Hi guys, I'm currently working on a Watch Face based on the fallout Pipboy HUD, I based the idea when I saw one for the Samsung Gear and after looking for one I couldn't find one for our Wear devices so here we are.
Currently the Watch Face is working fine on square devices (I have a Samsung Gear Live and is working like a charm). The only problem is that the square layout is not so good for a round device, so I made two different layouts, round and rect.
I tried to test it on a round emulator, but without GPU acceleration the Watch Faces won't paint up. And if you activated it, the round emulator breaks up. So here's my request: Can someone with a Moto360 be my guinea pig, the only thing that I need is a couple of screenshots.
Here's the source to the APK: PipBoyWear
Also I'm attaching some pictures how it looks in a Samsung Gear Live and how it should look like in a round device.
In case that the watch face crashes (I hope not), just remove the app from the Phone and the Watch Face will return to the default one.
Thanks in advance,
BTW the application is free and if everything goes fine, It should be available at the playstore in a couple of days.
Ninja Edit: Also I forgot to tell but the Pipboy health status is related with your battery status, e.g. if the battery is at 50% the Pipboy will have an arm and both legs crippled, also his face will change to an unhappy one.
Edit 2
Ok guys thanks to Finagle69 the app is now up at the PlayStore and is free. Hope you like it. Peace.
Bless you for doing this. I LOVE the idea. It looks great in general, but you'll need to do some real tweaking to get it to fit right. See pic.

Also, you'll get a lot more responses if you post this in the Moto 360 subforum.
Perfect thanks men, yeah the think is that the device is using the Rect layout instead of the circular one. I'll have to check my logic and see what's wrong. I'll keep posting about the changes.
And yes maybe I'll make other post in the Moto360 forum.
Ok I have uploaded a new application build, now I somehow manage to test it on the Round AVD so it should work fine in the Moto360 (in theory). Feel free to test it whenever you can.
And thanks in advance!

I just uninstalled the old and installed the new APK build in your Drive folder. Unfortunately, no change to the face. It's still the same as I posted the pic of yesterday.
Ok, I have a good work around for the problem. Try to install it again, now two different watch faces will be available, one for the squared devices and another for round. Use the round.
Hope this is the good one.

Works! There are three issues as I see them.
1) The time should be raised so as to not obscure the text at the bottom of the image.
2) The battery % is stuck at 100% (my batt is 62% at time of picture).
3) The dimmed mode is not black and white as in the square version. B&W would be much more preferable to the color dimmed that is has now due to the crap battery life of the moto 360 :\
I srsly need to try to take better pics.
EDIT: As a general request, can the date/time locations be swapped? I'm not sure how the square faced watches function with this face, but the Moto 360's time would be covered by any notification in this implementation.
Ok, I have fixed the 3 issues that you mentioned, so the screen should dim now.
Also I take into account your request and moved the date/time locations. And yes it makes more sense to have the time at the top.
The new APK is up and ready to install.

It's a home run, man. Maybe some little tweaking of the date being a tad higher or something so it looks a little more even. But overall, it's now my favorite face for my watch. And I love you for it.
Better pics. Both on and dim. Really love the smiley face when lit and frown when dim. Great touch!
EDIT: Now that i study it. When you first select the watch face and apply, it's got the smiley face and lit up. Then when it dims, it frowns. When you activate the watch either by bringing it to your face or pressing the button, it goes lit again, but stays with the frown. Like the only way to make it be smiley again is to change faces then back. I hope that makes sense?
Double EDIT: I just reread your OP. Seeing it now, my guy is crippled on purpose! LOL. Great job, don't change a think there.
Perfect, thanks yo tour help men!
About the first "problem" the changing faces of the PipBoy, at start the information of the battery is not available so that's why when the device is dimmed, the UI is redrawn to use low contrast colors, showing the correct values of the battery. Nevertheless I added a new condition to prevent that on the first time the WatchFace is shown.
Also I added a little more space to the date/hour, hope it looks better.
The new changes are up if you want to get it.
And again thanks for your help, I think now the App is ready for the playstore.
I'll keep you posted.

