Galaxy Buds Client

An unofficial Galaxy Buds Manager for Windows

This Client is a product of my research on the custom RFComm Serial Protocol the Buds use to receive and send binary (configuration) data. If you are interested in the structure of the protocol and its serial messages, I recommend you to check my notes out which I took while reverse-engineering the whole thing.

Features

New features (in addition to the existing ones):

  • Display detailed sensor statistics on the dashboard, this includes:
    • Voltage and Current of the in-built ADC (Analog-to-Digital converter) of both Earbuds
    • Temperature of both Earbuds
    • More precise battery percentage (instead of steps of 5)
  • Perform a self-test with all on-board components
  • Display various (debug) information, including:
    • Hardware Revision
    • (Touch) Firmware Version
    • Bluetooth Addresses of both Earbuds
    • Serial Numbers of both Earbuds
    • Firmware Build Info (Compile Date, Developer Name)
    • Battery Type
    • Other sensor data
  • Equalizer: unlock 'Optimize for Dolby' feature[1]
  • Touchpad: Combine Volume Up/Down with other options[2]

[1] There are actually 10 EQ-Presets, not 5. If a Samsung Android device has Dolby enabled, then another set of presets will be used. It is unknown if those extra presets actually are different from the normal ones, but according to the Wearable app, these presets seem to be optimized for use with Dolby. (Note that the Wearable app will automatically reset this feature once connected to a non-Samsung mobile device (with Dolby disabled) when attempting to switch EQ presets in the app)

[2] Note that the Wearable app will automatically reset this feature when attempting to switch Touchpad options in their app

Installation

This app requires .Net Framework 4.6.1 or higher (Download)

You can download a fully automated Setup in the release section of this repo!

Designed for the original Galaxy Buds. Galaxy Buds Plus are unsupported since I do not own a pair.

[UI Issue] Custom actions not visible

image image

Hi! Looks like UI when choosing custom actions is broken in both light and dark themes.

By the way, is it possible to make application respect system-wide light and dark themes? I use custom powershell script from PSGallery to switch my Windows themes, look here if interested.

I also know that system-wide theme is set by reg key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize] "AppsUseLightTheme"=dword:00000001 for light (dword:00000000 for dark), maybe it helps.

Would be neat. And is there a way to open discussions instead of issues?

Kind regards, Friendly contributor.

P.S. Only began learning software development (student) - but at least working on russian and ukrainian xamls for translation, also will do readme.

Windows 10 ARM support: No Bluetooth Adapter Found [BUG]

Ok so I have an issue with Windows on ARM64. You may be able to see in the screenshot that I am using a preview build. So the issue I am having it that the app does not recognize my Bluetooth adapter on a Galaxy Book2. I know I have it working because I get sound through my buds+ using the Bluetooth so I am just not sure what is going on.

Let me know what other information you need cause this would be cool to get it working on this tablet PC. image

Read buds individual battery level

According to this report, with regular AT commands you can read individual battery level for each earbud. Is this the same you reverse engineered? What do you think about that approach? Dissection improvement: individual battery level for SM-R170 earbuds

[Request] Galaxy Buds Live support

Just putting this out for possible Galaxy Buds live support. This app made using the original buds with Windows 10 a joy due to the quicker pairing/connection.

I'm wondering if support could be added for Buds Live, especially since it seems Samsung hasn't even provided an official app for Windows this time.

Also finding out about hidden/locked away features is fun too 💯

P.S: I do understand that for this to happen, you probably need to have the Buds Live on-hand to trace the Bluetooth communication messages.

[REQ] Play/Pause on Linux

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] It would be nice if the "automatically play/pause music when removing earbuds" feature would work on Linux

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. This would be fairly easy to achieve by simulating a press of XF86AudioPlay or XF86AudioPause

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. This could also be achieved by running playerctl play-pause, which would require playerctl to be installer (it would usually already be).

[REQ] Option to start minimized to tray

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I always block my buds touchpad because i end up pausing the current media while ajusting them on my ears. To keep the touchpad blocked, the app needs to be always open, so I add it autostart. But there's no need to present the app window everytime I log in, as I only want it running in the background.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like an option for the app to start already minimized to tray, without presenting it's window on startup.

Describe alternatives you've considered The app runs on startup and I manually close the window (minimizing to tray) every time I log in.

Additional context As an example, Discord has this feature as both a GUI toggable option and a --start-minimized command line argument.

Discord start minimized option

[BUG] Doesn't recognise Galaxy Buds2 if they have custom name

The app doesn't recognize the buds even though they are connected and work normal.

You can open the app on the phone, reset them and then they are recognized correctly and work even after renamed so it's not really a big problem.

Both on Windows 10 and Arch Linux App version 4.5.2
