[App][Part-Root][4.0+] Sms Tasks!

This app is Currently on-Hold Due to Personal Health-Concerns, i Pulled from Google-Play due to it being Reverted to a unstable-build due to a False-Report of some kind.
Hello This is my first app ive made so please be kind about it.
but first in regards to the bad-apk upload to google-play prior to 7/03/2014
for all those who dont know, the update was in regards to a settings not applying glitch causing the app to fail completely if it wasnt my set device id so i had no clue untill i saw a review then tested on mine then on my friends phone:
i feel bad i uploaded a bad apk and got around 30 people disapointed and 3 who baught pro disapointed so i have refunded all for pro version, removed it, then removed all ads from the free version and republished on 7/03/2014 and work a straight 6 hours to get it up+running fully from scratch with minimal code reusing to make sure it works, same android restrictions apply so gps toggling and a few others still apply, but i tried many methods to get it working, but only tested on 4.4.2 but some codes should work for 4.0+ but i feel really bad about it so i did all i could to remake it as well as i could so please try to give it another shot as i worked hard to get it up+running to work again =)
**For GoSMS+Other SMS/MMS App Users that are not receiving commands:
Abraheem said:
I haven't used this program yet. I use Cerberus which has the same problem with GOSMS.
Here is a solution that works for cerberus and should work in similar situations:
Open Go SMS Pro, tap 'Menu', 'Settings', 'Advanced', 'Other setting' then uncheck 'Disable other message notifications'.
Then back to 'Advanced', then 'Notification settings', check 'Notification bar privacy mode' and that so it will not display the recieved sms commend!
Then open the stock SMS App, tap 'Menu', 'Settings' then uncheck 'Notifications'.
The idea can be used with Handcent sms and other sms programs. Hope it works

otherwise: THIS APP WILL NOT WORK IF YOU HAVE GOSMS INSTALLED, GOSMS must be frozen or uninstalled**
Intro:
This is a SMS Broadcast Receiver app that will listen to incoming Text messages and do a Pre-Made task set to them
This app was partially inspired by the Remote Terminal, Remote ShutOff, and Remote Unlock apps from the xda-announcements
(not sure of developer names at the moment, but i did like those apps myself and thought "why dont i make one just like that?"
So i did. and it doesn't need to be a system app or fully rooted to do so!
**note** i'm a single person developer so i cannot make every function compatible for every phone because i only have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltevzw, Partly Broken-Yet-?Unlocked? bootloader, Rooted Stock 4.4.2), so if a feature doesn't work for you, i cannot help much because i only can test it on mine at the moment, and this works perfectly on mine as far as i test, so sorry in advanced if anything doesnt work, send me a logcat of reproduction, your phones model, android version, if you are rooted, and try to follow this format enough
Example Based on my personal phone:.
Code:
-Phone Model: Samsung Galaxy S4
-Phone Code Name(if-Known, otherwise skip this): jflte-vzw
-Phone Android Version: 4.4.2
-App Version: 999999-DEV (My Personal Version Tag, i only have it, gets changed on releases)
-Are Rooted?: Yes
-Root Was Granted?: Yes
-Have a LogCat?: This is just an example; but say "yes" or "no"
or their respective simaliers your comfortable with like "yea","yeah","nah"
-Is Device Administrator Enabled?: Yes.
-Issue (all details): this is an example of the issue Area.
Features include: [R] = root required [~R] = root may be required for newer phones [D] = Disabled in Disable Dangerous On Wildcards
-customizable passphrase used for all commands except both echo's (cannot be blank, but unlimited length (as long as you can fit commands after it), there is no old passphrase, so on your first run(or after data wipe), leave the old Passphrase alone, and type your new one in the two other text fields)
-turning on/off the service when changing passcodes(or typing in the same passcode in old, new, and confirm)
-[R]Shutting off phone
-[R]Rebooting phone
-[R]Rebooting into recovery
-[R][D]Sending terminal commands
-[R][D]Uninstalling apps remotely (By package name, eg. com.rovio.angrybirds, **reboot afterwards required**, system apps uninstallable also)
-Sending Echo's (toast messages, multi-lined acceptable)
-Sending multiple Echos (multi-line Echo's, separated into different toast messages one-after-another)
-[R]Bypassing the security lock of your phone, with reboot (beta feature, picks and chooses when to work when screen off) (supports: regular patterns, cyanogenmod 4x4-6x6 patterns, passwords, digit pins)
-[D]SDcard Wiping (Cannot be undone, see notes and warnings below command)
-[D]Remote Factory Reset (device admin needs to be enabled, android 2.2+)
-[~R]Toggle wifi, wifi hotspot, gps, bluetooth, ADB (on newer android firmware, some toggles need to be on a rooted phone for toggles to work; GPS requires to be a system app)
-Text-to-Speech (Makes your phone talk and say what you put after the command, some censors are put)
-One-Time Alarm sound (makes your phone set off the alarm sound, if failed (or media/sdcard unmounted) does System Alarm sound, if failed notification sound, if that fails does ringtone)
-Looping Alarm sound (shuts off with snooze command)
-Custom Alarm ( place "Alarm.mp3" in (external sdcard path)/KittleApps/Smstasks/Alarms/Alarm.mp3)
-Snooze alarm
-[R]Toggle ADB
-Rechecks Superuser (just basic rechecks superuser request, if already allowed does the toast message)
-Reading all your incoming text messages with the announcement "Text from (number or email) saying... (message)" (can be disabled/enabled in commands, or in the more settings menu.)
-Disabling/enabling almost any command (does not disable command to check superuser or the command to enable/disable commands)
-White-listing 2 numbers, and one email (no special characters use only numbers 0 through 9, no Country codes, Can allow all numbers (not email), by setting only the wildcard * )
-GPS Tracking (only as good as the gps on your phone, gives overall accuracy in metres, this will turn on gps on start) (separate command to stop tracking)
-Testing if app is installed and running correctly.
-Requiring Confirmation of pass phrase to disable/enable change whitelists
Commands (and format) to use these are, (where (pass)= your passphrase) (options for a few select commands are: true,false,enabled,disabled,t,f)
**Note: when it says "1234", or (option), do not include the ( ) or " Symbol(s) in the command. only your pass phrase and/or the option with spaces only to separate the [email protected], the passphrase, and options, with no spaces afterwards unless it is the speak, echo, multi-echo, cmd commands so far**:

