Misfit Shine

I'm using a Misfit Shine with my LG G2. They are coming out with a "cheaper" model soon, the Misfit Flash, but this will only be about the Shine. As for the website http://www.misfit.com/, so you can check it out. The only thing it doesn't do that you asked about is tracking notifications.

As far as being an activity tracker, it does a pretty good job. There where (don't know if still is) two version of the shine, and it is what it comes with. The version I got came with the magnetic clip and the sports band. The little cheaper model comes with just the magnetic clip. Like most of the trackers, this one is waterproof. Rating for it is 50 meters. So no worries about jumping into the pool with this one and taking a swim.

The major thing about this tacker is that I got mine in April, I just changed the battery a week ago. So it ran for roughly 3-4 months with no charging. But that is the bad part as well, it takes a watch battery. At least the battery is one of the most common ones, and pretty cheap on Amazon. So with this one I was able to get a decent period of time out of it without having to worry about putting it on the charger.

It can tell the time, but does so in a digital/analog way. It shows you where Noon is on it, then shows you the hand, then blinks the minute had for how many minutes past the 5 minute intervals. This is all by the 12 leds on it. To get it to show the time you tap the device two or three times (depending upon settings). This is where the Misfit Flash might be better, as it has a full face button instead of using the accelerometer.

The main negative to this Misfit Shine is that the Android software is a couple of revisions behind ios. It is still useable and will do everything, just annoying seeing a new feature mentioned and seeing that it is only on the ios at this time. Also the software is simple, but they have finally open the API to allow other programs to nab the data. So you might check to see if your preferred health/tracking app has access to it.

Overall I've been quite happy with it. It has survived two trips though the washer, pretty sure it can easily survive more since it is metal. The new Misfit Flash (plastic encloser) might not like the spin cycle as much though.

Hope my little review helps you out some.

PS: I've used it on Cloudy's roms, First on CloudyFlex and now on CloudyG3. I did not try it upon a stock rom.

Sony Smartband

I'm using the Sony Smartband with my G2. Overall I like it. I paid $80 for it when it came out earlier this year. The battery life is pretty good ranging from 3 to 5 days of use. It has a companion app that works with it called Lifelog. Lifelog tracks a lot of info. There is no screen on the smartband, but it does have touch controls and vibrates when your phone receives an email or a phone call. It is water resistant. I shower and wash dishes with it on. I think I will pick up the newest version when it comes out.

The one issue that I have noticed and reported to Sony to fix is that text message notifications do not vibrate the Smartband like emails, phone calls, and alarms do.

Also, the band they use did cause a little irritation to my skin. I'm not sure if it s from the material or from the band rubbing against my skin when I was wearing it.

Just like the other poster I am using Cloudy G3.

Hi Everyone,

So I am using HTC One X for the last two years, What happened is my phone lock pattern is locked and is asking for my gmail account credentials. The problem is I have switched off my WiFi and mobile data and I am not able to ON it again cos of the lock screen, and also I have unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP for which the touch is not working.

I tried hard reseting the phone, but whenever I do this, The phone goes to recovery and the touch does not work. I am stuck with this. My phone is just lying there, not able to do anything :(

Can anyone figure out a way for me ??? It would be very helpfull
[HTC One X] cyrillem28410:
Are you able to go in HBOOT (volume down + power for 10 sec) ?

If your phone is SOFF you can use fastboot to install another recovery than TWRP
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ar2000jp:
Boot scripting

By using U-Boot's boot scripts and boot menu support, we can unify the bootloaders to one bootloader, but use different boot scripts.

Boot scripts can execute any U-Boot commands automatically on boot, which means we can change bootargs, and use whatever other features we want easily.

The current version of this U-Boot port looks for a U-Boot script (boot.scr) on the SD card's first partition (mmc 0:1, which must be fat), and if it doesn't find one, it'll look for one on the bootdata partition (mmc 1:6) on the eMMC.

Please be aware that some U-Boot commands can permanently brick your device.

Please only use trusted boot scripts.​

To make a boot script, use:

mkimage -A arm -O u-boot -T script -C none -n "Boot Script" -d bootscript.txt boot.scr

Graphical boot menu:

Using the scripting capabilities in U-Boot, I was able to make a graphical boot menu. ROMs can be easily added to the menu by adding a few lines to the script.

I have a favor to ask of developers: please keep the script clean. Let's try to make a standard form for it.

I think the script is simple and self-describing. Adding a new ROM only needs a line for boot arguments, a line for the boot command, and a BMP image for the ROMs entry in a folder with the entry's name on the SD card's boot partition.

To keep the display clean (no artifacts/leftovers), please use graphics with the same dimensions as the entry files in the provided attachment.

BMPs must be in a format supported by U-Boot. I use 24-bit uncompressed BMPs, and then I gzip them.

gzip --best -k entry.bmp

Attached is the script I wrote, with some (crude) graphics, and support for booting eMMC CM11 and recovery.

To use the script, copy the contents of the "SD Files" folder to the boot partition on your SD card.

