Hi there! We are a group of iPhone / Android developers who have developed a suite of web services to assist us and other developers in building great apps.
After numerous projects we have become tired of having to set up the server scripts to do all the same things for different clients. Most of the server functionality
is typical: 1) storing location data for Google Maps; 2) storing users' high scores / ranks; 3) sending Push Notifications; 4) storing files / XML; etc.
We couldn't use the existent solutions because in some cases they didn't provide the required functionality and in most cases they require your users to be exposed to some social network of theirs, while our clients just want a simple functionality without users knowing of any services behind that.
So we have launched what we call Mob1serv, a universal server solution for the typical needs of iPhone / Android apps. It consists of modules which deal with most common tasks:
• High Scores - a powerful online high scores table
• PushNote - a module allowing to send immediate or delayed Push Notifications (you can build instant messengers or alarm clocks, anything with this)
• GeoPos - stores locations of Google Map objects, their statuses and 'last seen online' time
• OAuth contracter - allows you to implement transparent authentication and integration with Facebook, Twitter, Google etc
• More modules to come!
We have tried to make it as simple as possible for developers, so you just need to register at the back end and then you can add as many apps as you want and start using these services. From the client (app) side, you need to add a library to your project and put a corresponding ID there, that's it.
The service is free, it's a 'freemium' model. It has been built by developers for developers. Some developers and apps are already using it as it was open for alpha testing before, but now we are launching it open for the world so that we can see what you're thinking of it and also get your feedback of how we can improve the existent modules or what modules to add next. Welcome to Mob1serv - mob1serv.com!
First of all I want to applaud the integrity of the team working on OmniRom and for standing for software freedom. As the only GPL ROM on the phone, I believe it will reach a certain prominence once critical mass of functionality is achieved. I have some suggestions that I was hoping to get feedback for from the Devs here.
1- What is the possibility for devising an in-place upgrade system that works across future OS version upgrades for major changes in AOSP? (something akin the upgrade systems of current GNU/Linux systems)
2- Incorporating apps from the guardianproject (.info) a privacy and security oriented group that make secure messaging apps and TOR for Android. That will be our anwser to the so called secure chat of CM.
3- Cooperation with the largest FOSS software repo F-Droid and perhaps including it as a default app repo option for OmniRom.
4- Now this is a big one, but as a distro that prizes Software Freedom and the GPL above all else you are in a unique position to be a demo showcase for incorporating the major app frameworks being ported to Android like Qt and Gnome. Arranging with the devs from KDE and Gnome to make this a reality would be a major milestone for the FOSS movement's efforts to bring free software in an environment that is being increasingly closed off like what Google is doing with their absorption of features in proprietary apps and the treachery of the CM turncloaks.
Casual observer here. I don't think it's accurate to call it a GPL ROM given how many non-free drivers are required to get working WiFi and so on. OmniROM encourages GPL as a way of keeping the community honest but I don't think it's set in stone.
1. upgrades on Android don't happen in same way as GNu/Linux: it's always a fresh install. CM already does this, or you can use recovery mode.
2. good idea! more generally, system wide proxy settings which would allow all traffic to go through Tor. Tor is one part of remaining anonymous, the browser needs to be locked down for example. Guardian Project say that their companion browser, Or web, doesn't work on Android 4.4, and they might stop developing it. There are other Android techniques for anonymity e.g. xprivacy.
3. F-Droid builds and signs apps, it's hard to see room for cooperation. It will soon have ability to install apps silently if part of a ROM. They dropped their Android.mk; looks like time to bring it back, maybe with package name change option.
4. Qt was announced on day one at the BBQ!
Hi there.
I developed this app and companion web service for the sole purpose of being able to securely and privately message other people with the ease and simplicity of a normal messenger.
This is a multi-platform free messenger app that encrypts every message sent (client side) to be only decrypted and read by the intended recipient in a streamlined way. It is a fully featured version of it's web based counterpart sTXT - https://stxt.com
I also believe this is the first messenger that has Google Glass support. It's still in beta, so if you want to try it out, let me know and I can setup a beta channel on Google Play to have you guys test it out and integrate it properly.
