does it run on Android ?

Apk file for testing?
---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------
It's on play store but not compatible with smartQ z1Watch

*ClockFace Selection*
*SWApp Link dev update 0.935b*
You can now choose the clockface (from settings).
The clocks in the list are real clock showing the actual time
I have more clocks to add.
Credits to +Daniel Ortiz and +Roy King for those first clockfaces.
If you want your own clockfaces added to the app, send me your files:
https://plus.google.com/101149847908870195450/posts/jfFJts5bQDW
There is a slight bug: when you choose a new clock and come back from the settings the clock take some seconds to update. I will fix this, but i'm taking my GF to the cinema and wanted to send you this update before i come back.

call acceptance and sending through dialpad
is it possible to add a feature in this app, to recieve calls and send calls through the dialpad without a sim card and phone having to be next to you kinda like the samsung gear does,because this app would be better than the gear manager in many ways(i love this app great job)that would be great thanks.

*Voice Control*
*SWApp Link dev update 0.935*
You can now enable *Voice Control*
When the app is listening the red mic icon will be displayed. The Android SpeechRecognizer is very unstable. when it crashes the icon disappear, if it's the case wait until it come back.
The listening is only active when the app is displayed, therefore there shouldn't be any problem with battery.
The implementation in only partial so far.
Key words on the main screen or clock screen:
Call : Remote Call
Text: Remote SMS
Play: Media player control
Find: Find my phone
Lock: Remote Lock
Location: Get GPS Location
Setting : Settings
Clock : Display the analog clock
Stop: Stop Listening
Key words on incoming notification: (not for call or sms notification so far)
Dismiss
Local : open app on local device
Remote : open app on remote device
Stop: Stop Listening
*Stay tuned, a LOT more to come...*

*Shake it !!*
*SWApp Link dev update 0.936*
* On main screen and clockface: shake to toggle Voice Control On/Off (to be enabled in settings)
* On Notification, Shake to Dismiss
I will add more implementations in the app, like in media player control.

*Dual Time Clock*
*SWApp Link dev update 0.936a*
You can choose the time delta in settings.

*Smooth Second Hand*
*SWApp Link dev update 0.936b*
Option to get a smooth second hand instead of just a movement each second.
Some bugs fix.

*Notification Auto dismiss, Settings menu reorganized*
*SWApp Link dev update 0.94*
New option to auto dismiss notifications with custom delay.
Full reorganization of settings menu
(Call Forwarding menu has been added to general settings)
(Call and SMS notification settings has been added to "Notifications" setttings)

For MiPS cpu & SDK 19?

*HUGE update*
*SWApp Link dev update 0.936c*
*Please go in settings menu to choose your communication type, it has been changed since last version*
I have completely rewritten the communication engine:
Better Stability
Possibility to enable independently each Communication type (only the first instruction is taken into account)
Keep Alive and Status check for Push Type (local and linked names are red or green following their status)
Option to sync Connection type: when a connection type is enabled/disabled on a device it’s synchronized on the other (if there is an active connection)

*!!! Push Communication is having problems!!!*
We have grown too fast and reached the quotas on Google app Engine
I have sent a request to google to higher my quotas but until it's done you might encounter problem with the push communication.
I'll let you know when i have news.

There is now a notification for Outgoing calls too, which will allow you to hang up from the watch.
Incoming and Outgoing calls notification are now automatically dismissed at the end of the call.

*SWApp Link dev update 0.96g*
You can now use SWApp Link as your LockScreen: to be enabled in the settings.
Incoming notifications now turn the screen On AND dismiss the lockscreen.
(Depending on the locksreen you use you might need to disable it first.)

