The only reason I even mentioned Xposed is that on Post #1 it talks about installing

it so I thought it had something to do with being able to add and edit the watchfaces.

If it's not for that purpose, then what does xposed add or modify in the M7 smartwatch?

I forgot to ask, since the M7 came with Lollipop 4.4.2 firmware is it a good idea to go

into it's settings and use the built-in "updater" to see if there are any updates before

rooting and will Kingroot root the 4.4.2 firmare?

Post #1 did not mention anything about rooting the 4.4.2 firmwares found in the newer

iMacwear smartwatches.

I have read many posts here talking and asking about clone iMacwear M7's so after

a bit of investigation I found that all M7's which have a 1GHZ cpu are genuine M7s.

All the M7's which have the faster 1.3GHZ cpu's are clones.

(in case anyone wants to know)

I purchased my M7 from http://imacwear.com it has a 1GHZ cpu.

Thank you for all the good and helpful information, I really appreciate it.

Oops before I forget...

Since flashing recoveries is not recommended how can we make full and complete

backups of our roms and restore them as well as flashing zip files without recovery?

Have a great day!

re: recovery - flashfire

I almost forgot, I am not sure if you or anyone else here has heard of or used "Flashfire.apk" from the play store.

It only requires ROOT but I don't think it requires or uses any recovery at all. (according to what I read in the link below)

I have used flashfire to flash firmwares, roms, kernels, & modems as well as backing up & restoring my S6 Edge+ roms.

Here is the link to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's xda Flashfire thread in case you or anyone else wants to find out more about it:

Hi Misterjunky :)

I am interested in what you say.....

"I have read many posts here talking and asking about clone iMacwear M7's so after

I don't know why Imacwear is supposed to be the genuine one as they all seem to be clones of one another - it is like a circle - or the chicken and the egg - which came first ?

Also how do you know how some have the 1.3GHz speed - do you mean they advertise that only or have you tested it ? I am really interested in your investigation as it all seems so confusing to me ;)

re: signature website

[MENTION=1665438]dalanik[/MENTION]

I just visited your website in your signature and it's really impressive and very informative.

I just checked out Watchmaker at the playstore and under "Read More"

it says: Requirements: Android Wear ?

Is TASKER a requirement for Watchmaker?

If it is, is there any other way to add watchfaces to the M7 like perhaps a windows application?

I tried using tasker years ago with my cell phones but it's just too complicated for me.

Have a great day!
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
It installs modlues which allow you to tweak the system... there are hundreds of modules. Please read my article, everything is explained there (http://projects.lanik.org/AndroidProjectWatchM7Sparta.htm

You won't have any updates... There are rarely updates for Samsung or other known brands, what makes you think that Chinese unknown brand will have any? :) :) :)

Just read my article, you don't have to read all posts here it would take too much time but everything is explained there. 4.4.2 is rooted with KingRoot.

Well, since you won't be flashing anything - what's the point of backup? :)

Thanx

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.watchFrenzy.lwp&hl=en Watchmaker Live Wallpaper, NOT WatchMaker Watch Face.

No. Tasker is automation tool.

You can use Watchmaker LWP, but the interface is too small and it's not very convenient changing watchfaces. That's why I started the whole Tasker thing.

[Other SmartWatches] Misterjunky:
re: Watch Faces

I just had an idea how everyone can get a lot of watch faces without even needing to use any app

at all.

In XDA's regular android phone forums there are many threads for Mods, themes and Addons.

Many developers create install-able APK apps and create links for people here to download from.

For example if I had lots of watch faces for the M7 I would create an APK which had the clock faces

in it and by installing it it would copy all the face files into the correct location into the M7's rom.

(if I knew the exact location of the watch face files)

Then the end user who downloaded and installed the APK could instantly use all the watch faces

and would not really need to install any watchmaker apps from the playstore or in windows.

If someone here would be kind enough to zip up a bunch of clock faces which I could download from

either a link in a post here, or even pm me with the link to the zip file I could make an install-able APK

with all the clock faces in it then I could post a link to the apk here in this thread.

I have a windows app which creates flashable APKs.

Have a great day and thanks again for all your help.

Are you for real?
[Other SmartWatches] Misterjunky:
I guess I should have kept my mouth shut... Lol

Looks like I was right in thinking that this thread in this

forum is not like the regular android cellphone threads

and it is what I would call "different". Lol

Have a great day.
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
First of all, watch faces on m7 are built.in ROM, custom format... there are no flashable apk's. And there is unlimited amount on watchfaces in watch maker lwp format....
[Other SmartWatches] Misterjunky:
re: clock faces

Then does that mean that when using any 3rd party watch faces it's not the

same process in the M7 as changing the stock built-in watch faces meaning

that we treat the 3rd party clock faces as if they were simply live wallpaper?

What's the difference if they are built into the rom, I am correct in saying

that a installable apk containing 3rd party clock faces would work nicely.

It's the same idea as when we download and install an apk app from the

playstore which contains a lot of standard and live wallpapers and during

the install all the clock faces are copied into the proper folder in the rom.

It's the same idea as when we download and install custom boot animations

in a apk format.

The installation process copies the 3rd party QMG files into the proper folder

into the rom.

Please remember that I am either a NOOB or a ROOKIE when I ask all these

questions about the M7 smartwatch. LOL

Like I said in my first post here, I never had any kind of smartwatches up to

a few days ago. But I do know a great deal about the Samsung cellphones.
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
Well android is android doesn't matter if it's watchnor phone. And yes, it is live wallpaper. Builtin watches are lockscreen.

The installation process copies the 3rd party QMG files into the proper folder

All of the examples above can be done without the need of using root explorer

to copy and paste all the files. (in this case all the clock face files)
[Other SmartWatches] dalanik:
You're free to try....
[Other SmartWatches] Misterjunky:
re: watch face files.

I will, but I need to know out of hundreds of folders in the rom which is the one that contains

all the watch faces?

If worse comes to worse I can always use root explorer's search function to find the files but

it would be very helpful if someone here knows their exact location in the rom and posts it.

Wish I could help you, the idea sounds promising. Hopefully someone here will provide you the info. Good luck:good:

GearBest Charger

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me which charger, either the magnetic open-faced, or the clamshell type is currently shipping with the Imacwear M7's coming out of the GearBest site? Mine should be arriving in the next week:fingers-crossed: I mean I can wait, but if you have a minute, and know the answer, I'd love to know!:D

Thanks!!​
[Other SmartWatches] paultr:

The lockscreens are placed in the launcher2 .apk you have to unzip the apk add or mod the apk and zip it change the zip in the name to apk and install i think this will work if you want i can help you if you would kindly post your stock launcher2.apk do you have a original or a clone?

I have a clone but i erased the Rom and flashed original Rom.

I like the stock lockscreen the black one that is on all the adds.

But for some reason it doesnt show the date and day i bhought another one as a gift for a friend and that one does so that sucks.

I advise to make a full backup of it with mtk droidtools especially of the nvram partition where the imei is located because if you erase it the phone watch doest read a simcard anymore
[Other SmartWatches] Sensonic:
Hey, I'd need an answer to a stupid question:

I opened my M7 and there was some humidity under the battery. Now it seems the antenna signal is weaker than it used to be.

IMO if the antenna was damaged because of humidity it should cut the signal off completely and not just make the antenna signal weaker. Am I right?

re: iMacwear watch

Thanks for all your helpful information, but before I can try anything I need to root the watch,

I have tried just about all the rooting tools and methods there is but none of them worked on my

imacwear watch.

I got so upset about not being able to root the imacwear that I purchased a Zenwatch 2 which I did

not have any issues with rooting, it rooted the first time I tried.

I have no plans to pay another cell phone bill by getting a second sim card for the watch.

My plan was to only use the imacwear watch with hangouts and the hangouts dialer using wifi. I

spend most my time at home and I do have a S6 Edge+ cellphone which I can use anytime.

Most places I go to have wifi so it's not a big deal and it's not a good idea to use cellphones while

driving..

Besides the rooting issue with the imacwear watch there is one other issue which can't be

over-come, the imacwear watch is about 30% thicker than the zenwatch 2 and twice the weight.

If the imacwear's battery lasted twice as long on a full charge than the zenwatch's battery perhaps I

would think differently but in actuality the zenwatch's battery lasts 3-4hrs longer than the imacwear's

with a full charge. imacwear battery is 600ma while the zenwatch's battery is only 400ma .

Oh well, perhaps in the future the engineers will find a way to use atoms to power these smartwatches. LOL

Searched with, "Get APK" which identifies and lists all apk's and didn't find launcher2 in my M7's system. Any help with this? Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] iewar92:
You have to be rooted

Root using kingroot

Launcher2. Apk is a system apk so is located root/system/privapp

Privapp or App map i'm not shure

Use an older kingroot version 3.5.0 that one worked for me but try first to root using mtk droid tools and use pda net universal driver installer there is a post about it the first post in this thread
[Other SmartWatches] DocPhoneTone:
+iewar92 Ah, I see, thanks. Was hoping to not root quite yet as I just got it, and rooting would void the warranty-I think?? Right now, was mainly interested in having alternate watch faces on the Lock Screen from which to choose. Any other ways to go about that? Not sure which way to proceed...maybe I should re-read this forum, now that I've received and familiarized myself with the M7. Open to suggestions...Thanks again, iewar92

[Other SmartWatches] DocPhoneTone:
Yes, me too. With the watch mounted in the charging cradle, pressure needs to be applied at the 8 o'clock of the two.

The pins move in and out freely. Seems to help if the contacts are cleaned gently w/ a Q-tip or whatever...but not much.

Anyone solve this? Thanks

Sparta M7 firmware work with Doogee S1 which is basically the same watch?

I know this forum is for the Sparta M7 firmware but this question is related. I have a Doogee S1 watch which is very close to the Sparta M7. I know that because i owned both of them. I had a problem with the m7 not charging then sent it back and bought the Doogee S1. The only difference is it has a heart rate sensor on the bottom of the watch and the m7 didn't.

I had the Doogee S1 for 1.5 months and now it doesn't even boot up anymore. It boots to the Doogee S1 symbol and thats it. I think the firmware is corrupted and need to re-install. I tried 5 times to get support from Doogee but its non existent. So my question is do you think this firmware for the Sparta M7 will work with the Doogee S1? I don't think i will be getting any firmware anytime soon on this Doogee S1 or any support for that matter. I can boot to recovery mode and of course i can install from the sd card or adb.

I don't get any support from Doogee so i was hoping someone could help out.

thanks

Bluetooth issue

Hello all together.

since yesterday I own a new Imacwear M7 smart watch.

Everything is fine but I have problems with the Bluetooth Connection.

First Problem is with my car (Audi A4, 2016). The phone connects via Bluetooth and I can operate all funtions. But unfortunately I can't hear my Partner over the car's Audio System. Somehow there is no transmision of the Signal.

On the other way if I play media (like Music from Youtube) this can be heard clearly.

The other issue is regarding a Bluetooth Headset. Can anyone of you recommend a headset which can connect via Bluetooth to the M7?

Thank you very much for your help!

Kind regards from Germany

3. I choose "Time" (or "Date"), change it's value and press "Done" (or "OK") and the value seems to be changed

[Other SmartWatches] DocPhoneTone:
Yep! I have taken to (at times where there's to be copious quantities of sweat involved:crying: lol) covering the charging port of the watch with self adhering 1/16" thick, single cell foam (waterproof) padding, and removing it at charging time. Bit of a pain in the arse- especially given that it tends to leave behind adhesive residue-but I find it's easier than cleaning "body salts" from the contacts. And way better than having to deal with the results of sweat getting into the interior through the charge port!

Compatible bluetooth headset

Thank you! Yesterday I went to the store and bought 3 different headsets around EUR 20 for testing. I was lucky, the first one from Jabra (BT2046) worked fine immediatey. So I returned the two others. It works only for phone not for music audio, but that's okay.

Important is that in the menue bluetooth/sim settings/call settings/others/ the TTY is set to "complete ".

Ourtime X01

Gearbest offers an Ourtime X01 für 55.99 US-Dollar (Flash Sale Price). It looks like an iMacwear M7 clone.

What's irritating: Xiaomitoday claims that it has a heart rate sensor.

Gearbest does not mention that.

The X01 comes with Android 4.2. I'm wondering if it's possible to flash it with KitKat from the M7.

What do you think? Worth a try?

Damn, it is not charging again.... I took the charger to ma colleague that has voltmeter and there is +5v and everything OK on the pins... so it's either contact, or as my colleague suggested, watch itself... it works fine when it's charged but it won't charge... I am starting to believe that the sweat did something to the inside of the watch... will have to unscrew it and take a look, as much as I hate unscrewing such tiny things :)

Hello ,

My M7 is under 4..4.2.

Do you have access to APN settings ? If I click on it , I only have a black screen :confused:

My watch is connected to 3G but I can't access to internet (only with wifi). I want to see if my APN are ok but I can't as I have only a Black screen....

Is there another way to modify this setting through the engineer mode ?

Thanks.

EDIT : I find the solution : On black screen , slide for left to right on screen and the setting appears ! 3G is running well now.
