Hello all,
I have just received my new amazfit bip (international version).
Unfortunately Hebrew notifications cannot be displayed on the watch.
I have tried to look for a solution in the web, but most of the results were posted several months ago and I could not find any solution for my problem.
Is there any solution for that?
Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you for you fast reply, unfortunately, the last time (at least the one that I have found) the bip was mentiond on the facebook page was couple of months ago.
In your attacked link I have found ROMs for the other amazfit versions, is there a solution for the bip? (Did I miss something?)
Thanks
Oh, sorry, I didn't notice you are talking about the Bip.
The XDA link is in no use to you.
Try to send a message to the FB page.
The admin is Pavel.
He is very knowledgeable and nice,
I put my money that if anyone would know how, he will be the guy.

Thank you, I will do it and update here,
Still waiting for an answer here
Hi,
Pavel here, reporting for duty
Unfortunately, there is no solution for the Bip, not an official one and nothing on the non-officials ones as well.
you can load custom fonts into the watch, but the last try i had with that ended up with mirrored Hebrew, unusable, and on the 2nd flash it killed my Bip.
As sad as it might sound, I would accept my gloom future and the fact that it will probably NEVER will support Hebrew.

Hey,
Roee Greenberg and Ya Alex posted on this group: Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Bip INTERNATIONAL (Facebook group) the attached file.
Unzip it, and use "gadgetbridge" or "notify & fitness" to flash it as a custom firmware.
It worked for me.

Hi.
It's a nice surprise to see my name here
I recently made a "patch" for RTL support. It's not a firmware fix but at the app side, and should be at the next version of Gadgetbridge app.
If you wish, you can find an unofficial version of the app at the Facebook group from the link above.
Hi all,
I just ordered my Amazfit Bip. I used to have Mi Band 2 and Mi Band 3.
I flashed a firmware to support Hebrew on Mi Band 3 and it worked for some time, but eventually, working with a Pixel 3 and the Notification and Fitness app (without MiFit app) both bands lost their bluetooth capabilities and are not communicating with the outer world any more.
Scared of this, I intend to use gadgetbridge to flash the Hebrew font and then just work with Alert bridge and MiFit together. will that work?
Thanks!
should work, not in a perfect way, but should work
Is it possible to install the Hebrew fonts on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)?
Any help / guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

for what device?
Aamazfit Pace, international version. (2.8.4.0)
i bought amazfit verge lite but it is in chinese version. i was wondering if anyone could help me getting the language to english
It wasn't released internationally yet, so you didn't do a wise choice... Try using the adb commands to set the language to EN, maybe it works, at least partially...

I bought Chinese version also, for me it is fine the Chinese writing but if i could make it in English it would be much better
tried adb but laptop do not find the watch, looks like the cable is only to charge...

Verge lite is available for Europe costumers already - https://en.amazfit.com/verge-lite.html US web site don't have it yet to sell
So guys, I have Good news and Bad news...
I contacted amazfit support and I have a reply:
"Hi Amazfit User:
Thank you for contacting Amazfit. We apologize if the product caused you any inconvenience!
Could you please provide us the SN number and Model number on the back of the watch?
Did you order Chinese version or English version?
Please understand that the Chinese version watch language can not be changed. If you can not read Chinese, please contact the seller to return the watch.
Sincerely
"
That means that it is possible to use it in English.... but not in easy way -.-'
Now it is in the hand of this programmers Gods to help us xD
I don't remember exactly but you can do it by editing the build prop and reboot...it's 3 lines to edit I think...
One is change "local" to EU and the other line is basically change language...
Search for it here on the Amazfit thread

No verge lite is not android based, so he can not use build.prop. Probably, if we had the firmware we would be able to extract the res file and translate, in the same way we did for bip, but it is soon to say.
Ok didn't know that at all...I was thinking of buying the verge lite...Will there be any development our custom rooms for this watch I wonder...
I hope the OP gets it sorted.....
Can you add a custom dial

(verge lite)
I just bought it from china and only chinese language appear. I hope someone can share the way to solve this problem
Verge lite does not run Android as far as I know, but a proprietary OS like BIP, so don't waste your time with adb. A new Amazfit app 3.0 was released on PlayStore, if it doesn't work then you will have to wait until someone hack it like they did with BIP/Core (of course, it will void warranty).
It seems to be already an English firmware actually.
Don't ask me how they managed to get it.

