Hi @ all
As already mentioned in the "3rd party ir app" thread, I'm working on a TV-B-GONE like app for the HTC One.
The app should be capable to:
• Sync tv-off-codes with an online database
• Send all known (in database) codes out through IR blaster
• Learn an off code and upload to database for other users
All these features maybe already work, but I can't test it as I don’t have my HTC ONE yet!
So if you wanna try, download it from and here and give me some feedback in the thread
• There is a good chance that the app doesn’t even start – I can't test any of the IR blaster related functions! – That’s why I need you until I get my phone :laugh:
• The app sends bug reports to me using bugsense – you can disable this feature in the options if you don't want to send reports! If you disable and get an force close -> please send me the logcat
• The database view is not fully implemented, you can list vendors and search for models but if you click on vendor / model nothing will happen
• Database sync on startup can be disabled in settings
• The Database is EMPTY now(except of one vendor), so don’t wonder if nothings getting synced
Used permissions:
• INTERNET -> For online syncing
• ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE -> To pre-check if sync is possible (not in flight mode)
Future:
• Making the app fully work.
• Making a universal remote app with database sync. So any user can scan his codes (not only power off codes), tag them, create remote layouts, upload schemes for a device, etc. Usable for any IR device (tv, hifi, Roomba, etc)

I'll take the plunge
Will let you know how it goes.
Theres already a new entry for a "dreambox" so recording codes (can) work.
Thx for trying!

Ok. So given her a spin.
nothing happened lol.
installed fine. I have a LG tv and a virgin TiVo digital box (made by Cisco)
when you go to the search box, enter just moves down to the next line. it doesn't "enter" if that makes sense.
See attached pics anyway.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info.
That was excepted - you see vendors "sony" (dummy vendor by me) and vendor "" (empty, ill catch that in the next version) which someone who uploaded a code for a dreambox. As mentioned before, database view is not fully implemeted, you only see vendors ("Sony" and "") and models("dreambox") which other ussrr uploaded until now. Please try recording an offcode for one of your devices
Cool.
Sorry, I must of originally miss understood. Thought you had just added Dreambox to the list of others.
Ill keep an eye out for when you add LG on there
Keep up the good work though. What exactly is the end purpose of the app?
From what I can see, it would be a perfect app for me to prank friends and family whilst at home messing with the TV "quickly" instead of going through setting up the tv first.
:victory:
Downloaded.
Was going to try with the TV at my office but its LG also.
Ill test at home with a Samsung and a Panny.
Hi and thanks for this app, i was able to learn 2 codes, it turned off my TVs when using "Test Code (ir)" button before uploading, but once uploaded (the Panasonic one and a Samsung one are mines) i can't use "all off!" command, i'm still stuck at "Sending codes : 4/10" and then it FC ...
Maybe you could add a tool to try code from database (when pushing on a brand name, sending all codes for this brand) and to avoid duplicates ...
ps : sorry for my english

Thanks guys for downloading and testing.
I think there is a little misunderstanding here -> i dont add vendors or devices or codes (at least not until i get my HTC ONE finally).
Its you, the useres, which upload codes. If you enter a model or a vendor which is unknown for the database, it will be created and then usable for everybody else.
@scarabe17
Thanks for the feedback. The force closes is becasue there are some wrong ir codes (data is invalid) in the database from failed uploads. will be fixed in the next version.
I have a lot of ideas what to implement in the app, and as mentioned before, the "tv-b-gone" functionalty (send all known off-codes) will be only a "special function".
The end purpose is an universal IR remote app, with community driven code uploads for all kind of devices and codes (not only power off).
There will be a "layout editor" where you can create your own layout with custom buttoms mapped to custom functions, and you will can share that with other users.
regards
antifish
This will be something cool
Please note, there is version 0.2 now!
Dont use 0.1 anymore, new codes will not work and upload will not be possible!
I had to purge the whole database (sorry to you who already uploaded a code) the format in database was a bad choice.
(details: i used java objectwriterstream to serialize the IR data, and if HTC will change something in that class it cant be serialized back without some trouble, so i changed to a json format)
also there should (hopefully) be less force closses.
and there is a check for updates, so you will notice when i upload the next version
uploaded my panasoic tv model
would be nice here to keep an update of model list cause apps, only show sony.
Also you should add a Vol + button cause at the end its more annoying in shops to set volume to the max than turn tv off

Thanks for the upload!
Can you please sync the database (with the sync icon in the actionbar). At least the Panasonic should apper now, as you uploaded it!
(Sony + Pansonic are the only two venors in the database now)
db synced, model showing, but not working.
you should apply for htc ir api for get codes, cause if you fill the db only with ppl having a htc one member of xda, i doubt you ll reach 50 models
Tried to learn my LG Remote. Got 3 different error-messages.
"Out of Frequ"
"Timeout"
and something with "Pulse"

what do you mean with "not working"? The database view actually does nothing when clicking on a model or vendor, thats not integrated yet. The only thing which should happen is that when you press "all off" it should turn off your tv :fingers-crossed:
I have the HTC IR API but it does not provide access to the integrated code database (or i don't know how). I'll decompile a ROM to look after the codes when i have time, maybe i find something! Its no easy to try these things as i dont have a HTC ONE at the moment (still waiting)...
I hope that the next HTC models will all have the IR blaster integrated! And when the app is ready i hope that it gets more response and codes in the play store.
When i got time and be in the mood i'll have a look at the galaxy S4, as it have an IR blaster integrated too, and it would be nice to have an app that support every pontetial model.

how often did you tried to learn the code?
I'll make the timeout variable in the next version.
Maybe it works better in a darker room?
Ola, lemme know if i can help
When i say not working, it means my tv doesnt turn off

Okay, maybe the data is corrupt (in the database), the scanning of the IR code is not as good on the ONE
as desired, or there is a bug in sending the codes.
Can you please learn the code 2..3 times again? I'll can compare the data then and see if the scanned data is
always the same

This post updates frequently
This thread is aimed to bring together all the information available on the i7 smart band: firmware, troubleshooting, features etc. This thread is also possible thanks to the work already done my user roninzgz for the i5+ smartband
I video review will also be soon posted (already delayed).
The app called Zeroner can be found in the play store here, or, for the most up-to-date app, one can find it here, in chinese (4.0.1.6), downloadable to your PC. The Chinese dev thread is here
The best version of the app to be used in english is the roninzgz moded one Zeroner 3.3.4 in En or Es here, here or here
A fast picture album after I unpacked it can be seen here. More, better quality photos, will be updated shortly.
A short review:
First off, we're talking about the all black version (black anodized aluminium body with a black wristband). A very good quality build and I was lucky to find it for a bit over 50€ though prices can change change.
It uses a 1.28 inch Sharp Memory LCD with a 128x128 pixel resolution (the same as the Pebble) making it have a battery life of veeeery close to 4 full days. There are some things I'd change in order to increase the life span, like the backlight, though dim, should have the option to be set between a specific interval, and not turn on at all during sleep mode. This is, however, not affected by the "screen mode" balk zith white text or white with black text as the whole screen needs to be refreshed and it eats the same 3-5 uA (micro amps) to do.
The body is sleek and allows for standard 20 mm wristbands to be used. It's thickness is as advertised, 8.4 mm, but the flat cut sides give it thinner look and the heart-rate sensor "bump" is unnoticeable.
Speaking of the heart-rate function, it's not always on, but rather it is a discreet one, at a minimum 10 minute intervals, depending on the activity. If sedentary, then the interval goes to 30 minutes. It is very accurate in measurements (compared with a medical one) and, as seen in Zeroner 3.3.4, it has it's own firmware (though 3.6.6.7 pushes it automatically, simultaneously)
It comes with 3 watch faces though the new firmware update changes the UI altogether. The one on the device at shipment is 1.0.3.9, to be updated to 1.0.5.4 (using Zeroner 4.0.1.6)
The screen responds to both swipes and touches. It has 5 active areas under the glass (2.5D) and it's not "too" sensitive but you'll never miss a command if the whole gesture is done.
It stores up to 8, full text notifications (basically it copies the phone's notification to the device' screen) - this function will change in the new firmware.
The device has English and Chinese menus, though the English one is pictogram based. It is, however, very intuitive and straightforward.
The new UI will bring camera and media player controls.

Are you sure that is the official one? Their official site says "coming soon" and the picture looks totally different.

Edit: It's not listed on their chinese store either. I don't think this is actually an iwown product.

More than sure. Since not only does it pair with the latest app (which is better secured than 3.3.4) but also took the update. Also, the dedicated Chinese forum thread is a giveaway.
It is an iWOWN product and the exchanges I had with the customer service (who only reply if you write in Chinese) confirmed it for me.
Cheers
Edit: if, on the en website you just change the langue (via the flag button top right), you'll see it front and centre

I received my i7 today and i am quite pleased. It's quite elegante and feels like it is only 5mm thick. it cam with 1.0.0.3 firmware. The Menu is in chinese so pretty useless.Somehow i manage to change it that it displays symbols so it is okay, i guess.
I tried updating the firmware, but zeroner 3.6.6.7 won't start, even when phone language is set to chinese. Any suggestions?

