Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I have had to use recovery mode on my new Pebble Steel. When I upgrade from Recovery v1.5.5 to v1.14.1 the bluetooth stops working on the Pebble. Pebble have given me a link to download v1.14.0. How do I access this version of the firmware with Rockwatch in order to up load to the Pebble?

Do I have to use an Android or iOS device to do this?

When I have run the upgrade process it has been very hit and miss taking many many attempts before it is successful. The upgrade process goes right through till when the "Install and run Pebble app" message appears then nothing happens. On the successful attempts the "Install and run" message appears briefly before the "loading...." message appears and the watch reboots.

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there any way to upload later versions, (e.g.2.8) of the firmware to the Pebble using Rockwatch?

From reading this forum it seems Rockwatch will still work using the later firmware. Is this correct?

Even though the N9 is no longer a "Current" phone it is an awesome phone much better than the models that followed it. I hope development of apps like Rockwatch continue

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I use the 2.4 firmware - and everything works fine.
however, not every "watchfaces" can be set.
I tried to firmware 2.8, works, but worse.
to change the firmware I use android device (nexus)
Why do you need version 1.14.1?

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Hi Alexxxl,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't need v1.14.1 except that's the only version offered by Rockwatch as an update. Also until your reply I was unsure whether or not Rockwatch would work with a later firmware.

I have tried using a Nokia 920 to do the update but the Pebble app for the 920 cannot update from the recovery firmware v1.5.5 so this phone is useless to me right now.

Looks like I'll have to find an Android phone and update from that.

Thanks again for your help.

Alan

you welcome ;)

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I used a friends Android phone to update my Pebble. It automatically updated to 2.8.

Am I better off using 2.4.?

I like the extra features I'm now have, but am having problems getting watch faces to replace some I was using on 1.14.1

I'm looking for a a watch face like Fair forecast that I had for 1.14.1 and a time zone face that will work with the 2. series firmware and Rockwatch. Any ideas? If I want these features do I need to go back to 1.14.1?

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I'm afraid there is no universal remedy.
you need to select which applications and try to work best on the firmware that will suit you.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

How do you find out which is the best firmware?

Does 2.4 work with more apps/faces than 2.8?

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

see what happens ...

1) On firmware 2.8 - works most of the "watchface" but sometimes you have to install them with Android devices, since "Rockwatch" can not set them back
And also, on firmware 2.8 does not always work correctly control your music player

2) on firmware 2.4 - normally works to control your music player. installed many "watchface" through "Rockwatch", but not all!
and not all applications can be put even through Android device (need a newer version - 2.8)

3) if the firmware 1.14.0 it - works great player controls.
* well installed "watchface" through "Rockwatch"
but very little of interest "face" on this firmware

in the end I chose a version 2.4

ps - sory for bad english :)

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Thanks for your very helpful reply.

Don't apologise for your English it is quite OK. :) I can tell you it is much much better than I could do in your language.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I read earlier in the thread that Rockwatch is built using Python.

What version of python is used? I see there is a Harmattan version, Is this the one?

If I understand what I've read correctly the Harmattan python has things in common with QT. What is the difference between Python and QT? Could QT be used.

The reason for my questions is I am am keen to have a play with the Rockwatch app with the idea of making it compatible with Pebble SDK 2.

As you will no doubt guess I am very new to using either QT or Python, my programming/coding experience is limited and it's been quite some time since I did anything like this.

My next question, I see the Pebble SDK is only supported for Mac OS X and Linux, however there is Python for Windows. Since I'm only needing the Pebble library, but presumably not actually using the SDK otherwise, can I still use a Windows machine or will I need to use Linux?

Any other helpful suggestions will be appreciated.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Hi, I also desire to make new Pebble app for my N9 but lack of time.
- Currently Python version for Pebble SDK is v2.7 but v2.6 (harmattan) is OK
- In my knowledge, Qt on N9 v4.7 is not support Bluetooth API (Qtmobility 1.2 has some API but I dont know if it work) which mostly using in code (qtdbus with bluez Dbus interface may resolve this)
- Peeble SDK using gcc to compile watch app to ARM binary, so it need a linux enviroment or using offical Pebble Cloud on web browser.
Hope this help :)

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

set to watch the latest firmware 2.9 - surprisingly works great with my N9.
I recommend to try!

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

HI all,

just a short question: Since Nokia store seems to be officially gone now, I'd like to ask if someone could upload a compiled .deb of rockwatch to open-repos, or at least help a noob out with a guide on how to compile said .deb from the files on gitorious.

Cheers

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I would also like to try Pebble on my N9, but can't find Rockwatch anywhere.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

The author previously wrote that when the store closes nokia he posted the program on openrepos

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I'm not able to use store on my N9 nor I find Rockwatch on openrepos/warehouse.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I sent a letter request to Mike to replace Rockwatch on the open-repos

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Thank you! Please keep us updated what his response is.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Is HTTPebble working with watch's firmware 2.9.1 or only in 2.4 version? I installed Aerotracker and some weather forecasts apps on 2.9.1 FW and none of them can communicate with phone...

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I've got a Pebble! But I can't find Rockwatch anywhere, either in OpenRepos / Warehouse or N9 section of Opera Store.
Also a N900 Pebble app would be great!

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Perhaps someone wants to recompile and push to openrepos ?
https://gitorious.org/rockwatch/rock...063ac6d3f3985:

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I have no idea if this works or not, and I cannot support it in any way, but it compiled ok :

http://www.outrightsolutions.nl/~san....3-1_armel.deb

I can push to openrepos, but someone with a pebble needs to give some feedback whether it works at all.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I will test, but you need to change permissions to download that file ;)

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

heh yeah I just saw it :)

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

;) installed, paired the Pebble, rebooted both Pebble and N9. But app so far just crashes after some seconds. Will try to see what terminal says when started from there.

1. Needs pyserial )

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I'll be on vacation starting about now, so I cannot help in the next few weeks. Any missing dependencies might be found elsewhere on openrepos?

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I still have rockwatch laying around......

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Well, it seems to wants to work.
But it needs some python modules, so far identified:
PyBluez
ordereddict
pyserial
lightblue

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Anyone have PyBluez package for Harmattan ?

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

Hello everyone,

Someone he'll make a compatible version Pebble Time as on Jolla? Rockwatch is obsolete, it doesn't working.

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I believe most people now uses 'pebbled' which is available in openrepos and discussed at:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=93399

And recently some first experiments have been done regarding the pebble time... I have the old one so cannot comment on this :p

Re: [Commercial] Rockwatch - Pebble smart watch support for the N9
 

I know for this app, no problem with my Jolla. But I prefer N9 as main phone actually. No compatibility with pebble time yet, pity.
