For those who are annoyed of missing artist pictures, this tool adds pictures from last.fm, your picture hub or any link to pictures from the web.
Informations on using the app:
-The artist may not be associated with any picture. It's not possible because the hacked method doesn't give us access to existing pictures. The tool can just add - no replacement - sorry
-The created dummyfiles are grouped in one album called ...dummy. Even you edited hundreds of artists in a row you can just delete the ...dummy album.
-using a high resolution and compression quality can result in glitchen and lags skipping to another artist during playback. The default settings works well but maybe you guys want to search for the optimal quality

GREAT!!!
wanderfull
i need this from ages
TY

Hello my name is Daniel, im developer too. Can i help you with this project? I used to listen all kind of music around the wolrd... American, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian, etc... but only americans have artist photo at the zune marketplace.
I'm very interested. I would like to contribuite.. what to you think?
Ps.. sorry my bad english...

Sounds like a great app but I've got a problem: When I open it I can choose the name of an artist but when I tap on a name just the name is shown on the screen and there are no pictures to choose from.
Do you have an idea what problem it could be?
EDIT: The phone isn't connected to my PC and I've got an internet connection on my phone via WLAN.

Sometimes it takes some time to load the images. How long did you wait?

About 10 minutes...
EDIT: Un- and reinstalled the app once and it's working now. Really cool

I was JUST looking for something like this a couple days ago . Fantastic . Thank you .

Could be possible to delete some files if you set your device to usb-mass-storage-"mode".

Works perfectly on my Omnia 7, thank you!!

Let me know the size and format of the icon and I'd be honored to make one
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Excellent tool, just what we have been waiting for.
Suggestions...
Examine contents of media and highlight artists which don't have the background picture
Delete the ...dummy so you dont have to exit, open Zune then find the artist and delete the ...dummy then re-open
Lastly is it possible to update the artist picture in Zune? its great having the backgrounds showing on my phone but when I play from my PC they don't have pictures?
Either way this is still excellent as I was getting really sick and tired of editing track properties to make Zune find the pictures.

Cool app thank you

Problem with the app
It worked fine for the first couple of days, but now when I open the app and select an artist, when I see the preview and choose to select the picture the app closes and does not save the new artwork. I tried unistalling and reinstalling the app but its not working, it still does the same thing. I'm running a Samsung Focus on Mango 7740. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, what can be done about it? Thanks

I had the same problem with the app closing, you will still have a song called ...Dummy somewhere and for whatever reason it cannot overwrite this file and just closes.
Open Zune, go to music then swipe to songs and it should be the top of the list. Tap and hold then delete.
Bit of a pain having to correct them one at a time then going back to Zune and deleting then back again. But its still better than no pictures.

[APP][Coll]Titanium Informer[PRJ] [WinMo6.5]

There are many apps, which can inform you about the things in which you are interested.
But what about - to get this informations direct in your Titanium?
e.g.:
- What's running on TV tonight? (TV_Journal)
- especially TV-Programm on PrimeTime today?
- Which movies are now in my local cinema and when does they start?
- Detailed Weather-Information for my town?
- Read the Newspaper most important reports?
- Worldwide News? Local News?
- Latest Sports Results - Soccer,Baseball,Basketball,...
- News from a special kind of Sport - Formula1, Soccer,...
- What's the latest new Posts in xda-devs, e.g. in new Posts (Apps) in Development&Hacking or for my Device (e.g. Diamond) ?
That would be a nice app, don't you think, too? But it's hard to adapt it to your personal interests, right?
No - it's not difficult - and this app already exists for free - but could be expanded. You know the word "RSS" - but you don't read RSS, right?
But: You mustn't know, that it is RSS - it's more important, to know, what you want to know.
RSS is only one of the standardized formats, which can be read programimatically and show the infos, you want, on your screen. Especially on your TitaniumPanel. And that's also the reason, why I made TitaniumRSS - I can have all the interests in one App - one internal App.
But I made a new Thread "Titanium Informer" - perhaps later on, we will see, if there are other formats, which are not RSS, and have things of interests of you. And so the Project could split later on. We will see.
But ther must be a Collection, to know, where you can access your personal information or where/how you can find it.
At first - here you can find the Download for the "Titanium Informer" - at the moment "TitaniumRSS" (QVGA,VGA,WQVGA,VGA) :
*Application TitaniumInformer/TitaniumRSS with Information & Download free*
*Direct Download Link of cab (now 1.1)*
You only need 2 more Apps, that everything runs:
- Mortscript 4.2 *Mortscript 4.2*
- JMLPanex >= 0.99 / better 1.0 *JMLPanex* ,so Titanium-Buttons are working
And now we can collect together the Informations (aka RSS-Feeds), which could be of interest. To be shown in Application, only look at the *description* - it's a simple edit of the Text-File TitaniumRSS.ini :​

