suit your needs.
It works on all devices equipped with a front flash, regardless of whether or not they have the hardware LED notification. (read also the Hardware limitations section for more details)​
Main features
customizable activation based on the current display status and audio mode
pocket mode and recovery options
Samsung AOD support
single or double blink
optional custom delay for the first blink
use also the rear flash when the device is upside down
additional flashing loop with customizable frequency
three different gestures to dismiss the flashing loop
customizable exclusions for the incoming call, the missing call and the text messages
customizable exclusions for all the installed user applications
flash notifications for the unread badges received from compatible applications and customizable by app exclusions (only on Samsung devices with TouchWiz based ROM)
suspend on low battery
suspend during a customizable time slot
integration with the Android "Do not disturb" settings
custom quick setting tile in the quick settings panel to easily turn on/off the service (only on Android 7.x+ devices)
custom shortcut pressing the application icon to easily turn on/off the service (only on supported launchers and on Android 7.1.1+ devices)
built-in black list to avoid the flash for useless, fake or annoying notifications from some applications
optimized for memory usage
battery-friendly (usually takes up 2% in each 24 hour period)
dark theme
RTL support for Arabic languages
no ADS
no ROOT ACCESS needed to work
and more...

Privacy
This application is not ad-supported and can not collect and transmit any sort of privacy sensitive information.
This application can not collect, store or publish any user information.
This application can not use any data connection, detect your location or access your contacts. It also can not read any sensitive information stored on your device. This guarantees maximum security for your data and your privacy.​
Permissions
This application does not need any special permissions except for the one to bind the Android notification listener service. [android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE]
This is the only authorization required to properly interact with your incoming notifications (you will be asked about it explicitly when it is run for the first time).
Devices with Camera Hardware level: LIMITED (partial Camera2 API support)
On some devices the manufacturer implemented only partially the Android Camera2 API; this means limited hardware access to the camera for the developers. In this case the only way to let this application properly take control of the front flash is to use the old Android API and that's why you may also have to authorize the application to use the hardware camera. [android.permission.CAMERA]
With the first run and only if the application detects this limitation, as per the above case you will be asked explicitly to grant full camera access permission (even if the application should only use the front flash, the flash is strictly part of the hardware camera).
You must agree with providing access to your device camera, file system and audio recording for the application to function. This access is limited to user only. None of the data present in your device can be shared with me or any other person.
Keep in mind that if you deny any of these permissions the application will not work!
If you know how Android works and the meaning of application permissions, you can easily verify by yourself all the above statements.
So please, avoid claiming that we are a bunch of criminals here just to steal your data with this application... in doing that, you would be such an IDIOT!​
Hardware limitations
Lately several devices (mainly, but not only, running Android 8.x) are equipped with front flash with custom hardware that developers can not have access to. Furthermore, with the introduction of the new firmware based on Android 8.x, Samsung has inexplicably inhibited the use of front flash to developers on a wide range of devices.
Strangely enough, the front camera of your device may not be equipped with a "real" front flash for this application. When it "asks" through the Android API to your front camera some information about its front flash, the answer may be "no front flash available". There is no workaround this!
This is a software/hardware limitation imposed by the manufacturer (don't ask me why) and at the moment unfortunately there's nothing I can do. I understand your amazement, but if you experience this kind of issue at 99% of the time that's the reason why this application may not work and could report the non-availability of a front flash despite your eyes seeing a front flash.
Mainly only the branded (stock) camera application can handle this kind of front flash, using owned and reserved API.
Try it by yourself to install (from the app Store) an alternative camera application. Then shoot a front selfie and check if the front flash can turn on... or use any other application you expect to use the front flash (usually Instagram and Snapchat fail as well) and then let me know the results.
In addition, you can also try to install Device Info HW and then select the "Camera" tab and check all detailed information about the front camera of your device.
Finally, let me remind you that this app can't take control over the brightness, the color and the speed (On-Off phase) of a flash; unfortunately it isn't a LED... no way for the developers to handle these features.
All of them are strictly related to the hardware and its manufacturer and therefore vary from model to model.​
Main functioning
As you can imagine, this application must be able to take control of the front flash of your device to work properly. In an Android phone this can only happen in one way: through the front camera as the flash is strictly connected to it.
The developers in fact through dedicated instructions, can turn it on and off at will. But it always has a connection to the camera and not directly to the flash itself.
To handle all the incoming notifications, an Android service will run in background on your device.
These are the main functioning at the root of this application.​
Troubleshooting
If you installed any startup manager application (such as Startup Manager, Autorun Manager, AutoStart Manager, Advanced Task Manager, BootManager, etc) or any battery manager/optimizer application (such as Greenify, Doze, Brevent, Hibernator, App Freezer, etc) pay attention to avoid killing the running "Flash notification service" otherwise this application will not work!
I also want to draw your attention to the importance of the Android wakelocks in the lifecycle of this application (if you don't know what wakelocks are, disregard the sentance below).
If your device is running an application that detects and blocks wakelocks (such as Wakelock Detector, WakeBlock, No Wakelock, Wake Lock - PowerManager, etc), keep in mind that the main features of this application will not work as you expect. So add it to the white list if any, or if you are interested in using this application in any way avoid blocking the wakelocks.
In other words, because of unreasonable battery optimizations implemented by some brands but not only, you have to be careful not to put this application in hibernation without realizing it or maybe killing or blocking the background service without noticing it. These are the most common causes of the main problems you may experience!
Please verify the impact over this application by any system tools / Magisk - Xposed modules which you heavily rely on (especially if your device is ROOTED).
So, double check your system settings before reporting any issues, thanks.​
Battery consumption
It isn't strictly related to the application itself. What drains the battery is the flash not the background service in charge of managing your incoming notifications, I can't do more in terms of optimization.
Battery consumption mainly depends on how long you will let the flashing loop run before you dismiss it (the shorter it is the better for your battery) and also on how many notifications you receive a day.​
Issues & Known bugs
with the introduction of the new firmware based on Android 8.x, Samsung has inexplicably inhibited the use of front flash to developers on a wide range of devices, so this application stop working!!
System requirements
Android 6.x Marshmallow or later
a device with front camera and front flash (read also the Hardware limitations section for more details)
five minutes of your free-time and a little piece of your brain (just in case)
you do not need ROOT ACCESS for this application to work
Installation instructions
Just download the apk and open it as a normal application.​
Download
This application is available on the Google Play Store.
In order to keep in touch with the latest updates, I suggest you uninstall any previous version you downloaded here from XDA and then install the official version of the Play Store.

