Nope because the Hardware are totally different (no Bosch sensor hub in the TS1) but the Source Code of the TS+ has been released to XDA.

Any word on the true smart +? Delivery successful? Any comments on performance, UI, size, differences between ts+, ts-i and original ts?
Thanks.
where can I get source code for ts+ or maybe someone has link to it's firmware...
Thanks.
Only found this: https://plus.google.com/+LaurentLePen/posts/aVjTKcBjKa5
Looks like it is an full ALPS environment, maybe it is possible to port it to the old ts?

Omate saying they released it to/on XDA is like me ordering delivery and claiming I "made" dinner.

I'm not him, but I ordered my ts+ on November 30th, and was told that it would go out in the mail by the end of last week, and that a tracking number would be given to me. It is one week later, and I have not received the tracking, nor the watch. I emailed the omate support address, and have not received a reply.
Received a TS+ a few hours ago.
Pretty useless without the ability to access the Play Store though.
However, Laurent LePen said they're planning to release an update next week to fix it.
I was able to install Google search and google now launcher, but google play store won't work without "google play services" and I haven't found a version of that .apk that will not keep crashing on the Truesmart+
Since google play services keeps crashing, the play store stays on a "Checking Info" screen that keeps spinning and spinning...
got my plus with no instructions. Sent email, reply "no instructions come to this forum". Not a clue on how to load programs, get it to receive notifications even though it says connected. Not much fun with my new toy. Not planning to use a sim, just link to my android.
The load cradle does not fit to the watch.... so it does not charge!

They wont release it at all am I right?

Hi.. Can someone who received + version make rom backup and upload it here...
Thx
Maybe this helps... https://twitter.com/omateofficial/status/679964505531617282
I have the source. Once the holidays are over I'll spend some time unpacking it and pushing it to my repo. Get it while you can. Last time I was hit with a DCMA for uploading the KK source.

That is not true, Omate did share the source code with Kunosan on G+ on Nov 20th so I invite you to double check.
As for the "No one should" well... your post engages yourself and we hope to serve you in the future
kuronosan is not XDA, so "released to xda" is still not accurate. If Omate had released to xda then there would be a post where Omate either linked to a GIT, torrent, or zip of the source. So the "released to xda" claim is not accurate and a bit self serving.

The TS+ is a standalone smartwatch connected to the telecom network or to Wi-Fi.
You can easily install Android apps (APK file) for example: open the browser of your TS+ and go to http://m.apps.store.aptoide.com/
Otherwise if you already have some APK file in your laptop, you can copy / paste them into your TS+ and install them.
First go to settings / storage / click on the USB computer connection then connect it to your laptop via the Ocharger and paste the file in your progam file, then install the APK and the app will be in your TS+

Does anyone have news on when we are getting this update?
Now that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is going on sale officially in NYC on June 8 WITH 3.1, I hope it is soon!
I just emailed the Samsung dev email from the Google I/O Device page. Hopefully I receive a meaningful response.

I guess nobody got any luck in response. I say all that receive there Limited Edition 10.1 email Samsung until they put a press release or reply to someone. This is so unprofessional on there behalf.
I did and will everyday til i get something,,,,logic would dictate there is not going ot be an update for 3.1 since all the tabs coming out have it so hopefully they do something or it will be avail to load once the tabs come out

Which I agree.. Just don't understand as to why these where handed out to developers when its design to be tested for 3.1.... Especially when there is no option for United States OTA.

