[Amazfit] Danimatos:
No, I wasn't using the old version.

I used the rel 28, because the full install link was already off, the launcher became broken, updated to rel 29 but the problem remained.

I tried to use adb in order to delete all user data from the watch and nothing, but a factory reset was impossible, because I couldn't start the watch.

Yesterday I tried again, but this time I coudn't get root access, when I upload the temporary root in Fastboot mode, my Pace didn't reboot, I had to do it manually, and when it reboots, no root for me.
[Amazfit] p3hdl:
After having massive problems with global rom, I updated my Amazfit Pace to PACEfied 1.2.51. Since this update my watch works quite fine.

There is just one thing that is kind of annoying. Every day I get notifications about a news version 2.6.1.0 with chinese letters. Is it possible to disable this notification?
[Amazfit] tr3mm0r:
2.6.5.0 already out.
[Amazfit] LongToeBoy:
Same problem here... I installed zip without adb, with TWRP, thought this was the problem. still trying to figure out the problem
[Amazfit] LongToeBoy:
so, I fixed it. Factory wipe actually worked.

i installed rel 38 with TWRP. had problem "Unfortunately Launcher / HMDeskClock has stopped working"

after installing release 38 with TWRP I again installed it properly with adb (I think it wasn't necessary)

Then made Factory Wipe using

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR

restarted, it was chinese. also had problems with pairing.

then updated to release 39. changed lang and everything works fine. so far no errors
[Amazfit] arroutada:
Yes, you can program both and even make a mix. You can also create different interval sequences and keep them stored to use on demand

Error while booting with pacified

I'm trying to boot my amazfit pace with pacified but everytime it starts and after a few minutes it just says error
[Amazfit] NirHa:
I'm really confused about all the options available for the PACE.

I have a Chinese version that I bought back in 2017 and I just want to have the newest firmware possible in English.

Can someone help with the steps I need to take?

My current firmware is: 2.6.1.0 and it's the A1602 model.

Thank you!
[Amazfit] Hugguito:
Tks, Checking

Can anyone tell me if there's a piece missing from the power button?
[Amazfit] Naq_93:
Hello. I need to unlock the bootloader in the Amzafit Pace watch. The website https://unlockamazfit.com is not working. where can I get the code now?
[Amazfit] Zootopia:
I vote for B Neuer_User.

Anyway, in any case, your work is more than welcome and will be greatly appreciated. ?
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
Yeah, Option B is the way to go - IMO Huami / Xiaomi won't release a newer firmware for the A1612 than the outdated 1.3.0n in the near future (they even cleared all the feature requests existed on the official support page), so I think I'll wait for the next release of the permanent PACEfied ROM with all those goodies thanks to you, Neuer_User, and forget about this outdated ROM finally with imperial support only!
[Amazfit] Danupop:
[MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION]

If i want to add more font like Thai Font (Noto Sans Thai or Noto Serif Thai), can i just download Google Noto Font and follow your procedure above?

Currently i have Original English ROM Watch.

Thank you :D
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
B all the way
[Amazfit] madtech360:
While option B seems to be good, what about Future OTA updates? Will we be able to get them as usual (even though it may be in Chinese)?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
No, you would need to flash back to the original firmware if you want to get OTAS from Huami. That's the drawback. With option a you simply reboot, and you are back to original firmware and can receive any updates.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Yes, should work. Please report when you tested it.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
Vote for option B.

Recently discovered ways of getting into fastboot pretty eliminated risks of flashing and the need for A option.

Almost forgot: it should be "B+" option with custom OTA updates :)
[Amazfit] aho3:
Thanks for open discussion and poll.

I would go for B option.
[Amazfit] drbourbon:
A Huami guy told a new release is coming:

Frederik Hermann A new firmware update is coming soon to the International version of the Amazfit Pace watch not only addressing bugs but also adding new features (some pre-existing in the Chinese version). I don't have the exact list yet because of the Chinese New Year break/radio silence :) but I expect for it to drop shortly after everybody returns from the break.

Option B.

About OTA updates: what about hacking the update url in the system update app and make our own update server?
[Amazfit] Victordiazbis:
My vote for option A
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
Option B!

