Thanks!

I've seen issue #1 before, so I'll see if i can track that one down. I see issue 2 worked itself out for you.

Hello,

The icons don't have anything to do with the global sound settings of the device and are strictly for the notifications. The icon is a little misleading and I will look for alternatives.

Sound on icon - is like the initial setup. Screen on, sound played (if not muted in the system), and vibration

Vibrate Icon - No notification sound played (Does not affect global sound levels). Vibration on and screen off. Useful for places like movie theaters or when you don't want others to see your notifications popup on your wrist.

Mute Icon - Screen off, notification sound off, vibration off. (Does not affect global sound levels)

Thanks! I did not know there was an issue with Pandora but I'll look into it. My main music player is Google Music, so I haven't come across that. What device are you on?

Glad to hear it!

For others not able to connect to the gear after upgrading from version 1.3. It may be necessary to upgrade the watch apk manually as the UUID for the bluetooth service has changed and might not be recognized until upgrading the gear to 1.5

+1

I too am having trouble installing the app on my GG -- tried installing using Wondershare as well to no avail.

Is this supposed to work only on Null ROM and not on the stock ROM?

Thanks for the enlightenment.

You're on fire man! Every time I check this thread you've updated the app.

Thank you so much for your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lockart:
New text font too large and takes a while to load. Please revert to initial settings before last update. The previous size was perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RekiOneR:
Thank you very much for all theis work that your share, your job will gives a new life to my gear! :highfive:

Sorry for the newbie question but do i have to install the Sprocket on the gear or the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falum:
Yes you do.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

Just reread my early morning reply, I mean you need it on both devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RekiOneR:
Thanks for your answer dude, sorry i missed it ;)

Mean that a file explorer is installed on the gear to install the apk once i have paste it on?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
Thanks for the update!! everything seems to be working great!! I'm super happy that I can control Pandora now!!! Are you planning on being able to click on the notification and have it open up on your phone?

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Larger for me it's much better! I have old eyes! lol maybe an option to change the font size would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BombaMyte:
One issue: If the Gear connects to your phone, ALL of your older notifications come flooding in. There should be some sort of rule stating if the notification is older than X amount of time, don't display it.

Just a suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falum:
Love being able to expand the message, the only thing I can think of to make this the perfect app for my use would be being able to reply to what's app just like you can with SMS.

Thanks again for all the hard work.

PS: do you have a PayPal donation button? I'm happy to provide beer tokens to fuel the development °-)

Unable to install ver. 1.6 on my smart watch (Star Kingelon K2) Keep hitting next on the install process but never installs.

Ver. 1.5 installs fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
Hey this is an issue with the android update ui. You can click the all permissions and keep clicking next then install will appear.

I'll need to look at this again. I tried in the past but wasn't able to.

It's a good idea! I usually have mine connected all the time, but a timeout would be helpful.

Thanks for the donation offer :) I'll add it to the post once I have time to set it up. SMS reply from notifications is also in the works.

I'll work on settings to adjust all of these parameters

Try clicking on "ALL" first, then continually click "Next". It should change to "INSTALL" after after a few clicks.

Will not work. Ver 1.5 works fine but not 1.6

I completely uninstalled 1.5 on the watch and tried to install 1.6 -- no go. Then I reinstalled 1.5 and it installed fine.

??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falum:
I'm getting lots of crashes on the phone side with 1.6. Will shoot over the next crash log

LinkedIn Notification

For Facebook and text message notifications the person's profile picture displays. For LinkedIn notifications a dummy image displays. If possible can you update the notifications to display the LinkedIn's user profile pic?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] voredroid:
1.5a is spot on! Works wonderful w my Nexus 5.. The only issue was media control trying to use music.apk and googlemusic at the same time.. Simple fix tho.. Just deleted music.apk as i never use it... Great work!!! Paid for the Dev Key. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] machmandp:
Like the update the way that the notifications are shown is great.

