Audiobook player news

Hi everyone,

Good news about the new audiobook player! First of all, I want to apologize for the delay. I'm working full time only week-ends and some hours in between.

I didn't answer the thread until having something decent to show.

Let's review the project situation:

IMPLEMENTED FEATURES

1. Exploring an arbitrary folder structure under abooks folders and collect audiobooks

2. Metadata information collected from files (cover, duration, track title, audiobook title)

3. Show a list of collected audiobooks with its covers if they're available (or a predefined image instead)

4. Show a list of audio tracks of the selected audiobook

5. Playback of the selected audio track

6. Playback in background

7. Until 5 bookmarks per audio track

8. Audio volume control

9. Sleep timer from 1 to 60 minutes

10. Forward/backward skip time (starting from 15 seconds)

11. Cover (Available or predefined) on the player screen

12. Theming partially implemented

13. Main parameters automatically saved (sleep timer, volume level, skip time)

14. Automatically playback of the next audio track (configurable)

15. Current position automatically saved (current audiobook, current audio track, current playback time)

PENDING FEATURES

1. Complete theming feature

2. Adapt current 360x480 resolution to 320x320 resolution for the rest of the Gear models (with the exception of the Gear S2 by now)

3. Minor bugs

Thank you very much for your patience and your interest.

Guys, I hope you won't be disappointed with this app!

Your picture links are broken for me, but that video is awesome stuff!
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
App already looks great in the video (can't see the images either)!!

What happens if a user wants to add a 6th bookmark? Is there a technical reason why we'd need this limit of 5? I am asking because I already added 17 bookmarks to the audiobook I am currently listening to, and I still have 7 chapters to go.
[Samsung Gear S] glenner05:
Wow looking good! We need more developers like you to fill our gear app store :)

I was wondering, suppose you or someone else could make some running app, do you think it would be possible to add support for a bluetooth heart rate monitor chest strap? Is there any api for this feature? I've seen already quite some running apps, but non of them seem to have this feature. They all use the build in optical heart rate sensor, but it sucks and consumes too much energy. I know on android wear its possible, but maybe samsung doesnt have api for this? Would be perfect to go running with only gear s and hrm belt and have a decent heart rate reading....
[Samsung Gear S] jmaw2015:
About bookmarks

Adding a 6th bookmark

User cannot add a 6th bookmark.

Technical reason of the limit of 5

In any computer platform, not only in the smartwatch that it's very limited, we have to find the right balance between aesthetics, usability and performance.

I don't have to much experience with audio books, but I was testing two classic ones: Aesop's Fables and Wuthering Heights.

Let's do some calculations.

Wuthering Heights:

Audio files: 34

Average audio file duration: 20 minutes

Average bookmark: one every 4 minutes (20/5)

Total possible bookmarks: 170

Aesop's Fables:

Audio files: 26

Average audio file duration: 2 minutes

Average bookmark: one every 24 seconds (120/5)

Total possible bookmarks: 130

And don't forget that the current playback position is always automatically saved, although I don't consider this position as bookmark.

Technically I can store unlimited bookmarks per audio file. But it also means slower loading time, slower saving time and more memory usage.

In a computer system, nothing is granted for free. If we gain more usability we can loose memory or speed.

So we need to review if total possible bookmarks are a reasonable amount before changing the app interface and its usability.

I already added 17 bookmarks to the audiobook I am currently listening to

I understand you're talking about the audiobook, not a about a specific chapter. Anyway, if it is necessary to add more than 5 bookmarks per chapter or audio track, I can review it, but in my opinion current amount is enough keeping balanced usability and performance.

Tizen Wearable Web Device API Reference

Hi glenner05,

Thank you very much. I think Samsung has a general API for Bluetooth. Does your heart rate monitor have an open API too?

In theory, your heart rate monitor must connect via Bluettoth with the Gear smartwatch and receive commands through its API returning sensor data.

It can only be explored if your heart rate monitor exposes a well documented public interface.

JMAW

Bluetooth API

https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.3.1/org.tizen.web.apireference/html/device_api/wearable/tizen/bluetooth.html

The Bluetooth API defines interfaces and methods to manage Bluetooth.

The following Bluetooth functionalities are provided:

Controls local Bluetooth device, that is, turn Bluetooth on/off, etc.

Sets visibility

Discovers nearby Bluetooth devices (Device discovery, including Bluetooth LE devices)

Gets bonded devices information

Controls bonding

Connects to a service on a remote device and exchanges data

Registers a service (RFCOMM) on a local device, which can be consumed by remote devices to exchange data

Advertise for remote devices (including Bluetooth LE devices)

Act as a GATT client (Generic Attribute Profile client)

For more information on the Bluetooth features, see Bluetooth Guide.

Since: 2.3.1

Has anyone else noticed that the Gapps for SlimLP aren't downloadable? I decided to try out SlimLP so I started the download, then I go to get the Gapps. I go to the add-ons tab on the website and click on beta LP Gapps. Then there is the list of Gapps(mini,normal,full) and then the dates on which they were packaged or whatever. So I click the newer full Gapps and click the download button and it loads another page and then it says, The recommended file was not found! Please inform your Webmaster. I went back and clicked on the other Gapps packages to see if they had the same problem too, and they did. But all the KitKat Gapps are working fine. Does anyone know why, or have this same problem?

