How to install English voice end WearSports.apk with english voice and km. thanks..
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
Mega ask me the decryption key

Were your watch already half translated to English?

If not follow step 5 in post #1 ,set prop.......en
[Amazfit] chincheang:
Only watch face was translated, the other pages still in Chinese. I did not execute step 5 this time. Wonder why mega ask for decryption key as it is already included in the link.
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
Maybe I don't explain well.

Before you start the procedure, was your watch fully Chinese or half translated to English?

[Amazfit] chincheang:
It was fully chinese before I started.
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
That's the problem!

It need to be partially in English!

You can skip that following step 5!

[Amazfit] chincheang:
Sorry, I don't really get you. You meant I have to follow step 5, partially convert it to Chinese before I proceed to step 6? When I read OP, it says step 5 is "optional". Please confirm.

BTW, here is another box link for the screen record I did earlier is it is still useful.

i update my computer and now it works! the rom has booted.

but now the app in my phone lost the capability to chosse the wigets you want to see

and the load photo in the watche faces... :(
[Amazfit] madtech360:
Step 5 is optional for those with Amazfit Pace watch sold in US (which is already in English)

If you have a Chinese Amazfit pace, step 5 is needed. It instructs the watch to use English . My understanding is that this translated ROM has both English and Chinese text and it is necessary to set the language to be used.
[Amazfit] chincheang:
I see now. I will try when I have time later. Yes, my watch is the chinese amazfit pace .

[MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION], can you please add these two fonts to the system with your next rebuilds? these fonts will add Hebrew supports without any additional alteration, as Itay Sperling investigated.

the only issue with Hebrew currently is that on the lockscreen, for notifications, some more tweaking is need to be done on the framework.jar file, i'll try to provide that one soon.

simple question...how to see the QR code again in pacified 1.2.10 without factory reset?

...ok...already know! forget it..
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I tested it on two watches (my development watch and my daily runner). I had no problems. [emoji44]
[Amazfit] alexinc:
it's working for me. i used the full installation - no more fc too... :)

can one explain to me why i get "unable to obtain movement index" while others get information if weather is suitable for sports or not on settings screen!?
[Amazfit] rqdb:
I upgraded the watch, activities are still on amazfit app but not on the watch anymore (sync has been done). Is it possible to send activities back on the watch ?

Is there a way to sync with an other app than mifit and midong ? Thanks !
[Amazfit] sakilxda:
Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!!
[Amazfit] luispsilva:
Why? why?

Edit: Sorry guys...I'm almost sleeping! Already saw the mistake
[Amazfit] Lobod:
You must change directory to c:/adb using 'cd c:/adb'

Well ... I'm sleeping too ..
[Amazfit] madtech360:
I also had the issue of the watch getting stuck in update loop. I was updating from Rel 5 to the "New" Rel 6 (Update not Full Install).

After couple of update loops, i issued a Reboot command from adb shell. It did not help, as the watch rebooted into recovery again and started the update again.

As a next step to break out of the update loop, I went into fastboot (adb shell reboot bootloader) and did fastboot continue to start normal boot. This worked, and the watch rebooted normally, did the usual app optimization (for 46 apps) and started. From watch info, I could confirm that the watch was updated to 1.2.11.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Would you be able to zip the folder "/cache/recovery" with all its content and send it to me? You need to have adb in root mode so, "adb root" is needed first (you can unroot later with "adb shell unroot").

Maybe the logs in that folder can help me understand what the problem is. Thanks!
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
i've done what [MENTION=8004430]madtech360[/MENTION] wrote before i saw your post, the watch booted normally after the fastboot continue - thanks [MENTION=8004430]madtech360[/MENTION] !
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Did you also use the full install or the update install?
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
The update one
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I drafted a first tutorial, how to test modified apks on your watch: https://gitlab.com/Neuer_User/PACEfied_AmazFit/wikis/how-to-test-translations

It is meant only for people with some computer understanding, which I assume most contributors have. Everybody needs to adapt paths accordingly to his/her system. It should help make development faster. :)
[Amazfit] heger:
Same problem here (updating to Rel 6). but in my case I didn't need to do anything. After a 4 times update loop, my watch rebooted as it should. Now it's updaded to 1.2.11
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Difficult to find out what is the problem. Next to the changes in the files (which should have no effect on the update process), I also changed the timings for the progress indicators. They had been quite a bit off, so I adjusted them. Maybe that has some negative side effect. I probably reverse this for the next update.
[Amazfit] BastiaanBaron:
Is it possible to add in the OP:

- the version of the original rom that is the base for a pacefied rom

- changelog for original rom and changelog pacefied rom.