in regards to convert this (or any app) to a system app via commands?
type these in seperate texts in new messages (as it will be long...) make #### your currently set pass phrase
Code:
[email protected]#### cp /data/app/com.kittleapps.app.smstask.apk > /system/app/smstasks.apk
[email protected]#### chmod 644 /system/app/smstasks.apk
[email protected]#### rm /data/app/com.kittleapps.app.smstasks.apk
then reboot the phone =) its how i debug it on-the-fly just do not remove from data/app before you chmod 644 the system app as you will no longer see the app as installed; so if you need to use the [email protected] command to test if it is still reading the commands =)
**do not use this method maliciously! i'm just showing for some users to convert to system app easily using my app for gps toggling issues! **
In Regards to the [email protected] Command "Being Malicious" as some argue to me it is, heres an explaination why its not
This command now uses an overlay to keep the Activity ALWAYS on-top, it will be fullscreen, and may seem the home button, back button, and others do not work;
this is intentional, but not maliciously, i have been given rants+complaints about it "Hacking the home button", but this is not the case;
the command loads an overlay on top of all apps like Facebook's ChatHeads, only it will not read back keys like their app, or home keys like their app to close it due to it being a security feature for this app (as its a remote controlling app, based on security) so it wouldnt be wise to allow the tracking to be shut off with a simple back press right? and i dont want to do a background one, as thats a battery hog
but.. to close the app you MUST use the [email protected] command, or wait untill it does its default Max Location Texts to be sent (3): after that the [email protected] will stop the location tracking, and close the dialog by shutting down the activity; but i will let you know it is not malicious and i will provide the code used for the overlay as-is on-request in a private message, email, or simply in a reply and ill add it in a CODE tag, or attach the file as-is in the reply i make so you can see =P i DO NOT EVER intend to be malicious, as it is bad practices for online communities, let alone developers and their work, thus why i add warnings to do not use it maliciously, or what could be dangerous if misused not as intended =)

nice app, mate, sure looks promising
would be great to be able to send a command to fully wipe phone / sd card, this should be a great feature to have in case you loose or get your phone stolen

