"Lemfit Band" iOS app doesn't work

The iOS app "Lemfit Band" doesn't work with the watch (fitness app associated with watch).

But I was able to install Strava on the watch, (I had to also install google maps). I'm guessing the gps will work with strava, but I doubt the inbuilt HR monitor will work.
[Other SmartWatches] rowdy15:
GPS Signal very poor

Done a little bit more mucking around with the watch and can only get gps signals (using the app "gps status and tools") from the watch when I tilt the side the the ceramic gps antenna (side with the on and back buttons) towards the sky. I also tried doing some shielding of the antenna wire from the rest of the watch printed circuit board and cables with some aluminium and electrical tape, not sure if that made a difference though.

Attached is some photos:

It would be awesome if someone with some electrical engineering knowledge could suggest a hack to improve the gps reception of the watch..........

Hi,

Just create a ClockSKin directory on watch storage and copy android watchfaces (not wear) in subfolders.

For example get them from https://clockskin.us/ ;) (see attached)

With this you don't need Universal Launcher for ClockSkin anymore :D

Thanks - I did find I was trying to use Android Wear faces on regular Android watch variant :eek:

All good now, thankyou! :D

New LEM6 firmware update

I used the "default" rom of the LEM6 and it offered a Wireless update.

In fact it was the update of Decembre and I did it (7.8 MB).

Now the watch offers another update (see attachments).

Does anybody know where the downloaded file is located ?
[Other SmartWatches] xavils:
Is this smartwatch LEM6 rooted? I need to have access to Heart Rate Monitor HRM sensor... Anyone have some information about this?
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
Root...

In fact I tried many root methods and none succeeded... until I tried Magisk :D

Then it's easy, no need for special recovery :

- Install Magisk Manager : https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

- copy ORIGINAL boot image (boot.img) on the watch

- Let Magisk do it's... magic

- the patched_boot.img is located in \Internal Storage\MagiskManager

To avoid any error I decided to flash patched_boot.img through SPFlashTools.

And voilà root achieved (see attached screeshots).

Final note : MagiskManager 5.6.0 failed to install (no idea why) but 5.5.0 succeeded and also succeeded into upgrading to 5.6.0.

Feel free to ask me if you need additionnal details.

BTW :

May I ask you what you are looking to do ? I'm always eager to do more with my LEM6 :D
[Other SmartWatches] claudiobar:
Hi Howell! I'm so glad you managed to make it!

If you could share a more detailed guide, me and many others would be greatly thankful (for instance, I'm not completely sure what you mean by "copy ORIGINAL boot image (boot.img) on the watch" > original from where and to what folder in the watch?

Thanks in any case, and regards
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
Root with Magisk explained

OK no problem :)

1) What you need :

- A full Android (not Wear) watch : here we are using a Lemfo LEM6 but i'm to try with 2 others

- Internet access on the watch (I use Wifi)

- a Windows PC (for my case but it is feasible from Linux but not covered here)

- MTP enabled and fonctionning on the watch so you can copy file(s) to the watch (for the LEM6 we use "watch storage" which yould appear when you connect the wath to the PC) but you can use MyPhoneExplorer (see below)

- an ORIGINAL (not modified) boot.img : either you know how to extract from the watch itself (tuto exists to do so) but the easiest way is to use one from a rom update or from someone who did it

- Magisk Manager : official thread : https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)

- optional : I use MyPhoneExplorer to access watch, install/uninstall apps, extract and copy files to/from the watch and control it with my PC mouse and keyboard

2) Getting boot.img

The easiest way is to extrac it from a rom. This one works : https://yadi.sk/d/eAMFytYh3QeCLx

Extract and just copy boot.img to the watch storage via MTP or MyPhoneExplorer. I choose to copy to the Download folder but anywhere on the watch storage would work as you have to tell Magis where the boot.img is.

3) Intalling Magisk

Download Magisk Manager for the link above and install it on the watch. I used MyPhoneExplorer to do so but one can just copy the apk to watch storage and launch it.