Just updated to your latest. It displays perfectly right from the start of choosing the face, and the date looks much better. You've done a great job with this. Thanks again!

I was searching around over in sprintmogul.net and i came to this forum that had a link to this home plugin it looks really cool but costs money i was wondering if anyone could rip it? or something?. here is the forum link http://www.sprintmogul.net/Default.aspx?tabid=54&ptid=370&threadid=3241&forumtype=posts
and here is the link directly to the plugin http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en
thats mobile shell. its not a today plug in but a whole new interface. i didnt like it b/c it screwed up something with my ability to tap the screen. was all messed up. it was a cool setup, but didnt DO anything i didnt already have
Its a great program, the strange thing is my battery lasts about 60% longer.. yes 60%. I guess HTC home was a real battery hog.

ha! i thought i was trippin out about that but it is confirmed here.i use this and pocket plus however i am a noob so my opinion may not matter much
spb home 2.0 - blah blah blah
I have given the new spb home 2.0 plugin a shot. It is very nice. But, because it is not editable (yet) it should take a seat in the back. My two cents.
Nice but expensive
I really like the spbmobile but the cost is prohibitive. {the online discount is $40 and it's still 50 bucks!)
I will continue to use the freeware available here and other places until the cost comes down more.
$29.95 is the price I'm seeing...?
Yeah, it's $30 for me too. Where are you seeing that price tag??
I love MS2. I've gotten rid of a bunch of other plugins since installing this. The only problem I have with it is the no voicemail icon kills me.

I tried Mobile shell 2.0 and liked many of its features but just the opposite on the battery life
It sucked mine down twice as fast
I am using Mobile Shell 2. 0 and i absolutley love it.. I can make it through the entire day on one battery charge, with active sync directly to my exchange server about 5 times per day.. the interface is extremely customizable and you can create your own menus, display, etc... it has a terrific sliding cube interface, which reacts just like an iPhone.. everyone i show mine to instantly starts to drool..
i'd recommend you pick this up. it's well worth the money.
How did you get the cube interface? Are you using the Beta still?
Something is draining my battery, I can't put my hands on it. At first, I thought it was SPB mobile shell, but others are reporting that they are having battery issues without MS2
The program is great. It does not mess up your screen tapping abilities. The finger gestures are very quick and easy to do.
I liked Mobile Shell 2.0, had it on my device a couple of days. It looked sleek but my device is sluggish. Not sure if Mobile Shell was the cause but I didn't like it at all.

I am not using the Beta.. full blown version 2.. you can download it here. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/download.html?en
The cube interface isn't actualy part of the Today screen, rather, you have a separate menu called 'SPB Menu', which i made as my right selectable hot key. this takes you to the screen where your SPB 'Home', Programs', 'Internet', and other layouts are.. and it's within these menus, is the cube layout.
you can assign as many things as you'd like, for example, in the 'Programs' menu.. then when you open it, you simply swipe the screen to the left, to scroll through the pages.. you can have the programs listed on a grid view, or a list view.. as well as you can assign the motion of how the cubes slide (transition effects -- folding, sweeping, etc.. )
you can then make the 'Mobile Shell' part of your Today page, and it will then display just those icons, which when clicked, will take to those menus..
check out the web link for them. view the screenshots.. it's awesome..
When i started using this and saw how vastly customizable it is, i uninstalled HTC Home right away..
I can't speak to the battery drain. I am on 80% life right now. and it's 5:02 pm.. turned my phone on this morning at 7:30am..
some light internet browing while in the john, and periodic email checks with exchange, and some texting with the wife.. still going strong..
using EVDO network, and WiFi and Bluetooth turned OFF.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/download.html?en
nvm I misread
Theres new one has anyone tried it?
After looking at it on spb's website this shell looked like a good deal, but it's not what it seems to be as displayed on the site. As stated above, to have the "now" screen up, you have to map it to a button (or make it so it comes up everytime the phone wakes up. Personally, I don't like this. I'd rather have the "now" screen as the base screen and get to other places on my ppc from there. Is this possible?
I've only been playing with it for twenty minutes or so and I've had no luck finding anything yet. Probably doesn't help I've been writing papers for finals all night and my contacts are friggin dry. Meh, it's a livin.
**Edit**
Yeah, I'm an r-tard. I got version 1.6 something...guess I'll have to go back and find 2.0...................
*Found it, and it ROCKS.
As far as looks go, it's not very customizable; but I love how it functions. There's no real way to set it to the today screen, but like was stated above, you can set it to a soft button and it will stay up as long as you don't close it out. I'm pretty happy with it over all. It's pretty sweet.
There are a few that have created some nice themes.
There is s new version of MS2 out, 2.1.

