LiveView reverse-engineering effort

[exception13]

after the new year I plan to do bluetooth and start thinking about a new protocol. I think should do the following:

1: the autonomy of the clock and alarm;
2: native applications?
3: offline storage for data;
4: protocol for online interaction with the device (like Xserver / drawterm / Rio from Plan9);

may be look at the protocol and function from MetaWatch? it would be nice to get them functional on our liveview.

Have now moved the filtering function to LiveViewService.

If someone with a newer version of Android (JB or later) want to test this, it would be helpful. It works for me on 2.3.3 but it seems like it is handled differently on newer versions.

Will not be able to check in the changes before Christmas since I work in two parallel projects. My primary project is the one with bus functionality, and now also a second plug-in idea: "Next on TV". In case anyone wants to try it out, I attach my apk file. Source code for the three changed files (for notification filtering) are attached as well. I will check in the changes when I get back home after the holidays... Or before if I can...

Merry Christmas all of you!

Edit: Actually did commit, but have not tested the source code in the "main branch"... Hope it works anyway!

Hy there, I have tested your latest app on my nexus 7 with the latest cm 10.1 witch is jellybean version 4.2.1 and my liveview just doesn't want to stay connected. What it does is, when i press the right button on the watch to connect the notification shows that it connects but the same second it dissapeares. The watch doesnt set time and it cant be used. I also enabled accessibility for the app under settings. Hope to se more improvements for the newer versions of android in the future

This app does not work on 4.2.1 (yet). Once I update my phone to 4.2.1 I will look into the problem.

Thank you sir

Could you please add facebook to the openliveview? Facebook on the official live view app doesn't work. If possible, I'd like video on the view like YouTube and games.

No way... the screen resolution is way too low...

video playback would not be possible with high framerates cause its bluetooth is a bottleneck.

facebook on this device would mostly cause high battery drain because the liveview original was made for notifications and simple plugins.

you ask for magic that could be done but would possibly left unused even by you.
i guess that makes it a low priority request.


@evryone: would you want to use a native analog clock on it or would you prefer a digital clock?
an analog clock would take more memory. i could do it with 17 images (so the device does not need to calc rotation wich would cause higher battery drain)
one image for the clocks background, eight for hours and eight for minutes. also an offset table so i can strip whitespace from theese images

You don't need to calculate rotation, you can store a table. You only need it for 15 positions as reflection to the other 3/4 of the clock would be trivial

it seems my english is way too horrible to be understood by you.
i'm not going to use rotation calculation and never said i will.

its possible with 8 images instead of 15.

Well at least one if us has horrible English. You don't want to calculate rotation in the watch and I said you don't need to anyway.

But you are right about 8 instead of 15. You could use a look up table of 8 and reflect about axis.

I don't mind how you do it I just point out there is more than just 2 choices of trig calculation in the watch or if pre-drawn images

well.. chibios gfx has methods to draw arcs etc. etc. but i dont know how reliable they are in multisampling because i've not yet tried them.

this is how it could look like:

(image was created programmatically using javascript)

do we need some kind of statusbar on the clocks screen?

we could put stuff into the upper edges like connection state, battery and date so i could increase the clocks size.

That looks great!

It would still be nice to have an image app to view whatever or a simple app maker so we can build what we want. And about YouTube, I don't care if it's a low frame rate, I just want it available. Imagine, YouTube in class/mcas/work without getting caught.

that will possibly be on my todo / wish list. not only for images but also for text notes.

or a simple app maker so we can build what we want.

erm what? app maker? like.. lego?
how are we supposed to do such thing? we are developing for fun on this device. not for money.
at least the code is open source so if you want to "make apps" you could simply fork it and implement your dreams into it.

And about YouTube, I don't care if it's a low frame rate, I just want it available. Imagine, YouTube in class/mcas/work without getting caught.

i see no problem in using my laptop for such things. (in school / at work)

so you want youtube video's without any sound, horrible framerates and lower color count?
if you want it, make it
i will not lay my hands on a video implementation and i do not think anyone else related into future developement will want to.

Hi all,

i am very intrested in your wok and followed this thread a long time, till my exam started. now after months its finished and i remered my old liveview. so i started to read the thread, about 20 pages...

but i wasnt able to get the status of the project and how far u are.

it would be nice if someone could give a short overview or edit the first thread (if its possible). :good:

 

[renzenicolai]

see the Google Code site openliveview.googlecode.com for current status (click on the "Source" tab, it will show you all the changelogs).
We also have a website: www.openliveview.com, but its not finished yet.

Other things:
If someone wants to make a nice webdesign for our website feel free to post it :fingers-crossed:, if you want to write some content for the website, feel free to do so, I will put it on the site and if someone wants to make custom image sets for openliveview I will build them into the app.

I'm currently working on a way to show text notes on the liveview.

 

[renzenicolai]

Here is a new version of OLV which adds notes and separate feed icons (for every notification source)

I think that OpenLiveView has a memory leak in the notification database code. I will try to fix it as soon as possible (it has been there for quite a while now). Reason I believe there is a memory leak is that the memory used by OLV increases every time I navigated to a notification ("adb shell" and then entering "top" opens the process list of your android device).

Timeout

Is there any option to change the timeout to like 2 or 3 hours? It's very important. Hope You can help.
Best regards!

PS: Of course I mean all the LiveView, not just apk files. Or could you modify LiveView app to do that?