I ordered the Verge Lite from Aliexpress at the end of June and just got it today and it's running English firmware. Manufacturer date was 07/2019.
I received my Verge Lite (Global version) yesterday to replace my BIP. So far so good, but after I connected the watch with the Mi Fit app it started an update to V1.3.2.0 and now it gets stuck on "updating Fonts". It fails every time and the only thing I can see on the watch is "Open the app and go to Software updates" so I can't use the watch anymore. Any ideas on how to handle this? Is a custom firmware already available?
Very bad experience with Amazfit and so far no customer support (no reply yet)
That's the problem with devices like BIP/Verge lite: once you get a problem the only way to try to workaround is waiting until the battery is full depleted and hope that it will start working again next boot. Or wait for a new firmware update and hope it is fixed.

I bought an international version of verge lite and I didn't have this problem. You could try to factory reset the verge lite, make sure you install english Mi Fit app (there are apk available somewhere here https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/6606?query=mi fit apk)
And then try to sync it and see if the watch displays in english.

1. You bought an international version, that's why you didn't have the problem, obviously.
2. Watch should be paired with Amazfit Watch and not MiFit.

Same thing happened to me.
Purchased in Geekbuying, it was updated to V1.3.2.0 and after changing the sphere it was reboot. It stays in a loop of reboots and after a while it comes out updating fonts. I try to update them and it ends with error

1. Yes, I understand that but I do have the same watch, its just an issue with firmware which could be fixed by factory resetting. You can't know it unless you try it.
2. They're both official apps. My manual said to sync it with Mi Fit app.
Hello all, I've got the amazfit Verge 2 for over a month now, really great watch, but it's got limited Watchfaces, The Amazfit GTR which was released after it has more Watchfaces. I want to know if it's possible to make custom watch faces for it ?
Thanks
WearOS 1.5 and 2.0 watchfaces work with it surprisingly (I bit my tongue as I said it would not run WearOS apps when it was released, but it seems it is not pure Android 8.1 but some mix between it and WearOS). The main problem is that they are gone after the watch is rebooted. Actually, the watch UI/UX is a mess of bugs right now...

Yeah. The watch UI is really buggy, it's literally Android 8.1 with a launcher built on it.
Anyways I would try to install some Wear OS watches and see if I could make them persist after reboot

How did you install wearOS watchfaces in Verge2 ? I tried but didn't have success.
i wanna know too, i have a chinese version of Amazfit Verge 2(nexo)
And this smart watch is not as complete as I expected.
I thought it was easy to have watchfaces, that you could use spotify on it, but none of this is happening.
The smartwatch nor multimedia has, to control music from the phone.
I'm disappointed...
They are updating the watch and added the ability to answer calls via bluetooth ... Gradually they are improving, I hope I can have more options for watchfaces

My Nexo is stuck in 1.2.1.0 ROM. It says that there is 1.2.4.2 ROM available but when I use the watch update menu it searches for available ROM but says "It is already in the latest version". I did a factory reset. Nothing happened.
I tried updating via the Amazfit app (the popup that says to do the update but it returns to the watch and the same message appears: "It is already in the latest version".
Is there a way to update it?
I think you using i differenr watch or rom, because the version of my watch is 1.0.16.9
Amazfit watch 2 (Amazfit Nexo)
AC1807
i getting update via ota, i just need connect wifi and download in the system update option.

