[APP] LocationAware v0.3, PCBuddy {14th April 2010}

Location Aware is an automatic volume profile switcher.
This application works out of the data received from GSM signals.(NO CDMA)
so almost all windows mobile devices can use it.I developed it on my elf and it seems it is working
Requires GSM network, Windows Mobile , .Net CF 3.5
1. Battery Friendly, No active background process.
2. No GPS needed.
3. User configurable interval to check for location.
4. Can save settings automatically v0.3
Well it works like this: (May change per version)
1. Install it.
2. Open the Location Aware(from programs)
3. When ever you start the app it will vibrate the device 2 times and then asks "Add this Location".
4. Click OK and it prompts to save the volume level for this location and save.
5. Adjust the volume level as you desire from the Slider on right hand side of screen.
6. Then goto Menu and Save Location Mode, this should save the setting for this location(Prompt will be displayed).
7. Now you can let the application run itself every X mins to check for new location and prompt you whenever a new location is found.
8. To set the interval time goto Menu -> "Stopped" this should open up a panel to enter the interval time, fill it and click set. "Stopped" should be changed to "Running". Now you can Exit.
9. If prompt is not dismissed or OKayed within 1 min(Automode). It dismisses itself and will prompt again if new location is found after next X mins.
10. The limit for interval is 2-60 mins, that means the app will run itself after every X mins and check for location, if a new location is found it vibrates
and then asks you to save this location or not, in case you dont respond to it, it will close itself after 1 min.
and in case the location was already saved it will automatically apply the volume profile.
Basically as you keep on using it the database keeps on growing and in parallel profile settings gets more customized.
PS: You may notice that the taskbar volume indicator is not changed, but that is normal. The volume setting is still applied as per your choice this issue is fixed in v0.3
V0.2
1. No alert popup will be displayed to inform select n save the location.
2. Save the location mode directly by clicking the volume level image.
v0.3
1. Reflect the volume level changes in the taskbar volume icon
2. New mode added "AutoSave", enabling it makes the app save new location automatically with the last volume preference, whenever a new location is found.
PS. AutoSave mode works in Scheduled mode, if you have set the app to run after a scheduled interval with autosave mode enabled and it detects a new location it will prompt a message-box, if you don't give it a response i.e ignore it, it will add the location automatically after 1 min and will dismiss itself.
for users of previous versions:
It will use the already existing database of location settings, just install it over the previous version.
PCBuddy
This app is used to plot all the collected points by the location aware app on google maps.
Unzip the files and then copy the locations.db file from your device to the same folder on your system. Once the file has been copied Run CreateMap.exe this should generate a html file in the same folder. Run that and see for yourself
Please replace the dll in PCBuddy with the one in 64Bit.zip in case you are using a 64Bit Windows
Suggested setting:
For the first time I suggest to keep the interval at around 5 mins so that it can grab almost all the desired locations. once you feel it is having settings for your daily use u may turn the interval to a higher(suggested 15 mins) so that it can apply the volume settings for the known locations.
SUPPORT LATE NIGHTS- DONATE!

No comments???

Great idea !
By using GSM signal to get your position you avoid to use the gps which take more time to get position + a little battery consumption.
We certainly can find a lot of functions linked to this automatic profile/location system
I will try your app

Thanks Vesperial, hope it works out fine

Hmmm
hmmm and I thought this was useful

it is a nice idea
but as a nice addon it would be cool, if it would be possible to add names for specific cell id locations and if the app would be a today plugin

thanks diboze,
well your ideas are nice but since i want to keep the user inputs to minimum i went on this way and about making it a today plugin...hmm i m not sure how to do that with a C# app
but suggestions are always welcome

Great Concept!!!!
Just saw your P.S. that the volume icon will not change accordingly...but it works as intended. (Please Fix) Is there a radius on the set locations? I work across the street from our main mall, is why I ask.
I love this concept as I saw the other O.S. had a similar app. (Sweet Dreams)

Hi djyosnow,
understood your concerns about the radius thing but thaz not in myhands as that thing is dependent on lot of factors like, your disance from tower, signal strength etc. But still you may experiment if you get new location alert in case you are at your office.
n yes this is really nice ~PLUR~

Very good application, specially like me who travel a lot from office to client to mall and to our factory
I will give my comment after i use it...

v0.2 Out
Some modification in GUI and user interaction

Re mohitsapru,
i tested your app on my HD, it worked well
I have one suggestion to ease the way we can use it, an option like 'Save the actual sound profile automatically when a new unknown position is found'
Then we can move without thinking about it but it will be good as an enabled/disabled option.
Good job !

