This thread is for the discussion, development and support of EXCT2. EXCT2 is compatible with all Energy Roms based on Windows mobile 6.5 and it is entirely possible that it will work with other stock and custom windows mobile roms.
EXCT2 is the continuation of a project i started last year which can be found here. It was born out of a hatred for the hours it took to configure a new rom install.
EXCT2 expands on EXCT by adding a basic User Interface and allowing for a large amount of automation for settings gathering from the system registry. No registry editors required, no Third party XML file writers needed. EXCT2 will detect exchange server settings, audio manager storage paths, Windows Live and palringo settings and so much more all at the touch of a button and export them in the appropriate file type in the folder of your choosing for XDA_UC (or possibly Sashimi) to import.
Requirements:
Windows Mobile 6.5 or 6.5.x (it may work with 6.0 and 6.1 as well but this has only been tested in the SDK's emulator and may not work as expected)
.Net Compact Framework 3.5
XDA_UC (it may well work with other settings importers like sashimi)
Some patience
Known Bugs:
All known Bugs have been squished for now
Download:
All downloads will be hosted here and new builds will also be hosted on XDA. Hosting the newest version anywhere else is strictly prohibited and if you want to host mirrors of previous versions seek my permission first.
Some Fun Stuff
I have had some forum banners made up so the users can identify themselves to each other. Also so it is easier to identify the testers and myself outside of this thread. If anyone donates towards the continuation of the project you will get a special supporters banner. Below is the users banner for you to download. Thanks to Swiss420 for creating them and also for doing the program icon. Swis has also just come up with the EXCT2 Splat!
The Thank you's
Finally i should say thank you to a few people simply because they have put up with me pestering them with questions and because they have provided code. These people are XDA members Ultrashot, Stephj, Xcaliburinhand. Also Jesse Jiang and Reed Kimble the on MSDN forums have contributed greatly. Finally The testing team deserve a big thanks (even the guys that went MIA) CanjunFlavoredBob deserves the biggest thanks for sticking with it and providing some great suggestions and ideas.

30 June 2011 (beta 1):
First public release
The FAQ
1) Some misconceptions.
It has been reported this is a settings importer as well as an exporter. This is not true. EXCT2 will only export settings and only the settings it is aware of. It is also not exclusively written for the Energy roms. It will quite probably work on any rom but the only roms it has been tested with are the stock WM6.5 rom in the WM emulator and the Energy rom in my signature. I also know that CajunFlavoredBob uses EXCT2 on his own private custom rom
2) I use a program/feature in Windows Mobile that doesn't have a settings exporter in EXCT2.
Well tell me about it. As long as it is a program that many people use, IS NOT a third party app like S2U2 or any of the SPB programs etc, and you can provide me an complete example of the settings that need to be exported i will work on including it, if it is reasonable to do so.
3) EXCT2 beta 2 and newer crashes on startup
Make sure you have .Net 3.5 Compact framework installed. This can be checked by running cgacutil.exe from the windows folder on the device
4) What do i need to include when posting a problem?
When posting a problem, please include what device you are using, the exact version (including skin, windows build number and rom date) also the version of .Net you have installed. This can be found by running cgacutil.exe from the windows folder on the device. If this util reports anything less than 3.5.xxxx.xx then don't post. Instead grab .Net 3.5 from the MS download center and get NRGZ to update his rom
more to come.........
@everyone This is a pretty handy application that makes exporting settings a piece of cake. Not everything is fully functional yet, but this has HUGE potential for the entire community and deserves some support and recognition.
@M3PH Is the public beta release any different than the last alpha build I tested?

Yeah i fixed the things you said were broken .. well the things i could fix (the palringo function mostly). I've also spent a little time this afternoon working on the user selectable save location with stephj and we've cracked it so i'll ship that out into a new private area for the testers tomorrow because i'm gonna go have some chill time. I've been working on this for 4 weeks or so and now it's public i'm gonna go enjoy myself for few hours
I've also just sent a PM to ezthunder in the hope that he will come read the thread and post something about it on the portal. I hope he likes EXCT.

