v0.8

New

  • One-click desktop installer for Windows, macOS and Linux — patching the
    camera no longer needs the command line, Python, PMCA-RE or ADB. Connect the
    camera in Mass Storage mode, press Install on camera, done. The
    installer detects the camera, shows the model and handles the whole process,
    including the reboot into app-install mode.
  • One-button undo — the installer ships Sony's original Smart Remote
    Control     (v4.30) and reinstalls it with Restore original. This works
    offline and needs no backup of your own. The patched app uses a different
    package name, so both apps coexist on the camera and you choose which to open.
  • Update in place — running a newer installer over an existing install
    simply replaces it. The button reads Update / reinstall when the app is
    already on the camera.
  • Optional ADB backup — a checkbox still saves the APK from your camera to
    disk, discovering the camera's IP on the network by itself.
  • English README and a new quick-install guide
    (docs/installer-guide.md). The Spanish README moved to
    README_es.md; the manual step-by-step guide is unchanged and remains the
    reference if anything fails.

Notes

  • Validated end to end on a real a6000: detection, install and restore.
  • Installer filenames now carry the version (for example
    SonyLiveMonitor-Installer-v0.8-windows.exe), which is always the version of
    the camera app they install.
  • The installer is self-contained: it carries the camera APKs inside and works
    without an internet connection. Use the installer from the same release as the
    phone app.
  • The binaries are not code-signed. Windows SmartScreen shows a warning
    (More info → Run anyway); on macOS use right-click → Open the first time.
    On Linux, chmod +x first, and USB access may need sudo or a udev rule.
  • The phone apps are unchanged in this release.