I think part of the reason it was handed out (besides publicity for Samsung) was to get some developers a real 3.X device to do any development on, and write some app, any app. Google needs Honeycomb apps up on the market, bad. At that point not having 3.1 yet isn't that big a deal. The Honeycomb emulator is a pile of suck and Google admitted as much at the conference, so this is a way to get people making stuff.
And if they can't directly OTA these things up to 3.1 from the gimped version of 3.0 that's on them right now, that doesn't seem like that big a deal. Google/Samsung can always email people instructions to go flash a zip; if you got on a plane to SF to go to an Android developer conference then an "adb push" and reboot should be a piece of cake for you

Thank you for using Personal Space as the way for sharing your photos and videos privately with your family and friends.
We're very excited to announce that as part of a service update, from April 25, 2012, Personal Space will be re-named PlayMemories Online and will only be accessible through the Sony Entertainment Network. As part of this change, you will be given 5 GB of storage space.
Your current photos and videos in Personal Space will be made available through PlayMemories Online automatically.
PlayMemories Online uses the same login credentials as Sony Entertainment Network so you will need to use your Sony Entertainment Network Sign-in ID and Password to access your PlayMemories Online account.
*The Personal Space service will be temporarily unavailable prior to launch of PlayMemories Online.

I didn't use mine, but have it stashed away...just in case.
In the last few years, I've become more of a leave it stock person.
My previous devices, Dell Streak 5, Galaxy Note1 (international), needed root, new kernels, new OS just to make
them work properly, but, for me anyway, quite frankly, all I've had to do with my Mate2, is charge it up and turn it
on. Probably one of the most stable devices I've used, since my old analog & digital Motoroal Star-Tac flip phone.

I have a Dell Streak 7 and still have the original Note 1 (though neither is getting any action lately). I am usually a tinkerer but I have to agree with you that this phone is not too shabby on stock. I am glad I have root so I can delete some of the bloat.

Sorry, the photo was kind of small and I had trouble reading it. So, no, not Brush Unlock.
When I follow the link in the OP I then log in using my Huawei account that I created previously. Then I am taken to a page to download the new EMUI 3. I click on the download link and at the top, right of that page (just above the pics of the different phones) is a link for "Unlock Bootloader". Previously this took me to the tool to unlock the bootloader. Today it just takes me in a loop, back to the original page to download the EMUI 3. So, it appears that not only does it not work, they have now really broken it.
If you want to PM me your information I will try and get your unlock code. I would need:
Serial Number:
IMEI:
Also, please confirm that you have an MT2-L03, the US version of Ascend Mate 2.

Yea, I remember it showing the "unlock bootloader" link a while back which is what I was initially looking for lol. I Sid some googling earlier and found the actual link that lets you put in the information but I don't think it's been updated at all lol. No option for this device. All international. They need to link up with HTC and learn from them about how to handle this kind of stuff since it is web based.

I was so happy I got to their screen and it had MT2-L03 as a model number
but it doesn't work for me as welll....sigh
gotta wait for the emails i guess.....
I think it's only north american devices that don't work with that tool? or is it WIND specific
What happens is that just bought a LCD 18.5 android and passes it as the purchase of second-hand installed I android made by the same ducotech company and is highly restricted to the extent that I can not install app do not even like walking mode recovery but what if you can is to enter uboot way, but still shows like flashtools or livesuit not serve me because I find no rom the web
Model DT185-ACA-720
Baseband Version 1.5rc5
Kernel Version 3.0.8+
Android version 4.1.1
I'm looking for the same thing, I dumpster dive and I found this same awesome touchscreen display running Android. I haven't had any luck installing any apps, and the only thing I can do is go through the very limited setting menu. Any help would be awesome
Have you guys had any luck with this? The unit doesn't even recognize apk files, much less give me the option to install them.
It looks like some other people have found Amiibo kiosks and want to hack them. I've got one too. The information posted in the OP is what I know so far. It would be cool to be able to install some other apps or even get a custom version of Android running on these things. I'm sure other people are looking for information on them. Since the Nintendo Switch was released, these things are in the wild either through dumpster diving or knowing people at the retail stores. They could make for a very cool game room project if someone can provide a little information on the http://www.ducotech.com/ displays.
The only thing I was actually able to do was make it play movies. But for some reason it restarts after a few minutes, as if it has an auto restart set to a specific time.
How were you able to make it do that? I can't even get it to do that.

So it seems as if, for full functionality, we need the security dongle. I wonder if this can be bypassed in any way.

