@mfj78 I think the watch doesn't like persistent notifications. The same happened to me while listening to WhatsApp voice messages, which for some reason mantain a notification while playing.

I can't say much for the FB app, maybe someone else can help you with that.

I see. Just have to live with it then. Thanks man!

Hi!
I'm only here to say thanks to "your" app, I can recibe my most important notifications :) Good work!
Regards!!!

I'm not an android app developer myself, so I just did substitutions in what I was able to reverse-engineer by decompiling the app.
I would like to make notifications for "every app" possible too, so I'll try to achieve it and let you know if anything comes up :)

If you want to try playing with the apk too, you can use APK Easy Tool like I did.
Sorry but I'm not really comfortable uploading the decompiled code.

I see. There is also a device request for this watch on gadgetbridge.

Hi everyone, just received my device too. Will try and add this to Gadgetbridge and see how I go. Will let you guys know of any progress.

I have forked it on my account and will be uploading any updates on there. If any of you want to test it out, let me know.

I volunteer too!! @erap320, I know that this is more work for you but I wanted to help in some way. I decompiled the file with APKEasyTool and I wanted to know if you could give some directions on how did you added/changed the notifications on Readme.md, is something I was trying to do too. Thanks in advance.

[erap320]

As I said about not uploading decompiled code, I also would like not to make this kind of stuff the main point of the repo, but I am happy to tell you about the changes I made.

It mainly was swapping package names of chinese apps with the ones I wanted, as you can see in Substitutions.txt. This happened in smali_classes2\com\pmpd\business\device\notify\NotificationService.smali and smali_classes2\com\pmpd\business\device\notify\ConstantPackageName.smali.

The changes to the visible names of the apps were in res\values\strings.xml, the icons in res\mipmap-xhdpi and res\mipmap-xxhdpi

Hi @erap320, don't worry I understand the reasons for you not put code here and I totally agree with it. These directions will help us to help each other, let's see what we can do and even help Gadgetbridge project. Thanks.

Great app mod! It seems the watch vibrates randomly. I have a few persistent notifications. Could that be the issue?
Also the watch vibrates every time I enter and exit the FB Messenger app.

Hey, I'd like your help regarding the Lenovo Watch App. I've made an account on lenovo.com and when I try to sign in on the app it tells me I need to "bind my email", so I put my email in it asks for a verification that was supposed to be sent out. The problem is I don't receive any email! I've tried numerous times and it doesn't work and so I'd like your help

[DG68BB]

I know this has nothing to do with the mod, but I was interested of anyone could help with this... Thank you!