Did you manage to change the watchfaces of the amazfit nexo? I bought one and I can't add any and I didn't even find where...
Can anyone check WatchFace in UltraMode? Is it possible to use your own as in GTR? I suspect that in UM Stratos 3 displays WF in bin like in other watches without android.
Anyone can try something?
Only on smart mode as far as I can see. On ultra mode it's possible to use only the 10 or so stock watchfaces provided in the app by Huami.

I know this. But maybe someone was rummaging in the Roma and "spotted" something.
I suspect that the andriod watchface in apk did not work in UM, so it probably must be bin. So maybe some developer will come up with a way to replace one of the built-in watchface.

Latest CN firmware adds a WearStore app with some new .bin watchfaces for Smart and Ultra mode.

Hi there,
It is almost impossible to find some stuff about Bip S. I have just bought one a week ago and trying to make it more useful. First of all, it is said that the watch comes with 10 different activity options. I just got 6. Later I found out that there is this OTA update which I didn't get it. Because my watch is updated to the latest version and still got 6 options. If anyone knows about it please let me know.
I 've got some other issues I would like to mention all. The second issue is the lack of watch faces and inability of using creators because I guess there is no one for Bip S yet. One that exists for Bip gives an error for most of the work.
Finally, I was trying to use amaztool which is a good app. I didn't get ''the custom trigger'' section though. Anyone knows how to use this and what is this ''url'' part about in it?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Waiting for OTA update also.

Hi all,
I have got an Amazfit Bip S, and I would like to connect it to Gadgetbridge. However, it does not work because I cannot find a working authentification key. I tried sqlite3 and the modded Amazfit app from freeyourgadget.com. I am grateful for any suggestions. Here is what I have tried so far:
I tried the sqlite3-method with a rooted phone running Android 7. I followed the procedure as described in the Huami-Server-Paring description on github. However, it seems the phone has no sqlite3-package, and I could not push one to /system/xbin because I had no writing permission. I copied the origin_db_* to /sdcard/ and pushed the sqlite3-package from my laptop to the same directory. It did not work either, sqlite3 gave me back it could not find a line with DEVICE.
The modded Amazfit-app produced a file, which read [MAC-address];[32-character alphanumeric sequence]. I tried the 32-character alphanumeric sequence as authentification key in the Gadgetbridge-app, but it did not work. For all I know, the authentification key should have 16 characters.
I am grateful for any suggestions!
Taken from the gadgetbridge guide did you do this when entering your key:
IMPORTANT: Enter your key prefixed with 0x ( eg. if your key is fedcba01234567890fedcba012345678 enter 0xfedcba01234567890fedcba012345678)

Thank you for helping stupid across the street! I was so stuck in other problems that I actually forgot this. Embarassing... Now it works with the 32-character key the modded Amazfit-app produced. Thx!
Your welcome. I missed this too so that's why i thought i would ask :laugh:
Finally. Sportsmodes with update
Sorry Im new here, i have a Amazfit Bip S and i love it so far but one thing that bothers me is the generic app icon when notification is received. Any workaround

Hey guys, I'm interested in this watch after I managed to sell the buggy gtr with it's trash GPS. Does this watch work correctly? GPS, tracking etc everything is functional?

I only know the official Amazfit app and the Gadgetbridge app (apart from watch face apps). The Gadgetbridge app is for those who are sensitive about their personal data. The official Amazfit app has some functionality advantages.
For instance, the Gadgetbridge cannot share the phone's GPS signal with the watch — other than the Amazfit app. That is a bit of a problem because it takes the watch a few minutes to find the GPS signals after you started the sports tracker. Distance and speed measuring only starts after the watch has found the signals; time count, however, starts before. That distorts average speed.
Also, retrieving the watch key for the Gadgetbridge app is a bit tricky.

"Amazfit BIP 1S" is written on the watch box. When I connect my watch to the Amazfit app I choose Bip s / bip lite s. And my watch has GPS as well. So, I think it is Bip lite s
