Hello XDA, I am updating this post to now reflect that this thread is a development thread versus a general thread.
What is OpenFit?
OpenFit is aimed to be an open source alternative to the Gear Fit Manager (which cannot be run natively on non-samsung devices), with hopes that it will provide most/all of the features provided by the Gear Fit Manager app and possibly even more. That being said, this application is in early development and lacks a lot of features.
What can it do?
Connect to the Gear Fit
Auto Connect
Sync time with the Gear Fit
Toggle 12-Hour/24-Hour clock
Media Controller
Alarm notifications (stock android clock app, cannot dismiss alarm from Gear Fit)
SMS notifications
MMS notifications (does not show mms content)
Weather notifications (currently only english support)
Weather clock style
Phone calls notifications
Reject phone calls (quick reply doesnt work yet)
Find device
Email notifications (does not grab the contents of email, that data is protected)
3rd party apps notifications
Pedometer data
Google Fit Sync
This app was developed using firmware: R350XXU0BOA2
Download from Google Play: Open Fit
How to install:
Download from google play
Run OpenFit application
How to upgrade/downgrade firmware:
Tutorial provided by user: @LilLowEK
Tutorial here
How to debug:
Install and Open CatLog app (Free on google play)
Press Menu key on you phone to bring up the record button
Press record and when prompted for file name, add filter with text 'OpenFit'
Press okay, it will begin to record logs for OpenFit.
Perform the action you are trying to debug (try doing it a few times, this helps me figure out the cause of bug)
When completed, stop the recording by tapping on the CatLog notification.
Email or pm me the logs so I can try fixing the bug

How did I make OpenFit
The first thing i decided to do, was to try to research on how the phone and watch communicated. For this I enabled Bluetooth HCI snoop log in the developer options in the CM rom. This would log all traffic from bluetooth. I factory reset my watch and then connected it with the Gear Fit Manager app. I sent/received a test messages, using custom apps and text messages. I then stopped logging bluetooth traffic, and began inspecting the logs using wireshark. For each new connection after a factory reset of the watch, the Gear Fit Manager checks to see if a Firmware update is available and then sends most of the data to the watch; updated texts, images, predefined text etc. Then shortly after I began seeing the logs for the text messages and custom messages. For text messages, nothing was needed, but for custom messages, the app will send to the watch the image of the app along with some metadata, such that the watch can now receive the custom type message (think facebook messenger). So now that I had a nice data set to work with I tried connecting to the watch using androids BLE connections, but I could not connect successfully with it, and so I tried using the BT RFcomm and that worked (I can try to revisit BLE, now that I have more knowledge). Now that I can connect, I tried sending messages (messages from the BT snoop log), however I didnt have any success with this. I realized on each connection, the watch will require a message as a handshake and to my surprise the message was "ODIN" (Samsung's software to flash firmware). After I sent the "ODIN" message, that watch now acknowledge OpenFit and would accept incoming messages. Shortly after I was able to figure out the protocol for sending messages to the watch specifically, setting time and sending a general message. For each type of message, the packet that is sent is different, which is why it time consuming to figure out how to send a particular message. This is where I currently am in the development, I was only able to get this far by using the BT snoop log in conjunction with a decompiled Gear Fit Manager app which I used as a reference. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.
Hi!
The idea is good, but with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/general/diy-gear-fit-samsung-devices-lollipop-t3004234
I've been able to make it work on my Nexus 5 on Lollipop.
Maybe the real need is a open community that work on official gear fit manager and patch it, or develop a script to auto patch the last release of the apk!
I think that a open source project is a good idea. The original gear fit manager has too many problems and limitations (with non Samsung device).

yes ! i think like this .... make a new app for managing and make connection to non samsung devices please .... think this is a good way ....
hope for the release soon
will follow the thread !!!
This is not a development thread yet, so it's good to keep it here to get some attention.
Once you start to develop something, you should post it in the development section, otherwise it'll be overrun by "general" posts and threads.
Good initiative though!
I would use it, especially if alarms could work. I bought it knowing its limitations with non samsung devices, but nothing has happened so I'm not using the thing as much as I could
Thanks, @NeoS I'll only post in Dev if I can get a connection with the gear working.
Get fitness sensors data from GF
It would be great to have data extracted from the device. For example it would be a good idea to import data into Google Fit application or just store it to an Excel file.
So I vote "yes" for this reverse engineering project. :good:

:good:It would be definitely good for the non-samsung users like me. Hope we can get GT to work with other fitness app as well.
i would to try this app but i need an apk to install it on my device
would love an open source app!!!
Very good idea, I would like to test your .APK in the future.
I would love to see this happen, getting this to do more and open it up and getting more out of it that samsung never planned would be awesome!!:good:
Sorry guys, I'll try to resume working on this.
Hey guys, thanks for all the positive feedback. sorry I havent worked on the app for a long time, I stopped at when trying to learn how to connect to the device, and then got very busy as I am working on multiple projects and work. I'll try to figure out how to connect to the device via this app. I'll also try to update to the latest firmware to see if anything has changed or become easier. I would be more than willing to accept anyone who would like to help out. :good:
I am also using strava app alot, and google fit, and would love to see if i can get metrics from the device and use it to sync with google fit
Galaxy Tab tester
This is a great idea!
I would love to sync my Gear Fit with my Galaxy Tab 4 using an app that works. Gear Fit pairs with the Tab, but the data won't sync, even though Samsung apparently included the Tab as a compatible device...
I've had limited success with the EndoMondo app, but EndoMondo doesn't seem to pull any data from Gear Fit's native software. I also saw a Youtube video that mentioned the 'Lose It' app worked with Gear Fit, but I did not have any success there either...
Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Cheers,

I'd like to help in anyway I can. I use a Nexus 5 and a Gear Fit. and have access to a Stock Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I don't know Java, but I do know some C++, and QML. Are you only planning on re-implementing the Gear Fit Manager? Or are you thinking about maybe working on more the fitness features side? Or both? PM me if you want to work together on this, I'm generally pretty good at figuring things out. I remember I looked into the Fitness with Gear side more than the Gear Fit Manager Side, rather than the Gear Fit Manager side. It might be interesting to look at libpebble, since Hexxeh basically did what we need to do except for a different device. I think it'd be nice to try to write an app in such a way it's easily portable to other platforms. (I personally really like sailfish...)
Unfortunately I also work, and am generally pretty tired by the end of the day.
Thanks, Core2idiot
thanks @Core2idiot, I left off on actually trying to make a connection with the device. Like you said, Its hard getting started once you've gotten stuck. But i'll try my best to get back on it
Sorry

Sorry I'm new... but just to be sure... is possible use Aerlink: Wear Connect for iOS on Gear Fit with any pc program. Or use Ble Utility for connect it on iPhone? Because when I try the App always disconnects.
@becket As far as my testings, you cannot connect to the Gear Fit, using any of the tools on the market such as BLE testers. I think I am "near" getting the connection paired. When you first connect your device, is shows your a security pin, both on phone and on watch. I am what I think close to figuring out how to do that. I have a bunch of decompiled files Im looking trough so its not fun. But hopefully I can figure it out.
I think I successfully connected(paired) with the device. I was trying to do it with Bluetooth low energy, but turns out, The first time needs to be done with the old Bluetooth protocol! I have yet to still find out how to convince the gear fit that i am gear fit manager so it can begin operating.

I have written an app called TouchRC to enable me to control my windows media center (vista and windows 7) from my phone.
Download link and screenshots can be found on the codeplex site here.
I will try and pad this post out a bit more as soon as i get decent amount of time to do it!

Nice! Too bad I have Media Center 2005 or I would love this.
i will try it
i cant get the wmcontroller app to work in WIndows 7 RC'
does anyone knows what to do
I tried to get this potentially great software to work with Vista Premium incl. TV Pack but whenever I start VMC I get an error message 'can't load...' :-(
Any help is most welcome.
what are the limitations of this software, evorgevol?
specifically the following 4:
- what type of connection(s) does it use to connect to VMC/w7MC (wifi only, or bt optional)?
- is it intelligent enough to work with VMC plugin's? (my movies, MCEweather, daemon tools etc)
- is this a complete replacement for an MCE remote - ie, could i remove the IR-transmitter/reciever?
- is it intelligent enough to realise what menu it is in, and filter out un-used options (ie: 'channel change' and 'record' would be removed if in pictures/dvd area)?

