[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
OK, my "project" is getting near completion. Here is the final menu structure... you get to the menu by double-taping screen or by shaking your watch :)

[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
Thanks very much. I downloaded and tried this, but unfortunateli it wasn't succesful.

Rebooted the watch automaticly and it is not continue the progress :( :(
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
I read in this thread that you have to try several times... So just try another 4-5 times. For me it worked immediately, guess I'm lucky :)
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
Hi

I have tried min. 10 times without success and I just tried again and it is worked :) !

Big big thanks for you Dalanik!

Could you recommend me a good dpi changer app wich is works well?

THX!

Dani
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
Good! This is really strange, I constantly read it takes several tries and for me it worked the 1st time :) But important that it worked :)

I tried AppSettings for Xposed and it works on M7. It can change DPI settings per app.... but I didn't try it as I don't need that functionality... but module works (as in it doesn't bootloop the watch) :)
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
Now I have a new big problem.. I set a bad resolution value and now i can't reset the settings. And unfortunatelly the system launcher does not able to running. How can I do a factory reset?
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
How did you change the resolution?
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
I changed it with a res.changer app. Unfortunatelly when it is rebooted the watch it is aplyed the bad setting.. And the system UI is crashed every time. I would like to delete the setting, or make a factory reset, but I don't know how to.. I cant start the watch in recovery mode.. And I can't reset the resolution, because the system UI is crashed in loop..

I hope there is a solution! :(

Now it is in off mode and on the charger..
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
OK, I have finished the tutorial on how to make simple notifications from your phone to M7:

http://projects.lanik.org/AndroidProjectWatchM7Sparta4.htm

Next, phone calls... :)
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
possible solution

Hi dalanik

I would like to ask your help again.

Could you send me the original build.prop from your watch ?

I hope it has the fastboot mode, just I don't know yet how to switch it into. But if I able to switch it to fastboot mode, I will able to replace it to the original one.

So please send it me if it possible. It would be a big help for me!!

But if someone have an idea please write me!

Big Thanks!

Daniel

Here it is...
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
Just had a nice find concerning our watch - to enter the engineering mode (works for all MTK devices) just dial

*#*#3646633#*#*

:)

Be carefull not to mess up something! :)
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
Thank you very much dalanik! I hope it will help me.

It is strange I did not find any values of screen settings in the file. But the app modified this. Maybe I will need another config files, I am not sure.. But now firstly I have to find out how can I open the fastboot or recovery..

I already tried some method.. But I know that every android device have a recovery mode at least..
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
You need to find out what the app you used changed....
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
Hi

The app was the screen resolution changer. I think it is changed the build.prop but as I said it is not sure. I saw there are some other prop files in the system partition.
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
Hello

I have read back in this forum, and I found some things which will be usefull for me.

I have found the original factory 4.4 FW.(http://pan.baidu.com/s/1dDpwM1F) The link is in alive. :) I could registration at pan.baidu, but it wasn't too easy. :) So I could start download it luckily, but it is very slow and the connection is quite unstable. I have to pause then start the downloading again to able to continue it the flashget because the connection is broken every 2 minutes.. :( Do you know any faster download method from baidu??

If the download will be done I will try to reflash the watch by SP flash tool. It should work.

Anybody know the sp flashtool or already used it?
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
What drivers are you using? I never managed to successfuly connect M7 to the computer....
[Other SmartWatches] segadc:
What's the best shake to turn on screen app (without any battery drain)? Double tap would be even better since I loved that about my former K8 (but it had bad battery life). Just not a fan of these buttons. Not sure if they will last.
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
I think it doesn't matter what shake you use - it will use the same amount of battery since it has to keep the sensor awake... it is more important which shake is not triggered by accident....
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
Added 2 more tutorials, remote phone call notifications and changing the clock face both locally from the watch and remotely from the phone:

[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
I can't belive this :(

Hello

The driver wasn't problem. But I was very unlucky again. I never was than in these days :( The flashtool would have been worked, but unfortunatelly I did not pay enough attention for the procedure and I choosed a bad option.

I had to format the DRAM because of the PMT problem. The tools made it right, but then I did not choose the formatt all+ download option just the download only. The download went to 71% and I got an error. It is understandable because the partition adresses weren't the same without the format mode.. Unfortunatelly It hasn't flashed the new preloader and then the watch became hard bricked..