So charge up that 900 mAh battery, grab your favorite beverage, kick back in your comfy chair, and have fun!
I offer my apologies in advance for the game that will soon consume what little bit of free time you have left. I am not responsible for loss of work, loss of appetite, loss of marriage, etc.
Updated to 0.4 Aug 26, 2008 -- See the next post for instructions and version history.
If you enjoy the game, please DONATE to support continued development! Thank you!
.
Installation
(Requires .Net CF 3.5)
Install the attached CAB file on your Jewel.
Instructions
If you have played video poker in a casino, this should be very familiar to you. This game is based on the "Jacks or Better" variety of video poker. I have no plans to add other varieties at the moment, so please don't ask.
Tap a column in the Payouts Chart to change your bet. The payout for Jacks Or Better is equal to the bet (you break even), so the 1st column bets 1 credit, the 5th column bets 5 credits, etc. For obvious reasons, you cannot change your bet in the middle of a hand.
Tap Deal, tap the cards you want to hold (tap again to toggle), then tap Draw to replace the remaining cards.
If you end up with a winning hand, you can try to double-up your win by tapping Double. Five new cards will be dealt. The first card is the dealer's card, and is face-up. Tap one of the face-down cards to try to beat the dealer's card. If you win, you can try to double-up again. If you lose, you get nothing.
Tap Exit to, ummm, exit.
Tap Options to access player management and game options. In the Players tab you can select the current player, view hand statistics, add more credits, rename players, and delete (reset) players. Adding credits will bring a player back up to 100 credits, and can only be done when a player drops below 100 credits.
Planned Future Features
Clean up sounds to remove hiss
Automatically hold cards that make a hand on the initial deal
Tap the Win amount to skip count-up of credits (this would be useful if you ever hit a 4000 credit win)
Make it more clear whether you are starting a new hand or drawing on a hand. You can tell because the button toggles between Deal/Draw, but I still want to make it more obvious.
Test on other devices, resolutions, WinMo versions, etc. It is currently only known to work on the Diamond with WM 6.1
Reduce memory footprint
Known Issues
One person has reported an occasional crash, but I have not seen this nor been able to reproduce it. Please let me know if you can provide any additional information.
Revision History
0.4 [2008-08-26]

Can you give more detail about not being able to hold cards? Seriously, I've been playing this game for weeks and have never seen an issue with that. Are you sure the hand wasn't already over?
sry after SR works fine dont know why but im lucky
OK, I took some time during lunch to package it up in a CAB, so it'll be even easier to install now. Apologies to the 90+ people that did it the hard way.
I'll have some time this weekend to tie up some of the loose ends (*cough* OPTIONS *cough*) ... so I'd really like to hear what other suggestions you guys have!
Thanks for playing, and don't let your boss see.
Hmmmm... no ideas??? Guess that means you're all subject to my whims.
Hi everyone! A new version is now in the first post. Here are the changes:

Hi, so I will let you know what I think. First of all, I love this game!!!
It runs great on my D, had only one crash till now.
But I wonder if I'm the only one who wants the order of the four mainbuttons (Exit, Opt., Double and Deal in reverse Order) ???
I mean, I'm right-hander, like, I think, the most of us and it would be much more comfortable for my thumb to have the deal- and doublebutton on the left side.
Just try it! (but maybe I'm really the only one with that desire...)
Another thing is that I miss only the one option to mute the gamesound...
Anyway, many many thanks for that game and I hope you will maybe change the buttonorder someday.
ps: my broken english could be better, but I think everyone knows what I meant.

