[APP][2.2+] Server Auditor SSH client with easy navigation

Hello,
ServerAuditor application is available on Google Play now (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.server.auditor.ssh.client). We released it a couple of days ago. We are linux developers mostly and sometimes would like to have remote access through remote devices. This is initial release and more features are coming. Client is implemented from scratch and it isn't a clone of some opensource SSH client implementations.
We appreciate any feedback which would have to make our application easier to use as we believe it is possible to have convenient mobile SSH client.
Version 1.4
It's been a while since my latest update. Now we completely reworked the UI and added several features like port forwarding. Please also note that an app has a new URL in the market.
Version 1.2
- Aliases are finally available.
- A lot of new cool color schemes.
- Incredible copy-paste implementation. Allows instant search of copied buffer in Google or Serverfault.
- A lot of bug fixes and improvements.
- Colours support and connection grouping
- SSH scripting and ability to execute one command on several servers for easy cluster managment
- Port forwarding
- Smart command and filesystem navigation (we aren't 100% sure how we will exactly implement this, so some tests needed, any ideas are appreciated).
Version 1.1
- Full xterm support
- Incredible improvement of the rendering speed!
- Close all connections functionality
- Various UI improvements
- New option 'Background connection's timeout'
- Hackers keyboard is supported
- Redesigned help page
- Bug fixes for certain Android devices
Version 1.0.2
- Crash on Nexus fixed
- Import keys functionality implemented
Version 1.0.1
- We tried to make access to control keys more convenient than in existing SSH clients
- Meta-actions (like shake for CTRL-C and Volume buttons are used).
- Easy connection and keys management.
- Gestures like swipe up/down/left/right are used for replacing corresponding terminal buttons.
We would like to know which features by your opinion are most important and shortcomings of current version
Thank you for your time!
Dmitriy.

Please check for new update.

BEST ssh client out there! Much better, much more up to date than Connectbot.

Thanks, Jewremy!
We have just published Server Auditor in Amazon app market (http://www.amazon.com/Crystalnix-Se...qid=1344677892&sr=8-1&keywords=server+auditor).

Are there any plans to support Tasker and/or Intents, so the SSH client can be launched, connected before Tasker (or any other automation program) launches a task? Being able to disconnect and close the client would be crucial as well (this last part is something ConnectBot can't handle afaik).

Hi, ppc_dan.
We are going to release next version with support of terminal colors soon. At the moment we have several feature requests (like scripting support, grouping, etc). Thank you for your suggestion, I think we will try to implement Tasker support within our scripting support task.

ServerAuditor has gained a huge update. Please find the most significant changes below:
Version 1.1
- Full xterm support
- Incredible improvement of the rendering speed!
- Close all connections functionality
- Various UI improvements
- New option 'Background connection's timeout'
- Hackers keyboard is supported
- Redesigned help page
- Bug fixes for certain Android devices
Enjoy!

This is a great app. My only suggestions are to add the ability to use aliases. It would be nice since a lot of my connections are also remote connections with a FQDN so they all look the same but the port.
Also I'm trying to add keys but i cant seem to figure it out. I have tried to attach both a public key and a private key. (created by puTTy) with no success.
Thanks again for the app.

I have the same problem. I've imported a private key that is in OpenSSH format and attached it to a connection. Authentication fails and falls back to asking for password. The same key works great when using Bitvise on my laptop.

Might have to do with version of Android. My original HTC Desire with 2.2 won't work. But my Transformer with 4.x works with the exact same key.

Thanks buddy, all the best luck with your presentation and forensics! :good:

Andriller is awesome, customer of yours since half a year, cannot recommend it enough.
This deserves a bump.^^

Hi.
Does your tool support retrieving (at least as a read-only) applications installed and their data from dead Android phones (particularly from those which are not rooted and stuck on boot and showing only logo)?
Do you know any other open-source solution for this?
Thank you.

What you are looking for does not exist (to my knowledge). There isn't a single tool to magically repair half-broken Android devices. It's handset make model dependant. This will require extensive manual interactions to repair boot loops, re-flashing individual partitions, etc. If not successful, the options left are JTAG or even chip-off.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, what I want primarily is not to repair the device itself, but to extract some apps installed with their data which are important.
If there is no a single solution, could you please tell what open source solutions can be used as a complex in this case and what sources would you advise to read (as a starting point and to have a general idea) in order to get a better understanding of possible solutions for this kind of problems?

Andriller is actually working!!!!
Thanks !

Thanks 4 this very useful tool!
At work i use UFED and XRY to aquire and analyse mobile datas...
...but this tool is definitly worth to use beside this two programs.... :good:

Can't extract/decode call logs
I'm able to extract the backup, but I'm not getting call logs for some reason. Is there a different way I should be using the decoder? I ran the adb extraction and got account info, phone MAC, build, wifi passwords and download history. After playing around a bit, I extracted the ab image using 'tools' then parsed the extracted folder which gave me chrome saved passwords and chrome history. I tried parsing .tar and .ab files extracted and didn't get anything useful. Using the call log decoder, i tried to access the com.android.calllogbackup file but theres only a manifest file there (no .db). Any advice on getting call/text logs? Will i need to root the phone? Its a Samsung Galaxy On5, on 6.0.1

