[PATCH REQUEST] BOUNTY Bypass PIN for TouchPad

robotech1985 · 04:32 PM

For those of us with TouchPad on exchange email where the company enforces a pin , this patch is a must have. Works fine on pre 2..... But nothing yet for the TouchPad

my offer is 10...anyone else willing to chip in for this?

running list
me 10
Cowpen 10
robocad 10
drj 5
davidra 10

total: 45 so far,thanks for the offers

not to be a stickler....but isn't security normally there for a reason? I just wish I could get exchange on my touchpad period!

it is, but its very annoying as well, I have it on my pre and it works great... just not on touchpad

I'm in for +10. The exchange pin drives me nuts!

I'll add another 10 to that!
I installed that patch on my Pre2 and I'm really glad I did.
It's just an annoyance on my TP.

I'm taking a look at the code now. Doesn't seem too hard. Need to fire up the emulator.

any new news

I know the corporate security wonks are insisting on webOS compliance with enforced policies, but a simple pin to "protect" Exchange data really is absurd. Is there anyone who doesn't use something easy to type like 0000? Seriously?

robotech1985 · 08/25/2011, 02:57 PM

yea I know its crazy, but its there for morons who leave there device laying around with sensitive information in it.

Abyssul · 08/26/2011, 10:42 AM

Giving this another shot today. My previous attempts weren't successful. Still on my to-do list though.

kewl thanks for the update

drjrdemelo · 08/27/2011, 02:28 PM

I would throw in at least $5 for this; i'd really appreciate the patch too. Thanks everyone

davidra · 08/27/2011, 02:52 PM

I'm in for $10.....

Abyssul · 08/27/2011, 11:03 PM

I can't get this patch working. I've tried commenting out all kinds of PIN and locking functions in the files, but none of them work. I really hope that this isn't built into the LunaSysMgr binary because I am willing to bet it is, especially since HP upped the security on WebOS.

Since the bounty is near $50 bucks now, hopefully some other coders are more willing to give this a shot.

robotech1985 · 08/28/2011, 06:35 AM

thanks for trying Abyssul.... anyone else willing ti take a shot?? thanks again

hopefully it can be done, otherwise it would kind of suck

Abyssul · 08/28/2011, 04:04 PM

Just finished talking to fellow WebOS-Internals member dtzWill and he confirmed that the pin mechanism is hardcoded into LunaSysMgr like I thought. This patch isn't going to happen.

It's not that it isn't allowed. The LunaSysMgr service is binary. What this means is that the majority of it's composition is composed of many,many,many,many 0's and 1's that tell the computer what to do. It's the simplest form of language that the OS understands. As humans, we just cannot read and modify that type of language without breaking the entire code.

Everyone knows that computers speak in 0's and 1's right?
