Hi guys, is there any news regarding this issue. I just dropped here to check can I upgrade my wife's ZR or not. Her phone is on 4.4.4 stock. I have seen 5.0 and 5.1.1 roms for dogo. Does the 2nd mic working on recent custom roms?

And anyway how is lollipop on dogo (I am interested in both custom and stock) ? Is it worth to upgrade or not?

Sorry for the last offtopic question ;)
[Sony Xperia ZR] nostupidthing:
custom lollipop aka cm12.1 is fine on dogo, except the 2nd mic.

anyhow, i would suggest you stay on stock though. the interface should be more familiar to your wife.
[Sony Xperia ZR] highevolutionary:
Thank you for this info. This is my first time rooting a phone. I wanted to try CM12.1. All the files were downloaded, research was done and just when i am about to do it this pops-up. Looks like I have to wait.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] derLoki:
Hello,

so I was wondering if it is possible to program for SWR10 and asked Sony Support. There is no public API. Too bad.

Well, it's a device, so it's hackable. But at this point I have no idea where to start. So I was wondering, how does it work with my Xperia Z2.

There are 2 main apps if you are using the SmartBand. The SmartConnect app, which is the main connecting app for all accessories, as well as the SmartBand app, which is not listed in the normal Android app menu as well as not executable. Though you can get into the SmartBand app properties via the SmartConnect app.

Because the SmartConnect app is the main connecting app not only for Xperia Z2 but other Sony Smartphones, and Sony can't assume every customer will buy a SmartBand i don't think any SmartBand specific code is used in this app. I think, the SmartBand app itself can be described as a driver app, kind of. So all communication etc is done with this app.

With this information, or theory, I decompiled the app. I used a backup of the apk, dex2jar and jdgui to take a look at the source code.

Well at this point I was surprised. It's a lot of source code but with the current version of the app (1.4.0.392) the source code is not obfuscated.

It's a lot to read, but thanks to Sony the class names and variable names help a lot.

At this point you can take a look at the source code, but not at the app itself, as many resource files are missing. But there is a nice application (yes, application, this kind of .exe thing that runs on your computer) of Sony called the APKAnalyser

I haven't really used it much and just configured everything to default (Android SDK, no custom one) and was able to take a look at a lot of resource files. I think, if I scan the app for Sony SDKs it is also possible to get to know which available SDKs Sony uses for the SmartBand.

I just started analysing everything, but wanted to share it, if there is any interested person. Maybe someone of you is currently working on a similar project? Or someone worked on a similar project?

Also, I am not sure if what I have done could be used in any kind for programming the SmartBand or hacking it later. I am new to this, so I have no idea :D

If someone explains to me, why what I am doing is bull****, I know that I have to rethink everything.

My idea would be the following (at first):

If I could manipulate the "driver app" or use my own, I could add custom properties to define the number of vibrations for specific app notifications and could add other custom functionality.

Also, what kind of legal limbo am I doing right now? :confused:

Cheers

PS. Links and Pictures will be added as soon as I am allowed to post outsite links :cool:
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] KyleSforza:
I think I've read somewhere that Sony had released the sources for SWR10 for devs. o.O On XperiaBlog I think.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] derLoki:
I searched for it but didn't find it. Do you have a link?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I already disassembled the SWR10 app and there is not much to tweak unless you touch the firmware.bin that flashes the SmartBand. And to be honest I found the app to work quite good without any need for tweaking.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] albinohawk:
I had a look for the link mentioned by KyleSforza, but couldn't find it.

I'm interested in this - it would be great to be able to control via Tasker or similar.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Casey Rain:
It would be good to cook up some IFTTT recipes for the Smartband, like people do with the Jawbone devices.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] albinohawk:
SmartBand Notifications App

I hacked together an app to control the SmartBand's vibrations.

Its a Tasker plugin which can be set to output a series of notifications with a defined interval between them. The app can be then selected in the SmartBand Notifications configuration so the notifications cause a vibration.

An infinite number of notifications can be generated and notifications can also be cancelled at any point.

Consider this alpha code..

The code is based on the Locale demo plugin so probably would work with anything that can load Locale plugins. Not tested in anything other than Tasker though.