Yesterday I got an update notification for amazfit version 1.3.2. Currently running pacefied 1.2.10 (thanks for the great work!). Is pacefied 1.2.11 based upon amaxfit 1.3.1 or 1.3.2?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
That is already in there since the very beginning.

Changelog for PACEfied is in post #2. Original changelog is not added.

That is not the ROM, but the phone app.
[Amazfit] BastiaanBaron:
OK, thanks. Didn't scroll down to the seccond post.. (I'm an idiot :eek:).

The only thing I'm missing is the changelog of the chinese firmware huanghe-x.x.xx. Is this somewhere in english? Could this be added (to have all info in one place)
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Yeah, I might add that for future releases.
[Amazfit] bc1977:
Hi all,

Sorry for the stupid question but...

What is "user-made pointer dial function"?

Thanks.
[Amazfit] penguinunix:
It's someway that you can create your own watchfaces, very customized, you can customized the background, the watch hour, minute and second pointer, the layout and so on.

You may open this link https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/how-to-make-watch-amazfit-t3571751 to see details about it.
[Amazfit] knife_20:
need some help please.

During the last update I forgot to cancel the old update.zip and the other updating files before pushing the new ones. The result is that the watch is on an update looping....... the watch begin to update than before rebooting updates again in loop...... can't stop the loop..... Perhaps I have to wait the battery go down under 40% .... ?

Thank you for the hard work.

[Amazfit] leondas69:
after 1.2.11 second release I still get FC on Activities . (but FC on airplane mode option stopped).I did a full permanent install after an update install but problem still on.

Solution is to change time format back to 24H
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
Where do you mean to change it?

Settings/More/Time format?

If I tap on it, nothing happens!

I've tried to change watchface too,but without results.

I'm on Italian translated permanent

Inviato dal mio MI 5s utilizzando Tapatalk
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Yes. Are you sure, nothing happens? It only changes the subtitle from 24h to 12h and vice versa. No new window opens, so it is sometimes very difficult to notice. Or maybe a problem of Italian translation? You could try to switch back to English:

adb shell setprop persist.sys.country \"\"
adb reboot

What exactly is the problem with the watchfaces?
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
Worked!

I put the watch under bright light and glasses on too, and I've been able to see it changing![emoji1] [emoji1]

I was thinking that it was related to watchfaces using numbers to display time (09:00) not watch hands; forgive about that

I tried your tutorial to decompile apk and translate, I'm working on translation check . Will report when finished, recompile and push it to watch

As usual, thank you

Hi all,

i've maybe a stupid question:

i've uninstalled my amazfit app in my phone, and reinstall it but now i need to scan again the watch QRcode.

is the only way to get this QRcode is to reset the watch? Because i don't want to loose my running datas

thanks
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
If you have enabled the Huami Launcher, there will be a BLE con(nect?) app, and you can re-display your QR code.

To enable the Launcher go to Settings -> About -> tap on Legal statement several times.
[Amazfit] icekrim:
Thanks 5tormChild but i go there but don't find any BLE con i go inside lab and then i've :

-Wear Logger

-Systemsettings

-Self test

-Lancher App list

etc...
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
It has an icon of an apple - I don't know why, maybe it's the Chinese humour. ;)

Are you on the latest PACEfied v1.2.11?

Edit: it's not in the lab, it's on the rightmost screen.

Edit 2: you have to enable Launcher from Huami Labs if I recall correctly.
[Amazfit] icekrim:
thanks a lot 5tormChild, i wasn't aware of this screen!

My watch is now paired without resetting it! :good::good::good:

FYI i'm still on Pacefied 1.2.10
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed that battery life seems to be impacted heavily using the alarm app? Alarms off, I was getting about 4 days life and with 2 alarms activated it dropped 30% in 5 hours. I'm pretty sure that's the only thing different other than activating the semi-custom watch face Eternal Moment
[Amazfit] Kaudii:
Super Case, running, I can finally some work translation freely, everything works the changes are reflected in the watch, you can easily adjust the length of phrases, the only problem I came across this compilation failures bluetooth.apk, but not a problem at this point, the rest is ok. I recommend to all contributions
[Amazfit] Cracklydisc:
[MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION]

In your tutorial:

4. Recompile the apk with apktool: 'java -jar /path/to/apktool.jar b /path/to/OutputDir'

5. Open the apk in a zip archive application. Add the directory "META-INF" and the file "AndroidManifest.xml" into the root directory of the zip archive. Eg under Linux this can be done like this: 'cd /path/to/OutputDir/original/; zip -r /path/to/new_apk/HuamiWatchFaces.apk META-INF AndroidManifest.xml'

in the point 4 you can use 'java -jar /path/to/apktool.jar b -c /path/to/OutputDir'

META-INF contains apk signatures. After modifying the apk it is no longer signed. You can use -c / --copy-original to retain these signatures. However, using -c uses the original AndroidManifest.xml file, so changes to it will be lost.

so you can skip the point 5!

I use this method in my translation , so it is tested! :)
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Sorry, isn't related to alarms. Battery performance is still horrible, have dropped 70% in 12 hours (so only 30%remaining). Am wondering whether I can do anything about it or go back to a previous Rom. Nobody else with a Chinese pacefied on 1.2.11 with a radical difference in battery life compared to 1.2.9?
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
Maybe you should do a factory reset then.

My watch is on PACEfied 1.2.11. Two hours of walking means 6-7% battery, twelve hours of nothing (= the watch laying on the shelf) means around 3% battery, BUT I don't have my watch connected to my phone all the time, only when syncing, because I don't need "smart" notifications (they are more convenient to read and deal with on my phone).

This way I can walk over 50 km on one charge, which means 3-4 days, and I almost never let my watch go below 33% battery.
[Amazfit] gagan.u20:
Hi, try my X-Tools to easy decompile/re-compile apk file and other utility stuffs. :)

Also, I am working on an app to create watchfaces for our amazing amazfit smartwatch :D

Since I don't have amazfit right now (already ordered and will get in next 10-15 days), I am not able to test it properly and looking for help from you guys.

Thanks. :)
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Thanks. Have just finished reverting back to 0.9.5 and then performed the full version install to 1.2.11 instead of the update version from v5 to v6. Haven't done a factory reset yet. I'll see how it performs and report back later.

What I do think I'm seeing though is that charging seems to be taking longer. That could mean that on the v5 (1.2.10) & v6 (1.2.11) update versions that the battery charge indicator was off and it wasn't fully charged. Could be related to the rom or could be the custom Rom update versions don't work properly for the chinese watch. In that case always performing the full install might be the answer.

Or this could be complete speculation on my part based on wishfull thinking due to the current time of day here (sun is just starting to rise here in Holland) :p
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
What apktool version are you using? My current version (2.2.2) does not list that option. And the current documentation on the apktool site doesn't show that either (https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/documentation/#rebuild). Is that a hidden option?

EDIT: Just found the text hidden in the middle of the documentation. Strange that they do not list this option officially.
[Amazfit] vincefer:
Hi rhtizzy.

I'm observing a similar battery drain after 1.2.11 update from 1.2.10.

This morning is showing 45% when it was charged yesterday morning. No activities or HR monitoring enabled during that time. I have no idea where the battery usage comes from. But definitively started after installing 1.2.11.

Saludos.
[Amazfit] Cracklydisc:
it is not in the official list, I do not know why but it's work :)
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Hi there, are you also on a chinese watch? I actually did the OTA update to 2.11 right after I downgraded to .95 just to make sure all drivers were included and then did conversion to pacefied 2.11, but after a few hours I'd lost 20% so that wasn't the solution. I then did a factory reset, bummer to have to sacrifice my data and even worse that it seems not to have made a difference. Perhaps it's still settling in though so will keep an eye on it the next few hours before I look for other things. If it comes to it I'll go back to 1.2.9 as that had amazing battery life so if it too turns sour I probably have a hardware issue. Cheersbackatya
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
Guys, try to change your Amazfit/mifit version, it's not always related to the rom version.
[Amazfit] vincefer:
Yes, it is the chinese version. PACEfied several versions ago. And working flawlessly until last version.

I'll probably wait until next version usually released every weekend. And if the battery drain continues, I'll also take it back to an earlier version.

Hi, i just got my Amazfit chinese version from Gearbest.

I flashed the last pacified rom successifully.

- To initialize watch I had to download chinese amazfit app, because the one in play store did not work. Now I have paired the watch but the app is in chinese, so don't understand anything.

- After paring, the watch show me a watchface, but it's freezed. It does not respond to swipe and touch with my finger. If I press the button for long time it does restart, but after boot is finished the watch it's freezed again.