The PC detected it as a serial USB device, but the preloader is not working. Now I don't able to flash back the preloader, because it can not communicate with the NAND flash.

So it is not completely dead, but I can't reflash it with flashtool. (Enable DRAM fail 4032)

It is a well known problem at MTK devices, possible to save its life, but I would need a Volume Down or UP button for meta mode... But it has as you know just Home and Power button..

So I am very puzzled, I have fighted with it for 4 days. I am very sad.

I have been able to repair every android devices until this, I hope this won't be the first what I can't

If anyone has an idea please write me!

Thanks

Daniel
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
Hmm, good luck I hope you manage to flash it... but you didn't say which drivers work for you? I tried all drivers mentioned in thread and none worked for me? Can you post the link to drivers?
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
I think the normal Vcom driver should work.

You can find here http://laurentiumihet.ro/technology...-for-32-64-bit-drivers-installation-tutorial/

and I uploaded for you all of my drivers to the google drive. You can download these here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8kW_TYa9z7ZM0paVHBQb2JDZU0/view?usp=sharing

It will work if you install the preloader driver manually from the list. And then you have to take out the battery and set it the settings menu.(wo battery). Then you can use the flashtool. First choose the download button or any what you need then connect the watch. It should work. But don't forget don't touch the preloader if just must!! :)

Good luck!!
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
I need normal driver to be able to transfer files... When I connect the watch i see this in device manager:
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
The drivers what I have uploaded necessary for the flashtool not for normally file transfer!

The windows has the driver and intalls it automatically for the file transfer. If the Pc detects it as unknown device, then your USB does not work properly. Maybe there is a contact problem in your watch or at its back side . Try it with another USB port or PC.

Which windows version do you use?

I am sure it must work automatically with win7 or with newer!
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
I thought so. I tried on multiple PCs running 64bit Win7 and Win10.... no go.... :(
[Other SmartWatches] pogodancer:
@ Danika

Just reflash the firmware with SP flashtool after a Softbrick. I recommend to use my modded firmware, its more comfortable.

If your device is not recognized, try to remove the battery. As long as you didn't flash a wrong preloader that should work. Good luck.
[Other SmartWatches] Danika256:
Hi

Thanks, but unfortunatelly It is not soft bricked but hard bricked. I can't reflash the preloader without the battery as well. (Enable DRAM fail)

But I found this video, this method is my last chance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKYH7gkvrvY

I have made an USB tool with pins to I able to remove the battery pending the connection. It won't be an easy procedure, but I have to try it. If it won't be succesfull I think I have to buy I new watch.

Then I will have spare parts for it :) :(

[MENTION=1665438]dalanik[/MENTION]

I think You have a contack problem in your watch. You have to take off the back cover and check the pins and the other side. As I see that is the weakest part of the watch. If you see big holes on the contact points you have to solder these. But be careful that points are on just a weak foil!
[Other SmartWatches] segadc:
Yeah I need a driver too. In the meantime I have been using Google Drive to transfer stuff.

So is there a way to fix the battery gauge? Like yesterday I had my M7 running for over 3 days and it was only at 67% but then it died all of a sudden. It's just not accurate.
[Other SmartWatches] pogodancer:
@ Danika

If you flashed a wrong preloader before it's hard bricked. If not flashing should be possible. Use another usb cable and restart your computer.

Or did you flash a wrong preloader before?

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Danika try, another usb cable.
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:

Hello all :)

Have just got my M7 running 4.4.2

My simple question is how do you display the status items at the top (wifi strength, phone signal strength, battery %age etc) when using Nova launcher ? In my case they all dissappear and are only visible using the stock launcher.

Many thanks
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
You need to root, install xposed framework and XMateHacks module...
[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
Thanks Dalanik :)

This takes me back years to when I first got an i-mate. Am not very good at all this so plenty of reading ahead !

Another problem I have is that my Bluetooth headset (Samsung Level U) does not work with the phone - it plays music fine and other system sounds - everything but the phone ! This is despite seeing three options when connected in a call; Speaker (hear the watch speaker), Headset (hear nothing) and Bluetooth (hear nothing). The headset is able to finish a call by pressing it's multifunction button. Any ideas what is going wrong ?

I absolutely love this watch and this is the only problem I have had so far
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
It is pretty easy; I tried to summarize everything and put links to all needed software on my web, just click on my signature you'll see Sparta article.

