Hi guys,
i'm developing an universal IR remote control. ATM its only working on the HTC ONE and i'm trying to port it to the Galaxy S4 (except the learning function).
The original thread is here:
ONE to remote them all
Got some confirms that it works on the S4 and the Galaxy Tab 8.0.
Please use this APK
http://otrta.nibdev.com/beta/ONEtoRemoteThemAllV2.apk
And follow the thread in the HTC ONE forum if you are interested in updates.

If you are interessted to try an .APK which should support the S4 (and other Samsung IR enabled devices), send me a PM.
When its confirmed working i'll publish an update and rename the thread correct

is this app going to have IR learning skills? i ask so because there are many devices which are not listed and there are also a few million devices from china which are not listed. IR learning would me great. Maybe some hardware tweak with IR receivers and using USB OTG or learning the IR codes via the camera or something similar?

I dont think IR learning is support for the Galaxy S4, at least not until someone finds out how. As i dont have a S4, i cant to any reverse enigneering.
Which devices / brands are missing? Did you tried the new DB with 45'000 codes and had a look if they are listed there?
On the other side, that Database would actually have been bigger, but i cut out all brands which i could not read (chinese, arabic, etc).
There are codes for chinese cableboxes i think, at least brands like:
惠州
珠江
东莞
东莞
黑龙江
山东
(+ a lot of others)
as i dont have any clue what these signs should mean, i delted them out

That's nice. But there are cheap chinese DVD players, media players, televisions, etc that work on IR remotes and the codes will not match all of them. Maybe if a simple interface for most uses like next, back, menu, volume, play, pause, forward, reverse, stop, power and mute are the must have buttons.
well i shall try the app and let you know if i am haveing issues.
Thanks for the reply though

is there any other skinned layout for the buttons. this one seems very hectic

If it works, please thest the DB2 Browser (its a new database i got with 45000+ codes, had not the time to correctly sort and implement it yet).
Not at the moment, tell me what you like as layout and try to implement it?
What you can do at the moment is to place a widget on your homescreen for most-used functions, and soon there will be possibilty to create custom layouts (again, was already in an earlier beta version)

What i had in mind was a simple remote control skin with most used buttons over it. the rest of the buttons like the numbers, other minimal used functions, etc to be placed in a drawer or pull-down menu.
Anyways, i shall try the new database and get back.
How (or is there one) do i use the TV B-Gone code? can this block all IR frequencies?

You will be able to define your layout with only your used buttons in a next version, event the buttons will be very simple (you can arrange, resize, add, delete default android buttons and assing a code).
Maybe i find a good "default" remote layout which i could use, with power, ch+/- etc, just the basic functions.
Yeah you can use the "All-off" function in the navigation menue, it will send all know power keys (the ones other users uploaded, not yet the ones form the new DB)

Hi folks!
I've been searching this section for an answer about editing the stock camera-app. Without any success at all (except by briefly sentences about this).
The goal with this is to make the flash to light up right before the application tries to focus. This will make it a alot easier to take photos in more dark places. (And for those with a past of nokia devices) you already experienced this function.
I've attached a .rar-file containing the following:
1. The original .apk file
2. The decomlied .jar file
3. A folder containing everything from inside the .apk (for those of you that haven't a clue at all how to extract files from a .apk file)
Date; 25th Apr 2011 Latest
Well if you are following this thread, you probably already know what's going on.
But for new visitors: I decided to change my approach to several problems I stumble upon. So I will more likely create a complete new camera app specific for the DHD. And yes, users to this forum will be the first to try it out. But I've haven't decided yet how I will distribute the app, if it will be through google marketplace, or just in here (or what ever it will be).
But if this project take up to much time, I would appreciate some kind of donations But of course after you folks seen some results
So keep tuned for more news!
Date; 3rd Mar 2011
Still stuck at succeeding to complie back to ordinary apk-file again. So if there is someone with any kind of knowledge about this, please let me know.
Date; 17th Feb 2011
Well guys, I succeeded to change some values, but I still got some problems to complie it back to .dex
Maybe an update about this during the day
Date; 16th Feb 2011
I've succeeded to find the class containing all definitions (for an exapmle: how many seconds it will take for the timer to take a photo).
I will try to edit some values and the complie it back to .dex (in other words make it back to .apk).
I hope to update before the end of the day.
Cheers folks!
Date; 15th Feb 2011
I've manage to decomplie classes.dex in HTCCamera.apk to a .jar-file. So if you got a java complier it shouldn't be any problem to open up the file.
The main problem right now is to find which class that handles the actual moment when it tries to focus. So if any one with some sort of knowledge about programming have some time over, feel free to help me find this specific class.
While it's a good idea, what I do is extract the torch app from Cyanogen Mod, then put it on and go home, because the torch will stay on until you go back on the app and shut it off, so I use the torch and then I launch the camera, try it!

