This app works great man. Is there any setting to make it autosync anything you make?
I tried evernote long ago but didn't find it much use since there was no winmo app. Any tips or tricks?
wow, great app, works great on the hd2. waiting for the voice notes to be functional. some suggestions: feature to send notes through bluetooth and more color schemes

There are 3 votes for autosync so far, which does not quite bring it to the top of my to-do pile, but you can help to change that.

Evernote has a WinMo app, but it is pretty bare-bones and has not been supported for a long time.

I'm not sure what you mean by sending notes through bluetooth. Would you elaborate?
Adding more colour schemes is unlikely. The app currently includes two versions of the interface, one for high-resolution displays and one for the low. With more variants of each, it could quickly become unmaintainable. I can't change the background colour programmatically either, because it is baked into the graphics. They are all dithered for 16-bit colour, and dithering is incompatible with transparency.

It's simply you can send the notes you have to another device, say to another phone or pc, using bluetooth.

The thing I wonder about is what to do with the note on the receiving end. Official Evernote clients cannot properly transfer notes outside of synchronization. Exporting to HTML is possible, but would raise the question of what to do with file attachments.
Of course, if you can connect to internet through Bluetooth, then you can simply sync.

Yeah i remember trying it out specifically because they had one, but it was terrible. Yours works great on my htc touch pro 2 though, so thanks
Perfect timing: I just started trying out Evernote this week and wasn't really keen on Evernote's own application because it's useless offline. And here comes your app and looks great.
I got one problem, though: It refuses to connect via wifi. No problem at all via 3G, but on WiFi it steadily shows "connecting".
Oh, and being able to create new tags would be a good addition.

Thanks for complimenting the app. I have not used WiFi in a while, but will try to reproduce your problem.
Started a new work item for tag creation: http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/workitem/1005.
Voting on feature requests gets them implemented sooner.
Since restarting my phone a few times, the app doesn't hang up while trying to connect via WiFi anymore - it just takes way longer than via 3G for some reason, but it's usable.
Edit: Forget about the described problem. I'm sure it was a generally lagging WiFi connectivity that day. It works like a charm in other WiFi networks and now at the same one, too.
I apologize for taking so long to release a new version — just did not have much time to spare. Version 0.38 implements one of the most-requested features, letting you choose "All Notebooks" to browse, search, and sync all your notebooks together.
http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/releases/view/83479
Great App!
Great App! Working on my old Axim X51V!
I see on your website that you have Notes popping up with a timed alarm reminder as low priority. Let me put in a vote for higher priority.
I would use it as a timed "sticky note" to myself to do something.
Keep up the good work!
Just released version 0.39, making it possible to delete notes from the main note list screen via a tap-and-hold menu.
http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/releases/view/84127
Version 0.40 adds an option to compact the database from the profile screen. Compacting a database can make it smaller and faster by removing empty spaces left over by editing, moving, and deleting notes.

cant log in
It must be just me; since nobody else has mentionned it; but I cannot log in to evernote at all on my HD2. On 3G it immediately comes back with network error (never even tries to open a data connection). On wifi it seems to be trying to do something in the background but after a few minutes to just goes back to the login screen.
Any ideas??

It sounds like the WiFi connection is slow and times out. With 3G, try to establish a data connection first, such as by opening a web browser. I just created a work item for this: workitem:1055.
0.41 release
After a temporary break, development continues. Version 0.41 adds some more polish to the user interface, as well as a new in-app player for WAV file attachments.

Regrads,

This program is making all the right steps in all the right directions, it has great prospects.
There are some features that Evernote has that I hope would arrive in this software in the not-too-distant future. I make more handwritten notes that any other form of note taking, and what I find with 'PeoplesNote' is that the 'Ink Note' feature is just a one page scribble pad without any option to scroll or add a page. It would be fantastic if the Ink Note feature of PeoplesNote could automatically scroll as the old Windows Note does as you approach the bottom of the page. Evernote's Ink Note recognises that you are reaching the bottom of the page and facilitates extra space to scroll into. Additionally, it would be very helpful to have an erase feature with Ink Note.
Please don't take this as criticism, I can see this app being extremely useful for as long as Evernote allow you to develop it.

