Could you please specify the way "how"?
Since GF don't sync with non-Samsung phones (but works with other Android - almost all, but no data sync) this question is very important.
Thanks a lot for future answer.

I dont think there is a way to get the data from gear fit manager app. I did quick trails yesterday, you may be able to get Heart rate data, but i havent looked at the raw packets. I have plan to add this feature in my app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/themes-apps/openfit-source-gear-fit-application-t3005697

This is absolutely good news, jareddlc!
If you add this and little more other functions, Open Fit will be better than official GMF.
Can you try to find the way to export other data too?
Thank you for your work, man

[Q] Is there anyone hacking gear fit?

Hi,
Since Samsung is not interested in open Gear Fit data to non-samsung device, even after install apks from Samsung device, I still cannot sync or store my fitness history on my nexus 5. So, I'm not talking about sideload apk to non-Samsung device here.
Gear Fit is just a bluetooth device, if we can understand the communication protocol between Samsung app and Gear Fit, we can create our own fitness app, and sync the data to anywhere we like, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. And maybe we can utilize the protocol to do something further than original Samsung apps. And it will also be possible to connect the latest Google Fit service.
Is there anyone hacking this Gear Fit device?
Gear Fit is not interesting device for devs and nobody is working on this device, because at the first place Gear Fit has only RealTime-OS which in not Android. And you can't do very much with it.
If you want to make app just read thread about Gear Fit SDK.
Hi i know this is old post but i anyone still searching it may be helpful.
i am using openfit app which can sync goolge fit data and other features like original gear fir manager.
so i can use my gear fit with my asus zenfone 2, easyly sync and track fitness data with google fit
I don't know if the same solution of gear fit2 fits to gear fit, but is extremely simple to connect the gear fit2 to a Non-Samsung phone.
You must download APK from Google Play (there are some service around) and install them:
- Samsung Gear
- Samsung Gear Fit2 Plugin
5 minutes and you have the same of a Samsung Phone.
It works like a charm on my Asus Zenfone 2.
Hope it helps

Yes, Gear Fit 2 is made to connect on ALL android phone (like Gear S2 and Gear S3) unlike Gear 1 & 2 & S & Gear Fit (1).

This is wrong. Samsung blocked installation of its programs into non samsung phones. I had to download them manually.

Running apps for Gear S

I'm sure that some of us are runners who chose to get the Gear S so that we don't need to carry a smartphone when we go for a run. I've observed that there is some confusion regarding the fitness/running apps that are available for the Gear S. For example, the Samsung S Health app has a "running" mode that allows you to use the built-in GPS (outdoors) and built-in HR sensor on the Gear S while it's on standalone mode. But, this app won't track your pace when you're running indoor on a treadmill.
The Nike+ app can also use the built-in GPS to provide speed/distance information. The Nike+ app seems to be the only app so far that uses the built-in sensor found in the Gear S to estimate your speed when you're on a treadmill. I can't seem to find a way to calibrate this function. Also, I can't seem to find a way to get the Nike+ app to use the built-in HR monitor when I'm running.
Other apps like MapMyRun and Endomondo are simply "companion" apps that require that you run the app on the phone and the Gear S simply becomes an extension of the screen. Users who expect these apps to run in standalone mode (not paired to phone) will be disappointed.
Why can't we get a standalone running app for the Gear S that uses the built-in GPS (outdoor), the built-in sensor to track pace when you're running on a treadmill, and use the built-in HR sensor? Neither the S Health nor the Nike+ does all of that together.
I have the same question, but I'm trying to Google the resolution since I haven't had any luck with folks responding on this forum. I need to find a user forum for the Gear watch that's friendly do doors like me.

Not sure what you mean, but the OP is more of a statement and not a question. There is no app that does it all. They all have their positives and negatives.
its Sad that theres no running app development. please some tizen dev port any standalone running app
Endomondo has launched standalone app dedicated only for Sony smartwatch ... any hope to port this app to Gear S ?????
Ooops meant to post this in the Trackwatch thread... but liking the Nike+ app as a stand alone recorder...