Thanx lesscro, also now a little bit updated with some freeware sources like 1800pocketpc.com - Informations
Micha
awesome!
hey man, awesome plugin! got me interested in RSS feeds! im having some issues with it tho. so, where do i point where the RSS directory should be? any folder? where my RSS Hub channels are? when i click on the toggle/ full previw or whatever, it just sends me to my top titanium panel and usually freezes up the phone. i also cant figure out how to add a channel. so, mayb we could get a little tutorial? mayb, hopefully, i screwed up sumwhere. btw, im workin with a htc ozone runnin the latest 3vo rom. any help would be great. this is such a cool panel!
Thanx
I already wanted to make it faster.
In current version (1.1) you can add your feeds in TitaniumRSS.ini.
Perhaps you have only clicked the drect download link - because over there is already a tutorial (Post #2) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545831
At the moment TitaniumRSS and TitaniumInformer are the same apps - but I'm thinking about, to seperate them and not only showing RSS. But I'm not sure - perhaps I will keep it in one app with extensions.
My recommendation for choosed RSS-Folder is directly storage card (or perhaps is the name "internal storage" on your device)
While installing a subfolder is created automatically.
Have you installed TitaniumRSS to main storage like it's necessary for Titanium Plugins? Otherwise please reinstall it (in Preview Mode - never in Full Mode)
If you still see freezes, then I would need an export of your Registry:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome
and
HKCU/Software/TitaniumRSS
(you can do it easy with TotalCommander, just COPY them to your storage Card, then you have .reg-Files as Text)
Then I could have a look
And IF something happens: I have a double security system because of switching .cpr inside. You can switch to Preveiw Mode always by Startmenu (Utilities->TitaniumRSS) and your .cpr is in your choosen RSS-Folder in Subfolder "internal" - also together with a copy of SwitchBack-Script.
A little remark perhaps: Because of TitaniumRSS I develped TICS afterwards - a program which can be used to install Applications into each .cpr.
TitaniumRSS has an "internal" TICS - but uses in 1.1 older ATPluginInstaller - I wanted to change it with 2.0 (when I finished another little project... I only had not much time the last months to change it)
Thanx for your feedback
Greetings
Micha
hopin im just a noob...
ok so, figured out how to add/change the feeds. lots of stuff in this plugin man. you must have worked like heck over this.
in my opinion, id like to see two diffrent apps and and a combined. options. people like them.
ya, was installed on internal storage like all other titanium plugins.
so, i know nothing about programming. a little about the registry and .png files. anything else, well, pointed in the right direction i can prolly figure it out. so ya, heres my registry folders ya said you would need to look at.
hey, thanks man. for the quick response and helping me with your plugin. this is truly the most intricate and awesome plugin ive seen for titanium yet.
thanx for the nice words
yes-it was really hard work - it's more a complex app than a Titanium Plugin.
One little remark,if animations run slowly: you can resize each image to the half for your qvga-device (e.g. with IrfanView)
ok,I looked at Registry, and now I have some different suggestions:
1. I see an add-on to switch between Bronzelistview and Titaniumlistview.what's this app,which add these "feature"?
perhaps this could confuse analyser.could you switch to Titaniumlistview and choose Re-Analyse from Menu?
2. perhaps Analysis would throw an error message because of active FullView,even if you are in Preview Mode. I saw 2 inconsistent Registry-keys.Fullview is active,but cpr is original Titanium,not TitaniumRSS
Could you execute trssSwitchBack.mscr from /Internal storage/.../TitaniumRSSFeeds/Internal?
and then have a look if in hklm/software/microsoft/chome/Titaniumrss the key "fullviewactive" is then on "0"
if not,change it manually to 0
3. perhaps I made a bug,because the most tests are made with jmltoday as Top-Plugin.you could try 2 things (if you want) : make titaniumrss to top-plugin (in Faq explained) or install JMLToday and try it againwith Reanalysation.
please always consider-indifferent if you install a Plugin or reinstall TitaniumRSS or Reanalyse Titanium-switch to Preview Mode.
please feedback what has helped - and if you found out something else and have questions about,just ask.
Greetz
Micha
before i write a long one...
a couple quick questions before i lay it all out again.
do I HAVE to have TICS installed for this to install directly?
when you say you have JMLToday as your Top-Plugin, is that the same as the default plugin?
JML, really cool btw. will be playing around with that after we hopefully get this working.
a couple quick questions before i lay it all out again.
# ok
do I HAVE to have TICS installed for this to install directly?
# I made the last version of this app before I developed TICS,so it's not integrated so far.because of the FullView-Feature of TitaniumInformer (which is "TICS-light" ) it's not so easy to integrate TICS-Installer.
TICS is nothing which can bw downloaded and installed-it's integrated in much Titanium-Apps by the developers.so there are only a few download,but I would estimate it's already integrated in 100.000 installations on devices.
So I would recommend,if you don't use original Titanium...cpr:
1. Install TitaniumInformer, let the first analyse
run.
2. Copy part of TitaniumRSS from Titanium...cpr to your current .cpr
3. Restart Titanium
4.Re-Analyse again by Main Menu-then it should work and switch in all Themes
in 2.0 TICS will be certainly integrated.
when you say you have JMLToday as your Top-Plugin, is that the same as the default plugin?
# no.sorry-perhaps because English isn't my mother tongue:
Jmltoday is my top-most Plugin.With CHome-Editor set to top.that's needed if you want to have a not-default-Microsoft-Plugin to be default plugin.
Default Plugin is this Plugin,when you refresh Titanium or switch from an app to Titanium,which is selected(expanded). that's CClock usually,but changeable.E.g. jmltoday or TitaniumRss.what's top-most(because all other Plugins have the same GUID)
JML, really cool btw. will be playing around with that after we hopefully get this working.
# it works - sure
Greetz
Micha
ok...
so, that add on for bronze and titaniumlistview is something that came with ookba's 3vo rom. honestly, dont know what the difference is. I dont know if it was this option or, from going to the Tiatanium Panel Meda homescreen layout to the Titanium Panel Media Topbar layout but, one of these heled with the overall visuals in this panel and, another one actually.
I was able to find the switchback mscr and the fullviewactive in the registry. runnign the switchback changed the registry setting but, my homescreen was still frozen. not my phone entirely but, my homescreen. \
i also tried JMLToday and TitaniumRSS as my top plugins. no luck.
i thought you want to mention in further releases, that as of now, you have to have a default brpwser set to be able to open the feed in a browser. that took me a while to figure out.
so, im posting some files for you again, in case you wish to help me out further. im hoping this might help you out in further updates as well. i just dont know enough yet about .cpr's to feel comfortable with messing around with em. in the zip are 2 screen shots. pretty much everything is working for me with this now except the full view. the only other complaint is, is that the words on mine look like they are smushed together. that theres not enough room. thats what those shots are of. i included my reg folders again as they are now. i also included my .cpr's from titaniumrss and what im sure is my current .cpr. The titanium media topbar.cpr.
hate to be such a noob man but, i am picking up on stuff. hopin this feedback helps.
that zip..
heres that zip with that stuff in it man. again, hope this helps for further releases
Thanx for the explanation-if I'm at home,I will try to find out,what's th "speciality" of your ookba-Rom is.
TitaniumListView is the newer standard (therefore CHome is called Titanium) - the slider is always centered in the screen.
the older BronzeView the slider position variies with the positon of the active plugin.
for 2.0 noted:also in preview a feed can be read off- and online,ok? (opera,opera mini, ie)
Greetings
Micha
btw: I'm at the moment about another dev and have a lack of time because of office,too.but I will try is asap after first release of my new app.
cool
oh, ya, take your time man. I can only assume that someone that can write stuff like this is working on plenty of stuff. this thread will be staying in my bookmarks and Ill be checking it for updates. thanks for the help man.