I have way more confidence in [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] 's programming skills than in Huamis cryptic promises.
[Amazfit] xator91:
Option B is the best way.
[Amazfit] Victordiazbis:
I have a question with regards to option B. Will we loose the user data (activities, alarms, pairing...) when flashing?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
No, currently not.
[Amazfit] lordzahl:
Option B!

Btw i cant connect Pacefied with the Playstore Amazfit watch and therefore sync with stava - is there a solution?
[Amazfit] Victordiazbis:
I am syncroniced simoultanously to strava and mifit with current option A PACEfied rom. That's why I don’t want to change anything. The only thing I would like to improve is the accuracy of the heart rate monitor. That kind of development is much easier for the manufacturer. That's why I love the option of switching quickly to the latest official chinese rom.
[Amazfit] robinhud1988:
1.26c

1.2.6c is out !

i haven't tried PACEfied on it yet.

is it safe to do it ?
[Amazfit] giapin:
Installation options

I vote for option A.

Reason: safety first. This option has proven to work perfectly well and be bricksafe. Flashing can't be 100% risk-free, I think. :fingers-crossed:
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Downloading :)
[Amazfit] robinhud1988:
1.2.6c

the watch seems more fluid. i think its a stability update. haven't noticed any significant change yet.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Looking at the content of the update, it looks mainly as changes in the art engine and the kernel.

EDIT:

This is the official changelog:

1.2.6c update log

-repair running lock screen interface stride frequency error problem
[Amazfit] Ericmo:
Me too. I vote for option A.
[Amazfit] losteagle:
I vote for option B,

Because I prefer a fixed ROM with ability to power off my watch.
[Amazfit] Kaudii:
I vote for option B,

Because I prefer a fixed ROM with ability to power off my watch.
[Amazfit] Peaschy:
I vote for option B,

Because I prefer a fixed ROM with ability to power off my watch. ;)
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
I am okay with both versions.

For using it, option b is better but for trying new ota updates, option a would be fine, too. ;)

But i am still sure, they will merge CN and US firmware in the future. They just needed a quick solution to get it on the market.
[Amazfit] robinhud1988:
soooo has anyone tried PACEfied on top of 1.2.6c?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Not tried, but should work. (but no optimizations of 1.2.6c will be in effect then)
[Amazfit] robinhud1988:
guess i gotta stick with half Chinese for now till the new PACEfied rom based on 1.2.6c is out.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
PACEfied (whatever version) will run on top of anything bootable ;)

The question is whether 1.2.6c is good enough to be the base of the next PACEfied version. I think yes, as apparently they fixed the dreaded "launcher has stopped" error caused by notifications :)
[Amazfit] robinhud1988:
never had that issue so far. i was hoping for more function in the future updates. maybe ability to install some apps ...
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Where did you read this? :confused:
[Amazfit] calzone123:
I'm receiving FB notifications, scrolling them with wrist shaking and it works with no error. Never worked before.

I remember chinese reported this error on their Huami forum, so... and you said there were changes inside kernel/engine :)
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
And this started working with 1.2.6c?
[Amazfit] calzone123:
yes, started working without causing an error (worked unstable since 1.2.5a)
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
So, you are now running on original 50% translated Huami Firmware 1.2.6c?
[Amazfit] calzone123:
yes
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Ok, good to know. So, the next release will include these enhancements then. (if there hadn't been any well noticable improvements, I would have skipped the steps to update my image).
[Amazfit] calzone123:
They also fixed a cadence display bug while running. It used to show "1", "2" or "3" and had nothing to do with real steps-per-minute. This bug was well known.

The next PACEfied release would be a great chance to test the new flashing procedure (version numbering inconsistencies) too.

Thank you for your incredible work!

PS.

In kilometers/miles showing problem: I flashed english and chinese firmwares several times (real flash, not PACEFied) without factory reset and all my data remained. But this caused some strange results, like english firmware showing me kilometers and now on chinese 1.2.6c I see miles. So the personal data has an impact on the units the watch is displaying regardless of firmware locale version. I'm pretty sure (I've done it before) that if I factory reset my watch now, after pairing and syncing all the data would be presented in kilometers again.
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
i think that there should be a step with user wiping data during flashes and cross flashes.
[Amazfit] giapin:
Where did you find this? I've been looking for the changelog in the Huami forum, but it isn't there yet. Thanks!