It connects over TCP/IP, so it would have to be connected to your local area network.
This is only really a simple program that interacts with the VmcContoller application, so can only do reasonably basic stuff. I have added functionality to so that it can use the MyMovies application metadata, though most of this is still in progress.
It depends on what you use your remote for as to whether this can be a complete replacement. I currently dont have, and have no intentions in the near future of, having a number/keyboard pad. So if you use these a lot, then it probably won't be a full replacement.
I had planned to make the now playing screen a bit more wise about what type of media is playing, and display different icons accordingly, but this has been marked as more a of a 'nice to have' in the application which i might work on in the future, but have other things I'd rather get working first.
Hope that answers some of your queries...
evorgevol
indeed they all are 'nice-ities', and it wont stop me considering playing with your app.
thanks for answers
Unfortunately, the media center network controller software can not be installed on a Vista X64 pc. I would really like to use this app on my mobile device!
Regards,

Man this is absolutely awesome!!!
I don't have a MS MediaCenter solution but MythTV, so I wanted to do the same app like you did but for MythTV quite a while.... I already gave up in searching a usable GUI framework like your Fluidity and started writing my own (Which took basically up all my time so far - that's why there is not even an app yet ... But your solution kicks the living sh**t out my little approach.
Is it ok if I borrow up the framework and perhaps some junks of code from your app??? I don't think I'd get it done better if I would try myself, so it would be nice if I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. I will of course list you in the credits page of the app.
I spend some hours browsing through your code and I think I got almost through in understanding how the controls basically work. The only thing I miss is the complete overview of how the binding to the actual data is done. The idea with the Templates for the single Items is pretty neat and makes it extremly flexible!

Thanks for reminding me... I forgot to give the original author credit!!! The control framework I use on TouchRC is called Fluid controls, and it's on codeplex here.
I will update my codeplex to give him the credit he deserves, I certainly wouldnt have been able to do any of my app without it!!
Just for thought though, if you create a TCP/IP server for your app, and use the same receive commands as VmcController, then you should just be able to use my app entirely! Or, if you do make it different, and you want me to, I can add your commands to my app too, so that the user would be able to control both windows and myth from the same application!
Thanks,

Can you load up the http server for vmc? (ie, on a diff computer, go to http://hostpc:40510) and see if that works? if it doesn't, then it probably means that VmcController isn't working properly. If this is the case, then revert to the codeplex site of VmcController to ask for help.
Thanks,

Ah, I saw the codeplex page but I somehow thought you guys were the same
Thanks a lot for the offer, but I plan to build a 'richer' remote client for MythTV. Means, besides a remote control function I want to be able to browse the Program Guide, Recordings, Movies, Music, Pictures on the phone and select them to play on the PC/TV.
And I have some other ideas which would be pretty neat, but for now I am already happy if I get the above items finished. (technically thats usually no prob, but once you solved all the tiny little problems and know how to code the whole thing it often gets boring )

Good to know. I'am going to keep a close eye on your project
Hey evorgevol,
any updates on the app yet?
I now have the basic server + client API done so far for my project. I hope I'll reach the alpha state up to your level within the next 1 or 2 months... Then it should really go quick...
Greetz,

I've been stupidly busy recently, so haven't had any chance to work on it for a while. I'm hoping that will change next month. I have made some minor updates to it (but not checked it in), but won't be making another release for a couple of weeks yet. Hopefully soon though!!! How's yours coming along?
This project has been put on hold indefinitely. You will NOT be able to connect to the service.
Hi.
Shake2Send is an application I made that allows two devices to pair and send contacts over the air.
To pair, the two devices shake at the same time (Similar to Bump for the iPhone). No bluetooth needed!
You can send contacts, as well as files.
Pictures will be displayed automatically, and CABs will auto install.
Version 1.0.1 released!
Instructions
Download the CAB.
Install.
Enter a name (Be unique for each device!)
Press Connect, and then shake both devices at the same time (Or within ~1 second).
When paired, Press Send and select a contact or file.
Known Issues
1. File sending is slow, try not to send big files (yet.)
2. Possible connection problem... still not sure on the details.
...More when I get more feedback
Changes
Latest version: 1.0.1
Better Auto connection
Bug fixes.
Better error messages
Some new artwork (not that different...)
Some internal code changes (Dynamic DNS, etc)
Better CAB File.
--0.61 Bug fix. Not an actual release.
0.6 Changes:
-Bug fixes, including the sending error.
-Some UI fixes and improvements
-Instructions picture
-File sending!
-Support for displaying pictures, and for auto-installing CABs.
Upcoming Features
1. Advanced options
2. Better looking UI
3. Auto-connect

