Any thoughts on this new gizmo, especially compared to the PACE and its customisation capabilities?
So far this watch looks like it's probably not based on Android and there's been no movement yet on customizing anything. So far.
I have ordered one, it should arrive in a few days. How do I know if it's based on Android? Do I try to connect to my PC and run adb?
Since the International version is not out yet, I got the Chinese version. I'd love to swap the firmware in the future if it'll become possible.
its a closed system based on the ARC band by Huami. there are only two contacts/connectors on the watch itself, thus, charging only, no software access with "normal" access.
it's not an android, it is not cross-flashable, and currently, as it seems, there is no way of connecting it to a PC without opening it physically up.
For all those interested there is a dedicated group on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/116263679018604/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel
firmware updates via bt possible ?
no, only OTAs

ok where the jtag pin
I received mine a week ago. So far it is pretty good. It is a cross product between the miband 2 and the pace I'd say. No android at all, screen is transflective like the pace, watchfaces are just ok. Notifications work pretty well, battery life is IMPRESSIVE (used like 20% in a week...)if there was a way to make it english would be perfect, but the menu is pretty straightforward even if you do not speak any chinese.
Firmware

Maybe possible to change firmware by bluetooth?
Amazfit BIP Tools: https://github.com/amazfitbip/tools
small tool to convert amazfit bip resource file to a standard image file.
./res2img.py [Mili_chaohu.res]
if you call it without any parameter actually it will look for "Mili_chaohu.res_3.0.4"
it will generate splitted a number of raw file and for each file a correspondent jpg file.
The program generate some temporary file like a textual palette and a mask to be applied to the grayscale image to get the indexed one. By tweaking the program is possible to keep souch files.
./ch2en.py
Process ch2en.txt by looking for hex string pattern, connect to google translate and add the english translation to the txt file
this tool can be useful for replacing string from chinese to english

Is now possible to flash every language with gagdetbridge.
As long as its translated or either you translate it.
Does anybody know where to download the translated firmwares? Or do we have to translate the firmware like it is described in the documentation linked above?
Go to the facebook group Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Bip INTERNATIONAL https://www.facebook.com/groups/1935986946664086/?fref=ts
There you will find all needed information and files.
Hi all,
I don't know if this already exist or if it is even possible from the technical perspective. I've tried to find how to do it, mainly trying to install one of the already existings apps for android but only one is compatible with the amazfit pace architecture and the result in the watch screen is to poor.
The point is to have a new activity in the smartwatch that record laps by GPS position (fe some garmin models do this as well). You set at the beginning a start point and every time you cross that point the activity set a new laptime. It will be usefull for different sports as for example circuit cycling or motorsports like go karts/motorbikes.
Does someone know if this is possible or if already exist something similar?
Regards
Which device? Pace and Stratos have a function called Autolapse which I guess is what you are looking.

Hi nhedgehog, thanks for your reply.
I have an Amazfit Pace... I can see the autolap by distance or by time but can't find the autolap by gps start position or something called autolapse, where is that? Do you have any custom rom installed?
I don't think you can do it besides auto lap by distance or time, as most watches do. If you need anything else then probably you must export the GPX data on watch, transfer it to computer then use a third party service to edit the data.
I'll answer later, just switched the ROM, don't know if I got confused with all that new settings.
I'm on the Amazfit Pace Chines BETA 2.0.6.12 ROM. Here is a thread which lists the activity settings of some outdoor activities.
You are right I can't define a GPS position as Lap Starting. I have the possibility to define autolap by distance and set this alert on or off but not what you were looking for.
I also would be interested by this GPS lap function
WOS2 on Pace has an "Auto Lap" setting (with option of notification separate from the normal lap notification where you can set the lap length), most probably it exists on Stratos as well... Does it do what you need?
Pretty much the title.
I just updated to the new official 2.8.0.5 version which includes a function for always on seconds on the watchface.
It works well on the built in faces but does not seem to work on any custom faces.
I have a bunch of wfz faces from the "Simple Amazfit Watchface Builder" site that I would love to update to support this new feature.
All work if you copy stock timehand from "26w" folders in stock watchfaces to your wfz.

Where do I get the stock wfz files? They don't seem to be in the watchfaces folder.

system\watch_faces - new stock watchfaces with working seconds (but only 3 variants, where is "Everest" i dont know). Take folder "timehand" from stock watchfaces and replace this folder in your wfz.
Look my today watchfaces on "Simple Amazfit Watchface Builder", i do it there.
PS If somebody know where is "Everest" stock watchfaces placed, please tell me

I don't seem to have a system folder anywhere that I can see, so that method is a no go.
Can you tell me the name of one of your watchfaces with seconds so that I can search for it. I tried searching for Gurttt but got zero results.