I don't use Cyanogen mod, can you upload that apk somewhere?
A more pressing matter is that when a video is recorded, audio is compressed and encoded in such a low quality. As a result, the audio is very bad. Here are some ideas I can give you. Reroute the microphone input from back to front mic. In other words, the mic we use while talking. Increase quality to at least 128kbps and 44100Hz frequency. And disable ACG. I assure you, doing this will benefit the whole of the Desire HD community I'll gladly donate once my EMA comes in next week

Well, it's a solution ^^
But not one I want to use. I don't want to luanch two applications just to take one picture.
But thanks for the suggestion
Elemental_Fire:
That is exactly the kind of things I want to change
Glad that someone is finally doing something about this.
I just don't understand why this function is not found in DHD.
Without it, most photos taken in the dark are blur as there is not sufficient time and light for it to focus correctly.
I personally don't like to use 3rd party application for camera. Therefore I hope that your work would interact with the phone camera and make the LED flash to bright up automatically without any additional application or with "one time setting" only.
Fingers crossed for this...
Any progress made? Maybe some ROM developers could take a look at it?

Well, sorry guys for my inactivity. But I got som studies in the way, so I hope there will be som extra time over for this

Hmmm, loving the idea. I'm also wondering about pausing in video recording, like pause-continue recording-stop etc, like in nokia's too
Looking forward to updates here. Hopefully you can do something about the god awful audio quality.
@Elemental Fire..as far as i know, there is only one mic on our DHDs, the mic you use to talk on phone calls at the bottom. There is no other mic.
edit: this thread should really be moved to the Development section. There would be a lot more activity there and more who could help.

Threes a mic right beside the flash leds... its also used to cancel out background noise during calls by using both mics
My DHD has no such mic.
There's no hole right beside the flash leds of your DHD?

I believe that picture is from a prototype dhd before it was released. I was under the impression that it was canned for the final release? Mine doesnt have that hole. Am i the only one? Look here, there's no second mic

I have the hsdpa version of this phone from TELUS. The hole is visible and the otterbox even is routed around the hole.
Heres a picture from the excuse of a camera I have since I broke my other good one
I am missing the possibility to set up image compression. Or it would be enough to change the jpeg compression forever. In my oppinion, the compression of pictures is too high and small details are lost.
I have opened a similar thread some times ago but was trashed without reason!
I think this is a very important issue of dhd. My nokia n79 has the ability to take wonderful photos in totally dark conditions!
I thinks became a trick to make an up that open flash and take it opened while launching camera app.
It's not automatic way but I think is a workaround until the solution!

I believe that is the Inspire 4G, if you look at pictures you'll notice that the Desire HD does NOT have anything next to the Camera LEDs, while the Inspire does, but I haven't heard whether it's a real advantage or not.
Well replace the HTC logo with at&t and then yes, it's an Inspire 4G.
There has been a little conversation about this new device in the Yinlips G18 thread, but I thought it deserved it's own space.