Testing, better graphics, scripts, and feedback is most welcome. :)

I have a tablet that won't turn on or charge. The dock will charge so I know the charger is good. I have read through the forums on similar issues but haven't quite found the same issue. When I press and hold the power button the orange light will flash twice but the tablet will not boot. I have tried charging with a phone charger (5V) as suggested in another thread for 24 hours to no avail. I suspect the battery is dead but I would like feedback from forum members. The tablet and dock is still under warranty in Australia but alternative suggestions from forum members would be welcome.

I'm having a problem with music controls not displaying on the lock screen. As I play a song on either pandora or google play music, I'll hit the power button to turn the screen off then back on with no music controls or album art work. It works flawlessly on my galaxy s5. Any suggestions on how to get this functionality back? Thanks

I know this is an old-ish phone but I am still happy with it and planning to try out some new roms. I like this wireless charging idea a lot and I kept searching around for a case/cover mod/accessory for the Optimus Black which would enable Qi charging for it.

Is there anything like this out there?

I've done a bit of searching on my end and I didn't see anything. Perhaps someone else may be able to find something in the deep crevasses of Google.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Spikelangelo:
Would you consider adding in a feature to replace the smiley key with a hard return key? Or would that be outside the scope of what you have in plan for the module?

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thanks for the feedback. I hope it's working well for everyone. It outputs some pretty detailed log information to Xposed and by extension logcat. You can use that to determine if everything is going smoothly. Also posted some screenshots to demonstrate the changes.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

What I'll be doing next is implementing a Preferences dialog so additional options can be toggled without having to reboot. This'll give me room to implement things like that without interfering with people who like it as-is.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dimm0k:
Sorry, my request is exactly the same as Spikelangelo's... just didn't know how to word it off the top of my head
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Just to confirm, you are referring to the actual keyboard key not the smiley button next to the attach button?
[Xposed Framework Modules] dimm0k:
Correct! Honestly I consider that area where Enter key belongs on a keyboard... not exactly sure when this changed to smiley faces or soft enter. Quite annoying! Do people usually leave a smiley face after every sentence??

Suggestion for implementing.

-Able to set reminders.

My stock Touchwiz messaging has reminders that "renotify" me every 10 minutes, pretty handy for working in loud enviroments.

I've been reluctant to change hangouts to default because of this.

Great work. Keep it up.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
I think it has something to do with duplicating functionality. There's already a dedicated send button, but then again there's already a smiley button... Thanks to inconsistent practices the enter key on Android can mean "send/submit/do/something or next field or new line or smiley" and each keyboard has a different way of showing you what is what. If at all.

What's your Hangouts version? I don't have a new version available to me yet so I'm assuming it's older. The version number there displays the version I built the module against. That's just a warning so the module will attempt to load anyway. If you see --- LOAD COMPLETE --- in the logs then it should work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] terrorist96:
My version is the one listed in that log I quoted above. It does say load complete though, so it should be fine, like you said.

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I've just pushed out v1.1 which includes a settings page. Sorry for the delay as I had to battle through different possible technical implementations. I've also elevated the project to "stable" considering the lack of bug reports.

I like the idea. It would definitely be involved to implement though. When I have the extra time, I'll see what I can find. Another possible approach would be to have a separate app that reads the Android text message database and if there are any new messages it would create a notification every X minutes. Definitely not as robust or seamless as trying to integrate it into Hangouts though.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ABQNM:
Have you ever used LightFlow? It isn't just for controlling the LED. You can use it to set reminder tones, vibration, repeating alerts (both repeating sound & vibrate separately) and more. The free version should handle Hangouts just fine. The paid version handles tons more apps. I use it to manage about 80% of the notifications on my phone, so I can tell just by the vibration pattern, led color, or sound, what type of message or even the sender plus everything is managed from one place. I just set each app's alert tone to silent and vibrate to off and then use LightFlow to manage the notification.

LightFlow can definitely handle repeat notifications though with different options for clearing them. You can set them to clear at screen on, or phone unlocked, or notification cleared, or app opened. Makes it pretty hard to miss those important notifications. And it has a night mode with a white list too.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but just wanted to point out that there is already a solution that works well for this.

[Xposed Framework Modules] IronCross1788:
Do u have an mms fix while being on wifi?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ABQNM:
Can you elaborate? I can receive MMS on WiFi just fine, as long as I am also connected to the cell network. MMS messages won't download over WiFi, so your phone should automatically download the MMS message over the cell network even when WiFi is on unless you have mobile data disabled, have no cell service, have no SIM card installed or are in airplane mode.

If this isn't happening, it is likely an issue with your device/ROM.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
This process is really tricky. The blame can be placed on Hangouts as well, if it's not working over WiFi. Android disables mobile connectivity when connected to WiFi. This means that when Hangouts is sending or receiving MMS it has to manually ask Android to re-enable the mobile data connection, which is generally something no app ever needs to do; Android wants you to rely on it to decide what network is best. This connection has to stay alive for the duration of the MMS transaction regardless of WiFi being toggled or either signal's strength. Lots of room for bugs here. It also needs to "connect" to the MMS APN. This is where the majority of my issues are. A perfectly good APN configuration but receiving APN related errors. Hangouts will be connected to the mobile network (so perfectly able to send/receive MMS) but it won't be "connected" to the MMS APN and will therefore refuse to operate.

