Gadgetbridge

Gadgetbridge is a Android (4.4+) Application which will allow you to use your Gadget (Smartwatches/Fitness Bands etc) without the vendors closed source application and without the need to create an account and sync your data to the vendors servers.

Right now this is in very early testing stages and only supports the Pebble.

USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. It will problably not work. And if it works it will annoy you more than it helps you ;)

Features:

• Incoming calls notification and display (caller, phone number)
• SMS notification (sender, body)
• K-9 Mail notification support (sender, subject, preview)
• Support for generic notificaions (above filtered out)
• Apollo Music Playback info (artist, album, track)

How to use (Pebble):

1. Pair your Pebble though the Android Bluetooth Settings
2. Start Gadgetbridge, press "connect"
3. To test, chose "Debug" from the menu and play around

Known Issues:

• No reconnect, if connection is lost, you have to press "connect" again
• Can't reject or hang up phone calls yet
• Notifications are not properly queued, if two arrive at about the same time, one of them might get lost (TODO: confirm)
• Android 4.4+ only, we can only change this by not handling generic notifications or by using AccessibiltyService. Don't know if it is worth the hassle.

Apart from that there are many internal design flaws which we will discuss using the issue tracker.