I'd love this too, are then any awesome devs out there that could make this happen?
Well, the only way that I found was to move Android port, so I can use some apps like My trails. But as it's under development, it has a lot of bugs and some sensors aren't working by now but will do on a close future (hope so) like heart rate monitor and light sensor, but it's still better than Tizen in my opinion.
Samsung no longer will sync to Nike after a run since Nike update. Disappointing

That's messed up. They created such a nice watch with Samsung Milk + Nike Running. Now they consciously destroyed all of this beautiful features ! WHY WHY WHY?

[Q] Endomondo and gear fit

Hi,i just bought this gear fit,it helps me keeping track on my daily activities (on the watch) and stuff like that but i hate that s-health or samsungs fitness app doesn't work on other devices (i have an LG G Flex). Then i found out about endomondo that they support the gear fit so i downloaded the app. After i installed it a new icon on the watch appeared called app connect and endomondo appears there, but when i press it on the phone i get the message Not a Samsung Device or something like that. Has anyone tried this app and can confirm that works with gear fit? Or is it because i have an LG G Flex?
Or does anybody knows any other apps that can make a graph for your activities and can connect to the gear fit?
Thank you.
Endomondo works great with the gear fit. I think Strava used to support it but now does not. I do not have a supported Samsung device but I do have a Samsung phone and I had to change the build.prop file to get it working. I suspect you would have to do the same as in the link below. It may make any LG links unstable however. Copy original build.prop to your PC and if your phone hangs, after modding the file, then push it back using ADB. Good luck.

It works with my ANT+ Garmin Heart rate monitor. It has 3 displays you can customize. See pic.
Hey
Is it possible to use gear fit as instant heart monitor.
To enable working in aerobic area for example.
That means, that gear fit alarms when you are under or above aerobic state, (eg. under 120 hb/s and above 150 hb/s).
Thanx for any kind of help or suggestion.
If you set the Gear fit to track Exercise>Walking or Running, it will show a constant pulse rate but I see no where, app or other that will set HR alarm zones without using HRM, phone and app.

Developing apps for Gear Fit 2?

Is it possible to develop apps or watchfaces and distribute by Samsung store for new Gear Fit 2? Some developer can confirm that or not?
Yes you can. Just need to sign up through the Samsung Tizen developer site and then build the apps/watches faces to the store.

Thanks for your reply. I am curious how to test an app. I bought device Gear Fit 2. I will able to test on device or need some emulator from Tizen developer site?
I have an idea for small quiz app from school time and maybe will be possible to push it to gf2, maybe.

space below music player on gear fit 2 drop down menu
The Gear Fit 2 drop down menu has an empty rectangle below where it says music player. I wish this could be assignable or at least let you tap home. In order to go home in a lot of cases you have to hit the home button. I wish you could swipe and tap your way through on the screen itself.

There's no support from the Tizen Studio (installed latest version 1.1.0). So, there's no template, you'll have to start from scratch. There's also no Emulator template either. There's great examples included, incl. native app which shows how access sensors (runs great in the emulator). The Fit2 is fully Tizen RTOS compatible. I tried to use one of the S2 examples to make it Fit2 compatible. Not luck, W/o a working template and a working emulator I give up...
So at this moment we can't really develop apps unless we know how to make it from scratch? No help for amateurs?

Correct, Samsung policy, buy at your own risk...
The screen res is 216x432. I made layout pics to use with the emulator. The db-file is the button assignment file. But haven't figured out yet, how everything works together.

Such a shame. It has lot of potential. Decent hardware and software that offers a lot as well. Could you please let me/us know if you figure something out? If Samsung doesn't want to help me use my watch to its full potential, I would happily spend my time doing that myself.