This is why I really wish Android had a standard MMS API to avoid this kind of finagling.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ffchampmt:
As a suggestion, Wanam has implemented into some of his Xposed moduals an option to force connection for MMS while on WiFi.

I use Wanam Xposed and it works fine for me.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Thanks for the continued testing, I appreciate it. As for the attachment feature it's been available for some time but I haven't yet released a new version since. The next version will have this available.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
No, it doesn't.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mik101:
Im going to guess no because the newer beta than that (1.6) does not work correctly with the latest version of hangouts (the one you mentioned). Needs an update. I really really miss having the enter button on the google keyboard instead of the smileys button.

Edit. Sorry Kevin got there first. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:

v1.6-ad8952a

Hey guys. Running on an old version of Hangouts sucks. Let's upgrade!

v1.6-ad8952a - 25 Dec 2014 - Stable
------------
This release is functionally identical to the v1.6-beta1 (yay for APN
splicing!) with the follow exceptions (changes):

* Support for the latest release of Google Hangouts, v2.5.81636427.
* Added AT&T and Cricket APN presets (Thanks to Mike B. @ XDA)
* You can now add an attachment after you've begun typing by
long-pressing the smiley button. This can be enabled/disabled in
settings.
* The debug log is far less verbose during the splice.
* One or two other little changes.
* It's in the stable branch.

Merry Christmas!

Double check your Hangouts version. Again, Merry Christmas everyone!

PS: This is the fun little project I was slaving away on this December: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.versobit.weatherdoge
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Of course we always want to run the very latest, whether we need to or not! ;)

While Hangout v2.5.81636427 is currently the latest, note that at least 3 different subversions appeared about 2 weeks ago, all for minAPI15:

2.5.81636427 (22147330)

2.5.81636427 (22147334)

2.5.81636427 (22147338)

I haven't found any changelog between those 3 and XHangouts 1.6 won't care, but it's probably best to grab the "338" incarnation, just in case...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
XHangouts will match by the version code as opposed to the version name but will attempt to load on any version of Hangouts. I've only tested against the 338 and it's possible that it may not work fully against those slightly older versions. Sometimes Google, as with Google Maps, will have slightly different releases (but the same stuff) of each app for different versions of Android. The only thing that seems to differ between them is perhaps resource/asset files or the native binaries. Three different releases for the same minAPI so close is odd and perhaps they quickly fixed a few things directly after publishing what could have been a staged rollout.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
At first I thought those 3 were the common parallel releases (x34=240 dpi, x38=480 cpi, etc.) but I can't find any resolution-related differences and they all seem to have the same API level so it's a mystery. All 3 seem to work fine but I'm using the 338 just because it's there... ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] PhaseBurn:
I am begging you to please implement a feature for me, and quite literally a lot of other people that would LOVE to have it (and would likely use xHangouts specifically for only this purpose!).

PLEASE give me a UI option to remove the Video Call button from hangouts.

Ideally, it would be able to tell if a hangout is a group hangout (more than one person), and hide it only from group hangouts. Really, who uses Video Calls for a group hangout?

I understand if that's not feasible, in which case just a straight on/off tickbox would be quite amazing. I'm in so many group hangouts that people are constantly video calling accidentally all the time, including me, and I'd love to just have that damn button removed.

There's apps like Hangouts Video Button X (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.augmentedbytes.hangoutblock) that have over 10,000 installs and just came out recently, but they don't work well with a bunch of different devices (screen size and the location of the blocking element is hard to configure/get right), run in the background as a service, take up precious RAM, look horrible, etc...

I'd even be happy to donate a few tens of dollars for this support even to the author. I'd do it myself with the source on GitHub and submit a patch/pull request if I could, but I haven't done any Xposed devel yet and wouldn't quite know where to begin.... But please, consider this plea, and thank you kindly for an awesome module.

Cheers, and Happy New Year.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Definitely doable! Honestly, I've never had this particular problem but I can see how it'd be exceptionally frustrating. I have a working-ish version of it right now. I'd expect to see this in the next release.

Happy New Year and thanks for using XHangouts!

[Xposed Framework Modules] Phoenix232:
So, how is the next release regarding the MMS wake locking issue if you don't mind me asking? Thanks. And great job!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kevin M:
Haha, my pleasure. Unfortunately I cannot give you a timeframe on the next release but if you really do need it I can push up the super-hacky-likely-to-break-at-a-moment's-notice method I'm using now for you to build and use.

As opposed to the previous releases? v1.6-beta (now present in the stable v1.6) introduced MMS APN splicing. This completely cuts out the wake locking when you receive an MMS while connected to your mobile data network. If you are not connected to your mobile data network (say you're on WiFi) then MMS APN splicing will not engage and the wake lock will be required. Now there will be a wake lock obtained by the operating system when you receive an MMS regardless of the splice but this will be no different than receiving a text.

MMS APN splicing will need to be configured for your specific network. There are included presets for Verizon, AT&T, and Cricket. MMS APN splicing does not currently work for networks that need a MMS-specific proxy.

Enjoy!
