hey guys, anybody stumble upon iswish yet?
its awesome and definitely looks like the best iphone style UI to date!
here's the link:
http://www.flicksoftware.com/research/index_files/Page350.htm
would love some comments from the experts....
can this be replicated in our friendly environment here?
like the wonderful SCLPF by slither!
cheers!
interesting.
has this yet been posted?
anyway. To me this is just another iPhone UI, but i like the transitions. What i want is the top to bottom gesture to mean "close program" and the bottom to top gesture to mean "minimize program"
this has already been posted

iAgain and Again and Again
Can someone post this again and add a poll to it. I would like to vote on redundancy.
There sure is a lot of forum SPACE wasted lately!
I've been following the news about this app since it was announced. Does it sound hokey to you guys? They keep delaying the download with excuses. It was supposed to be available today but due to ...bla bla bla... it's delayed another month.
Doesn't seem hokey....i'm just surprised that no one has release a different version. When I play with the GSmart today program, the bottom row does the exact same scroll effect. Just make 4 rows and use the current icons and we'll have an iphone today screen.

Flickster44 has replied to your comment on Youi Labs:
"A blog is something we have in the works. We have made some significant internal adjustments to handle this new initiative and we will take the wraps off of this mid August with the launch of a new website. The pace will pick up again from there, so please hang in there! "
naw, this is cool looking, but totally impractical.
Maybe the UI design team should read some usability specs.
Scrolling for 30 secs through a floating 3d ring is not what I want to do to just to launch an app.
I do believe they are only demoing the capability of the software, and does not reflect the direction or the final product in itself. As in what it can do, not what it is meant to do.
All in all, I am quite curious as to wether it would run on our poor little kaisers when it does get released. Otherwise I'll be out of luck till '09 when I will be upgrading to the new line of phones (wm7-android.)
the UI looks smooth and nice for my kid to keep him busy...
but seriously whats the point ?
developers with this kind of skill should really have some guidlines of what exaxtly to be done and how to make it as easy and usuable as possible
learn from pointUI or spb mobile shell for example
whats the deal with the website ..all the different choices are the same with that youtube video ...looks kinda bogus...

Hey,
I just saw this today on Kickstarter. Sounds pretty interesting and not too expensive. Any opinions? XDA seems like a pretty good home for discussion on something like this methinks.
From site:
"A development board that lets you control devices via USB or over a network using iOS, Android or a PC. Create easy control systems."

Ticwatch 2 Global Edition

Heads up to those interested.. I think the kickstarter campaign is going to start soon. Looks like it could be pretty decent if the hype is anything to go by.
Hopefully they'll involve communities like this one in their development, it'd certainly help brand awareness!
Edit : In fact they have a pre-launch fb group here - https://m.facebook.com/groups/577584915748399
Edit 2 : Any devs interested in the watch should join, they genuinely seem interested in community participation, so any feedback from you guys would be good.
Early bird offer will apparently be less than $100

Got the Onyx... also cant wait.
Very nice! I was hoping to get a free one for nominating the onyx name, but my hints are falling on deaf ears!
Got an Oak too

Congrats guys, hope it's a step above the rest. It is refreshing to see companies interact with the paying public like that, I know pebble did really well with their campaign, but I'm not sure how open they were to suggestion from the community.
Unfortunately (fortunately) I procured a fenix 3 for my birthday recently and it suits me down to the ground, otherwise I'd have definitely grabbed one of these.
Looking forward to the Onyx to add to my collection: seems to offer a lot of possibilities and upgrades for the smart watch communities...wondering if I'm developing a watch addiction...12 steps here I come................
Does any one know much about the cpu mt2601 I think. It just seems a bit of a backward step to me ?

