[Apps] for the Sony Smartwatch MN2

Hi everyone.
To keep the Smartwatch Impressions Thread clean of bug-reports for my Apps i wanted to provide a own thread for them.
I just started developing for Android and the Sony Smartwatch because i missed so many functionality on my Smartwatch and the apps where missing in the market.
Some of them are done after people asked they want a app like that. For example the GPS Maps apps and the whatsapp notifier.
So if you miss some app for your smartwatch i might look at it to make it.
So here they are:
the Mail notifier (1.0.2.3):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.imapnotification
is using the javamail library for android. So there might be some bugs in it from me and from the library.
GPS Maps (1.0 Beta):
using OpenStreetMap: http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchMap.apk
Does show a Map on your smartwatch with your position with the GPS-Data of your Phone
Google Maps App (currently v1.0.9.1) in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
Calendar Events (1.0.0):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.calendarevents
shows the current/future event of your default calendar and you can swipe to the left/right to see the next or previous Event with time and description.
WhatsApp notifier (2.1 Beta):
http://bytewiese.de/fileadmin/_media/dl/smartwatch/SmartwatchWhatsappNotifier21.apk
shows a notification from the WhatsApp application when it is installed and running with notifications enabled. (still buggy as it looks.)
Calculator (1.0.0.4):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.quickcalc.
Calculator for the smartwatch.
Thanks for all your reportings and ideas and i hope we can continue in this thread.

Great
Kudos for the thread
will continue to support ur app and report my findings
Sorry to trouble u again but could you fixed the Call log Smart Extras™ since it doesnt support ICS thanks again
TIPS: Whatsapp notifier
- If stop giving notification please disable & enable it back on the phone, also opening the app on the phone trough the watch might prevent it to notify again.
Disable & enable it back again

Thanks for your hard work!
Regarding the mail app, the "action toast button" doesn't do anything.
Also if i put my phone in airplane mode at night i get a flood of "failed to connect to server" messages. Would be sweet just to have one error which clears after the connection returns if possible.
Whatsapp notifier, don't use the open on phone option for now as it will stop alerting on new messages.
Seems as though something else stops it notifying time to time but don't know what triggers it. Disabling and enabling app fixes it.
If received two messages and both have been unread, will show an alert saying "2 new messages"rather than the actual messages. Customnotifier does the same thing so there may not be a workaround.
I'm here to continue testing at your will. Your apps will be great to end up on the market.
Cheers

hahaha my bad ... didnt read it trough ... but if got for smartwatch is ok oso

can you please make an alarm clock app? [=

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but has anyone tried how well the old OpenWatch app fares with the new SmartWatch?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nwatch&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
It’s the app I used to use to sync with my outstanding MBW-150. It would capture all notifications brilliantly, maybe the code is re-usable.
Just thinking out loud… thanks and regards

Second that

The GPS google map size
Good morning beowulf, thanks again for the multitude of apps, one question, the GPS google map seems too enlarged on my smartwatch to the point that i almost cannot see the blue triangle which i assume is my location, is there a way to zoom out? thanks

The light version works with the smartwatch as well. I use it all the time. Really slick.

Hi beowulf,
The gps maps app does not work on my sgs2. It only shows a white screen. I only saw the map once for a short moment.

Hi. The loading sometimes takes a bit long.
But you can try the new version of it which will hopefully soon be available from the google market.
It is uploaded and published so look out for it. But i will hint to it as soon as i see it in the market. (I hope i am allowed to post links to my apps in the market)
It will have some new features you will hopefully like.
(You will need to remove the old version manually though)
//edit: ok. Finaly my first app in the android market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bytewiese.liveware.extension.gpsmap
I think i already found a bug though. It seems as soon as the app is closed and reopened on the watch that there is stil a old picture flickering. Will look at this. I would be happy if you continue to test and report bugs and ideas.

Just downloaded it from the Play Store!
Still not working though. Even the gps does not stop after closing the app.

Congratulations Beowulf6!
Thank you very much for your work.

hi Wop2k,
yes. was the same cause of my problem with the flashing screen.
i hope i finaly fixed it. I already updated the app in the market and i hope it works now for you now without a white screen.
if it is still not working i would like to know your android version.
Thanks.

[APP]VIRGINMOBILE : MINUTES CHECKER apk FIXED

I Fixed this app because Jay Goel did not ! It is for all of us Virgin Mobile Users who like to keep tabs on the minutes used . Due to recent Changes by Virgin Mobile the app on the marketplace stopped working so i edited it with the proper log in information(changed www1 to www2 and it works perfectly again ! Pretty good for a person with little coding experience. I used apktool and then signed the compiled app . here it is and give me a thanks if you use it . Uninstall the broke one first !
I emailed Jay Goel several times but he did not respond or update his app so i did because i needed it .The only change i made was replaced WWW1 with WWW2 in WebsiteScraper.java then recompiled it with the easy instructions of apktool then used signapk and WALA ! Works 100% and i love to see mins used in a widget . Multiple account log ins all fixed by me .feb 20 2013
PLEASE UNINSTALL THE OLD VERSION BEFORE INSTALLING THE FIXED APK HERE. THANKS

Thanks so much! I was planning on doing just that when I got the time. I'm glad I procrastinated and let you do the heavy lifting.
The app doesn't seem to be reading the "Charged on" fields correctly. Any change you could mess around with that?