The APK is here (replace the xx - can't post links yet):

hxxps://github.com/markchalloner/smartbandnotifications/raw/master/bin/SmartBandNotifications.apk

The code is here (needs a bit of cleanup)

hxxps://github.com/markchalloner/smartbandnotifications

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] ahvipardik:
I wonder if it would be possible to make an app that only let's unlock the phone when smartband is connected. If the band is disconnected regular pattern or pin should be inserted to unlock.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
That's a good idea. I think there are apps already that lock the device if a bluetooth device is disconnected.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] 3f1f37:
Was wondering if there was any development that could extend the functionality of this device beyond what Sony has intended for it to do....

Maybe the Xposed community will pick up the device and we could get some new crazy features, this is XDA and anything goes.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] cerebuspie:
There are some apps that allow this ( pebble locker ) but it does not work for BLE devices like the smartband
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] skyes113:
Just an idea which I haven't tried it myself. Since a notification will be generated whenever smartband connect or disconnect, maybe you can use tasker with profile on notification. So when you get notification with smartband connected, you disable keyguard in task. Likewise for disconnected notification, you enable the keyguard.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] ahvipardik:
Or we can just wait for Android 5 which has the functionality built in.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Sichroteph:
I made it with Tasker, I will eventually make a thread with my findings. Root is required, it seems reliable. (I use secure settings for pattern lock switch)

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Sichroteph:
I just saw that Sony left the nfc chip inside the smartband editable.

For example, with a nfc editor app (I use NFC tools) I launch a Tasker menu when my phone touch the smartband to let me choose some actions as launching the alarm, smartalarm or lifelog. The only limit is our imagination.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] f2:
I would love to have the possibility to turn pages within the Kindle app with a tap on the Smartband. Does anyone know if and how this could be achieved?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Sichroteph:
It is tricky.

Maybe with the Sony remote media app, and binding the media key received (pause, track forward and track backward) to specific action.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] maxld:
Strange. Mine isnt writable.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Sichroteph:
Strange indeed. Did you tried NFC tools?

You can erase the chip and add another action on top of if.

I want to control more than the default apps of Sony with smartband, like open Google Now.

I'll use any app control, like audio recording, intercept the intent and redirect to intent I want (ex. Open Google Now)

Anyone is doing anything similar?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] mike_spiky:
Hey, I can't make it work. Can you guide me through tasker, please? I managed to make other tasks in tasker, but I can't trigger any notifications for the smartband (for example when I receive a sms).

Thanx.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Sichroteph:
Here is what I did : Create a simple task that make a notification. You can add a wait and a notify cancel behind it so it doesn't stay in the status bar.

Now export the task as an app and add it to the smartband app do it will vibrate each time you launch it.

Now every application that will launch this app (Tasker, iffft etc...) will make the smartband vibrate.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] mike_spiky:
This is an awesome ideea and it worked. Thanx!

Is it possible to trigger the Google now voice by tappong or pressing the button on the smartband?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] AxelTB:
You can simply set smartband application to None and intercepr with Tasker the notification with text "Application Mode".

To launch the voice search on tasker add an action "Launch App" then long press on "Googl" and select "VoiceSearchActivity".

Hope this may help.

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] sfex3best:
Tried doing this but kinda confused by the instructions. I understand the lauch app and clicking voice search activity.

But the beginning confused me and I've no idea what to do lol.

Could you explain it in a little bit more detail in kinda a noob sorry.

edit: Well I figured out how to turn the life bookmarker (double hit sidebutton) to launch Google voice.

But getting application mode to launch gvoice didn't work. The tapping really sucks on the smartband . I preess the side button then tap 50 million times and all it does is stay on day mode.

Also is it possible to get gvoice to launch straight from a display off screen. I have no lockscreen aswell.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Trespassing:
I've another question concerning NFC of Smartband... Mine is read only, too.

Might it be possible to copy all those relevant information onto another NFC-Tag? I ask because sometimes Smartband requires reconnecting via NFC without any reason. Taking it out of the wrist could become unnecessary with external Tag full of Smartband's info. Has anyone tried?

Just use NFC LockscreenOff Enabler and tell this module Smartband NFC is safe. So you can unlock phone by tapping phone on Smartband. Works very well for me. Also works if regular Lockscreen is used with password.

ah too bad

A bit annoying to do in my opinion. I'm using Tasker and autonotification, works very well.

Maybe it should work with Trigger free version, too. It's able to disable Lockscreen while connected to specific WiFi or BT and activate Lockscreen when ending this connection.

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Goondoo:
Dear all,

I own the Z2 (unrooted) and Smartband. I do not use the Lifelog, but I am wearing the smartband most of the time using it as a notifier as I turn off both the sound and vibration alert on my phone.