Rooting / Google Market install instructions (thanks jutley)
Firmware update/restore instructions - Note that the S7100 is available in either a resistive or (slightly more expensive) capacitive touchscreen version. The ROMs for these two versions are not intercompatible. Make sure you get the correct update. (thanks blokenfeffer)
Starfox 64 demo:
More information will be added as it becomes available.
Quick walkthrough on how to replace the stock emulators on the S7100.
Disclaimer as usual: everything here is at your OWN RISK.
I'll be using Gensoid as an example, as this emulator refused to launch for me out of the box.
Requirements:
Rooted S7100.
File explorer with root permissions.
Gensoid replacement.
1) Once your device is rooted, you'll need to grab a file explorer. The explorer I use is ES File Explorer.
2) Download Gensoid. For this example, place this on the root of your SD card. As long as you can find this file in ES Explorer, it doesn't really matter where you put it.
Instructions:
Launch ES File Explorer, press the menu button and change the following options:
Change Home Directory to /
Check Root Explorer to enabled
Check Mount File System to enabled
Back out of the settings and navigate to the following directory:
/system/app
Long press on Gnes4droid.apk and rename it to Gnes4droid.apkbak
Navigate to /system/libs/ and rename the folder Gnes4droid to Gnes4droidbak
Now power off the S7100 and power it back up again, if you do not power off installation in the next step will fail.
Launch ES File Explorer again and find the APK for Gensoid that you downloaded previously and press it. It should now offer to install the application, follow the on screen steps and you should have successfully replaced the preloaded version of Gensoid.
Any games you have should still autmoatically launch from the Game Center icons and the MD lists, but adds the advantage of having a launcher icon for the emulator itself, should you wish to customise your device with another launcher.
This should work for any preloaded emulator that you wish to replace with a previous version. Do NOT delete the other emulators just incase you want to revert.
If you have any issues, you can always undo the renaming operations above.
I ordered one of these things a few weeks ago, and finally got it in the mail, but it doesn't boot; it sits at a blank white screen. Any thoughts?

Tried booting into recovery and loading factory defaults? I read about someone who had a similar issue.
Which website did you buy it from?
If factory defaults don't work you could also try downloading f/w above and reloading it.
To get into recovery (courtesy of Jutleys via apad forum):
Press and hold the Menu button, keep the Menu button pressed and now press the Power on button. The "upgrading please wait" message will be displayed.The menu will be displayed. Use the Volume + and - buttons to navigate the menu options.From the menu you can perform the following functions:Wipe data/factory reset.Yes-delete all user data.Wipe cache partition.Wipe media storage partition.Apply SD-card update.zip.
From the menu choose "Apply SD-card update.zip" select the option using the Back button. Wait while the tablet reflashes. Ensure the battery is fully charged or the power cable is connected before starting the reflash process. After the reflash is complete. Press the Back button to reboot the tablet.
I just ordered one of these. Sounds perfect since I am delevoping games for Android, and this is a mix of everything Android it seems.
I got just about all Emulators for Android, so I hope to test how well they will work on this. Amiga, C64, almost all Segas, most Nintendo, DosBox and Playstation 1. I just worry that it might be too low quality and won't work at all.

JXD S7100 ADW Launcher & Custom icons

First thing i did was root, install market, and got rid of that horrible launcher it comes with, replaced it with ADW, and i also made a few custom icons for games and emulators, still working on more. Heres a pic

When u say u got rid of the launcher, can u completely remove it or just use adw instead?
Reason bring is I installed go launcher but the original still resides.
Also do u know how to get rid if the Chinese market and crap? I replaced some default emulators with new versions by renaming originals in system/app folder but can't see anything fire the Chinese stuff.
I did not completely remove it but I beleive you can use titanium backup, I used it to remove all the Chinese apps and everything else I didn't need

Wouldn't be wise to remove their launcher entirely. If you use an alternative launcher though, you can set it as the default launcher which effectively does the same thing anyway.
Settings > applications > all > launcher > clear defaults on "Launch by default".
Next time you press HOME, it will ask you which app to use as your default launcher, set it to Go Launcher and it'll be the default launcher from boot.
To reverse this if you have any issues, repeat the steps above and select Go Launcher to clear defaults, instead of launcher.