Does this app able to detect the change of location if the device switched off(suspended) by power button?
For example:
1. Save volume setting at location A and location B
2. At location A, press power button to turn off the device
3. Move the device from location A to location B
4. Will the volume be changed automatically (without turning on the device) at location B?

I have run it on my Samsung I900 Omnia and i think it works perfect.
But here some ideas:
It would be great if you can add 2 or more cells to 1 location (Because i have here to cells at home, and if I use UMTS 3G i had another one)
If you write the cell id a little bit greater.
And expert mode were you add name for cells (i see this wish earlier here, too), and can add more things.

Hi Dtrieb,
Thanks for trying it out.
Well i will think about the other two options/suggestions but i am not able to get what you meant by the first suggestion Which 2 cells are you referring to?

[Tasker] Glasker: Send Anything to Glass with only TASKER!

I have a Pebble, which doing a great job of getting Android Notifications! I just wonder if I can do the same thing with Google Glass.
There are some notification forwarder on the Market now, however, since I am already running Tasker, so I wonder if I could use
Tasker + Google's Mirror API
to achieve same thing without running any other APP on my phone, nor on my Glass, and here it is: "Glasker"
"Glasker" encapsulated Mirror API's token and authorization process into several Tasker tasks so you only need to write simple tasker "Profile" based on trigger you want then send anything to Glass!
With "Glasker", you could:
1. Forward ANY Android notification (as far as Tasker can get) to your Glass.
2. Forward Music Track info on your Phone to Glass while playing by Phone.
3. All of communications are just between your phone, Google's cloud and your Glass. Nothing go through another server.
4. You tell me!
Before we start, here are the disclaimer:
1. As Tasker is just plain text, you can see everything how those tasks works. Please review the code before proceed and once you run the tasks, I am not responsible what happened to your phone, your glass, Google's cloud or your washing machine, etc...
2. I am NOT affliated to the author of "Tasker" nor "RESTask for Tasker". Thus I am do NOT know if any of them send your message somewhere else. Don't use this project if you suspect anything.
Okay, Here are the setup steps:
0. Install a Tasker plugin "RESTask for Tasker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freehaha.restask This is used to send REST message to Google's cloud. (Tasker's internal PUT doesn't work here...)
1. Setup your OAuth2.0 Client ID and Client secret at https://console.developers.google.com/project (If you have no idea on what I am saying here, I will try to add a walk thru in 3rd post when I got time!)
2. Turn on your Glass and make sure it connected to your phone via MyGlass app. Make sure your phone and Glass can access the network.
3. Import downloaded "Glass.prj.xml" file into Tasker
4. Open task "TimeInZulu" and modify Variable Substract: %deliverytime, xxxxx according to your time zone!
In Taiwan (GMP+0800), xxxxx=8*60*60=28800
In LA, USA (GMP-0800), please change Variable Substract-->Variable add: %deliverytime, 28800
Other time zone please modify as needed or you will not hear a chime when message delivered to your Glass!
5. Run Task "Get Authorization 1" once and input your Client ID, Client secret (Those two variables will be kept in Tasker Variables in PLAIN text since it will be used later), than your default browser will fire
6. After grant yourself with the priviledge of "Glass timeline request", than you will be directed to a web page with a code. Please copy the code.
7. Return to Tasker, than run "Get Authorization 2" (hence Google's Two-Step Authorization....), than input the code you get from last step.
8. Let the Task run a while (10~20 second), then you should see a message on Glass says "My Notification forwarder Setup Completed!" (If not, lease scroll to right of timeline to see this message. It should be the 1st message)
9. Now, go back to Tasker/Profile than setup your trigger. (My default trigger are with Line, a Whatsapp like messanger very popular in Taiwan)
10. Profit!
If you find this useful, Thanks button is just a click away! Also, if you can make this project better, please also share what you modified here!