Hardware limitations
Lately several devices (mainly, but not only, running Android 8.x) are equipped with front flash with custom hardware that developers can not have access to. Furthermore, with the introduction of the new firmware based on Android 8.x, Samsung has inexplicably inhibited the use of front flash to developers on a wide range of devices.
Strangely enough, the front camera of your device may not be equipped with a "real" front flash for this application. When it "asks" through the Android API to your front camera some information about its front flash, the answer may be "no front flash available". There is no workaround this!
This is a software/hardware limitation imposed by the manufacturer (don't ask me why) and at the moment unfortunately there's nothing I can do. I understand your amazement, but if you experience this kind of issue at 99% of the time that's the reason why this application may not work and could report the non-availability of a front flash despite your eyes seeing a front flash.
Mainly only the branded (stock) camera application can handle this kind of front flash, using owned and reserved API.
Try it by yourself to install (from the app Store) an alternative camera application. Then shoot a front selfie and check if the front flash can turn on... or use any other application you expect to use the front flash (usually Instagram and Snapchat fail as well) and then let me know the results.
In addition, you can also try to install Device Info HW and then select the "Camera" tab and check all detailed information about the front camera of your device.
Finally, let me remind you that this app can't take control over the brightness, the color and the speed (On-Off phase) of a flash; unfortunately it isn't a LED... no way for the developers to handle these features.
All of them are strictly related to the hardware and its manufacturer and therefore vary from model to model.
Main functioning
As you can imagine, this application must be able to take control of the front flash of your device to work properly. In an Android phone this can only happen in one way: through the front camera as the flash is strictly connected to it.
The developers in fact through dedicated instructions, can turn it on and off at will. But it always has a connection to the camera and not directly to the flash itself.
To handle all the incoming notifications, an Android service will run in background on your device.
These are the main functioning at the root of this application.
Common issues & Troubleshooting
If you installed any startup manager application (such as Startup Manager, Autorun Manager, AutoStart Manager, Advanced Task Manager, BootManager, etc) or any battery manager/optimizer application (such as Greenify, Doze, Brevent, Hibernator, App Freezer, etc) pay attention to avoid killing the running "Flash notification service" otherwise this application will not work!
I also want to draw your attention to the importance of the Android wakelocks in the lifecycle of this application (if you don't know what wakelocks are, disregard the sentance below).
If your device is running an application that detects and blocks wakelocks (such as Wakelock Detector, WakeBlock, No Wakelock, Wake Lock - PowerManager, etc), keep in mind that the main features of this application will not work as you expect. So add it to the white list if any, or if you are interested in using this application in any way avoid blocking the wakelocks.
In other words, because of unreasonable battery optimizations implemented by some brands but not only, you have to be careful not to put this application in hibernation without realizing it or maybe killing or blocking the background service without noticing it. These are the most common causes of the main problems you may experience!
Please verify the impact over this application by any system tools / Magisk - Xposed modules which you heavily rely on (especially if your device is ROOTED).
So, double check your system settings before reporting any issues, thanks.
Battery consumption
It isn't strictly related to the application itself. What drains the battery is the flash not the background service in charge of managing your incoming notifications, I can't do more in terms of optimization.
Battery consumption mainly depends on how long you will let the flashing loop run before you dismiss it (the shorter it is the better for your battery) and also on how many notifications you receive a day.
Hope I have been helpful in understanding.

