ROM upgrade

Hi,

Did anybody upgraded the system ROM from Android 4.2.2 to the latest (4.4 as far as I know) ? Is it worth it ? How to do it? Any suggestions?

Thanks for any advice...
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
Widgets may be possible with a launcher, such as Zeam Launcher. However after installing the launcher the top notifications bar disappears, to fix that you need Xposed framework and a patch/fix which is all on the imacwear M7 thread.

I haven't installed it myself yet, so let me know how it goes. Also you the watch has to be rooted, very easy that is in the same thread too, 1st post.
[Other SmartWatches] collectric:
Thanks,

I didn't find patch/fix in any of the threads related to imacwear M7 in "Smartwatches Misc/ Other SmartWatches " can you put the link or be a little more specific? Is there any other launcher that is worth trying?

Thanks again.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
imacwear M7 thread first post, number 5 is the Xposed stuff. Its time consuming but read as much as you can, lots for good tips there.

[XPOSED] X201/TrueSmart: Status bar in custom launchers

Its been a while since I read it, but the launcher thread is in the Omate TS section, I can't recall exactly where. Just read away ...

EDIT:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2657254 - apps that work with the x201 - omate clones.
[Other SmartWatches] collectric:
Works like a dream!!! I used NOVA launcher instead of Zeam launcher that doesn't fit the screen properly. The notification bar is displayed properly, even on the lockscreen which was very important to me.

Bottom line - you opened my eyes to a whole new world of applications especially through Xposed ... Thanks a lot !!!
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
The satisfaction for me is your 'Eureka' moment when it all works out. Oddly enough I helped with a problem that I don't know how to do my self, but i knew the concept.

No pressure, if you can could you tell me the steps to installing Xposed with links please? Now i'm motivated to to try it my self :D
[Other SmartWatches] collectric:
Pleasure,

I installed Xposed framework with the help of the following link:

http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-xposed-framework-for-android-how-to-install-it-guide/

Then I installed the Xposed module you recommended:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/truesmart-status-bar-custom-launchers-t3063624

At this point I had to perform a full reboot, a quick one was not enough.

In the Xposed application I activated the XMateHacks module and "voila" - notification bar everywhere including on the screenlock ...!

BTW, my watchphone camera is giving me blurred images after (stupid me) I tried to clean the SIM contacts with a contact cleaner. I took the camera out and I'm looking for a replacement part (if I fail to clean it as it seems...) - any ideas who might sell them?
[Other SmartWatches] dabotsonline:
That link - http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/TOP-factory-3G-GPS-android-wifi_60240808558.html - says that Dongguan Aoke Electronic Co., Ltd. ( http://aipker.en.alibaba.com ) are selling the Aipker AK-S5 (which, incidentally, I can't find listed at http://aipker.com ). Is that the same model as the Z01 and DCool DW08? (And what about the Oct-Tech OCT-WE03 that was mentioned earlier in the thread? http://oct-tech.com/product/en/Cheap-3G-smart-watch-silicone-strap.html ). The MOQ is listed as 1, so it would be interesting to see if they will honour that for someone with no intention of bulk buying. There is a third-party on AliExpress - 3C-World - who are offering it as a standalone item for $20 dearer: $100 USD (£66 GBP) rather than $80.83 (£53 GBP): http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...Dual-core-1-3GHz-CPU/1876398_32451447401.html

Hi,

I'm very interested to buying this watch on gearbest.com for $122 after gooling and do a research for this kind of watch.This watch is quite expensive for me, so would you mind to give me some advise about :

- Is google account and play store actually work flawlessly, just like other android smartphone. Sync, install, contact, etc ?

- How is the screen brightness on direct sunlight ?

- Is the OS upgradeable ? the new version is come with android 4.4.2

- Is there a possible to add more watch face?

- Durability and quality of this product after using for a couple month?

- Problem and bug so far.

Sorry for asking so many question, i'm very appreciate for your advise.

Hi guys, I just received a Z01 from Aliexpress (1gb/8gb version). I also own an Omate TrueSmart, but as it is hard to get spare batteries etc, I thought to buy the very similar Z01.

I wanted to use the MTK Droid Tool v2.5.3 for backup and root, but even with the same cable the newer Z01 with the same MTK6572 is not recognized on my PC. But the Omate is immediately recognized.

Any ideas? If I get some help, I'd like to share the 5.1 ROM once I was able to backup it. I'm also still hoping, that it may be helpful for the deleopment of a newer ROM for the Omate TrueSmart, though this thread seems to be quite dead nowadays...

PS: If anybody is curious about both watches: The Z01 still has an internal MicroSD-slot, but the battery is a soft foil bag with a small plug on a cable instead of the plastic one inside the Omate. They both have 600mAh, but are not compatible without any conversion work. And the camera orientation of the Z01 is 90° off versus the Omate. The Z01 is missing a e-compass sensor. And despite the description on AliExpress it also has only 240x240 screen resolution, and only a 3MPix camera with identical picture and video quality.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Your problem could be due to any number of reasons or conflicts. To narrow down the possibilities, backup anything that is important to you, then temporarily revert to full stock e.g. the oldest, full firmware version, followed by a factory data reset. Confirm that it works as it should barring an unlikely hardware issue.

Then install you primary apps, one by one until you presumably run into a conflict.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It's also very time consuming to try and assist people who don't explicitly state their intent at the outset. There are dozens of threads that detail how to troubleshoot or reinstall shealth as a search would have revealed. It's good practice to take advantage of the wealth of information in existing threads prior to posting a query.

Why not just restore your last backup to resolve the shealth issue? That way you wouldn't need to restore 99% of your apps. Also you didn't post your logcat, build.prop, a detailed description of what changes you have made, a list of installed apps or anything else about your configuration that would aid troubleshooting.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulaki0:
Don't take me wrong, I really appreciate your help. I didn't mean to offend and I apologize if I did.

I did search and found several threads about s-health issues but they were all in custom roms or rooted phones. I am on stock rom without root. The app never worked so there is no restoring I could do. I have installed mostly regular apps (facebook, Skype, messenger, whatsapp, ebay, tradera, Amazon, momondo, booking.com) plus the Sony Smartband and Lifelog. I did install some of the apps before I tried the heart rate monitor for the first time (at least the Sony ones) because it asked to create a Samsung account and I didn't do that immediately.
