Shameless plug: on android you can use gadgetbridge ( https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge ). Supports pebble (and miband) and is a complete replacement of the official app (you can setup the pebble after unboxing, upgrade firmwares, install apps and language packs). Functionalities are only limited by the lack of the internet access permission - it was left out on purpose - so things like voice dictation and some apps/watchfaces that need network access do not work. It is available on fdroid if you don't want to build it yourself!

Thanks!

(And thanks for GPLing it, I probably won't port it to iOS, but it's nice to know you've chosen to let me if I want to...)

It would be really cool if you could :)

<insert thoughts about the GPL being the best fit for truly free/open source projects, left out because it would have probably started an off-topic flamewar/>

Just for your information: our code implements the pebble protocol over BT classic, that is not allowed to run in background on iOS. The new devices (pebble 2 and pebble time 2) will use the same BLE/GATT protocol on android and iOS though: we will have to implement that too (uff ;-) ) but it will ease the life of a dev willing to port it to iOS.

this looks interesting. Do you have any plans for miband 2 support?

Yes, we do plan to add support for it but first sight it looks to require a much different protocol, at least for the initialization.