Thanks a ton!

My charged on field is showing the correct data. I have several accounts all on different days and it displays for example Charged on: Th/A/04
Set indicates Thursday, the 4th and on Automatic debit for next month April. A
Hope that helps..

Thanks for the reply. If you look at the pics on the play store, it looks like it should just be the date in mm/dd/yy format. I think it uses that to calculate how fast you are burning minutes and changes the color of the widget appropriately. It also uses that to make the black circle bar on the widget that represents the progress through the month.
These features aren't critical, so if you don't have the time to work on it, it's understandable. You have done us a great service fixing this app already!

Hi. No yes that was changed by another contributing developer. I like it this way it is as all the info in pie graphs plus widget s are accurate. I will update it again when the time comes it stops working again.. Enjoy
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium

Amazing! I hinted my review over at the play store for folks to google for this
My charged on date isn't showing up either but that happened before even in the older versions. I actually wish someone could fork the project and add higher res widgets and implement the new code from the VM account that tracks the data limit usage. I know there are apps or ICS and up can track data usage but it's not accurate. With the new forked app you'd know exactly were you are in terms of data usage as VM sees it.
Happy to have this back though! :highfive:

Seems like "Virgin Mobile Minute Checker" author has not updated the app for a while. I contacted him with no success. Surprisingly, Virgin Mobile themselves also does not offer any app.
Ultimately, I have started working on my own version. It is in google's play store under name "Virgin Mobile Minutes" (it has "V" and "m" letters in logo). It is free for everyone to enjoy. It is missing a widget for now - I will add it soon.
I apoligize if that sounded like I am trying to advertise myself

Thanks for the fix. The old app stopped working a couple weeks ago when Virgin Mobile moved my account to their new system, and this update mostly works.
With this new version, my "Charged On:" field is blank, so the app doesn't know when my month starts/ends, and therefore, the green "days remaining" circle in the graphic and widget are missing: The graphics only show the red Minutes Used pie.
Please let me know if you need any additional info from me to help fix this issue (if you have time to fix it).
PS: I couldn't install this fixed version (it kept failing) until I uninstalled the old version.
PPS: I'm running CM7 on a Triumph, and plan to try Paranoid Android ICS in the near future.

Nice job. Just loaded it on my phone. The only think missing from me making this my primary app is that I can't monitor 2 or more (in my case, just 2) accounts. But, for now I'll just leave this set up to watch the other phone's usage while I use other apps to monitor my minutes.

multiple accounts

I saw that in the original app but I did not realize that there were actually people who would monitor multiple accounts. Guess I was wrong. You are the first one you brought it up. I will put it on my TODO list. Be patient

I monitor two account fine with it. Mine and my daughters. We both have different due dates and that works also here is a screen shot.. Uploading now

Notice due dates do work for both for next billing. I am on auto pay so J for June and day we are due. This is a great app. Also shows two different wegdits pie graphs and transparent min used. Also shows min used during and after a call on dialer screen.

Do you still experience the issue? If so, please email (email should be available on google's play market) me and I can solve that.

The app was fixed as all can see the Charged on field is active using the file posted.
The app in the market itself is dead and outdated so I posted the patched file which works now including multiple accounts. I am also curious is the fellow with the charged on filed was resolved by my fix...

Just asking
Would I be able to include a non ad supported version for our ROM?

I added monitoring multiple accounts from inside the app and also you can assign a widget to specific account (if you have more than one account registered). See if you like it.
BTW, if you have any comments please email me directly since I do not visit forums that often.

[Q] new apps on gear app store

Hi,
Recently, I start to receive very few new apps each and every day. Previously I was seeing several apps per day now 1-2.
I would like to make sure that it is not a specific problem to me.
For example, today only one app is added . It's name is Crystallite. Can anyone confirm ?
In addition to this, yesterday my app named "Ultimate Info Watch" was approved. But I still can't see it on store. Is there anyone here who is able to reach my app ?
Thanks.

I see crystallite and gear alarm. I don't see yours though.. Hope that helps

I just bought my gear 2 and I'am loving it, but Tizen will certainly have the same fait as Bada! Samsung kills t! It is not interesting for developers! We have just a few apps and a thousand of watches! We have just one custon rom!
Every day we see less and less apps on samsung store!It is sad!
I will keep my gear 2, but I think that in less than 2 year it wont even be able to concect to a phone anymore. Samsung will give up on Tizen and the future android plataforms wont provide support.
Tizen has so mutch potential... I think it is better than android wear, but his dead is certainly...
Probbly will buy a lg watch r and keep the gear 2

thank you. that really helps.
I see exactly as you see.
But then where is my app ?
hmmm.