Notes
1. You CAN use this app on non-gsensor devices. You will need to press Pair instead, and uncheck Use G-Sensor on the connect screen.
2. You will need .NET Compact Framework 3.5 in order to use this app.
3. If you want to host a private server for yourself (or prehaps a group of people), you still can download the server here:
http://windowsphonehacker.jaxbot.com/files/shake2send_server.php
But you will not receive automatic updates.
Download
Version 1.0.1 CAB: http://windowsphonehacker.com/shake2send/
Enjoy, and give me feedback!
If you like this, and want to see more changes, please Donate!
Neat app. Hope this helps you to get some more testers and keep development going http://www.fuzemobility.com/shake2send-bump-like-app-for-windows-mobile/

Thanks for the mention! As for that bug you mentioned, I'll check it out.
very cool
downloaded the .cab. only problem- none of my friends have have smartphones. so when i get to test i will let you know. watched your video though- very cool.
thanks for your hard work.
I am guessing both the device has to be on the same WiFi .. is that true ?
UPDATE : Guess not, if using the public server
Another Question : How will the app handle if there are 2 different people with the same name using the public server @ the same time ?
Great stuff none the less have given it some press on 1800PocketPC

If you WANT (paranoid I suppose), you can connect to a private server, but otherwise, the public server runs fine.
If there are two people with the same name on the public server at the same time... Hm, I actually think this might cause an issue, because the names are important in identifying devices. I'll have the server make sure no one chooses a taken name and patch it on my end
Thanks for the listing!
Duplicate names should be fixed now!
The server simply changes the internal name of a conflicting client and adds a _1 to it.
The "Me" label will display the same name (until next build), but when pairing it will include the _1.
All the technical stuff aside, the problem is fixed serverside.
New Version Soon!
Almost done with Photo/file sending, but before I release the new version, I need some more feedback.
You can probably expect it sometime next week
does everyone find this cool app to work easily or are you guys having some issues?? My question is how do you exactly go about using this properly when say you wanna share a contact with someone thats isnt near you and say there at there house and your at yours?? please a little help would be greatly appreciated!!! I'm really excited about this app and the possibilities it posses like sharing photos and files etc!!!!! great work keep it up as im sure with time itll look better an better!!!! WM FOREVER!!
looks great. Cant wait to try this out, as it will make it easier to send contacts/photos/etc back and forth between phones without emailing or MMSing.
Greatly appreciated.

so after installing this on 2 phones and testing, here is what I have encountered.
- the application does not save the username/devicename that you give within the application when signing into the server. Would be awesome to have it auto-connect to your server and save the username/device name
- on first try, works exactly as expected
- on second try, when sending a contact from phone 1 to phone 2, if phone 2 IGNORES the contact, and subsequent contact sent from phone 1 to phone 2 comes across as that initial contact that was ignored. (basically, if you send the wrong contact, and phone 2 ignores it, you cannot send any other contacts to that phone, otherwise it comes across as that initial ignored contact
Best of luck, hope this all helps!!

About the device names, I'm thinking about something along that line, as well as allowing users to manually pair with another user, by entering their name (For long distance transfer).
About that contact thing, strange. I'll look into it and hopefully put it in the next release (which will be soon )
Edit: found the problem. What's really happening is, after you send a contact, the dialog is still returning the same contact (Instead of the selected one). So this bug should happen even if you accept the contact, right?

I don't speak German, so I can't translate it (without Google Translate, which would probably translate poorly), but if someone wants to translate for me, I'll be happy to make a build.
If someone's interested, PM me and I'll send you the strings that need translating.
Also, the English app should work overseas, if I'm not mistaken.
0.6 Released! See first thread for download and details.
I can help you to translate, if is possible

Glad to hear that you released a new version, I've already installed it lol and also that it's got improvements but when you said to be careful about what size cabs to send to each other or it'll crash what size is allowed and in the future will there be a no size limit b/c that would be the right approach KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND TY FOR THIS APP!! Question though, so now w/this latest version we can send stuff to other people that are at far distances and it'll work just fine?? And if so do we have to use it with the server on our PC'S to do so or is it easier to do then that if say were not at our houses???