DESCRIPTION
Hi all,
I have been trying for a while to find some GPS/CellID tracking programs that work fine but most of them are buggy and not very accurate. That's why I decided to write my own!
Features:
- Ability to generate KML and GPX files that can be opened with any tool that supports that type of file.
- Realtime tracking with Google Earth or Google Maps.
- You can create and manage your own trips
- No internet connection is needed when using TrackMe (Offline mode)
- Ability to display your current position on your PDA
- Geofence with SMS and email notifications
- You can send your current position by email or sms to other person
- Ability to upload pictures. TrackMe will extract the GPS information/Creation date (if any)
from the pictures and it will match it with your existing GPS data
- Search for closest user based on your last uploaded position
- GPS powersave mode available
- You can use your own server instead of my free server
- Stealth mode
- You can force updates with your own custom icon and comments.

If you guys are interested in this program I will keep it updated, otherwise this will be probably one of the last versions!
Please leave your comments, suggestions and ideas here.
Have fun!
Regards
You can Donate if you like my tools. That's always a good motivation for future developments!! Thanks a lot!
that's pretty dope! Where does it upload the data to? Any chance of sharing the source code and people could add to it? maybe open source it?
Thanks kireol.
Right now it's uploading the information to the mysql database that I have with my web hosting.
Regarding the source code... I think it could be a good idea. Maybe once the program is completely stable I may do it. Thanks for your suggestion.
for sure man, you did a great job! And I for one would love to get involved. I was a programmer at Ford for 15 years(C++/PHP/Perl/Java) until those jobs went to India and forced me to throw away my college degree. I've been dieing to get back into programming (5 years now). This last weekend I snagged MS visual studio .net and the wm6 sdk and started compiling. This might b a good transition for me to get back into thinking that way, if you decide you'd like to OS it that is

Thanks ishkatar.
You just need to go to Config, and enter there a username and password.
The account is created automatically as soon as you start uploading GPS data.
If for any reason the username already exists or there is any other error, you will be notified.
We always approve such moves!!!! Go on and keep up the good work!!!
Very cool.
Maybe you could release the table structure and a way for people to host their own data...like a personal web app.

Wow ... works perfectly!!! I just did a test walk around my office and it mapped it perfectly!!! Good work Staryon. I'm really eager to see how you did it.
Thanks a lot for all your comments. That really encourages me to keep updating the software.
laakness, at this moment the data is inserted into the mysql tables by using HTTP calls. My website gets the HTTP call and depending on the command it will do the specified task. That means that what you mention it would work if they have a website with PHP and a mysql database. A nice feature that I could add in the future is to make the inserts directly to the database instead of using HTTP calls.
However this is something that may not work for many web hostings because they usually don't allow access to mysql from external applications (which is my case by the way)
For the KML files (Google Earth's files) I used a structure that I liked in one of the tools that I found that does something similar to this. I made some modifications though.
I edited my previous post. Obviously where I said URL calls I meant HTTP calls.
Sorry for the confusion!
I have not yet installed it but it looks really cool from the screen shots. I have been using 3DTracking (free) but it is not without its problems and does not look as comprehensive as this. Does it carry on logging position after you power-down (standby) the Kaiser? 3DTracking does and its a real pain as it means you have to keep the screen on all the time!!
Thanks for the info.
I actually do host my own site using PHP/Apache/Mysql which is why I was asking

This app lets you shut the screen off which is great. This app also alows you to set your upload and update intervals. They are great and needed options.

Very good. In that case I can provide everything that you need to use your website.
However, I will have to make it some changes in my code because at this moment the HTTP calls are hardcoded to my website. Once I have this done I will post it here.

Re: Announcing *TrackMe 1.0.0* GPS Tracking tool with Google Earth
Very cool indeed…
We must be neighbors of a sort. I work in Herndon (Worldgate) and was pretty surprised to a bird’s eye view of my office. Hope you aren’t getting stuck doing that toll road shuffle for an am commute – lol.
I installed it on my Wing, but it is not responding.
first error I got. unable to open port 4
I changed to port 1 and what I get is - waiting for gps respond.
not working for me.
Do I have to be outside the house for this or online?