Thanks for the app. Full wipe phone/sdcard via sms would be great function.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

weird because it works on my phone, i cant really test on other phones, but ill tweak it around a bit and check every command again, but the wakelock picks and chooses when to work when the screen is locked or shut off with patterns/pin/password, ill try to find a better way to use one, but make sure you accept/grant the superuser request But there is also a glitch when sending non-commands making the app crash, but ill try to fix that soon also, might i ask what command you tried to use (not with your pass code just the function would do)
i will also try to add the wipe functions soon, ill have to find a reliable way to wipe data with shell commands, as thats how these commands (with the exception of the echo's) work, but for sdcard wipe, that will be easier ill start working on it soon.

I had very similar ideas after the first shutdown app came out. One idea i got to tweak that a little bit more was why don't listen to other msg services like whatsapp, instead of SMS, cause it's a little bit old school. Might be a next version of your app come up with other msg systems?
Another thing I have regonized are for Samsung branded Devices: Samsung offers a protect services to shut your phone down or locate it wheb it's stolen etc. . So because you do this through a website Samsung needs to create a SU Access to the phone. Ain't it possible to access this services over an API and build a program around it? ...or I am completely wrong?

im not sure tbh, ive only been able to do this over the broadcast receiver for receiving sms, idk if i can get this to work with other sms apps, but if i find a way to add the other message systems that would be a good alternative.
And idk about that samsung phone thing, i thought that could only be done for the stock roms, this app here ive only really tested on Unjustified dev''s domination and PAC roms cause those are my daily drivers, but that would be a good thing to try if i knew how to do it lol

if you wait a bit im about to post the version with the sdcard-wipe command ill let you know when its posted

New Version 1.1.7 now uploaded Now supports sdcard wipe via command (where (pass) = your passphrase)
[email protected](pass)
**not this cannot be undone when started it will erase all sdcard contents, and possibly internal sdcard as well since internal sdcard and external sdcard use some of the mount points deleted with this command (eg. /sdcard/)
the mount points deleted with this command are the following.. (as all i could find for android sdcard mount points were these)
/mnt/sdcard/*
/mnt/storage/sdcard0/*
/storage/sdcard0/*
/sdcard/*
/sdcard/ext-sd/*

Now uploaded Version 1.1.8 with experimental wipe Data command, it wipes data,cache,and dalvik-cache while online, then does some other things that a regular wipe would do like remove the lockscreen (by using the void of the bypass lockscreen), and does the wipe and reboots, The only bad part about it it doesnt start googles one-time init on boot that a regular wipe does, so you have to reconfigure your accounts and settings+restore your apps manually sorry,,
The command is (where (pass)= your passphrase)
[email protected](pass)
Enjoy!

Hi, this app is really awesome but what do you think about the possibility to add comand for switch on/off Data and WiFi Connection? It could be very useful, if you need to find the location of your smartphone.

ive been trying to find a good way to find the location, but so far im outta luck for that, but as of the toggles ill find a way to try and do that just give me some time and a way to do it (if possible by the methods im using).

Sorry, I have no idea how to implement it, I'm not yet starting to learn android programming. But I recommend the Data/WiFi on/off because can be a useful tool with anti-thief app.

oh dont worry, i already have code for the wifi, and experimanting with gps toggles right now,then working on the gps tracking, im trying a no-root method, ad most methods used by this app use the terminal (thus needing the root), thats why this app uses soo many root features, im making the toggles as non-root needed as i could get at the moment

I dont know if this works but how when it doesnt ask for root access? Im using MIUIv5 anyway.

That might just be a superuser request problem with miui, i cannot test on miui because my phone doesnt have that rom that im aware of, but check in the superuser app/settings and see if its there under deny, if so put for allow/grant, this app asks for superuser request everytime the app is opened so if it doesnt ask for it, try a fresh install, or check your superuser, or (as a last resort, just to test)make a backup of your phone, flash another rom thats rooted (like cyanogenmod), and test there, then restore your phone if wanted because like ive posted before i can only test on one phone so i can only tell what works/not works by my own tests and others feedback, so sorry if i cannot get this to work with miui, as i cannot test using that specific rom, sorry.
Off topic: im almost done with another build, it has toggle wifi, toggle mobile data, toggle nfc (if phone compatible), toggle gps, toggle wifi mobile hostspot, set off alarm sound, set off looping-alarm sound(currently has no shut off so a force-close or phone rebbot is needed), and experimental gps track phone (i havent fully tested it, as i cannot leave my house for enough time to set off the trigger of my phones gps, but it will turn on gps, send a sms to the phone that sent the command (as long as the command had the right pass phrase) with a link with google map coordinants of where the phones generall location is, but its only as good as the phones gps/enabled gps settings, and doesnt always give exact location, but if you recognise where its at like a freidns house is nearby, you know where to go.