I have been "googling" how I can use the "taps" to activate other applications other than the defaults.

Recently I installed running tracking apps (Runkeeper, Runtastic etc) on the Z2. I want to,

1) Set it into "Sports Mode" instead of "Night mode" - Meaning switching the default "taps" to activate/deactivate a function in an app instead of on/off music. The notifications options remains unchanged from "Day mode". (Note: not opening or closing an app, but to activate the "Run" function in the app).

This is because the phone is usually in the waist pouch and such controls would be extremely convenient and useful.

2) When set to "Day mode" it will go back to normal (default).

I seek to confirm if the Apps (Tasker etc) mentioned previously is able to achieve what I desire.

Your sound advice would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I do not have dev, programming background.

Regards,

Billy

I tried doing that but the only problem that i face is each time i unlock using the smartband, it unlocks the phone and launches the lifelog app. is it that same for you or have you figured out a workaround for this?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Trespassing:
It's the same here... I think the problem is that launch of Lifelog is the usual use nfc tapping in this case.

problem with connect

Good morning, I'm new in this forum, I have a problem with the connection of smartband.

is recognized in nfc, and also in bluetooth ... but it does not create any profile ... I state that all app requests are installate..ma do not see it in smart connect ....

I was wondering if the app you have generated can solve this problem

or if you know an alternative ...

I own a k8 komu Android 4.4.2 nfc bluetooth 4.0 low energy ...
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I was just talking about disassembling the official app. You can get it at the Play Store.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] tobiailprimo:
I understand, but with all the different app you mentioned you did not find alternatives?

or from the official, as amended from you, you can not 'change the recognition?

or force the creation of a profile to manage it?

the app smrtband I notice is when I use an other app to track the nfc that interferes with this, and I unplug the smartband..e me icon will appear in the notifications smartband disconnected ...
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I did not not use any other app. I use the stock SWR10 app from the Play Store. You might misunderstood my post.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] tobiailprimo:
but the app has been changed unless I misunderstood .....

wondering if the various changes you could do something for my problem with smart connect ...
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
No, I could not. If you're having a problem with your accessory, contact Sony Mobile.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] du_91:
If it could work that way then it would be great but i think its the phone itself that executes the code from nfc of smartband and not the app. Is there a way via tasker where one can disable the app from running via nfc?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Trespassing:
I also think that phone starts lifelog. But my intention was just to read the code on nfc without executing it. When reading tags for getting their information (Tag reader) the tags won't be executed, too.

Maybe you can help me. I own a Sony smartband and an xperia z2. I had a fitbit flex before (my ex bf threw it away -_-) and I used to track my weight with the fitbit app. I know there is lifelog, but I can't track my weight with it, which is kinda necessary for me.

From the fitbit app I could also shovel all information over to another app called myfitnesspal. Myfitnesspal is now even able to connect with the fitbit flex, but not with a Sony smartband.

To make things Short: I need an app, which tracks the steps I walked with the smartband AND my weight, I know I could manually transfer these informations to myfitnesspal, but that's not what I bought this gadget for D:

Is there maybe any way to extract these informations from the lifelog app or, you know, maybe any way to connect the smartband to another app that tracks my steps?

Hopefully it's not too confusing. Greetings

No app different to Lifelog can do any actions with Smartband. There's no API.

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] nobo2k:
Well at least they are opening up the lifelog api, so information from the lifelog app/eco system is available to 3rd parties.

But what does not change is, that the wristband api will be opened up. So it stays the same, no 3rd party software can directly communicate with the wristband.

Kind of sad news - since I was curious what that gadget can be used for (got one really cheap these days). Maybe would have been better to get the xiaomi mi band instead - at least there is development on it and I have the feeling that the chinese are really into hacking things

Edit:

What I would really like to build are reminders based on inactivity. Or reminders for mindfulness with different vibration patterns (i.e. short short short = inactivity; short long = mindfulness )

maybe this is even possible with tasker ? Any suggestions?

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] nobo2k:
Well as I`ve written before - even though the news seem to sound good - but sony only opens up the api for the lifelog app. Meaning it will still be hard to interact with the smartband itself or use it with other applications and as long as no other developers of fitnessoftware (jawbone etc.) offers to import that information it still somewhat useless.

I would really love to see an integration with google fit - this would be a better step than to just open up the api to the own software which again gives certain restrictions. Curious to see which company has the foresight and opts for standards ;)

I don't need interaction with Smartband. Just showing data from Lifelog on my SW2 screen would be enough for me. ;)