I have written an app called TouchRC to enable me to control my windows media center (vista and windows 7) from my phone.
Download link and screenshots can be found on the codeplex site here.
I will try and pad this post out a bit more as soon as i get decent amount of time to do it!

Nice! Too bad I have Media Center 2005 or I would love this.
i will try it
i cant get the wmcontroller app to work in WIndows 7 RC'
does anyone knows what to do
I tried to get this potentially great software to work with Vista Premium incl. TV Pack but whenever I start VMC I get an error message 'can't load...' :-(
Any help is most welcome.
what are the limitations of this software, evorgevol?
specifically the following 4:
- what type of connection(s) does it use to connect to VMC/w7MC (wifi only, or bt optional)?
- is it intelligent enough to work with VMC plugin's? (my movies, MCEweather, daemon tools etc)
- is this a complete replacement for an MCE remote - ie, could i remove the IR-transmitter/reciever?
- is it intelligent enough to realise what menu it is in, and filter out un-used options (ie: 'channel change' and 'record' would be removed if in pictures/dvd area)?

It connects over TCP/IP, so it would have to be connected to your local area network.
This is only really a simple program that interacts with the VmcContoller application, so can only do reasonably basic stuff. I have added functionality to so that it can use the MyMovies application metadata, though most of this is still in progress.
It depends on what you use your remote for as to whether this can be a complete replacement. I currently dont have, and have no intentions in the near future of, having a number/keyboard pad. So if you use these a lot, then it probably won't be a full replacement.
I had planned to make the now playing screen a bit more wise about what type of media is playing, and display different icons accordingly, but this has been marked as more a of a 'nice to have' in the application which i might work on in the future, but have other things I'd rather get working first.
Hope that answers some of your queries...
evorgevol
indeed they all are 'nice-ities', and it wont stop me considering playing with your app.
thanks for answers
Unfortunately, the media center network controller software can not be installed on a Vista X64 pc. I would really like to use this app on my mobile device!
Regards,
André
Man this is absolutely awesome!!!
I don't have a MS MediaCenter solution but MythTV, so I wanted to do the same app like you did but for MythTV quite a while.... I already gave up in searching a usable GUI framework like your Fluidity and started writing my own (Which took basically up all my time so far - that's why there is not even an app yet ... But your solution kicks the living sh**t out my little approach.
Is it ok if I borrow up the framework and perhaps some junks of code from your app??? I don't think I'd get it done better if I would try myself, so it would be nice if I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. I will of course list you in the credits page of the app.
I spend some hours browsing through your code and I think I got almost through in understanding how the controls basically work. The only thing I miss is the complete overview of how the binding to the actual data is done. The idea with the Templates for the single Items is pretty neat and makes it extremly flexible!

Thanks for reminding me... I forgot to give the original author credit!!! The control framework I use on TouchRC is called Fluid controls, and it's on codeplex here.
I will update my codeplex to give him the credit he deserves, I certainly wouldnt have been able to do any of my app without it!!
Just for thought though, if you create a TCP/IP server for your app, and use the same receive commands as VmcController, then you should just be able to use my app entirely! Or, if you do make it different, and you want me to, I can add your commands to my app too, so that the user would be able to control both windows and myth from the same application!

WIN 7 RC1 how to install
so u guys have a lil question...
how to install this awesome prog on win 7 RC 1?
ive installed touchRC on my XDA Orbit...
then installed VMCControl on my win7...
then loaded this zipfile
http://www.nloit.co.uk/downloads/vmccontrollerwin7source.zip
and ran the DevInstall.cmd...
opened up MC...
added the name of my PC to touchrc...
ran touchrc...
clicked on "Now Playing"...
recieved Error massage: "Connection could not be established"
WTF am I doing wrong???
have i missed a few steps or simply did wrong prefrences?
sry for my bad english xD
but big thanks to the developer its an awesome app
(if i were able to install it in the right way xD)

Can you load up the http server for vmc? (ie, on a diff computer, go to http://hostpc:40510) and see if that works? if it doesn't, then it probably means that VmcController isn't working properly. If this is the case, then revert to the codeplex site of VmcController to ask for help.

