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.

I wonder if it possible now to sell apps by Samsung Apps store now?
Did you try to do that?
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.

Success, partially...
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.

Hmmm I am running mine on Windows, that might be the reason.
I think I know the reason now, I downloaded the Tizen SDK 2.4 not the Tizen Studio 1.1.1 so now I have the 2.3.2 option. =D

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.
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...

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,
there's a place where I can find some good app (apk) modified to works on my Amazfit Pace? I've already installed ADB...
Don't think so, Android wear app don't work on Amazfit
Yes, it is possible. The info was provided in another forum (requires registration), for watches that use full Android instead of Wear, like Amazfit Pace. I've found this info here:
http://amazfitcentral.com/2017/11/16/use-android-wear-apps-amazfit-pace/
I have successfully ported some, it's not that hard. Most apps for AW 1.5 that doesn't require the companion phone app to work are very easy to install on Pace.
Thanks!

This apps works well with small round displays, and can sync over wifi so you can use your computer or phone to enter data and read it on your watch:
- TickTick (very good reminder app even in free version, can connect with Twitter or email account)
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ticktick.task
TickTick usually uses RAM while on background (needed for sync and notifications, of course), otherwise it performs very well. I just wanted TickTick to remove the top bar when scrolling an item when viewing it.

No, it doesn't work, it doesn't support Android 5.1 (the version on Pace). But you know you can upload GPX data to watch and use it, right? If you need an offline map, you can try OsmAnd or Galileo (version 1.6.6 works very well on Pace).
do you have link to pace apk for Osmand and Galileo?
Stopwatch wear app
Hello,
I tried to install the ported stopwatch wear app (StopwatchTT.apk) to stratos but if gives an install error (not supported)
I can't get android studio to work (Error:Android Source Generator: Error: Can't find bundle for base name messages.AndroidJpsBundle, locale nl_NL ) and i don't know how too.
Somebody here who can make it work for Stratos or give me some guide how i can make it work with Android Studio?
The original stopwatch is laggy and verry diffcult to touch
Thanks

Hello. Did you read my previous comment? You must download and install the regular app (the same used on phones) to the watch. Then open it and choose the account to sync it using WiFi.
If you need help installing apps on watch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo-SIiBa25w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR-j_aCsu_A
Once TickTick is installed on watch, connect with your Twitter account (you must have done this on phone too, same account, so it can sync to watch). You will need a browser, I recommend installing XBrowser on watch too, it is small and works well. You may want to install PaceOn too, it turns WiFi on and keep the screen on so it doesn't disconnect.

Sorry, but I don't like to apps outside Play Store. That said, I have used files downloaded from APKMirror or APKPure (I can't guarantee this one is safe), OsmAnd is version 2.5.3 and Galileo Free is 1.6.6.
Regarding hiking, I have tested both regular apps (the one that runs on phones) and they work somehow on Pace too, ViewRanger is very sluggish, but AlpineQuest runs surprisingly well (only the paid version records tracks tho):

Once TickTick is installed on watch, connect with your Twitter account (you must have done this on phone too, same account, so it can sync to watch). You will need a browser, I recommend installing XBrowser on watch too, it is small and works well. You may want to install PaceOn too, it turns WiFi on and keep the screen on so it doesn't disconnect.

Sorry, but I don't like to apps outside Play Store. That said, I have used files downloaded from APKMirror or APKPure (I can't guarantee this one is safe), OsmAnd is version 2.5.3 and Galileo Free is 1.6.6.
Regarding hiking, I have tested both regular apps (the one that runs on phones) and they work somehow on Pace too, ViewRanger is very sluggish, but AlpineQuest runs surprisingly well (only the paid version records tracks tho):

Thank you very much for the reply.
Tick Tick apk is unsupported after installation it does not open.
This apk needs to access google play.
Thank you for the support.

