[ROM] AmazeROM 2.0 for Pace - v2.6.6.0 - Amazfit

AmazeROM 2.0 Pace v2.6.x.y - The First Flashable TWRP ROM for Pace!
- Flash directly from TWRP;
- Based on latest stable/release CN firmware version;
- Improved Customization Package for better support to English (weekdays and voice alerts in English!);
- Future updates can be done using "delta" updates just like stock ROM: easier to download and maintain.

It can be flashed to both versions of Pace: International (A1612) and Chinese (A1602). After flashing, the ROM will display the watch model as A1602, it's normal. You can revert to stock ROM anytime you want.
Once TWRP is installed, copy the ROM files to the TWRP folder in the watch's internal memory then:
1. Flash AmazeROM_2P;
2. Flash AmazeROM_2P_CUSTOMPACK (optional, only needed if you are flashing the first version, next versions have it included);
3. Wipe Cache/Dalvik;
4. Reboot;
5. Wait until optimizing apps finishes, then turn off watch for a while, then turn it back on (it will make sure sensors are reset).
The kernel used in TWRP is a bit buggy now, sometimes it doesn't refresh the screen when tapping buttons. If it happens, do a quick swipe vertically on screen or use the back/home button at the bottom if you are not sure about what happened and want to start the process all over again. More info in the included ReadMe.
PS: if you do not install CUSTOMPACK then TWRP will be replaced by stock recovery next boot, it's normal. This way you can use future OTAs just like stock ROM. If you install CUSTOMPACK then OTAs won't work, you have to wait until an update for AmazeROM is released.
It's the first version, so I have included a script to flash TWRP for you, there is a version for macOS/Linux and another one for Windows. Once you flash TWRP you can flash AmazeROM.
Known bug: Prototype-Source has some broken widgets when screen is on, it's Huami's fault. Fixed in 2.6.5.0!

Starting from v2.6.4.2, I will release only updates, so you must have the previous version running: either stock CN firmware or AmazeROM with Customization Pack installed. The installation automatically updates the system (just like OTA) and then installs the updated custom pack for the new version.
If you ever want to go back to stock again, flash the full version (older one) and do not install Custom Pack, of course.

Thanks for your efforts.
Dear Ifom could you please explain about the benefits off TWRP.
And I think the installation of this Rom (in compare of other ones) is a little difficult.

---

Just tested upgrading to 2.6.4.2 from the twrp installed rom by the system update (as stock rom), with twrp, no issue at all, this is very good !

---

Updated to v2.6.4.2.

---

Added update to 2.6.5.0.

---

Thanks, for your work. I decided to move to this from stock international. The install of TWRP and the full ROM plus the 2 updates went smoothly.
I'm thinking though the libs on this version may be different from either the old Pace or new Stratos as APK watchfaces have issues on either version

WatchFace libs from Pace CN 2.6.5.0 are the same as Stratos INTL 2.3.8.0 = both need updated APK watchfaces to work correctly. AmazeROM binaries are 100% stock CN, only assets were added/replaced to improve English support.

When I try the new Stratos version of Carlos's watchfaces the watchface apk crashes when launched and on the Pace version the screen is messed up (mostly black).

---

For now I reflashed the full version without custom pack so APK watchfaces working again (Pace version)

Again, it was something else: CustomPack is only used in the first version (2.6.4.1) to add the additional files needed for better English support, the next versions have it included so if you are on 2.6.4.2 or 2.6.4.5 you have it installed anyway.

---

OK, I didn't mean to imply that CustomPack was the cause, I was just getting closer to stock (2.6.4.1) to get the APK watchfaces working again.
Anyone else on latest CN rom that have the APKs working?
Update: just to confirm I have now OTA updated to 2.6.4.2 and then to 2.6.5.0 and can confirm that the new Stratos version of APK watchfaces work. I don't know why it wasn't working when I was when I was using AmazeRom method but I'm happy with the CN stock for now.

---

Anyone else had a problem when updating from: AmazeROM v2.6.4.1
to v2.6.4.2 ?
I get an error 7 in TWRP (not sure if I have 3.2.3-7 or 3.2.3-6)
Even when I try to skip one update and go strait to: v2.6.5.0
Still error 7.

---

You should use the latest TWRP, the one included in the ZIP file works, it's the one I use with my Pace right now.

Updated to v2.6.6.0
Probably this is the best AmazeROM version ever:
- Based on latest stable CN firmware;
- All Xiaomi integration apps;
- Full support to English, including weekday names and voice alerts during activities;
- All features found in Stratos (excluding VO2max and swim activities, of course): all activities and music control;
- Updated GPS firmware and HR algorithm;
- Fully compatible with stock firmware, no mods = no probs.