Edit: Probably translation from the update notice on the watch?

Edit 2: Answer below, thanks. It is actually the same chinese text.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
It's in the answer the update server responds with when you contact it with an update request:

I try the code for adding font but it replied with mount: Operation not permitted.

I also try to root my English version watch. After push 2 files to watch and run next step it replied like this

/system/bin/sh: /data/local/tmp/dcow /data/local/tmp/run-as /system/bin/run-as\: not found

I try to find solutions in previous post but not help on this issue.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
This only works on PACEfied ROM, not on any original firmware.
[Amazfit] fireon123:
I vote for option A. There is no reason for taking away the OTA possibility when A is so easy to set up and problem free. I never restart my watch and never let it run out of battery anyway.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

As long as you are talking about Amazfits support page this is not true. The Amazfit feature requests are still located here: https://huami.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200700528-General-Requests
[Amazfit] heger:
Yes, I did. It took a while, because I couldn't update the watch to 1.2.6c, because of wifi connections problems. Turning wifi (on my cellphone off and on didn't work. Finally I choosed to unpair my watch what (of course) forced me to reset the watch to factory settings.

After this all I could update my (again fully chinese )watch. After the update (1.2.6c) I performed the partial version from [MENTION=3464625]1mmortal[/MENTION], so my watch was in partly English. After that I installed the ROM version (1.2.6b) from [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION], what went very well. No launching problems what so ever. So all is functioning well: in full English and updated to 1.2.6c

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Oh......and I prefer option B, but so far I easily can live with option A. As long of course there are no weekly watch updates which 'force' [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] to develop new ROM versions and you have to keep monitoring the battery status or / and you can't turn the watch off. BTW: thanks again [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3464625]1mmortal[/MENTION] for all your work.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
That would really make sense.

The other thing i came about is what happens if the database on the watch will get too big in size. I mean it works right now but it might be an issue thtat forces you to set back your watch to factory settings in the future.

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

What happens if the ota update of the original firmware does update components like the GPS module on the watch? Can you make sure that these updates will be applied by upgrading with PACEfied, too? Some people had issues when flashing from a non Updated CN to EN because of that.

Or do we have to reflash to CN, do the ota update and then have to reflash to PACEfied?

Then i would vote to stay with the temporary solution.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
No, I am currently working on my own updater that will also flash the sensorhub, when needed.
[Amazfit] shayne77:
Option B.
[Amazfit] articnet:
[MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] thanks for this image. As any other user with the english version of the watch I DEFINITELY opt for option B. The english firmware is a joke, missing watchfaces, an infinite number of bugs and the list can go on forever.

I would really not mind flashing the watch to get something decent finally (also if you need a tester, count me in.)
[Amazfit] xator91:

[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
So, if I didn't count wrongly, there seems to be a quite clear vote for option B in favor of option A (17:4).

So, I will focus on option B then (which was also my preferred option). I try to automate many steps as much as possible. This will take longer in the beginning, but will probably help me with future releases. Maybe I can even support two releases for both options.
[Amazfit] xator91:
Yes, option B will be amazing. Thanks for your hard work.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Thanks, will include it in next release ?
[Amazfit] tekfreak01:
Option B. And if you want a tester count with me. Thanks for your hard work.

[Amazfit] calzone123:
And how did you "do again" 1.2.6c rom?
[Amazfit] juiceee:
adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot boot boot_PACEfied_AmazFit.img9
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
That actually should not lead to a "1.2.6c" display. The (still) current version either displays 1.2.6b (which is the right version) or the version on the flash of the watch. So, this rather indicates that you have 1.2.6c on the watch as the original firmware.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
I mean this:

If you really got updated to 1.2.6d then your 1.2.6c rom was overwritten. No way to go back unless you created a backup previously.

I'm sorry, but it just looks like 1.2.6d has never been released :) Maybe you got mistaken?

Yes, it is possible that I was mistaken .. after a night at the disco .. loool

Hi Guys,

here is a closed facebook group that I found - some really cool stuff with the Amazfit watch.

VLC, Opera mini, calculator...