I got an emulator working, BUT the screen settings are not ok, screen elements are being cut off, have to investigate...
Somebody interested helping me?
Emulator running: http://imgur.com/Uzdk0zB
Settings cut-off: http://imgur.com/nYeKZLi
Settings itself ok: http://imgur.com/pBaPrEk
Power Off ok too: http://imgur.com/Ir0p5sd
Both buttons (back and Home) are working.
If I find a way to make the emulator robust, no screen cut-off I can transfer sample apps from Gear S2 to Fit2. That's the first steps of developing own apps for this thing.

This looks promising. I would gladly help but I don't think that I would be of any use with my lack of skills.
I have Neonto studio installed which looks like an easy way of creating apps but I could not figure out how to get the app on my watch. Probably because there is no emulator for it in Tizen Studio.

You need the Tizen Studio to get apps onto the watch. In developer mode.
There's no template for this watch for Tizen Studio, so the interfaces are not declared (API to sensors), the screen resolution is not set (see my cut-off settings screen) and the GUI elements are not defined (swipe, L/R. D/U, no ring like Gear S2). I doubt that there'll be apps for this watch until some skilled person adds this to the SDK...
if somebody is interested I can send them what i did so far, it'll save some time in doing the emulator templates.

Three questions/requests:
1. What SDK did you use for Gear Fit 2? Wearable 2.3 or 2.3.1 or is there one for Gear Fit 2?
2. Are you able to push your app/project into your Gear Fit 2 via debug mode or something?
3. Would you be able to share your sample project that is tested to work on Gear Fit 2?
Best regards!

Hi only started to experiment today with my new fit 2. And got a hello tizen app on the fit 2. I was only following the samsung step by step guide.
1.) Used 2.3.2
2.) Yes, debug mode is working
Now i need to investigate how to build a minimal ui. I want to build a small app, that unlocks my smart door lock.
1.) enable wifi
2.) wait until connected to my router
3.) get thet state of the lock
4.) send the unlock command
5.) close app and disable wifi
So i'm able to go running without any additional key or phone.

Nice. That's exactly what I would like to use my watch for. I don't have a smart door lock but I'm planning on getting one in the future. Right now I wish I was able to make an app for MacID or a simple shopping list/reminder app
Great idea - I am starting research to try something similar

If you make any progress, I'd be keen to hear, and I'm happy to share what I get done too.
I will probably look at it sometime over the next month when I have time as I am a complete noob to Tizen.
I never thought to have the watch directly open the door (but now I am going to copy that idea - thanks), originally I just wanted to have the watch trigger phone to open door (to avoid getting phone out to open door) I previously had tasker detecting the phone shaking trigger my door unlock, but It would be much neater to get the watch to do that instead.
Door unlock is simple https request with authentication token.

[Dev] What's your App request?

Hi everyone!
Developer of Energy Bar here. I recently got the Amazfit Pace, and am pretty excited to make some cool Apps for the watch.
As of now, two ideas:
Access phone contacts and dial them directly from the watch (hear & talk via the bluetooth earphones connected to the phone.)
A new notification system, which will let you read individual messages (Apps like WhatsApp have some of the notifications bundled.) And also ability to reply from watch (extremely small keyboard though.)
I would like to hear your ideas, please suggest something that may benefit all the watch users in general. I wouldn't be able to fulfil any custom App request as of now.
Your ideas may go as crazy as you would like, I will let you know the extend to which it would be technically feasible. The only thing I want to re-emphasize is that, the idea needs to be something that will benefit all the watch users in general.
Also, I do plan to make majority of Apps' feature free to the community, but to be able to afford enough time to make a lot of Apps which leverages full potential of the watch - I would need support through in-app purchases. I would like to know if you would be interested in subscribing to some of the essential Apps or a pack of Apps?
Hello. I have a new watches. I am missing several functions. Posibility to display level of phone battery on watchface, and indication about unread notification(s). I would also aperciate posibility to bring sport activity to background and paralel usage of other applications. However I am afraid that these functions will be dependent on system services.