About the file size: The current limit is 10mb. I probably won't set it any higher, because when the file limit is 10mb, the application is literally taking up 10mb of RAM, which is a lot for a handheld device.
You will not need the private server, unless you do not want a third party server handling connections (The server does not store anything, not even connection logs), but some people are paranoid, which is fine.
To send far distances, just click Pair->Manual Pair, and enter your friends username. Then have you friend do the same, but for you username. The two devices will pair OTA and allow file/contact sending.

Is there anything your looking to add to this app in the future feature wise? when will it be finalized as a final version? Also when we enter a user name will it stick or do we have to always re-enter it every time we use the app?

If people have suggestions, I'll look into adding them, but for now, bug fixes and improvements are the main concern.
The user name you choose is not permenent, which is why it is random each time. It's just a useful identifier, that at one point will probably be 100% automatic and simply tell the user his/her ID.

it is worth to try, bause i am working with a lot of IPcam stuff for hospitals on child stations. Will report back here.
I was looking for something like this a while back, will give it a try as it should save taking a web-cam away on business.
Will try out and let you know. First thing, would prefer cab install option if possible I know there are client drivers needed for windows side too I guess).
Noticed that the video overlay for the camera does not go when the program is closed. So far I've not been able to connect, but this is probably due to my network config at the moment (so will retry later).
I remember using this looong ago when I had my HTC Mogul... those were the days
how do i connect this to my server? i have set the ip adress and it cannot connect

I think you connect via the webcam driver settings. i.e. VLC
Media -> Open Capture Device
Select Video device name - it should be in the list
Configure - Will open if the device is present and you should be able to press connect. You might see it pop up a message on your device when you do (too quick to read - i guess connecting etc).
Hopefully you'll get the images coming through (I get coloured striped display but that is probably due to the network I'm currently on has proxies etc).
I tried to use it on my HTC HD2 running Artemis 58 with radio 2.15......
I cannot seem to connect it to my computer via WiFi. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
Have tried this on my HTC-HD2 and it say register to use free period is over.
Any other solution?
Cheers!
Is this the same as this?

I've had success using it previously on my Blackjack II (WinMo 6.0). And I've tried to run it on my hTc Pure (WinMo 6.5), but it keeps freezing up.
so it is now pay ware so far we can see. For this there is a special forum thread. Possible the admin can move it to there...
But there is the other solution from rc colonel - RC Camera (Link). I working with that a very long time.

I use it a very long time now for parents who's childs are in a hospital. We have installed some axis ptz cams (4x) in a hospital near my home city (~ 20 KM). We advise this to the parents for the mobile device or via a website on the PC. I have informed rccolonel some time ago to have a special version, but i think he is no longer online or busy with android. So i hope he will read this .
BTW:
in my free time i am working in a special community for this kind of stuff (paper, color pens, toys, hospital clowns, and...and...and...).

rc-camera differs to this app since it's for using an ip-camera and the phone as a monitor, where this one attempts to use the phone's camera as the web-cam. I like the idea, but so far it doesn't work the way I've tried it (clearly it's not trivial thing to code).
BTW:
Well (to be slightly off topic here) I'll let you know if I get on with an Android app I have planned which will be suitable for children reading, might end up being of use. Can't get a better cause than that to be involved with!
cant seem to get it working
i installed the cab and that automatically installed it on my phone (omnia i900) when i open the app on my phone it displays the camera, but when i tap the "start" button it kinda freezes, the little rotating icon ippear and its like "thinking" but it never really conects, right now am using "mobiola web camera" and it does work but i dont like the output quality of it, the resolution and quality es too low, so i tought id try this put, but nope, nothing.
could i be doing something worong?... oh by the way, am using this on windows 7 x64.

This app works great man. Is there any setting to make it autosync anything you make?
I tried evernote long ago but didn't find it much use since there was no winmo app. Any tips or tricks?
wow, great app, works great on the hd2. waiting for the voice notes to be functional. some suggestions: feature to send notes through bluetooth and more color schemes

There are 3 votes for autosync so far, which does not quite bring it to the top of my to-do pile, but you can help to change that.

Evernote has a WinMo app, but it is pretty bare-bones and has not been supported for a long time.

