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!

These are all apps that I found on forums and such while looking for Pace compatible apps. They should mostly work (I haven't tested all of them). As far as I know all of these apps are free. If anyone is the owner/developer of any of these apps and would like me to remove them let me know.

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.
Tick Tick Installed on Phone

I just installed the Tick Tick in my Mobile phone, but this app is for Mobile phone and not for Amazefit pace watch.

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):

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,
I'm planning on buying a Bip or Pace but still haven't decided which one. A feature that is necessary for me is the ability of setting multiple new alarms without using the app in the smartphone. I work with gloves, so everything must be done without taking the phone out of my pocket. Do they both have the ability of doing that? Do you guys have any recommendation on buying the Pace over the Bip?
Thank you all!
The Bip requires new alarms to be added using the app, but they can be enabled/disabled on the watch. The Pace/Stratos both allow the addition, removal and enabling/disabling of alarms on the watch
Be aware the touch screens do not work that well with gloves on though, they're like phone screens
why is it not possible to "set" alarms directly on the watch... a "smart"watch that can't do so simple actions, and need smartphone to do that...

You need the phone once, when you add an alarm. You can still enable/disable them on the watch.
This will have been done to save programming space for the set up procedure to keep costs down on the Bip I'd imagine
I’m struggling with that ‘alarm setting’ also. While the countdown does have a mm:ss that can be set on the Bip, the alarm can not be set with a hh:mm ?? The programming/ space usage for that would be very minimal, and help a lot !! Notice also that the smartphone would not always be around, since Bip can do a lot on its own.
Hi, can a message like "go to appointment" be set with the alarms in amazfit bip and/or other amazfits?
Thanks in advance.
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.

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.

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
As everyone already knows, the GTR's GPS module is useless. I usually take my phone to my outdoors activities, so I wish I could track my activity using the phone's GPS. I can do this already using the Amazfit phone app, but this way I can't see the data through my watch. Isn't there any way to flash a custom firmware that has this feature?
I guess this is yet not possible cuz the code is not open source. If Amazfit shares the code then I think programmers can easily modify and make custom rom.

I tried once, but I was not pleased. It showed the information as notification, making the watch vibrating all the time. And I couldn't read while cycling, because the notification text is not large enough.