[APP] [IR] [IPCAMERA] [GESTURE] [SPEECH] Design your own remote control

Hi
Always though it is a plus on phone to have IR blasting capability to replace old remotes.
Replacement for old remotes or higher specs remotes such as PRONTO, needs to be fully customizable, not only the screen designed ( the activity of the remote for a specific device) but also the DEVICE database and the “bindings” actions to buttons.
With this APP you can currently control IR natively on the GS4 as well as exposing VIDEOVIEW with URL pointing to your WEBCAM in activity screen you would design yourself.
You can also go through WIFI and control IR using (USB-UIRT) or PLUGWISE devices or anything else if you do it yourself.
This APP if you decide to spend little time on it using the GS4 is SIMPLE and will allow you I believe to quickly create yourself your own customizable remote screen(s) in 5 minutes: see video example bellow "Design remote from scratch".
As all other application out there, not having GS4 IR learning implies you need to find the code that work for your device. Most APP uses there own DB, I'm not sure how open these application are in this respect. RemoteGATE APP supports both the REMOTECENTRAL DB as well as the LIRC database and allow you to edit import any *PRONTO* device code found. So chances you will find your code is quite high but not guarantee.
Basically if you decide to use use ONLY the GS4 internal IR blaster and have found working remote codes for your device, you can design your own remote in 5 minutes.
If you like to go further then you can decide to use the GATE part of RemoteGATE, that is a Python socket server that would blast IR code via USB-UIRT but also can control other device such as PLUGWISE or any other device you like if you do it yourself such as X10 etc… For example you could interface the APP to EventGhost ( I use currently part of there work on USB-UIRT for blasting and learning capability)
Also using the server part would allow you to use any other Android devices ( OLD phone ) as your remote control replacement. I currently use my OLD GALAXY ACE phone for this and it is totally usable for me.
Enjoy!
OVERVIEW:
-Create/use fully customizable remote control design screen for IR, Plugwise devices and RTSP IPCAM video feed
-Android APP minimum OS version 4.1.2
-Tested working devices GS4, NOTE 2, GATAB 7.7, ACE ( Cyanogen mode 4.2 ).
Other devices should work fine as long as OS requirement meets.
Remote activity created on GS4 (higher resolution) would open down scaled automatically on lower resolution I.E. GALAXY ACE.
-Controlling IR devices via
GS4 IR blaster
OR blast IR code via USB-UIRT (currently the only one supported device) via WIFI
-Control any other devices RemoteGate Server WIFI(Python socket server )
Blasting IR via USB-UIRT
IR learning via USB-UIRT
Plugwise support (on/off/toggle/wattage)
-Design Remote activity
add / remove / pinch zoom / alignment / sizing / rotation / cloning for ImageView/TextView/VideoView objects
Undo / Redo
Color / gray scale for ImageView Objects
bring to front/back objects
Color or Image background for remote activity
Automatic down scale of remote activity created on higher resolution devices
-Fully customizable Device DATABASE
IR code fetching for user devices from Remote Central and LIRC database
Add new devices / functions : free input field of IR PRONTO CODE or anything else (if NOT IR goes on Python RemoteGate Sever )
Delete devices/functions
IR code learning from USB-UIRT via WIFI
Auto generate remote Activity template from Device Database that can be re-designed if wished in the design activity
-Fully customizable activity actions
Add/remove bindings to designed remote activity objects
Bind ImageView (buttons) to one or more Device database function IR or WIFI
Bind VideoView to RTSP video URL
Bind TextView to Plugwise Device for wattage query
The focus on this project is mainly user interface and full customization for the user of the remote activity/screen as well as handling of your IR code.
All files are XML this mean they can be modified externally, screen activity could be built on the PC. Etc....

RemoteGate showing shortcut creation of any button on your launcher, use of simple and complex activity as well as use off remotegate over the internet via 3G.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl1m25kip...rtcuts complex activity and 3G connection.mp4
In details
1)open remote gate and create "My Remote" ( shortcut to your HOME activity on the launcher.
Then showing the use of the remote. This is equivalent to open RemoteGate and touch launch remote menu.
RemoteGate is the APP that you would use to create your device DB, then activity screen and the action bound to buttons
"My Remote" is the runtime that is a shortcut to the RemoteGate launch remote menu.
2)Launch RemoteGate again and go in activity action
-show action for the designed TV activity
-Long press on the TV button the create the shortcut
-Do the same for the Stream button ( this is a complex activity ) and create a shortcut
-next open the TV activity show the action for 2 channels and create the shortcut as well for the TV power button
-next go in the dimmer activity and create shortcut to open / close light.
NOTE: I am using LightMan this is a device that receive blaster IR and then blast it to RF to some sheap switches and dimmers.
3)Finally show the launcher home screen with the created shortcuts
-The VIDEO widget is not from RemoteGate it only serve the purpose to show the action on clicking on the shortcut created.
RemoteGate has is own VIDEOVIEW ( RTSP only ) and no widget for it for the moment
-touch the Dimmers ON shortcut
==>show light tuning on in the VIDEO vidget ( reflexion on the TV)
-Dimmers off
-touch the TV power button
=>open the TV
-touch HISTORY HD shortcut
=>blast IR, 6,0,2
-touch France
=>blast IR 6,2,2
NOTE you can blast IR with the GS4 as you know, here in my case I use USB-UIRT and the RemoteGate Python server
4)Next touch stream a complex RemoteGate activity
-It shows a video view of my IPCAM
-It shows current wattage of the TV
-Touching the HARDKEY menu opens the TV menu
-Long press (repeat down button )
5)Lately DISABLE wifi and use 3G and do the SAME as above.
With RemoteGate you can control your devices remotely, you can design your own activities etc...
DOWNLOAD:
http://gemperle.home.xs4all.nl/PROTON/REMOTEGATE.zip
INSTALL:
Unzip and move the entire REMOTEGATE folder to your internal storage or extSdCard ( change to /storage/extSdCard in the application settings menu OR to where you placed the REMOTEGATE folder ).
The ZIP contains RemoteGATE.py; delete this file if you don't need to blast IR from WIFI and only want to use the GS4 blaster.
If you do want to use RemoteGATE server you will need to run RemoteGATE.py with Python 2.7 with the required dependencies and with USB-UIRT device on machine acting as a server.
The structure of the folder should be maintained i.e.:
/storage/emulated/0/REMOTEGATE
DEVICES.xml
BUTTONS
ACTIVITY
BACKGROUND
-Install Remotegate.apk
Change remotegate HOME path if needed...(you can do this from the application setting menu)
NOTE:
The ZIP package contains remote activity/actions and device DB I currently use that serves also as examples for you. I recommend you to have a look at it from the main menu in Design activity/Activity Action and Device database so to see the current application features and familiarize yourself with the application and the design and ultimately to see if this application is for you....
If you use other DEVICES with lower resolution such as GALAXY NOTE2, GTAB 7.7 or ACE you would need to open ALL activity I created in the DESIGN ACTIVITY menu so to down scale the activity I created BEFORE launching the remote.
Once done playing with my defined remote and find it useful try doing your own remote: You can delete DEVICE.XML in the root of the REMOTEGATE folder as well as delete ALL activities in the ACTIVITY folder ( the ACTIVITY folder must not be deleted ).
RemoteGATE.py: Python socket server using USB-UIRT and PLUGWISE
Full credit for the USB-UIRT module from EventGhost: http://www.eventghost.org/
Plugwise modules from hadara python-plugwise: https://bitbucket.org/hadara/python-plugwise/wiki/Home
I currently use it with Python 2.7 on WINDOWS but it should be fine on Linux with some mod.
It requires PythonSerial, CRCMOD and Plugwise modules from the above link.

