A couple questions about Adobe Reader LE

1. How do I associate .pdf files to the Adobe Reader LE? The .pdf files have the default icon for unassociated files. I tried using Resco Explorer to associate them with the Reader using "Open with". But... I get an invalid path error every time I click any .pdf file.

2. I got Adobe Reader LE 2.0 from the Extras.zip from one of the 6.0 ROM, is Adobe Reader 2.5 available in the newer ROMs?

Thanks...

Ok... I was testing the new Foxit pdf reader Beta, but was annoyed by the banner that reminds one to register it. I installed MobileXpdf 0.0.6.0 using the cab available at SourceForge and I like what I see. I noticed that it was a little slow. The source for the latest version 0.0.6.2 was available, but there was no cab file availble just the source. McHale, do you know where I can get a cab file for 0.0.6.2 as it "might" fix some of the performance issues I noticed.

Thanks...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] McHale:
I'm using 0.0.6.0. They update CONSTANTLY so 0.0.6.2 or newer should be available soon.

The reason it is slow on your HP is because is the phone itself is slow. It takes me forever to edit contacts and do other simple things...

But, slowness aside, I really like the HP 510. For someone who isn't a power user of Windows Mobile applications besides the basics, it is perfect.

MobileX is better than adobe. Thanks. But personally pdf's just plain suck period on my shadow. I installed acrobat pro just to convert pdf's to html which works much faster. Foxit in ANY shape sucks balls. (try pdf-xchange viewer)

A tip for those using adobe reader le version 2.5 to read pdf files

To make the text fit to page and great to read, try adjusting the zoom level to 100 % or 105% using the plus or minus buttons [or from the menu], next click on 'tools' [ bottom left hand corner of screen], select 'view' then select 'reflow', the result should be an improved layout of page info and text, the only thing is you will have to go thru this process everytime you open a new pdf file.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] GrantDG:
'Reflow' in Adobe reader was the clincher for me - it officially does everything I need a PDF reader to do.

Opens large files quickly

Reflow for easier on-screen reading (reading that technical manuals that I do needs some level of formatting retained)

Rotate for landscape reading

It's fast (I quickly got sick of MobileX's "Rendering page" message)

I only wish that the reflow option could be set up as a preference...

I'm chuffed that I finally found a way to carry lots of books around with me in a readable format!

Adobe Reader LE 2.5 is pretty fast.

It would be even better if some one could find a way to disable the splash screen and improve loading time.
[General Accessories] drtune:
Hey I got one of these to do some hacking on - well, I got several of them, because taking one apart is very much a one-way trip.

As posted elsewhere, it's made of:

A 128x32 white OLED ( cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/UG-2832HSWEG02.pdf )

NRF51822 BLE chip (16K ram version)

Atmel ATmega16U2 (I assume to read the accelerometer at low power, but it also has USB - which appears to not be connected to the USB port unfortunately)

An accelerometer (STM C3H)

Azoteq IQS263 touch sensor (senses swipes and taps)

24C256 EEPROM connected to the Atmel

75mAh Lipo

..and some other stuff like a Lipo charger, vibration motor etc.

Typical cost is $15-$20 on ebay etc.

The cap-touch screen is quite good - detects swipes and taps reliably.

It's very well sealed - completely closed plastic molding. It looks to be fully waterproof to me.

Well... waterproof until I took a hacksaw to it. There's no way to disassemble it other than to (carefully) hacksaw/dremel the case open. Mine is still working fine, albeit in pieces..

I didn't see many photos of the guts online (just a couple) so or anyone else planning to hack on firmware for it, I found very convenient SWD and UART testpoints (under the OLED)...

Was figuring I might be able to find the time to do some alt firmware for it, because I quite like that Nordic chip, and it's a pretty decent waterproof BLE wrist-display with reasonable battery life (~7days people have said) and touch-sensor at a very attractive price.

I'll let you know what else I figure out about the hardware but first some teardown pics;

FULL PICS:

(oh man **** this forum not letting me post URLs... ok whatever, you figure this out..)

imgur.com/a/qTrSN

Samples images attached...

NOTE that test test points "RESET" and "CLK" are regular Cortex M0 SWDIO and SWDCLK, so just bust out the ST-Link/J-Link and have at it. Nice to have UART TX+RX too. Very civilized.

If I have time to get further into it I'll post more hw details on here.

Cheers,

DrTune
[General Accessories] drtune:
Yep J-Link works fine

Nice, works fine connected to a J-Link, can program it with NRFgo Studio, debug with Keil uVision, etc. Cake.

Ok when I have a sec I'll do some custom firmware for this thing, personally I'm going to use it as a user interface for a GPS+radio project for Burning Man - the I5+ should be perfect for the Playa as it's completely sealed, has vibration, decent battery life, nice OLED.

