Hacking the Norm 2!

After receiving my device, to put it succinctly - it's good, it's not great.

The app is a bit rough round the edges, not the most feature-filled or beautiful app in the world. And the firmware on the watch is fine, but also not amazing. There's a couple of bugs and weirdness that could be easy to improve!

As such, I'm going to be seeing what I can do about the above - will use this as a bit of a live blog.
If anyone has any thoughts, ideas or anything, let me know:

15/05 - A custom app and a hacked firmware!

Since receiving the watch, I've managed to built both a (bare bones but functional) iOS app, which pairs to the watch, pulls its data and can issue firmware upgrade.

My rudimentary iOS app

Also, I've managed to make a small patch to the firmware (ironically, the patch was to fix the update screen being stuck at 1% until it was done), which I managed to push to my watch successfully!

Custom firmware screen!

This proves both of what I was hoping to be able to do: have a custom app, and custom firmware, that could combine to add whole new features to the app!

Next steps: try a bigger patch (reordering the screens on the watch) and to build a "patch" system, so people can add their own patches to the firmware by turning them on or off in the app!

iOS only for now, but given I have the source code, an Android app would not be terribly difficult to mirror I would say.