REMOTEGATE USAGE:
==================
SETTINGS
-Not much for the moment, the only important settings are
HOME path : this need to point to the REMOTEGATE folder you unzipped (see install )
Gate IP address : Only use if you use the Python RemoteGATE.py server
LAUNCH REMOTE
-Select Launch Remote from the menu
This will show you my HOME designed activity.
This is the remote I designed for my usage. You can edit or start a new HOME screen from scratch.
The visual objects are stored im the HOME.XML from /REMOTEGATE/ACTIVITY folder.
Touching any of the button will bring you to other activities as well as blasting IR (see activity action)
Touching hard key back button will go back to the HOME screen.
DESIGN ACTIVITY
-You can create ACTIVITIES as much as you want, designing your own screen with your own picture for the remote button.
To do this from the main menu select "Design Activity"
Here you can create a NEW or OPEN an existing ACTIVITY.
Then you can add a new control(s) , you can set a background, delete controls etc...
As an example adding a new IMAGEVIEW control will look at the provide folder /REMOTEGATE/BUTTONS
This is a folder containing ICONS/PICTURE, you can use your own .
It will exposes icons and here you can multi-select to add to your activity
When selecting, the button(s) they will show on the activity and you can then pinch zoom to move position it in your activity
You can further align the button(s) etc.. to design you own remote activity.
Once finish with the design touch BACK hard button.
This will update or SAVE your new activity in the /REMOTEGATE/ACTIVITY folder as the NAME.XML you gave when you saved the activity...
So this should explain how to create new activities....
DEVICE DATABASE
This is DEVICES.XML file in /REMOTEGATE that contains all your DEVICE IR CODE or PLUGWISE mac address of plugs ( this require the Python RemoteGATE.py server running. The provided DEVICES.XML is my own DB as an example.
To open the XML DB go to the MAIN main menu and select "Device database"
You can scroll right / left to see the full contents.
Here in the Device DB you can edit and save your own pronto IR
The Device DB menu allows you to Save/ Delete selected rows but also to lookup a device from the internet ( using REMOTECENTRAL OR LIRC database)
The dialog will go through BRANDS then the model selection
Finally the function of the device. Here you can test IR codes
Once you tested your IR code fine just add them
You can also create new devices touching + in the menu. Then from the new device you created, you can touch the + on the row to add new function
At this point either you copy and paste an IR PRONTO code in your new function OR you can use Python RemoteGATE.py server to learn code of your original remote ONLY if you have USB-UIRT. Or set anything you want here, it be sent as a message string to the server to process any kind of action you want if you programmed it on the server.
See VIDEO
"RemoteGate learning remote code via RemoteGate Python socket server with USB-UIRT"
ACTIVITY ACTION
Finally once you have created activities from your DEVICE DB you can BIND your activities button(s)/icon(s) to function(s) from your DEVICE DB or to another activity ( jump to activity).
You can bind and send IR code via NATIVE GS4 IR device or via IP Python RemoteGATE.py server that uses currently only USB-UIRT
The binding is done in REMOTEGATE APP main menu selecting "Activity Actions"
All buttons without action(s) will show in purple gray
Open an existing activity and click the button. If there are already binding(s) you can see the list to update it or delete it.
If there isn't binding(s) you can add actions in a list to accomplish multiple actions ( IR or WIFI ) to be blasted when touching the button when the remote got launched. SEE the TV, MEDIA PLAYER, Satellite actions as a example.
CHANGELOG
03./03/2014:
-Further improvements in activity actions performance
-Custom gesture now GLOBAL or LOCAL to an activity screen. Allowing specific gesture per remote screen (avoiding conflicts with other one )