Wave is by far the best phone in terms of its sleek design and the anodised aluminium body, along with its superb hardware. At the time it was launched, people were awed by it and it made people wonder why samsung had not loaded it with android. Well, the answer is here atlast - so that they could abandon our beloved wave and move on to more crappy OS development. heheh!!!
Anyways, just because 'sammy boy' left us does not mean we can't enjoy our wave. Out on the internet, there are so many fantastic java apps that they are somewhat far better than even the bada apps.
So, with that in mind, I humbly present to you - "The Wave Paradise". A thread, where you will find all you need to enjoy your wave for the time you move on to a better smartphone, that is actually smart.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
1] All the following apps have been tested throughly by Me and works brilliantly. Also, the tip regarding the permission pop-up removal is totally safe and does not cause any damage to your system file. Should you need to have the permission popup to return back, just uninstall the app and install it again. It will then again ask permission from you.
2] The following apps works flawlessly with all devices with bada 2.0. 8)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Java apps when installed ask for permissions each time they are made to access the network or the phone memory. This is irritating.
And so, to get rid of this, there are two methods. Both of them are given below:
METHOD 1: {Used for bada 1.X}
1)Open sTune. [If you don't have it, download it from the attachment]
2)Once it starts, click auto-connect, then go to browser.
3)When in the browser mode, go to " AppEx > User > Java > Games ". Here, you will find all your installed java apps.
4)Double-click your desired app, then click "appdb" and then right click the "settings.bin" file and select delete.
5)Then, open your java app and you will see no more permissions pop-ups.
METHOD 2: {Used for bada 2.X and all custom firmwares}
1)Install the app on memory card.
2)Connect the phone in "Mass Storage Mode". [ For this - Go to Settings>Connectivity>USB Utilities>Mass Storage. ]
3)Select the memory card when connected in mass storage.
4)Then, go to Others> [email protected]@[email protected]@__ > Games.
5)In here, you will find a folder with the name of your app.
6)Select the app folder you want to get rid of the pop-ups.
7)Then go to "appdb" folder and delete the "settings.bin" file.
8)And Voila!! No more annoying permission pop-ups.
9)Also, if you want, you can move the app to the phone memory if you like by disconnecting the "Mass Storage Mode" and then going to the "Java" on the phone and move it manually.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
1)Auto-Rotate
Now apps rotate between "Landscape" and "Portait" modes automatically. Use the apps in any orientation you like.
( Note that some of the apps in this thread have either "Landscape" or "Portrait" mode. That is for stability reasons. Almost all have autorotate. Those that don't are mentioned in that post itself.)
2) HD Icons
Unleash the full power of the "Super Amoled Screen"!!
3)Fullscreen
After all size does matter. Use the full screen of the wave.
4)Virtual Keypad Off
Adios ugly "Virtual Keypad"!! hehe!!
5)Background Working
Want to have multiple java apps running simultaneously? Well, now you can. Run upto 3 apps simultaneously and they will not pause in the background. Neat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Since, these Apps are tested by Me, you wont have any problems with them. But, if any problem arises with any of the apps in this thread, it will be sorted out by Me. For that, I will need :
1) A precise statement of your problem.
2) ScreenShots depicting that problem.
NOTE: Before Installing any App from this collection, make sure you delete any previous versions of that App. This is very important.