I'm not sure what you mean by sending notes through bluetooth. Would you elaborate?
Adding more colour schemes is unlikely. The app currently includes two versions of the interface, one for high-resolution displays and one for the low. With more variants of each, it could quickly become unmaintainable. I can't change the background colour programmatically either, because it is baked into the graphics. They are all dithered for 16-bit colour, and dithering is incompatible with transparency.

It's simply you can send the notes you have to another device, say to another phone or pc, using bluetooth.

The thing I wonder about is what to do with the note on the receiving end. Official Evernote clients cannot properly transfer notes outside of synchronization. Exporting to HTML is possible, but would raise the question of what to do with file attachments.
Of course, if you can connect to internet through Bluetooth, then you can simply sync.

Yeah i remember trying it out specifically because they had one, but it was terrible. Yours works great on my htc touch pro 2 though, so thanks
Perfect timing: I just started trying out Evernote this week and wasn't really keen on Evernote's own application because it's useless offline. And here comes your app and looks great.
I got one problem, though: It refuses to connect via wifi. No problem at all via 3G, but on WiFi it steadily shows "connecting".
Oh, and being able to create new tags would be a good addition.

Thanks for complimenting the app. I have not used WiFi in a while, but will try to reproduce your problem.
Started a new work item for tag creation: http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/workitem/1005.
Voting on feature requests gets them implemented sooner.
Since restarting my phone a few times, the app doesn't hang up while trying to connect via WiFi anymore - it just takes way longer than via 3G for some reason, but it's usable.
Edit: Forget about the described problem. I'm sure it was a generally lagging WiFi connectivity that day. It works like a charm in other WiFi networks and now at the same one, too.
I apologize for taking so long to release a new version — just did not have much time to spare. Version 0.38 implements one of the most-requested features, letting you choose "All Notebooks" to browse, search, and sync all your notebooks together.
http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/releases/view/83479
Great App!
Great App! Working on my old Axim X51V!
I see on your website that you have Notes popping up with a timed alarm reminder as low priority. Let me put in a vote for higher priority.
I would use it as a timed "sticky note" to myself to do something.
Keep up the good work!
Just released version 0.39, making it possible to delete notes from the main note list screen via a tap-and-hold menu.
http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/releases/view/84127
Version 0.40 adds an option to compact the database from the profile screen. Compacting a database can make it smaller and faster by removing empty spaces left over by editing, moving, and deleting notes.

cant log in
It must be just me; since nobody else has mentionned it; but I cannot log in to evernote at all on my HD2. On 3G it immediately comes back with network error (never even tries to open a data connection). On wifi it seems to be trying to do something in the background but after a few minutes to just goes back to the login screen.
Any ideas??

It sounds like the WiFi connection is slow and times out. With 3G, try to establish a data connection first, such as by opening a web browser. I just created a work item for this: workitem:1055.
0.41 release
After a temporary break, development continues. Version 0.41 adds some more polish to the user interface, as well as a new in-app player for WAV file attachments.

This program is making all the right steps in all the right directions, it has great prospects.
There are some features that Evernote has that I hope would arrive in this software in the not-too-distant future. I make more handwritten notes that any other form of note taking, and what I find with 'PeoplesNote' is that the 'Ink Note' feature is just a one page scribble pad without any option to scroll or add a page. It would be fantastic if the Ink Note feature of PeoplesNote could automatically scroll as the old Windows Note does as you approach the bottom of the page. Evernote's Ink Note recognises that you are reaching the bottom of the page and facilitates extra space to scroll into. Additionally, it would be very helpful to have an erase feature with Ink Note.
Please don't take this as criticism, I can see this app being extremely useful for as long as Evernote allow you to develop it.
Hi guys I have received my new Ticwatch S and it's really awesome but the sports tracking app is not.
I managed to install Polarflow app from my old Polar M600 and it works really well (sensor, GPS and also syncronization with phone) I think this is the best sports tracking app for AW but layout is totally wrong cause M600 has a square screen and Ticwatch a round one (see attached photo).
Is it possible to modify the app layout to fit the round screen?
I've found this but I have no experience with development and coding: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/ui/layouts.html
Thanks anyone will try to do it!