I don't see your app either. Maybe it takes 24hrs to get uploaded and the servers refreshed?
Did you get a link to your app in the approval email? Maybe you filled out something improperly. You did post a question in the general section of this forum.

they don't provide a link in the approval email. I'm sure I didn't fill out anything improperly. And yes, I posted this in the general section because it is some kind of "out of scope" discussion. Maybe I shouldn't have marked it as a question.

Probably you have the same problem as me. One of my apps was approved a few days ago. Standalone app for gear 2 and gear s. In the update I selected all possible devices, can't remember hie many, but somewhere between 60 and 100. App was approved without comment. I didn't see it anymore in the app store. In the seller store I can see that it is only available 8 (eight!) devices. This is clearly a Samsung error, because when a standalone app works on a gear 2, works on the gear 2 independent the related phone. I sent Samsung a message yesterday, now waiting if they are going to solve this.

I did see your app a couple of days ago. I didn't like it because of the font type and the black clock and font.
I like the dark themes, because AMOLED will use less battery then.

Yeah, i'm getting tired of having to pay for every single app.
Don't read me wrong, i want to pay for good apps. But most of the apps are real crap. But you find this out after paying.
For this app, i'm waiting for another watchface i really want. (Watcher). The upcoming update have hourly weather and appointments in one.

Thanks for your reply. Actually on the registration process I did only select resolutions supported. There was not a place to select devices as far as I remember. Are you sure that there is a device selection as well ?
On which screen can I see which devices are selected for my app ?
I will also write to Samsung if I find similar issue. But first I must find the problem.
Thx.

Thanks for your feedback. I will create a version with better clock and font if you have any suggestions for the font face and/or clock. But I would like to keep the analog clock simple in this one, because the aim is to supply information. So, I am waiting for suggestions...

the app uses the default background you select in background settings. Actually, I made a demo version to make trial available. But the approval process takes too long. So, if you want to try before purchase, please wait a cople of weeks.
Thanks for the feedback any way.

@mrmrmrmr Check in the seller site your app, by clicking on the link "For Sale" of your app. Then go to binary and you see the device count. You can click on the symbol left to the count, then you can see the list of devices for which your app is available.
When updating you can select the binary tab and click the advanced button. You will then get access to the device selection options. Automatically all recommended devices should be selected. Let me know if all devices are available for your app or only a few. Samsung said to me that it was my error and that I had to submit the update again with the full selection of devices. But I'm sure that I did this, so I think they made an error during the certification process. I did a new update, selected all devices and have to wait for another week to see if it will be ok now. It is such a slow process with Samsung, I really prefer android apps on Google, much easier to change/update apps.

thanks. I see 43 devices there. My device is Galaxy S5 , but in the list of 43, I only see: Galaxy S5 광대역 LTE-A -
that is really weird.
Maybe we are all missing lots of apps for just that reason.

Try to do an update, check the list of recommended devices and see if you can select more than the current selection of 43. You don't have to change anything in the update, you can just leave the binary and description unchanged. You can change the device selection, country selection and fill in a certification comment explaining the content of the update and then submit. Good luck.

thanks. Now I selected 68 devices and resent to certification. But I forgot to tell them about the content of the update.
Now I will wait for at least one more week because of their error.
too bad...

Please report this to Samsung. In the seller site you have the possibility to ask questions or report issues. They should know that something goes wrong in their certification process. Thx.

I asked it as a question. But this seems to be a generic problem and I am afraid that most of us are missing lots of apps with similar problems. For example, I am using Galaxy S5 as a phone and maybe I am missing lots of available apps. And S5 is an important/commony used phone. Am I wrong ?

[WIP][FREE][ROOT]WhatsGear. Whatsapp from your wrist.

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].

REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.

Hi friend... Did everything, but don't know how your app works... I can't see it installed on my smart watch... It just install on the phone?

Upsss... sorry, I uploaded a wrong apk. This one should be installing the gear side app.
Could you check it please?
Thanks.

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Does it work with gear 2 neo?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

Sure, Im testing it on a neo

Does the watch have to be rooted? Because it doesn't work with my note 3... I cannot install the apk.

Well... no idea whats going on.
Can you try sideloading the watch app directly from your pc and tell me if it gets installed or the command output if it fails?
PS: I just installed it on a note 3 paired with a gear 2 neo using Samsung's Remote Test Lab without problems.

Thank you! I'll try later.
But where can I find the Samsung remote test Lab?

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/

[Q] Xperia E3 Stock Facebook Apk.

Hello xda community,
I am considering your help regarding FB app on Xperia E3.
Until yesterday, the Facebook app that I had on my phone was the one preinstalled, that came with the phone itself. That version was the one I used until now. Yesterday, the app told me about a update, promising me that "is the fastest". But the design itself changed a lot. Nevertheless, for example, I cannot longer swipe from the left to the right for viewing newsfeed, groups, etc; all these features being available in the right side of the screen.
My question is if someone can give me a link to the original Xperia E3 Facebook apk.?
I tried downloading old versions, backdated to september 2014, but the design it the same!
I hope you understand my problem and I kindly wait for your answer!
All the best.