-Many improvements in activity action ( performance editing non visual action ) gesture / speech /hard key
-Device DATABASE : import of LIRC .conf file, so that you can import LIRC code from a file instead of looking at the remote in the LIRC remote database
-Device DATABASE: import of psiloc s60 .ir file, file that embed LIRC code definition in XML.
02/02/2014
-Custom gesture support for remote actions ( works also on Galaxy ACE)
-Speech recognition for remote action ( not supported on Galaxy ACE, OK on Note 2, TAB 7.7).
To make this feature work make sure in Language and Input settings you select Google Voice typing and choose your language and for offline speech recognition download you language
-List of non-visual actions (i.e.: HARD KEY, GESTURE, SPEECH ) in RemoteGate activity action, so you can delete / edit non visual actions.
-Syncing actions against the device database in RemoteGate activity action; All screen you device that bind action from the DEVICE DB stores the actions inside the ACTIVITY XML file, *not* as reference to the Device DB but statically. Hence when modifying the devices in the RemoteGate Device Database view, you can sync / refresh the action for your remote activity.
-Support look and feel transition between remote activities ( none:default, fade in/out, slide in/out)
-RemoteGate Config screen support now
-RemoteGate password
-Change of transition for your remote screen
-Disable/Enable notification
-Disable/Enable overlay gesture view
-Enable vibration on touch button else default sound ( if android sound config enabled “Touch sounds”)
20/1/2014
Add notifications : Showing ICON in status bar of sent actions : IR (red) or WIFI (blue), Delay and Activity
19/1/2014
Add Simple Gesture ( swipe up/down/right/left ) in edit activity action so to bind these gesture to list of actions: JUMP to an activity + BLAST + DELAY
15/1/2014
-Improved shortcut: if shortcut of UI activity are launched and then closed via the HOME hardkey button, as expected it would stay in memory and when opening another different shortcut the same previous shortcut would show instead of the selected one. So now only for shortcut, going back to the launcher via the HOME key would finish() the the application shortcut opened so that new opened shortcut would display fine.
-Improved DEVICE DB : now if using a android DEVICE with native IR capability ADDING a device from RemoteCentral or LIRC will set the field to "IR" instead of "Infra Red".
If the android device does not support IR natively, "USB-UIRT" would be set instead implying you have to set RemoteGate.py server to have a functional remote.
A NOTE about shortcut : The data of the shortcut; ACTIVITY to OPEN and OR IR to be blasted / DELAYS are bundled in the shortcut itself this means if the BUTTON action that has a shortcut on the launcher is modified, the shortcut MUST BE RECREATED ( long press). I think it is better to have the DATA in the shortcut itself instead of the shortcut referencing some file with the data... The inconvenience of re-creating the shortcut is IMO less than having extra files lying around
12/1/2014
-Implement RemoteGate shortcut on launcher home screen.
-Improve action threading (delay and blast).
NOTE: Action of buttons containing activity and or delay cannot be repeatable button ( long press)
You can have multiple activities ( jump to a screen activity ) on a button BUT only the last activity will show.
Activity or SCREEN UI are shown FIRST then all the action BLASTING IR/DELAY are EXECUTED IN ORDER.
See VIDEO:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl1m25kip...rtcuts complex activity and 3G connection.mp4
IMPORTANT info for current version:
DEVICE DB screen, find IR code from remote central or lirc when adding a device to the database will add your device as "Infra Red"
This field can be edited and should be changed/edit to "IR" instead to blast IR code from the GS4 natively
27/12/2013:
-DEVICE DB: recognize KEYWORD IR= use the native device IR blaster.
USB-UIRT: Blast IR via WIFI to the RemoteGATE.py server.
VIDEO: Video URL ( supported by Android VIDEOVIEW)
These are KEYWORDS that must be used. IF you only plan to use RemoteGATE with the S4 internal blaster set your DEVICE ( edit field to IR ). Later on setting screen will deal about that automatically with list of supported devices : I.E.: it should be possible to use the VISTA USB IR dongle ( cheap ) for blasting and learning IR using eventGhost py modules
-Implemented LONG TOUCH ( repeatable button) in the remote activity action: you can check any button you want to allow repeat. This is working both for IR and USB-UIRT. Currently timings are hard coded but they be soon or later in the config screen. When USING USB-UIRT and this via the internet, it actually works quite fine...there is some latencies but it is workable.
-Implemented DELAY in milliseconds in activity action, to separate IR blast or USB-UIRT wifi blast to set delays in between blasted actions...
-Implemented MOVE UP/ DOWN action in the list. It supports multi-selections move up/down of contiguous on non contiguous items
(See snapshots above )
-Improved PLUGWISE threads getting watts info.
IMPORTANT: If you use remoteGATE and did design couple screen, you will have open your screen in activity action and click on your buttons that defines your actions so that the XML updates. There as been quite some change. Again you just must open the action for the button and click OK. You don't have to delete/recreate your actions.
Sorry for the inconveniences...
08/12/2013:
-Redesign of all menus
- Multi device support mdpi/hdpi and xhdpi ( minimum Android 4.1)
-Improve performance loading activity ( this became apparent when using the GALAXY ACE)
-Undo / Redo
-Generate remote template from the DEVICE database
-Support LEARNING when using RemoteGate Python socket server ( provided in the ZIP)
10/11/2013:
-Soon an update : Generate remote activity from LIRC remotes
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/
Here a long video showing I believe how simple this is to create remotes both from remote central and LIRC:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cjhdpox3ji...110_122024.mp4
29/10/2013:
-Worked on menu ICONS design...not fully done now.
-Auto generate remote activity from device database. This is something that I believe really will help the QUICK usage of the application..See snapshot bellow and short explanation
-In design activity : Added cloning of selected objects. Also now for the selected item(s) you can change the picture ( before that was not possible, you add to remove the object and re-create it)
-Blasting IR was lagging : I did not see that as I use IP wifi to blast from a USB-UIRT device, I don't use the generally the S4 IR blaster. Fixed issue doing threads. It is fine now at least much better. Still there is no long press IE for volume support now...
-Try to improve TextView / zooming / position: It is better but I'm still not fully satisfied here: I guess the idea to render bmps from text so to allow pinch zoom on ImageView was a mistake first place, better increase font size through pinch zoom... It is not so critical for the moment but ZOOMING certain TextView that has single or multiple line can be visually slightly of...
26/08/2013: Bug fixes, integrating JNI LIRC and LIRC2XML to conver LIRC code to pronto code. See post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...45955630593165
12/08/2013: Bug fixes... but new bugs as more feature came in. LABEL in activities are still not fully implemented and FC quite a lot ( changing color or editing)
05/08/2013: More features... IPCAM view in remote activity. Only rtsp stream ( mjpgeg lib out there very unstable.) For the moment only a VIDEO shows the feature.
I need to stabilize all these new things ( especially labels). I'm just toying for the moment
04/08/2013: Added TextView ( LABEL for remote screen in design ACTIVITY). This is not complete for the moment; i.e.: Label will not show when launching the remote.
This will be soon implemented as well as the need to re-organizing design activity menu.
27/07/2013 : "Design Activity" were you bind IR Code from the DB improved a lot. It now shows existing binding(s) for the selected button.
You can also delete (multiple) bound actions...When entering lot of actions, you will notice some performance issues...but this is not really a problem, just does not look that professional...will find a solution.
22/07/2013 : Start remove the custom DIALOG and use menudrawer instead i.e. : in design activity the created activity will show dynamically in menu instead of using a DIALOG...
20/07/2013 : Use simonvt menu drawer, many bug fixes and couple features implemented
04/06/2013 : Some minor update and improvements. Start to work the alignments of picture in the design of a remote activity.