3)MultiLoader, that is used for "flashing" your waves. Very Important and the user interface has been improved.

hi, is this rom multilanguage?
Trying in a moment... Hope it has better perfomance and other languages than China...
From what i read, "baidu" is Chinese company modeled similar to Google and that these Baidu roms they release are optimized for those Baidu services. So I was expecting this rom to have all their Baidu content in it.
Okay, just flashed, everything went fine, lets see how it runs...

Only English and Chinese avaible.,
---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------
Okay... The rom itself runs pretty smooth in home screens and settings. But one big problem is Google apps. They arent included, and when i try to flash newest 4.2.2 jb gapps zip, i cant use phone because it gives google services crashed error popup. When i flash 4.3 gapps zip, it doesnt crash but google play says "no connection". Im trying to find a solution on this, tell me if you know something...
Okay, tested it for a hour. I didnt manage to get gapps working, so this rom is useless for me. From Antutu i got 13700. As i said before, UI worked smoothly, but the phone has still some elements in Chinese, even when i switched system language to English. There was Chinese, Englih and Spanish. With google apps and little perfomance boost (>15000 score) and fully english UI this would be best rom for P6 atm.

Wow, I have just installed this ROM and have played around with it for a while and I must say it is as interesting as hell !!
Very fast and unlike any UI I have experienced. I have not tried to install a gapps .zip as it seems not to work so I tried to install a Google Play Store .apk but for some reason it wont open, maybe some kind of restrictions. All other .apk's install and work fine. I synced my Gmail acct. all good, sycned my contacts (using .vcf file) and all good.
Lots of Chinese stuff I dont understand but I'm having fun just trying everything.
Overall for someone like me who uses my mobile for texting, calling and basic fun stuff this is a really good ROM with some serious eye candy.
If you want to try something really different give this a go.
Cheers, LL13- :victory:

gMaps is a very good google maps client, the only problem is that offline navigation doesn't work. If you can't make that work in your app, then... Any effort is useless. But, don't let my comment discourage you to develop, but keep that in mind.