But I have one request in that I use forza for football scores alerts and the notification shown on sprocket does not show enough of the message

Ie on the phone it will show the teams and the scores but on the watch it just shows enough to show the first team

Could you possibly fix that please

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
I have 1.6 with developer key and it keeps on hanging my phone and I need to hard reboot my nexus 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ebart:
If you were to add a widget screen (for a clock) and then turn it into a launcher (two lines in the manifest XML) It would be the ultimate app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ebart:
Also clearing individual notifications and maybe even stacking notification and notification expansion animation.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
Is there a link to older versions of this? I would like to try 1.5 since 1.6 keeps on crashing my nexus 5.

Set Sprocket as default home application!

Hey all!

If you would like to set Sprocket as your default home application instead of TouchWiz, or Nova Launcher (if you're using null_ROM), then get the app Target Home Launcher, and install it on your Gear. You can choose to set Sprocket as your home app, and then after timing out/pressing the power button to wake it up, Sprocket will take precedence instead of your usual home app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] boomboum:
WOW !

I just discovered this app and the sms sending / mms reading is really great.

1. When I send a text from my phone my watch vibrates. Really strange

2. When I send a text from the watch, it doesn't appear on the phone (and i have no return receipt, so I don't know if the sms is well send)

3. Sometimes crashes, but not a big deal.

Thinking about getting the developer's key.

I was wondering if I can uninstall gear manager (cause it's useful only for notifications) ?

Great job !
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] T-Anthony78:
Is anyone else having the issue where you are receiving a Sprocket text notification, but cannot click on it to read what it says? I get a Sprocket notification that I have a text, nothing happens when i try and click on it to read it, and then have to go into the Sprocket SMS messages to figure out who sent it and read and reply. Shouldn't I be able to click on the actual Sprocket notification to read the message?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
Check out "Wearable Widgets" at the play store, it only supports Tizen right now but if Sprocket can incorporate wdigets then this will be the ultimate app!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
Updated Version 1.7

Sprocket 1.7a

Fixed notification buttons not fitting

Items that do not fit go on to the next row

Bluetooth on the gear will reset if the connection is dropped to improve speeds

Support for large images like sms/screenshots

Images from sms and other notifications will show in the main view

Added request timeouts

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] standef:
Still cannot install on my Kingelon K2 smartwatch. Can't get past the installation screen: I select all then next...but after 50 next's the screen does not advance. Version 1.5 does install correctly but NOT later versions.

Can you fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falum:
I had this too, have you uninstalled the old version first. I got stuck going from v1.6 to v1.7a. I deleted the app and it installed fine after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] standef:
Thanks.. That did the trick. I had to clean out all cache as well. However, when operating 1.7 a screen pops up and asks if I want to upgrade sprocket--this "update" screen" then hangs up on the "next" problem all over again....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] T-Anthony78:
Nice app, but I still don't know why we can't click on the text notification to read what it says. Reply is cool, but again, it doesn't take you to the actual message.. just the repository of SMS messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] boomboum:
Right, it would be better if it took you to the right message.

BUT, I don't understand when you say that you can't read the text on the notification. I can read both text and image (nice add by the way, thx East2West) in the notification bubble. And I don't have the developer's key yet, so it's the basic version of the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
From a technical standpoint its a little harder to accomplish because the app is parsing the notification from your default sms app and there is no tie in from that to the sms thread that you received a text from. That leaves me with only a few options.

Disable your default sms notification and send notifications for texts explicitly from Sprocket so we can have the info we need to reply

Listen for sms changes and see if any notifications come right after it and tie the information to it

I'm still deciding which approach to take and each has their own advantages/disadvantages. The problem with the first is that your default SMS app might be coupled with other messaging platforms such as Google hangouts, so if I disabled the default notification you wouldn't get other non sms updates. Another issue is that sprocket does not support group messaging yet so you'd miss out on those notifications.