That's a good idea! I'll add it to the planned features list. The placement of the Deal/Double buttons comes from where they are on the real casino game, but you make a good point that on a device, they might not be in the most comfortable place.

God job for new updates!
Hey guys, I believe we are going to need a general thread to report and discuss Nexus S bugs so here it is!
Let me start by reporting what I found so far.
1. Screen does not respond to the first/second touch after unlock.
2. Email app (not Gmail) does not zoom in/out. We are talking about a really bad experienced when displaying HTML emails.
3. Again for Mail app signature is not included when you create mail straight from Contacts.
4. SMS Delivery Reports are a MESS. Send SMS to a person getting delivery report pop-up for another completely unrelated number while the original message is still pending. We are talking about a disaster here lool
5. Also for the SMS Delivery reports. Pop up notification display the number and not the contact's name.
6. Many websites are causing the browser to act very slow for none reason. (with Flash activated or deactivated). Major example androidcentral.com. I found many websites that causing major lag on browser.
7. MMS are blurry as reported by many
8. Battery Never charge to 100% even if your phone displays 100% it drops to 97% once you unplug it. If I remember correctly I had the same problem with Nexus One.
9. Calendar Widget does not display "Today's" events
10. Google forgot to put Digital Zoom on Camera App. (And yes digital zoom is worthless but many people for some reason like it and miss it.)
11. Not really a bug, but if you notice on Gingerbread Google placed the keyboard 1cm above the bottom of the screen, is not located all the way to the bottom of the screen like previous Android versions. that 1cm is more than enought for me to hit blank screen and not the space bar when I am typing.
12. On keyboard you have to press and hold to select a smile icon. Then you need to keep holding your finger down until you actually select what you want.
13. There is not multiple select threats on messaging. So If I want to delete multiple threads I have to do it one by one...
14. Contacts Associated with Facebook Contacts have a really blurry really bad quality picture on caller id.
Wishlist:
1. We are on Android 2.3 and Google still doesn't giving us the option to install different locales. I mean not many people care for Language Menus but we do need the official Keyboard to add other freaking Languages. This is ridiculous...
2. Copy Paste is well improve but is very immature. Evey app use different method to generate copy and paste.
3. Hardware-wise the phone supports flawless 720p video recording. Why Google didn't include it?
4. The phone needs a native video-call app. Google needs to update Gtalk ASAP.
5. Called ID picture is way too small for this gorgeous 4 inch Super Amoled display.
add to error-list:
13. facebook sync is not working 100% correct - i got many gmail contacts witch are not synced with the facebook contact (would not be that bad but my girlfriends contact is not syncing right)
ad to Wishlist:
5. notificatins led would be cool ... (SMS, MSS, MAIL, ...) nut the 3 would be very very cool ...
I agree with it all. My main issue is the 'deadzone' which is the 1cm edge of the touch screen.

This is NOT a bug. This is by design.
To elaborate, from the stickied FAQ:
unremarked said:
Q: I unplugged my phone, and my battery dropped from 100% to 95% immediately, or it won't/takes along time to charge past 99%, what gives?
This is by design. Your phone will slow down and eventually stop pulling charge at or slightly greater than ~95% regardless of what your battery indicator says. This is to extend the overall life of the battery, as constant 100% to 0% charge/discharge cycles will cause it to fail prematurely. If you're interested in really pushing it to 100%, you can use a technique that is called "bump charging" and is better detailed here: http://bit.ly/f6xiZ0/