I'll grab a quick look on how to get the hex file so you could manually place it in the Zeroner folder. Since I'm working with an iPad for that... I hope it'll not be "too" tricky.
If you are trying to update I'm sure it works with an iphone, after scanning the image in the first post and following the steps. it does not need any language change for the OS

When will the video presentation?

Hi, neotion,
Yes, the i7 has a backlight, very non intrusive if viewed in dark places. I'd wish it wouldn't turn on during the day as there is no need for it.
I'm getting 4 days of use from it and regarding the video, I can't get a break: my camera decided to not detect my lens and i'm now looking around to borrow one. - Can't do it with a phone, tried it and it's just... :crying: ugh. the sound is awful is where I'm getting at.
If push comes to shove I'll shoot it with a phone.
i tried updating my bracelet with zeroner 3.6.7 and a friends phone. I won't upgrade. i am stuck at the update page. it says detecting version.

ok, so, the Android 3.6.6.7 app does not work above 5.1.1 (since it work on cm12.1 but not on cm13)
by scanning the qr code in this thread with an iOS device you'll get an app that not only would work but also allow you to update the firmware - yes, the chinese devs like iOS more
so, get the image on your phone, find a friend/colleague with an iPhone and update it like that - sorry I can't do more ATM

Hi, got my i7 today!!! The watch came with stock 1.0.0.1 firmware.

I was able to upgrade using the DFU mode i5 plus mod by Ronin. It also works on the i7. But u don't see any success message. After that i used nRF Master control. There i connected to I7s DFU 1 and used Distribution package, normal mode. Worked like a charm.:highfive:
But it seem it's kind of buggy for me. in the menu i can't enter the options anymore. i can scroll through them so. At least it is still usable and not bricked :silly:

Okay, so these install fine, but when they launch they give an error about no Amazon App Store found. I first mistakenly downloaded a version of Amazon Underground from Aptpoide, which also crashed after running, but on googling I found an official Amazon link which does work.
After logging into Amazon Underground, the apps no longer gave that error, but instead a new one about not having 'bought' these apps. I then tried to 'buy' them using the Amazon Underground app but they do not appear for me because I am in the Republic of Ireland.
I am sure I can get around this with some VPN trickery, just doing some when on our living room, mounting new TV etc, so have not gotten to it just yet.
In case you are wondering why I did not just set up a VPN in the first place and try to 'buy' the apps with an Android device, that is because I do not think this will give me a version compatible with a remote control, whereas we know the versions you have uploaded is.
I will update thread when I've set up VPN and tried all of this.
Has anyone else had any success?

All 4 - https://mega.nz/#!K4QlmBTK!PBWAbaGIPFh9Fx92_Oqxv_RKKlpQLtfCyWGX-H6hRpw
Demand 5 - https://mega.nz/#!7pJHmaIR!zfLnhoBG1CeyFpZVHpyjYamADqDq8AYHuLKJlrarZTI
ITV Hub - https://mega.nz/#!C0ZykJSb!IxOYC1w7CLCgkRGshT2VEdZ_j3fBU4BJQLbZsTXkjWg
Please let me know if they work.

Nice work, thanks! :good:
Okay so I just cleared data, storage, reset defaults and (not sure if necessary since I then...) uninstalled the older versions and reinstalled your uploaded versions.
ITV Hub works perfectly :highfive: only issue I can see with it is that when you press back it displays a dialogoue asking 'Do you want to exit the ITV Hub' with the options Okay and Cancel. Pressing cancel does nothing, not a huge deal just thought I would mention it in case it is a quick fix.
Demand 5 loads their splashscreen, then for an instant a progress disc, and then prints the following error:
Code:
Whoops!
An error has occured and the application will now shut down.
<Exit button>
(FTVD5-500)
All 4 loads their splashscreen, and then the screen goes black and stays black. Please note this is the same behaviour as before you modified it, that is to say, unmodified Demand 5 and ITV Hub did load but gave errors about Amazon Underground, whereas All 4 never got that far.
- d3adpool, do you think it possible the apk you uploaded could have become corrupt, or could we rule that out as if it were we would not even see the All 4 splashscreen?
Is there anything you could try?

I do have a post on the Wetek forums with Android TV and FireTV app mods, modified to work with regular android.

