thanks for your effort but we already run a custom firmware on the liveview device as you can see within the last 3 pages.

Thank you TpmKranz!

Signed version of OLV so you guys won't have to reinstall it:
https://code.google.com/p/openlivevi...LV06012013.apk

Changelog:
- Added TpmKranz filter.
- Switched to dashboard layout for the main activity.

Invisible changes:
- Started working on the plugin api

To do:
- Rewrite the database code


Request:
Can someone draw a couple of icons (or take them from the android resources)?
- Icon for notes (for use on the liveview)
- Icon for sms messages (for use on the liveview)
- Any other icon that you want to see replaced
- Any other icon that you want to add (for future use)

Icons that are going to be used on the lv should:
- have a size of 36x36 px
- be in the png format
- have no transparency
(I attached a couple of the icons currently used in OLV)

Thank you all for your help, support and feedback!

hi renzenicolai:

is this based on the original apk form sony? or was built from ground up?

this is a great app!
can we also re-use icons from the original one. =)

Hey,

first: AWESOME
second: QUESTION

Is it possible to run OLV as an System App or any other method to prevent it getting killed by the buildin Taskkiller?
I can use my watch for like 2 min after my taskkiller kills its process.
It never got killed on 4.0.4 as I saw it under Systemapps running.

Keep up the awesomeness!

you cannot run apps as system app unless you have the firmware keys from each and every android firmware out there.

what could be done would be running it as service as you can see here.

i dont know if anyone here thought about this yet
(whatsapp does it this way)


edit:
lolz.. Lxus.. he sits behind my screen.. (at work)
he runs JB on an old google nexus. i guess its getting killed because his device has not that much ram. will check it out tomorrow.

First of all: great job. I like it very much.
I read this topic 2 weeks ago (before buying this device).

Anyway, renzenicolai, I must thank you for all your work.
My question is: why I can't see the contact name in the LV display. I remember thet you told us somme pages ago that this feature is in work and later that the applications need permission to read contact data... can somebody help me?
Thank you!

Attached to this post is a version of OpenLiveView that shows the contact name.

When will the new code be available on Google Code?

Thanks!

I added two other "plugin ideas", one that fetch a http string (configurable in settings) and show as a text notification. The second one is a simple dice. Once the plugin functionality has come a bit further I will start create and publish these ideas as plugins instead of releasing a modified apk.

I also added a new setting. In renzenicolais source, all notifications in the database are wiped out when you select the icon at the bottom of each notification. Depending on the new setting, the database will be wiped OR the current notification will be added to the filter. I.e. you do not have to manually enter the texts you want to filter out, just let OLV send them to the LV and select the icon at the bottom...

Source will be posted tomorrow, but apk file is attached.

is possible to use openliveview for notifications and liveview applications only for plugins?

Sorry, no that is not possible. The Sony app and OpenLiveView would start to fight about the right to talk with the LiveView...

U can try but that doesn't work too good.

Source on google code is now updated with the filtering function. Plug-ins will published as separate projects when plug-in API works.

infact it doesn't work, i must uninstall liveview to use openliveview because liveview runs in background also if i kill the process

Your apk won't install for me, which I assume is due to different package names between yours and renzenicolai's builds, requiring an uninstall first to switch. Holding out for a new renzenicolai version to keep my settings really looking forward to your filter setting though, it will fix a major issue I'm having.
