Hi everyone,

I recently got a Galaxy S7 edge (wonderful phone!) and it came with a fingerprint reader, and as a developer, it was another feature a developer can build an app around. I became curious and I was looking for some apps that support fingerprint readers, and came across MacID, which is an iPhone/Mac app that allows you to use the TouchID sensor on the iPhone to unlock your Mac. Sadly, there's no Android alternative for it.

So I decided to make DroidID. It's a free Android app using which you can unlock your PC/Laptop using the fingerprint reader on your phone. It makes it very convenient and secure to unlock your device. All you have to do is pair the Android app with the client app, and whenever you want to unlock your PC/Laptop, you just press on the unlock notification and scan your fingerprint and that's it!

Requirements

An Android device running Marshmallow (or above), with a fingerprint reader

Any Mac running El Capitan (or above). Support for Windows coming shortly

You can download the app and the client from my website: www.suyashsrijan.com/droidid

It's my first cross-platform app! If you have any comments or suggestions or anything else, please feel free to leave them below.

I cant wait to try this on PC...i've been waiting for an app just like this...keep up the good work :)
[Android Apps and Games] crashDebug:
First of all, great job! it's not perfect yet, but still works very well. Eagerly waiting for Windows compatibility.

I'm just wondering, though, what kind of data gets exchanged over the internet, and where exactly does it go?
[Android Apps and Games] ssrij:
Thank you :) Windows support is on the way, can't guarantee it will work, but I am working on it.

The only data exchanged between the client and the phone app is a command that the phone app sends to the client to tell it to unlock the screen. The password is stored securely in Keychain (encrypted) on your Mac, and your fingerprints are only read from your Android phone using official APIs; the app only verifies that the fingerprints registered on your device matches the one you scanned.
[Android Apps and Games] @nonymous_Prodject:
I waited so long for this software, looking forward to the support of Windows. :)
[Android Apps and Games] crashDebug:
Thanks alot for the clarification! I'd suggest, if I may, copy/pasting this into the Play Store description and maybe the official project's website too.
[Android Apps and Games] ssrij:
I have already mentioned it in the Play store description, and also in the Help section on the app!
[Android Apps and Games] jameschao:
Push notification when Mac needs to be unlocked

Great app! What do you think about having the Android app pop up a notification whenever the Mac presents its lock screen? This way it'll be really easy to unlock from the Android lock screen. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Nous16:
Thanks, great App. But how do you send the data to Mac?

Could not be set up on macOS 10.12 with android 6.0

Is it supported macOS 10.12? When I tried to set up on macOS 10.12 with android 6.0, it simply told me it is ready but nothing happened on my phone. How could I deal with it?
[Android Apps and Games] oopsgeneration88:
can u try to implement the same thing via bluetooth.....& if this is implemented via bluetooth it will be extremely faster like the apple watch....also the unlock is good....but still few features like your android app can be much advanced...

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

it does work with 6.0 & sierra 10.12.1

Unlocking a PC/Laptop using the fingerprint reader from the phone is an amazing feature. Need detail information.
[Android Apps and Games] ionSeven:
Still no windows version?
[Android Apps and Games] ssrij:
Can you provide some more details?
[Android Apps and Games] ssrij:
Not yet, but maybe in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] robtheslob:
Could you provide a news feed to watch or email alert for the release of a windows version?

Hello, I have succesfully connected the mac and the app, but whenever I try to unlock mac, the droidid types in the wrong password, even though I have double checked the password. I have android 7.1.2 and sierra 10.12.3. Can anyone help me ? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ssrij:
Hi, I would suggest downloading the latest version of the Mac app from the website, as I recently fixed this issue. Please remove the old version from your Mac before using the new one!