Magisk Manager v5.5.0 worked for me but v5.6.0 refuses to install.

But after install it asked from an update and it worked :) This is why you need Internet access on the watch ;)

4) Patching boot.img

Magisk ill do it... Launch Magisk on the watch :

Click Install and then install :

Click Patch Boot Image

Select the boot.img where you put it on watch storage

And Magisk do it's magic :D

The patched_boot.img is located in \Internal Storage\MagiskManager so you can find it in Watch Storage in MTP.

I decided to flash it via SPFlashTools as I find it easier to use. Select ONLY boot image !!!

When you reboot after flashing and launch Magisk Manager :

If you check root with Root Checker :

If you need more info feel free to ask ;)

[Other SmartWatches] Haverping:
Hi everybody,

I wanted just to say Hello.

I bought this Lemfo too and must admit it does its work quit well. Actually it should only play music while skiing, running or kiting and while doing this I wanted it usable with gloves and cold or wet fingers.

It was always annoying to my friends and me when I had to unzip my clothes first and stop the music via cellphone when I wanted to do a little small talk.

This works very fine with Bluetooth earplugs and it goes about 6 hours without much breaks. Adorable for such small battery.

While kiting I'm also able to call an emergency contact just in case the wind chances and the kite blew up.

Only the GPS isn't working properly for Runkeeper or similar.

But in the end a good watch.

Now I read here it is possible to root the watch.

My questions therefore is. Have anybody it managed to get rid or manipulate the menu within the watch.

I mean if I want to start the music player I've to get trough the entirely menu.

I don't need SMS or Lemfit.

Would it be possible to change that ta least the order or could I place the most used apps at the seconds screens ?

Hopefully you were able to get sense out my poor english ;)

Have a nice day and read your later
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
I'm gonna check this and test apps which can be usefull during next week as I'm off for winter holidays ?

I'll tell you because I heard off some cool apps I hadn't have time to test so far.

One thing you can do is to sort the apps in the app screen by just drag and drop. I saw that manily when I control the watch via MyPhoneExplorer or a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (I have a nice bt microkeyboard with trackpad).

Stay tuned ?

BTW your English is OK ?
[Other SmartWatches] rowdy15:
Well done.

Great stuff Howell.

I agree with haverping. I don't use the phone parts of the watch (sms etc), and it would be good to have the option to get rid of them.

The one thing I wish worked, was the gps. The receiver is just not sensitive enough.
[Other SmartWatches] Haverping:
I use MyPhonExplorer since I got a Sony Ericson mobile ;) Seems that was a long time ago in a far far galaxy.

But MPE is still the best sync Tool I ever tried. It does what it should in a way it should. No crap like kies or similar.
[MENTION=226797]Howell[/MENTION] Where have you been able to drag and drop the apps ? via MPE ? I couldn't find a way.

Enjoy your holydays

I'm pretty sure anybody have noticed LEMFO relased another update ota this month but maybe some didn't know yet.

After installing it, it seem the battery time increased a bit. Some other effects?

btw. After root we should be able to configure init.rc etc.

Maybe there is a way to get rid of useless screens and reorder some apps.

see you later
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
I did post a screenshot on Feb. 7th to show the update. It's mainly to replace the app to connect to an android phone by Lemfo watch app. If it increases battery time it is great.

I could not find the place where the update is downloaded otherwise I would look at it.
[Other SmartWatches] rhajjar:
Can you please post a detailed steps on how to flash the patched boot.img using SPFlash tools to the lemfo lem6 ?

Sorry but i am using this for the first time.

Thx alot
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
Copy the patched boot image you find on the watch in Magisk Manager directory :

to the directory you extracted the original rom:

I always a recent version of SPFlashTools, for exemple, 5.1728 :

Launch flash_tool.exe and click "choose" on Scatter-Loadind file" line :

and choose the original MT6580_Android_scatter.txt :

deselect ALL :

click on the location I spotted in yellow in the previous screenshot and select the patched_boot.img :

Switch off the watch, click on the Download icon :

Connect the watch and wait until this :

You can now boot the watch and rerun Magisk Manager ;)

If any difficulty, just ask ;)
[Other SmartWatches] rhajjar:
[MENTION=226797]Howell[/MENTION]: Worked like a charm !!! thank you for the valuable response !!

now I have my lem6 rooted !! need to start making the most of it... :)

is there a way to change the menu items and hide the ones related to the phone as I use it as a companion watch and not a stand alone?