I can not post links to the forum now, so go to facebook and /groups/227999507621434/

Group name

Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Pace Smartwatch
[Amazfit] calzone123:
Many Amazfit smartwatch owners are members of both, FB group and xda forums. We are active here and there for slightly different purposes: FB community is a social group for sharing basic stuff. XDA forums are more technically oriented and there are specific threads for specific subjects.

This one is about PACEfied ROM :)
[Amazfit] iznogoud!:
My vote for now is A.

The reason is :

- the Amazfit official release is not enough stable in terms of performance and features

- The PACEfied rom is still under process for english translation and adding new languages

But as soon as both ROMs reach a stable state, I agree for B

Thanks Neuer_User for this great job !

[Amazfit] iznogoud!:
Beware of the string length when translating, european language string are often longer than chinise ones.

What I was afraid of when translating has happened : some english texts are too long and are cropped by the screen containers.

Here are 2 screenshots in Training app to illustrate the problem.

There are 2 ways to overcome :

- change the layout

- change the text to reduce the length of the string

2nd way is much more easy.
[Amazfit] iznogoud!:
Hi,

Also for translators : you may have to also translate arrays.xml
[Amazfit] xator91:
Thanks for the tips. We did it. However, in the next release, we will fix better the long strings.

[MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION]: will be in the new version that will be released to select more than just two languages need to be IT or CS?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
The new version mainly focusses on the new installation mechanism. I need to establish some at least partly automated processes, otherwise it will take to much work for each new release. I also plan for the release after this release to support both options (temporary and permanent) for installations.

The next release is based on 1.2.6c and will have a lot of small improvements in translation. It will also contain the other languages that I got from contributors, but only if they compiled without errors. They will also be completely untested, so may work or not. It will be the work of the upcoming releases to improve these.
[Amazfit] alexinc:
how to select those languages then? using adb command or automatically by checking the language of connected phone?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
using the "setprop persist.sys.language" command.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Well, i got confused by updating to 1.2.6c and then booting into Pacefied 1.2.6b because the watch then said it could be updated to c. That might explain your confusion and then you just mixed up the letters. ;)

NEW VERSION 1.2.6c released

PACEfied Amazfit, version 1.26c, permanent install has just been released :)

The installation has been tested on three watches so far without any problems. For features and changelog see post #1 and #2.

I will release later also the temporary install version.
[Amazfit] tekfreak:
Could you verify the donwload link for 1.2.6c, when download report as 1.2.6b version.

[Amazfit] tekfreak:

[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Yes, stupid me. Exchanged the wrong link :lol: Now fixed (and checked!).
[Amazfit] drbourbon:
Trying #2 from my current PACEfied ROM (1.2.6b)..

For some reason the last script command "reboot bootloader" performs a normal reboot to the flashed rom (1.3.0n).

I've tried issuing the command manually from within "adb shell": same behavior (full reboot to flashed rom instead of usual bootloader).

Actually the only way I am able to enter fastboot (fastboot logo on the watch) is after booting flashed rom (1.3.0n).

Confused..

SOLVED: it wasn't clear to me that you don't have to be on temporary install to perform the update (thanks [MENTION=2111878]ernasm[/MENTION])
[Amazfit] ernasm:
Thank you Neuer_User, It's great, just flashed permanent ROM successfully.

For permanent install, the instruction should be added, If currently running previous PACEfied (temporary install), it should be rebooted first. Otherwise one will tend to flash from temporary ROM like I did.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
It#s not completely clear to me where the confusion comes from (probably because I wrote the instructions, it is difficult to see that :) ).

Is it, because the instructions for permanent install get confused with the one for temporary install?

Or are the three options to gaining root on your current install unclear?

To explain: You can install it from every currently installed ROM you run on your watch. You only need to have root access in adb shell. This differs depending on the ROM you currently run:

old PACEfied had root enabled always. You need to do nothing.

new PACEfied (nobody running that yet except me) needs one command "adb root" to switch to root access

Original CN or US versions must be rebootet via fastboot with special boot image to gain root access.

After that the commands are identical for all installations.
[Amazfit] drbourbon:
The first option (temporary install) didn't work for me: I had root access in adb shell, but "reboot bootloader" command resulted in normal boot of flashed ROM.

The third option worked smoothly.

Thanks again for your work [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION]