Thanks a lot for the offer, but I plan to build a 'richer' remote client for MythTV. Means, besides a remote control function I want to be able to browse the Program Guide, Recordings, Movies, Music, Pictures on the phone and select them to play on the PC/TV.
And I have some other ideas which would be pretty neat, but for now I am already happy if I get the above items finished. (technically thats usually no prob, but once you solved all the tiny little problems and know how to code the whole thing it often gets boring )

Hey evorgevol,
any updates on the app yet?
I now have the basic server + client API done so far for my project. I hope I'll reach the alpha state up to your level within the next 1 or 2 months... Then it should really go quick...

I've been stupidly busy recently, so haven't had any chance to work on it for a while. I'm hoping that will change next month. I have made some minor updates to it (but not checked it in), but won't be making another release for a couple of weeks yet. Hopefully soon though!!! How's yours coming along?
Hi all,
Just out of curiosity does anyone here use X10 devices and more importantly use HomeSeer?
I've almost finished my Home Automation app for Android and may be looking for some testers.
Thanks Matt.
Yes, I do.
Wow, I shure want to test this.
I use the "old" version of Homeseer. I'm at work now, and don't know the version number.
It should work fine with either 1.5 or 2. You just need the web interface enabled and you need to copy a script into the html folder on the pc.
I've got a couple of things I know about which I need to fix first but then it would be good to get someone elses opinion. It does exactly what I wanted it to do (obviously) but you may have ideas which you would like implented.
Seems to work really well though. I can control my whole house from the phone now and best of all the layouts are all done dynamically so you don't have to sit there for ages designing your GUI like I used to with netremote on windows mobile.
Matt.

Hi Matt,
I do indeed! Would love to have access from my hero. Homeseer is a great piece of software!! Any chance of having a test at it?
I've got a couple of things I need to do, a confirmation box on the delete device/event menu, and a background image on the add device screen as I;ve had a weird problem with the scrollview squashing the background picture when the virtual keyboard displays on the screen.
Once i've done this I'll get together a tme limited beta so you can all have a look and make any suggestions.
If all is ok then i'm gonna put this one on the market for a couple of quid and see if people like it.
I know it's not going to be a big seller as it is currently limited to homeseer and I really can't be bother to write a full HA app for the pc .
Homeseer does everything I need but the web interface is far to clunky for th mobile. I know you can use the touchpad interface but I find having coded real buttons and UI speeds things up so it is actually usual.
I'll keep you all informed. I may do some screen grabs later to show you what i'm working on.
Matt.

Add me to your list of interested parties.

Matt this looks great! I'd love to give this a trial. I'd pay for this if it's as good as it looks. Can we get a time limited trial?
Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying i've been a bit busy the last few weeks.
I've sorted out pretty much all the things I needed to for Version 1. Just need to sort out one last thing and then I'll do a time limited beta for those interested.
I also need to write some simple manuals to show how to set it all up. It really is quite simple. I expect there are many other features that I could include but I just want it to be quicj to configure and I want it to work! I used it for all my x10 stuff over the last couple of months and it works flawlessly in my environment.
On the pc side all you need to do is copy a single script file info the homeseer folder. I'll prob package this up as an MSI to make things easier for people.
Thanks for the interest.

