VitalWear - VBBE Engine Recreation for Wear OS

[weary geode]

I thought it was saying to pinch the screen

But nah, it's the hand wearing the watch that needs to pinch

[tall pelican]

?

Just read about it
Whaaaaaaaaaaaa that's crazy

[weary geode]

Yeah! They did a TERRIBLE job of explaining that to people lol

I finally got frustrated with the reminders and looked it up and was blown away

[tall pelican]

I am glad to hear about that, since it seems like they removed the former one-hand gestures entirely

[tall pelican]

@clever ice just curious if you're still actively working on this project or if its more or less shelved or on hiatus now?

No pressure or anything, just curious.

[clever ice]

Hiatus. Wish I could say otherwise, just had other priorities recently. But it's open source so anybody who has the will can pick up where I left it off

[tall pelican]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[uneven wind]

I think there's another person who forked your project to connect to VBHelper indeed!

[clever ice]

I think I heard that. I wonder if they used the branch I had been working on and just finished it off for me

[tall pelican]

Yeah, here it is.
https://github.com/457R0/VitalWear/releases/tag/VW-VBH

[thorny stream]

still dunno how exactly one's supposed to do the wearos-to-vbhelper thing, gonna see where that goes tonight

[fiery kiln]

Does this work?

[tall pelican]

I just know it exists

[thorny stream]

...aaand my vbbe's now refusing to turn on and just sputters the green light a lil

[viscid barn]

Pretty sure that’s Red Eyez’s fork. He popped in not too long ago and confirmed it. He said he was working on some UI changes and internal workings and plans on releasing an update once he’s more confident with the code.

[thorny stream]

attempted to transfer a new character, timed out when i realized i may need two nfc-compatible phones (given that it sounds like the companion app that needs nfc has to connect to vbarena as if it was the vital bracelet, which also needs nfc), and the baby got deleted

...something to think about

gonna try and transfer one of my pre-existing mons to the app this time around

on second thought, i ain't getting past this

[uneven wind]

I remember they said they were still working on the VBHelper connection, so maybe it's not implemented yet

[thorny stream]

mm

almost forgot about the keystore sitch also, guessing that won't be a problem should this fork become the main version

[trim yew]

As you can see getting things to render correctly has been a pain in my ass, but im getting closer being able to release a stable apk for you guys

I feel so bad people are downloading my broken apk 🤣 im sorry im extremely new to programming but im not giving up till we can transfer to VBHelper

Peep the beautiful full screen background though, I worked hard on that

[thorny stream]

yooo, thank you for your service

[clever ice]

Did you find my branch for VBHelper and VitalWear where I was working on exactly that?

It was pretty close. I just had to reconcile the difference in how VitalWear and VBHelper stored transformation history

[thorny stream]

oh, beyond transfer logistics, is there any word on updating or managing already-imported cards on a watch?

never thought to translate names beforehand, although at the same time iunno if the current apk ('s data, at least) expected to last

[uneven wind]

It was said before that unfortunately that won't really be possible between the current and next version, so we'll have to re-import them and the characters will have to be redone

[thorny stream]

aw heck, cheers anyhow

[trim yew]

Alright progress update: UI is has been restored in Vitalwear. VBHelper is able transfer with Bandai toys again and now i can finally begin focusing on VBH-VW

im uploading the re-reuploading my fullscreen vitalwear (it doesnt have transfer yet but i need to have backups!)
and i figured out how to branch and upload to my own code so i dont fuck up anyone elses

[trim yew]

So to clear confusion, I deleted my previous entries so there is now only one link: https://github.com/457R0/VitalWear/releases/tag/template
Note: I apologize i was trying to make my fork update its so no one else would download the broken source and couldnt figure it out so im just reupping under a new release

[sonic crater]

Thank you for all the effort!

[fiery kiln]

I’m sure this has been asked before, but could VitalWear potentially be developed for the Apple Watch in the future? Possibly as an Apple TestFlight app since you wouldn’t be able to upload it to the app store

[tawdry granite]

Its possible yes. Is it planned? No.

Its been said that if someone wants to, theyre free to fork the project and develop it to be able to work on Apple Watches.

The main reason is because from what I understand, Apple development can be hell + u need their proprietary hardware to even work with it.

[elfin saddle]

i want so badly for there to be a simpler way to load DIM/BEm on the app, but i understand why it is the way it is right now

[tawdry granite]

Yeah its kinda painfully annoying lol.