I implemented a class for offline using but there are some bugs presents.
but the first thing I'm looking for is offline map usage (at least map only without navigation)
If I solve the saving offline map I can look for things like offline finding directions and etc.
All the best

I may not help you in code as I am not a full-fledged developer. But I hope you get success in this project. This will be a very good contribution to our phones as the Windows Maps is bad after Creators update.

yes exactly . after creators update windows maps get awful and exactly that's why I'm thinking about building this app .
I hate google but Microsoft forced me unfortunately
As an update for project detail I have to say I finally completed the offline map downloading .
You have to select a region for downloading the offline map and it will download .
Please let me know what you need to be prepared for the first release .
For now I need your basic needs (things you can't live without them lol)
Excited for release.

I don't say I want these all features in first release. You can take your time . I want favorites places to save like Work and Home. And Yes.....organizing those saved places into collections just like on HERE Maps apps. Also driving and Voice navigation can be a part of it.
Wish you all the best for release.
Good idea, my friend! Would you mind to create class library with NuGet package, and share sources on github? I believe this project might be interested for many devs (who still code stuff for UWP of course ).

I didn't share it on git hub but I will do it and also after a bit cI will share it as a DLL or Nuget package too .
I know many guys need this and love to use it in their apps
wao, good luck!
As a very soon pre-release I Will share you the appx on first post .
It contains :
Showing maps as I mentioned in default Road view and Satellite view
and it supports showing traffic and transit
It supports downloading offline map and if downloaded a region offline package if you are offline app automatically use offline map .
Known bugs and issues :
1 - Download Map page : when you select points, Pointers doesn't show the correct position that you selected (they stick to top left of map) but that's ok
2 - Download Map page : Progress Indicator fills many times until download complete, because it show progress of download in each zoom level that app trying to get and it's not showing really true value of progress! I mean it's not reliable at all!
For understanding when download complete wait until app show you Download Complete message
As this app is a very very very first alpha build do not select a large region for downloading offline maps. Please select a region like a City, not bigger. For example Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi, Iran offline map is about 22 - 35 MB (about ~7K to 9K files) depend on the exact region points you selected.
Because of large number of files to write it may takes very long to download much more than 30 - 40 MB but looking for some workarounds.
Good News Maybe :
if app crash ( I didn't see ) or you close app or etc. that cause canceling the map download You can re-select the region you selected before this time app only check for the files downloaded before and continue progress from un-downloaded content
Thanks
OMG. That's really great to see the first pre-release hit over 850 downloads a day.
I added the walking mode navigation to app , how to use Simply find where you want to go on map and hit the point !
Map showing you the way to get to your destination .
Change log :
-Fixed continuse location using after closing app
-Added Walking mode navigation
-Minor fixes and improvements
Appx file and it's dependencies will be added to the #1 post.
What will I want to add in next build :
a better offline map download (not downloading tiles over zoom level 20, Zoom Level 17 is enough I think)
and maybe I use the Icon I attached for next release
Also I added an Insider group in Telegram Messenger that I will provide you the link of group to join me and I really want developers join me to complete it's alpha ring features.
Now Application Source code is shared on GitHub
https://github.com/NGame1/UWPGmaps
NuGet Library and Class Library (DLL/Winmd) to work with Google Map APIs will be available soon too.
We have an insider group on Telegram Messenger you can join there for updates and keep me updated with bugs and features you need . There should be a better communication with you and other users .

Don't use Telegram for bug tracking! Use GitHub, it has all capabilities (not an industry standard level but enough for open source fun projects).

[Release][APP][0.9.3 - 2019.07.12] GAssist.net - Google Assistant for Galaxy Watch

App is already available on Samsung Store.
Thank you for all DONATIONS and support !!!!
Introduction
I've been looking at this topic and I saw that unfortunately the project died... so as I am a java developer and I am very tired with all the unresponsible/crashing apps on Galaxy Store. I decided to try myself at C#/.Net to write my own Google Assistant companion for Galaxy Watch. I hate Bixby as much most of the community.
So here is my approach to the Google Assistant companion app for Tizen Watches.