Hello,
Since there is no possibility to add a custom workout profile (cardio, weight training etc), it is possible to install Endomondo or Sports Tracker apk on the Pace 2 (Stratos) and run it to track indoor workouts like weight lifting, cardio etc.? If it is possible, then would like to know if I can also port the daily tracking metrics to those apps? This is the only feature that I'm missing and it is stopping me to buy this wonderful watch.
I think all they have to do is add a feature to add a custom workout profile and allow the user to choose the data points in the same way Garmin allows.
Please help.
Hi there,
i'm trying to build a companion app similar to watchdroid with wich i can send data to the watch and display them on a widget/springboard.
In my case i wan't to have my blood glucose level on my watch as i was used to with my android wear watch.
I have a simply app made with taske wich can read out a json from my nightscout site. This sadly work only via wifi.
Main problem is the bluetooth comunication. i've tried so many simply bluetooth apps and librarys via sideload. I can't even tell how many. Non of them worked out. Only some worked in watch to phone direction but not the other - desired - way. In almost every case, my phone could'nt even find the watch.
But since watch droid got it working, i know there is a way.
There is another way to get data to the watch: the notification system. Since i also could'nt get the notification listener to work on the watch, it is also not a starting point for me.
Last chance i see is automizing watchdroid and sending a file at a regulary scedule and reading this from the widget.
For the moment i just use Notify and fitness cause the Phone notification with my glucose level is persistent and the huami app ignores persistent notifications.
But get a new notification with my glucose level every 5 Minutes. On the phone the notification gets just updated, on the watch i get a new one. Over the day the notification stack gets fuller and fuller...
I'm not talking about geting this into a watchface, thats the next step after the next hundreds of steps.
Any help and tipps are welcome.
When a notification is dismissed on the phone, it should dismiss on the watch.
If you have the source to this app, you could make it dismiss it's notification and send a new one.

Hello,
what application do you use to get a notification every 5 minutes ??? you use a FreeStyle Free blood glucose sensor ??? I will be very happy to read you to know if you succeeded !!!

Yes, it's freestyle libre with ambrosia blucon nightrider for nfc readout and transmission every 5 min. The app i use is xdrip+.
The notification is persistent to keep the data collector service running, to show the value on the notificatiin icon even on the aod of samsungs.

ah yes anyway, the price of "ambrosia blucon nightrider" as we say at home "it stings the eyes". before you give me the answer I was wondering how you did to get back the FreeStyle scan, so I understand. on the other hand to use the nightscout, it is a little the course of the fighter ... a lot of account to create. damage that the app glimp or other does not regroup suddenly!
It's currently my intention to build a framework for both phone and watch to allow apps to get data from the internet at some point in the next few months. I'm stuck with work to do at the moment so don't have any time to put towards projects (especially not big ones like that) but in the future - probably
I'd ideally also like to get Android Wear (not Wear OS, it's an old version) working too, to allow at least some companion apps to function (Sleep as Android, Keep etc.). I've got the framework working fine (which does improve app compatibility, but no communication still severely limits what they can do), but the two way Bluetooth connection throws an error that I cannot find any documentation about, so it's on hold for now until I have sufficient time to investigate properly
This would be awesome to have a framework like this. In my case i would'nt even need real internet access, due to the web service is localy provided by the xdrip app. But this would open so many things and possible options to code. Let me know if i could help. I'm also short in time but willing to help.
Getting Android wear working on the pace/stratos would also be great. I tried out sideloading the micro apk for wear of xdrip+ and it worked out better than expected. No crashes from the app and even the integrated watchfaces were selectable. Of course there were no data shown and no low power watchface.

It might actually be possible to build a newer version of Android, source code exists for the CPU and MIPS sources exist all the way up to Oreo, but again that would take time I don't have (and space for that matter)
Just wanted to let you know, that thanks to edotassi i have a working widget with my blood glucose values on my Stratos.
https://github.com/edotassi/AmazMod
https://github.com/edotassi/AmazModService
Now i'm fine tuning the widget and maybe also the nightscout parts of amazmod. But i'm still learning.

Hi, great news. Will this work on Amazfit BIP ?
Since the Bip does not rely on the AmazFit Watch app, i'd say no.
Can you show on the photo the indications of the xdrip on the watch? how it works.
Hi, i'm now trying to integrate quinnys library into xDrip, to make thinks easy and to allow 2 way communication.
Since xDrip is a really big and complex project + i'm a noop i'm having trouble with providing a switch in the menus and finding the right place to start the service from. Maybe someone can help me out again.
I am also really interest of amazfit bit. I saw now, xdrip have one section called "amazfit synk service" look like can connect with this kind of phones. Are there news to see the value on the display?