Thank you nice work
I will add Arabic language

Oh... this sounds strange! Be more specific please.
Which android version?
Which label is displayed at the left of the greyed switch?
Did the app ask for "Notification access permission" at first run?
Open Options --> Lock screen and security --> Other security settings and check manually the notification access permission (if it's disabled, activate it now) and let me know.
Thanks

SM-J730G model right?
Seems like something go wrong during the front flash detection phase.
This app uses the standard Android Camera2 API to get access to the flash.
So, is something strictly related to your device model and Samsung hardware/firmware.
Maybe is the Exynos chipset variant... not so easy to investigate but I will try.

FrontFlash Notification
Issues & known bugs:
on some Exynos chipset based devices, take control over the front flash fails. Check yours by yourself and let me know. (I'm working to understand how to fix it)

Thank you for this app, I will try it.

Works great on my Moto Z2 Play. Even dual flash works too. Awesome work !

This will be very useful on my Honor 7 since the notification LED is so small it's almost invisible.
Haven't been able to get it to work yet though.
First issue I got was that the service was running but not enabled. I figured out it was due to the "suspend on low battery" setting even though my battery was at 80%.
I unticked that and now the service is running and enabled.
I'm trying to get a notification when receiving an e-mail(gmail) but nothing is happening. Gmail is not in the possible exclusion list at all, maybe that has something to do with it?
Edit: It works for other apps like the calendar app.
Thanks for the work so far.

FrontFlash Notification
Just an update for Exynos chipset based device users... the front flash detection issue is not related to the chipset.
For some strange reasons (don't ask me why), on the new devices series (Exynos of course), Samsung has implemented only partially the Camera2 API for the developers. Hardware level: LIMITED (partial Camera2 support)
This is why at the time been my app can't use the front flash on your device.
In the next few days I'm going to produce a new 1.7 version, where if Camera2 fails the app takes control over the camera and his front flash using the old Android API.
Based on the first tests, fortunatelly this seems to fix the problem.