Very good work here man think you can go quite far with this,
I request though that you can add custom code support as there are TONS of devices that the mainstream apps currently available dont support, anyway best of luck and great work!

Thanks for encouraging me. Sweated real hard on the design activity layouts and android graphic matrix; you can put icon there, positions, zooming, background etc.. Need to work on alignment sizing, and grouping etc... Also the fun was on the scraping remotecentral in the device db view...
I'm not sure what you mean by custom code you mean other code formats than pronto code?
Also if anyone can tell me if gs4 IR supports learning that be great or how to find out...
Thanks

Great work, customisability is what Im waiting for...what a shame it has not learning function ...after the last update I have no problem with Watchon to remote common devices like TV, DVD, etc. But I miss support for air conditioning, DVB-T TV card for notebook. Is it possible to add these types of devices to your support?
edit: OK, so every app I saw on google play is based on internet database, but what if I have file with code to my device? Is it possible to add support for manual IR codes file upload for some special devices? There is possibility to download files from some sites (e.g. http://irremote.psiloc.com)

Customisability is what Im waiting for : Yes me too as I used and continue to use Pronto remote and these one IMO are the most customizable out there.
So the basis of this project is to make it as customizable as Pronto remotes...that is ambitious
Having a remote on your Galaxy S4 is NICE but if you think about it will you use it really as such? an universal remote control? I don't think so BUT you might in couple years ( when the device is obsolete ) to use it as such assuming it does a good job as any universal remote...then it makes sense.. The GS4 beam though seems relatively narrow / weak well comparing with a pronto remote, it is OK but need to be more aimed to the device... Hence using a Gateway to something running on a PC or other devices is a +.
The "activities" in the APP is kind of like launcher ( of course less nice currently ) where you can send IR from the GS4 or actually anything via TCP to a server to either send again IR via USB-UIRT or Plusgwise (a smart plug that monitors also energy consumption). This gateway part I will provide later because the server is written using Python and actually runs on my FritzBox router and it be I guess to complicated for most people to MOD it to make it work for them assuming they have the USB-UIRT dongle or even Plugwise smart plugs. So when I heard GS4 will have IR I though it is time I start to share what I did and later one this gateway will come. Also button could be coupled to scripts...using
android-scripting
Furthermore using DEVICE like JB Lightman : This is a cute device that runs by itself a little box that convert IR to most cheap FM switchers or what ever you can think of to further control you house. For example I was out of my home for a month, remotely can activate web cam ( power one the cheap FM plug ) then switch on TV via IR change channel what ever...as if at home...
Does not make much sense but can simulate presence....
But I miss support for air conditioning, DVB-T TV card for notebook. Is it possible to add these types of devices to your support?
....but what if I have file with code to my device? Is it possible to add support for manual IR codes
Yes you can directly in the APP see the picture attached surely it be a pain to enter in from the app (long codes) . The DEVICE database is an XML and as such you can edit it with what ever you want.
Cheers