The second option will probably not be reliable if you have multiple texts and notifications coming in and the same time so the information can get crossed. Wouldn't want to send the wrong message to the wrong person:eek:

I'll probably go with the first option but it will take time to create a custom notification that handles all types of sms/mms threads along with handling the notification problem. It will take time so I figured a reply button that takes you to the threads would be a good start.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
Hey, looking into this as well. Tried to do a marquee type text where it scrolls but the default one in android isn't customizable, With the new versionI shrink the text as much as I can. Will explore new options for fitting long header text.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Overdrive83:
Sprocket as default messaging app ?

Hey there !

First thing first : thanks a lot for your app man ! It works really pretty well (for the record my phone is an Xperia Z Ultra and I have no problem besides error log when I'm not sync with my watch but... that's not a big deal).

So my question is : would it be possible, considering we're using null rom on our watches, to set your app as default messaging app for android ?

The reason I would love to do that is for using with Google search ! At the moment, I can use the "OK google" thing to write an sms to any of my contacts but I'm not able to send it considering android as no app attach to the "send an sms" action.

Such a possibility would really be great ! I don't know, maybe there are some restrictions due to the null rom version considering the option needed in the OS settings to select such an sms app seems to be absent...

Thank in advance for considering the idea !

Keep up the good work ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
Is it possible to replace the sms function with google hangout instead? some of us dont use sms.

Updated Version

Hey Everyone!

If you are getting a constant update notification there was an issue with my workspace and the version code would not update. I've reuploaded a new version to fix the issue.

Sprocket 1.7b
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sudermatt:
I can't seem to get the file transfer or remote app install to work...seems like its reading my SMS OK ....

that's about it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
So with this app I can get all directions from Google Maps to be displayed on watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Rehab4Life:
I have a Nexus 5 and I'm using it with the gear. And before this app I was using ATN Manager to receive notifications, and I mean it worked, but it only showed them, and not in such a pretty manner. But now that I bought the app I get notification perfectly, sms, weather, spotify, etc and it's just great. Thanks a lot for making this, pretty much works perfectly with my Nexus now. I do have a few suggestions though. Add built in weather, and maybe make it so it can be the default clock, and a good looking one.. Like "Watchstyler". Thanks a lot again.

*Oh and I couldn't get remote install to work. Said the gear wasn't allowed to install apps withought the play store or something. Even though it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falum:
One little quirk is it is hard to press the top name in the SMS list. Would it be possible to start the list of name a few pixels lower from the top?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noctrin:
Got the dev key, great job!! Nexus 4 running latest purity.

A few observations:

- small issue with the gear going out of range and disconnecting, the connection error pops up quite a bit until i connect again.

- the music notifications have about 5-10 sec lag

- if you can somehow add hangouts integration into the SMS, it would be perfect.

- I use it in the car and play music from my phone since i have unlimited data and the google play music sub, the music controls in the notifications are a bit hard to hit, but i don't see anything that can be done there.

- the notifications for navigation are an awesome start, but i feel they're a bit too convoluted. Not sure if anything can be done there either. An arrow with a street name would probably be the best solution if possible.

Overall, i went back to android for this, the gear actually does everything i ever wanted, very happy with my purchase. Great job!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
Updated Version

Hello! Another update..

Sprocket 1.8

Widget Support!

Swipe left from main menu

Long press to change widget

Can also activate by clicking notification clock at the top

For both free and developer versions

Out of Memory Crash Fixed

Phone memory was greedy before. Should stay in memory much longer without crashing

Removed "Unable to connect" popup from phone

Will still show on the gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noellenchris:
Very nice update! You Rock! Have you toyed at all with maybe porting Sprocket to work also on Tizen? They have some notification apps, but they only send the notification, it's nowhere even close to your masterpiece. I'd bet you could make a killing if you could make interactive notifications like you did on Android over there. Anyhow, I love your work and always love to see your updates and new features! Take care.

Chris

P.S. I did PM one of the writers about your app. I think I will basically need to write the news article with some pictures, or even if you have something written up with pics you could submit to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
I'll look into putting this in where google now will detect it as an app that can send sms. Will have to do it without affecting the phone somehow.