Displaying battery level of phone and number of unread notifications sounds good!
But I wonder what's the specific use case of running some other App on the watch while sport activity is running? Could you please elaborate?

I would like to record just my touristic trips. I would like to use the watches normally, during the trip - checking weather for example.... I have used Sony SmartWatch 2 for 3 years - I will have some other ideas for sure later when I will have more experiences with Amazfit...
GoPro control app, ios/android music control app, phone book and dial app with headphones, voice recorder - there is mic built in the watch... and continuum transfunctioner Zoltan!
Being able to reply to Text/Gmail messages is #1 for me. Second - remote control of phone's music app.
Thank you for starting this project, I really appreciate your efforts. This watch has one of the best looking design and a decent hardware. I think file manager and ablity to install apk from the watch and an app to push files from phone to the watch would be beneficial.

In earlier fw version was​ even worse. During sport activity, literally you couldn't see time on the, well, watch! Then they added it on the top, as well as battery status. Both too small but at least.
I agree with you, watch is missing multitasking. Going to home screen, using it regularly and track activity in the background. However, I doubt that op can do that without source of the fw.

By recording touristic trips do you mean activating one of the sports activity? Like Walk? It is possible to enable such a solution, but how good that solution would be, depends on a more defined use case. I will put this on a lower priority list, will check the feasibility a bit later.

GoPro control app - have to know if a niche among the niche of Amazfit pace users exist, if there is enough demand - will develop.
Music control, dial - Yes, nice ideas.
Voice Recorder - This App apparently works, if it's missing something specific to our watch, let me know.

That was one of the first thoughts I had, still checking if it's technically feasible to provide such a functionality without root.

Apart from checking on time, do you feel that there is a real need for multitasking while the watch is tracking one of your sports activity? Or is it more like, nice to have thing? If the need of multitasking has some great application/use case, I would like to hear about it - as in, what else would you access while actively participating in a sport?

Well, as mentioned before to use other features of the watch, time, date, weather, notifications​... Notification, for example, will show up during activity and then disappear. No way to check it again. Music player is also not available during some activities. No way to check steps as well.
Of course it's not deal breaker but other watches have that feature and would be nice to have normal watch skin with activity in the background. Especially during walking, sightseeing... Watch can track up to 35h, after all.

In my opinion, it would be nice to have an app that tells you when your watch loses the connection.
In fact, that was the reason why i bought my first smartwatch, a Sony 2. I was afraid to lose my phone . And it's a pity the actual amazfit doesn't give you this option.
Thanks in advance!!!
I'd say that Huami have purposely restricted background apps in order to maximise battery life.
As far as app requests go: for me it's a podcast app, that's active while running.
My guess is that the easiest way to do this would be that the podcasts would download into the music folder and we could just use the default music player to play them.
Remote camera control, useful for selfies
There are many 5k/10k trainer apps on android/iOS. Is it possible to port one or create some simple to run in background while running activity?
Right now Im using 5k Run-Couch to 5K Walk/Jog interval training. Something similar would be great, no need for some fancy design.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vandersw.fivekrun
In connection with headphones there could be some beep sound on each interval, no need for vibration.
An editor of watchfaces like those that exist for Android wear would be great, since the edition of watchfaces for this watch is complicated, and there's not much editing freedom...

There are many 5k/10k trainer apps on android/iOS. Is it possible to port one or create some simple to run in background while running activity?
Right now Im using 5k Run-Couch to 5K Walk/Jog interval training. Something similar would be great, no need for some fancy design.

In connection with headphones there could be some beep sound on each interval, no need for vibration.

Porting would essentially mean modifying another developer's work without a permission. So, whatever it is, have to be built from scratch.
Running an App simultaneously with the running activity on foreground may not work well, both the Apps would have to keep tracking your distance etc. So, am afraid that won't be a good idea for now.
But I plan to facilitate multitasking, so that may help in one or the other way.

An editor of watchfaces like those that exist for Android wear would be great, since the edition of watchfaces for this watch is complicated, and there's not much editing freedom...