JXD s7100 Bluetooth Support?
Does anyone know if this device supports Bluetooth? I read on another forum that there is a firmware upgrade for the resistive screen model that has Bluetooth in the caption. If the device does have Bluetooth, does this mean it's only in the resistive screen model? Maybe only later releases of the device received the Bluetooth capability (resistive and capacitive)? Thanks for any information.

There seems to be a few different models out there and seemingly one of them has bluetooth. I'm not aware of where this model is being sold though, as almost nobody seems to have a bluetooth enabled model.
My capacitive model doesn't have bluetooth and looking at the restive models other users have, theirs don't have it either.
Fairly sure this isn't a stock upgrade for later releases though, rather another SKU.

Do you think that this is an error on their part? They have had this same information on their site since the launch of the device.

It's possibly an error, or they could have the bluetooth model. Mine has bluetooth sharing running in the background, but there's no bluetooth hardware in the machine that I'm aware of.
There are definitely 3 different firmware revisions on the JXD site though, including bluetooth and none bluetooth versions.

Thanks again, blokenfeffer. That answers my question to why I saw a picture on JXD's website with the Bluetooth symbol running in the notification bar. It must have just been running in the software, yet it does not have the actual hardware to support it. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the new units coming out have Bluetooth or not.
Mine definitely does not have bluetooth. Interestingly, it thinks it has GPS, but even after spending 10 very cold minutes outside with the device pointed at the sky, I could not get a single satellite signal. So I suspect that radio is not present either.
Lots of tinkering!
I have been following this thread since its introduction and appreciate all the tips and tricks that have been very helpful. I thought I would add my findings to the thread.
I finally got current location working in the browser and on wifi.
After countless try's I have found a reliable networklocation.apk that works..
- 1 First you must be rooted
- 2 In order to get it to work google search tiadroid6.1 and its the first link that pops up.
- 3 Extract the file networklocation.apk and using (es file explorer or similiar app) and add it to your /system/apps folder
- 4 shutdown and reboot your device
Volia! enjoy!
Things I have currently done
- Rooted/Market via visionary
- Changed boot screen
- ICS Keyboard (must have)
- Removed Badiu and all the factory launcher and junk (makes this thing pretty snappy)
- Netflix works great
- Skype works but hangs at times
Problems I'm currently working
- factory camera app is really screwy I downloaded HDR app from the market and it appears to work fine so I'm hoping its software
When I load it I sit at a blank screen regardless of which camera I have selected. Sometimes I can get it to work by going to video and clicking the mms video option.
- GTA III boots and loads just fine plays the entire movie and will sometimes even let you play for a minute or two then crashes with an android process error
I *had* Bluetooth on mine untill I dared to update it with one of the firmware on JXD's website
UPDATE:
Fixed my camera problem and with chainfire 3D most games work really well on this thing. For those that have sporadic camera issues make sure that you don't have the screen locked and that the screen rotates.
I'm crossing my fingers to get gingerbread on this device so that we can use OnLive gaming.
Also I have been messing with power profiles and am seeing better battery life in the 4+ hr range.
The charger that came with it died so I'm in the process of building another one. So more to come once I can charge this thing!

Quick question about your bluetooth. Did you actually have it working? If so have you taken apart to get the BT chip info by chance to try and recover that functionality?

Well, I could turn it on & off, it seemed to be responding properly, was going to test some bluetooth gadgets after the firmware upgrade but alas...
I haven't taken the thing apart yet, I'm mailing back & forth with JXD at the moment to see if they can help, if that fails though I probably will take it apart.

