LiveView reverse-engineering effort

[renzenicolai]

First I want to rewrite the database code, once that is finished I will further implement the plugin api.

ok!

btw can you add in the battery menu the battery status of the LiveView and the option to clear the notification by long press of action key when you have the media in the menu?!

I've just put android 4.2.1 on my galaxy SI phone. It seems that OLV works fine.

Thank you all.

I just tried the latest CM 10.1 nightly, still the same problem as described earlier here in the thread. OLV tries to connect and fails after a few seconds.

I was having similar issues on CFX 4.2.1, reflashing the liveview firmware via the sony updater restored functionality, maybe you can give it a shot. Select the liveview from the device list and follow the instructions.. after it searches for updates and finds nothing newer, it asks you if you want to flash the same/latest version.. do so and let us know..

Sony update service can be downloaded here: http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

Sounds a little strange, since the native live view app works fine, but I will try it tomorrow.

Great effort!

Hi guys,
It is only to let you know that you have one more fun althought i dont have any skill in programming.
I'll follow this thread.
I think we much more to get from our liveview watches. Hope you keep the good work.

I'd love to get a plug in that shows standard emails on liveview. Do you know some?

Thank you very much for your effort and release the version with plugin support soon, please!

Cheers,

Tom Kranz:
Could you please avoid using the menu key (since its not available on the newest phones)?
I like the new whitelist function! (Also, the new gui indeed looks better!)

Could you please tell me what is wrong with using an options menu?

OLV support Russian and Polish language? I can not get to work...

Sorry: I caused a little misunderstanding.
There is nothing wrong with using the menu key, but on newer versions of Android the menu key should be avoided. To show the menu items the action bar should be used. On my phone (Android 4.1, cyanogenmod 10) the actionbar shows, but some of the menu items are hidden away under the menu key. Normally (in other apps) these items are shown using the overflow indicator in the actionbar.

It's no big deal so just leave it like it is .

Only ASCII characters are currently working. If someone can tell me the right encoding to get unicode working please post it here.

Note: I will ignore future posts about missing language support.

As far as language support is not a big deal but the charset is a big issue here. Every one who is using different char set will get "?" marks in place of special characters and it looks terrible.

I suggested UTF8 but that caused some trouble I guess. Id love this app if someone find a way to show letters correct.

Oh, ok. You don't see an overflow button because Android usually hides it if there is a hardware menu key present.
For users of Android <4.0 there is a toast message that appears if the filter editor activity is started and there is no item in the filter, which tells the user to hit the menu key, because I thought it would be odd for people to open the filter settings and see an entirely blank activity that doesn't give a clue on what to do.
If there are Honeycomb users, I would love to see a screenshot of the revamped filter settings because I was unable to test the activity on a HC emulator and therefore am not sure what exactly is shown to the user (and so I decided to show that toast on Honeycomb, too).
Users of Ice Cream Sandwich and above should definitely see at least the "Add" button and either the "Help" or the overflow button (depending on whether there is an actual menu key present or not) and because I thought that people would hit the question mark or the three dots if they were not to know what to do next, I decided to not show the toast on that versions. But if you don't like that the options menu is "hidden away under the menu key", then I should maybe show that toast on Android >=4.0 if there is a hardware menu key on the phone (and thus no overflow button on the screen).
By the way: If you want to see overflow buttons despite the fact that your phone has a menu key, you might want to try the "Show action overflow" setting (in fact, that's how I made the three dots appear on my Desire Z for the first screenshot).

dfu-util detach problem

Hi,

first of all: thank you all for this effort,
you really got me into trying to hack the firmware for this tiny gadget

I compiled and installed libusb (from dot org) and dfu-util (from dot gnumonks dot org) on Mac OSX "Snow Leopard" from sources
and then compiled your test firmware but run into some problems downloading it to device.

Running

flash:
sudo dfu-util -d 0fce:f0fa -c 1 -i 0 -a 0 -s 0x08003000 -v -D build/olvfwp.bin

gives me some warnings:

Device returned transfer size 1024
No valid DFU suffix signature
Warning: File has no DFU suffix

and then

Downloading to address = 0x08003000, size = 42708
   Poll timeout 100 ms
 Download from image offset 00000000 to memory 08003000-080033ff, size 1024

 Download from image offset 00000400 to memory 08003400-080037ff, size 1024
   Poll timeout 104 ms
   Poll timeout 100 ms

  .... some more of those timeouts on subsequent addresses ... and finally 

File downloaded successfully

But the real problem comes now:

$sudo dfu-util --detach
dfu-util 0.7

No matter which version of libusb and dfu-util i use (event under linux, run inside
virtual machine or booted from live disk), I am unable to get out of DFU mode
by other means then running Sony firmware updater under Windows inside virtual machine,
and reflushing original firmware ...

Any ideas?
Which versions (and origins) of libusb & dfu-utils are you using?

Thanks in advance,

Press the power button of the LiveView until it turns off. When I reflashed it it also didn't restart, but I didn't get any warnings either.
(Using Ubuntu 12.10 and the dfu-utils that are in the Ubuntu repositories)

is there a way to use the live view as a game-pad or as a pc mouse (WiFi Mouse)?

Oh Please! Let devs work on really useful stuff! If they got bored then u can ask them to make liveview a soviet nuclear missile launching red button.

By the way using Bluetooth liveview connected to phone then phone by WiFi and use it all as WiFi mouse u could make a move on liveview then go to kitchen, make some tea get back and yet wait for cursor to move . That's really needed future!

By the way sorry for spamming this outstanding thread.