Would be much interested to increase the battery life time by reducing the background consumption.

Thank you all ..
[Other SmartWatches] claudiobar:
Hi Howell!

I downloaded the full rom whose link you sent, unpacked boot.img and copied this along with magisk manager to the watch

I could upgrade Magisk Manager no prob

However, when I try to patch boot.img, it just doesn't do anything :(

Could this be related to the boot.img not being completely updated? (that is, the firmware link is for the version previous to the January update)

Thanks in advance for any (even) further help

Regards!
[Other SmartWatches] rhajjar:
[MENTION=6101488]claudiobar[/MENTION]: for me at the beginning it was just the same ... i deleted every thing ... switch off and on ... and started all over after put the boot image file on the watch storage directly and not inside the downloads folder ... then it worked ...

Try that maybe it helps ... good luck !

How much different is the latest firmware and the old one,do you think is need it, because i am using the russian firmware and i am happy waiting for Jinvice too. If somebody found the firmware if tenfifteen F3 smartwatch same as the Lemfo Lem6 would be great because it have the bluetooth calling feature.
[Other SmartWatches] rhajjar:
Blutooth calling

Just for the general benefit of the group,i am using watch droid application. And am able to use bluetooth calling using my lemfo lem 6.

I would suggest all to give it a try .. i love this app.

Best luck

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

@duanim: can you please give me more details about the russian ROM?

I was thinking to flash it to my lem 6... but would be nice to hear about the major pros and cons and would you recommend it from a usage point of view ? Or nit that much of advantages ? if you do not mind.

Thanks and kind regards
[Other SmartWatches] duanim:
Just remove some bloadware, no google and other things, but is made with the original firmware
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
The new official firmware mainly replaces the old sync tool with Lemfo one. And maybe some tweaks to optimiez battery life but I cannot confirm because, as I said, I don't know where the downladed firmware update is located otherwise I'd take a look at it...

I planned to test but had had the time for the moment.

For the moment I'm back to the original rom with Magisk to try some tweaks and apps. But as I remember the it was only as duanimsaid : less bloatware.
[Other SmartWatches] rhajjar:
Hi all,

I am not sure how to do that ... but i love my lem6 a lot .. especially with the watch droid software ... but i have 2 downsides that i hope some of you may be able to provide some sort of an advise .

1- I really bought this watch to track my gym workout ... and so far after almost 3 months, i have not found one single way to do it and sync it with my phone .... any suggestions on the best way to do so would be much appreciated.

2- battery life is ok ... but i would be so happy if there is a way to have the watch full day with the need to charge it in the afternoon ... as of today .. i need this afternoon charge to survive the rest of the eve ...

Thanks in advance for any feedback ..

---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

In my second point , I mean 2 say without the need to charge it in the afternoon .. sorry for the typo :)

Hi, does ADB (through USB cable) work on the LEMFO LEM6?

Some reported that LEMFO disabled or crippled ADB in at least an older model.

That ADB works is a requirement, of course.

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] wolllen:
Rom

The lemfo lem6 does not recognize the chip. What do I do ? I change to rom or imei? Please help me

O lemfo lem6 nao reconhece o chip. Oque eu faço ? troco a rom ou o imei ? POr favor, me ajudem
[Other SmartWatches] -mdp-:
The LEM6 just arrived (I risked), I confirm that ADB works as intended.

Of course, you have to perform all the usual procedure (enable developer mode, enable USB debugging, allow host) - but it works normally.

New update

Hi,

There is a new Wireless Update :

Once again : does anybody know where the downloaded file is located ?

For the moment I did not see any modification.
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
Nevermind for the update files, I find where it is located :D It's in /data/data/com.adups.fota/files.

