I Pablo11, my problem not is the APN data that I see correctly.

My problem is as if the antenna of the cellular network is off. The phone not hook over the cellular network. I see the APN correctly (I TIM) and can even choose whether to enable it or not. All parameters related to the SIM are seen correctly, but there is no field.

I think my phone is sadly lacked. I tried to do the factory reset but nothing. Also an Italian who bought the cell phone did not have any problem with original telephony.db. I'll try to do a reset by the recovery or I wait a custom ROM that I can to install .... :(
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
That's a sad story :(

Did you check that cellular data is enabled in settings? I'm sure you probably did but had to mention it.

If you send it back make sure that you flash back the stock firmware that doesn't have any traces of kingroot.
[Other SmartWatches] antho0062:
Hello, I think I have installed the same but that not working :(. I fail to start , even through wallpaper.

how did you set?
[Other SmartWatches] Samysaythanks:
Thank you :)

I have tried it now (cpu by 598 Mhz)

Just look dropbox.com/s/ny61nt7pdiqdoon/_20151119_082424.JPG?dl=1

And i have tested the app "dim root" and have dimmed the display to the lowest..

But it doesnt work, the battery dies as the same as before :(

Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] campy74:
Yes, I have the cellular data enabled :(,

When I did the factory reset kingroot it remains installed.

How do I return the phone in completely stock version?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Unfortunately I only have a backup which has kingroot embedded.

Anyone out there have a completely stock backup to help out here?

This is when community support really counts !!

Let us know please..

FYI I'm using the cpu tuner for Wear that I posted earlier in this thread.

I've knocked it down to one core and set the governor to on-demand.

So far it's good. Performance is ok and battery life seems better :)

If you could grab a unrooted copy of the Rom dump it would be fantastic ?
[Other SmartWatches] campy74:
Many Thanks!!!! fingers crossed :good:
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
This, in combination with some build.prop tweaks is what got the TS to get two weeks of standby and 2-5 days of use. Pay close attention the CPU section, this is where the bulk of the battery life improvement came from.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
It would be great to set this script but would need insecure boot image wouldn't we?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
As long as the required bits are in /system for init.d and root, a proper insec boot image is not required. The other thing is 3C Toolbox can do most of this stuff as well if folks want more flexibility.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Thanks again. Not sure if we have what's required in /system but I will look at 3C toolbox :good:

Actually I have pro system tuner license - maybe that will do the job
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Root, busybox, 3C is all you would need to put in the values manually into 3C and have it work.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
[MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] unfortunately the old "round screen - button/menu is not accessible" problem is the issue with this.

Does anyone know actually a way to bring Android Wear Watchfaces to work ?

I think that can manage the battery problem for those, who want a Always-On-Screen on the smartwatch.

Cause if we can get the "ambi"Mode working, that will be all we need.

Look at this pic, its the "ambi-mode" of a clear smartface for android wear:

dropbox.com/s/afboqgs2uo9yb3l/Screenshot.png?dl=1

I know, we can be happy to have the full Android, but Android is not made for round smartwatches, so does someone think we get a always on screen working that costs max 50 % battery each day? Only now i wish i have android wear, but only for this one case ;)

Thanks a lot for help :)

By the way, i tried out "cernel Adiutor" that someone posts, and i only get a side open, that shows me "information", i can nothing change here...

I have changed the cpu with an other program to 598 MZH but 2 Cores, i can´t get it on, to use 1 core... :(
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
Here's the full "ReadBack" backup of stock ROM.

Enjoy

[Other SmartWatches] Samysaythanks:
Do you mean only rename and replace the "pictures" from the watches in the Directory \Launcher2\res\drawable-mdpi ??

Or can i "install" a watchface app from my other Android wear smartwatch in any way??

Thanks Loki :)
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
You cannot install wear watch faces - end of story. If we port wear to this device it will be different.

That will take an extremely long time and the people here don't have this luxury ...

He means exactly what he said in the post.

It's a little fiddly but you need to extract the watch face files from your favourite face app and then edit them to the correct size.