Official Android 2.2 update - changelog

Just thought to share my observations with everyone else here since HTC is notorious for not publishing their changelogs. I happen to have two Desire's – one with official Froyo released yesterday and one with 2.1 - update 1 (software number 1.21.405.2) . So before I upgrade the other phone I thought to do some comparison. So here it is…
Some highly anticipated features include:
• Apps to SD, the "Froyo" way
• 720p video recording
• Built-in Flash 10.1 support for web browsing​
New items in Applications:
• App sharing
• News and weather
• Wi-fi hotspot
• Navigation
• Google search
• Videos
• Flashlight​
Messaging:
• Larger message compose area with animated attach icon
• Character counter is now always present
• MMS slideshow​
Keyboard:
• Language switch button​
Widgets:
• "Profile" and "Ringtone" widgets from "More HTC widgets" list are now installed by default. Even if you don't need them you there is no need to uninstall them cause they are very small in memory size
• Calculator widget (4 styles)
• Hotspot switch
• One more style for Messages widget – full screen message list​
Minor and major app changes:
• Gmail app now looks a lot better.
* Black top bar instead of gray (a place where your account name is displayed)
* sender picture displayed in message header
* labels are now colored just like in your browser
* Options to confirm delete, archive and send instead of just delete
* Auto advance can be set to newer, older or conversation list.
* Message text size can be set
* Option to notify once for new e-mail, not for every new massage​• New version of Google Map 4.3.1 (which is still missing from the market, btw)​
Settings:
• Sound and display settings are now separated and reorganized with few things added
• Display now auto rotates in three directions (cw, ccw, and portrait)
• "Manage Applications" section has undergone some nice changes. Now there are tabs: "Downloaded", "Running", "All" and "On SD Card". Every app can be transferred on SD card if enabled by the developer
• Portable Wi-Fi hotspot (also available in applications)
• Security settings now include Pattern lock along with Password and PIN lock. There is also an option to delay locking the phone after it goes to sleep.​
Miscellaneous changes:
• Recent app list (long press home key) now looks a bit different, better design if you ask me
• New icons for those HTC switch widgets (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth…)
• When you turn on the display, first hardware buttons are lit and then screen is turned on, contrary to the previous ROM version… just a minor thing.
• Added a frame to caller picture
• Two buttons on caller screen mute and speakerphone now have small border​
Bugs / issues /disappointments:
• I noticed a few bugs / glitches regarding full screen weather widget and messages widget after system boot. After connected to PC via USB, widges that display data (weather, messages, agenda, news) just reload data again. Also after dissconnect from PC the same story. During this full screen weather widget dies. This is serious bug!
• Right border is missing from Speakerphone button on caller screen (sometimes right border is missing from both buttons)
• Animated attach icon in new message rolls out a few buttons. Rightmost button (edit slideshow) is missing its bottom border.
• No sound notification for new mail?!
• Still there is no promised out of the box Divx support. Shame…​
I don’t use social networking so I can not comment anything regarding these features. Please feel free to add more stuff to this list cause I am sure there are some more treats in there I overlooked, especially in Settings area.
Also let's fill the "Issues" section cause that may inspire HTC to perform a maybe minor update and fix few more things.
Best regards!
Does the offiacial stock 2.2 rom support Wireless N? Thanks.

Google posts full Android 4.1 Jelly Bean changelog

Google has posted up a big, bullet-filled page with all the stuff it has added in since 4.0.
Android 4.1, Jelly Bean
Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, is the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet. Jelly Bean improves on the simplicity and beauty of Android 4.0, and introduces a new Google search experience on Android.
Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
What's new in Jelly Bean
Accessibility
With Jelly Bean, blind users can use 'Gesture Mode' to reliably navigate the UI using touch and swipe gestures in combination with speech output.
With the new accessibility focus feature, you can move a cursor between controls to maintain a target for the next action or a source for the next navigation event. You can double tap anywhere to launch the current item with accessibility focus.
Text traversal in accessibility now gives you more control – choose to move between pages, paragraphs, lines, words or characters.
TalkBack, a screenreader for Android, now supports gestures to trigger actions, to navigate applications, and traverse text.
Get full support for braille accessibility services (download BrailleBack on Google Play).
Android Beam
With Android Beam, you can now easily share your photos and videos.
Instantly pair your phone or tablet to Bluetooth devices like headsets or speakers that support the Simple Secure Pairing standard by just tapping them together.
Audio Accessories
Support for USB audio docks, shipping later this year.
Browser and WebView
Browser has improved performance, CPU and memory efficiency. With better performance for animations and HTML5 canvases and an updated JavaScript Engine (V8), pages load faster and feel smoother.
Browser now has better HTML5 video support, and has a new user experience. Just touch the video to play and pause, and smoothly transition into and out of fullscreen mode.
Browser now supports the updated HTML5 Media Capture specification on input elements.
WebView now supports vertical text, including Ruby Text and other vertical text glyphs.
Calendar
Calendar is more buttery. Content fades in, animations are sprinkled throughout, and swiping/paging between days is smoother.
Calendar will now display event colors if you've given your event a color on your PC.
The 'Today' button on the action bar now shows the current day. When viewing an event's details, you can now email all the guests with a single tap.
Notifications for upcoming events now display more of the event description to let you quickly see relevant details without having to open the app.
Notifications for upcoming events now let you email all the guests without opening the app, and you can choose a quick response such as "Be there in 10 minutes" or type your own.
A new option in Calendar settings lets you create your own default quick responses for emailing guests.
You can now snooze an upcoming event reminder right from the notification.
Calendar has a new 7" tablet layout that is optimized for the form factor.
When viewing Calendar in portrait orientation on tablets, you can hide or expand controls to give you complete control over how you view your Calendar space.
Calendar will now remember whether you've chosen to hide or expand controls so you have a consistent experience viewing Calendar whenever you open it.
Camera and Gallery