Yes. This will by the way stay a fully FREE APP even if posted on Google.
I hope by this Sunday to post on my FTP the APP and the required files. I need to clean up / remove couple stuff like ICONS that are probably copyrighted.
Some other ICONS are freely avail on the internet and I will leave them. In any case you can just create your own stuff...
Also will need to do a README for basic usage. Well this should not be complicated basically the process is
1)install APK
2)copy the REMOTE folder to your SDCARD; this be the place activities (your remote screens) XML files and DATABASE XML will be saved as well as a folder containing PICTURES backgrounds etc for your remote screen and buttons
3)Go in device database and fetch remote codes and test one or all in a list picker ( hopefully you will find some of your devices) else try to find the pronto code of your device and edit the XML or edit it in the APP ( good luck that be a pain for long codes)
4)select the working code => this creates the DEVICE DB
5)Menu : Design an activity layout ; add controls ( buttons ) zoom places them where you want. This is currently OK but there is no alignment to grid or to other controls (align top bottom etc) implemented currently ( this will come) so placement work but is is a pain i.e.: to align/size neatly buttons
6)Save your screen layout ( the first one be your HOME and home buttons you create will jump to your other defined activities). Create layout for TV, STEREO etc....
7)Edit activity actions : Here you can BIND to the button in your activities to ANOTHER activity (JUMP) or AN IR code...this is a list so you can perform multiple actions jump to activity and or send IR codes. Pause / delay not implemented currently)
8)finally in menu select USE REMOTE. The DEFAULT activity name ( screen you create ) must be called HOME and use.
What is badely missing
1)alignment of controls in activity creation, grid aligments, possibly grouping / moving zoom of the grouped pictures
2)Better remote UI IE: when pressing button showing button pressed / de-pressed.
3)handling long press
4)Labels in activities and possibly standard object CheckBox, Radio, Spinner, ScrollBar
5)many more improvements. Like generating automatically an activity screen from a device found on the internet so that later on for each button an customer ICON can be set
6)Features : Since the activity are XML serialized as well as the DB it be nice and more convenient to create activities / devices from a PC making a .NET app...then transfer the XML file to the GS4.
The state though currently is functional for me and quite handy.
anyway more on this next week.
Cheers
JM

Awesome initiative.
Will follow this thread to see how it develops.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the progress. I'm also available for alpha and beta testing

For MySky HD issue, after you setup TV select "set top box", select "Sky" under "brand" and after some failed codes it found the right code. It works for me (MySky HD Italy)

Good work and I'm going to be following along. I've done several prontos setups, both the old and the newer pro version so I have a couple thoughts. Its very difficult to have much automation without being able to set delays. Sometimes even direct dialing a tv channel wont work without an appropriate delay. You may want to reconsider putting this out there until you do add them because you are not going to be able to develop the application very far when people cant do (some) basic functions. You cant get feedback on something when people run into show stoppers before they can give it to you.
A would further this and say that having some basic four ways, keypads, and transport buttons along with at least adding the ability to add a text label to buttons would also be helpful as setting up a bunch of buttons and then trying to remember what they do can be a hard and really slow you down. I used to do a quick mock up of differnet setups on my prontos and to save time on what might be changed anyways I wouldn't label or customize them but it turned out the extra confusion took more time to sort out than it was to simply throw a quick label on them which I could change later and I eventually started doing that way from scratch.
I also agree with your thoughts on a pc interface. I know a lot of people wouldn't want that but if you get into these setups you end up having a lot of pages, jumps, macros, buttons, icons, etc and it would be hugely easier to deal with it all on the pc where you can view multiple pages similtaneously.
Anyhow good luck with it. I likely jump on when you get a little further along.

" I've done several prontos setups, both the old and the newer pro version "
I can see the pronto aficionado here.... I'm the same currently TSU9300. Lovely remote but so expensive even more than the SG4 ( 700 EUR 3 / 4 years ago!!). But still the best out there... So the goal is to try to mimic one in case it dies on me... I say mimic cause I know it is challenging at least to me as I'm relatively new to android programing and have relatively few hours a week on this project. But that is a challenge and I will learn a lot about android did already. All is there in android to get things close to these marvelous remotes... I'm a hobbyist "developer" and ONLY ANDROID allows this so hat down to Android...
PC interface: in a much, much later stage assuming I managed these challenges. Designing screen would be so much more easier yet I feel with Android it it possible to get it done really well all is there for that...
"Anyhow good luck with it "
I surely will need it. Hopefully this thread will not be a waste of anyone time, for the one that will try it...
Cheers