Get there needs to be antipiracy checks, but I have my bracelet in storage for a reason, that reason being I got a watch with VitalWear now lol.

[dim umbra]

We’ve received several requests—or rather, questions—about this, but
releasing on Apple devices would require financial commitments like the Apple Developer Program, as well as Apple devices to serve as development environments, and we’d need to provide these to every developer.
It would be a different story if there were someone willing to cover those costs for all developers…
Due to these issues, releasing the app through our current developers is basically not feasible.
As others have mentioned, unless someone capable of developing for Apple joins the team, the chances of a release are zero.

[fiery kiln]

Those are fair points tbh and it completely makes sense, the only other way I could think of would be a go fund me maybe? I’d be willing to back that project 100%

[weary night]

Good morning. I’m sure this has already been asked, but is there any chance that Vitalwear and VBHelper will have transfer capability someday? I’m trying it out and it seems they can’t connect (or I don’t know how), and I’d love to be able to store them. Thank you.

[edgy lynx]

Just discovered the project, and way too much excited by it :3
I'll give it a try in the next days :3

[clever ice]

Someday... Yes... I don't have a good timeline for that though anymore as it depends on me being able to re-prioritize it or @trim yew finishing his fork

[gilded girder]

I just found this project. Is there any link and how to install this? Do I need original VB & dimcard to be able to use this? If I don't have both, what can I do? Thank you. 🙏🏼

[wooden lagoon]

SHINKA!

@gilded girder has evolved into Baby I!

[clever ice]

You could probably search the thread for some how to instructions. My last release can be found at https://github.com/cfogrady/VitalWear/releases/tag/v0.4.1

You do need a VB and Dimcard. This project is not meant to take away sales from Bandai... It is meant to compliment what Bandai produced. The BE can still be had at a very reasonable price from ZeninTCG... And Vital Heroes are dirt cheap.

Someday you will no longer need these, but they will be required from any of my releases until the original devices are no longer available at retail anymore at reasonable prices.

[gilded girder]

Thanks for the clarification. Really appreciate it. And thank you for your great works. Didn't try it yet but already love it. 👍🏼💪🏼

[fiery kiln]

Would It be possible to make a version of Vital Wear for Pebble watches such as the Pebble Time/Time 2?

[weary geode]

Highly doubtful, that'd probably be a new ground up build and even then there's the issue of things like NFC not existing

[fiery kiln]

Yeah that makes sense actually, would probably be a lot easier to just make a Digimon v pet from the ground up specifically for the Pebble, there’s already a tamagotchi app and a few Pokemon apps

[weary geode]

Agreed, there's a lot of good opportunity there

[thorny stream]

...they have what on the pebble?

[fiery kiln]

They have a tamagotchi app and watch face to go with it, they also have ‘Pebblemon’ which appears to be Pokemon crystal running on it, aswell as various other pokemon based apps

[clever seal]

I'm having an issue with the companion app in 457R0's fork. I installed VitalWear (Both the watch app and the companion app on the phone) and got the firmware sent over to the watch just fine, but as soon as I go to import a Dim BIN, the app crashes. Doesn't even request NFC connection with the Vital Bracelet; immediate crash.

Bluetooth and NFC are both enabled and the phone was seeing the watch. And again, the firmware was able to transfer just fine.

Also worth noting that I do not have this issue with the companion app of the main fork.

Is there some kind of interference if the companion apps for both the main fork and 457R0's fork are installed on the same phone? It's the only thing I can think of at this point.

[tawdry granite]

Cant transfer firmware. Uninstalled/Reinstalled due to nfc transfering character not working, but now cant even do the firmware part of vitalwear lol.

Im on GrapheneOS, old vitalwear worked fine with importing cards and firmware.

As for the nfc transfer between VBH and VW not working, the other part is in #1325936394207625267

Can pm companion app logs I grabbed from grapheneos if needed (phone logs in app doesnt do anything for me).

Channel opens successfully then fails.

"ioctl seems unsupported" whatever that is.

[tawdry granite]

Randomly worked now? So weird...

[tawdry granite]

Some UI stuff needs to be adjusted if possible eventually, but it works great so far.

[marble dawn]

Yeah, permissions for the apps need to be exact in Graphene and even then it may take a few tries to work. Took some tweaking but works fine on mine as well.