I already am and theres gonna be a few more consumed before the evening is done
Just a couple of things for people reading this thread and thinking is it worth a try. Firstly hell yes! The more feedback i get from the curious the better because it will allow me to improve on the rough edges. I always release stuff as quickly as i can because the more people that use stuff like this the more it improves in a shorter amount of time. Secondly, if you have flashed more than just a couple of custom roms in your time you know it can be a pain to restore all your settings by hand. I remember when i was flashing updates every couple of days. It made using my phone so difficult because everytime i ran a new program i'd have to configure it. After every flash i would have go through the labourious process of reconfiguring my wifi, exchange partner and vpn settings. That's a half hour job right there and with EXCT it takes 10 seconds. Those numbers work for me and the 1500+ people that downloaded the original EXCT.
So go on, try it out, click that thanks button like you have a muscle spasm in your index finger and enjoy the brilliance that is EXCT2 (and if you really like it buy me a beer links below )
so we made it on to the portal see what egzthunder1 had to say here
Can't wait to try it, just need to know what prep is needed. I'm coming from EXCT1, so should I do anything more than backup and empty my XDA_UC folder and then run the cab?

BerMM, Whazzzup!!!?
You actually need to interact with this (sorry if that sounds insulting. I've been drinking). For you, i would say all you need to do is make sure the exchange, wifi and vpn tabs are filled out and hit the export all button and prey it's doesn't crash (no exception handling in the public release yet). If it works fine you then you just need to check everything you need was exported and combine the back up with it.
There also stuff in EXCT2 that would have never got into EXCT (like Facebook and twitter settings backup). Mainly because NRGZ said he would include EXCT2 in the rom when it was up to his standards (and the sun, moon, most of the planets and the man himself all align ).
Anyway, nice to see you're still around. I never forget a pretty face... i mean... i never forget a decent supporter
P.S
If you want a copy of the testing version let me know but it means you will have to do some work and stay in touch but you do get a cool banner like CajunBob's (ok fair enough, it's not exactly a massive selling point but Swiss spent time on those)
Going to give this a shot. Watching Nrgz postings shows he is getting ready to release his first 29022 ROM tonight so this will come in handing getting all the apps configured like I want them.
Thanks.

Another rom, you say? Any chance someone could tell me where a changelog is for these different builds (29017 vs 29022 for example)?
back to the main subject: Great job! I haven't "export[ed] all' yet, as I don't use sense and I feared for the safety of my meticulously kept xda_uc folder, but everything I tested worked just fine.
My first suggestion would be the obvious; instead of having numbers for encryption/auth in the wifi tab, make the drop down list show the words each number represents.
I haven't HR'd yet, but looking at the Hotmail.reg, it doesn't seem to have saved the password anywhere, encrypted or not.
Additionally, it would be nice for it to have an option to add other mail accounts with a page similar to what you have for exchange.

You can't lift the hotmail password from the registry. It's just plain impossible but you can lift everything else so when you run windows live all you have to do is to enter the password. There is also no provision for placing it in to a registry file so windows live knows what to do with it. So blame MS not me.
The numbers will get masked eventually. Right now it's more of a case of getting everything working before we make it look nice (and if you look at post 3 there are links that explain the numbers)
If you want extra email accounts send me an example file and when i get time i'll make up a layout and some code for it.
You guys have to understand that to write a program like this i've had to do months of reaserch to get the registry keys etc for exct1 and then i've had to learn VB, develop exchange partner detection code (i am the only person in the world to have done that) and then write 1100+ lines and counting of code. I can also only develop for what i have to hand. If i don't have say a yahoo email account syncing to my phone i'm not just magic one up to test with

I appreciate the significant amount of work you've put into your projects; but correct me if I'm wrong, generating the email2.xml could be done in almost exactly the same way as you have with the activesync page. You don't need to test any email accounts, since if it doesn't work AND the xml file was generated correctly, that is beyond the scope of this export project (and probably something funky going on within winmo itself, since xda_uc is only the messenger). Regardless, I would be willing to create any number of email accounts to help testing, and I'm sure others with random email domains will offer up their bug reports.
I will post a sample email2.xml later

