| entil | has anyone tried the oura ring on sailfish x? https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201440787#2 is discouraging but for all I know it could also be vague and/or out of date, but is there zero chance of using bluetooth through android in there? | 04:29 |
|---|---|---|
| entil | (of course this would also involve installing google play services on the phone, which I may sadly have to do at some point anyway, as getting the app through a downloader is a violation of the terms and as much as I hate and as little as I use google, I don't need to get banned) | 04:30 |
| r0kk3rz | entil: you'd need to make an app of some kind, no idea what the protocol is like | 04:31 |
| r0kk3rz | you might be able to reuse some stuff for the amazfit bip | 04:32 |
| entil | r0kk3rz: what do you mean by that? | 04:32 |
| r0kk3rz | bt doesnt get passed through to dalvik | 04:32 |
| entil | r0kk3rz: I'm meaning to run it under the android support, by just installing the app, so do I need to do something extra myself besides that? | 04:33 |
| r0kk3rz | so native is all you got | 04:33 |
| entil | afaik oura allows tracking the biometry it collects through some kind of cloud interface, but the device sync is over bluetooth and I doubt that protocol is open | 04:33 |
| entil | I will contemplate the alternative of finding an old android-compatible phone somewhere and installing google android on it then :( | 04:34 |
| entil | thanks r0kk3rz! | 04:34 |
| entil | gotta take the kid to daycare -> | 04:34 |
| entil | found the project https://openrepos.net/content/piggz/amazfish | 07:43 |
| entil | gotta look into how well eg. sleep analysis works for the amazfit bip | 07:44 |
| entil | worst-case scenario is amazfish barely works for anything and all the analysis is done in-app on android and currently not implemented :( | 07:44 |
| entil | looks like the product fits, as my priority would be in sleep tracking, are the amazfit cor (sold out, extremely bad reviews) and the xiaomi mi band 3 (bad reviews) :P | 07:56 |
| entil | gotta look at the rest of them but this isn't very reassuring :( | 07:57 |
| entil | why's bluetooth not passed through to dalvik? | 07:58 |
| entil | is this a temporary technical limitation? | 07:58 |
| entil | https://together.jolla.com/question/179493/unable-to-connect-bracelet-smart-watch-by-bluetooth-remote-device-notification/ no comment there either on whether or not this is a temporary thing, but because it's been two years almost to the day I suppose it's either technically impossible or not interesting to jolla :( | 09:00 |
| r0kk3rz | its not simple technically | 09:27 |
| entil | but spotify and such allegedly work, is audio streaming significantly different from everything else? | 12:59 |
| entil | or just that music is so popular that sailfish can't afford to let it be broken, but biometric trackers and tesla keys aren't as important? | 13:00 |
| ender| | audio probably goes through OS API, while specific device support needs bluetooth passthrough | 14:34 |
| entil | ah, so it's just easier to intercept the outgoing audio playback and reroute it, makes sense | 18:30 |