Requirements
Android Gingerbread or higher
Requires root in JellyBean 4.3 and higher
Overscan available only in JellyBean 4.3 and higher

Downloads
All features of the app are available for free, without any ads. If this app has been helpful, there's an option to donate via an in-app purchase. This does NOT unlock any new features. Thank you for your support.
Please do not mirror without permission. Link to this thread or play store page if you want to share this app elsewhere. So that users will know where to check for updates and get support from.
_
Important Information
A nandroid/Ti backup is recommended before trying the app.
Some devices/ROMs face a soft reboot when density is changed. There's a test in the app to check this. If density change indeed causes reboot, density is ignored in per-app profiles.
If your screen becomes unusable after setting a resolution, wait for ~15 seconds. It should revert to your default resolution.
If that does not work, reboot -> wait for 2 min (for the service to start) -> reboot again -> wait for service to start.
If that too does not work (I certainly hope that you won't have to do this), issue the following commands in adb shell (using a pc):
For JB 4.3 and above:
Code:
wm size reset
wm density reset
wm overscan reset
Below JB 4.3:
Code:
am display-size reset
am display-density reset
Also please note that uninstalling the app won't restore default display settings. So please switch the service off first, if you want to uninstall. Also tell me why you uninstalled it.

Thank you all for the amazing response! 10000 downloads at the end of 1 week! (XDA + bitly link)
Thanks to XDA Portal and Phone Arena, and other tech blogs, for featuring the app. It means a lot, to get this kind of exposure for one of the first apps of mine.
A bit of background
I have a Nexus 4, and it's display started to develop problems a few months back. The nav bar area stopped registering touches at all (though ghost-touches were experienced quite frequently). I managed with pie controls and similar apps for a while. But more recently, this area began to increase, and almost 50% of my screen doesn't respond to touch now. I was looking for a software solution to make the phone usable till I can replace the digitizer and screen of my phone. Then I stumbled upon an adb shell command, wm, which could do a temporary fix for my touch screen issues. I thought I'd make a GUI for the functionality offered by the wm command, and the end result is what you see in this thread.
What Next?
I'm planning to implement per-app profiles, and automatic density calculation for the next major version of the app.
Suggestions are welcome.
Some credits
https://github.com/matrixxun/ProductTour for the initial tutorial/product tour shown in the app.

It does work in Lollipop. You can see that the screenshots are in fact taken in 5.1 Lollipop.
It should work with M too. I don't have a device to check that right now. Maybe I'll test it out in M emulator as soon as possible.

forgive my ignorance but is this just an easy way to change the (or what was) "ro.sf.lcd_density=XX" in the build.prop or is there something special to this? I realize there's more to it vs the build.prop edit, but it does kinda/sorta the same type of thing? not discrediting the feature...Just curious Thanks again!

Actually, it's an easy way to issue the adb command wm (or am before JB 4.3).
Check this SO question for more details on wm command: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18500611/android-how-to-use-adb-shell-wm-to-simulate-other-devices.
I started building this app because parts of my screen stopped working, actually. Then I thought, it could be useful more generally.

Just switch the service off using the switch in action bar. If your display has somehow become unusable, follow instructions in OP, under the heading "Important Information". If you have uninstalled the app, resetting can be done using the adb commands mentioned there.
First of all, Avast Mobile Security detects your app as suspicious and advises uninstalling it immediately. I hope there are no malwares
Btw, about the app, as soon as I gave it root access, my device hot-rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop. Then I switched it off and restarted it, device started optimizing all the apps (just like after fresh rom install). Everytime I open the app my device reboots
Device - Note 2 N7100
ROM - CM12.1

Um that's bad. Well, you are free to examine the source if there's any doubt. It could be because app requests root, or permission to get to know call state changes, so that when a call comes, display can be adjusted to default resolution (this behavior can be configured in settings).
As for the hot-reboot, I wonder what the problem is... Can you uninstall the app and try issuing these commands directly using adb, and see whether reboot happens then?
Code:
wm size WIDTHxHEIGHT
wm overscan LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM
wm density DENSITY
Replace the Upper caps words with required values.

