Hi guys i'm trying to simplify a project i am about to embark to make a proof-of-concept "Android spy watch" lol.
I havent found anything like this anywhere on the net however i feel that i may have found all the pieces to the puzzle. I just need a little help putting them together.
The idea for my project is to start with a Android OS wrist watch and install OTR plugin & messenger. Lastly i will need the the OS to be somehow LIVE as to see it does not save any type of data (logs). I'm wondering how possible it would be to boot the OS from a SD-card ?.
So there it is i'll list all the hardware and see if anyone can come up with a simple fix. I appreciate greatly any time or opinions anyone has to offer.
Android Wrist Watch - Z1 Android Wrist Watch Mobile Phone
CPU / Memory / Operating System
MediaTek MT-6513 650MHz Dual Core Processor
DDR: 4GB ROM; 2GB RAM;
FREE 8GB MicroSD Card
Android 2.2 Froyo Operating System
SD CARD
I plan to use the WIFI function of the watch to connect when needed to chat with IM.
To my knowledge IM+ supports OTR plugin.

Hey everyone, my name is Ian. I'm kind of new here, at least in a participatory role as wiki master of the Photon 4g's Sunfire dev team/collaboration. I have some talent in the world of web coding, but I'm useless at real programming.
I also have a rather nasty addiction to the world of flight simming, mostly as stand in for real flight time that I'm trying to orchestrate as I work towards a private pilot's license. Anyways, my program I use for flight simulation is X-plane and lacks in 3rd party applications that it can interface with, especially on the Android side. I would like to help to put together an Android app that can work with the sim and control basic functions. My current goal is to control radio systems and autopilot functions. To interface with the sim, I plan to use the Simulator Control System which is based on the CAN Aerospace protocol. This is cross sim application, so whatever works with X-plane will also work with Microsoft flight sim. I've been looking at the website, http://cross-simulator.com/, and I think that this seems like a fairly easy task. All the functions and commands are well documented and supported (there is even an example android code), I just don't know how to start. If anyone in this great community has some advice, I'd love to hear it because I really have no clue.
Thanks, and happy dev'ing
I would just download the example, import it in Eclipse and run it on the Android emulator (assuming you have downloaded and installed the Android SDK). Later, you can tweak the example code as you become more comfortable.
Hi all,.
I've been set a project to design a basic application for our powerwall (28 connected high res monitors) and design an android application to control the powerwall through the android phone.
Im told the powerwall must use OpenGL..what does this exactly mean?
Can anyone run me through the stages ill need to go through and how i would get my andorid application to talk to the linux pc?
More details of the system or implementation can be provided if you need it.
Any help big or small would be amazing.
Thankyou,
Tom
Hi there folks.
I'm new to Android system, but I'm a lone wolf of Linux and Unix system administration.
I have some question about it's resource management.
As I have searched, Android manages the device memory as a pool where it lays the apps pre-loaded in a priority-fashion, layered from 1 to 6, closing what is no longer necessary and keeping recently used/most used apps loaded for fast paced use.
Is that correct?
Also, I want to know more about memory and processor management.
Speciffically if I can use the same concept of memory management in Linux and Unix systems in Android. I'm thinking about developing scripts for memory and processor optimizing (to save memory use and processor time for the sake of battery duration).
I searched but couldn't find any reliable documentation on it.
Could you enlight those for me?
Thanks in advance,
Rafael Umbelino
Hi folks, just want to say before I start, i'm not a developer, i'm a marketing person for a few phone companies.
I work with a company who are currently purchasing an MTK6589 based device called the Defender from China.
It's running Android 4.2.2.
Tasks Required:
Re-mapping of SOS and PTT buttons
Some of the app partners looking to use the handset want to map buttons so that they can use the handset with their apps but on smaller order quantities this is difficult for the factory to manage.
The intents given by the factory don't appear to work which I believe might be because they are already being used by the CallForHelp app and the built in Walkie Talkie app.
We require a build of the OS on there but with intents from each button that are open to apps picking them up.
Idle Running Processes Setup
Additionally we found out that when the handset goes into idle mode it actually stops a lot of the running processes. We've had one software version done that keeps the accelerometer running and another app partner managed to force open the bluetooth connection when connected to a bluetooth speaker accessory but ideally we'd like to get this looked at and see what processes would be best to keep running.
For this we are looking to work with a UK based developer and in the future we will require more assistance with the handset, if you're interested then please reply to this thread or drop me a message and we can chat further.
Thanks, Ben.
OK here's a question for all you android-heads: How to get rid of it ???
Android was originally developed as open source but then Google 'bought it' and converted it to a proprietory system which requires a Google 'account' which colates and tracks personal info across devices and systems. Huawei may finally give us a way out of the Yank back-end snooping problem but that can only be defeated by getting rid of the American OS (Android and IOS) which steal and pass all data directly to American authorities and companies. What happened to privacy ???
Sailfish, Ubuntu touch and Tizen may be useful but it would be infinitely better if we could install our own Linux versions and take back control.
The 'newspeak' labelled "Smartphones' remind me of the old 8088 computers from the 1980's that could hardly be used as they were so basic. "Smartphones' are so very very basic that you cannot even access the root to install your own OS and software. Surely someone can link the ideals of the Rapberry Pi to the advanced hardware of the "Smartphone" to get a device that can actually be used normaly ! THAT will be the day! Oh and by the way - in Australia there existed "Communicators" - just like a "Smartphone", but without Sim cards, using only wi-fi and telephony with mVoIP (but that didn't give billions of $' to the phone companies...) We seem to be going backwards technologically Over and out....
Update 22.12.2019:
A new (really) open source Linux phone has just been announced - the Pine-Phone which can run any Linux system. Details at fossmint pinephone-an-open-source-smartphone-for-linux
Install Armbian if it's kernel supported hardware that you can build a map for. Otherwise there isn't really an option, irritating as that is.