Cool, thanks. Can i be cheeky and as you to export the registry key for that too?
As for the coding, it is pretty similar but the problem is in the details. Although the xml writing code would be the same with out the above file i'd have no idea what the attributenames would need to be. Then there is digging the values from the registry. You need to know the name of the account and every one names them differently. So you need to have an inputbox so the user can enter the name, then you need to run a search through the registry to find the relevent key and finally convert all the registry values to something that can be used in an xml file. So, if the email2 providers aren't grouped together in the registry like the activesync partners that's gonna mean writing a custom search proceedure.
So you see how complicated it is and yes i had read that link but it doesn't tell me the things i need to know about the registry key's and values because you forget this program is supposed to be as autonomous as possible and just another xml file writer.
Right, and now for a progress update. The current testing version has an improved folderbrowser that now supports a hierarchal view. Also, i have implemented some very basic exception handling. I expect to get the new version to you guys this week but i'm not making an promises.
Ok, I see, I didn't realize the activesync page fetches values from the registry. I didn't use it, and from my glance at it, I thought you had to fill in the values yourself (which is what I thought would be done for the email2.xml).
I'll have the key for you shortly.

Some of it comes from the registry and some of it you have to enter coz it's easier to get the user to input it than convert the value data to something the xml file can use. Ideally i would prefer it if the user never had to enter anything but that perfect world doesn't exist
The Beta2 has gone to the testing team. I'm hoping they do their thing so i can get it out today but it's very much a case of it's ready when it's ready. The preliminary changelog includes lots of crash fixes and some bug squishing and a speed improvement here and there. I also have a surprise for you but i'll keep that one quiet untill we release Beta2. Let's just say it opens the door for some really cool future features.
Also would you guys like it if i posted future versions on xda as well as hotfile so you can use the new QR Code download system? Post below and tell me what you think

It will either be "\storage card" or "\storage card\XDA_UC" and is called either exchange.xml or hotmail.reg. It won't be anywhere else. In the testing version i implemented a folder browser so you can pick where it is saved.
Hi all,
i got some questions to the permissions.
When i go to AndroidManifest.xml i see all permissions for the app. Am i right that the app can´t get other permissions than these listed here by the vm/kernel?
When i want to give a app not the permission to write my gmail-account, have i to delete the tag:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gm.permission.WRITE_GMAIL" />
and thats all?
Yay that all but removing permissions from app causes them to malfunction ... so be careful
Thank you for answer. I think some functions gave me malfunctions of the app. But if for example networking is blocked by deleting in a game, there isn´t a malfunction or? Only the adds are hidden, am i right?
I read about resign the repacket apps, mean u this with malfunction if they are not signed?
I think this "function" is very intressting for those who hate the spyfunctions of some apps/apks. Are there more infos or tutorials on how to do this the "clean way"? I think you have in complex apps to change some more things to get the apps running well, like changing some other sources too...
Yes, removing permission for network connection should be ok unless require net for other task like verifying license or online playing.
Unsigned apk are likely to give errors. So, it is better to sign it again after you make changes to an applications code. Google apksigner for more details on that and to find a download link...

I don't think anyone else has posted this yet, but I just wanted to share how I enabled NFC on the AT&T Galaxy Note. First, the phone must be rooted to gain RW access to /system. Then I took the file android.hardware.nfc.xml from SAUROM in the /system/etc/permissions folder and copied it to my AT&T Note. I guess if you wanted to, you could just copy the information below into a text file and save as android.hardware.nfc.xml and copy to your device in the /system/etc/permissions folder.

I too am curious as too if this is working
Are there any LIB fies needed? Does Google Wallet work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
that's another thing and I'm sorry for sounding clueless about nfc since it wasn't even a selling point for me when I got my note, what things can we do or apps we can use with nfc enabled?

Unfortunately I do not have any NFC tags to test this on, so no, I haven't tested it. I just know that before I did this applications would complain about not having NFC hardware, and after, they didn't. Also the toggle now shows up in Settings.
Copied text saved as XML file and used file explorer to put in permissions. When opening a nfc tag apps I get the error "no nfc adapter found". Can you share which app you are using?

I'm not sure to be quite honest. Before finding this permission file, I replaced the three lib files dealing with nfc (I got the lib files from Saurom). I also replaced Nfc.apk in /system/app and also got Tags.apk both from Saurom as well. However, I thought that it was just the permission file that was needed to get things working. Also, Google Wallet does not appear to be working. It complains about not having a supported device. I also tried the fix for the non-Sprint Nexus S phones but then it complained about some security key not being present.

