[COMPETITION] PebbleWear - A homescreen replacement bringing powerful notifications
Alpha Release:
Well, this could have gone a lot better. This app ended up being a larger project than I initially imagined and was filled with bugs that were hard to track down. I'm releasing a limited version that only displays notifications (no interaction) so I can release something mostly functional. This is a project that I really want to see finished, so my work on it will not be stopping.
Either way it's 4am here. So I need to sleep.

With Pebble Wear your notifications are always accessible right below the watch face. Notifications are mirrored exactly as they appear on your phone and are shown as a list of cards packed with glanceable information. (Text, images and icons)
Notifications are sorted by priority and only vibrate if they would on your phone.
The functionality doesn't end there, by pressing the back button you can dismiss a notification (also dismissing it from your phone) and by pressing the select button you can view additional pages and even trigger actions on the notification.
Core Functionality:
Version 1 will have at least the following functionality:
Basic digital watchface
Notifications mirrored
Images
Icons
Dismiss
Actions
Support Android 4.4+
Future Functionality:
Possible future functionality:
Customisable watchface
Notification Pages
Specific Android Wear notification functionality (eg quick reply actions, extra notification pages)
Expandable notifications
Support Android 4.3 (if in demand)

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've made substantial progress since starting development.
This is my first time working with Android and many of the Pebble SDK features so I found it helpful to develop small test apps to understand individual features. This has been very informative but has probably slowed down development.
Either way I have the following sorted:
--Watch App UI--
Memory management (how much I will store on the watch)
Binary image manipulation
Animations
--Test Notification App--
App Messages (the following data is sent to and displayed on watch)
Notification text
Notification icons
Notification images
Image dithering (surprising simple algorithm, but very effective)
I now need to combine my test UI with my notification sending which will give me an early usable version. After that, notification actions, and then finally add a tutorial/setup guide to the Android App.
seems promising!
not working so good to my phone and pebble (loading on every notification) but I want to keep a look on the development
Great concept
Great concept. I didn't know this was possible!
Consider posting the full Android project source onto GitHub so we can fork.
This looks awesome
Woops, ignore this
uhm,...is this project still active? Would be great.
Sorry about the delay. I've decided to redesign it to better fit the Pebble rather than just being a port of Android Wear. I'll still be supporting the same feature set except for the watchface. I'll hopefully have something done by the end of the year.
I've been watching this and haven't heard anything lately. Any word? @RichardGG

Thanks for your interest. I've had a bit of a software development dry spell but I want to get back into it ASAP. This is a big project and I'll be basically starting again from scratch so unfortunately, if I do continue, it won't be done until later this year. I'll keep this thread updated on any progress I make.
Good luck

Hi Guys,
sabHub has just gone live in the marketplace! As the name suggests it is a client that will interface with your sabnzbd+ install
Functionality at the moment includes:
-View Queue
-View History
-Add NZB via Newzbin ID
-Delete Individual Download
-Pause Individual Download
-Clear History
-Remove individual history items.
-Landscape view supported and shows more detailed information
It has a trial and costs €1.29 for the paid version however the only difference is the presence of a small ad on the 'Add NZB' page. So no time limitation or reduced functionality. However only paid up customers will get the Live Tile functionality when it is introduced (which will be very soon!).
Cheers,
Bean

Thanks for sharing!
just a Q... why have the refresh and the settings icons in the top left/right instead of following the rest of the apps by having it in the bar at the bottom where they belong?
@Gate Keeper A couple of reasons for this.
Firstly- The Microsoft UX Guidelines published say don't put a application bar on a panorama control which is what my UI is based around
Secondly- adding the application bar to the panorama control will reduce the usable space of the list which in portrait mode is pretty limited as it is.
Thirdly-There is a lot of dead space at the top of the panorama control that I wanted to make the most out of!
If you look at the eBay app, that's where I got the inspiration for the settings/refresh buttons- which I think in a panorama context work quite well.
no worries, just thought i'd ask, wasn't have a dig at you or your app, sorry if it sounded like that. and yes i have noticed it on the ebay app, just not with the corner overlays that's all.
Just installed and works great! Good job!
One thing though, the Get API code thing didn't just get the code, it also got a load of the HTML so didn't work. I'm using SabNZBD 0.5.3, not the latest version, maybe that caused a problem?

no i didnt take it that way at all! I'm still finding my feet with wp7 development. any feedback on UX design etc is most welcomed and always good to start a discussion on these things!
@adamwebb28- Thanks for the feedback I'll look into the issue. Obviously a html scraping issue. I'm not on the latest version either so I'll have to see what the HTML layout changes are or come up with a more robust way to scrape the api key that will work across versions.
Hi There, I just purchased the Non-Ad version. Excellent stuff. any Idea when we'll be able to use other repositories like NzbMatrix . Any Idea how i'd get a newsbin ID? Cheers
@smoothbond thanks for supporting the app!
My eventual goal is to have a full newzbin/nzbmatrix search tool for WP7, whether this is in the form of a separate app or integrated into sabHub i'm not sure yet.
WHAT IS FACADE?

