I was just about to switch from TR to this app but noticed it won’t run on my device.
I’m using a Hammerhead Karoo and sideloading. Can’t use my phone since my trainer only supports control over ANT+, not BT.
Niche use case, I realize. But what specific need does an indoor training app have for location services and Google Play?
TR, Xert etc all run fine. Is it possible this dependency might be able to be removed, since it really honestly shouldn’t be there in the first place?
You can read a bit more below, the problem is an app can somehow determine your location with BLE so google requires it. I am getting more and more interested in hammerhead. It might be easy for us to give you an APK without location services if that would allow you to test it.
Cheers that’d be perfect, but as mentioned in my second post the issue isn’t actually location services, but Google Play Services.
It apparently used to be possible to unlock the bootloader long ago and install that, but sadly not anymore. So any apps dependent on Google Play (and I again question why yours would actually need to be - what is it used for?) can’t run.
Edit: and yeah apart from battery life it really is the perfect head unit now that their software is starting to reach feature parity with others. And very easily sideloading proper apps is definitely a nice bonus!
No problem installing, I was referring to a pop-up that said the app required Google Play Services to function.
However, I now realize one can simply ignore that warning - the app works perfectly fine on the Karoo as it turns out sorry about that!
And I should have done my research, did not realize you don’t support ANT+, only BT. That sadly makes app unusable for my Bkool.
Are there any plans to add FE-C or will you be sticking with strictly BT?