Hey thanks for that! I'll definitely add this. Meanwhile, there are still some hard-coded strings in the app (like button texts etc), which I'll move to strings.xml, and update the project soon. Will it be asking too much to provide translations for those as well?

Hi everyone,
I want to introduce you SpotifyKeys app for our head units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you start using the application, please check if "Device Broadcast Status" is enabled in spotify settings. Without enabling this option you will not be able to use SpotifyKeys. More info can be found here.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you can control your Spotify application by steering wheel keys and device's hard keys. Just simply bind key to next/previous/toggle play/launch action.
Features:
Possible to bind multiple keys (device's hard keys and steering wheel keys) for next/previous/toggle play action
Bind steering wheel keys or device's hard keys for switching to the next track (only when Spotify's playback is active)
Bind steering wheel keys or device's hard keys for switching to the previous track (only when Spotify's playback is active)
Bind steering wheel keys or device's hard keys for toggle play
Bind steering wheel keys or device's hard keys to launch Spotify
Application has been originally developed for MTCD GS 1.61 (Android 5.1.1) device but by using microntek "virtual keys" broadcast layer it should work also for other resellers (e.g. Joying, KGL).
Please note that any key that you want to bind in SpotifyKeys should be bound first in original KeyStudy app from Factory Settings.
In order to remove learnt key use a Long Press.
It is standalone application. You DO NOT NEED TO ROOT your device in order to make SpotifyKeys work. Any Xposed framework or other 3rd party stuff is not needed as well.
SpotifyKeys has autorun feature - it means that Android should launch it in background automatically after bootup. Just install it, "learn" key codes and forget .

SpotifyKeys 1.4
Hi to all.
New version of SpotifyKeys has been released. Functionality of learning "launch" key has been added. Now you can start Spotify or bring it to foreground using an hard key that you bound for "launching".
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Today during tests I discovered that "com.microntek.irkeyDown" broadcast works only for keys which have assigned any action in "Factory Setting".
In case if application cannot handle key press, try to check in your Factory Settings (password to enter it: 126) whether you defined actions for buttons that you want to use in SpotifyKeys.
Please note that in "Factory Settings" you can also define "Long press" action for an button and it will have separated key code which can be used to launch Spotify (e.g. long press for "Music" hard key). In "Factory Settings" just declare any dummy action for long press (# or *), then bound this long press in SpotifyKeys.
Also one note that I forgot to mention: YOU DO NOT NEED ROOT YOUR DEVICE to use SpotifyKeys.
Enjoy!
This is such a great and powerful App!
No root, no xposed and Spotify is finaly perfect integrated in our head units!
Btw, where is your donation button?

Thank you for your feedback once again! It was really important for me to make an app which does not need much effort to make it work . All stuff with Xposed was too complicated and does not work in 100% so I decided to use my abilities and create an alternative app and share with other users.

Hello, Is Spotify's playback active (any song is playing) when you try to change the track? What about toggle play? Have you tried this functionality?
Will this only work on MTCD devices ? title suggests so but if anyone has tried it on MTCB did it work ?

Hi , I have the same problem .
it works:
- launch Spotify
- play
does not work:
- next track
- previous track
- pause (II)
Thank's for your job
ferrari312_uk, you can try it on MTCB as well. Application does not have any hardware dependencies. I tested it on Android 4.4, 5.1 and 6.0 - it works. But I did not test it on MTCB. If you have possibilities, please do it and share the result.
Enemy16, what version of spotify are you using? Please note that switching to the next or previous works only when spotify's playback is active.
If during installation spotify was active, after installation and key learning procedure please make pause/play once directly in spotify. Application relies on playback status sent from spotify,and it could be not updated right after application installation.

