So, I just got my Recon Jet (the self-declared "most powerful wearable computer" running Android 4.1, without Google services), and started doing some basic poking around. What would people like to know?
So far my basic impression is that I feel like I'm using a flagship smartphone running feature-phone software. All the specs are awesome, but the device does almost nothing out of the box, and there are no apps yet. The entire time I'm wearing it, it's like the device is screaming SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A CUSTOM ROM WITH GOOGLE GLASSWARE SUPPORT.
Anywho, on to the nerdy stuff.
I didn't have the guts to try a fastboot oem unlock, so I didn't get very far in fastboot:
In ADB, without root, also didn't find too much interesting, but then again wasn't looking for anything in particular.
Note that Recon devices do not use a VendorID recognized by standard adb and fastboot, so you will have to take extra steps to use these tools.
Specifically, to use ADB, you will need to modify (or create) an adb_usb.ini file containing 0x2523, and fastboot will have to use the -i option.
Users on the sparsely-used Recon forums (addressing almost exclusively Recon's previous generation of products) report being able to sideload APKs, but I can't think of any apps I would like on my face that don't rely on Google Play Services. Any suggestions?
Mods, please feel free to move this to the appropriate forum for Recon Jet, as soon as one exists. Until then, this seemed to me like the best place.