[tawdry granite]

Yeah, sometimes its quite pain to get things to work lol

[topaz elbow]

Isn't the newest update supposed to have full screen? It doesn't seem to work on my galaxy watch

[wooden lagoon]

SHINKA!

@topaz elbow has evolved into Baby I!

[polar turret]

That's a fork someone made on the project

[topaz elbow]

It's the RedEyes fork I believe, that seems to be the most recent

[delicate star]

https://github.com/457R0/VitalWear

[bronze sage]

Is there a way to transfer the data from the normal vital wear to the full screen fork

[sonic crater]

[gilded girder]

Hi. Wanna know which firmware did vitalwear use? Does it use the same gameplay as original or the gameplay is modified using mod firmware?

[wooden lagoon]

@gilded girder has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[polar turret]

1.0.B

[gilded girder]

Hi. I'm using Galaxy Watch4 and I'm having trouble to debug. Cannot pair somethng like that. Using wear installer 2 and easy fire tools seems cannot establish debug. Got any other method for me to try. Thanks.

And where can I find the firmware. The official already down. Thanks

[viscid barn]

Check out the guide I wrote up here to help with debugging and transferring the needed files to your watch. #1101249544588628110 message

For firmware, you can find it at https://humulos.com/digimon/vbbe/manual/. Go to the Firmware Updates tab and download Version 10b.

[gilded girder]

Thanks bro. Noob question here, I see the GitHub mention 20A Firmware. So can use the 20A or just 10B firmware.

SHINKA!

@gilded girder has evolved into Baby II!

[gilded girder]

May I know how to use this file? Sideload the app-debug.apk to watch?

This apk can make the vitalwear full screen on watch right?

[viscid barn]

10b. The current version of Vital Wear doesn’t support 20a yet.

[viscid barn]

Yes. Sideload it onto your watch using Bugjeagar. Yes, this fork of Vital Wear shows it in full screen.

[glossy ibex]

Can you transfer data from the original to the new fork, or is it a complete fresh install and start from the beginning?

[tawdry granite]

Fresh install

I managed to overwrite and update but transfers broke

so I restarted

I didnt really do much but a few champs tho

[tawdry granite]

Uhhhh

Guess I need 9500 steps now for this stage XD

Was at ~950 steps out of 1500 and day rolled over and now its negative lol

I assume since the OS reset the daily steps to 0, the app bugged out as it thinks those ~9000 steps went poof

[sonic crater]

you just have to stop and restart the stage

[tawdry granite]

Yeah ik

Still a bug to be fixed tho

[mystic helm]

Hey, how are ya? Does the link not work anymore or could you tell me where I could get this fork? Thank you

[pine herald]

[fickle nymph]

Im stock in here

[fickle nymph]

after a couple of try, install and uninstall, clear cache and data on both watch app and companion app, make sure that all permission is allowed before the importation of VBBE firmware. Thanks! 🥰

[tawdry granite]

I had the same thing happen

eventually it worked luckily

[viscid barn]

Go to the releases page here: https://github.com/457R0/VitalWear/releases. Under Assets, download the apks for your watch and phone.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it

Good evening! I hope this doesn't sound obnoxious, but I am about as tech savvy as a 90 year old. Can someone walk me through how to get this on my galaxy watch 8?

Like I am a 5 year old. Small words. Easy instructions 😅

[viscid barn]

You can download the latest fork of Vital Wear at https://github.com/457R0/VitalWear/releases.

Hi. I am having problem during training. It will crash when start training. I choose background training when 1st prompt. And is there a way to delete character? Thanks in advanced.

[thorny stream]

dunno 'bout the crashes, but if you hold press on a character in the menu, you'll be prompted to delete them (as well as set them as the main or support)

[gilded girder]

My step also not increase. Should not tick background training or tick it?

It seems adventure also crash. Anyone know any solution to fix. Thanks.

[uneven wind]

Does the app have permission to work in the background from your watch?

[viscid barn]

It is most likely a permissions issue. Make sure you allow Vital Wear the following permissions:

• Fitness and Wellness > Heart Rate
• Notifications
• Physical Activity

Background training can be ticked or unticked, up to your preference. If ticked, then training will still happen even in the background of the watch. If disabled, it runs only a single training mission.

[gilded girder]

Yup. It works. Thanks for the tip. But step still not count. Adventure, battle, training works fine.