Sorry, jumped the gun a little. See the quote I edited in.
Like I said, this is by design.
EDIT: I also have some of the things you've pointed out listed in the Known Issues section of the FAQ, and some that you don't have.
BUG: touch screen area
the bug i've found so far... (which can be fixed by a screen calibration app)
the first half inch of the screen right above the 4 soft buttons, are not very responsive, unless you use your finger tips
so when you Naturally use the THUMB to press those quick shortcuts from Launcher Pro, or stock Android Launcher it won't react.... which is rather annoying.
never had that problem with the SGS
I started a thread over at Android Central to get people to visit reported issues to Google and star them. Here's the list so far. Let's add to it.
1) Random ringtone/notification tone changes: Ringtones assigned to contacts do not maintain assignment after a reboot
2) Disappearing App icons on the home screen or difficulty in moving them: Disappearing Home Screen Icons
3) Disappearing photos from the Gallery:
Issue 13419 - android - New pictures disappear in Gallery - Project Hosting on Google Code
4) Repeal the 15-min return policy in App Market (it used to be 24 hours): Issue 13116 - android - Change refund time in Market. 15min is way to little. - Project Hosting on Google Code
5) Accelerometer not working after using Sky Maps: Nexus S-Accelerometer will not work after using Sky Maps
6) After screen times out, you can't bring it back when using speakerphone or earbuds: after screen times out, you can't bring it back when using speakerphone or earbuds
Hmm, that deadzone seems like it'll be a troublesome issue for me... Can you please post a picture of the keyboard displacement? (I haven't got my NS yet, so I don't know how it looks)
i don't know if this is one of the error.. but the charging time is ridiculous. i could charge up to 2 hours and still not finish charging.. the battery run out ridiculously fast too.. with normal usage it barely manage more than half a day.. i adjust my screen brightness to the minimum level and turn off background data and auto sync (i just turn them on when i needed them), and use it to play a little bit of games and watching movies.. 8 hours is around the best time i got..
another known issue is poor wifi signal =(..i am standing 1 meter from my router and the signal could drop from full bar to 1 bar while my sister macbook could receive wifi from another room that is quite far from the router..
Something I noticed yesterday was notification tones almost nonexistent despite the volume being at full blast. When pressing the volume rocker I barely hear anything. I fixed this by rebooting the phone but still something that's a little alarming.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but i hope they fix the MMS/image upload orientation issue
I dont know if this is considered a nexus bug, but...
-Youtube app, if I search for, select, and watch a video...after completion, if I press search again, and type something in, after hitting enter it simply clears the search screen and returns to finished video. In order to make a new search I have to back back back all the way to the first youtube screen or force close/reopen youtube app. Again this is using the provided youtube app, not youtube mobile
I haven't experienced any of the things in that list, but then again they are pretty app specific and I don't use any of those apps. One thing I did experience was the Facebook app just logged me out and lost all my contact sync settings. This happened to me twice, but it is more likely a Facebook problem and not Gingerbread.
Oh, I did notice the battery charge thing but like someone else mentioned I don't consider that a bug.

I have no idea what they're talking about. o_o I have almost always used the stock Messaging app on every Android phone I've ever owned (and I've owned a fair share of them, see sig) and never once have I had a problem anywhere CLOSE to what they're reporting.
I've only ever had two issues with messaging was on the Nexus One, it's weak 3G/phone signal would cause alot of messages to not send randomly. And the other was my GF would sometimes receive duplicates of messages after flashing/reflashing/restoring things on my G2. Interestingly enough, no one else told me they were getting duplicates 'cept for her.
EDIT: Beyond that, I take what Engadget says with a great grain of salt. I consider them to be the FOX News(instead of the GOP, it's Apple) of phone/technology blogs.
What feasible feature additions would you like in the upcoming Tiamat XOOM ROM? Leave your ideas here, and I'll implement as many as possible.
Thanks!
please do a Euro one too!

I hope tethering is included. Phone to Xoom to PC. ;-)
for those of you interested in wifi only and europe versions, I need a system dump and the boot.img. i'm still trying to get this thing to boot. almost got it. xoom hc 3.1 is fully deodexed. It looks like a data and cache wipe will be required. So make sure you have the latest recovery from solarnz and do a good titanium backup. It looks like the initial release will be minimal. the idea is just to get everybody deodexed. but i've got some epic stuff in mind. Oh, somebody mentioned timeframes. Well, my wife said she's been feeling neglected and I love the androidz more than here. So i have to give her some attention for a while. But i bet if you go by #xoom on freenode, you'll have the most up to date info
also, this thread probably wont be the release thread. Get me those dumps. Also, start posting what type of features you are interested in. the more ideas the better.
also, be sure to stop by the Transformer board and give a big thanks to Roach for giving me the spark to get this thing going. The xoom community and the Tiamat Xoom Development Team are in his debt. Epic pwnage Roach!

