Progress report

Developer mode was an unavailable option. Build number does not show up under Settings, and there is no "About..." for this watch. What little information there was, did not offer any build or development option no matter how many times I tapped at anything.

Then I realized I was working with a stripped down version of Settings app for 8.1.

Google to the rescue finding an old Settings 8.1 apk I downloaded onto watch and installed.

Ran it and able to scroll to About > Build ... and did my tapping to enable Developing Mode.

All for not, since when I searched, although I could toggle Debugging usb, such did not exist for wifi debugging.

Alas, I am stuck needing to find that correct sized 4-pin USB charger & data cable.

Aside: A member from this very thread shared files were of immense assistance. The shared version of Google Assistant replaced the default, defunct GoogleGo is of great value. I can use now Google Assistant as I had on my Oppo running WearOS 2. before Google deprecated that.

The two biggest losses wearing a second phone on the wrist, in essence that is what I have, is I do not have media control over my phone -- in the pocket, and replying to text messages by voice or typing would cause confusing coming from a different phone number.

My first workaround is text forwarding. Using Tasker, I am able to forward texts I receive to my watch's phone via Google Voice. The advantage is most know my Google voice number even though I do not use that one.

At present I am working on replacing Notifications which my adopted 3rd party apps do not have access to; my going idea is using Tasker to flash (literally fast showing not rom flashing) or display alerts and messages.

Same purchase made today, the cable should arrive on Monday. In addition to Fitbit, the same cable can also be used for Google Watch 2. This makes me think that it is not a proprietary cable and that, most likely, the sensors that are installed in our watches are part of the same batch as Fitbit and Google ( the position in which the sensors are mounted appear identical to the cm).
[Other SmartWatches] Otuics:
Thank you for updating us. My question is: once you manage to connect via cable to adb, can you intervene on the android rom without enabling developer mode? And above all the various sensors, which currently don't work for me except with their own proprietary apps, can they still be used once a clean Android ROM has been inserted or will they be lost completely? Is it also possible that in years of customized Android devices, they have managed to create a system that is impossible to modify? It has now become a personal challenge for me, I hope that some programmer who understands more will come to our aid and give us a definitive guide. We can't give up.

Install and check the app named “Momo”

If it shows “SELinux is permissive” or “Seccomp is disabled” means you can use the setprop shell command to enable WiFi ADBView attachment 6052681
[Other SmartWatches] Mozhuyi🍥:
Power off device and connect to PC, then long press Power Button and Wheel key on the right (Except for CDS9)

It will enter Spreadtrum Download Mode (like Qualcomm 9008 QDL Mode) Windows Device Manager will shows a COM port device “SPRD U2S DIAG” , and it will auto reboot if do nothing for more than 5s

You can use TFT Unlock Tool to unlock bootloader, backup the original partition images or flash new GSI ROM images , and also pay attention to Android VBMETA verification!!!

Hello everyone, I have a serious problem, after the device spontaneously overheated, the touchscreen stopped working, rebooting and resetting the settings did not help. I decided to remove the touchscreen to find out its model. But I was surprised on aliexpress there are no such screens, I wrote to 20 sellers and they said that they don’t sell this. I have the screen model numbers but I can’t find anything by this number, tell me what should I do?
[Other SmartWatches] Lorenz1969:
Hi, mine has the problem that after a while the vibration no longer works, I would like to solve it
[Other SmartWatches] Lorenz1969:
Hi, after downloading TFT Unlock I followed your instructions but by pressing the two buttons at the same time nothing happens and it restarts, maybe I'm missing something, thank you for your help
[Other SmartWatches] Mozhuyi🍥:
Yes, this is normal

When S21/S26/DW88/DW98 enter Download Mode, two green LED on the back of the device will light up

In the Download mode, device will auto reboot if you do nothing for more than 5s, you must start some operations like Readback,Unlock Bootloader or Flash Images

You can check Windows Device Manager , if you cannot see the “SPRD U2S DIAG” COM port device and it shows an unknown device means you must install Spreadtrum U2S driver first

you are very kind I think my x8 ultra model is different from yours (can you tell me what model yours is?) it doesn't see me with drivers where I can download them is there a command to restart in download mode?

using tft tool with adb command I go to download mode but I can't issue any commands
[Other SmartWatches] Lorenz1969:
yes dowload mode but TFTUnlock it has display problems and it won't let me do anything I can use something else
[Other SmartWatches] Mozhuyi🍥:
The Unlocktool version is too old, and it looks like a old crack version?

You must use the latest version and select Brand SPRD GENERIC

Using Tasker toa Google Drive to send Notifications to Watch

Here is how.

Use Tasker's AutoNotification to intercept selected incoming notifications.

Use Tasker to read, collect the data via default variables e.g. text title, Meetup message board content

Then create a document, using Tasker, of course, that contains the interested stripped down information.