Profile explaination:
1. GlassConnected: Master switch for all sending profiles. I disable the forwarding of message if my Glass is not connected to my phone via BT directly for apparently security reason. In theory as long as both your Phone and Glass are connected to the network, you can forward message even they are at opposite side of the world!
2. SendLineMsg: Send message from Line, a Whatsapp like app wildly used in certain parts of world (4 billion active user!). You can modify this to any other messanger!
3. SendMusicInfo: Not necessary, it's just a demo to show it can send something else.
Task explaination:
1. Get Authorization 1/2: To get authorization from Google to allow access to Mirror API.
2. Remove All TimeLine Items: Utility task. As name suggests, it removes all timeline items created (only) by Glasker. It also reset several Tasker variables should you encounter problem. (No need to re-do Get Authorization)
3. Get Time Line: Used in "Remove All TimeLine Items" to get all timeline items created by Glasker
4. GetAccessToken: Utility task. Used to get new access token from Google (since token are temporarily and expires about 360 seconds). Usually you don't need to mess with this task
5. TimeInZulu: Convert local time to Zulu time. It seems Mirror API only accepts Zulu time format. (You need to modify this task based on your timezone as above step 4 or you wil not hear reminder chime when mesasge delivered
6. SendStaticCard: This task is used to send customized content to Glass.
7. SendLineMsg: Send nofication from Line app to the Glass. I update both "Boundle Cover" as will as content
8. SendMusicInfo: Send the music track info for the music playing at stock music player on your PHONE. (This is a demo of non-chimed Card send to glass)

This looks pretty cool. Sorry if I missed it, but does glass automatically turn on, visual, for each notification?

Yes, you can make a sound when notification push to Glass. However, the Glass will not turn on the screen. (This is explicitly mentioned by Google that such ability will not be allowed in Mirror API, only for APP running on Glass itself).
What's cool here is that when you hear the notification sound, if you turn on the Glass in about 5 second (by touchpad or head-up activation), the Glass will show the notification card directly instead of the regular card with time.
The task of "SendLineMsg" is an example to have a card with notification sound, while "SendMusicInfo" doesn't have sound.

Got any way to go the other way? From Glass to phone? Would be great for voice commands for home automation.

Yes, it's possible to go the other way (from glass to Phone). However you need to run a HTTP server on your phone.... The whole Mirror API is two way...
I was thinking to have Tasker to enable/disable the HTTP server on phone based on the message sent (to save phone resource-->Battery when no message are needed) but don't have time to do it yet...
You are welcome to make modification here!

It's depends on your time zone. If you are in US, you need replace the "Variable Substract" action with "Variable add" action than put your time zone difference in second.

I'm trying to use this to forward YouTube videos to glass. Getting close I think.

Any luck on this? Does the timeline card open up the correct application? Can I send myself a location from my phone and open it up with maps on glass? This would be awesome!

Does this still work without MyGlass ?

Switching to W10M from iOS/Android//BB's Domain

Dears,
days ago I purchased a Lumia 950XL Dual SIM after playing for years BBOS and Android and I want trust in it (I am awaiting so much the Elite X3).
The device is awesome and now updated with that releases Firmware: 16082.36013 OS: 14379.0
With me G5, Passport, iPhone 6... I felt all the enviro with pro and cons as most of you.
If the administrators/moderators agree we can stick that topic and make it for people want try that OS not for fun but as daily working unique wingman.
I have some hot questions:
-) Did we have application AirDroid/Pushbullet like to manage the phone directly from the PC/Mac/Linux?
-) Does it is possible to have quick link in the Start menu to call/send sms/send group sms like the Android widget?
-) Does it is possible to import directly the SMS without follow the onedrive way from an Android phone?
Below a VS I did Lumia 950XL and LG G5 (the previous used working phone) with v10g:

And the first meet with Continuum as a geek or as XDA docet. Next gallery, promise, you will have to look for Sherlock (Apple or the Original of Baker Street it's up to you) to see where a single wired cable is!