This is an unoffical build of Gadgetbridge and is for the advanced user.
I am not responsible for anything bad, which could happen to your smartphone or smartwatch.
[COLOR="red"]Do not mirror my builds![/COLOR] Please post a link to this thread instead.[/SIZE]
Introduction
Gadgetbridge is an Android (4.4+) application which will allow you to use your Pebble, Mi Band, Amazfit Bit and HPlus device (and more) without the vendor's closed source application and without the need to create an account and transmit any of your data to the vendor's servers. (from https://gadgetbridge.org/)
Here I will present you the Gadgetbridge app with additional support for the MyKronoz ZeTime.
The purpose of the thread is to reach some testers, further improve the support for that smartwatch and find people interested in developing or enhance the user experience.

FAQ
Q: Is all data fetch from the watch and stored on my phone?
A: Yes, as far as I know all data gets save to the database. But the data is not delete from the watch so you can sync this data with the offical app too. The database can also be export, see the Gadgetbridge wiki.
Q: Can I configure my watch from within Gadgetbridge, say to wear it on the other hand?
A: At the moment configuration or calibration of the watch is not supported, but in future update this may come.
Q: I found something weird, what should I do now?
A: Please get us a log to show what is the problem, see the Gadgetbridge wiki for help.

Time out screen
Plse consider changing display always on on the watch for watchfaces despite the decrease of batterylife,when you make configuration of the watch possible.
Thnx.
Oh this is what I've been hoping for! I'll be testing this out. My Zetime just sits in the drawer now anyway, so nothing to lose. It's a great looking watch, but with very minimal hardware and very poor MyKronoz App support. Any way you guys can rig the vibration to multiples or patterns?
---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------
The fact you support music apps and not just streaming only is amazing! I can finally use Neutron Player or Pulsar+ on my Note 8! Thank you!
So what's the verdict? How is it working?
Gadgetbridge has merged the ZeTime support. The newest version 0.28.0 will work from now on.
Updated the OP with a new version.
Very good work.
Is there a plan to continue working on this?
I also have a Zetime and would like to help where I can.

The maximal screen timeout value is 18 hours. I've had a short test and waited more than 5 minutes, to proof that it exceeds the maximal value settable via the official app.
I will let the user set a screen timeout in seconds to his/her likings in gadgetbridge.
Sadly the firmware of the watch starts dimming the screen only when half of the set time is up.
well done. will test ASAP. do you think its possible to rewrite the source of the watch firmware to add other widgets?
i decompiled the source of the zeTime app some month ago, but i was not able to find which files where transfered to the watch when a firmware update is available.

You will not found it in the app itself, the firmware is loaded from a server. If you wish to have a look, here is a link with some firmware versions I collected: https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1L5-We9f1NqJVsOqJPDC06v9bucprxj7h?usp=sharing
The most up to date firmware files are missing... Maybe I will soon download the newest ones and add them. In a Zip-file you find different firmware files. The picture bin files have something to do with fonts, Smileys, background and so on. Then there is the firmware of the main processor. Firmware for the sensors and firmware for the bluethooth chip. It may vary from archive to archive. This is just some guessing.
What one can do is dissamble the firmware file, but you have to know some assembler to do some modifications.
If we had the source, than it would be possible to add widgets.
new update in the download section of the OP.
a few more config options are available... please try it out.
Thanks for update, sadly the download is not working. Always getting 404 not found.
Hey !
I'm just getting back to ZeTime & Gadgetbridge and I see that you've made some really great improvements!
Do you need any help in the protocol reverse-engineering? I've seen that you've managed to figure out the parameters commands, is there anything else I can try to do?

For sure! It is better to have another pair of eyes looking over the protocol. I have copied your work to the wiki of gadgetbridge so we can put everything together we know so far. But haven't got time to update, what I have coded.
Testing new functions if you like.
Used the first rollout of Gadgetbridge that was compatible with Zetime. Very impressed back then. However, last I checked since wearing it a while ago, the bluetooth was always disconnecting/reconnecting couple times an hour. Extremely annoyed at the constant disconnected notifications. Both are sync/bluetooth problems with Gadgetbridge and the official MyKronoz app. And - Yes - my phone and watch are right next to each other or in the same room and I've already tried unpairing/resetting/rebooting/uninstalling all apps and reinstalling.
Anyone else have this problem and/or solutions? If it's the bluetooth chip or other hardware then I may just have to move on to a Galaxy Watch (might do anyway, but I never like to bin perfectly good looking but faulty devices).