Widget support is in! I'm not quite ready to make it a launcher yet though, still a few things I feel need to be added

I've removed the connect popup from the phone. I have mine connected most all the time, but when I didn't I shared your experience with it popping up every minute. I'd also like to look into parsing out the google map directions too.

By the way everyone, Hangout (really Google Talk) integration is in the works! I'm using their old xmpp protocol so not everything is supported right now like chat history :( I need to build a system that will save the chat history in sprocket when signed in to have some context to the messages. I hope to have it out by early next month.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
Thanks Chris!

I haven't had a chance to look into Tizen yet. I'll probably wait until its really stable on the Android front until I look at migrating over because development will stop for a good while until everything can be ported over. I understand its a HTML5 based os which is good because I do web development as my other major platform, but it will still take take pushing all the Java/xml classes over to HTML5 and javascript. Development of new features would stop for a while until that could be done. Really appreciate you pm'ing the writers for me too! All the screenshots and features can be found in the first post. After every update I dump them in there to have a master update list
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noellenchris:
Ah, Just looked at the first post again and yes, very nice. I think your app doesn't need much promotion anymore, as it's no secret what a cool/new useful app you created. We can only use so many poker games and flashlight apps etc. But once in awhile something unique shows up and it really just amazes me sometimes. Just really glad to see a brilliant idea in the hands of a dynamic programmer. Wish I had a sliver of your talent and I wish you all the luck. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] FdeKlerk:
Morning Dev.

The 1.8 update solved my issue of the app not able to work or send error log.

But I have a small (humungous in context) request.

Is it possible to have the send file option as a basic command for example "com.east2west.galaxysms.SEND_FILE"

Thus if i use that string in tasker with an extra option of the file i want it to send for example "/sdcard/download/image1.jpg"

This would be a life saver and i can assure you i my be the only one asking you for this.

But there are tones of people wanting this option and as of yet your "SPROCKET" app is our only hope.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
You got it!

Intent: "com.east2west.galaxysms.SEND_FILE"

Extra: "path"

In tasker this would be extra as "path:/sdcard/test.txt"

This should work if sent from the gear or phone. This will also fix the notification shortcut not working on the main screen.

I have been fiddling and can not seem to get it to send a picture to my gear.

So if possible can you help? I am using /sdcard/pictures/01/01.jpg

Is my Send intent correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
Is it just me or does 1.8 kinda laggy vs 1.7? plus tabbing on "add widget" doesn't seem to do anything on my gear. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
Not a guess! Added that after I saw your request.

You'll need version 1.8a. Your intent is almost right. Try the settings below changing the action and target and removing the package and class. I'll probably change this later to add support to Android Send Intents but I figured it would be a good start for you.

Are you still having this issue? I just cleared out my settings and tried the add widget button on my gear and it opened the widget list correctly. Are you on a different device?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falum:
I'm finding that pressing the add widget button completely locks up watch. I'm on a K2- W100 android 4.2.2 gear clone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
.

I have a gear 1 with nexus 5. I have cleared and reinstall it on my Nexus 5. Still not working. I am on a stock gear firmware. I have tried it with Samsung gear running and without it running and its the same ( I usually don't have the gear manager running). The lagginess comes after I press the add widget button and goes away after I restart my phone and the gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] East2West:
This could be an issue with not running the _Null rom. I'll look at getting the stock firmware put on my watch sometime this evening or tomorrow and see if I can hash out the issue.

Falum, I'm not familiar with the K2. What kind of firmware is it running? Samsung or something custom?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
Oh ok, I can switch back to the _Null rom if its recommended that I should be running that, I just never got around to installing it after downgrading from Tizen. Also I like the better battery life on the stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] falum:
As far as I can tell it's stock 4.2.2 with a launcher. I've run other launchers on it such as Nova and Google now. I can install most things my phone runs.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] norm688:
Is it possible to have an option to make the notifications go full screen without the clock and the clear all button? maybe double tap to clear a notification or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] FdeKlerk:
Dev I must admit, you are one of the better ones out there.

Modifying just because a request came in for tasker.

IT WORKS!!!!!!:victory:
