[Android Apps and Games] morapeter:
We are back from holiday :)

First of all: if you write us with a bug here or in email, and I haven't answered, then please forgive me and send me an other email. We have a limited number of phones to test, so every feedback is helpful.

Currently we are working on a new authentication system. In the next release there is no admin user, new users can be created in the browser (an approval has to be done on the phone, and this function can be disabled).

We are also working on SSL (using https instead of http). It works great using a direct access, but we have some problems tunelling SSL though our server (the problem is simple: SSL's url is encrypted, so it's hard to find out which phone to forward the packet, there might be a workaround with secondary domains - that's in the unencrypted part, long story, it's in progress).

The third new function is a remote client for Android. It's far from being perfect, but we have a working version. That's really fun to see the same screen on two phones and control it from both of them.

The next release comes with a localisation feature. There will be two txt files which contains all the texts. It's in progress, but it already knows some Hungarian :) Please write me if you want to help us by translating Webkey to your native language.

We don't know much about design (plain-text site is great for me too). We are working on new functions all the time, but I'm sure sometime we will stop and rewrite the pages. I'm sorry about the slowness of the redrawing. You might be far from our server (the speed of light is not fast enough, or the Earth is big). We should rent several servers around the world...

About the call history: there was a plan several months ago about a scripting language, which would solve these kind of requests. I'm a python fan, but for example Lua should work fine (small, secure), but I'm not sure many people would use it, so we have developed other functions. You may export the call list to an Excel file, and summarize your calls' cost there.

I don't promise it to the next release, but I wrote it to our todo list.

There are two ways to put it to a ROM. First: copy the content of /data/data/com.webkey/files to somewhere else (the code might need some modification, I'll check if you are interested). If you copy it to a place which is not deleted during the wipe (for example /system/bin, or something else), then you are done. You might also want to start Webkey from an init script. But the Java part contains the code for the GPS, chat...

Second method: there are several apk-s which remains after a wipe, for example the alarm clock. I know nothing about that.

We tried to enable GPS remotely, but with no success. I'm sure it can be done (everything can be done with root privileges), but no success so far.

I'm sure it's better to use gmail for gtalk, but I'll check the send button. Maybe there is a keycode for that. The keyboard of our program should be more programmable, that's true. However you should inject è, à, é, ç, but you have to add these keys using the button "Config keys". That's not an ugly solution, I'll rewrite it when I have time.

The bug with the sliding. I know that. It's my task to fix that.

I hope the bug with the short-long press difference comes from latency. I'll try to fix. The delay comes from Android.

Thanks for writing (and bigger thanks for the donation). I found a javascript bug, it's fixed, the next release will list all the calls.

Happy New Year!