Facade is a simple app that brings your social circles together under one platform!
Screenshots
WHY I NEED IT?
How many times your find yourself in a situation when you need to post same status update 4 times? or upload same picture 4 times? One for Facebook/ One for Twitter/ One for Sina Weibo (for Chinese users) / One for LinkedIn (Business related)
Sooner or later, two possible outcomes:
1. You spend your day updating your social life and the fun thing becomes painful
2. You give up one circle. say, twitter. And your high school friends on twitter complains.
With Facade, you can manage all your social status update with a simple click of button. You can simple tap on the icons to choose this message goes to which network (facebook/twitter update, or everything update).
You can also, pull all statuses update from all social circles into one place and view them, like them, retweet them or comment them.
Facade DOES NOT requires you install those apps like others do.
Facade DOES NOT separate your social updates like others do.
WHAT ARE KNOWN ISSUES
This is alpha built. Sorry about the rough edges:
1. The settings UI is pretty ugly. And please only enter numerical numbers in the options. (I know it is a simple fix and I expect to clear it tonight)
2. After commenting your facebook update, the texts are not cleared (so they stayed there) , nor there is a feedback message telling you the posting is successful or not
3. It takes about 30 seconds initially to have your status pulled from the social sites, which has no UI message to tell the users. The user may click reload button but nothing come out in first 30 seconds are they log into the social sites.
But it will populate in about 30 seconds - 45 seconds depending on network speed. I need to add interactive message to let user wait a bit.
4. the full picture is rendered too small. You can click to view the full picture but still, the default full picture in each status is too small.
WHAT FEATURES WILL BE ADDED?
New features and bug fixes are happening on a daily basis. Currently I am planning
> Add Facebook "Like" button
> Add fun Smileys to make user's posting experience much better.
> Add System wide sharing to Facade option so that you can share anything to
Facade (currently only pictures)
> Make the UI more fun and cool and usable.
> Make it more efficient , less power consuming.
WHAT DOES THE DEV NEED
1. your support! Simply be feedback to me is enough
2. your testing! Please, if you don't mind, whenever it crashes, please use Google's reporting to send me an email about the crash. No personal information is logged.
3. your feedback in general! New Features! Bug reports (either here or through google crash reporting)
DOWNLOAD LINK In Google Play Store (PLEASE EXPECT NIGHTLY BUILT ON THIS!
Public beta in market is up. Thanks any kind feedbacks!

Project Details
'(b)orn (a)gain (s)imon with (h)ands', or 'bash' for short, is a watchapp game for the Pebble inspired by Simon the game.
Basically, the objective of the game is to input the sequence of commands shown on the screen of your Pebble. You start off with one command and after every successful round, 1 or 2 commands are added to the sequence. Commands include pressing one or a combination of the three buttons on the Pebble, and a "shake!" command (hence the 'h' in bash).
If you are looking for a short game (or long, if you have great memory) on the go, or feel like testing your memory, you might want to try out this watchapp

What's Planned / Timeline
8/16 (exam time still ) - 8/23
- Begin - create a new repository for this game on GitHub and start with the basics (creating menus)
- Implementation of core parts of the game (sequence generation, sequence reset, game-pause system [still thinking of whether to do this or not], score calculation
As time goes by, I will be updating the dates... however the general agenda will be as follows (incomplete):
- Add & improve shake command recognition
- Add multiple difficulty levels (this is to enable/disable certain commands)
- Add ability to have scores for each difficulty

Progress History
8/14 - Posted some screenshots, and just spending some time on design
8/17 - Currently have the menu screen so far. Unfortunately, I will be gone for the next 3 days, so my timeline will be delayed a little (which should not be a problem).
...
9/05 - Currently posted some screenshots and the .pbw. I will later come home and upload it to the Pebble app store.
Hello guys,
Sorry that I've been away since... the beginning of the competition but I'm here on the last day to report on what has been finished / not finished.
Basically, the game is done however multiple difficulty levels (and therefore multiple scores) have not been implemented yet.
Although they won't be made in time for the competition, I do have plans to complete / continue to work on this game after the competition
Currently, I posted some screens, along with the .pbw file for anybody that would like to try.
After coming home from work later in the day, I will finalize everything in terms of submitting to the Pebble app store and getting my GitHub linked here.
Edit: If you do try out the watchapp, remember to wait until you feel a little vibration (for the shake commands) indicating that the shake was registered. Otherwise you'll lose!
I realized how much battery the vibration would use... hence, I will display the vibration status on the screen instead
-Joseph
PS. Best of luck to everybody

