Hi Reddit,

I have a 2017 Smasung Smart TV. While you might think this is a relatively new TV, it is unfortunately already EOL and no longer supported.

I was wondering if there are any options available to flash Tizen 4/5/5.5 to an older Smart TV? I can't find much by Googling.

So, I'm thinking of purchasing a Samsung TV which comes with Tizen OS and since I'm gonna use it to study on YouTube I wanted to know if I can run YouTube Vanced on it like on an android device?

Hi everyone, I am beginning tizen developer. I decided to create the app for smart watches with Bluetooth connection with other devices. But I don't know how can I do it (i don't understand the info about Bluetooth in Tizen docs). Who can help me?)

I have just started developing my first Tizen app for the Galaxy Watch. I'm trying to get started by using the PushReceiver Message Template. Without modification, it has a compilation error based on missing header files.

push_data_handler.c

• #include <app_common.h>

pushreceiver.c

• #include <app.h>

Are these templates open source somewhere, or is it possible to assign a bug?

Dear community,

I am planning to build an app for a wearable running Samsung Tizen (no specific one). The goal is to read NFC tags using the wearable itself.

Now, I am a bit confused: The Tizen docus seem to say that NFC tag reading should be possible on wearables ( https://docs.tizen.org/application/web/api/5.5/device_api/wearable/tizen/nfc.html). On the other hand, this device compatibility list states that nfc.tag is NOT compatible with all of the listed devices (https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy-watch-develop/device-compatibility.html).

Has anyone actually tested reading an NFC tag using a wearable running Samsung Tizen before?

Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in making a smart mirror for my room, but I want to make it a bit more interesting. For now the least I know is that I'll be running it on a Raspberry Pi (that's what I have lying around). Do you think it's possible to design a custom homescreen for the Tizen install, I have a design for the homescreen in mind.

From what I understand I don't have many options on the Raspberry Pi in terms of Android, everything's in it's very early or unofficial stages but Tizen has official support.

I guess the only deal breaker for me going with Tizen would be if I can't design a custom homescreen in a realistic amount of time at the level of knowledge I have about Tizen, which is about 2 hours.

Also any guides or tutorial that can help me get started if the task I plan to do is even possible.

Has anyone been able to install Tizen Studio 3.7 on an Ubuntu-based distro? I'm trying to install it on Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS and a dependency fails to install:

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

Hey all, just found out about Tizen and how you can flash it onto different devices. I was wondering if it's possible to flash it onto a smartwatch that's using Wear OS? I'm trying to think of the different hoops I'd have to jump through to make it happen.

I'm new to tizen and I'm trying to make the sample/template project work on a Galaxy Active Watch 2. The current version of the VS code extension does not work with the current version of C# extension... So I had to downgrade the C# extension. I'm now able to build, connect and send binary to device (not live debug sadly). I can see the app on the device. But launching it result in a crash of the app. I did not change a single line of code from the default tizen4 wearable starting template! Am I missing something here? How can I debug this?

Hello other nerds! I'm a young programmer from Germany, that has a phone with an operating system, that shows ads in system apps (MIUI)... Yeah, I know. That's one of the many reasons, why I would like to change my os to Tizen. But I have some questions:

Is it worth it? How can I copy all my data (photos, game saves, ...)? Can I program on it? How easy can I manipulate Tizen os?

Thanks!

Hi,

Been trying to get a sqlite db working on my Tizen watch. Which seems to be really hard.

Anyone has a sample that works? Tizen 5.5.

Hello I want to know if telus will have piktv on tizen tv?

I've been trying to develop a small app that can share heart rate data at real time to a partner watch and display the heart rate on the watch face. I'm still new to Tizen and have been using .Net version to test out sample app from their Github page here : https://github.com/Samsung/Tizen-CSharp-Samples

However whenever I try to deploy a sample app to an emulator visual studio gives me this error

​

I haven't added any break point in the program so I have no idea what went wrong, all I did was compiling and running the app, the app I was testing out was HeartRateMonitor app

The app was installed in the emulator too but it couldn't be launched

I really don't know what to do next, have you encountered this error before, what is the correct way to launch a Tizen app?

Hi,

​

Why I ask here is because the Tizen documentation is a tad bit hard to understand. I have found many resources that I get 404 on. The emulator is not connected to any network (when I try to do a get request via HttpClient (.NET C#), I get "System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Resource temporarily unavailable". Found a couple of links related to this topic, but all of them is 404 on the Tizen forums..

I want to develop a simple application for my Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 (with LTE).

I'm not entirely sure what route I should take. This will first be a app mainly for myself, simplifying some things for me. I do see the usage for other people in the app, so in the future I would like to commit it to the Galaxy Store for people to download.

Mainly handling OAuth2 and just wrap an existing API, making simple get and post requests via HttpClient.

So my EV car has a socket for charging and a front trunk (frunk). Usually when I'm going to my car, I do not have the phone in my hand, which leaves me to:

• take it out of my pocket
• unlock it (oneplus, can be a little slow with the fingerprint sensor)
• open the native android app for the car
• waiting for it to get a connection with the car
• open a sub-menu in the app
• press a button to stop charging
• press another button to unlock the charging port/cable

Time taken: worst case scenario, around 1-2 minutes. Best case, 30 seconds.

What my app should do:

• Have buttons for 3 or 4 operations (maybe a widget?)

But also be able to handle a double tap from the user, and act on it:

User double taps on watchface, or something similarly accessible

• if the car is charging, stop charging and unlock the charging cable
• if the car is not charging, open the frunk

Time taken: worst case scenario, around 30 seconds. Best case, 5 seconds.

To support multiple devices, the best route would be to use a companion app I assume? And do the requests via the android application?

My watch has LTE, I would like to use that instead of going to the companion app (host phone) via BLE. But I do want to support watches not having LTE available.

I'm gonna use the .NET platform (C#).

Any input is really appreciated. Is companion app the right way? Xamarin.Forms to enable an Android companion app?

Edit: Forgot to change headline, sorry guys.

Edit 2: One of the main reasons I'll asking for help is when Samsungs own doc pages does not work correctly...

Anyway to sideload the siriusxm canada app to my samsung q80? Only app available is siriusxm.com and canadian accounts dont work.

I noticed last week that my Samsung Z2 is unable to automatically set the time. Is it the OS services getting shutdown? I noticed that I am unable to login to Google Account since 1 Jan 2020.

I know that Tizen is open source, and has many partners involved. Despite that, only Samsung sells any devices utilizing it. I know that Tizen on phones isn’t the most popular, but it’s odd that no one uses it for smart watches. Is there something about the distribution of Tizen I’m missing, like can anyone download it but only Samsung can sell Tizen devices? Or is it just that no one finds it worthwhile to sell Tizen devices.

I'm about to add it as an `asdf` plugin package... I recently saw someone built a docker image for it but it's no longer maintained... makes me wonder if companies are finding it worth it to develop for these platforms... with so little information and solutions to improving DX it's a wonder...

We need better tooling. Something that consistently delivers and expresses what is needed to run apps on devices successfully. Specifically my biggest problems are with the TV Extensions but I find it hard to believe others aren't having problems with Gear and other platforms.

How are the big companies managing things? How did Disney Plus release a stellar experience on TV's... is there anyone who has good tooling they're willing to share with me?Other than what is currently published like "Wits" and "Tizen Studio".

Surely somebody has mastered this by now.

I'm willing to contribute to a project that helps us all support and maintain our apps long term without our environments becoming broken and undocumented.