You might need to go into settings -> Wireless and Network and enable NFC. Also did you reboot after copying the permissions file?

I couldn't get around it. Someone could probably spoof the hardware ids for whatever Google Wallet is reading.
The reason for this is because AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are trying to do their own thing to keep Google Wallet out of the states, they're calling it ISIS. See here: http://www.paywithisis.com
Electronic transactions is still a big money maker in the U.S., and they don't want Google to muscle them out of it. And I'm sure the banks, reserve, and IRS prefer ISIS as well.
I'm surprised Google didn't just give AT&T the finger when asked to prevent their subsidized phones from being used with Google Wallet. But I'm pretty sure Samsung had to play referee and comply with the cell carriers requests to lock down Google Wallet.

Google wallet will only work on the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. As far as I know, no one has managed to make it work on any other devices.

The reason for this is because AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are trying to do their own thing to keep Google Wallet out of the states, they're calling it ISIS. See here: http://www.paywithisis.com
Electronic transactions is still a big money maker in the U.S., and they don't want Google to muscle them out of it. And I'm sure the banks, reserve, and IRS prefer ISIS as well.
I'm surprised Google didn't just give AT&T the finger when asked to prevent their subsidized phones from being used with Google Wallet. But I'm pretty sure Samsung had to play referee and comply with the cell carriers requests to lock down Google Wallet.

Great information!
Will this still support homebrewed NFC tags, even if it doesn't do Google Wallet?

It should, and as soon as the NFC tags I ordered come in I'll post.
Interesting is that after I turned on NFC with this, I went to market.android.com on my computer and when I searched for Google wallet, it said it was compatible with some of my devices. I clicked and it said my nexus s and my note. I sent the download to my note but it says its not compatible like the other people are mentioning in this thread.
Can someone who doesn't have this done yet check and see if it says your device is compatible and let us know?

Looks good but needs a huge amount of permissions. Normally I'm not interested in permissions but that was 2 pages full of permission requests incl. SMS, Phonebook, etc. Why should this app need this? Anybody knows why? Don't installed it.
Thanks for the app, it looks nice and useful

not in the store either, spyware? TOO RISKY
The reason for the permissions is because the app acts under the System User ID, therefore can access any permission the system process has access to (ie all of them).
Here is the permissions part of the Android_Manifest file - note the android:sharedUserId field:
Code:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" package="com.sec.activemode">
<permission android:name="com.sec.activemode.compass.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.activemode.compass.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
<permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT" android:permissionGroup="android.permission-group.SYSTEM_TOOLS" android:protectionLevel="dangerous"/>
<permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT" android:permissionGroup="android.permission-group.SYSTEM_TOOLS" android:protectionLevel="dangerous"/>
I will further reverse engineer this tomorrow to see if I can determine if it uses any dangerous permissions and if it really needs to operate under the system user. As a general rule of thumb I would never trust an app that operates under the system user unless I had full access to the source code - I run one of my own apps under the system user because the class it accesses isn't visible to a standard user id (acts as a shortcut to the KitKat Easter Egg on HTC phones because HTC always disable the easter eggs) but then again, I have the source code and I built it so I know its not dangerous, with this though I can't be sure
Firstly thanks for the effort. I tried it and works with out any issues....

This app is from S5 Active ROM. This is pretty normal for system app. As a part of Samsung ecosystem it shares data between different Samsung apps.
By the way, this app uses shared user ID and protected by common signature from Samsung. If you tamper this apk, then it won't be able to install on stock ROM (unless you use core patch to eliminate signature verification). Thus, IMHO, there is no reason to pay so much attention to permissions required by this app.
Please can someone put a direct XDA download link?

