Recap of thread so far

I'm looking to use my Liveview w/o an Android phone or PC, possibly simply as an always-on analog clock or sth but I have some quick questions about the firmware part of this effort:

I was able to find the instructions how to compile and deploy the custom firmware. However the git repository (firmware) at google code seems to be empty - where is the code for download if it's available for download at all?

What does the current firmware do? Is it only a very basic port of chibios that can blink the hardware LEDs or is it already in state where it could run (or already has) somekind of GFX clock which is demoed in the couple of videos linked in the thread?

im sorry but im new to the liveview...i know that this thread is for redoing the bluetooth protocol, but how exactly do i do that? i click the link in the op but im not really sure what the documents are or how they are used...can someone explain how i can get this to work? also, is the OLV app on the play store good for the liveview? sorry for not knowing anything, whatever you can do to explain would be appreciated. thanks

@allua:
The firmware download should be in this thread. It is not yet able to show a fully working clock.

@andrewt328:

The olv app on Google Play is the result of the work people did in this thread. Oir project can also be found on googlecode: openliveview.googlecode.com . On Google code you can download the latest source and the latest working apk file (The version on google code has nice new icons )

If you are new to this project it may handy to know that the openliveview app replaces both the liveware manager and the liveview software. Please uninstall these two applications to make sure no conflicts will prohibit the correct working of olv.

Openliveview does not yet support plugins (thats #1 on the to do list) but it does catch all notifications broadcasted by android
. This means that you can see all your phones notifications on your Liveview. Olv also has an option that shows the notification on the liveview the moment it arrives.

If you have more questions feel free to ask!

So will the olv app allow for reading of SMS messages? What about receiving a Gmail notification or even be able to read the email? Thanks again!

that is so called "future music"

in case you know java and know how to develop android apps, you might want to check it out and help making this real.

 

[renzenicolai]

Reading sms messages is already implemented

 

[andrewt328]

I'm using the olv app and when I receive text messages my live view does not vibrate even though it is set to vibrate when receiving notifications. I am also not getting other notifications such as Gmail

In accessibility settings is olv set to on? Sometimes that happens to me

Is anyone trying to find out about LV peripherals connection and controlling?
Buttons would be the minimum for basic user interactions.

I had a glance on touch controller docs (CY8C20236A). This chip is versatile configurable and programmable,
but in case of our device it should generate simple "button tap" events, that we could somehow detect on some pins …
uneducated guess )

all basic GPIO is found (see docs/gpio.txt in my test code source). button and touch button drived by CY8C20236A, CY8C20236A generate interrupt (see docs/gpio.txt) on change buttons/touch buttons state and you can read status register with current button data (function i2c_read in test code source) but i not understand how say to CY8C20236A that the interrupt has been processed and can generade the next interrupt

Having a little trouble with 4.2.1 , I've had 4.2.1 before but just updated my ROM and after I pair my liveview and I tap the top right button on the watch to connect to the phone ,I get "message access request" Liveview would like to access your messages" I click OK but olv closes and it never connects and I did turn on olv in accessibility .
Anyone else run into this problem?
Oh and I'm running the latest apk 1.0.2.2

In case you are running CFX SR7, it is a known bug due to some changes in BT MAPS, introduced from (and possibly also affecting) the latest CM. It will be reverted in the next CFX nightly, no idea about cm..

 

[andrewt328]

is there any way to make the liveview automatically reconnect after losing connection, rather than having to actually press pair on my phone...

EDIT:
Anyone try these apps? i think they only work on the official app, but does anyone know which one works better? thanks

Thanks exception13, i will dig into interrupt handling docs (STM32F103xx Reference manual RM0008, is it?).

intrerrupt handlers code already writen see test code source.

I updated my phone to android 4.2.1 and I can't get OLV working. The problem seems to be in the new bluetooth stack of android 4.2
If anyone can get things working on Android 4.2, please share your fix with us .

private static final UUID SERIAL = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");
private final BluetoothAdapter btAdapter;
private BluetoothServerSocket serverSocket;
private BluetoothSocket clientSocket;
btAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
serverSocket = btAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("LiveView", SERIAL);
clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
serverSocket.close();
serverSocket = null;
//Liveview is now connected

I think something goes wrong in the "serverSocket = btAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("LiveView", SERIAL);" line.


@"official" OLV team members:
Please post your donation link in this topic or send me an e-mail. If you do I can add your link to the app. (I don't think its fair that I am the only one getting the donations for this project). (about $7 per month, but it could become more in the future... If you donated: Thank you!)

@people who helped programming and want to be part of the "team":
Sorry, I should have added you already: just mail me and I will add you.

@firmware developers:
Do you guys want to upload your source code to the Google Code repo (GIT)?

I happily donate my code without a donation link. In case anyone appreciate my contributions please send a donation to renzenicolai. You are the man, man!

I have android 4.2.1...I'm not sure if I understand your post but, in my case, the OLV works fine. i don't have any problems.

I'm not good at all at programing but if you need my help I will help with pleasure.

My phone is Galaxy S (i9000) with android 4.2.1 AOSP (of course, unofficial). I'm here for you .