I really like this bracelet as a programmable toy - nice CPU, great price. I doubt I'll ever get around to programming the Atmel in there or using the accelerometer (it's not what I'm after) but as a two-way messaging device it should fit the bill nicely. :)
[General Accessories] oldslowdiver:
Well done my friend! Can't wait to see what you will come out with! Cheers
[General Accessories] diyar95:
Do something perfect ? thank you :)
[General Accessories] drtune:
Hm just thinking about it there's quite a lot of fun little things you can do with a cheap watch w/touch sensor that vibrates that are a bit awkward to do with a phone... bear in mind I'm super busy (I do this kinda thing for a living) and the BLE range is probably pretty poor, but...

a) Finder for those absurdly cheap ($3 or so) "finder" keyfobs, just display RSSI (signal strength) and it'd be somewhat useful; at least to give you a "warmer/colder" feedback on your distance to the tag.

b) Vibrate when your friend comes into range (or any BLE device that's advertising) and let you send simple emoticon messages (again the range won't be great, but enough for when you're in a bar or whatever), kinda like a really basic emoticon walkie-talkie. This would suck down quite a lot of battery (b/c of scanning for advertising packets) but it's a thought

c) some sort of basic morse-code style tapping messager

d) unlock your front door (use any old BLE device, e.g. a $4 CC2541 BLE-to-serial dongle hooked up to a FET or a relay)

e) assuming I can sort out reading the accelerometer, you've got basically a button/slider (the touchscreen) plus a very rough motion sensor; maybe make it a GATT HCI device like a mouse or keyboard (not sure what the OS support is like for those but it's doable)

f) You could certainly interface it to a Banana Pi (with a CSR BLE dongle) or a C.H.I.P. (which has built-in BLE)...

g) then there's all the stuff you can do with modern android/iOS phones and BLE; caller ID etc etc - much of this is covered by the current IWOWN firmware... Haven't look at it a huge amount but there's sure to be some fun stuff not yet done by the stock fw...

h) Depending what OSes have HID-over-GATT keyboard support, you could tap your watch to enter passwords (fairly insecurely, but hey it's a fun hack)..

i) Trivial to make the thing act as an Apple iBeacon (or any vendor beacon really, it's just a custom advertising packet) - and that would have excellent battery life. You could make it a beacon detector also but the battery life would suck horribly (I guess you could tap the watch to scan and it could buzz when it found an iBeacon and display some txt from it )

j) BLE scanner, probably most useful to have it scan for specific GATT profiles or ad packets or MAC address ranges or whatever; same battery life caveat applies but there might be a fun application.

...there's a lot of simple projects basically, it's quite a nice toy in some limited ways.... well like I say I don't have time to implement a lot of this but if I can stick some code up on Github maybe people will take the ball and run with it...
[General Accessories] diyar95:
Actually i don't think that there will be anyone who doing after you so i ask you to do some of them. Another question the screen has to coler white and blue can we change it i really like white one
[General Accessories] drtune:
Errrr.. no the OLED is whatever color it is. It's a cheap monochrome OLED. The only way you could change it is to take the device apart and there's no way you can ever put it back together properly again (it's solid molded plastic)

[General Accessories] drtune:
thx but the Nordic publicly available stuff is fine. I pulled the firmware etc from mine and reflashed it already. There's nothing difficult or problematic, just a case of finding time to do new fw (and I'm super busy) :)
[General Accessories] diyar95:
There was a distant feature in oldest firmware but they removed many asked to get it back can you do it in your firmware ☺
[General Accessories] drtune:
by "distant feature" do you mean distance, i.e. it tracked how far you have walked/run? I can see how that would be unreliable, there's just an accelerometer in there and you can't really figure out distance from that. Accelerometers just tell you which way is down (i.e. they measure gravity) plus the acceleration/deceleration as you move it around. So, they're ok for detecting walking, better for running, but not good for figuring out how far you've actually travelled, the best it could really do is just guess from the number of footsteps it detected, which is going to be pretty inaccurate.

In general I'm not planning to do anything with the accelerometer (I doubt I'll have time), I'm thinking about using the I5 for other things like radio messaging and as a phone peripheral.

I don't expect to produce anything that duplicates the current firmware in terms of function, I want to do completely different things. Once I've written some code I'm happy to put it on github (which will have basic stuff like driving the OLED, reading the touch sensor, using the BLE radio etc) and maybe someone else will build some firmware that works as a fitness tracker.
[General Accessories] diyar95:
Really it doesn't need any adding or creating for it. Just like calorie and step measure it was measuring km. You just need to get it from old firm and add it to the new one ?
[General Accessories] drtune:
Right, and without even having seen it I can tell you it won't work very well at all, because (...see above info about accellerometers and distance tracking).

Like I said I'm not planning to support any of this stuff.

If you personally want to "just get it from old firm and add it to new one" go for it! :)
[General Accessories] diyar95:
Well done bro thank u for your work i hope to see it soon

[MENTION=1517385]drtune[/MENTION]

The reason why we're "clinging" on you is because you seem to be the only one here who can really play with these things at a developer level. With the Chinese manufacturer not caring about the abroad markets (they did not release the v2.x firmware and the "full" v3 Android app outside of China), we're kinda stuck.

