Mine arrived yesterday but haven't had time to play with it until today.

Rooted using the Gandalf method in Framaroot.

Got GAPPS on there and everything seems fine apart from the Twitter app crashes - anyone seen this and/or have a fix?

Got to say that the screen is pretty horrid and the cameras are garbage - that and there's no way on earth I'd wear this - it's stupidly huge and I ain't no small fry!

First time in ages that I've played with Jelly Bean; shame it's not a more recent ROM.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Why is the screen horrid?
[Other SmartWatches] shivam89:
Twitter works fine with me (official app), I'd bet my wrist is even smaller :P (I'm 15, thin and average (170cm) height) it looks big, but for the functionality it's big enough (imo)

The resolution is 320x240 and you can barely see the time in sunlight.

[MENTION=1258762]bedwa[/MENTION] how is the recovery image going?
[Other SmartWatches] BPM:
first problems witzh my neptune:

1.

many widgets are not shown in the widget list.

i installed aqua mail and beautiful widgets but can not find them in the widget list

2.

poor bluetooth connection. my headset disconnects if its 60cm away.

3.

bluetooth really drain the battery very fast. if i connect my headset (not using it active) the battery drains about 25% in 3h

4.

runtastic: it is not possible to login because the login-button is outside of the display
[Other SmartWatches] ShawnnKushh:
1. I'm not sure what runtastic is but u could try running the app in portrait mode and see if it works a little different.

2.have u tried an alternative launcher? I use apex and I can see all the widgets.

And I really disagree as far as the Bluetooth goes. I get about 10 hrs of solid streaming Google play all access over Bluetooth . And I can get up to probably 50 ft. Of range.
[Other SmartWatches] BPM:
i tried with stock launcher and TSF-shell. but i can not see all widgets.

i am not able to rotate the screen in runtastic. seems that the app did not support screen rotation.

it is really strange that you do not have issuse with bluetooth and battery life. perhaps a hardware problem with my device?
[Other SmartWatches] Tyler11223344:
Hey, new poster to the site (I've used the site as a lurker for forever, its the most useful android resource ever), and I got my watch a little over a month ago I believe (forgot the exact date), but I accidentally software-bricked my device the first day (I know, facepalm) without making a backup of the ROM or anything (I know, facedesk), and I was actually able to get in touch with their support, who redirected me to their head engineer, and he was able to get me the stock ROM zip through dropbox, which I made sure to hold onto VERY tightly. So I just thought I'd put this out there, in case anyone wants it to modify or in case they accidentally screw theirs up without a backup too, you can message me/reply/whatever for it. It may be totally useless, but it saved me so I figured I'd just post this here anyways.

Edit: Here's a Dropbox link: https:// www dropbox com/s/i1qbkdqja6mu1wo/update%281%29.zip?dl=0
[Other SmartWatches] RudeReality:
You should post that up on NeptuneNinja, I'm sure many people would be happy to have that resource there, myself included. That's just a basic resource we should have as a default, methinks. Failing that, post it up here. A library of default programs is something the Pine community needs not only for the modding community, but for those that make the same mistake you did.
[Other SmartWatches] emoore625:
It looks somewhat ridiculous as a watch but I'm thinking about the Pine just to have a much smaller phone. I would probably carry it like a pager (remember those?). While the Pine is too big for the wrist it's a much better size to carry in a pocket as opposed to the 4.7" and higher smartphones out there.
[Other SmartWatches] ShawnnKushh:
I'd like that link

I'd like a link to that file asap. I believe that could be the first step for our new little device

[Other SmartWatches] BPM:
would anybody be so kind and test this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futonredemption.jasper.btoncall&hl=de

if i get a call, bluetooth gets activated, but when it connects to my headset the pine reboots.
[Other SmartWatches] shivam89:
*downloading now* I checked the file size of your zip file and tried to match with mine but, for some reason mine is 10MB larger (I got one along on my cache partition)

[Other SmartWatches] seth50k:
[MENTION=1258762]bedwa[/MENTION] is still trying to get Custom Recovery working first. Without recovery, nothing else can really happen in the kernel or ROM sense. Unfortunately I just haven't seen the Pine get into many developer's hands other than him.
[Other SmartWatches] monx®:
somebody pls share boot & system partitions dump.
[Other SmartWatches] Tyler11223344:
Sorry about not replying

Sorry about the extreme lateness, my first year at University so I've been pretty busy and all.

But you can access recovery like most other android devices by holding power and volume down(? Up maybe? I forgot, but its one of those) while its off, and keep holding until it boots into recovery. Then I used adb to sideload the zip to the device and install it. That worked for me, I don't think there were any other steps involved, but I can't really remember very well as it was months ago. If anyone can't get it to work like that let me know with a reply and I'll try to check my email more frequently for reply notifications.

hope there will come a custom ROM with OTG support soon. this is the only feature i am really missing on this device. i really love my pine (my TS sucks)
[Other SmartWatches] joshoon:

[Other SmartWatches] bedwa:
Question, Monx, do you have a github with TWRP uploaded to it? I want to figure out what I was doing wrong on my attempted build of clockwork.