[APP][5.0+] Kanbani – advanced privacy-centric task planner

In short, Kanbani is a robust and absolutely free (+ ad-free) task management app. Why not just use Trello or JIRA, you ask? Let us go straight to the point:
It allows to mix online and offline work, either alone or in a team, and sync to our servers or your own.
It has a fine-tuned user interface with bulk commands (create, share, delete, etc.), gestures and 1-tap pie menus – something that Trello still cannot do.
It can turn kanban boards into a traditional calendar-based organizer with the unique Timeline view – because a calendar sometimes does work better.
Trivial like file sharing, it can share boards for any web browser on any platform (example). The viewer is open source (MIT), no registration (QR code based sharing), plugins written in PHP and JavaScript, various import/export options (CSV, text, Trello, etc.), filters, print and vertical view (great for reviewing big boards on laptop), table of contents - and really lightweight (CSS+JS=30K). Check the README with screenshots for details.
Lets you organize text notes into cards or keep a journal with the convenient full-screen Description editor,
Every list can be customized individually with a rich set of settings: archive cards automatically on threshold, sort by Due Date, sync when an event occurs, show Description excerpts and so on.
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Kanbani has been intensively tested to be fast even with great number of cards (thousands), lists, boards and descriptions (100,000+ symbols, per card). I personally have 1500+ cards, 500+ KB of JSON if exported.
But the best part really is collaboration and tinkering for power users and enterprise:
Create and join teams by sharing sync profiles as simple QR codes.
Sync over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, email, etc. using standard Android Sharing. Paranoids can also sync using just SD cards :laugh:
Encrypt sync data end-to-end with industry-standard cryptography (AES), verifiable using openssl: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniDataPHP/blob/master/sync.php#L75
Staying away from vendor locks and centralized services – host your own sync server if desired.
Write online viewer plugins in PHP and JavaScript. Integrate Kanbani into your workflow thanks to the documented data format: receive JSON, transform and feed back. See the in-app help for details and actual code.
We got standards all around: JSON, VCS/ICS, SHA/AES, SFTP (any Unix server), WebDAV (great for multiple concurrent users – supported by OwnCloud, NextCloud, Apache’s mod_dav and various cloud providers).
Wary users may obtain an APK without Google’s analytics ("Community" version) from this thread or the Kanbani’s homepage.
There are also dark theme, autosaving, widgets and more – check the app for details. Android 5+.
I am one of the Kanbani developers. Your suggestions and bug reports are more than welcome! Please post them here or send to [email protected] (or via our website).
Kanbani Web Viewer’s source code on GitHub. Sample Welcome Board.
PHP classes to read and write Kanbani data.
Kanbani’s home page with in-depth manual.
Kanbani’s Google Play page.
Kanbani’s Huawei AppGallery page.

I will take a look, thanks

Posted an update with bug fixes (major: SFTP not working) and a basic web viewer version - https://kanbani.pdapps.org/Welcome
Added PHP libraries to our GitHub: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniDataPHP - allow reading and writing serialized Kanbani data (including encrypted data) and QR code data. Used by the web viewer: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniWebViewer
Hope you find this interesting.

A little problem
Hi, the app is very interesting. I have a little problem on my OnePlus 5, in the "date" field the letters overlap (see images attached). Maybe the problem is due to the translation in the app (the language is in Spanish).
Very good work! Thanks for the app!

Thanks, indeed it appears that our Spanish translator used too long words (I noticed a couple of other places as well). Do you think this is your language's feature (and that we must fix the UI to support longer texts) or that the translator simply picked bad wording?

The translation is ok, I think:
- The calendar is a bit small to choose the date.
- You can choose another font type to the translation of "due date" or "deadline"/"limit date".
Sorry for answer late.

Thanks for the feedback. We will revise these details together with the translator in the upcoming weeks. It's just strange that only Spanish version has this issues.
Next week we will publish an updated web viewer with interesting features, and its source code.

