Hello, I've seen some guides for the PACE model, didn't know if those need the same procedure. I wish to install Hebrew font and RTL support on my model, and require some help. What do I need to do, what are the firmware differences between the BIP and the PACE models, and how do I make Arabic and Hebrew support on it?
Thanks in advance!
As far as I know (and it's not that much to be honest)
The bip doesn't support Hebrew at all.

the bip run a closed system based on the mi band 2 os, and can't be modified to go Right To Left. in best case scenario, you'll be able to see mirrored Hebrew, and its unusable.
my suggestion is to use it as is.
For Hebrew fonts use this.
It's LTR, but it still better than nothing..

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.

thanks a lot
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)
Does anyone know what are the differences between these 2 roms (other than language ofc )? Is the Chinese one more advanced (for example someone said that Chinese rom has auto pause function and English don't have)?
I would be very grateful if some1 answer me!!
Thanks!
You can take a look at the Chinese forum (http://bbs.huami.com/forum-41-1.html), there are weekly updates with descriptions of the changes. For me it working good to translate the page with a translation plugin in chrome browser.
There are a lot of changes like virtual rabbits, routing an navigation back to start and many more
I'm owning the stratosphere for 2 weeks now, are there experiences regarding how frequent the update cycle of the official english rom is?
Thanks for answer and link.
I have Stratos for one month now and there was only initial update for it. It is shame that the updates are so slow.
Chinese rom get multilanguage
When will the stratos chinese ROM will have multilanguage feature, means capable to have english and also connect to strava. It will be a good feature..
Hello all, I would like to preorder the Amazfit Verge 2 but it's the Chinese version. I want to know if it would be possible to change the language to English because I live and I would like to use the Chinese services. Thanks in advance
this is still unknown information. the watch is Android based, so its logical that it will be possible, at this point, there's not enough information.
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...

Sorry but that is not true, i was thinking the same until I found new video in youtube where the guy is using english version.
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...
waiting for more replies

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.

I've contacted the company, they said that they're working on it. and there's still not support, I've been searching for it since for ever but still not supported :crying:
Hi,
Set your smartphone to Hebrew/Arabic and let the watch update itself.

Hi.
If you’re using an IPhone you can change the amazfit app language only. Go to settings scroll down find the amazfit app, on the bottom you will find Preferred Language select the language you want the app on it. and you can keep the iPhone language without changing it.
Hii,
Thanks but i have andoid phone not iphone.
