PfSense androidGUI app (a work in progress)
-
I am sure you would get help on your project if you could bring this on github so that everyone can easy submit any patches and so on.
I see this on another project like OCS Inventory-NG - they are on launchpad and this is very bad to submit some code. So just a suggestion how to spped up yur project and get some nice input from others :)
-
Yes I will probably go with github. But not quite yet for the following reasons.
-
I have to tidy up the code first
-
I have limited experience with github (cloning other people branches and compiling). I have never used it for development - Therefore it will be a learning curve. I don't want it to slow me down right now. So will probably wait until I lose momentum
Plan to upload the app for testing tonight/next few days (it will still be very much in an alpha state).

I would say you should focus on the future. The future would be a responsive GUI for Pfsense. If the GUI was responsive it would be cross browser compatible on all of today's known mobile devices. If you need some help getting things going on that front, I would be glad to give you a hand.
I also believe you would get far more interest on github for a new responsive GUI design for Pfsense than a android app as your setting up. Surely if interest took hold the developers of Pfsense I would think would put there 2 cents in to ensure at some point the two could merge.
As for development for android all that would be needed would be wolan …. after that the responsive GUI would take over. If you setup the app to access various services for example, every time Pfsense has a update there's a chance something will break. I don't know what the odds are, but it could turn out to be a major headache. The same can be said for a responsive GUI github project also but if its going in the right direction like I said the Pfsense developers should give the project a helping hand.
Hell, if you don't do the github for a responsive GUI I just might do it.

I hear what your saying but I am not a web developer and wouldn't know where to begin. If you make a start on this I can try and help you out!

I would like to see and Windows Phone version since I'm a windows guy. And you might as well make a Iphone version too. I would like to see you can do everything in the mobile version just as if I was on my laptop. I would even pay $5 if I knew that $2 was going to the Pfsense folks.

Uploaded a test version of the app for people to have a play with.
Please read the first post of this thread for instructions on how to install & the download link

Very good.
how i can donate ?. I use paypal. -
Loaded it on my Nexus 7. Seems to work fine.
It would be nice if the settings page showed the existing setting for each section without having to touch each one. More like the other android settings dialogues.Steve

Uploaded the project to github: https://github.com/CharlieMarshall/pfSense-androidGUI
All contributions are welcome
Edit: Upgraded my test box to pfSense 2.0.3 last night and everything seems to have survived the upgrade.
-
Ah, I should have mentioned my test box is 2.1. Worked fine. :)

Anyone know who I need to speak to about using the pfSense logo within the app?
If I can't use it for copyright reasons does anyone fancy making something?
On another note progress is moving along nicely (well it feel like it is but looking at the list of commits there's not a huge amount of new features)
-
Not had time to look at this project recently, been playing with the pfsense webconfiguration instead.
Anyway here is an updated apk > https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12367642/Pfsense.apk (you will have to uninstall the previous verion if you have it)