When viewing photos in Gallery, you can pinch to zoom out to enter "filmstrip mode" and rapidly review photos. When viewing photos in filmstrip mode, you can swipe up or down to delete an individual photo. You can also undo the delete with a single tap.
When taking a photo, a new animation sweeps your photo off the screen. There is now a new paging animation when swiping between photos
Camera features a new animation for switching between the front-facing and back cameras.
When focusing on an object in Camera, a new animation gives you visual feedback on your focus state.
Gallery features a new animation when selecting a photo from within the album view and back.
Data Usage
You can now dismiss a data usage warning without changing the data threshold set for warning notifications.
Disable background data usage on certain Wi-Fi SSIDs by designating them as mobile hotspots.
Android now automatically detects when one Jelly Bean device is tethered to another's WiFi hotspot, and intelligently enables or disables background data usage on the SSID.
Face Unlock
Face Unlock is now faster and more accurate, and startup is smoother with a new animation.
You can improve face matching accuracy by calibrating your face in different conditions and with different accessories (e.g. hat, glasses).
Face Unlock can now optionally require a 'blink' to verify that a live person is unlocking the device rather than a photo.
Internationalization
Jelly Bean adds support for bidirectional text and more input languages to make the platform accessible to more people around the world.
There is improved support for Arabic and Hebrew, including a new Arabic font, in the platform.
You can now enter text in one of 18 new input languages, including Persian, Hindi and Thai. Additional Indic languages Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam are now supported by the platform.

First galaxy coming from iPhones

Hi everyone, so this time for the first time I got a galaxy, I'm still trying to figure out all its possibilities but there's some things that I'd really loved but can't find out how to do them and I'd need some help.
The first thing is that I'd like to mute some notifications for instance when I receive a notification on YouTube I'd love to be able to read it on the lock screen or notification center but I want no vibration nor sound
The other thing is that I really need a music app that can show lyrics, I have lyrics for all of my songs but the standard music app doesn't appear to show them

Musixmatch looks for the lyrics in the or database or internet bit I already have all the lyrics for my songs, I just need a player in which I can see them.
I tried eleven from cyanogenmod but that shows only lyrics from srt files, I added them in iTunes on the metadata in fact when I, on my iPhone, pressed once on the album art it would show the ones I added.
I tried rocket launcher but didn't like how it showed them, is there really nothing as simple as pressing on the album art (while song is playing) to show the lyrics?
Thanks for helping me out
With respect to notifications, you should check the individual app settings around notifications. Many of them have discrete controls for sound+notification bar and allow you to set things as desired (for example I use Textra for SMS and it does that) but I'd expect not all do.
The notification sound settings in the base system settings will effectively be the default for any app that does not otherwise control the values.

Yes indeed you are right, I couldn't find much notification settings in the galaxy settings but I found for instance Twitter notification sound in the Twitter settings, unfortunately they don't work, they won't save so I end end up disabling them altogether

Do Not Forget To Press Thanks If You Like It

Hi!
Do you believe that there will be a global version of this in the future? Or am I supposed to stop dreaming of it and just update to this from stock 7.0G?
Thanks for the upload!
What I don't understand and it is really annoys me is why each any every app wants to have access to internet. Even calculator request it as well as video and gallery.
Is there a reason for that except sending some report (maybe all my data ) back to Meizu?

Global development is mostly dead. Don't expect an update on global. If you want update, just go to A.

You can block access to internet on security.Atleast flyme is allowing to do so.
Did anyone have issue with the NFC? I uploaded the "Super Night View" edition, which is also downloadable form flyme.cn and the NFC reader doesn't do anything. I tried different apps and none of them read any tags. The apps are aware if the NFC is disabled as it request to enable first. But can't read any tag.
Is the "Super Night View" mode reachable in the camera app in the firmware uploaded here?
Tried both type of 7.3 ROMs and the NFC doesn't work in any of them. The NFC reader app is aware if it is on or off but can't recognise any tags.
Does anyone having the same issue? Is there a solution for it? Or maybe my phone is defective?

I think you misunderstood NFC in p6p as ordinary one. Understand that, android beam is not supported by it.So that we can't use it to read tags and further. Its only use is for paying at shops. But also it is limited to some chinese banks and apps.So basically no use of nfc for global users.
Talking about super night mode on camera. Still not implemented even it's available as new feature. Hope it comes with flyme 8 if they release one for p6p.

Not true, I am using it for paying and it is not chinese app. I have tried with 2 banks in Poland and it is working.
Now i have some problems with debugging mode. Despite the fact I can run it no phone, the let's say home unit, is not seeing my phone.