Feature request: Linux unlocker using Ubuntu or kde plasma (sddm). Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] matze19999:
are you already planning to make a windows version? :)
[Android Apps and Games] omarquazi:
Window's is close to impossible because of how the winlogon.exe works. It doesn't allow any custom input unless the program itself is a windows service, even then with the Windows 10 Creators Update who knows what else will change. Anyway, great tool! Looks good, unfortunately I am a Linux user so I haven't been able to test it :(
[Android Apps and Games] theButcher03:
So, how did Samsung Flow works? I mean, Samsung Flow is now able to unlock any Windows 10 device running Creators Update
[Android Apps and Games] geovass:
I am trying to run the app from my iMac and i get "DroidID quit unexpectedly" (running on macOS High Sierra). Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] imatheus.sm:
I was thinking precisely about that. I researched for a bit, and discovered that there are some apps (modern apps only, to the extent of my knowledge) that, if certified by Microsoft, can offer alternative ways to authenticate the user through Windows Hello. The way I see it, Samsung Flow takes advantage of that by tying the access to the computer to its mobile application, which by its turn asks recurrently for the user's fingerprint in order to sign into Windows.

Despite my understanding with regards to the limitations of Windows, it still amazes me how brilliant ideas like this have not been materialized in the Windows environment. Microsoft even got to make a Windows Phone app called Phone Sign-In, but that evolved into nothing. With a bunch of companies of the likes of LastPass, DashLane, 1Password and others, it is astonishing to acknowledge that only Samsung Flow has materialized this idea.

As a user, I know that it's always easier said than done. However, I still wanted to demonstrate my interest in the development of DroidID beyond Apple's ecosystem.

Apps like these are the ones capable of making our lives that much easier!

[Android Apps and Games] mateushonorato:
Any plans to get it to work with linux?
[Android Apps and Games] ShadowEO:
May wish to look into how Rohos Welcome manages to do this. They manage it by implementing their own custom GINA as a winlogon plugin, which supports USB key login as well as Bluetooth Beacon login via a phone app. This is all done without a modern/UWP application, so you are not restricted to UWP apps or Windows Hello integration.

Microsoft has a wonderful set of pages for implementing a custom logon provider like this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380543(v=vs.85).aspx and there's more on the internet.
[Android Apps and Games] Dipanshu7:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] paulesport:
Wow, haven't been in here for a year and have so much to catch up on. I'm looking to get my hands on a Att Tilt soon and my question is.... Which is better to have the Att Rom or the Kaiser Rom? Or is there a cooked Rom which has the best of both worlds?

Also, Does the Kaiser rom come with the Tom Tom Software?

Does the Att Tilt Rom have Touch FLO? Does Kaiser Rom have Touch FLO?

Thanks so much in advance. I can't wait to Super Tweak my Tilt like I used to with my Jam, 8125 and TYTN back in the day!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Maarten_0031:
Can't comment on what's a better ROM as I have a Dutch Orange test ROM (which has the worst batterylife ever by the way) but my personal experience is that branded software There is no cooked ROM (yet). The chefs are working on it so untill that time it's biting nails for everyone :)

Normally all ROM's for the Kaiser, even the branded, come with TomTom software. GPS Quality is excellent.

As far as I know, all ROM's come with touchflo. Not the cube as on the ELF, but you can scroll by moving your finger around on the screen. Works great!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wattsja:
Wrong.

Actually, very few ROMs come with TomTom. In fact, I believe it is only the European unbranded ROMs that contain the TomTom software on the install cd (not built into the ROM). The AT&T rom will NOT have TomTom but will instead have TeleNav.

Having said that .. you can download the version of TomTom that came with the TyTAN II and it *may* work on the Tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] McHale:
The better ROM is going to be the HTC in this case. AT&T loaded it up with demo-ware. They also removed some things that are standard.

I have the Kaiser and will be ordering the Tilt probably tomorrow so I should be able to give a better side-by-side shortly.

But I guarentee that the HTC ROM will be going on the Tilt as soon as possible.

-Mc
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] evolution_theory:
DEFFINATELY the HTC Rom..

ATT's will have nerfs and bloatware.. unnecessary software that hogs memory.

ATT's doesn't have the home screen either.

Just keep in mind though whether you're using a BETA HTC rom or an official release. Always try and stay with an Official Release.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] McHale:
potential problem #1 with HTC firmware on the Tilt:

If you take a look at the keys on the Tilt, the characters don't match up with the Kaiser. So before making the FW switch, we have to figure out which keyboard layout code to use. SHOULD be simple but you never know. Compare things like the : and ; and = and $ and a few more things that are easily visible.

-Mc
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
Why couldn't we just use the registry key from the Tilt with the HTC firmware. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me - it was the same change needed for the TyTN ROMs vs 8525.

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/04/hands-on-with-the-atandt-tilt/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] McHale:
SHOULDN'T be a big deal. I just remember when we first started cooking Wizard ROMS or flashing s620 ROMS how the keyboard layouts were wrong and it took a little while to figure them all out.

That's the ONLY issue I see at the moment... Will be interesting to see what it does when you try to enable a video call with no front camera.

-Mc
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] paulesport:
So I guess my conclusion is....I'm stuck with the Att Rom for now.... BLECH! I hate these demo crapware Att always installs. I can't wait to try some delicious new Cooked Roms. I really just want the TomTom and the demostuff deleted. I do have iGuidance GPS software but for mobile 5.0....i'll give it a try
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] McHale:
Trust me, it won't be long. There should be a way to put the HTC ROM on VERY soon... I wouldn't customize the AT&T one too much. :) You won't have to be stuck with it very long.

i got my tilt last night and i woudl like to have the TyTn 2 rom on it as well. i cant wait for people to start putting out all the cool stuff.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jglev:
Rumor has it that at&t took out the Internet Sharing application. Is this true? Did they totally remove it from the ROM or did they just not put a shortcut to it in the Programs menu (like they did with the Blackjack WM5 ROM)? If it's gone, does anyone have it extracted as a cab file to install?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rkorzuch:
It's there they just deleted the shorcut.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] joeonsunset:
yup, I just got my Tilt and I can't wait to dump this AT&T rom. It's loaded with demoware and various annoyances. Plus (coming from an 8125 with a cooked rom), I forgot how truly awful and ugly the at&t dialer was! Ugh. And no luck getting Duronmarcel's dialer to work on it so far...

Internet Sharing

I was going to buy a tilt today but I hear they do not have the Internet sharing any more. How can i fix this. I need the sharing to hook my Vista UMPC to the internet. I saw someone said it is still there but no shortcut. How would I find the program to create the shortcut. I have an 8525 and I looked in it for the main program but cant seem to locate it. BTW my 8525 has WM6 Black 2.5.

Thanks for any help!!! I have one being held for me and would love to go pick it up but need this feature.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
It's in the windows directory. I think it was a hidden file. When I get time I'll make a cab file to restore the icon.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mickeyace:
Thanks

Hey thats great if you can do that for me I am off to get a Tilt. Thanks for the help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] saq:
Anyone with a Tilt still on AT&T ROM want to dive into the registry and get the keyboard layout?

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty

Layout = ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] saq:
Actually that key isn't there anymore.

It might be under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\

HTC ROM has Active=00000409

There is also a set of keys under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\ with two keys underneath that.

00000409 (like referenced in the above value)

e0010409

The contents of 00000409 is

Layout File = KbdNopAll.dll

Layout Text = US

PS2_AT = KbdNopAll.dll

The contents of e0010409 is

Ime File = compime.dll

Keyboard Layout = 00000409

No GPS with RUU_Kaiser_HTC rom on AT&T Tilt?

I'm no expert, just started messing around with this thing today, however when I put RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe on my Tilt, Google Maps would say the GPS was not responding. After flashing it to RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_.exe, it now works fine. Can anyone else comment on their experience with this? I'd really like to have the Kaiser ROM, but not if it means no GPS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] :
Can't the demo ware just be un-installed? I may not have understood this right, but who cares if it's in ram, can't it just be removed? And if it's in rom, then so what, id it's no taking up ram.