Save to a Google Drive folder.

On the watch, use Tasker to keep monitor on that folder.

When a new file is uploaded, have Tasker (on the watch) flash or display the contents of the text file.

Then delete so as not to repeat the same message.

Alternative to deleting is renaming the file in such a way that will not be noticed again by Tasker on the watch for when looking for "new" notifications.

Two points:

• My watching is on limited data so I do not like the idea of Tasker always needing to check on the off chance of receiving an uploaded notification.

• Creates clutter on Google Drive. Although trash can be emptied, requires dutiful attention in doing so.
[Other SmartWatches] Lorenz1969:
nothing to do I can't connect with my x8 tft tool doesn't see it, I decided to buy the same model as you, you managed to do the bkup you have the .pac file available?

I have s9 ultra 4G and 4 pin cable but don't know how to enable developer option to root.

Try all adb command but did not work.

Also TFTunlock can't do anything

Anyone here can turn developer option on s8/x8/dw89/s9 ultra?

[Other SmartWatches] Raider9x:
I did this. Is there any way to root after turn on usb debug and connect to pc?
[Other SmartWatches] Lorenz1969:
What do you plan to do with root? it would be important to be able to install alternative firmware, unfortunately I'm inexperienced, I think Mozhuyi🍥 is capable but he doesn't respond
[Other SmartWatches] Raider9x:
I think if root i can lower CPU hz to increase battery duration, reduce temp, maybe somethings else more. My TFTunlock show same as you so i can't use unlock bootloader like Mozhuyi
[Other SmartWatches] Lorenz1969:
But have you tried I don't have the same model I have x8 ultra what model do you have? tft should work fine too
[Other SmartWatches] Lorenz1969:
The dw89 model finally arrived but in the firmware that is installed I was unable to enable USB debugging in any way can you give me some advice thank you very much the option is not present in the enginered menu
[Other SmartWatches] she1don:
You can access Engineering Mode dialing in the secret code shared in a previous post, something like #*#*8 . . .

Otherwise, I was able to access Developer mode the usual way by tapping the build number. What I did is downloaded via my phone Android Settings apk for OS 8.1. (Oreo) there are a few about. Send either share via bluetooth from phone to watch OR upload from my phone to my cloud drive (Google drive) and downloaded onto the watch.

Install the Settings apk and the fuller version gives you access to the About Phone section, including the Build Number. Tap away.

Let me ask you, where did you find the correct 4-pin cable for your watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Raider9x:
can you share the apk file? I try some apk on the internet but my s9 say can't install even it run 8.1 . Im using s9 ultra 5g version 180 degree rotating camera

[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
On my watch when I try to install the old Android settings by Google it says that do you want to update it (means it's already installed) and when I update it says app not installed. Similarly when I launch it from shortcut maker (com.android.settings) it opens the watch settings menu so there isn't any way I can open dev options? I have tk6 ultra

[Other SmartWatches] verycoolus:
I have tried rooting the watch but no success. Here is what I have done so far

1) Activated the Engineer Mode by In calling type *#*#83781#*#*

2) Enable USB Debugging

3) In adb, I ran the command "adb shell settings put global development_settings_enabled 1"

4) In adb, I ran the command "adb shell settings put global oem_unlock_enable 1"

5) adb reboot bootloader

6) fastboot devices. My device appeared. Ok

7) fastboot oem unlock <== this is where the command fail

FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed
[Other SmartWatches] verycoolus:
I did not have the 4 pins neither but I modified the stock 2 pin charger cable.

First, I cut open the cable and pry open the pin and solder them.

Guess what, the current 2 pin charger plastic plate does have 2 other insertion points for pogo pins if you open it. I drilled holes at those positions.

I have some pogo pins from other damaged watches and i took those and inserted and solder them. If you do not have any pogo pins, you can just strip a generous amount of wire and coil them together to make good contacts.

I will upload some photos when im back later. Uploaded attached.
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Brother, here's where you are wrong. First of all these watches are unisoc base so they do not have the default method to unlock bootloader. You have to find methods specifically for unlocking the bootloader for unisoc devices

[Other SmartWatches] she1don:
Question: Do you know available software where I can do what you suggest?

I did not say I could unlock bootloader. All I know, that is what I must do before I can root the watch.

Before I can do that, I need a 4-pin circular charger pad.

Some one suggested a way for me to hack it. Even that requires some available items, which at the jump I do not have. I must wait on that.

The root problem (pun intended) is altering the configured Android Go 8.1 to allow Notifications Access.

Share your step-by-step process for granting Notification Access without ever using USB connection.
[Other SmartWatches] she1don:
Real kicker...

Just this morning, we received an AMBER Alert. Guess what? You guessed it, I received and was able to read the full AMBER Alert notification.