I extracted with adb shell :

Attached you'll find the firmare.txt and the update.zip

If someone can analyse this...
[Other SmartWatches] rhajjar:
Today I have installed the update, before I had a BT connection issue, it always keeps disconnecting ... now it is gone !! dunno if this is the 1 fix they are talking about or is it something else .... I am happy I did install it.

Cheers :D
[Other SmartWatches] Howell:
I'm going back to original rom and will upload every OTA update ;)

Update : I cannot do that as when I get back to original rom it downloads a complete update (see attached).

Update 2 : the update does not work with MagiskManager patched boot image (Error when flashing). To avoid this replace patched boot image by original one, rebooooooooot and apply Ota update and then reflash patched boot image.

Then I'm gonna check where the clock files are downloaded to export them ;)
[Other SmartWatches] enjoisippi:
Wow!~

Howell you are making some really great progress!~ I hope to see more root development on this smartwatch! I recently tried to get my Project Fi working on this to no Avail. I do wish the battery life lasted longer and would play music properly on Bluetooth speakers. I just don't want to give up on this watch. hopefully someone can develop a ROM that optimizes everything or even add androidwear to it :) keep up the work! I will be watching for updates Love this watch. :cool:
[Other SmartWatches] rhajjar:
I actually tried the that many times ... and for some reasons ... i was still getting the error even after flashing the original boot file ...

At the end i did i full swipe and revert back to the original rom.. did the wireles update ... and re rooted again using magisk manager ... and all ok ... one thing is my contacts have become so slow and non responsive sometimes ... but i can live with it as I used watch droid ..
[Other SmartWatches] enjoisippi:
Hello Claudio! it's 14Mar18 I successfully my LEM6 with this method. It was not doing anything with the boot.img when I selected "File manager" and found the boot.img

Instead I downloaded ES explorer and selected that with Magisk Manager and it worked like a charm!

I couldn't find the patched boot img until I went to the "storage" folder instead of the "magiskManager" folder.

it would be LEM6\Watch storage\storage\emulated\legacy and the Patch_boot img will be there!~

Took me 2 hours to figure this out. I'm sure there is a faster way. hopefully all works well!:good::good::good::good:

[Other SmartWatches] buster_friendly:
I am lazy. This will be in bullet points.

With the screen off I was getting a nice strong GPS connection

When I switched the screen on the GPS signal SNR dropped from ~20 to ~9

This implies a hardware issue. Something stupid like poor isolation of the GPS LNA input from something on the PCB

The first thing I tried was rotating the actual antenna block 90 degrees in its rectangular space

This had minimal effect.

I then re-routed the tiny little black co-ax antenna cable over the top of the SIM PCB flexi so the wire was as far away from the main PCB as possible

This appears to have had a positive influence on the GPS signal strength. While the signal level does drop slightly when the screen is switched on I can now get a GPS lock with the screen on and the watch on my wrist
[Other SmartWatches] dimex:
I think I've successfully made this watch my standalone device for the gym! I hate taking my phone with me, but until now (tried some of these full android watches 1.5 years ago), they weren't capable enough in terms of specs and would stutter/crash a lot. I saw this one and decided to give it a shot, mostly because of the 4 buttons which I could remap. I'm a normal automatic watch guy and love horology, so I would never wear a smartwatch day-to-day, I think they're ugly, huge, and stupid, but for the gym this will work great.

I started by using Magisk Manager to patch the boot img, then flashed the patched boot img via SP Flash Tools to gain root. Then I flashed TWRP via SP Flash Tools to get custom recovery (touch doesn't work in it). Then I flashed Xposed using Flashify, now I have root, TWRP, and Xposed.

The Xposed Modules I use are Xposed Additions (for button remapping) and App Settings (to adjust DPI for apps to tweak the sizing on the display). The root app I use is Titanium Backup to freeze just about everything I can. I'm not going to use this for anything but music, keeping time, and tracking my weights/reps in the gym; messaging, calls, and emails can wait until I'm at home.

