Paid on delivery
I have developed my own android application (for Android 4.0 and up). Since the application needs to run 24h on an android device, I need to improve the system stability and performances. The typical user of the device is not supposed to use the system freely. I want to produce a customised firmware so to have total control on the system. Please, bid only if you are able to deliver all of the following 10 requirements: === 1. Adding system applications The final system should be "minimal", meaning that the only system applications should be: (i) Flash Player; (ii) my own main application; (iii) a secondary application needed by the main own. 2. Removing System applications Remove all of the non vital components, among which: (i) phone-related modules; (ii) bluetooth modules 3. Root privileges The firmware should have root privileges 4. Disk management The firmware should allow to use an external SD card 5. Bar management The navigation bar and the status bar should disappear when the application runs full screen 6. Automatic application-update The firmware should allow the device to automatic update of my own application. The application will be hosted on Google play but on a dedicated server I own 7. Orientation management I want that the user can choose if (s)he wants to use Portrait or Landscape orientation 8. Screen on/off The minipc is always connected with a screen. We want to switch this screen on and off, without using any physical switch. Therefore the firmware should allow to switch the screen on and off. 9. Proxy management The firmware should allow a basic management of proxy. 10. Validation test When using the application on different devices, mounting different firmwares, I have detected that the following items did not work properly: (i). View anchoring inside the custom layouts of my application (ii). z-roder (for views inside layout) (iii). Update of layouts and views at runtime The firmware should allow the application to run without any of these issues. === Additional details (including the application apk, and the device details) will be provided to the selected freelancer. Continuous interactions during the job is expected. I expect two elements to be delivered at the end of the job: 1. The full-final image (OS+kernel) for my specific device; 2. The final customised OS. Thank you.

Hello, I can help you with your project. I also would like to know how did you setup your hardware? I have worked with android where it was required to work for 24 hours and beyond and in extreme hard conditions ( A product based on nfc payments was installed on buses with extreme vibration and heat and another product where it had to play videos and update the ticket number for queue management system). In all the condition there was one thing similar, everything worked perfectly and then one day it wont boot up, you have to restart the unit and it works fine from then onward with occasional hangups on startup. This happened with the original firmware as well as with the modified one and it can happen anywhere even my friend's nexus 7 does it sometime. Long story short if you really want a reliable solution you should have a watchdog timer in the hardware to give it a reset if it wont boot-up. The rest of the list is pretty self explanatory and can be done easily. Can you please elaborate on point 9. Android has a proxy management system. what do you mean by "allow a basic management of proxy". Also I cant provide a kernel for your hardware you have to provide one for me to work on. Thats it let me know if you have anymore questions Regards

Hi. I believe I can do this for you. But there is something I need to know because, honestly, I didn't get where the firmware is to run on: tablet or some sort of google TV? By the way, thanks for invitation. Regards, Alex. PS: I tried to send you a private message, seems like this the place for it. So, I am asking for 60 days due to some task I have and because this job is not so linear as many bidders think: 10/20 days seems too short (for me). And I'd like to discuss further details, feel free to contact me (skyþ€: mucodes)

I have experience with similar projects in fact i've sucessfully produced a customized Android firmware supporting the new streaming protocol MPEG-DASH(By using a custom Android image that i 've created by integrating the Libdash Library in the Android Architecture and developping the a c++ app using that Libray and the necessary jni ) and i've successfully flashed the TI AM335x EV with it. (I've also participated in integrating a DVB-t kit driver into the kernel of an Android 4.03) So finnally, i can say that i am able to help you in order to succeed in your project.