thanks

FAQ
Q: What is this app used for?
A: OpenConnect is used to access virtual private networks (VPNs) which utilize the Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN protocol. A typical use case might involve logging into your workplace remotely to check email after hours.
If in doubt, check with your I.T. administrator to see if a suitable service is available.
Q: How do I get started?
A: In most cases, you'll just need to create a profile and enter the hostname of the VPN gateway. The other fields in the profile are all optional and should be left alone unless there is a specific need to change them.
Once you've set up the profile, select the VPN entry and OpenConnect will attempt to establish a new session. If this fails, the "Log" tab may provide helpful diagnostic information.
Q: How do I authenticate using an SSL client certificate?
A: Copy your certificate files to Android's external storage directory (nominally /sdcard or the Downloads folder), then edit the VPN profile and make the following changes:
P12 or PFX file: select "User certificate", pick the file from the list, then touch "select". Leave "Private key" blank.
Single PEM/CRT/CER file: same as above.
Separate PEM/CRT/CER and KEY files: populate "User certificate" with the certificate file, and "Private key" with the key file.
When finished, delete the certificate files from external storage so they cannot be stolen by other apps.
If you are generating your own keys (e.g. for use with your ocserv gateway), some basic CA setup instructions are posted here.
Q: Will OpenConnect work with non-AnyConnect VPNs?
A: Unfortunately the software design is tied very closely to the AnyConnect requirements and the libopenconnect interfaces. Therefore it only works with Cisco AnyConnect and ocserv gateways.
Q: Will OpenConnect work with Cisco IPsec VPNs running on an ASA?
A: OpenConnect supports SSL VPN (CSTP + DTLS) only.
Q: How do I import a SecurID software token?
A: If you have an URL that starts with "com.rsa.securid.iphone://" or "http://127.0.0.1/securid/" in your email, click on it and tell OpenConnect to add it to the desired VPN profile. If you just have a raw token string then write it to a text file, copy it under /sdcard, click "Token string" in the VPN profile editor, then select the filename.
If you have an "sdtid" XML file, copy it to /sdcard and then import it.
Q: Is it possible to skip all login prompts when connecting?
A: If you have saved your username, password, or other credentials, or if you are using SecurID or certificate authentication, you can try enabling "Batch Mode" in the VPN profile to skip the login dialogs. If you need to change your saved password later or have trouble connecting, just disable batch mode.
The VPN warning dialog is a security feature built into the Android OS. It cannot be bypassed by OpenConnect, but if your device is rooted, you can try installing the Xposed Framework and then activating the Auto VPN Dialog Confirm module. Some notes on this are posted here.
Due to the user interaction required by these dialogs, it is not always possible to reliably start up the VPN in the background. So a "start-on-boot" feature is not currently provided.
Q: How do I improve battery life while the VPN is up?
A: One option is to select "Pause when asleep" under Settings. The downside is that VPN access will be temporarily stopped when the screen is off. Also, ASA gateways sometimes get annoyed with constant reconnections and may prematurely terminate your session after a few days.
Another option is to contact your server administrator and request that they disable dead peer detection (DPD), increase the idle timeout to >1hr, and increase the keepalive interval to ~5min or so.
Q: How do I use OpenConnect with AFWall+?
A: There are a few caveats to keep in mind when using an Android firewall with VPN:
* If you run KitKat, use Android 4.4.2 or higher and AFWall 1.2.8 or higher. Android 4.4 and 4.4.1 have a serious TCP MSS bug which causes stalled connections and/or poor performance. AFWall <=1.2.7 does not have the extra logic needed to handle the routing changes in KitKat.
* Always allow traffic from the VPN app on all interfaces. In particular, you should whitelist VPN traffic from OpenConnect, as OpenConnect sends DNS requests over the VPN interface every few minutes to help keep the connection from timing out.
Q: Are any apps incompatible with VPN?
A: Apps which perform their own DNS resolution, such as Firefox, may have issues picking up the latest system DNS settings when connecting to the VPN. This can be a problem if your system DNS servers are not accessible over the VPN's routes, or if you are trying to look up hostnames that do not have public (internet) DNS entries.
Q: Under what circumstances will OpenConnect request root?
A: There are two root-only features shown under Settings; both are disabled by default. One setting works around a ROM bug in CM9 which sets incorrect permissions on /dev/tun, preventing VpnService from passing traffic to the tunnel interface; the other setting loads tun.ko on ROMs that neglect to load it by default.
Based on user feedback and testing, future releases may autodetect these conditions.
Q: How do I send a problem report?
A: Navigate to Log -> (menu) -> Send log file. Please be sure to furnish a complete, accurate description of the issue you are seeing, as the logs do not always show a smoking gun.

hello cernekee,
I was using smoothconnect on my note3 and It was working just fine, but now after I update my note3 to kitkat it surfs only couple of things like "play store", google search, and whatsup. but all other web sites and programs do not!!
now I tried out this program "open connect" with some hope but nope, I does the same thing. It only opens play store and google search but no other things.
I wonder what cause this problem, any suggestions please??

Sometimes an MTU or TCP MSS problem could cause this symptom. What kind of gateway are you connecting to? Are you the admininstrator?
Older versions of KitKat did have an MSS problem; I think 4.4.1+ is OK: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61948
There are a few other outstanding problems on <= 4.4.2: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...n-routing-fixes-are-planned-for-some-of-them/
Do you see the same problem connecting from other systems, like a Windows PC, or even the Cisco AnyConnect Android app?

Hi cernekee,
I have an openSSL Cisco vpn connection provided by my university, I hooked it with D-615 Dlink router through DHCP.
Cisco AnyConnect for andriod does not work on our university network because it asks for a certificate which my uni does not provide. that's why I'm using smoothconnect.
anyways, right now I have a flawless connection on my all devices on my room's wireless like my both Win7 laptops and my galaxy S2 andriod 4.1.2.
all work except my note 3 after I updated it to (4.4.2). I don't know if it's a IPv6 or MTU problem,
I tried to decrease MTU value in smoothconnect but with no success. as Cisco stated in: AnyConnect Android 4.4 (KitKat) Compatibility Update (CSCul28340)
any suggestions please???

I don't see this university's VPN requesting a certificate (i.e. SSL client cert). It just asks for a group/username/password.
Are you getting an error that says that the gateway is not licensed for mobile, after you enter your password?
that's why I'm using smoothconnect.

Can you grab a packet capture when you're seeing the connectivity failures, and email me the result? e.g.
Code:
adb push tcpdump /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
su
chmod 755 tcpdump
./tcpdump -n -i tun0 -w out.pcap

yes that's right, Cisco anyconnect asks only for username/ password but when I try to start a connection it ends up with no license error!
that's way I'm using smoothconnect and now openconnect on my both andriod phones.
now for my problem, I didn't get what do you mean by connectivity failure because I'm not getting any connectivity failure messages on my note3 after update to 4.4.2 neither on smoothconnect nor on openconnect. it connects as usual and I can see some traffic packets are being transfered but I can only surf google serch, youtube and some other stuff like play store and whatsup. whenever I try to surf any other website like for example bbc news the browser( chrome, opera, Dolfin..) just waits and then ends up with nothing like there is no internet connection!
did I explain my problem clearly? is it an Ipv6 problem? I'm really confused and frustrated

OK. This is because the Cisco mobile clients look for an "X-CSTP-License: accept" header from the gateway after authenticating, to see if the operator has paid extra to support the Cisco mobile client. libopenconnect-based clients (including SmoothConnect) do not require this header.