I, for one, do not regret spending $16 on this thing at all. v2.0.1.8 firmware - customly flashed thanks to [MENTION=2263427]roninzgz[/MENTION]'s thread - brings everything I was hoping for (vertical display and the ability to keep the time synchronized even while turned off), albeit with the trade-off of a slightly less responsive touchscreen. For crying out loud, I have Fitbit sporting coworkers that are envious at what this bracelet can do for its price. Their only hope is that mine will eventually break or fry due to poor manufacturing quality.

With all that going for us, getting you aboard would be a bit too much luck. Thank you for all the research and here's to hoping that someone will pick up from what you will share. *raises beer*
[General Accessories] drtune:
Sure, thanks.

I do this stuff for a living (not actually fitness trackers, but embedded systems hardware/software) so I have all the equipment and experience to make this a fun little project ; on the minus side I have quite a backlog of paying work to finish so taking time off that (and my family) to do this feels like I'm playing hooky from school :)

Anyway, like I say I have a pet project for this wristband in mind - and it doesn't really involve it doing much of what the existing firmware does - but at least I'm mildly committed to it now (ordered another six I5+'s and have one gutted and wired up for debugging here).

For anyone wanting to play with building new firmware you'll basically just need a hacksawed-open I5+ and a $4 ST-Link programmer; it would be interminably boring trying to debug by downloading new code OTA each time you make a change. Obviously once one has something reasonably ready to test it's easy enough to package it so it can be downloaded by other people with the regular Nordic OTA tool.

I can imagine it'd be possible to have an error in the firmware that bricked a device, but you'd put some reasonable safeguards in there wherever possible - really it's just about doing your best to ensure a user can get it back into an OTA-programmable state again.
[General Accessories] diyar95:
Drtune did you done anything ? :)
[General Accessories] drtune:
Not yet have a ton of work on right now and will be busy for a while on that - just very short of time right now.

Honestly don't expect anything useful to you as a consumer any time soon; when I get some code done (which will be for my project and not directly useful to an end-user) I'll post on here and github.
[General Accessories] christleo:
Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to customize this device and turn it into a ibeacon?

I'm looking for a wristband that is able to switch between On/Off which enable the device to broadcast iBeacon signal.

I'm looking for somebody who can help me with it, i'm willing to pay a small fee for his expertise

(I'd like to learn how to code a firmware of this device too)

Thanks

What am i trying to do?

I hope to develop a solution where i will like to enable Teens to have a SOS button on their wristband. It would then be able to code a android/iphone app that would listen for such signal, if the ibeacon signal is on their range, it will alert the mobile user that there's a surround person is facing danger.

Current wristband that i found would require user to pair it with a phone, i'm looking at broadcasting feature instead.

If any developer is able to do this for me, please PM me i'd pay a fee for your expertise.
[General Accessories] drtune:
Yes the I5 (or, even cheaper, a TW64 watch) can do simple iBeacon (or similar) advertising, it's not difficult..

However you are making two very common mistakes; scanning for BLE devices uses as lot of power so no mobile OSes will let you do it all the time (for good reason). Everyone overlooks this and it's a huge issue.

Secondly the range of BLE is very limited.

I am not interested in doing this for you (I don't work for small fees) but it's not a difficult task for someone who knows what they're doing.
[General Accessories] diyar95:
If you are not doing anything why you created this thread ?
[General Accessories] drtune:
I'm really busy right now with a bunch of other stuff, I'll get back to this when I have some time. I made this thread (and the TW64 watch one) because I figured I'd share the basic info (teardown pics, info on CPU, etc) with any other people who wanted to do firmware. I personally find it very useful to see detailed teardowns before buying stuff off ebay. When I have time to go back to the I5+ I'll figure out what pins on the CPU are used for what, how to drive the OLED etc, and post that.

I applied custom patch(Inapp and LVL emulation) on play store.

Lucky Patcher said that patch was successful.

But when I tried to use store, it only says "check your connection and try again".

So I completely deleted all of store's data and delete it, downloaded apk version of Google Play Store and installed on my phone.

When I checked, my phone cognized the installed play store as "user application", not as "system application".

There were nothing I could do, so I factory-reseted my phone and tried the same thing, but I got the same problem again, and I found that even my Youtube app doesn't work.

I searched for some solutions, and many people said:

1. check your internet connection, 2. see if your phone's time is correct, 3. remove caches and data of your app, kill it and reboot, 4. sync your app data from settings, 5, 6... etc.

I TRIED EVERYTHING THEY SAID, BUT MY STORE ONLY SAYS 'check your connection and try again" "check your connection and try again", AND "check your connection and try again".

OMG I had the same issue on my phone 9 times this year, and every time I did factory reset.

Plz lemme know if there's something I can do.

I'm using rooted LG G Pro, LG-F240L.