I would even be willing to purchase the security dongle, if I could find it. I plan to use this display for a non-profit organization that raises money for other charities. We want to use it as digital signage.

Good luck finding one, you would need to find someone who works for the company that provides the displays. And I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap either. It's like selling someone's codes for their bank account. If a security dongle got out and was duplicated, that could be harmful for their business.
I found some workarounds and posted them here here:

Hello, since Firmware Finder cannot enforce updates anymore, is there any alternative that does not require root? Honor really sucks at delivering updates, in FF I can see version 8.1.0.143 while I'm still on 131, this was always a pain in the ass for Honor devices but previously I always thought "who cares, I can force it via FF", well now I do care and this will be my last Honor device if I can't get the updates to work.
Thanks for any advice.
I just hate people like you who keep trowing dirt at companies for this sh*t about updates.
143 was just released, not long ago, cant you have patience a bit?you have the previous version, so at what do they suck?you have june or july sec update i bet.

I'm sorry but if someone like Apple were to announce an iOS update for a specific day, you would expect it to be available on that day and it most likely would be. Honor told us that the update would be on August 3rd for the EU, yet here I am 3 days later in the UK unable to see 143/145. This would be relatively fine, if they hadn't made several posts on their Twitter accounts saying things like "update now!" and "have you updated yet?", and also made a competition on this very forum with a 10 day deadline, meaning if someone like me wanted to enter they would be 3 days behind anyone else already.

Hello, since Firmware Finder cannot enforce updates anymore, is there any alternative that does not require root? Honor really sucks at delivering updates, in FF I can see version 8.1.0.143 while I'm still on 131, this was always a pain in the ass for Honor devices but previously I always thought "who cares, I can force it via FF", well now I do care and this will be my last Honor device if I can't get the updates to work.
Thanks for any advice.

Sorry what? "certified by Google"? If the update has already come out in other regions/countries then surely it's already good to go, and the blame rests on Huawei/Honor for not pushing it to all the relevant regions/devices (which I'm sure they're able to do without doing it in waves, otherwise they wouldn't be telling everyone it's available now...)

Certification goes by country my friend. Thats the main reason why it goes in waves. If you are so much in rush you can use no check recovery and then you will see its not certified by Google . So yes its Google to blame because huawei have the update ready.

You know, before I started using Firmware Finder on one of my previous phones, I was a year without an update. So that's what they suck at.

Really? It was my understanding that not being "certified by Google" was something that stopped your specific device from being updated, and that each manufacturer organised their own OTA updates (to me it doesn't make much sense for Google to be certifying Huawei, Samsung, etc. updates, as surely those companies have their own teams to test this stuff?).
Even so, I spoke with Honor customer service earlier today and all "Shane" could tell me was to "hold on". He even said he agreed that it's a bit silly for Honor to tell everyone it's available when really it isn't, but that there's nothing else they can do

Its not about huawei. Its about google security. Having or not their own team to test things doesnt mean they have access to google suite. Certification grants you access to google play, google pay and certain banking apps. If google did not check the updates for certain bugs, hacks etc then the update will stay on hold and as i said from country to country banking systems, telecommunication security systems are different.
Little miss leading social media , yes gpu boost is rolling out in certain regions this is normal practice for honor again it's region based batches at a time , the UK is always the last to get it , honor phones are not like say a OnePlus global device were as soon as a update rolls say in Canada first, you can set a VPN to Canada and download it even though your region hasn't got update yet , that would be nice but honor phones have tons of different region build numbers so unfortunately it's a waiting game for us in UK , I applied for the gpu boost beta and that wasn't being announced till 13th and haven't heard a thing since [emoji848]

Is there actually an alternative to FF? I just want to download the .zip and cannot update it via the phone.
FF doesnt have the current Firmware "C432E2R1P5" für my Honor 9
€: Nvm. I found it, its the B162. But anyway are there other website who gather Honor/Huawei Firmwares?