Am I making any sense?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sirsycho:
I had a similar issue with Google Maps timing out on me before it could get a fix. I actually had this problem with both ATT and HTC ROMs. Pretty easy fix really.

Just load the Visual GPS program from here:

http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/

After you install you'll need to configure the program to point to COM4 (under the "Connect" menu). After it finds some satellites fire up Google Maps and track your location and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps.

PTT Button Maping

Is there a way to change the PTT button to another button. I had acab for that with my 8525. I tried it on the Tilt and no luck.. Anyone think they can tell me how to change that. I use to use it for Voice command and that worked great. Thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] robroth:
The registry settings in the ATT 8925 ROM are identical to the above.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] robroth:
Not yet, but it probably won't be long I suspect. I think hundreds of us use the PTT button on the 8525 for MSVC and we all want to do the same with the 8925.

Internet Sharing program!

Yes, I have been looking into how to use the Tilt as a "broadband" modem (NOT as a dial-up modem!) for the past couple of days! I was not aware of the "Internet Sharing" program until a few hours. It sucks how AT&T HID HID HID HID HID HID HID this great feature (and God knows how many more!) I had to dig deep (on the internet) for a solution to this problem. I went to the HTC site and noticed they have instructions on "Internet Sharing" and that is how I got to know about the "3gnetopt.exe" program as well as the "Internet Sharing" program.

Well, thanks to this forum, I got to know that the SHORTCUT and NOT the program was deleted from the phone! The program itself is under the Windows directory... go into the Windows directory and look for the "intenet Sharing" file. Thanks for the hint dude (whoever mentioned that the program was still there!

If anyone else has any other ideas pertaining to "hidden" features of the Tilt, please post!!!

Thanks.

CAn someone who got the internet sharing working on the Tilt help me out? I installed the ICS cab and am able to get into it, but when I select Bluetooth PAN and Medianet connection, click connect, I get "cannot connect for unknown reason". Any ideas why I cant connect?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
I believe you'll need to use AT&T ISP for tethering to work. Otherwise, you can try disabling the proxy in Medianet.

I have a Laptop Connect data plan that allows tethering and I use AT&T ISP.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lansa:
I dont see that it uses a proxy, but I could be wrong. I thought the ICS could just piggyback on my medianet connection, apparently not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
If you can access http://home then your connection is using a proxy. By default Medianet uses a proxy to access all the AT&T sites.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rsolomon:
I can't speak to the Tilt, but ICS on 8525 is known to work with MediaNet.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lansa:

Internet Sharing on the Tilt

When I click connect for Internet Sharing I get the message "connecting to GPRS, 3G" and it goes on and off several times until it says "remote party has ended the connection" What could I be doing wrong? Also is there any difference from running the cab file or just going to windows internet sharing and putting it in the programs folder?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jychan28:
Just keep thing in balance. I have a Tilt using AT&T ROM. I have tried over 4 or 5 variants of cook ROM's such as TYTN2, HTC, Hybrid...... and finally backed to AT&T based ROM.

There are ROM's in this forum based on AT&T most updated ROM without all the bloatware. I found GPRS, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G, Wifi, audio and all other functions work without big headaches or keep looking patches to fix left and right.

Trust me, you can find an AT&T based cook ROM in this forum and be happy with. Or, like me, spent three weeks flashed everything in site (sight) before coming home and said, "Damn, AT&T must tweaked something in their machine and screw everyone (casual users) who trys to monkey around with it."

first of all, let me say congrats on bumping such an old thread! it takes a true n00b with only one post to do that.

also let me add something constructive by saying that atw is right. i have the "pda personal" plan from at&t for my tilt and i can use internet sharing without a problem. if you are going to use internet sharing, i would not recommend using a medianet plan. tethering uses way too much data and if you use the "My ISP" (isp.cingular) connection they can drop your plan and switch you to pay per use because an unlimited medianet plan does not cover "My ISP"
