I really hope I'm in the right place... Anyways, how do you install apps on the Amazfit Bip? I've been trying for a while now. I've figured out how to do watchfaces from the Play Store, but I can't figure out how to do the apps. I need help very soon!

P.S. I'm new to XDA so please don't be mean
Hello and welcome. But you cannot install apps on Bip, it uses a proprietary ROM/firmware. AFAIK you can only add custom watchfaces if you use Android on your phone so far.
I just bought an amazfit GTR watch. I want the watch reflect prayer timings and qibla direction on watch screen without connecting to smartphone. just wanna know if it's possible? it will be very helpful in daily routine.
I did it on pace by installing "prayer gadget" and importing data from phone.
Hi, could you please guide me how to do that?
I am using gtr 47
Thanks
you should install this app on your watch:

but I dont know its possible on GTR.
try it and report.

Can't install any application on GTR as it's OS is simple and not android based I think.
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.

These are really nice and they are working if I change them via Notify & fitness app manually. Unfortunately, Notify & fitness cannot sync my workouts at the moment...
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

The code name of the device is already known - DongTingHu may be Bip2, Global version is A1806 not Bip S A1821 which code name is Tonlesap.
What is the best app to use on Android for the Amazfit Bip S please?

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

I'm sorry, but GTR doesn't have that function. At least, the global version.

hello, somebody?
You cannot, this watch has no internal memory, you will install nothing on it.

if i don't have mistake - the watches of samsung its enbale to install, corret?
many thanks.
how i can know before i buying - if the watch have internal memory and know that i will can install another apps?? its very important for me.
thanks again.
Huawei does not support custom apps as well, however the newest one is about to support this feature. I do not know about Samsung, new ones sure as they started to collaborate with Google and use WearOS, as for Amazfit there is 5 models that will let you to install apps: Pace, Verge, Nexo, Stratos, Stratos 3.
The only way to know for sure is to watch reviews on YouTube or test yourself in the mall (I have MiStore in my city mall).