Thanks, must have been half asleep when originally investigating that, not sure how I missed it Also if its a system app it should be pushed to system/app/ or system/priv-app/ (not sure which it is on Samsung phones seeing as I don't own one but my guess would be system/priv-app/) instead of being installed.
Hello,
I trying to develop an application for Amazfit (Pacefied).
I am using latest Android Studio, with SDK Android 5.0 Lollipop 21 rev 2 (version seen in an other post).
I just create a empty application with an empty activity, for Phone (not Wear because I heard that Wear app need some libs that are not present in watch...)
I compile it and generate an apk (for x86 platform ?!?).
I install with adb into the watch
It appears in the last screen (right) with lots of apps.
But when I click on it, nothing happens !
Do you have an idea/tip or a link for an existing project or how-to ?
Thanks, a+
Vicnet
you need to compile it for MIPS
Here's a jumpstart: https://github.com/manuel-alvarez-alvarez/malvarez-watchface
I successfuly compile and test on Amazfit a "Heelo world" app.
As I said before I use Android Studio to generate an app for android 21 (I try 23 but apk don't install).
I don't use compat module.
The main pb was the app style, based on simple ActionToolbar in the first version, that not working (app dont launch).
I change in style.xml the parent style to NoActionBar and then all is OK !
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.NoActionBar">

Great! are you able to make any network calls via wifi in the sample application?
I don't have the phone yet, but I'm planning to do some dev when I do get my hands on it.

No, just show "Hello World" !
Nothing else, yet.
I intend to develop a stretching coach, but I have no need to access network yet.

Hi, i need help guys, i need a smartwatch for handle heart rate for an Android App for my TFG.
Someone Know if i can get heart rate monitor data from Amazfit to another app develop by me?
It's my first time on Android app building, and i need some help
Thx

I'm not an expert in Android development, but I don't think you can get anything out of Pace sensors. If you find a way, please post it here. I'm also interested in Amazfit Pace development.

Huami/Xiaomi has web API available that you can make use of to create your own apps using the data available in their cloud. You need to be registered with them as a developer. There is a GitHub page that gives the details and web API description and all the information that is available via web API.

Anyone know if we can replace some of the system apps?
My idea is to modify the default music player so that it shuffles the music instead of playing it sequentially, but I guess it might need to be a system app (or at least have some specific permissions) in order to be available whilst running.

The default media player app is watch.huami.com.mediaplayer installed in the system/app folder. Given that we have root access on Pacefied, it should be possible to modify the system app. Also, the fact that we are able to make translations and install them implies changes to these app are possible.
BTW, the Media player app uses the following permissions:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
You can check to see if any of these are system only permissions and create your own app. I don't suppose you will need more than these permissions. Infact, you may need less permissions if you create your on music player app without wifi streaming

Hi!
I'm waiting for my new Amazfit And I wondering develops few small apps, it is possible to have network access from the watch? I just want to make a simple HTTP GET request.
Thanks!

Hi, any news about using Wi-Fi connection in custom app?
I've just received that watch, I'm starting some development in next days. I will post here my experience

I have been playing around and here is my summary:
Pair with Android:
http request works with the app in foreground or background
http request does NOT works with the app killed
Pair with iOS:
http request does NOT works with the app in foreground or background
http request does NOT works with the app killed
I'm trying to figerout what is wrong with iOS ... As far I see, watch is using Amazfit App as proxy to convert bluetooth request into real work network.
I hope this help.

That's weird - I thought that the watch would make a direct request to the network without needing to be even within range of the phone.
Do you have any sample code by the way? I was hoping to get started on some development for an app which downloads podcasts.

Yeah, I thouht the same, I may wrong but I spent some time testing it and this is what I found....
Sorry I can't share the code, I have been using an app that use network, not just a sample. I'm iOS developer not Android, so I'm going slowly on Android code If you manage to get some sample minimalist app please share it
Ok, after some tests, I post my experience (only Android at this moment):
I have created a simple app that enable WiFi and then call a page with http.
As mentioned by @jesuslg123 only with watch no connection, the http call end with error.
If the phone is connected with companion smartphone app, works like a charm!
I've experienced a strange behavior:
If first I pair the watch and then start my app, as said before http works, now if I unpair the watch and disconnect smartphone from WiFi, my app on watch still works and is able to perform http request!!!
It seems that something is configured during pairing and it remains until the app on watch is in foreground.
I think the watch is unable to resolve url or something like that without companion app.
In the next days I will do some more tests.
I can share my code if you want, I'm not using pure java, I'm coding with b4a (Android) and b4i (ios).
Tell me if someone is interested

Even if I unpair my watch, my watch is still getting notifications, I think is only truly un pair, when watch is restored... When phone was disconnected from wifi, 3G/Netowork was enabled?
I would like to test your app on iOS if you are happy to share the code or the APK, compiled may be easier
Thanks!
