We would like to commercialise an android security service by combining two existing open-source projects.

Do not bid if you have limited experience or if you are not comfortable modifying existing code.

This is a two-phase project. In phase 1 (budget $500 per participant), we hire 5 freelancers to develop a mobile app.

In phase 2 (budget $15000), selected freelancers from phase 1 are invited to bid for the server-side solution (the security server) - only one freelancer will be selected for phase 2 and you need to have been selected for phase 1 to be considered for phase 2.

Why are we paying 5 people in phase 1? we've deliberately selected open-source projects for phase 1 to keep costs down and test your skills, we don't want people coding from scratch. phase 1 is an opportunity to show us how good you are for phase 2.

Phase 1 project is open-source, it will not make us any money, but we do need it for phase 2, and most importantly we need to find the best freelancer for phase 2.

What is needed for phase 1?

we have identified two open-source projects (prey & funf). their source codes are imported into our bitbucket repo ([login to view URL]).

we want to modify the prey android mobile app functionality to build a new app called prey_plus. Prey needs to be changed as follows to become prey_plus.

1. active periodic data upload at all times (instead of passive periodic data upload).

2. the upload data will be the 'location' & 'running applications' on the device.

3. the frequency of upload will be every 15 minutes

4. the format and location of upload is sqlite db format and dropbox folder (similar to what funf does).

5. data needs to be encrypted (as in funf).

6. instead of checking the server to see if device is reported stolen, the app should check server to see if it should lock the device or not (no response from server means lock!)

7. the unlock password should not be on the device; the password should be checked against server and only if acknowledged by the server the device can be unlocked (no response means password is incorrect!)

8. the app should be able to change screen lock; to enforce a lock & password check everytime screen is locked

9. device can also be unlocked if a text (e.g. 'UNLOCK') is SMS-ed to the device from a given phone number

10. some branding/decription/name changes will also be required to create prey_plus

Many of the above features (e.g. locking / unlocking) already exist in prey but they do not work in the way we have described above; so in phase 1, we expect mostly modifications / code borrowing from funf (rather than coding/implementation).

In phase 2, we build a comprehensive server-side solution to support users (control panels, interfaces, website etc etc.). But as mentioned, we are considering proposals only for phase 1 at this stage; please do not quote time/cost for entire project ; only quote for phase 1 (any quote > $1000 for phase 1 will be automatically rejected). Please also start your comment by 'prey_plus' to help us filter genuine proposals from the rest. We expect freelancers to familiarise themselves with the stated open source projects before commencing work. We reserve the right to select freelancers from alternate sources if no suitable proposal is found.