SMS Task
this is brilliant, continue developing this, it has great potential. work great on my AT&T gs2 gonna test it on a galaxy exhibit 2 later

Yes, both from the phone update itself, and LG Bridge.

no update yet

turkey V10s are also getting the update already!

I hope this is coming to the US! Sitting here with my boring not updated tmobile version here! (of course I'm not really complaining since we're bootloader unlocked and rootable!)
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10

Great news! Can't wait~

Hi, I updated to MM yesterday and phone works a little bit faster, more smooth on menu or setting changes.
I dont see any UI or UX changes.
Fingerprint sensor was very laggy and hard time to read and I rescanned my fingers to get it work.
Camera software is same (overall taking good pics)
Cannot say anything about battery just updated the device
Process takes long time and first I got error via LG Bridge ( For Mac ) and then tried OTA, after 3 hours I was able to connect to OTA update center.(Dont give up trying)
Knock Code is using 6 touches at least instead of 4, this really bothered me.
If I see more then I'll keep you informed guys.

H961 here. And... nothing.

Can anyone check if the update allows you to unlock previously unlockable bootloaders now?
To do so, enable developers options and enable OEM unlock (may wipe your data)

Adb > fastboot OEM unlock >
With DM verity being enabled in 6.x.x you might (don't quote me on this) loose root if you update. Up until someone makes a rooted system.

[APP][4.0+]DroidLock: Dynamic Lockscreen & TimePin Replacement

DroidLock is a security application that sets your lock screen PIN code to the current time/date/battery resulting in an ever changing PIN that can not be shoulder surfed.
FEATURES
Time Pin
12H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0123
24H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 1323
Offset Minutes to add or subtract to the current time: Offset =10 and 12H: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0133
Custom Offset Minutes Value
Date Pin
International Format (DD/MM): PIN will be 0405 (May 4, 2016)
USA Format (MM/DD): PIN will be 0504 (May 4, 2016)
2 Digit Year (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY): PIN will be 040516 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
4 Digit Year (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY): PIN will be 04052016 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
Battery Pin
The current battery percentage is set as your password: Phone Battery %: 52, PIN will be 5252
Geek Pin (Customized Pin)
The user can choose any of the available components and form a combination and set it as the phone password. See the screenshots for examples. (PIN can be a combination of battery, hours(12H), month, minutes : 52010523)
ADD-ON TYPES
The following Add-ons to morph the PIN and to further enhance security.
Double: Doubles the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12341234
Mirror: Mirrors the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12344321
Sum: Adds the digits of the PIN. If the time is 12:34, the PIN will be 1010 as 1+2+3+4.
Reverse: Reverses the pin. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 4321
The pin then changes dynamically based on the chosen settings and options making it impossible to be predicted. Download this app to lock your phone and dance your way through piggybackers.