Hi.. Few days back touch panel of my Canvas A116 has damaged. As I today got it replaced after switching the power, it showed " TP firmware upgrade". After pressing OK it started and stopped in the meantime showing " TP firmware upgrade failed". After rebooting the same thing continues.

Is there any solution...?

Will it cause any trouble...?

Now I am facing lots of trouble while typing, the keys has become slow and sticky after replacement.

Is this a software problem....??

Kindly help me out.

The phone was upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.2.1 last year.

I went to load MOFOROOT onto droid turbo, the cable go unplugged in middle of process.

Turbo has been stuck in bootloop ever since.

Using windows 8 and I have used every resource to try and get the phone to connect to computer so I can reload stock ROM.

The drivers will not load to the phone.

I have read just about every thread regarding droid turbo/maxx and cannot find a similar problem/solution.

I have used USBDeview. - attached

I have done partition clean.

I have wiped/factory reset

I have tried RSD Lite - which will not find the device

I have tried connecting it to PC through recovery mode.

ADB cant find device.

All in all how do i get stock rom onto phone when computer can't load drivers to it?

You have a droid turbo you have to flash back using rsd lite, I believe the rsd version you have doesn't detect your phone, uninstall it and use the one on my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3063470, also download your phones firmware (verizon) and your phone will be detected and it will flash

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Jaocagomez:
you need to use Verizon Stock Kitkat /// VRZ_XT1254_KDF21.128-15_15_CFC_SVC.xml.zip

turn off your phone and put it on fastboot mode (power and volume down 2 seconds) and then plug it on pc

it should be detected by rsd lite 6.2.4

select the phone and then select the firmware VRZ_XT1254_KDF21.128-15_15_CFC_SVC.xml.zip

and click on uncompress and flash

that should get your phone working.

also make sure you have motorola device manager for the proper fastboot drivers https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

do it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jerney307:
Complete - no luck

Okay so i went and uninstalled all the previous stuff i had. drivers/rsd lite etc

Reinstalled everything that you gave me and where the plan deviated was at "uncompress and flash"

I could uncompress only because rsd will not see my phone.

i made sure to download drivers and all.

Something is not right here, it seems like it would be easy.. but nothing will see my phone

ive attached some screenshots
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jerney307:
Update - still not fixed

okie here's the update.

I borrowed a win 7 laptop from a friend and tried everything again.

Still, RSD will not see my phone and computer says no drivers available.

Anyone have ideas?

its just a driver issue... what drivers are you installing? When you install them, is windows using them (device manager should not be saying unknown/generic usb device)?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
This is the thread below you should start with. This thread you are posting in is from 3 years ago, with different firmware. "Moforoot" was only with Kitkat, and was BEFORE Sunshine bootloader lock came along (November 2015).

Read post #1 CAREFULLY of the thread below. You will need Sunshine ($25) to unlock your bootloader. Depending on the firmware version you are on (you left that out), you may need to use a powerful temp root tool to allow Sunshine to run properly. But if you need to use it, it is ONLY a temp root and it NOT a substitute for unlocking your bootloader to obtain permanent root.

BTW, I think u didnt understAND my question. I think I dont need to unlock bootloader, I might be wrong, but my question was which firmware I need to use. and I am in bootloop anyway, so i wonder if it is possible to download sunshine and how do i download sunshine in bootloop? (cant turn on mobile at all)

If u have any idea if anybody can figure out what firmware should i use, that would be the best help.

I would definitely love the unlocked bootloader and twrp (who wont) but i am in such position right now with not even a good firmware, cant go to recovery, dont have any apps installed, so right now i need like either just turning on the mobile or one on one help on the unlocking bootloader.

That is part of the problem -- all those firmwares you tried to install. Each one has a certain version of bootloader and you cannot downgrade to older bootloaders. With locked bootloader, there's no way to downgrade to older firmware without bricking your phone. (There is a way with an unlocked bootloader, but that's not this discussion.)

1) this thread below is about using Sunshine to unlock your bootloader, and gives all the instructions. Furthermore, Sunshine dev has participated in that thread. Yes, part of the process (depending on firmware you are on) is to use a temp root to allow Sunshine to work. That's where it can get complicated. Sunshine costs $25.

https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684

2) If you don't want to do that then you need to just install the very latest firmware, not some older firmware. You can't downgrade to older firmware with locked bootloader. With a locked bootloader it will brick your phone trying to install older firmware. This is the newest Verizon Motorola firmware:

Yes it's really good.

I have a lot of (real) cameras to compare it to. And no matter how good smartphone cameras get, they will never compare to a medium format with real glass obviously. Just as a bookshelf speaker cannot produce SPL and frequency response of a full sized floorstanding loudspeaker. Currently bound by the immutable laws of physics for now. ;)

But I like what I'm seeing so far. They've come a long way.

The pro mode in the camera software is very nice. I still like FV5 and wish there was 50 ISO support.

Focusing has come a long ways too.

Have not tried recording video at a loud live music event to see how the internal mic and AGC deals with high SPLs and hard hitting bass drums. Most fail here, some really bad. The SNR and lossy compression used for audio sound decent so far with the video I've taken in normal environments. I believe they have got this sorted out since the Note 4. That was my biggest peeve with the S4 and Note 3. Awful popping in the audio. That was absent starting with the S5. The Note 4's camera was miles above the S5 and the S6 just refines that.