Cool, I had a look at the thread and I can see you have been busy - and are taking requests.
If you are able to modify an Android TV app to work on regular Android, does that mean you can also do the reverse? If so could you please modify regular Android versions of RTÉ Player, 3Player, and TG4 so that they will work on Android TV with a remote? 3Player is giving me some bogus error at the moment so I have posted in an Irish forum to see if anyone else is experiencing it, and TG4 only comes up for me on Google Search showing a compatibility issue, and not in Play Store on either of my Android devices, so I have asked about that also, I just want to check they are working okay before I upload them for you. RTÉ Player does work and I have attached it below:
I'm not sure if they got corrupted or not. They did load for me on my ftv. Previous experience with sideloading ftv apps on other android devices tells me that usually it won't work. I have a MXIII and a Minix neo x8plus and on both I've attempted to sideload ftv apps and none of them have actually loaded. Either I would get a parsing error, sitting on a loading screen when trying to play a video, HDCP error (HBOGO), or some other random error. Most times you're better off installing apks from the google play store.

@d3adpool - Send me the watch NFL apk and I'll see what I can do.
@dusf - I believe there is an issue with the all 4 apk. Hopefully we can find a fresh apk. The demand 5 app works fine on my end, but won't play video due to geographical location. What device are you testing it on?
I can't add remote functionality to touch apps though. Sorry.

Real shame about All4 and Demand 5 not working, but great work with ITV Hub

@dusf - Hey man, I just tested Demand 5 on my Wetek Core, nVidia Shield TV and Amazon Fire Stick. The app works on all 3 devices. I think the issue may be on your end? Can anyone else confirm if the app works for them? Can you try the updated version I posted below?
I also don't run into the, "press back displays a dialogue asking 'Do you want to exit the ITV Hub' with the options Okay and Cancel. Pressing cancel does nothing", issue. What controller/remote are you testing it with? I tried ITV Hub on my shield with the nVidia controller, nVidia remote and FireTV remote, and all worked fine.

I have all three, Nvidia Controller, Nvidia remote, and Amazon Fire TV Voice remote, so I will try all three again with the updated versions you posted. I also have to Nvidia Shield TVs, so I will try both if they do not work on one.

Anywho... Since I tested ITV Hub and Demand 5 on my Android TV, and they both seemed to work fine, I added a banner and the proper intent to the manifest so they now show up in the Leanback Launcher. However, I can't check if videos play because I don't live in the proper geographical area.

Nice, having access to them from the launcher is a nice feature, and it did cross my mind when testing the last time but I was very happy to have ITV Hub in the first place

Can you define clean version? d3adpool has been a great help so far, perhaps if he is still willing, there is something he could do to make sure his version is not dirty?
About not being able to add remote functionality to the regular Android app, RTÉ Player app, is this something that would be possible if someone put enough time into it, or is it just set up in such a way that it would never work? I just know a bit of C and C++ at the moment, but perhaps when I learn a few more languages I could help with this. Would having access to the source code of Samsung Smart TV apps for the same channels help? This is something I could provide. I appreciate they are probably in a completely different language.

Hi thanks for sharing those, I tried Demand 5 on my nvidia shield tv, The app works fine apart from when you go to play a video. I just get the loading icon top right spinning continuously.
I would like to know if there is anyone on here who can add the ability to add some lines of code to Shield TV stock os so that it would be possible to have more than 2 rows of apps on the home screen. I am thinking it wouldn't be hard as there are developers who make custom firmware for the Shield TV. If you can or know someone who is a developer or coder and can make this happen i am willing to donate. Thank you
This doesn't sound like something that would require a full ROM - just a different launcher.
It sounds like we were both looking for the same end result. I accidentally stumbled upon an app called Sideload Launcher / Application Launcher.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dxidev.sideload.channel.launcher
Long story short, it allows you to create new "channels" using the factory Leanback Launcher from Google (no root required). In each of these new "channels," you can add individual apps to that row. Just a heads up, it is a bit intimidating at first when you start trying to figure out how to use the app. However, after an hour, I finally got my home screen to look the way I wanted it to look. I now have three extra "channels" that are categorized by app type. Hope this helps!
What is the model number? I have been looking for the shield tv model number and can't find it anywhere.
I'm using this to some good results on my Oreo based Shield TV.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/app-leanback-launcher-fire-tv-t3750451
I am hoping for more customization down the road on this but for now I prefer this so much over that messy new version of the launcher that Google is shoving down our throats with Oreo.

Thank you brother. I know how to find the model number if I had one. I've been trying to find other info without having one. You helped me greatly
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 :

Thanks for the reply, but I have no option in the settings?
There should be Driving Mode, then Smart Key and finally Switch Phone but all I have is Driving Mode, then Switch Phone.

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.
@skromnia
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.