Q: Is Android N supported?
A: Not now, but in future with root due to changes made by Google in Device Administrator and Device Owner permissions.
Q. How do I download DroidLock?
- Join Google+ Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/115957813647662828373
- Become a Tester https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hashcode.droidlock
Q. Why should I do above process? I know how to slideload your apk
- It is nice to know that you the process of sideloading an apk. However, you won't be able to buy in-app products and get latest update by doing that and not following the procedure mentioned
Q. How do I use this app?
- Open the app, setup master pin, password retrieval method, grant all the permissions(Android M)
- Toggle the master switch and set your desired PIN type
Q. What is the use of master pin?
- It allows you to enter the app
- It allows you to unlock the device once every reboot(only for the first time)
- It allows you to unlock the device after 3+ unsuccessful attempts
- It allows you to change master pin or password retrieval method
Q. What is password retrieval method?
- In case you forgot your master pin to open the app or whatsoever, you can retrieve your master pin by answering the questions
Q. I see a white screen after completing the app setup.
- We'll fix it
Q. My master pin and my unlocking pin are not working any more to unlock my device
- Use the rescue method https://plus.google.com/101228760180981912329/posts/VCcBBRRJ76o
Q. Your rescue method is also not working and I'm root user
- Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244741
Q. Your rescue method is also not working and I'm a not a root user
- Only option is to do a factory reset or flash your firmware once again
Q. Now I hate you because of your app, I lost my data
- This app is still in beta. You are testing at your own risk. We are trying hard to support majority of the devices. We can't afford own all the devices. We have kept a donation in-app product so that we can spend some money on buying the device and physically test it.
Q. When will you release this app for all?
- Only after we feel that we have supported most of the devices.
Q. How can I help you as a beta tester?
- Use the app for few days and share your experience along with your device name, android version, Stock ROM or custom ROM.
Q. Can I deny the permissions that I granted to the app?
- Why to fall into problem?
Q. What happens if I disable master toggle?
- Just don't do that
- It won't reactivate your old lockscreen style
Q. Does your app drains the battery as it stays in the background?
- Hardly 1%
Q. I want to report some bug or issue.
- Post it here
- A supporting video(at least 720p) would be much helpful so that we can virtually look what's happening
Q. How do I uninstall this app?
- Go to Security - >Device Admin Rights - > Uncheck DroidLock
- Read the message it shows!
- Now you can uninstall or clear data of the app
Q. I want to translate this app.
- We'll let you know about it.
- But let us know if you are interested.
Q. What will I get by testing your app?
- Dynamic PINs which no one can predict
Q. A persistent notification about your app stays and I want to disable it.
- Don't disable it as it is in testing phase. We'll provide some solution to it later on
Q. I uninstalled your app, but my lockscreen type is still PIN style.
- The unlocking PIN will be your master PIN
- You need to physically change it from your settings
Q. Is smartlock working?
- Only one the user says yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66788380&postcount=70
Q. I have a Huawei device
- Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66757123&postcount=58
Q. I want to know how many times your(Havan Somaiya) device was locked up?
- To be specific, it was 3 times. But I was lucky enough to break the PIN by guesswork. I managed to recollect the last successful PIN I used when master pin was not working.
- Rescue Mode was not deployed during those development days.
Q. I'm locked up and I know what is adb and it is configured with my system
- Adb shows your current unlocking pin
Search for "Op:" in the adb logs
Q. I'm tired of reading all these questions.
- Thanks for reading and I'm thankful to you for testing DroidLock for your device
Q: How can I uninstall this app?
A: Go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and disable DroidLock. You can now uninstall DroidLock normally.
Q: How to dismiss the persistent notification in the status bar?
A:The notification is necessary to ensure DroidLock isn't killed by the system or cleaning apps like Clean Master. For now don't disable the notifications by going to App Info. Reason: On 3 wrong password attempts it will send a notification that 'Pin reset to master Pin'
Q: Locked out of the device and forgot the time/date/battery options selected?
A: Restart the device and enter master pin.
Q: Does the master PIN stays the unlock password even after 1st Unlock?
A: In some devices like Sony Xperia, it takes about 3 minutes for the app to initialize itself and set the unlock password as per the options selected.
Q: I have found a bug. How do I report?
A: Report the bug in detail along with the logs and a video to support your claim.
Q: Can I help you somehow?
A: Yes, of course!
- Read the last question about supported devices and help us know if you have a device where the app doesn't work or has some problems.
- If you could produce a video highlighting all the features of the app, we will make it our default video on play store.
Q: Which are the devices used to test during the development of this app?
A: All Stock UI devices and specific OEMs like
- Nexus Devices
- OnePlus Devices
- Motorola Devices
- Samsung Devices
- Sony Xperia Devices
- Xiaomi Devices
Please let us know if you have tried any other devices and can ensure complete functioning of this app. We'll add it in our list.

Working perfectly on Galaxy S4 running Cyanogen Mod 12.1!
Please add support for more complex passwords for master pin such as letters and symbols up to 64 characters long.
Thank you so much!!!

Would you guys want to test some experimental builds to make it compatible with Android N? If yes please PM me.

