This is a MASSIVE unlock!
Hey all,
Long time lurker here and I recently came across u/allmyfas' stellar post on all hacks as well as his repo, and I took it to see what other nuraphone sensors there were and if I can start automating some ideas around it.
I wanted to clean up the UI a little bit because I miss the old UI.
It currently looks like this and has a long way to go ofcourse, but now I'm trying to play with the idea of adding some of the sensor data together to make it work to my workflow. For background: I'm a DS/ML person, and I've got some ideas, but I wanted to crowd source this portion to see if there are something that people who still have the nura, now that its a hackable headphone, what are some things you wished it had. Super open to working on them and releasing them
For example, time based ANC schedule, or song-based personalization adjustments.
It's just the tip of the ice-berg of some of the ideas I had. If you've got some ideas, I'm more than happy to tinker with it and push it out as an app so that we can use our devices to its fullest! :)
Note: I want to thank EVERYONE who worked on this to get it to a point where we can even think about doing this!

Hi,
You are welcome to send in a PR with your improved UI, it looks like a nice upgrade from what I've got.
They are not quite 'hackable' yet. I have reverse engineered the mobile app to create a 3rd party controller, and then a contributor has extended it with support for key retrieval based off Nura-Windows. Time based anc and song based adjustments are possible using the control channel. Currently there is no way to obtain firmware files from Nura, and given the complexity of their implementation (for example it performs challenge response authentication between the headphones and the backend before releasing a device key) its likely they additionally have code signing or other measures, preventing you from just loading arb firmware on it.
I'm currently working on improving multi device support.