Hello and thank you as first!
About the points:
1. Thanks it looks promising, but I need a system with Windows 10 (desktop) to install the client? I will check the docs inside the page.
2. I can create a pin to the name of the people but not to the number or the service inside is profile. E.g. If for Mr.X I what pin his mobile number to send an SMS, I have to access to his profile to tap on "send message" not directly like with a widget.
3. Thanks! I will try.
About Continuum it was an idea to manage the phone looking forward for a full implementation with the X3 from Elite. Which device did you have now?
Cheers,

TCL 10 Pro no Smart Key?

I have the Smart Key option which allows programming the side button on the TCL Plex but in 10 Pro the key is only for Google Assistant and Smart Key app is missing. Any way to fork it from Plex or 10 Lite and install it on 10 Pro?

I have no idea, but same issue here.
Saw the LinusTechTips video on the 10 Pro and saw he had the option to change what the smart key did, but when I got my device last week I found it missing said options.
I am activating the google assistant more than I'd like so would love to change it.

@skromnia
@darklighthim
Here's a link to the user manual, seems the smart key options can be accessed in the phone's settings :

Just spit-balling here, as I don't have the phone....
Just to rule everything else out, have you looked in "Developer Options"
If it's not listed there, the only other thing that comes to mind is look for a hidden shortcut, either with an app from the play store, or, if you have Nova Launcher, use its shortcut function to search for it.
If all else fails, I'd look around here in the XDA TCL forums for someone that might have a device with the .apk to extract & share, or, reach out to TCL for the app/request a software update to include it.
Perhaps some of the YouTubers who've got this phone can help out/share an apk.....
Glad I checked out this section, I'd be tee'd to find this out after the fact.

Can you extract the apk from your other TCL device, see if it works on your 10 Pro?

Nothing in the Developer Options and as far as I can see, nothing showed up in Nova Launcher plus I looked up system apps in settings but nothing there either.
I have reached out to TCL via Facebook, the first time they just sent me a link to a photo telling me what the smart key can do, but I've asked again..
It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to change it so I don't access the google assistant all the time when I accidentally press the button.

Software version?
It's in the latest build, and was there our the box as well (advanced features), that's strange it's not showing for you.

I eventually managed to fork the apk without root and install it on the Pro but it doesn't do anything. Probably it must be installed as a system app but without root it's impossible + the Pro has an extra setting for the "Google Assistant" button which surely interferes with Smart Key.

If you have the Plex, then you probably have the T799H (green EU) variant of the TCL 10 Pro.
The T799B (gray US/CAN) variant has the smart key settings and a different accessibility menu

Correct, I have the T799H. It's unfortunate there are such differences but it's a shame they just removed the Smart Key with the latest update on the TCL 10l as well.

Well, I bet your fingerprint shortcuts actually work, they don't work at all on the T799B.
And as a consolation, that green T799H is beautiful and not available in the US yet.

That is something I'm never gonna use as it's clunky and unnatural.

Finally have some options for me (UK phone).
Late this afternoon I received an update to V2.0.4D.H.J, and in accessibility settings I can change the google assistant options on the smart key, but can't do anything else like re-map it to another app or change what various presses do.
At last I can turn it off because I keep pressing it when I don't want to.

If anyone still looking here is the Smart Key app apk file from my T799b US version.
Smart Key v3.1947.18.1029.0

Thnk you Jay for posting the apk.
I have the same issue uith my T770H_EEA and I try with Jay apk but unfortunately doesn't work. Apk installed successfully, I manage to configure the features for Smart Key, restart phone but nothing happens when I press it.
I have the last software version installed
V. 2.0. 3C. J. 1.

You issue might be that when you install Smart Key, It is not a system app but a user app therefore it might not save the "system settings". There might be a command in adb to make a user app into a system app. Without root on our device I am not sure. My phone a T799B does show it as a system app.
When you install it does Smart key show up in settings under advanced features?
Screenshots below from my T799B
You also might need 1 extra apk file from the device called smart-divert. May all work together.
I uploaded some system apps here:

Disable assistant launch from settings, then install Button Mapper from Play market and do anything with any button you have on your phone.