Congrats btw and thank you for accomplishing what I was having issues with. :)
[Other SmartWatches] RudeReality:
Brilliant work on accessing recovery! Looking very forward to getting an update to the android OS. Excellent to see that progress is being made by the user community for our little device. The amount of resource material submitted by the community is fantastic and much needed. Keep up the good work!
[Other SmartWatches] kuronosan:
Monxdified TWRP? Are you serious?
[Other SmartWatches] monx®:

[Other SmartWatches] bedwa:
Monx, have you found a buildable kernel source as of yet? I'm having the hardest time finding something that will let me both build and will work when installed.

Thought I would ask since you're here. :)
[Other SmartWatches] theoppositeman:
Seth/Monx,

can we root in twrp? just flash superuser from twrp like any other devices?

sorry if this is a silly q.

Anyway, clap to both Set and Monx and not forgetting Bedwa......for all this happenings......:good::highfive:

Sorry, forgot to include key. too sleepy last nite :p

im afraid may cause system performance?

maybe can use system option in app setting?

[Other SmartWatches] seth50k:
I think the system setting is ignored, which is why we do the sdswap. Otherwise the SD can't be utilized for much of anything.
[Other SmartWatches] monx®:
app to sd works. but ofcos for certain apps which support it. i just afraid it may affect apps/system performance. maybe we can leave the merge mod optional?

■ sent frm mobile
[Other SmartWatches] Nickoz:
Yes, it would be best to leave it out, maybe make it a separate flashable. SD mods are not usually integrated in ROMs, the external SD write speed is pretty slow on Pine. It's a good option to have, and it seems very stable on Pine, but we probably shouldn't force it on people that don't need it.
[Other SmartWatches] seth50k:
That's fine, makes sense to keep it separate.
[Other SmartWatches] kylemaguire:
ugh chrome said that "this file could cause harm to your browsing experience." or something like that. Any reason why that might happen? Ive downloaded it through IE so im good now.

[Other SmartWatches] seth50k:
A particular thing that is missing from the stock ROM is the ability to turn accessibility services ON. Some apps install a service, but when you to into that service, there's no on/off switch.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

They were supposed to be. Basically HzO couldn't manage to do it without messing up a ton of Pines, so eventually Neptune just told them to quit because the fallout was too high.

Liquipel is an option, one of the chat page folks sent his to liquipel.

I've noticed anytime in TWRP when I ask it to Reboot, it hangs. Anyone else seeing this? I can force reboot by holding power, of course.

Minuum Keyboard Free

Dear All Pine Lovers!

Got my Pine just a few days ago and everything works Okay

including the Google play store and Google apps thanks to

Neptune Ninja's wonderful and simple guide [no rooting required!]:

http://neptuneninja.com/google-play-services-sideload-without-root/

Thanks Neptune Ninja!

Had some issues with the touch keyboards as most of them

take over most of the pine's screen, so i searched for a minimum keyboard and found the following:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whirlscape.minuumfree

It's ideal for the pine and other smart watches as it condenses the qwerty keyboard to the bottom of the screen,

uses the really easy touch-slide technique of the flit keyboard without taking so much screen space

and it even comes with an optional A to Z keyboard layout which is far easier than qwerty! [at least for me!]

My recommendation is to learn it's gestures so that you will be able to disable the space bar

for even more keyboard free screen space.

The inventors had a successful indiegogo campaign raising ~$87'000 out of $10'000 requested:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-minuum-keyboard-project

See it in action:

http://minuum.com/

Add your suggestions:

http://support.minuum.com/forums/210127-minuum-support/category/67792-suggestions

The only thing is that it's free for 30 days but after using it for a few days,

i bought it for the price of a cup of coffee at ~$4.

I think it's far more useful than a cup of coffee.

I've tried flashing the recovery posted by monx but it does not seem to work. At least the v03 version.

After flashing the following is observed

Device in power off state -> [vol+] [vol-] and [power] held -> release when logo visible -> blinks blue -> boots normally

Device in power off state -> [vol+] held and usb connected -> boots in to original recovery

Device in power off state -> [vol-] held and usb connected -> able to list device with fastboot devices

Thoughts?
[Other SmartWatches] ffinder:
Was using flit keyboard for more than a year with other smartwatches

but compared with minuum keyboard, flit's keyboard takes too much screen space.

Minuum's keyboard uses far less screen space especially if you disable it's spacebar

and use a gesture for the spacebar.

ff
[Other SmartWatches] monx®:
seems like the recovery is not flashed correctly.

agreed with spacing but miniuum has limited language support. ive been using flit since i had omate ts. now with bigger neptune, its a bonus space. set flit 1st layout to small qwerty, 2nd small number & hide hint line. typing with freedom :D btw its just my personal opinion [emoji14]
