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.
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.
Is rooting the device even a thing? I know it runs Tizen instead of Android

Gear Fit doesn't have Tizen OS. He has RTOS (Real-Time OS). Gear 2/Neo can be rooted, but I thing there is no way how to do that on Gear Fit, because there is no need to. We need CUP libs for developing apps, because they are missing in actual version of SDK.

I can't find anything in the samsung CUP documentation provided in your cup library download you gave us , or in the official documentation about how to add vibration as a property to the alert, or notification, or how to "officially" use the android CUP stuff to cause say, a custom alarm.
Say if I wanted to create a customizable alarm app that is compatible with CUP and the gear fit for instance, and I want to send a vibration (type) of notification to the gear fit which causes it to vibrate for a long period of time..
(without stopping) until say a menu item is pressed on the fit.
How would I do that?
Is such a thing possible for third party developers? Please help me.
THanks.
raw sensors from samsung gear fit
is it possible to get raw 3D accelerometer and gyroscope signals from samsung gear fit ?
if so how ?
Any possibility to add vertical aka portrait mode?
Dear zwegnet,
First of all thank you so much for your effort to enable Gear Fit development by providing CUP SDK.
It seems 1.0 version of SDK was developed when portrait mode was not available on Gear Fit as it was added in some of FW updates. Thus, ScupDialog seems not to have any method to turn the picture or get current screen orientation.
Of course, maybe protocol itself does not have the command for this, but I expect there can be some way embedded into the protocol.
Is there any chance to investigate that and make new version of CUP SDK with screen orientation feature detection/change enabled?
Problem with App Connect
Hello,
First of all thanks for that API, but I got one problem with it. When I use my gear fit app connect to run application it's doesn't provide any information that the application has been launched with the gear fit, it would be better if I could create a Listener or something like that because now when I use app connect it's run my application on phone and I don't know who started running the application, user on the phone or on the gear fit, if it goes from gear fit I would like to create Dialog on it, but when it's from phone I would like to only resume application, but didn't show anything on the clock, so use method onResume is not possible.
If you know how to solve this problem I would be very grateful.
How to run the app.
Hi,
I have made the app as per your given example. I have s3 (android version ) and gear fit. I have connected my gear fit with android.
After installing the apk in my phone, when I open it , it is throwing error "unforthunately fitapp has stopped".
Do i need some type of settings in my gear fit or s3?
Trouble with Gear Fit CUP SDK Example
I grabbed the example App "CUP_SDK_SAMSUNGINTERNAL.zip" from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/development/samsung-gear-fit-sdk-available-t2872803
When I open the example in Android Studio as an Android Studio project it creates a Gradle App is that what it is supposed to do? If so is there a way to run an Android app like that? There are no android packages visible.
how start the apps in gear fit manager?
Once created the app in eclipse and installed the apk in the phone, how to start it in gear fit? just connect to gear fit and start the app?
Thanks for the sdk!!!
CUP SDK Samsung Gear Fit
On the Gear Fit, Is there a way to listen broadcasts associated with the GEAR FIT power button. I would like to tie an event to multiple button presses just like the emergency messaging "SAFETY ASSISTANCE Send help messages"?
Hi,
would it be possible to get the raw accelerometer data from the gear fit whit that?
Thanks,
mac

Hi
No, it's not posible. Samsung CUP is only for creating user interface of Gear Fit Apps.
At this time only Samsung apps (S-Health, Fitness, ..?) have access to device sensors.
Getting IllegalStateException
Hi there,
I came across this Thread and would like to try writing an app for my gear fit. But when I use the sample Code in the Documentation, the only thing i get is an IllegalStateException: Scup is not initialized
Code:
04-01 15:00:52.748 29498-29498/de.chrosey.gearfitone E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL EXCEPTION: main

...
I tried using the suggested
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY" />
but it didn't help.
I am testing on s4 lollipop stock Rom.
Can Somebody help me?
Lollipop compatibility
Is there any compatibility with Android 5.0 and newest version of Gear Fit Manager? Because i've got this error: java.net.BindException: cannot bind service and don't know what to do
Thanks

Help with sensors in gear fit CUP
Hi everybody!
I have just installed Android Studio and I tried to make a wearable application using CUP's library.
Thanks to some guides I attempted it, but I have no idea about how I can collect data from Gear Fit's sensors, especially the heart rate.
Thanks!!
It is not possible to direct access to sensor data. The only way to get that information is through S Health service.
As Verge has NFC I am wondering is there a modified apk or something that would enable use of Google pay?
I mean no way! Amazfit based on Android, but its a closed system. I would be also happy if somebody port on it Wear Os,with working Play Store.

All three Amazfit Android watches are MIPS based, so very little chance of a Wear port, especially Wear OS.