I can take a look at this to see what is happening. Just start up tcpdump to capture the tun0 traffic (see above instructions), then try visiting the BBC news site and maybe a few other non-working sites. Then hit control-C to interrupt tcpdump, make sure there is some data in the pcap file, and email me the pcap file.

Hi,
I don't know how to make Tcpdump on my note3 not to mention hitting the control-c on andriod. what instruction did you mean?

Do you have a friend who is familiar with ADB, rooting phones, etc. who might be able to help out in person?
You could also try something like Shark for Root, or follow this video. Make sure you capture on the tun0 interface so that we can see what is happening on the VPN tunnel. If you capture from the wifi interface you'll still see traffic, but everything will be encrypted so it will not be possible to diagnose the failure.

I got it. first I rooted my note3 then I followed the instruction in the video and here it is, I hope it's what you asked me for. waiting for your diagnosis, fingers crossed

According to this trace (partial screenshot attached), the Note 3 is advertising an MSS of 1460 bytes on IPv4 TCP connections. This looks abnormally high for a VPN interface; the other direction is using an MSS of 1380, which looks more realistic. The MSS for IPv4 would normally be the tun0 MTU minus 40 bytes. I am assuming this means the MSS is being computed from the 1500-byte wlan0/eth0 MTU, not the smaller tun0 MTU.
When Google fixed the MSS bug in Android 4.4.1, they left the following comments in the changelog:
Code:
commit ca5b4e8d0d8219273ecf0961ed6e8c47ab5d798a
Author: JP Abgrall <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Nov 20 17:27:01 2013 -0800
SecondaryTableController: force the MSS to match pmtu on TCP SYN
Without this change, the VPN sets up a tun/ppp that needs a small
MTU, and during TCP SYN the MSS will end up matching the outgoing iface
MTU which is potentially too big.
This leads to connection flakiness. The wrong MSS is visible by
tcpdump-ing on the tun/ppp device.
With this change, the MSS now is correct.
[b]It requires the kernel to be configured with
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS=y

Change-Id: I254d8c39435b92dff91931e461e1efb8b35f6b1e
Note the bolded sentences (emphasis mine). I suspect that your device is running the latest AOSP netd code that has the fix (if the ROM is indeed based on AOSP 4.4.1/4.4.2), but the kernel may be missing the TCPMSS target. If you see an error when running this command as root, it probably means that kernel support is missing:
Code:
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN SYN -d 1.2.3.4 -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu
Toward the bottom of the page on the original Android 4.4 MSS bug report I see a couple of reports from other Note 3 owners that the problem still isn't fixed for them, so it may be something particular to this device (such as the kernel configuration).
I do not see any evidence of IPv6 usage in your log, which rules out some of the known 4.4.2 VPN issues.
If this does turn out to be a kernel problem, you can try a custom kernel from XDA (assuming you can unlock your bootloader), or you could file a bug report with Samsung asking them to enable CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS=y in the next OTA update. From their end this is a simple, low-risk change.

as you can see in the attachment I applied the code with no error message. so in this case I assume I have no problem with the kernel? right?
then what causes the problem? and what can I do in order to solve it?

Can you connect to the VPN, try to access a few "bad" sites, and then post the full output from:

Hmm, on my KitKat device I have an st_mangle_POSTROUTING chain which does the TCPMSS clamping:
Code:
Chain st_mangle_POSTROUTING (1 references)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 TCPMSS tcp -- * tun0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcpflags: 0x06/0x02 TCPMSS clamp to PMTU
I did not see this in your output. Maybe Samsung is using an outdated version of netd.
Try running this command as root after bringing up the VPN and see if you are able to pass traffic with the bad sites:
Code:
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -o tun0 --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu
If not, post the new "iptables -t mangle -nxvL" output so we can look at the traffic counters.
Also can you attach your /system/bin/netd binary?
Thanks.

are kidding me!! it really worked. after I run the the code I tried to access all the bad sites and all of them worked!! but not as fast as my other mobil SG2. I noticed that it takes noticably much longer to access them. but still, It worked and It's fantastic!!
any ways, I rebooted my note3 to see if it will work again but it turned out it didn't! I need to re-enter the code again to make it work. now could you tell me what is my phones problem exactly? despite the re-entering issue I'm very happy that I finally can use internet on my note3 again thanks to you cernekee.

The ROM is supposed to add that rule automatically, but it doesn't.
If you attach your /system/bin/netd binary and output from "getprop" I'll try to figure out why.

Works like a charm with the lastest Slimkat on Nexus 4. Thanks a lot !
Just add a widget to one click connect from the launcher and it will be the best VPN apps that I've use.
Today I've a Tasker task to launch Anyconnect with uri and simulate touchs screen to automate my connection.
@ edit :
Is there a way to don't have the attached screen ?

I tried the dos attack one..i mean i just clicked on dos on the side bar (didnt pressed any button after that)
Did i did something illegal?
May be i should stay away...

doctor_droid,
It must work..
But Dos attack only floods victim and present in the program more to the collection.. If you start the packet sniffer after dos, you can see that.
More details can be found in the help

I meant did i initiated any dos attack? I clicked nowehere except on the sidebar dos text... M worried :/ being a dentist thats too difficult to understand. Sorry for being so noob abt such a good app..will read help first..

doctor_droid,
If you only open Dos attack, it no started.
For start you must set addreses of victim/attacker(or use random, stay it as default) and press start.
Sorry if i'm not understand correct your problem