Now, if there were some way to hack that to grant other 3rd party apps of my choosing to make the same notification . . . . hmmm...????
[Other SmartWatches] mhd 12:
how did u do it ???
[Other SmartWatches] mhd 12:
i could've unlock the bl using unlocktool actually
[Other SmartWatches] mhd 12:

[Other SmartWatches] mhd 12:
Did u

install magisk with twrp ?
[Other SmartWatches] mhd 12:
Hey well if u have at least one 4 pin cable u can just cut the wire and modify it to work with ur watch and that’s what i did actually and it works like sharm
[Other SmartWatches] mhd 12:
after many attempts i enabled developer options without access to settings without tapping build number and without new settings app , am gonna post how i did it , but remember you going to need a 4 pin cable for this , and you have like 10 or 15 seconds to do it .

- first restore the watch to factory and delete everything ,

- you will see that screen showing erasing then the watch going to boot up

- right after it boot up before the screen telling you to put sim appear , enable usb debug with the code *#*#83781#*#*

-plug directly the watch to pc u'll notice in the statue bar a notification one that says usb debugging enabled and another saying setting up android ( u have to do everything before setting up android finishes )

- click on USB debugging notification, it will open developer option menu

- you will see a toggle showing developer option enabled , disable it and re-enable it , now u'll have access to developer options menu from any settings shortcut without any problem

remember you have to do everything quickly because right after it finishes setting up android and the sim window show up developer options wil just quit and ask you to enable it if u don't do all these steps
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Wait, btw since you have unlocked bootloader, u can try apps like king root, kingoroot, iroot etc and update us if they work

I followed this guide from hovatek and managed to get to the fastboot unlock bootloader confirmation dialog.

How to unlock Unisoc (SPD) bootloader using Identifier Token

This tutorial will explain how to unlock a Unisoc / Spreadtrum (SPD) Android device's bootloader using its Identifier Token. This guide is ideal for those who had tried the generic fastboot bootloader

But since CDS9 doesnt have any volume button. I cannot proceed further.
[Other SmartWatches] verycoolus:
what is this unlocktool? mind sharing?
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Interesting, there must be another way around. Only if the volume button was there we could have had custom roms :(
[Other SmartWatches] verycoolus:
Well well well. Look what i found..

SPD Flash Tool - Official SPD/Unisoc Flash Tool

Download the SPD Flash Tool, which enables you to flash or install .pac firmware (ROM) on devices powered by Spreadtrum/Unisoc chipsets.

[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Yeah we already know that, that's the only way to flash a firmware on your watch. But unlocking bootloader is very important in order to remove bloatware etc
[Other SmartWatches] verycoolus:
I see. Is there a way to modify the ROM? Then we can remove any unwanted APK. Not sure if it works like this

TL;DR : Abating old, seek adopting app

Change in plan. No longer am I obsessing over Notification access for third party apps.

The other day I realized the double notification problem I had when wearing my Oppo watch. Great idea in concept but annoying and disruptive in practice. I noticed when running Discord on my watch looking for the notifications, I experienced the same alerts on both phone and watch. Unnecessary although sometimes urgent.

Fixed it by using Tasker's AutoNotification Intercept.

My new obsession is finding a way to push an image from phone to watch.

I have done a preliminary search of apps that share image from one phone to another but there is some hiccup when watch accepts incoming from bluetooth, requires me to accept.

The basic objective is for certain notifications, received on phone, I want either to push to my watch or share the attached image to my watch.
[Other SmartWatches] she1don:
Question/advice:

I am searching for a quick fix to wallpaper and reading time.

I have particular wallpaper I want to use, as we all do, but sometimes the background clashes with the uniform color font thus unable to read the time and date.

Other than going through each and every wallpaper to pick out which are compatible with the font color, does there exists some app that adjusts the font color depending upon the background/wallpaper color?

Thanks.

My problem with the default virtual keyboard is the lack of horizontal arrows to choose the exact point between two letters to fix typo or add a word. My finger doesn't have good precision.

The problem with most alternate keyboards is that they assume I'm writing in English, but I need support to my local language. And it is good if the keyboard has the ability to learn my writing patterns.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I believe that there are options that make the volume buttons move the cursor forward/backward when typing.

As for language, there should be an option in your keyboard settings that let you choose other languages and other keyboard layouts other than QWERTY.

As the title reads: how does the glyph composer control the glyph interface? In the beginning it was quickly discovered how to control the glyph interface on a rooted device. However, now an application (glyph composer) is able to control the glyph interface without root which proves that there is an somewhat open API for the glyph already.

I have tried to decompile the glyph composer to figure out if it is possible to create an application with similar behavior (controlling the glyph) but without luck. I did see some permissions to write to settings but I have no clue if it actually has anything to do with the glyph interface or not.

My question: Do anyone know how the glyph composer works that can help me find out how I can create an application which can control the glyph interface?