You have adb driver on your pc? If it installes you see when connected your watch all system folders on it
Ok.
Method 1
1. Install adb driver on pc (I installed it to use apk software)
2. Connect watches to pc.
3. Go to "system\watch_faces" and see the stock watchfaces
Method 2
Find Gurt on fabiobarbon. TODAY i make watchfaces with second it no hard to find on 2-3 page
Take timehand from here
sawfb.fabiobarbon.click/view/Imported/TIMEX-working-seconds
I found the folder.
For some reason faces that I add the folder to don't show up in the watch face list on either the watch or phone.
I give up for now, I'll try again when I have access to my PC, trying to do this between a Chromebook and a phone is just not working.
Mobile devices have come a long way but they are still very good at turning a 30 second task on a PC into hours of frustration ending in defeat.
Thanks for your advice, I will have another go when I have a real computer.

Its very simple, really. I use Total commander file manager - enter into my wfz watchface, delete folder "timehand" and copy folder timehand from stock watchfaces. Thats all.

I tried it again on my PC and it worked first time. Dunno what the issue was with solid explorer.
Thanks again for your help.
Yes I talk about this from a lot of time and try to study( with only partial success ) and arrive to conclusions that for now we can use normal timehands for minute and hour and only the second timehands from the new format with always on support. For that I create a zip file with all the timehands I can found with new format.
NEW FORMAT TIMEHANDS
@Gurttt I think is a good base to make your watchface with personal hour and minute and a second "always on" picked from the zip
Second and digital face
Hello. Altought I turned new function second hand ON, it does not work.
Anyway I need seconds on digital watch face. From the beginning it seems only MARATHON LIVE watch face has seconds.
What is going on? I haven't find any other watchface.
Did I miss something?

Finally I found this. Digital does not have the second always on, but thery are nice!
http://amazfit.szabadi.info
GreatFit has a digital secunds in 8c mode
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/app-watchface-greatfit-v1-1-settings-t3791516
Wfz format not suportet digital seconds. Only analogue hands of the clock. In folder wfz/timehand/8c must be png files with clockwise graphics hour/minute/seconds.png
After tried out both China and Global version of Verge ROM, I noticed that in Global ROM, the lap time for sport activities (run etc) is displayed in HH:mm:as format whereas in China ROM the lap time is shown in mm:ss format. Therefore for the text in global ROM is smaller. The simple font Courier like font that they used make it even worst.
Is there any to change it or escalate to Verge support team to ask them look into it?
Apparently fixed in 3.2.0.13
Hi,
I just got the new Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and wanted to see if anything unofficial could be tweaked or sideloaded.
It's running their new "Zepp OS" which there are very little information about. I guess it's a flavour of Linux or Android with a skin on top, but it won't show up in ADB. I can't find anywhere on the watch to enable developer options (similar to tapping on the build number, etc).
Huami said a dev kit would be released at a later date but... well, I don't want to wait , plus they are talking about watchfaces and "web apps" which makes me think it might not be native apps, only web-services anyways...
Anyone got more insights into this?
Thanks!
Its not an android for sure.
found some stuff at pastebin, have a look:
sample 1 - Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

this one looks more interesting - seems like its some JS framework.

I am wondering if there is any developer who is interested in Amazfit smart watches could port the zepp OS from GTR 3 to GTR 2, since Amazfit don't want to update older watches, I have no idea if the hardware is compatible, but there are always great developers here with different and strong knowledge
On the new GTR3 it is possible to program the display to be switched on by wrist movement only during daylight hours, so at night it does not turn on the display ? I have already activated the do not disturb but only limits the vibration when the notifications arrive but not the switching on of the display.
Thanks for the help

inside the zepp app, choose display and brightness, Lift wrist to view info, start time and end time can be changed. Also, from the watch display setttings you can change the mode to all day but you cant edit the time schedule.

You should try the latest Zepp developer's website: https://developer.zepp.com/os/home and join their technical developers' communities to learn how to develop their apps inside their Zepp App Store. Slack Team Room: https://t.zepp.com/t/zepp-community-slack. There is an online global hackathon with multiple technical videos that you can learn and attend live technical sessions. I don't have the links, but I should be able to find them soon.

I think, We can't do it ... GT*2 are smartbands like hardware and GT*3+ are smartwatch hardware, with more CPU clock, more RAM and Flash.
