It looks like a nice improvement over Amazfit Verge. The hardware platform seems to be quite powerful as well.
Maybe someone can help me with some questions:
Is it based on a modified version of Android?
Is it possible to install Android apps?
Any chance to have some custom ROMs like for the Verge?
Thank you very much
From what I heard and based on my experience with mine,
Yes, it runs Android 8.1 . Actually a mix of Wear and regular android.
I guess that in the future we could install modified ROMs , manual says that if you install a modified rom your guarantee may be voided. My guess is that they have seen that coming ...
About installing apps I can't even get to activate adb, but it's virtually possible.
My 2c.
PD: I archieved adb access installed play store and poco launcher . Also discovered that the EU version has NFC but disabled. Pics Attached!
Worst Huami smartwatch ever... Very bad battery life, adb disabled by default (it can be enabled from Huami Lab hidden menu but it reverts in every reboot), you can install some apps as the watch is ARM based but since it's very quite easy to enter into bootloop after installing something, I don't recommend playing with the watch.
There is an unofficial TWRP by a Chinese dude which is not public AFAIK, and this allows installing Magisk root, Magisk modules,...
Truth to be said, roms we have are version 1.0.0.0. I'd rate them as pre- alpha versions. Let's see how this device will do after few updates.
At this stage, what kind of apps is possibile to install? Are they permanent or will disappear at reboot?
I hope there will be a custom ROM in the next future to fully customize device behavior.
Nexo
Hi,
I bought Amazfit Nexo for my wife. White model. It is wvery light and comfortable in use instead the quite big diameter (concerning women )
I was able to set eSIM in Orange, Poland (Amazfit support says that it is impossible ). It works wery well. My wife is able to receive and make phone calls, receive SMS' (it is unable to send SMS).
Lead by some information found in the Internet I discovered the "Lab" section, but... There is no option to set anything in Android settings.
Is there any chance for different software?
I can do almost with smartphones, but in smartwatches I am beginner.
Can you give me some instructions, show the tools and the way to change ROM in smartwatch...?
@mrosi Enable adb in Android settings (not watch settings) and you should be able to install APKs, some AW2 ones even work with it, but watchfaces are gone after a reboot (you must install them again).

Offtopic: Hi Saratoga, for you, which would be the best option to choose from amazfit smartwatches? I'm looking for the best, and now they have many options and I'm confused.
Thanks you!

I bought the Amazfit Pace (used, second Hand ) for dirt cheap ( for 25 bucks ) .
And because i came from the Mi Band 3 previus... Its a nice upgrade and a good device for self education on smartwatches ( thanks to XDA ) .
But my next one in a "a few" month should be a better, faster one. With buttons ( because touch inputs while cycling is crap @ serius sports activyties )
Maybe the Stratos 2 or newer
ola pessoal tudo bem, estou com um grande problema, meu smartwatch amazfit nexo ligou e travou na tela de inicializacao e nao sai alguem poderia me ajudar porfavor.
Hello.

Below the link of my modded MiFit app that forces the Amazfit Bip language to English even if your phone language is different.
Works everiythings except the stuff related to Google account sign-in.
v2:
- new language spoof method
- fixes crash due to wrong floating point conversion
v3:
- fixed Google Map view
Rel 3.3.0 v3
[url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=11ETppkQu1x539UinA3N0JxTlZ_7JtMJQ[/URL]
Thanks for that.
Seems OK for me for the language.
But still have re connexion problems when I go far from the phone and come back... I thought updating to the last system version would help, but not...
Any advice?
Edit : note that I'm on Oreo AOSP and I can't find the permission to let the app launch itself. Not in the security menu... Maybe it's that.
I tried to link the watch in the BT android menu, maybe I should deconnect.
Do I have to pair it & use the unlock phone option?

Here, there is just some Modded apk (apps for Android) to by-pass and force the watch in english.
Norrmal version still let it in chinese and pass it to Chinese each time... it won't change as an english version seems to be out now.

I'm not sure we understand each other. As far as I've seen on the last versions, for Android :
Phone ENG -> Mi Fit ENG ->BIP ENG
Phone Other -> MiFit Other or ENG -> Bip Chinese
I let others confirm that but it's was I've seen for now (note that I have the BIP for 2 weeks and I could be wrong....).
To be clear, I don't see anyreason for the MiFit for Iphone to pass it in ENG if your system is not in ENG

Ok.
So If i get the International Version instead of the Chinese Version of the Bip, will I have the same issue ? Does it behave differently regarding the language switch ?