Works fine on Moto G! A really good replacement for TimePin!
Sent from my XT1033 running good ol' Stock ROM

Great idea!
Just too bad that here in Vegas at 2PM in broad daylight I can hardly see my pattern lock, never mind a keyboard with numbers etc.

App works fine. Could you make Smart Lock work with this, please? I'm using SONY Xperia Z3 (D6603) on eXistenZ v1.0.5 (Marshmallow).

Tested
Yes I have tested it and it works LIKE A BOSS!
SERIOUSLY, if I was a boss, a CEO, etc, this would top my phone off!
But alas, not yet. At least I have a super awesome app that a whole team of people were kind enough to publish! :victory:

I'm surprised though, why isn't this already followed by at least 1,000 people?
---------- Post added at 05:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------
For phones that have a proximity sensor in front, would it be possible to add to the settings of the app an additional feature whether or not the proximity sensor is covered to make it work? An additional security feature for those that want it.

Not working Fine
Its working on my samsung galaxy tab 3 smt210 (Nolekat 4.4.2)but the number 0 is not typing instead the number 1,5,7 comes randomly

Why just 1,000? We need more than that number
We'll improve DroidLock App as time goes on and try to add the feature suggested by you.
You can check our future roadmap in the OP. We cannot give you any ETAs for suggested features.
Thanks for using DroidLock App :good:

Are you on latest beta version?
Did you try clearing app's data? (First go to Settings->Security->Device Admin Rights->Uncheck DroidLock App and now clear data of the app)

Works awesome, nice job bro
Galaxy S7 edge

Downloaded but at work right now so I'll try it tonight (I can't afford to lock myself out of my device during work ). Thanks for this, I've been waiting for an app like that for a while. I'll give feedback when installed and running

Thanks for using DroidLock. Do share your experience with us so that we can understand how many devices are supported by DroidLock and how many of them are not.

Can we have an option to enter the md5# of the current time?

This is an awesome idea, and I'll be testing it on 2 devices and report back.
EDIT: Installed on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 w/stock 5.0, and it works properly. Also survives a reboot.

Testing GadgetBridge with ZeTime support

Code:
[SIZE="3"]*** Disclaimer
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.
do you think it is possible to decompile the firmware and make changes there?

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...

@smaiz
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

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!

[Hisense A5] Auto Refresh App (No Root, Test required)

Hello.
I developed an auto refresh tool app that works on Hisense A5.
In theory, it should work on all Eink panel hisense devices. However, it is currently only tested against the A5.
This app automatically refresh the screen according to the number of touches & physical key inputs.
If the screen does not refresh by pressing the "Test" button at the bottom of the app, please inform us of the model and firmware version.
When you first run the app, you must allow all the permissions that appear for it to work properly.
- Overlay Permission : Required to detect device screen touches.
- Package Usage Stat Permission : Required to detect currently running apps.
- Battery Optimization : Required to prevent apps from exiting in the background.
This app is currently under development and we will upload the source to github as soon as the code is cleaned up.
This app was built as Debug, not Release at build time. This is because I found an issue where the screen wouldn't refresh when building with release.
refreshAi_hisense_debug_v0
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
If you have a Hisense EInk device, please test this app and let me know the results. Thank you.

Great work!, maybe we'll be able to put an eink screen on another phone or use lineageos on a5c

I have an error clicking on the test button. A5 pro cc here

Sorry for the late reply. I have confirmed that additional permissions are required on Android 10 and later devices.
You must enable usb debugging. Enter the command below while connecting to the computer by adb.
adb shell settings put global hidden_api_policy 0
If there is no response in the command window, it is normal. Then reboot the device, and the refresh will function normally.

Devices from Boyue or Onyx provide an "optimize" option. However, Hisense's device does not provide optimization options, you only have to manually refresh the screen. This app automatically refreshes the entire screen every few touches on the screen.

Cool!!

@nerious2
Would it be possible to export the com.hmct.edp.edpmanager.forcespeed mdoe and all the relative features, from the chinese rom,maybe as an apk to install on another ROM?

How is the development going?
Would it be possible to share the source code? It would be great if it could be implemented into reading apps like Koreader to control the screen refresh. The only thing missing from Hisense phones for me is the possibility to set the screen to do a full page refresh on each page turn. This would solve that problem.
I tried the app on my A5 Pro following the instructions and it seems to work fine.