Well I'll tell you of one idea, though I highly doubt that it will be possible. But the ONE feature or mod I'd love to see above *ALL* others for the Xoom is the ability to adjust contrast & saturation on the screen. Again I know this isn't necessarily a typical ROM feature in the classic sense, but regardless if there is any way this can be done I'd be more interested in this than in any other single feature or improvement.
Only suggestions i have for a rom are improve the lag with the launcher, that is really the only thing that annoys me with my xoom. Also desktop as the default for the browser.
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Thanks
Dan

Some nice transition windows effects, also the numeric battery like the one you are using, the turn off animation like the gingerbread but in landscape mode. So many, so glad the hear that you are working on a rom.
Patiently waiting. Thanks.

Cyanogen style tweaks please. Home app locked in memory. "Status bar" power widget also please.....
im just a measly noob but here are some suggestions....
change the recently used apps to tile across the screen instead of having to scroll through them
desktop browser mode permanently set
any HBOgo/netflix mods if possible
tv off gingerbread animation
bigger geebeez and the wifis
any good ported widgets/live wallpapers
ext4/swap file system?
customize LED notification color
neon green colors!
Feature Requests:
Fix wallpaper scaling. I want to be able to set wallpapers without having to crop.
Built in screenshot.
Colored keyboard themes.
Built in OC options.
Custom Widgets.
I'll edit and add more later.
how about a way to lock out screen inputs so we can watch video or use GPS without worrying about bumping the screen. That would be useful for folks with kids who watch cartoons, etc.
Midway through typing this, I thought of a better option.
Map hardware keys (i.e hit both volume buttons at once) to drop down the bottom notification bar windows style, so that it isnt there when we're watching movies or playing games. Then you hit both volume keys again to bring it back up.
My original idea was to have some way of hiding it when you bring up certain apps (emulators, moboplayer), but still have it retain it's functionality. Like you dont SEE the back button, you can press where it is and it will still work.

THIS FEATURE IS WHAT DRIVES ME NUTS
I think I might donate if we can get rid of that notification bar while playing games/movies. My only real problem I have with my xoom.

Also maybe there is an app? But adjusting hdmi out resolution. And custom light levels like Cm7.
Also its annoying that I can't turn off xoom screen and still output hdmi.
So glad to hear a Rom is coming!

So me and my wife are pretty disappointed that there's still no blue light filter on the G4, she does a lot of night reading on it before bed so having the blue filter on Nougat (via night mode enabler by Mike Evans) was a big deal.
I was under the impression that Oreo was the first Android release that "officially" had a blue light filter feature, so I'm pretty confused about why it's not there other then the fact motorola probably doesn't genuinely care enough to add it.
But anyway, does anyone know of a way to enable it simular to Nougat? I can't find anything about it or I'm just missing it. I did see I'm not the only one looking for a way, so hopefully someone has an idea.

I'm having the same issue after updating yesterday to 8.1. No nite mode anywhere. So I googled and found what seemed like a reasonable workaround.... add the UI Tuner category to Settings by long pressing the Settings cog in the quick menu. However, I then found that did nothing. No UI Tuner, unlike when I had it on 7.0. The idea was to install the UI Tuner, then download Nite Mode from the Play Store.
So, I downloaded the UI Tuner from the Play Store, only to find it was weird. It didn't place an icon on my homepage or in Apps or the App Drawer. It was supposed to put the UI Tuner category in Settings under System, but it didn't. It did place a sort of icon on my homepage so I pressed it and got the UI Tuner list. However when I tested out a couple functions on it, they didn't seem to do anything. So, another feature Motorola decided to leave off the Moto G4 (I have a G4 Plus), the UI Tuner.
You might try these things and see if they work for you. Unfortunately they were of no help to me. I called Motorola, spoke to a 2nd Level Tech. He knew nothing about it and kept repeating my issue back to me as they like to do. So we scheduled a 3rd level tech to call tomorrow, who will no doubt tell me to factory reset the phone, which of course won't help and would be a lot of work for nothing.
I tried one of the 3rd party filter apps, but didn't like it. Guess I'll try a couple others.
