Got my pair of Glass, time to give back to the community

[ytwytw]

Hi,

I finally got very own pair of Google Glass, HAPPY

and I've done a little hack so far...

What works?

Install a launcher on Glass (i used holo launcher)
playback youtube.apk videos

What doesnt work?

Google Play services (cannot install, i guess some mod is required?)
Google Play Store (you can open the store, but when you try to download something, FC comes)

Semi-work?

Bluetooth mouse, but keyboard doesnt work(cannot type any letter or number), but the hotkey on the keyboard works (no idea why, but i ordered the keyboard&mouse bundled bluetooth device to get basic thing working) [Razer Orochi + Apple Bluetooth Keyboard]



If anyone want to ask something or wanna me try something fun on the Glass, please ask!

I would love to see the great potential of this little android devices

Dump.. EVERYTHING.

I need a complete dump of every part of Glass so I can work on creating a decent ROM for phones.

You could try shoveling through the files for Google Play and see if it requires any frameworks and if so, then copy those from a nexus device.

Like you suspect, it could be your keyboard. They demo'd something similiar to this keyboard at the Hacking Glass talk at I/O

i would love to try but it cant be done without root access and I don't want to root my Glass without factory image from Google

Just to organize everything:

• glass_1-img-201305051837.zip
  • boot.img
  • recovery.img
  • system.img
• c17357b01ac6.signed-glass_1-665738-from-625737.c17357b0.zip
  • fpga.img
  • MLO
  • u-boot.bin

The first link is the factory image for XRR35 (XE5) from google, the 2nd link is the OTA from XRR02 -> XRR35 (ie XE4 -> XE5)

Could you make a list of the partitions on the gGlass to see if we're actually missing any bootloader pieces?

I would assume that fpga.img/MLO/u-boot.bin would make up all the leftover pieces, but we could certianly use a confirmation.

/dev/block/platform/<omap something>.1(?)/by-name

would be a good place to start, you may need to be rooted but goog's posted enough files to revert that when needed.

I was going to be ballsy and try flashing the image onto a Gnex, I'm actually curious if anyone will attempt to make a Glass ROM for other devices.

i believe just simply install those apk + pie control (to emulate hardware key) is great enough to get GLASS experience on current android devices

This actually has huge potential because I think these Glass apps can be a viable replacement of car mode in our phone. Tasker+Glass app=awesomeness over 9000

spent 3 days on rooting glass

My computer cannot find Glass when its in Fastboot mode, and i tried another machine, fastboot devices works, but after i excute fastboot oem unlock, Glass hangs... damn... and the genetic 4.0.3 root not working either...

Here is the problem, my Windows Machine cannot even see Glass if I do "adb devices", when I reboot the Glass into fastboot mode, connecting to the windows machine, it simply says the USB device has problem, please unplug and plug in again

On my mac machine, I tried to run your bat manually, it doesn't work, which I am not surprised (the exploit only works on XE4, not XE5, and its Android 4.0.3 only, 4.0.4 wont work)

and when I try to unlock bootloader on my Mac, I have the following error

$ fastboot oem unlock
< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader) Warning: Unlocking your device will void your warranty
(bootloader) and erase your personal data from the device.
(bootloader) Run "fastboot oem unlock" again to confirm.
(bootloader) Device still locked.
OKAY [ 0.001s]

$ fastboot oem unlock

$ fastboot oem unlock
...
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002ed

$

I also tried a ubuntu machine, adb devices can see Glass, but after i reboot into bootloader, fastboot devices wont see Glass anymore

I am MAD, just saying, I have a N4 and HTC One, both works great on Windows, Mac and Ubuntu Machine, no issue at all, so... IDK if google did some trick somewhere IDK

Follow the tutorial I linked for the adb drivers in my thread on rooting the glass

The problem is... there is no yellow warning sign in device manager, only Glass 1 Camera device listed in device manager :[

tried to force update that driver, but win8 doesnt allow me to do so (driver signature already turn off as I am using other toolbox)

could you do inside the by-name folder?

just flashed insecured boot, and here is your need