FAQ
Q: Will this application be available on other watches than Galaxy Watch?
A: Yes, this application should work on any Samsung watch with Tizen 4.0+ and microphone/speaker.
Q: Will this be a paid app?
A: Yes, but the price shouldn't be more than 2USD. I will consider making it 2 variants Free and Premium.
The app will be free.
Q:Will non speaker watches be supported ?
A: Yes, when I develop the text output.
Q:Can this app do xxxx?
A: The app can talk to Google Assistant SDK Service. I'm not answering for any Google Assistant SDK / Service features related questions. This doesn't depend on me, my app is only a bridge to Google Service. Please ask Google what the Assistant Service is capable of, and why not all features are available. Send query to their support, post on their forums etc.

How to get the logs
You have to have Tizen studio installed. Watch has to be in debug mode.
Immediately after crash / bug connect watch via wifi.
Open Tizen SDK Device Manager.
Wait a while until it reads the logs.
Export logs:
Zip them and attach to post reporting bug.
THANKS!
Cool
Sounds like a plan! Cheers
Great idea. I'm pretty sure lots of people want/need this! I'm using a similar type of app for Alexa. It is very, very handy to have.

I've been looking at this Alexa app, and it's very bad... My app even at pre-alpha stage is way more advanced
Doesn't record fixed voice length but recording time is based on voice recognition (recognized text is not changing = stop recording) the same as it works on the original assistant this way it can recognize variable length commands - you can say something short, or veeeeeeryyyy long, as long as you like and it will always know when to stop and send reply.
Also my app is way more responsive - the Alexa app feels very unresponsive to me.

You are right with most of your observations! The thing is, I live in the Alexa world for my lighting system and more & have no other choice. It works for what I need even if not perfect. I use GA on my Note 9 because Bixby is pretty much pathetic.
Maybe after you perfect your GA app for the watch, you can start on an Alexa app. Competition and choices are what makes apps great! I'd be a beta tester for that one and/or even pay $10 - $20 to get your Alexa app. I'm no dev but do understand how many thousands of lines of code can go into apps. Good luck!

Great idea, Google assistant is the only thing that lets the galaxy watch down. Ive been praying for 2 years Samsung would sort Bixby out, its voice recognition is terrible and has so many limitations. Count me in for any testing you need

Happy to be a Beta tester.. I'm a Quality Assurance manager (system tester) for a huge Government organisation.. Happy to help get this project on it's feet mate
This is awesome! Curious where it is going!
Hello. I am Tizen 4.0.0.2 user from Turkey.
I am an English Language Teacher.
I use Samsung Gear Sport.
I can gladly be your beta tester.
I am Android Developer and QA Engineer here in the states. Would love to beta test for you if needed! If not great work man! Looks really promising
Add me to the test. I have a galaxy watch, many google home devices. And a lot of wifi outlets, wifi switches, wifi garage door openers, thermostats, much more.
Guys,
Whoever wants to participate in beta tests, please send me on priv message the following details:
Watch Model:
Tizen Version:
Phone Model:
Android Version:
I will contact with chosen persons.
For first alpha testing I would need the most experienced ppl with android, a little bit technical knowledge would be cool.
What I would need from you is to send me logs from device (I will tell you exacly how), also I would need to make screenshots from Android and pictures of the app whenever crash / debug message appears and detailed description under what circumstances the error/debug msg appeared.
For example:
"I was saying "Hello google, where is the nearest supermarket" and the app crashed, the listen button was greyed out, was on WiFi + screen from android app + picture of the watch face with error message etc. + watch logs.
Please participate only if you can meet this requirements.
Thanks,
Edit: Saw your post. Will you a pm.
---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------
Would you be able to change language on the GA? Cause my biggest complain about Bixby is that it doesn't understand my language (danish) while Google assistant does.
Thanks for your work and thanks in advance!
Yes, it already works in other languages - for example I use it in Polish
Excellent work mate! pm sent.
Looks great. I would be up for beta testing this.
cool! does it work only when connected to the phone or it is a standalone app?
Some Input for implementation
best way is to use it without mobile:
Some Input from very intressant application:
https://voiceinacan.com -> an Alexa Client on the watch without need mobile
He has very usefull input to implement the solution

Two days full of work and I'm happy to inform that we're on version 0.0.2.
New demo vid: https://youtu.be/qtfn6-p5CQA
(edited video link cause of hotfix, now real time text displays correctly)
New features:
-real time voice recognition text display
-assistant response display
-ability to stop assistant talk with press "Listen" again
Technical changes:
-completely reworked internal logic(once again, I hope last time )
-use of new libraries
-changed buffering methods
-changed multithreading libraries
As for the question: this app will never be standalone on watch.
gRPC is the library used to talk with assistant webservice and this library is not available on Tizen, end of topic.
I won't write my own interface to talk with Google API.