Does Polar Flow on your watch (Ticwatch S) count the number of steps? shows on the watchfase?
I have been digging in to this as I have both a M600 and a Huwaei Watch 2 and would love to use the Watch 2 due to its round screen, now although the app installs and appears to "sync" with Polar Flow on the wwatch 2 it does not appear to be working correctly, if you look in the Polar Flow app on your mobile it will not look right as it has a randomly generated device ID and fields are missing, the data will also not appear in the "my day" section of the app on the watch. I believe that Polar are locking their app down so that it will only use the Device ID that has been allocated by Polar, this is the same as you will see with other Polar devices i.e. Polar Balance, they each have their own unique 8 character ID which on the M600 can be found on the top right handside of the back of the device. I am trying to dig in to where it is getting this ID from internally as it is not the devices serial number that is also on the back of the device as well and the device ID cannot be found anywhere in the "about" screen of the device so I suspect it is a unique property stored somewhere in flash.
If I can determine how to get this device ID and it can be rewritten then I want to try and clone my genuine M600 ID on to the Huwaei and see if that resolves the sync issues, if it does and things start working fine then I will look at the app itself as I have already decompiled its code and think we just need to play with the layout XML to adjust so that it centres the window on screen on a circular watch. An idea I have had is that if the device ID idea sorts the sync issues out and things start to work, it may be possible to use the device ID of any Polar Flow compatible devices, i.e. the cheapest device! if you forge that ID in to your watch then install flow I am hoping it syncs and works, not perfect but at least you can pick your favourite Android wear watch and a cheap polar device or if your moving from another polar device you simply take its ID and stop using the old device.
I am currently trying to root the device but for some reason althoguh I got a TWRP backup of the device once my fastboot won't recognise the M600 anymore so I can't do much digging as I wanted to try and root it so I could carry on looking for this device ID in its properties.
Edit: Scratch that I have found the device ID, it is the last 8 digits of the Android serial number found in the about screen not sure how I missed that! So now I am going to see if you can change the serial number of an Huwaei Watch 2 to the same as my M600 and see if that resolves.
Wow James this sounds cool! Do you have any news about that? For me the step counter is not very important so also without that function is ok for me, I use only sports tracking that is really good and syncronize with polar flow. Let me know if you can modify the layout, that would be Perfect!
Hi guys,
Any progress on this?
I also just installed the Polar Flow apk on my Misfit Vapor and it is working for tracking the workout sessions, but the screen format is annoying.
Any idea on how to change the layout format to have it compatible with round watches?
Well I managed to create an Xposed app that reconfigured my Huwaei watch to all of the M600 values from my genuine M600, for example serial number, hardware ID even the Android version number etc... when you looked in the watches about screen it looked like my M600 did and when I paired it up with Polar Flow it also showed everything like my genuine M600 such as device ID etc... but still no joy getting it to sync step data either in the phone app or the watches app. I have not had much time to work on it recently but I am wondering if this is a hardware issue, when you look at the API there is an ability to list and select the accelerometer device it is using so I was going to try and find this in my reverse engineered APK and then was hoping it was trying to find something in the MTK based device that was incorrect, in that case I was going to swap out the Polar method/class with my own version by hooking it on the fly in my Xposed app and adjusting it to the Huwaei accelerometer and hopefully that would fix it.
On the other hand, I did notice that even by just installing the Polar flow APK on my watch that if you did a workout for example it still synced, so as fooling the app with the M600 settings did not help sync, it gives me a little hope that you would not need a genuine M600/Polar device ID to be able to use the app so that is good at least.

For me steps counter is not that important, I only need the polar app with the right layout to fit a circle display so I can use it for my trainings, I think it's the best app for monitoring sports and is very full of options but with this wrong layout I can't stop the run easily and numbers are cutted.
Yes but without the accelerometer information you will notice that the majority of metrics are missing in the Polar App, you won't give information such as your calorie fat burn % for example, the "recovery" state from your workout won't work either which to me is a major reason to workout using Polar instead of other tools such as Endomondo as knowing if you are training within the right zones recovery wise is very important i.e. you are not going to do a HIIT workout when you are at the top of the extremely strained section! Most of these features appear to be disabled without a full sync, we need the "my day" function working properly so that all of the data is available to flow otherwise the Polar app is a bit worthless in a way and so is the web site.
I wanted to get the app working before I started using Xposed to start overriding layout parameters, it is also better to do this in the Xposed app as hopefully if Polar update the app my modifications will carry on working.
any news?