I don't think your problem is related to the mod. I can acces without problems to the 'Screen Unlock' option. In any case try to uninstall and then install the original app and check if the problem is still there.

You can install official 3.1.8, update the firmware and then install my modded version again.
I will update my version as soon a new official version is available on Play Store.

Hi Amazfit lovers
1.Are the any news that the additional features (f.ex. remote control of airpurifier, or additional sport modes) from the AF pace 2 will be introduced on 1gen?
2.Maybe a port from the original 2nd Gen could work on the 1st?
3.Are the any differences from electronic perspective (ram, storage, processor) between the versions? (I'm not talking about the elegant version without GPS)
Regards
1. Those things are already in the cn ( or pacified ) version, not in the US version.
2. As most of the things are the same, it could be possible
3. There is no elegant version without GPS.
When I read the thread about the ROM PACEficator the I see the US is available to install. Why do you think it's not possible?
I think you don't understand what you are talking about.
1. The Amazfit PACE is the US version of the Amazfit.
2. The original US firmware ( 1.3.5F that comes for the Pace) does not come with smarthome, or any newer stuff.
3. The Pacified Rom is a Chinese Dev ROM that has translations for other languages.
So no, there is still no original US ROM with smarthome connectivity.
But as it is possible to get the far more advanced CN ROM onto the Pace, it would surprise me if there won't be a back port of the Stratos ROM.

You're 100% right.
I have the official 1.3.5. few things annoy me in the current SW and I see they are fixed in the PACEified ROM or the 2nd Gen Amazfit
With the xiaomi phone I have already figured out what to do, but the smart watch I'm learning.
Unfortunately there is no "full" (at least what I saw) tutorial explaining every aspect of the phone... Form basic stuff to unlocking bootloader and flashing of ROM. The knowledge is scattered and sometimes misleading or not up to date.
Hello everyone!
I put myself in a problem here, my mum wanted a new phone and I suggest led Lenovo Z5 as her best option.
I put my money into my alipocket and I was about to buy it when I noticed that there isn't any official international ver of it.
I wouldn't mind the Chinese room if it means I get updates, but I don't know if I can actually install Google play on it..I can't see any info on Zmui
Also if I bought the Chinese ver,will I be able to flash a official international stock rom on it and receive OTA update?
Or will the same idea work if I bought the rooted ver they offer?
about z5
i am a chinese and i bought a Z5 about 3 weeks ago.
The most attractive part of the phone is the 1080P LED screen after using a AMOLED for a long time (worried about my eyesight)
I've never used a ZUI before (i've MI 3 && OP3T). Before buying the phone, my friend tell me about the bad impact of ZUI to his Z2 (AnTuTu Tester remark is lower a lot than a aosp and some roms ) which means the optimization of ZUI may be bad.
After getting the phone, the ZUI annoy me ... Though the ZUI 3.9Ver is based on 8.1 with GAPPS in it, the settings is too poor and the gesture is not well enough. Although with a 6G size RAM, it killed app even you lock it (the utilization is low means most of ram is useless ....). I dislike the ZUI default launcher(ZUI launcher) and replace it with Pixel launcher.
About Root: the phone do not support root or you Warranty is go, but you still have way to root it
About OTA: the rom support OTA if it is not rooted
hmmm last i cannot find any rom like los to flash (that's really shame)
I am really satisfied with the screen ( it must be the best in screen in this price )
Hi
I just bought the phone and it will arrive next week.
I have been really attracted by the looks.
I think I can leave with ZUI.
But tell me how is the performance of the camera both in good but also low light conditions?
Hi i'm from Spain and i love the desing of this phone levono z5 but i want to know if it comes with ZUI i could change it to android, is this posible?
https://club.lenovo.com.cn/thread-4488474-1-1.html. Maybe this? Magisk root.