Hello there, I'm the creator of the competition app Pebby - Baby Helper.
Pebby helps you take care of your baby. It allows you to easily set the last time the baby slept, ate or had its diaper changed. Glance down and check how long it has been since any of those events.
Pressing one of the three buttons starts or stops the timer for each of the three activities. The last time or time interval is shown besides each activity.
You can also view statistics and graphs of your baby's activities on your smartphone, on the configuration page.
Now that the competition is over and the first version of the app is released, I'll continue to listen to feedback and ideas for Pebby, to further improve it.
As this app is based on actual requests from moms, it's important for me to receive parents' inputs on how to improve it. Feel free to offer suggestions in this thread or via PM.
I hope you enjoy Pebby and be sure to tell all your friends with babies about it!

Project Roadmap
This is the project roadmap right now:
Create barebones project with app name and icon
Display button icons
React to feeding and diaper change buttons and save their times
React to sleeping button and save its times (start and end)
Persist time data locally for future app executions
Experiment with Action Bar to conserve screen real estate
Explore phone-side persistence and graphs display with Javascript, prepare JS Bundling
App config page with activity graphs on phone
Show 'X time ago' for each of the activities
Reliability improvements / tests
Design store assets
Future work:
Offer a way to register activities for twins
Here's a first draft screenshot:
Progress Report
The project is going along nicely, with the basic draft layout already done.
The app already has a menu icon and can be used to track the last feeding and diaper change times.
Next steps are to implement the sleeping times and save the information between app executions!
After some more development time, here's where Pebby is:
I've implemented the sleeping times, the time values persistence and redesigned the icons as an action bar to free up some much needed screen real estate.
Bonus points for automatically supporting buttons' pressed state now (because of the action bar, nifty little layer).
The absolute basic functionality of the app is now done, but it's time to start considering the storage and display of graphs: iOS apps require some time after bundling the working Javascript, which I'll need to implement the remaining features.
No screenshot today because the work so far has been mainly behind the scenes:
Communication between watch-phone
Storage of all values on phone, along with latest values on watch
Barebones configuration page
Communication between phone and configurations page
Ability to reset values history and start from scratch
App submission to the Pebble Store with Javascript bundling for iOS
And we're starting to see some graphs here!
The challenge end date is closing in and the app finally displays fuzzy "X time ago" texts.
I'm going to use the time that's left to essentially debug the app and make it more reliable in cases where the phone becomes disconnected from the watch as well as design the required store assets.
App released!
Check the first post for all the goodies, and thanks for following along!
Just wondering if this will work with a Pebble Time Round...? And, if not, can you create a "round" version??

I didn't do anything specific for the round Pebbles. A number of fixes and improvements are planned for the future, including upgrading the app to use the new SDKs and correctly drawing on second and third generation devices but unfortunately I haven't had the time to do it. So it's not forgotten but I can't promise dates right now.
If you do end up testing it on Pebble Time Round can you please report how it shows right now?
Thanks

Try these free ones instead - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74009537&postcount=107
* advantages
- overlay and not a seperate app
- no extra battery drain
- the image works and moves with the official samsung AOD app
- you can create your own images
- no delay or screen bugs
Sounds good.
Thank you.
dhvani is just a che.. not working fully, even his own backgrounds images just work on s8 not fully on s8+ as he claimed. I already bought his prime apk and sad to confirm all these

Issue dixed in current update.
Works as described on Note 8 unrooted. However , i noticed that I lost the ability to use the clock widget. I can't swipe to see the other pages in the widget and interact with it. So I can't click next song for example when playing music.
This is the case even with pratial images (not full screen one's). As if im only clicking/interacting with the image overlay. Is this the case with everyone else?
Any fix? Does it work normally on rooted devices? How do I fox it pls ><
A little expensive the full pack... how many images can personalize? 1 or more?
It seems that there is no more support...
Nice app, but the paid options are way overpriced in my oppinion.
Paid user. Worked perfectly on my note 8. But now using a s10+, Nadroid 9.0 Pi.
The AOD images goes off often and aren't consistent. Only the images within the a few mm of the clock (box range) remains. While the rest reappearing sometimes only and on interactions.
Pls advice