Excellent Matt. Will we be able to use this over the data network or will it be wifi only? I'm constantly having problems with homeseer on the standard hero browser with lockouts.
Hi,
Ok, a very good question and one that I already have asked myself.
At the moment you enter the web address of the homeseer web server nto droidseer for it to send the commands to. This address can either be a internal ip address which can then be used over wifi or an external address (dyndns, no-ip etc) that can be accessed from gprs/3g.
I seem to remember that if you try to access an external address using a dyndns/no-ip address from your internal network it doesn't work always as you get your external ip address back which can't be accessed from your inside network.
I'll have to do some testing as i'm even confusing myself here!
I think my final idea was to be able to configure multiple addresses to connect to the homeseer server, if one fails it will try the next. This way if you are home on wifi it will use the inernal address, if you are away from home it will use the external adresss.
Simples!
Matt.
Sounds good Matt! Like i said i have issues with the standard browser using dyndns. Not sure why but it would seem the browser does not retain its password info for homeseer and after 3 connects you get locked out. When your using homeseer and the android browser across gprs/3G and dyndns do you experience this problem? I'm led to believe it's a security feature in homeseer to stop unauthorised access. Not sure if SSL connection would resolve this. I have the same problem using safari on the iphone. Windows mobile does not seem to have this problem as my experia worked perfectly.
Cheers,
John
Hi all,
I believe I now have a version ready for some real world testing. It works fine in my environment and I use it everyday so we'll see how it goes.
It is a fully featured Time Limited version that will expire on the 1st December so it gives you a while to have a play around and see what you think.
There is an APK file for install on your phone, a script file that needs to be copied onto the pc running homeseer and a PDF Manual explaining how to set it all up.
If you are interested in giving it a test then please PM me with your e-mail address and what version of Homeseer you are using just so I know what it has been tested on.
Thanks for your interest.
Matt.

Ok,
Droidseer Beta is now live on the Android Market in Beta form ready for some testing for whoever wants to give it a go!
The website is now live too at http://www.spvsoft.co.uk/droidseer
There you'll find everything you need to know including the User Guide.
Hope you like it and be sure to let me know what you think!
Matt.
Off topic here, but someone know if there is a WM app too for X10 automation?
I used to use Promixis NetRemote and the HSGirder plugin for Homeseer. It worked fine but you had to completely design your own interface in the designer program and the buttons are all hard coded. So when you add a new device to your system you have to edit your design and add the new button. That was the main reason why I designed DroidSeer to be Dynamic.
Get an Android device I used to always have WinMo devices ever since the first SPV but Microsoft missed out on the whole app market thing and I think they are a little too late to the game now. Most developers have moved on the iphone or android now.
Matt.

it is worth to try, bause i am working with a lot of IPcam stuff for hospitals on child stations. Will report back here.
I was looking for something like this a while back, will give it a try as it should save taking a web-cam away on business.
Will try out and let you know. First thing, would prefer cab install option if possible I know there are client drivers needed for windows side too I guess).
Noticed that the video overlay for the camera does not go when the program is closed. So far I've not been able to connect, but this is probably due to my network config at the moment (so will retry later).
I remember using this looong ago when I had my HTC Mogul... those were the days
how do i connect this to my server? i have set the ip adress and it cannot connect

I think you connect via the webcam driver settings. i.e. VLC
Media -> Open Capture Device
Select Video device name - it should be in the list
Configure - Will open if the device is present and you should be able to press connect. You might see it pop up a message on your device when you do (too quick to read - i guess connecting etc).
Hopefully you'll get the images coming through (I get coloured striped display but that is probably due to the network I'm currently on has proxies etc).
I tried to use it on my HTC HD2 running Artemis 58 with radio 2.15......
I cannot seem to connect it to my computer via WiFi. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Tried it on HTC-HD2
Hi,
Have tried this on my HTC-HD2 and it say register to use free period is over.
Any other solution?
Cheers!
Is this the same as this?

I've had success using it previously on my Blackjack II (WinMo 6.0). And I've tried to run it on my hTc Pure (WinMo 6.5), but it keeps freezing up.
so it is now pay ware so far we can see. For this there is a special forum thread. Possible the admin can move it to there...
But there is the other solution from rc colonel - RC Camera (Link). I working with that a very long time.