How do you know or check for the buggy connection? Just one app should be runnning at a time, otherwise there might be some interference...
Best to do a logcat maybe like this:
Code:
adb logcat BluetoothGatt:D *:S
to only see the discovery, connetion messages of the bluetooth stack. So you and others can see how much reconnections are taking place.
I have attached my log of about 5 1/2 hours. You see at 11:21 I was too far away from the phone to connect.
Further infos like android version, would be good. If the gadgetbridge app have some problems with the connection, then it is best to issue this at the gadgetbridge repo. If the problem is the watch, then only MyKronoz can fix their firmware...

I think MyKronoz did change some time back the way they send notifications to the watch. They have new header codes for email, social and maybe sms, which are divided in header and subject... or anything like that.
Maybe we should also look at that, I may also be totally wrong.
A different big thing are firmware updates and watch face uploads.
I don't really see a difference... But In the protocol description on my computer, there is 2 more bytes at the end of a notification message compared to the one on the wiki. I've noted "always '0200'", but now I find always 'ff00'. I don't really know the purpose of these bytes. Apart from that, I don't see any modification. Did you have any update ? (I'm using ZeTime Petite "A1.0(R2.4T0.3H0.5) (Build 34)", they have different version numbers for ZeTime and ZeTime Petite, maybe there is other differences...)
Also on the updates and watch faces part, I also think this is the next big thing But I think we should first work on the parameters (I don't know where you are on this, is there still a lot missing ?)

Ok, thought there might be... I havn't got an update on this, because it wasn't looking at notifications at the moment. They are working and working on some parameters were my focus.
Some of them are more complicated than others...
At the moment we set alarm reminders, but a menu is missing to set different reminders, MK has 10 different ones minus the alarm. I know it works just the same as an alarm.
I know about setting the time zone, snooze time, text size, language and the metrics, which are missing in the app. I think I know how to switch the night mode background. I hope other parameters are listed in the OP.
I also want to implement a feature not available by the MyKronoz App: Someone might want to set the watch hands some minutes ahead of the time to be not too late or something like that.
Problem seems solved

How do you know or check for the buggy connection? Just one app should be runnning at a time, otherwise there might be some interference...
Best to do a logcat maybe like this:
Code:
adb logcat BluetoothGatt:D *:S
to only see the discovery, connetion messages of the bluetooth stack. So you and others can see how much reconnections are taking place.
I have attached my log of about 5 1/2 hours. You see at 11:21 I was too far away from the phone to connect.
Further infos like android version, would be good. If the gadgetbridge app have some problems with the connection, then it is best to issue this at the gadgetbridge repo. If the problem is the watch, then only MyKronoz can fix their firmware...

I was typing a bunch of jargon of software details on my current set-up and also that I have paired the Zetime with an old iPhone and my old Galaxy S7 Edge (currently using a Note 8) which all show the same disconnection/reconnection problems when decided to take a dive into the hardware of the watch and found something very interesting.
Immediately on removing the back plate/heartrate monitor/charger I noticed that the internal battery was installed backwards. The plastic cap that is supposed to shield the battery from the board was put on the wrong side and the metal housing of the battery was pressed to the board with nothing to shield it. As the battery connector was on the right side, I realised that whoever had had the job to put on the battery's plastic plate had put it on the reverse side. I then pulled the plastic cap off the battery and adhered it to the proper side facing towards the internal watch board. After reconnecting the battery and reconnecting the watch backplate back on I've re-paired it to the Note 8 and now ... no more random disconnections!
It's just amazing how a small oversight on assembly at the factory can cause so many problems that require such an easy solution. Its just weird that I thought to take this watch apart before getting crazy-mad-frustrated at software not working and found a solution!
Thanks for all your info mate! I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me out. Cheers!
