LiveView reverse-engineering effort

[luisjoseb]

I have a question, in the download page exist the file 1.0.2.2 and in playstore exist version 1.0.2.0, what is the difference, why is not updated in playstore?

Thanks for your answer

Hi guys,
for me it is not 100% clear who are the guys which are coding right now to get involved for things.
First i wish to remake the graphics in different color and style. Possible you are interested in that.
So yes, please PM me or here.

I like the graphics they are cleaner than the original ones... I don't think they need to be changed instead the launcher and notification icons should be changed

Everybody on his own favorites, and there are a lot of people outside who will change things, so i help out.

A theme chooser will be nice

Morning Guys,

Loved the work you have done so much I actively went out and purchased the LiveView Generation 2 on the basis of this thread!

.... but, I cant get OLV to stay conected at all, even to the point it wont update the clock or anything.

The phone just keeps notifying me that OLV is connecting ..... where as nothing is really happening.

Phone is paired directly with 'Smart Watch' so that is all fine, but even Sony LiveView software wont pick up the watch?!

Anyone out there able to help?

Phone: Stock Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, Andriod 4.0.4

:crying:

Hi,

Yeah after a lot more research around these forums I came to the same conclusion. Its a shame as I think what OLV does is much better than what the Smartwatch will do!

May have to rethink :laugh:

Cheers though!

-- garbage you dun need to read --


i'm ill till next week and will be able to spend some time cleaning up my garbage and share my (srsly tiny) clock firmware update.

since i moved out of my parents house a while ago i have no intarwebz at home. (i still wait for the arrival of my intarwebz hardware from the company i work for... for 12 days already..)
i currently use a wifi hotspot and my 5 gb volume is already almost dead but will be enuf to do what ever i want. (except watching kittens D

in addition i have a new laptop from that same company so i need to get it to compile it here to concentrate on the stuff i have in mind.

>>> i dunno how i could get bluetooth to work. i'm a software guy.

Heya guys, I just found out how to get all the strings out of notification events, so we don't need to rely on the ticker string, which is empty in some notifications (I think WhatsApp's notifications don't have a ticker text, for example). I will need to find the Android-version-specific ids and then I can incorporate this into OLV's notification service.

 

[thaylok]

Great to see that there's still active development on OLV I just got my LiveView a month ago and have only tried OLV, but I love it!

The LiveView paired with OLV is a great $20 smartwatch

 

[Cptnodegard]

I finally gave up on the LiveView for good after trying out OLV constantly for a few hours. Keeps losing connection, meaning it's useless

This has nothing to do with OLV

I know for a fact that some Bluetooth chips/stacks cause this to happen, including the one in my Galaxy S II. I was about to buy a MetaWatch a while back, but was actually warned by someone at the company about connection issues being related to certain phone models, like the SII

Just mentioning so that others don't end up contributing connection issues to OLV

I've just commited my changes to the project and I would love to hear some feedback.
Why does tapping the "Notifications" button in the main menu lead to an insta-kill of OLV, by the way?

I have also noticed that the OLV crashed when clicking the Notification button, and the notifications stopped working for me. Thought it was my own modifications of the code that messed up the database, but since you also get it I guess it is in the main branch as well. It has something to do with a call to db helper which returns NULL (if I remember right from reading the log after my crashes). I completely un-installed and re-installed OLV, and then it works again so I can not currently reproduce the error.

@exception13:

have you found a c library for the STLC2500 yet or do you currently reinvent the wheel? i've figured that (in the past) a library called: "ST7 Software Library" published by st.com was freely avilable and containing the required sources to use this and other controllers.

do you have that lib somewhere? i cannot seem to find it.


btw i found a string within the firmware dump that says this: STLC2500 R5.4 A09 23062010 10:34:48L
wich seems to be a version stamp of the bluetooth driver they used.


besides that:

have you got rtc working yet?

OpenLiveView 1.0.3.0

Attached to this post is a new version of OpenLiveView: version 1.0.3.0
This version probably contains a lot of bugs: if you find one please tell us!

New things

 - Automatic device detect on first start
 - New database code (easier to understand: you open and close the database in every function instead of opening it and hoping it closes by magic)
 - 12 / 24 hour clock mode switch

Known bugs
Database:

 - Timestamp in notifications is wrong
 - Icon of notifications in "all notifications" view is wrong

New launcher icon needed
OpenLiveView still needs a proper launcher icon: please post your creations! (see this link).

I've just commited my changes to the project and I would love to hear some feedback.

YES! Finally a solution for getting the notification contents
Hmm, that insta-kill probably has something to do with me working on the database code ... I hope that it doesn't occur in the market version of OLV.

By the way: OpenLiveView has 1000 active installations from the market now .

 

[renzenicolai]

Fix for the incorrect notification timestamp bug.

Just an idea.

in my theme I use a modified notification icon and a small version of this icon http://psdlist.com/icon-symbol/440/android-live-view-device-icon-psd-file.html