I use it a very long time now for parents who's childs are in a hospital. We have installed some axis ptz cams (4x) in a hospital near my home city (~ 20 KM). We advise this to the parents for the mobile device or via a website on the PC. I have informed rccolonel some time ago to have a special version, but i think he is no longer online or busy with android. So i hope he will read this .
BTW:
in my free time i am working in a special community for this kind of stuff (paper, color pens, toys, hospital clowns, and...and...and...).
BTW 2:
follow this link and you can download the latest beta from rc camera

rc-camera differs to this app since it's for using an ip-camera and the phone as a monitor, where this one attempts to use the phone's camera as the web-cam. I like the idea, but so far it doesn't work the way I've tried it (clearly it's not trivial thing to code).
BTW:
Well (to be slightly off topic here) I'll let you know if I get on with an Android app I have planned which will be suitable for children reading, might end up being of use. Can't get a better cause than that to be involved with!
cant seem to get it working
i installed the cab and that automatically installed it on my phone (omnia i900) when i open the app on my phone it displays the camera, but when i tap the "start" button it kinda freezes, the little rotating icon ippear and its like "thinking" but it never really conects, right now am using "mobiola web camera" and it does work but i dont like the output quality of it, the resolution and quality es too low, so i tought id try this put, but nope, nothing.
could i be doing something worong?... oh by the way, am using this on windows 7 x64.
Edit: aparently i got it working.

Hello XDA, I am updating this post to now reflect that this thread is a development thread versus a general thread.
What is OpenFit?
OpenFit is aimed to be an open source alternative to the Gear Fit Manager (which cannot be run natively on non-samsung devices), with hopes that it will provide most/all of the features provided by the Gear Fit Manager app and possibly even more. That being said, this application is in early development and lacks a lot of features.
What can it do?
Connect to the Gear Fit
Auto Connect
Sync time with the Gear Fit
Toggle 12-Hour/24-Hour clock
Media Controller
Alarm notifications (stock android clock app, cannot dismiss alarm from Gear Fit)
SMS notifications
MMS notifications (does not show mms content)
Weather notifications (currently only english support)
Weather clock style
Phone calls notifications
Reject phone calls (quick reply doesnt work yet)
Find device
Email notifications (does not grab the contents of email, that data is protected)
3rd party apps notifications
Pedometer data
Google Fit Sync
This app was developed using firmware: R350XXU0BOA2
Download from Google Play: Open Fit
How to install:
Download from google play
Run OpenFit application
How to upgrade/downgrade firmware:
Tutorial provided by user: @LilLowEK
Tutorial here
How to debug:
Install and Open CatLog app (Free on google play)
Press Menu key on you phone to bring up the record button
Press record and when prompted for file name, add filter with text 'OpenFit'
Press okay, it will begin to record logs for OpenFit.
Perform the action you are trying to debug (try doing it a few times, this helps me figure out the cause of bug)
When completed, stop the recording by tapping on the CatLog notification.
Email or pm me the logs so I can try fixing the bug

How did I make OpenFit
The first thing i decided to do, was to try to research on how the phone and watch communicated. For this I enabled Bluetooth HCI snoop log in the developer options in the CM rom. This would log all traffic from bluetooth. I factory reset my watch and then connected it with the Gear Fit Manager app. I sent/received a test messages, using custom apps and text messages. I then stopped logging bluetooth traffic, and began inspecting the logs using wireshark. For each new connection after a factory reset of the watch, the Gear Fit Manager checks to see if a Firmware update is available and then sends most of the data to the watch; updated texts, images, predefined text etc. Then shortly after I began seeing the logs for the text messages and custom messages. For text messages, nothing was needed, but for custom messages, the app will send to the watch the image of the app along with some metadata, such that the watch can now receive the custom type message (think facebook messenger). So now that I had a nice data set to work with I tried connecting to the watch using androids BLE connections, but I could not connect successfully with it, and so I tried using the BT RFcomm and that worked (I can try to revisit BLE, now that I have more knowledge). Now that I can connect, I tried sending messages (messages from the BT snoop log), however I didnt have any success with this. I realized on each connection, the watch will require a message as a handshake and to my surprise the message was "ODIN" (Samsung's software to flash firmware). After I sent the "ODIN" message, that watch now acknowledge OpenFit and would accept incoming messages. Shortly after I was able to figure out the protocol for sending messages to the watch specifically, setting time and sending a general message. For each type of message, the packet that is sent is different, which is why it time consuming to figure out how to send a particular message. This is where I currently am in the development, I was only able to get this far by using the BT snoop log in conjunction with a decompiled Gear Fit Manager app which I used as a reference. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.
Hi!
The idea is good, but with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/general/diy-gear-fit-samsung-devices-lollipop-t3004234
I've been able to make it work on my Nexus 5 on Lollipop.
Maybe the real need is a open community that work on official gear fit manager and patch it, or develop a script to auto patch the last release of the apk!
I think that a open source project is a good idea. The original gear fit manager has too many problems and limitations (with non Samsung device).