I remapped the following:

Top right (power): Single Press normal functionality, Double-Click launches hidden recent apps menu which allows me to close stuff faster

Bottom right (Back): Single Press launches/switches to Google Clock with multiple timers for rest, Long Press allows regular back button

Bottom left: Single Press launches/switches to Pandora, Long Press pauses/plays music

Top left: Single Press launches/switches to Google Keep where I track my workouts, Long Press launches/switches to settings so I can quickly access WiFi/Bluetooth

Finally, I didn't like how even with my bluetooth headphones connected, the alarm would blast through both the earphones and the speaker. I found that as being potentially disrespectful to others at the gym. I tried SoundAbout and other software means to disable the speaker, but I couldn't find any, so finally I unscrewed the back and simply placed a piece of tape on the speaker contacts to disable the speaker. I will never use it anyway (it's crap), so now I get both music and alarm/notification sounds only through my bluetooth headphones.

This is actually pretty slick, I've customized this perfectly to my needs. I haven't used it for a full workout yet, so let's see if the battery will last a whole session with no display timeout. I'll only be using it in the gym, so I could care less about short battery life as long as it lasts me through a workout.
[Other SmartWatches] dimex:
I am having an issue. Account manager shows "Sync Off" for my Google Account but when I select it there's no options. I added another account, it synced once, but once I reboot it shows "Sync Off" and no way to choose anything. I'm stuck with 2 accounts that can't sync and there's not even a way to remove them.

This is strange, anyone deal with this?
[Other SmartWatches] duanim:
Nice job

I wish if someone can get me the latest system image and magisk patch image

Seeing as we are e-peening over our lem6's and you will be handed a ban by the clown admin over at round android smartwatches for talking about 'unsupported' (watches the admin could not get a freebie of) watches I will go. I should note this is my second lem6. I broke the first one trying to get silicone grease into the button assembly. On closer inspection I can see the case was already cracked from factory and the GPS signal strength was utterly terrible and one of the button springs was warped meaning the button went all squishy instead of click. This new one has the best GPS signal I have seen in a strap changeable android watch.

Root via magisk

Install Xposed framework

install Xposed edge module

Remap the buttons as such:

Power button - Default

Back button - click>back, double click>menu, long press>recent apps

Heart rate button (actually dpad_right), While screen is on - click>show toast containing time+date+battery, double click>keep screen on, long press>square screen mode toggle

Heart rate button (actually dpad_right), While screen is off - click>screen on for 3 seconds and show toast containing time+battery+date, double click>vibrate out the time (4 sets of vibrations for each number of the 24h clock done with tasker)

Compass button (actually dpad_left), While screen is on - click>shortcuts panel, double click>custom app

Compass button (actually dpad_left), While screen is off - double click>white screen torch

Gestures - swipe down on left side of screen>screen off, swipe up on left of screen>home

Rip out all google cr*pware, install microg for GCM push notifications and offline GSM tower triangulation location.

Tasker - detects when my phone tries to connect and then establish bluetooth internet connection to phone. (this way the battery hit of bluetooth scanning is taken by the phone although wifi seems to allow the system to enter deepsleep more than bluetooth internet connection)

Honourable mentions: Opera mini, Riot.im, freeotp for 2FA codes, minuum keyboard (really good sloppy typing accuracy) and heads up floating notifications.

With this set up I am messaging my GF throughout the day and sneakily browsing the net during boring meetings. I get ~2 days use.
[Other SmartWatches] Rojoyinc:
how to get it into "F" and not celcius? for temperature.

ITS REAL NICE for the 109.00 price tag. HOWEVER - not worth much to have GPS, WIFI and BT if it takes to much power to ever turn them on.

Still it's cute to mess with and has a fantastic display. I could easily settle for 50% of the lowest brightness setting to save more battery!?!?!?

At lowest setting it's VERY BRIGHT.

I have a problem int hat I'm in the U.S and can't get it to display "F" only celcius. (temp) and for my personal stats (KG and CM and other metric numbers and I'd prefer feet, inches and lbs.

Any clues?