None of this will work with the Bip, it's too limited
Is there any way to implement the clockscreen or widget from Glimp instead of XDrip on the Stratosphere. I'm getting better use from Glimp and MiaoMiao.

You should ask this the devs of glimp.
Hi,
I want to introduce you my new App for Amazfit Stratos.
It has an App for your watch and an App for your mobile. It records your routes and allows you to upload them to Google Fit and Strava.
The main difference between this one and the default one is the size of the numbers. This one is good for people with presbyopia like me
You can download the Apk for the watch reading the App Help here https://bilbosoft.wordpress.com/2018/10/23/help-speed-for-amazfit/
The mobile App is hosted at Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.speedforamazfitmobile
Try it and give me feedback.
Thanks
Any feedback?
nice work!
How does it interacts with the built-in system? do you rely on your own connection to Strava?

The Watch App records the route and when you finish, it sends it to the mobile App that uploads it to Strava
I like the idea since this could be another step to a completely offline solution. Are the data fields costumable? Why do you use blue background? Black on white or white on black seems to me giving the best contrast.
Can't try this out though, since I own a Pace.
If have this app for the Sony Smartband Talk SWR30 and the issue is the distance displayed with 100m resolution. Not very usefull for walk, better for motor engine

The background is black!
The data are fixed.
I will change the Watch App to support Pace as well.

In this case the watch gps is used.

Hi Pacosal,
I am using Amazfit Stratos,
1) is this App calculate the distance itself or read the distance from sport activity?
2) when using this App, is the watch will record the sport activity?

I like to try on this apk, because the Amazfit give me the different mileage as compare to gpx file,
1) will it void the warranty after install this apk?
2) is it possible to uninstall this apk later if I feel not comfortable with it?
Thank you

Is better to install nothing and to keep watch as clean as possible.

Installing ANY APK won't void warranty, and you can uninstall them any time you want, at most a factory reset will remove all installed APK.
That being said, if you get "wrong" distances on watch/Amazfit, you may want to check if 3D Data is enabled, it uses the altitude to calculate the correct distance. If it's disabled or OK, then try disabling auto-pause or choose something different than "stand still", as it's very sensitive and may produce errors.
I installed this app onto my Amazfit Stratos and test it (on vehicle),
During the test, ’Workout’ remain zero, what is it?
after i press, upper button, the App turn to ’pause’ , but immediately turn to ’running’ again, when the car stop, the App will also automatic turn to ’pause’, in the setting on the phone, i choose no ’automatic pause’, below is the setting on phone,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CgFCZAanmtUoKXMCXw3lZSCCIF3G07Fa/view?usp=drivesdk
After the test, i press the middle button to stop, and select to save the track, below is the result shown on phone,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rY7jbxDPtGPHnflTWTfhspqZFXX5xG8l/view?usp=drivesdk
But the date and time shown very strange, ’workout’ also shown zero.
Also no track record sent to Strava, where I can download it?
Hi pacosal,
I like that app, congratulation for your work.
I was looking an app like this ... for running with my xiaomi m365 ... eheheheheh ... but the numbers (even so) are still small
Will it be possible to make a new screen only instantaneous speed and travelled distance ... with BIG BIG numbers? ehehehehehe
I don't understand this App !
Hello , I want to thank you first for you work on this app. I'm also did some apps for android with Eclipse....
But I tried the app, and the displays seem not very simple to understand on my stratos. When I'm moving I can't also identify where is the speed ? the total time ? almost is 0000, sometimes a number seems to be the km/h but not very sure and not accurate at all. Idem for time. There is still to worrk !

Hello pacosal,
Thanks very much for the app. A very useful layout of the screen.
I just have one problem. You say that the right top button should be used start/stop. However in my case this button always sends me back to the home screen. I see no way to configure that differently. So I don't see a way to start recording. What am I missing?
Just one spelling hint, stopped is written with two "p"'s.
Thanks again!
Hi,
Thank you for developping apps for Stratos.
I'm also a presbyopia (as majority of >50 years old).
I'm looking for a simple app which displays the date of the day such as : Monday 29 May with very very big fonts.