Hi, i am assuming you dont like ZUI and want to change to stock android,
Well the phone is still new to the market, i have not seen any developer working on a rom yet, as of now there are no other options then using the stock operating system.
FYI, i am using Zuk z2 pro with custom rom from mokeedev which is also stock android. I got my Lenovo Z5 last week, there is lot of chinese bloatware in there, so i havent switched yet, i am also waiting for a different android operating system. hope this helps.
I bought one from DX.com
You can switch the language to English, but there will be a few Chinese elements (eg. on the keyboard)
These can be easily fixed by installing a 3rd party keyboard, for example.
Mine didn't come with any Google apps but I was able to install the Google Play Store from this APK:

It supports project treble. Some users flashed the stock rom through that. But I think official engineers never try hard in bug fix.
Thanks everyone about the information! If only Lenovo used Stock android like Umidigi Z2! It would have been excellent to use
But is Lenovo z5 going to have a Android P update? If so then wouldn't that optime the phone in the future?
Or is it possible to wait for a working stock android rom for Lenovo z5 ?
Another thing, my mum loves the super bright screen on Lenovo and it's big, she says she wants a lot of her apps running in the background and she needs USB C
I don't trust Umidigi phones, Oppo A5 is over priced with no fingerprint sensor and low ram, vivo phones don't have USB C and xiaomi phones are just darn ugly.
is there any twrp in our lenovo z5?

Lenovo Z5 ROM problem
:crying:Good afternoon, I bought a lenovo z5 arrived yesterday, when I called it I noticed that there was no software of the ZUI, ie, it has a rom that is not for this phone, does not match the notifications with the notch, has navigation bar etc. nothing matches, what do I do? Does anyone know where I can download the appropriate ROM for it?
i bought it at geekbuying
I'm in the same exact situation as Paulacfmsimoes, bought the z5 from geekbuying and it came preinstalled with a butchered frankestein version of the stock rom. Its bootloader is unlocked as well. I'm desperately trying to find a way to install the normal stock rom version, so if anyone has an idea, please help!
Please HELP!!!
I Deleted some important system files on the phone and now it does not torn on.
i did managed to install the TWRP recovery so if one of you guys hes this phone and you can upload me a system backup with TWRP you will save my ass!!
i bought this phone to my girlfriends birthday and now its dead
pleaseee replay and help me
This would be the absolute perfect time for one of you guys to help us out. (both us idiots that bought the phone from geekbuying with that beaten down custom rom and cohavio as well). I anyone with ZUI 3.9 that has the chinese and english version of the rom could make a back-up, that would be awesome!

I don't have the phone yet. But its possible that I will have it for a short time. If you tell me exactly how did you install TWRP (steps and the image of TWRP you used) and a proof that it works I may be able to help you.
If anyone knows chinese, I think I found the solution to all our problems. I stumbled across this forum where the guys have a tool originally designed to unbrick / and or return the phone back to stock.

Hi,
I've just bought a Huawei Y5p (DRA-LX9) with native Android 10.1.0.122, and trying to install GMS on it.
The Lz App doesn't work (error message when clicking on the icon), and I suppose that it is due to my firmware version. So is it possible to downgrade the firmware to a supported version of Android 10? And of course how to do such a thing ... (tuto or video)
Thanks a lot.
The actual solution to have the GMS is to use the VMOS App, but it's very annoying to switch between desktop....

Hello,
I recently bought Stratos+ and it was working fine. It requested updates so I allowed them.
Few hours after updating to the latest firmware, the buttons are misbehaving and the touchscreen stopped working. (see video)
Except for the buttons and the touchscreen, all other accessible features seem to be working just fine.
Is there any solution to this problem? It seems software connected.
Please help.

You should use Tool_All_In_One. From there, you can control somehow your device. Reboot for example.

Thanks for your suggestions, I tried everything even installing the hybrid mod by @Saratoga79 .
Nothing worked, it's probably a hardware issue.
If there's a way to control the device via phone or its buttons please share.
I can't even use the heart tracker this way. It barely works with watchdroid, but it's not convenient at all.
I don't know which hybrid Mod from Everest you have installed but you should post your issue in the relevant "subject" in the forum asking for support. I guess that if you have installed a custom ROM like Everest, you should be able to send adb commands and restore from scrtach everything. My advise: post your problem on the forum and provide as much info as you have (model, version, etc.. ). Looks like you have a Stratos (not an S3 at least), so the forum is here for the hybrid ROM:
