Hi!
Is there another app just like Watch Styler for fit? I can not find it in the App Store or on the Internet.
To bad I can not make apps myself, I just started with Tasker and that in its self is hard,lol.
Maybe one of you smart ones will make an app for me like Watch Styler (just with more clocks to choose from) and I will provide Dutch manuals for your apps in the app store? Seems fair enough?
Greetings, Bammmbi
Another like the original ?

Thanks for your reply.
No, I have that one, but I can't find other apps that can do the same and more for my Samsung Gear Fit.
The Watch Styer that you gave me in the link is nice, but limited in clock style choice. I would love to be able to chose from more digital and analoge clocks, styles, positioning and such. More freedom and also more colour choice. I wouldeven pay for an app like that.
The app store is full of apps for other smartwatches and such but not for my Samsung Gear Fit, such a shame.
Regards, Bammmbi
@Bammmbi If you find someone who can do this, please point them to my project, I would like to have this capability in my app. I thought about adding this functionality, but it will be down the road in my roadmap as Im working on other key features

Hi Jarredic.
Since you're asking me thissuppose.. this means that there is no other app like Watch Styler. At least not know to you... Did you ask the maker of Watch Styler if you could use his script? Its a free app.
If you ever come to making it yourself, I'll provide the Dutch version for your app, if you want to.
P. S.
If I will find someone I will redirect them to you. It's awesome, your app. I'm still struggling with Tasker variables, hahaha.
I'm really discouraged by the fact I'm locked down on this TIZEN crap. Today I shattered my phone, and could have really used the email app 'cloud magic' (my default mail app) so I could limp mode until I got a new phone. I needed to look at some past emails, no way to do this because the cloud magic app isn't available on tizen.
neither is my viper smart start app.
So, it's either time to replace with mainstream, or hack this thing.
What options do I have ?

I use Opera browser on my watch to check out my Gmail.

Thanks. I did the same thing in that pinch of a moment, but it was cumbersome.
I'd still like to know if 1) I can hack the watch so it can utilize android wear or 2) what android wear watches have the ability to receive texts/emails when host phone is off.
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...

I will experiment with multitasking, if it seems to work okay, will release an App for that.

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.

Hi,
before I had a pebble time steel and now with the amazfit bip, custom apps are missing to me a lot. For exemple, "this button" app allowed me to control my domotique box through IFTTT applets with my watch. An app to send recorded sms is also missing. And a lot of other apps...
Do you think there is any way to create custom apps that could be install like for custom watchfaces for the bip?
Thanks.
custom app is great idea
I would also appreciated some kind of customization apart of watchfaces. In worst case I'ld like to replace e.g. compass to something more useful (calendar, HTPP call via phone, display some reasonable data, whatever...). So does anybody have an idea how to create custom ROM or some hack?

No, it doesn't. Pace uses Android while Bip uses a proprietary OS.
So unless Huami releases a SDK to develop apps, there is no easy way. The only option is to hack and find out how to side load apps and mod the existing ones, if there is a way to side load (free space, support in the OS for new apps, etc).
It would be great if there would be shortcuts app. It could have 4 named buttons on screen and you would configure what action they would invoke on phone.
For now i use Amazfit tools and double click on button to invoke at least player play/pause.
any reason to nobody make watcfaces like below screens?i searched but i found only for android wear. i hope developers make this style watchfaces. for amazfit pace thanks
There is no way to fetch calendar data on watch using the builtin features now. There is a standalone calendar widget that can be helpful. Next AmazMod version is rumored to add possibility of other types of data sync, that would include calendar data.

i found amazmod on github but cant find roadmap and release date for data sync.maybe i couldnt find on github.any release date for data sync calender feature for amazmod?
Actually AmazMod will offer a service for data syncing, developers can use this to create apps like calendars that sync data with phone.

If you are on Android and Apple Music behaves like any other music player, with controls in the notification drawer, then you should be able to control it too, simply configure Amazfit app correctly. I have never used AppleMusic on Android, so I have no idea how it works on these phones.

No, no appstore. And if it's the main purpose you are getting it I think you should think twice: Pace is a sportswatch, and it does it well. But it's not meant to run apps: it has very little memory (512MB) and runs a modified and streamed down version of Android 5.1 on a MIPS processor, you can run some apps on it, but besides the ones built for Pace (there are some here in this forum) then it will be a very good experience as it's not the device's purpose.

1 take note app on watch (with keyboard on watch)
2 voice record on watch( and send record file to phone )
3 and reply whatapp or steam chat incoming massages with keyboard on watch)
4 data sync watchface ( you said possible in the future so ignore this)

lastly please answer for amazfit bip also? bip's battery life is amazing.
BIP can't be customized in anyway besides a few custom watchfaces... It has a proprietary OS, not even space to store music.
anyone know that if amazfit bip supports calling contacs from watch via blutooth feature??thanks in advance