Once you have done this you need to rename the files to match existing face files in the launcher app from our watch and replace them before you copy it back to the watch.

If you follow his instructions you can't go wrong. And you have a backup just incase you do mess it up
[Other SmartWatches] Samysaythanks:
Ok, sorry, please don´t be angry, know i know, thats it not working and its really ok for my...

But i have a Problem :D

I have tried it and have KILLED My Watch :crying:

Please help me, the launcher crashed and the watch doesnt start again, it stocks on the "world"

Now I´m hanging here:

dropbox.com/s/tkpcg7o411625w1/_20151120_125323.JPG?dl=1

I have a backup for launcher2.apk, but how can i get it work?

Or how can i get the backup postet from one of you earlier get work?

THANKS :)
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I wasn't and I'm not angry at all . Sorry if it appears that way.

Do you have the custom recovery installed?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
You set SU to allow all for the time being, then install xposed, install per app ppi module, set the SU ppi pretty low (around 115 is a good place to start). That or you set the ppi to 112 (i think) in the build prop, but this may throw off the rest of the UI.
[Other SmartWatches] Samysaythanks:
No, i only have rooted it and extract the launcher2.apk, have made a mistake, and now, nothing work :(
[Other SmartWatches] campy74:
Greaaaat Job Cyrus!!!!! Thanks for your precious help. I hope to solve my problems with Phone Signal else I'll have a useless phone ..

Now, I have downloaded your stock Rom... .How can I flash this? :angel:
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Possible APN issues fix

Root

Using a root file explorer or ADB replace \system\etc\apns-conf.xml with one from a recent CM release.

This should give you APNs for almost all carriers world wide.

[Other SmartWatches] cmvrgr:
Hi. I need a favor. I am in between buying this smartwatch or the k8 with the square display because I am afraid that the round screen will have problems in displaying correctly of the apps. What do you suggest ?

Has anyone tried to run Here Maps or Sygic Gps apps and if yes can you please upload some screen captures to see if the software buttons are shown correctly ?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Just a side note here - do you have an IMEI number? When you open MTK tool you should see the IMEI.

For anyone who hasn't got or doesn't know what MTK tools are check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2730031

A very good post with lots of info and tools - read it carefully - you can brick your watch but it's actually quite hard to kill it completely :)

If you do have it make sure you back it up!! If you don't have one it could be the reason you have no luck with the phone element of the watch.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

How about using script launcher or similar?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Seeing that your are going to need per app ppi for some apps anyway, doing stuff via scripts should be an advanced user thing only.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Fair enough. Thanks - I'll get exposed installed

I'm waiting. It was 2weeks ago
[Other SmartWatches] The_Baguette:

[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:

I received today an email about shipping...

Now let's wait again ;)
[Other SmartWatches] nsmurfy:

Hello,We are seeking a developer for a custom ROM, are you interested?
[Other SmartWatches] The_Baguette:
I'd be really happy to do so, however I can't get a hold of the device :/ sorry...
[Other SmartWatches] luigiwidmore:
someone asked on 12nd october on gearbest if the watch is in stock. The answer was yes. i ordered two pieces yesterday , waiting for updates. will definetly let you guys know once when i'll know more.

Very impressed that there already is an initiative for a custom rom for this device.
[Other SmartWatches] sebfook:
Ordered one by has not arrived yet.
[Other SmartWatches] silviub75:
I was the one asking Gearbest about their stock. Only because I ordered it about 3 weeks before and got stuck in "processing". They said it was in stock but didn't published my second question about the trouble I had with my order. Strangely, it's my second watch phone order that I got refunded for. Not happened with my other items I ordered on their site.

I thought somebody would find this info useful.

LE. Meanwhile I did order it on tinydeal, hopefully I'll get it this time
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I would certainly be interested :good:
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
Got a "Your order has been shipped out" email right now from Gearbest.

I'll keep you updated ;)
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
I believe this watch is outstanding compared all other Chines ones.

it's specs is in line with Huawei watch (MOLED, 400*400, heart rate (except water proof and shiny ring) + It has standard Android!! + it has SIM!!

The questions are:

it's reliability of components (WIFI, BT, GPS, Screen quality)

+ the support and dev from it's producer

+ the custom roms by the community. - I can't help at this side, but I count on you guys...
[Other SmartWatches] onoffitalia:
I think I will buy this from dealsmachine who seems to have it in stock without waiting 3-5 days for sending.

I asked their customer support if play store is installed and other things and their answer was:

'... The item has google play store installed, and compatibility with 3rd party apk, and the wristband is interchangeable ....'

Can we trust them? usually in the wristband are placed various antennas ... in the video there's no evidence of play store and i have doubts about compatibility with 3rd party apks due to round display visualization and because of their Android's OS called ZOS...

what do you think?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I would like to find out but have yet to see anyone actually get one delivered!!!

[Other SmartWatches] jpapadami:
I actually contacted Zeaplus to ask them when will it be available to purchase from their online store and for how much. They never replied. Dealsmachine told me they don't have it in stock and Gearbest told me that if there is no delay from the supplier that they expect to restock in 3-7 days. So just waiting to see who will have it in stock first as I am also interested in buying it.

This watch looks and sound great,

Id realy love to know if its possible to run

regular spotify on it independently... (-;
[Other SmartWatches] luigiwidmore:
we are still waiting for shippment so we can fully test it s capabilities. so far all the review websites and articles are written based on the specifications found on seller websites. no actual photos of somebody unboxing it or testing it. i hope the delays in shippment are only bad handled logistics , but recent posts makes me wonder if any sellers like gearbest or tinydeal actually have the watch in stock.i ordered two pieces from gearbest last friday and still no update on the shippment status.will update you guys when i know something , till then we keep on waiting , hoping and assuming.
[Other SmartWatches] BPM:
i would like to know:

is it possible to replace the battery very fast?

is it possible to get a second battery (with an extra charging station)?

whats the lifetime with one charge?

does it have GPS?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
A general announcement to anyone thinking of modifying their watch.

Be careful !!

Please read everything about this process at least twice.

I have already had several private messages asking me to fix semi-bricked watches by posting them to me.

I have a family and a full time position at work and I cannot invest the time to fix peoples watches.

If instructions are followed carefully and the forum posts regarding MTK flash tools are read then there should be no problem.

As a rule - always;

a) full backup first including NVRAM for IMEI using MTK tools.

b) make sure all drivers for SP tools are installed correctly in case of disaster.

c) have the custom TWRP recovery installed on the watch - booting from SD recovery is no good if you can't boot the watch!!

d) make sure watch is fully charged before you do anything that may take some time.

e) copy the TWRP stock backup posted by me earlier in this thread to your SD card

before you do anything significant

- you can delete it after but remember this each time you do something that may prevent normal boot.

This way you can always boot into recovery without your pc and flash back to stock.

Lastly - take some comfort in the fact that it's actually very difficult to permanently brick this device. If you use the correct toolset you can revive the watch almost all the time !!
[Other SmartWatches] Samysaythanks:
Ok, thank you, that helps really!!

Please can you tell me the way out from this position?

dropbox.com/s/tkpcg7o411625w1/_20151120_125323.JPG?dl=1

How can i get the custom recover postet earlier in this form work?

If the watch will work again, i will let my fingers from it -.-
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Full backup on any device you are messing with is a must. I didn't post a notice as this has been a thing since day one of Android development and is repeated all the time. So for me it's second nature. My bad for not saying so.

You are right about bricking. MTK is really easy to "soft brick" (doesn't boot. hangs on boot, etc) but and honest brick is near impossible. When working on the x201, I've purposely flashed phone firmware with a completely wrong partition map and been able to get the watch running again.

If the launcher mods aren't working, not much I can do as I don't have a device to check to see if there's a checksum fail or other issue. All I do know is that launcher apk mods have worked across multiple devices from the HTC Hero, to the OnePlus, to the the x201.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
The top right button will select which option to choose. If you press the right center button the watch will boot into the OS if you select that option.

I guess this is not working for you?

If you learn how to use SP tool you can flash the recovery attached in earlier posts by cyrux75. You need to make your scatter file first with MTK tools.

Make your own backup first.

All the instructions you need are in the link I posted before.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Haven't tried the launcher mod yet. I don't think it would cause any issues though if permissions are set correctly.

I have pulled it out completely while I was using Nova but it went back in without an issue as long as it goes back to /system/priv-app with the rw-r-r- permissions

Only thing I can of think of is odex causing a problem but that should not be the case...
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Just a heads up here.

If you use the firmware upgrade option which [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] uses in his video - you will need to have stock recovery installed and perform a device reset in settings.

Otherwise you will end up with no SD Card storage.

Once you have reset you can flash recovery on it's own in download mode.

Good morning everyone.

I appeal to you to see if I can solve a couple of questions.

1- Is there any way to link the clock (without SIM) in mobile, to be slave to receive notification of incoming calls, answer from the watch if this mobile backpack for example, access mobile agenda for a contact to call, receive notifications in general.

2- What is the application?

I wish I could use roll the car handsfree, which is linked and asks for access to the calendar, send / receive calls and to make some mobile control.

A greeting and thanks in advance

Swapp Link used to work very well. I used it on my ZGPAX S8 for notifications both bluetooth and push via internet for a year without a problem. Then it suddenly stopped working and just out of curiosity i installed it yesterday on the K8 watch and still does not work.

If Cyrill could update it or somebody pick up where he left off, it would be exactly what we need.

Still haven't found any replacement/alternatives for it.

Also, i wanted to let you guy know that i'm very satisfied with the watch. I've received it a few days ago, i rooted it with kingroot. Flashed gapps. I use setCPU to keep the CPU to minimum and the interface is still very smooth. I use Nova Luncher as it allows me to add up to 9 screens where i placed various widgets as watchfaces.

My personal favourite is this one

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NightAnalogClockBuPepa

Highly customizable and resizable to fit full screen. I placed white pointers on a black background and removed the edge.

And the most awsome app i found so far for this watch : Circle Launcher (link bellow). i use it to place a DOT in the middle of it and opens a nice looking round app drawer.

Now i have a very good looking watchface and whenever i click the middle of the screen i can easly get to my most used apps.

Nice find mate.

Thanks very much. ?
[Other SmartWatches] luigiwidmore:
Just stumbled accross this app :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apalon.weatherlive

It has a round widget that looks awsome on our watch. untill now i used transparent weather widget

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid27.transparentclockweather&hl=ro

but it looks kind of odd because of the square structure. Enjoy the round one.

Also , You can take a look at this battery widget that looks nice on round screen and i find it very usefull since we don't have a notification bar to tell use the battery level like we're used to on our phones.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ssvapps.battery.com

If anybody else has discovered other nice looking apps/widgets for this watch, please , feel free to post it here.

Also, does everybody get odd behavior from the Google Now app? the search works but cards are not showing correctly and when i try to scroll down the app freezes.
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
I'm using with great satisfaction "Pujie Black Watch Face"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pujie.wristwear.pujieblack

Altough it is primarily for Android Wear, it allows to create also widget that perfectly fit on our watch screen that are almost identical to the Wear version (only the hand for the seconds it's not available); it's extremely customisable and also there are many preset available online (e.g. Facerepo.com).

The "on screen" configuration it's a pain, and I had to force 70 dpi with AppSetting to be able to use the App on the watch itself, but it is possible to create your preset on the phone and share it to load on your watch.

Did you need to add the live wallpaper system files to get this working?

Also curious to know how you set this up on your phone and pushed it to the watch?

I worked it out but the image quality is terrible compared to the regular launcher clocks.

I'll keep looking...
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
No need of LWP, it creates round widgets; they are also interactive, by tapping on it you can see your calendar events.

You can share your creations, that is they are shared on Google+ page of the publisher and they can be imported in your watch as special URL code.

Many presets are listed on Facerepo site as well.

When you have created, modified or imported a preset, you have to remove "70 dpi" set in AppSetting to have full image quality on widget. ;)
