Liveview PCB front

Hi, just posted an updated high res pic of the liveview PCB front: The illegible chip at the bottom middle has “E3030 Z312E” on it

Did a spot of redbus development this evening, one politeness fix, one bugfix and one really annoying thing. Politeness: silence the stop data update alarm. It’ll still warn you when updates are available, but it shouldn’t make a noise/vibrate/blink lights etc. Bugfix: Searching for locations from the map view now works again. Really annoying thing:Continue reading “redbus update”

Liveview case clips

To help people out, I’ve drawn the approximate size and location of the plastic retainer clips holding the liveview together in red on this image. I used a swiss army knife to lever it open blindly 🙂 The prongs of the clips are on the side with the display, locking into the plastic baseContinue reading “Liveview case clips”

Liveview teardown

OK, ok, I couldn’t resist any longer, I had to open the liveview up. Here are the pics (click for larger ones): Front view: Rear view: Front PCB closeup: Rear PCB closeup: It seems to be rather annoyingly common with this sort of thing to include extremely blurry photos which are no use toContinue reading “Liveview teardown”

Sony Ericsson LiveView hacking: complete

I’ve just checked in the final piece of the LiveView protocol. If you look here, you’ll find a complete re-implementation of the LiveView protocol in Python, allowing it to be completely controlled from a PC. It shouldn’t be hard to port this to Java and completely replace the Android LiveView application with something else entirelyContinue reading “Sony Ericsson LiveView hacking: complete”

Sony Ericsson LiveView hacking!

I bought one of those wee Sony LiveView devices during the holidays. They sound quite cool in theory, but the connection to them seems to be rather flakey for some reason. Supposedly there is a firmware update for the device itself due out in January to fix this. However, in the meantime, I want toContinue reading “Sony Ericsson LiveView hacking!”

jrename 0.2

Hi, just created a new release (0.2) of jrename, available here. This has a couple of user submitted patches, one to fix a NullPointerException when processing interfaces, and one to fix method/field renaming.

redbus: annoyance with small screen devices

I just found out earlier today that redbus wasn’t showing up on certain devices, specifically "small screen" phones. Since I had originally targetted android SDK 1.5, and support for small screen devices appeared after that, by default they wouldn’t show up in the market for them! The docs on the specifics are here. Basically whatContinue reading “redbus: annoyance with small screen devices”

KIF 0.5

Finally got some time to update this a bit: Get timed events working – freefall and z-life should now work properly. Add about page. Sort out licensing. It is available from here. If you’ve already rooted+installed my developer keys, all you need to do is unzip it onto your kindle over USB. If you’re installingContinue reading “KIF 0.5”