Features:
- Fully Encrypted Messaging (nobody but you and the person you send messages to will be able to read them)
- Minimalistic Interface
- Google Glass support (in beta)
- Companion website (sTXT)
- Custom Entropy (Long-tapping on a friend allows you to generate a random cipher that can be used to encrypt the messages if you don't trust the apps encryption)
- Elegant privacy (I've made a couple of attempts here to prevent people from screenshot'ing your conversation with them, test them by changing message types)
- Multimedia messaging (images and audio can be sent to friends securely)
- Message Validation (by long-tapping on any persons profile image, a secure connection to stxt.com is made to open a webpage that verifies if the message is legitimate or has been tampered with)
Download:
- Google Play (see attachment for APK)
- Apple App Store (Coming Soon)
If you have any issues or bug reports please e-mail me immediately. Thanks.
Bump for some feedback.
Bump from grave.
Still bumping for some feedback and some new glass testers.
Just what I was looking for…
sweet if your claims are true this lil app is what I was looking for. Gonna test it out I'll post any feedback.
Hi everyone,
I am a privacy guy and I just started a new project called Articul8 with the aim of building a new lightweight Android ROM that is both secure and has privacy built in to the core. I recently wrote about the project on LinkedIn (but I am not allowed to post links yet on this forum) and there has been quite a lot of interest from the privacy arena.
The plan is to develop apps which host all their data off the device on private remote servers - but more than that, the project will seek to develop popular apps which are hosted serverside, to prevent tracking and profiling.
I have already written a serverside Twitter app which does exactly this (I just need to write the client interface for Android) some time ago as explained in the linked article and I have also recently written a contacts app for Android using Ionic Framework. The purpose of this post is to try and gather some feedback and support in developing the project further. I expect this project to be a long term project which grows significantly over time and I am already planning server hosted apps for LinkedIn, Facebook, G+ as well as looking into SIPjs to create a VOIP client as well. What I haven't managed to plan out yet is how to build the ROM with most of the native apps stripped out and replaced with these new remote services.
I would like to make the entire project open source and publicly available - none of the apps will include any advertising or third party APIs - the whole point of the project is to firewall the device from all third parties as well as firewalling all the data from the device (in the event the device is compromised). All services should require passwords to open to prevent data being compromised should a device be stolen or taken from the owner. In essence the hardware will become dumb.
All feedback appreciated and if you are interested in contributing, please get in touch.
I posted this to /r/Android before, but they suck, so I'll try my hand at posting it here.

I'd like to announce KeepShare Lite for KeePass
Well, it's not really a new app. KeepShare has been under development and available on the Play Store since 2013. The FREE Lite version is available now.
What is it?
KeepShare is a KeePass database reading and writing app for Android.
What makes it special?
It is built from the ground up to be completely different from any other solution available on Android. This application is the only implementation of KeePass for Android that allows one to securely unlock the database with a 4+ digit PIN. It also looks good because it's fully Material Design.
KeepShare is one of the first apps to have a custom keyboard for password entry, in addition to searching for database entries using a "Share" mechanism (hence the name KeepShare). In addition to this, it is also among the first password managers on Android to provide complete auto-fill support across all apps, including Chrome (requires Android 5.0+ for Chrome).
In addition to this, KeepShare supports Android 4.4+ Storage Access Framework, this means you can automatically connect and synchronize to your choice of cloud storage provider, including Google Drive, Box.net, OneDrive, etc.
It is also fully compatible with KeePass because it uses a 100% direct port of KeePassLib from C# to Java
How is KeepShare Lite different from KeepShare?
KeepShare Lite provides read-only support for KeePass databases. I recently completed write support for KeepShare, and as a result, I feel that it's enough of a feature delineation where I can give KeepShare Lite to everyone for free! Why do I want to give it away? Because everyone should be improving their security situation by making better use of strong passwords, and security should be easy.
Great, where can I get it?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hanhuy.android.keepshare.lite
Help! I'm stuck
Yes, it's open source: issue tracker on github https://github.com/pfn/keepshare
I suppose posting here works, too!
What's this KeePassLib port?
Find it on github https://github.com/pfn/keepassj
How can a 4 digit PIN possibly be safe!?
The security is implemented by using a 2-part encryption key for your master passphrase. Your PIN is only one part of the key. The other part of the key is uploaded into app-private data in your Google Drive account. Information stored on your phone cannot be accessed without the key from Google Drive and vice versa. (Also a first, no other app does this to enhance your security).
Can I create databases using KeepShare?
Not yet, for now, you will need to create it from any other app that allows database creation.
What if I don't like it?!
Queue up the 1* reviews!
Trivia
I'm also the developer of keepasshttp, chromeipass and passifox, trusted by over 100k users. Although it's been mostly sidelined and I haven't actively developed it in forever. Any volunteers?