Can you help me please?

[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Sorry for your problem. It is important that you first update the watch via OTA to a recent version. Otherwise this leads to this freeze problem.

Solution see here: https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/ot...mi-amazfit-t3532508/post70521085#post70521085

After that, you can then flash PACEfied.

Hi, thank you for your amazing work.

I spent all day and I finally managed to downgrade to Chinese version, update, and flash again Pacified. All seems to work fine, I'm very happy. Please post this alert in first post: you need to update to the last Chinese version before flashing custom rom.

OTA 1.2.11c
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Have downgraded to 1.2.9 as that doesn't require another reset and pairing hassle like downgrading the app would. Battery wasn't lasting 24 hours on 1.2.11
[Amazfit] alexinc:
But that's not always a rom issue, sometimes it's the combination with amazfit app... for me 1.2.11 doesn't have battery drain. Had that once with older version of rom and app, after re-pairing that drain was gone.
[Amazfit] alekos panagulis:
I noticed also.

It's better I don't update, right? I should wait pacified.

Well... Actually you can't update to it if you're on pacefied, different recovery the ota just won't work.
[Amazfit] vincefer:
Yes, it looks like it was related to the Amazfit app. I reconnected the watch to the app before the recharge yesterday. And it has only used 10% of battery during the last 18 hours.

It is strange because the watch is disconnected from the phone app very often. And I've never seen this problem before. But something was going on that pairing.

I received my A1612 today. Updated to 1.3.1 latest and then flashed pacefied rel.6. Now it shows A1602 with 1.2.11. After that I also tried to update from rel.6 to rel.7 but when I start to install it gives me error: checksum of md5s is not OK (1 out of 3). Tried to download and extract again but the same problem. Anyone with a solution? My other (bigger) problem: watch shows no notifications except for the firmware update. Everything is set right (my paired pebble shows everything), test notifications working, but nothing else. Is there any workaround to get it working? Connected with the Chinese amazfit apk, using on android 7.0

Tapatalked from a Zuk Z2 Pro (by Lenovo)
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Agreed, I downgraded to 1.2.9 and still had the battery issue so either hardware or the app. Seeing as though there are a few now saying it's the app I'll go with that. But a little unclear, are you using an older version of Amazfit, or are you doing something different with the pairing?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Concerning the md5s.txt error, you probably missed to push some files to the watch.
[Amazfit] doongoo:
tried the whole process again.

pushed all the 4 files and if starting the update I got this message:

"============= PACEfied Installer ===============

start_update.sh: OK

update.zip: FAILED

recovery.img: OK

md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 3 computed checksums did NOT match

So md5sum for the update.zip (I guess) must be somehow wrong. I try to download again the update package and extract again.

By the way: how can I check whether there are any remainining ( I mean older version) files on the watch? If I connect it to PC, it shows none of the pushed files in the root directory.

And what is the right method (adb commands) to remove old files (not to have collision during update)? If I factory reset the watch, does it delete all earlier pushed files from it?

Hi Guys,

i've just ordered the chinese version of amazfit and i want to ask few questions (cause 110 pages thread is really hard to get through, and i'd rather ask someone who already did it).

What should i do once the watch is here and is all in Chinese - is there a preferred way to get the watch to PACEfied ?

i mean should i first update the chinese version to newest version (via OTA), and then reflash it with pacefied rom, or will I be able to just flash the pacefied to the watch right as i recieved it ?

And what about the APP - should i use English or Chinese app ? (is chinese app translated?)

Thanks a lot for answer
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Please update first via OTA to latest Chinese firmware before flashing PACEfied. Use the Chinese app. The QR code on the watch will direct you anyway to the download of this version.

Chinese phone app is very well translated.

[Amazfit] wolf35@:
Yes I do
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
The applypatch command is in update.zip's /system/bin folder, so it should be there.

Try to re-root your watch again following this: https://gitlab.com/Neuer_User/PACEfied_AmazFit/wikis/permanent-install

(read section 4 thorougly), then run

adb shell

and then

cd /sdcard/; sh start_update.sh

Maybe the recovery partition is missing some files - I don't know, but when @Neuer_User will be online, I'm sure he'll help you.

30 minutes? That's a lot! I don't know, but PACEfied's updates should be ready in less than 5 minutes. Or maybe I'm just lucky. :o

Edit: you should try a different cable - I had problems with the one arrived with the watch.