Hi, I've seen the same screens in English and have some suggestions for the screens in Spanish:
- You can write "Due date"/"Fecha de vencimiento" and "No deadline"/"Sin fecha límite" in 2 lines, something like this:
Fecha de Sin fecha
vencimiento límite
- In the calendar, the name of the days in Spanish shouldn't have a dot at the end and remove the accent mark (Lun Mar Mie Jue Vie Sab Dom). Some calendars only have the initial letter of the day (in English: M T W T F S S, in Spanish: L M M J V S D).
- The plus sign in "+7 days" looks much better instead of writing as "Más...". Keep the same in Spanish ("+7 días").
About the app:
- I haven't seen any option about alarms, maybe I missed that part.
- Black/Dark theme?
Thanks!

Hey, thank you! Sadly, I do not know Spanish at all so I had to trust the translator and it looks like he overdid a few things. Noted, will double check.
As for the "no due" in form, the problem is to keep the form compact, meaning conditionally adding second line for Spanish only (and it looks strange that Spanish needs that but say Portuguese doesn't). But this must be fixed in some way, will see.
To be sure, we are talking about Spanish (es), not Spanish-Mexico (es-mx) localization, right?

Today we have pushed source code for Kanbani Web Viewer, that can be interesting for some people, especially since it's plugin based (PHP, JavaScript) and easy to customize. I have updated the first post with more info. Also check the README with screenshots on GitHub: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniWebViewer/
Any feedback is welcome, as usual.

I have made corrections to the translation except for day names in the calendar - sadly this is a 3rd party component that we can't change yet (but we have plasn to replace it in the future). These fixes together with due date alerts will be available next Friday.

New version
Update (1.3.2):
Added Due Date Notifications preference
Showing error details in Check Connection, not just "online"/"offline"
Improved validation of Sync Base URL (fixed crashes)
Showing weekday names in card list and Timeline
Made Timeline past colors more pale, Today thicker
Sync popup called from Main Menu now saves changes immediately
Kanbani is now available at Huawei AppGallery:

We have added this feature in the last update (enable it via Preferences > Hierarchical). It is very basic for now (one notification is added per card, at the time that is due), we should improve it with time.
That being said, I suggest using Timeline for checking tasks when their due date is important, this is exactly what Timeline view is for.
This update doesn't include language fixes due to translator not making it in time. We will release a new version around Tuesday that will have Fecha / Sin fecha in the card editing form instead of current Fecha de vencimiento / sin fecha de vencimiento. Does this translation make sense to you?

Status update: in the end of October we will release an update with dark theme and widgets.

New version
Update (1.5.1):
Added Dark mode/theme.
Added automatic saving of cards to protect against accidentally unsaved forms (crash, low battery, etc.). Such cards are available from Settings and Alert Bar below the card list.
Added Defer button to card form to delay saving it until later (if a new card needs to be immediately created).
Added a "new card" main screen widget.
Reduced font size in Timeline cells.
Adding extra columns on the right in Timeline for easier card creation.

Applause for such a neat task-management app. I especially love how privacy-focused it is.
I am not sure if this is something everyone needs be concerned with but I experienced an error trying to start/install the web viewer:
[error] 3748#3748: *89 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: preg_match(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 10 in /usr/share/nginx/html/kwv/helpers.php:72
I was able to fix this by adding a "\" to line 72 of helpers.php so that the section of code reading ([\w-.]+) instead reads ([\w\-.]+).
Now I just need to get other parts of the webviewer to work:
[error] 5503#5503: *5 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Access to the script '/usr/share/nginx/html/kwv/backgrounds/zq-lee-Q6H4SwjsAdI-unsplash.jpg' has been denied (see security.limit_extensions)" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.254.11, server: moonpi.local, request: "GET /kwv/backgrounds/zq-lee-Q6H4SwjsAdI-unsplash.jpg HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "moonpi.local", referrer: "http://moonpi.local/kwv/?profile=Welcome"
All in all, great work on what is shaping up to be a great system.