I pledged for an Onyx and can't wait to get it.... Hopefully they release the code and the XDA Community can make magic happen =)
I've received mine - it's easy enough to get Android APKs and Wear APKs on to it, but it lacks a browser and account manager so many apps will crash out. However, many also work perfectly fine, particularly once you modify the DPI.
It's a lovely watch - the best I've owned, although the Gear S running Android is also very functional in a different (ie fully Android) way.
Rooting is problematic for now - most of the usual apps aren't successful at rooting. Has anyone found a successful process?
No problems with the CPU and it charges quickly wirelessly. All in, a lovely watch.
Question - other than the custom OS features, is it worth more than the £99 Gearbest watches? I'm not sure, but it's certainly stylish.
I'd buy it at £130, but I think that's the price point all good smartwatches should be at.

Being an MTK2601 based smartwatch, are you able to dump the ROM files with MTK droid Tools and SP Flash tool?

iTouch Air 2 Smartwatch - Anyone have any info?

I just bought an iTouch Air 2 smartwatch. But I cannot find ANY - I mean ANY - info on the tech specs, even on their supposed website.. It is available in many stores like Macy's, or Kohl's or Target etc. The website for the watch is
https://itouchwearables.com/products/itouch-air-2?variant=12482537717783
I cannot even add a new watch face besides the 3 pre-installed, which are pretty bad.
I would appreciate any info on this watch, and also if it can be hacked .... Thanks!!

From the fcc pictures, it has a mt2502dv so it's an embedded CPU so no full android so you have limited hacking other than switching the watch face.
Google 2ALERITAIR2017 to get the pictures for yourself

Thank you so much!
Yes, I found the FCC pages, but there were only pics of the inside. I am not competent enough to figure out what it is. So thanks again.
Have you come across any kind of hacking for this hardware? I found a few Chinese pages, but is it possible to even modify the software in any way?

There is misc threads here on xda, but they don't seem to have progressed very much sadly.
Looking for info on any iTouch wearables devices. Especially the Air and Curve.
Like those before me, I've had an incredibly difficult time finding any technical info. Shame considering how cheap and widely available this device is.
The air is particularly puzzling as how to proceed. The charging port is not a standard USB and looks like there is no data transfer that route. Though I never before thought to ask this question, Google indicates others have: It may be possible to flash firmware over Bluetooth...
I got an Air as a gift, so no real loss if I mangle it beyond repair in the process of exploring. Given how cheap these things are, for $50 I'd even pick up a couple extra.
I'd like to be able to control smart-home devices via the watch. I think I could rig up something to communicate with a full Android device via Bluetooth -- like using a push notification or even sms to trigger an event - like to change a setting on my home thermostat.... but that's just circumventing the limitations of the iTouch and not actually adding something useful, so kinda boring.
What I'd really like to do is customize the interface on the watch itself.

Smart Watch Advice

I'm looking for a smartwatch for about $100. I might be willing to go up to $150. Refurb or used is fine. I definitely would like something thats got a fairly acurate hear rate monitor and step counter. Ecg and blood 02 would be nice but probably asking a bit much in this price range. I don't care about taking calls on my watch but do want the ability to atleast see who is calling and the option to answer or reject would be nice. If my Tinwoo Smartwatch from Amazon for $40 can do it, I dint for see that being an issue. A keyboard function on the watch would be nice. It definitely need to receive notifications for the Workplace Messenger by Facebook app. Any advice? Oh and ill be paring it with a Samsung Note 10+.
Check information over in the smartwatch forum:

forum.xda-developers.com
Sadly the xda mobile app claims the forum doesn't exist when trying to start a thread there.
I don't use or know about the app. Noticed this thread and watch discussion:
What smart watch to buy?
I never bought a smart watch in the past but am interested in doing so now. What's the best bang-for-the-buck smart watch I can buy? I use a Samsung Galaxy Android phone so I'm guessing an Apple Watch is off the list. I would prefer one that has...
forum.xda-developers.com
I appreciate the response but don't really see much useful information there. I see links to youtube review playlists, which would be great if I wanted to spend 10 hours watching reviews. Other than that, I see what seems like a reasonable statement. There is no smartwatch that will truly tick all the bells and whistles. Also, when it comes to many of the Chinese variants available, you have a 50-50 chance on any one particular model as to whether it it works good or works like cheap knock-off tech. So I was looking for suggestions on a watch that ticks the particular boxes I am looking for. From there, all I can do is order and pray for a good batch.
