ImHex VS SonyHeadphonesClient

ImHex

“A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM.”

I actually used it not too long ago to inspect why a mp4 file wasn’t valid. The pattern language that they have is quite nice and having sections of the hex highlighted and being able to see what structures they represent and what data was on those structures was very useful!

Just one note: Please use UI scaling; it's near impossible to read on a 150% 4k screen (much less on 100%). Unfortunately, young eyes don't last forever.

The UI looks very much like ImHex (https://imhex.werwolv.net/) is this a coincidence, or is it the standard ImGui look and feel?

I wish ImHex had a decompiler for Z80 as well, but this is much better.

I didn't use RemedyBG or Tracy, but I did try ImHex (https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex) and it loaded 12% of the CPU because everything is being repainted 60 times per second. Heck, it even has an option to limit the FPS, which solves the CPU load a bit, but at the same time results in sluggish input because the event handling is tied to the drawing frequency.

So yes, the experience was not good, and I don't see what these tools would lose by using a proper GUI. I don't want every utility to drain my laptop battery like a decent video game.

ImGui is great if you already have a loop where everything is unconditionally redrawn every frame, but otherwise it's a really odd choice for an end-user application.

I now use ImHex after looking for years for a good one. It has a pattern language to provide highlighting.

ImGui is brilliant. I can highly recommend this hex editor built using it: https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex

Download a hex editor such as ImHex and open it. I'd recommend downloading the portable version of whatever hex editor you are using if it's offered. That way you don't have to install the program and can instantly delete it off your drive when you're done.

"It seems from reading the post that the scope of the project is already way too large. This a decades-long project (for a single dev). But most (maybe all) of what's being offered already exists." My googling shows them existing as singular (or a few) features but not in a cohesive package; the "closest" one I could find is https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex.

If you want a true Hex Editor (or better, Hex IDE), I strongly suggest you to take a look ad ImHex [1].

If you want a relatively small and fun project, and have Sony wireless headphones, I built an open-source desktop app that can be used to control the headphones, as an alternative to the Android app. I'm currently working on the qt branch, and need some help with deployment. If you're interested in helping, the project is here - https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient/tree/master . You're also welcome to contact me on DMs here with questions :)

There's an unofficial one on Github. I saw it posted here a couple years ago but I haven't tried it myself. This is the original post about it.

I have to click the mode button twice every time I turn them on. They dont remember which mode I used last. There is no app for Windows. There is this unofficial app: https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient But it just lets me control their settings from Windows, not automate it.

So I thought maybe it's possible to monitor what request it's sending to the headphones and capture the data structure. Then instead of the normal voice files in a certain language we could send a custom request where the files are just silent clips. Only issue is if the data was encrypted, but at least for other bluetooth commands sent, as seen here, it's just binary data that can be deserialized, so maybe it's the same for voice files.

Try this https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient

You can find it here: https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient (and the download here: https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient/releases)

There is an unofficial app, that can change noise canceling modes. https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient

There is no official app, but there is an open source GitHub project ( https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient ) that allows you to change the noise canceling settings from your pc/Mac

I've always wanted to create tweaks, and with my interest in software development (I have been programming for a few years) it seemed like a nice project to make. But before I had the idea of the tweak I found this awesome project (https://github.com/Plutoberth/SonyHeadphonesClient) which wasn't available on macOS yet, so I worked on porting that project to macOS, I learned a lot of things and it was fun (it's now available for macOS btw). So after that all I wanted was that but for iOS, and as a jailbreaker I tried to make this tweak, in which I succeeded after a steep learning process.