yes ! i think like this .... make a new app for managing and make connection to non samsung devices please .... think this is a good way ....
hope for the release soon
will follow the thread !!!
This is not a development thread yet, so it's good to keep it here to get some attention.
Once you start to develop something, you should post it in the development section, otherwise it'll be overrun by "general" posts and threads.
Good initiative though!
I would use it, especially if alarms could work. I bought it knowing its limitations with non samsung devices, but nothing has happened so I'm not using the thing as much as I could
Thanks, @NeoS I'll only post in Dev if I can get a connection with the gear working.
Get fitness sensors data from GF
It would be great to have data extracted from the device. For example it would be a good idea to import data into Google Fit application or just store it to an Excel file.
So I vote "yes" for this reverse engineering project. :good:

i would to try this app but i need an apk to install it on my device
would love an open source app!!!
Very good idea, I would like to test your .APK in the future.
I would love to see this happen, getting this to do more and open it up and getting more out of it that samsung never planned would be awesome!!:good:
Sorry guys, I'll try to resume working on this.
Hey guys, thanks for all the positive feedback. sorry I havent worked on the app for a long time, I stopped at when trying to learn how to connect to the device, and then got very busy as I am working on multiple projects and work. I'll try to figure out how to connect to the device via this app. I'll also try to update to the latest firmware to see if anything has changed or become easier. I would be more than willing to accept anyone who would like to help out. :good:
I am also using strava app alot, and google fit, and would love to see if i can get metrics from the device and use it to sync with google fit
Galaxy Tab tester
This is a great idea!
I would love to sync my Gear Fit with my Galaxy Tab 4 using an app that works. Gear Fit pairs with the Tab, but the data won't sync, even though Samsung apparently included the Tab as a compatible device...
I've had limited success with the EndoMondo app, but EndoMondo doesn't seem to pull any data from Gear Fit's native software. I also saw a Youtube video that mentioned the 'Lose It' app worked with Gear Fit, but I did not have any success there either...
Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Cheers,

I'd like to help in anyway I can. I use a Nexus 5 and a Gear Fit. and have access to a Stock Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I don't know Java, but I do know some C++, and QML. Are you only planning on re-implementing the Gear Fit Manager? Or are you thinking about maybe working on more the fitness features side? Or both? PM me if you want to work together on this, I'm generally pretty good at figuring things out. I remember I looked into the Fitness with Gear side more than the Gear Fit Manager Side, rather than the Gear Fit Manager side. It might be interesting to look at libpebble, since Hexxeh basically did what we need to do except for a different device. I think it'd be nice to try to write an app in such a way it's easily portable to other platforms. (I personally really like sailfish...)
Unfortunately I also work, and am generally pretty tired by the end of the day.
Thanks, Core2idiot
thanks @Core2idiot, I left off on actually trying to make a connection with the device. Like you said, Its hard getting started once you've gotten stuck. But i'll try my best to get back on it
Sorry

Sorry I'm new... but just to be sure... is possible use Aerlink: Wear Connect for iOS on Gear Fit with any pc program. Or use Ble Utility for connect it on iPhone? Because when I try the App always disconnects.
@becket As far as my testings, you cannot connect to the Gear Fit, using any of the tools on the market such as BLE testers. I think I am "near" getting the connection paired. When you first connect your device, is shows your a security pin, both on phone and on watch. I am what I think close to figuring out how to do that. I have a bunch of decompiled files Im looking trough so its not fun. But hopefully I can figure it out.
I think I successfully connected(paired) with the device. I was trying to do it with Bluetooth low energy, but turns out, The first time needs to be done with the old Bluetooth protocol! I have yet to still find out how to convince the gear fit that i am gear fit manager so it can begin operating.