There are more bugs with this watch I discovered but I still like it; i.e. internal card is named sdcard1 and external sdcard, so all apps put their data on SD card... calendar doesn't sync, you have to install it from play store for it to work and I can't connect it to USB, PC doesn't see it. But overall, still a great watch!
[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
Thanks for the link Dalanik :)

I am going to go some of the way - rooting etc but a full on Tasker might be above my pay grade !

The thing I need right now is this bluetooth support for the phone. I have seen a few people complain but no solution - does yours work ? Maybe if so you are on 4.2 .....

Just cannot believe that every other thread is not about this bluetooth headset/phone problem. Maybe I have been unlucky and new stock works OK ?
[Other SmartWatches] rolandvb:
I found out something strange and out of teh box but it works if you have a bricked m7 and stuck i found out a very easy way to revive your M7

I flashed a brandnew M7 this week with the pogadancer mod rom and afther flashing my phone was bricked

I made as ususal before flashing a cpopy of my nvram and my rom.

I wanted to restore my original backup and got a partitiontable error??? how can it be?? i never changed them before???

i succeded to find a way to restore My bricked m7 don`t ask my why but it works 100% on my phone and reproduced it several times and should work also on you`res if it is bricked

just found it out with messing around with other roms, it was alreddy bricked so for me t did not matter

Download the ZGPAX-8 rom at i need rom first do format whole flash ,download the ZGpax-8 rom to you`re phone,(not upgrade) so the whole rom including preloader when finished that flash ,you msut flash emediatly after that the pogodancer or or mod rom (only download) afther flashing you can reboot your m7 and will have al fully working M7 phone again .

i don`t know how it works but it does, maybe pogodancer can clearift why my method is working?? i think it is luck an just teh right combination of files

[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
How depressing - have just read the whole way through the thread and I was convinced I would find the answer to this bluetooth/phone call problem but haven't :( Several people came on to report it and then went away, whether they were successful or just gave up, I don't know. The latest guy is Mushonim - he found some bluetooth headsets would work but not others so if you read this could you share with us which ones work please. In the meantime I have emailed the factory to see if they can help and also ordered another M7 direct to see if the problem had been fixed.

If anyone can help please, please jump in !
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
Are you on 4.2 or 4.4.2?
[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
4.4.2

I have found this when I put "MTK6572 fix bluetooth" into Google

https://apk-dl.com/bluetooth-fix-repair

Do you think it might help and more importantly be safe to use ?

and also how to use !
[Other SmartWatches] rolandvb:
I have 2 products of blueaudio purchased on e bay very cheap and very good sounding to, these bluetooth inears and the turbine plus are working flauwlessly on my m7 ,maybe you can try one of these especially the bluetooth inears are very good and they sound better than the big full size turbine headphones these are giving a over the top bass.

maybe it is a flauw on you`re m7, quality control is not so good in china, i also had a Ordro sw 16 and the volume of the inbuild speaker was almost twice as loud as my m7 i have now also the soundquality was better with the Ordro.
[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
Thanks for the reply Roland :)

The two BT headsets I have tried (Samsung Level U on ear c€65 & Soundpeats Q9A in ear c€20) both have a Function button to end phone call or start and finish MP3 player etc. They are both also BT4.1 and APTX so I wonder if one of these things is causing the problem. What BT version are the ones you have that work ? Also do they have APTX ?

I am determined to find out what is happening ! Also, I agree with you the sound quality with these modern BT headsets is amazing. I really like my Samsung ones as they sit on the ear and not in it. This means you can hear sound around you unless you have the music very loud lol. They also have noise cancelling so when I get them working with the phone it will be good for the other person as they will hear me clearly and not hear the background noise if I was in a shop for example.

I lived for 3 years in Shenzhen in China near where all these watches are made and an old friend has just sent me a new M7 which is genuinely from the factory (he went there !). This has arrived this morning and I am going to video the unboxing and put it on my website (in signature below) in a day or two. I am also going to video a definite fake I bought from Amazon so you can see the differences.

Thanks again !

[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
I realise this is a simple question but are you able to see the watch on your computer when you connect it via USB using its charging cradle ?

And if so is there a setting to alter on the watch as mine does not appear ? (I have USB debugging enabled in Developer Options)
[Other SmartWatches] leodefarias:
Dalanik, your tutorial is realy great, isso don't have used tasker before, but now i have to try. Very thanks!

Very nice to see teh differance between a real m7 and a fake, i orderded one last week at imacwhare store and even think that is a fake, is differant from images of real others received and ordered at imacwear

also teh box was very different and a lot scheaper looking. so i hope to see teh difference, becuase if i got a fake from imacwear themselves i will open a dispute at paypal without hesitation.

I also had A Ordro sw 16 and was better the so called real thing, the sound of the inbuild speaker of the Ordro is twice as loud as the M7 i `ve got and also teh sound with bluetooth was a lot better to so i have my some doubts if my m7 even received from Imacwear is a real M7 or a fake. so i am very courious about you`re input and teh difference between the two,

also i made a mistake about the brand of the bluetooth headphone the brand is Bluedio here a link on ebay very chaep and free shipping

[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
Thanks Roland :)

I will try to put up the video in the next couple of days.

I have ordered a pair of those bluedio earphones (the only cheap ones I could get are in a horrible green colour ! ) so I will see if they work too. I wonder if it is the APTX that is causing the problem as these do not have it.

[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
Although these watches are fantastic they really can get very frustrating with bugs and problems.

If anyone can help with today's problem I would be very grateful :) ..... For some reason the phone decided to stop working this morning. It has been perfect up to now. The watch can see the Sim card because if I put it in Airplane Mode and then afterwards force it to look for all signals it finds my carrier and correctly shows my number. However, it then just shows 'No Service'. I have done a factory reset in case an app was causing a problem . I have tried the Sim in another Imacwear M7 watch and it works fine. I have thought of removing the battery but surely it is the same as when the phone goes flat ?

Anyone have any ideas please ?

Many thanks Paul
[Other SmartWatches] paultr:
Still can't get the phone working even though it can see the Sim card and the card works in another M7 watch - grrr
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
Probably a hardware fault then.... can you try another SIM card in M7???

Do you know the name of the Amazon merchant you got your 4.4.2 from ?

I have had the back off my phone and managed to get the rubber seal back in but I did not tighten the screws very hard in case I stripped them. It may be good to put a tiny drop of the removable loktite on there for safety as you are not going to go in very often.

iMacwear M7 Questions

Hello everyone, I have been messing with Android and Nokia cell phones for

over eleven years now but until now I never had any kind of smartwatch.

Right now I have an unlocked and rooted T-Mobile Samsung S6 Edge+ .

I purchased the iMacwear M7 about a week ago and it arrived this morning.

It looks like a very nice smartwatch but I do have some questions that I am

hoping someone can answer.

I already downloaded all the files in the links in post #1 as well as read all the

helpful and informative links in post #1 of this thread.

I have read every single post in this thread yesterday but have not found the

answer to the following questions:

1: - Since this is an android smartwatch with a more or less complete android

lollipop 4.4.2 firmware do most all the android gear apps in the play store work

and install properly for the M7?

Like the many watchface editors and like the pre-made faces which are available for all

the android wear smartwatches and all the other play store apps which were specifically

developed and designed for android wear smartwatches in the play store.

2: Does Exposed Framework and certain modules require/note require to be installed

in order to change the watchfaces to a higher quality and better looking clock face?

I know that root is required to use xposed framework and it's modules.

3: If exposed is required to add and use different watch faces other than those

which are included in the watch are there any apps for windows or android at

the playstore or elsewhere which are compatible?

4: Is the iMacwear M7 truly and fully a Android Wear compatible smartwatch like all the other

brand named ones like Samsung, Sony, LG, Motorola, Huawei and the Asus smartwatches?

Also after reading ALL the post's in this thread I have not found even one which tells everyone

the exact process, method or action needed to put the M7 into download and recovery modes?

Thanks in advance, I would really appreciate to know the answers to all these questions.

Have a great day everyone!

[MENTION=3516441]Misterjunky[/MENTION]:

No Android wear apps work on this watch - since it DOESN'T have Android wear

No, you can use Watchmaker Live Wallpaper w/o Xposed.

Yes, WatchMaker. And what's with the Xposed stuff? How would Xposed help you use watchfaces and what Xposed has to do with watchfaces at all?

No, it is 0% compatible.... :) C'mon, where did you find one word about M7 being Wear compatible???

There is no recovery on M7.... You have to flash it - if you're not afraid you'll brick the device. Since there are no firmwares other than original, I see no point in instaling recovery and it is a bit risky.

Just root it, install xposed and enjoy :) See my signature for more info on my web... I have 1 article on how to root , xposed etc watchfaces, everything.... :)
