Hello there everyone so as many of you may know or own watches like the various makes of the dz09 and others have the same software and Samsung s look with slight differences like icon style and background.this makes my wonder ,how hard it would be to change the software ? because if the various company's can add backgrounds and watch faces why can't we.I have no knowledge of coding so I'm entrusting you the community to figure out how to mod these watches. A lot of them have micro SD slots and micro usbs to transfer data or hacks to change them and a lot of the ones with SD cards have a file browser so I can't imagine its that hard to use the file browser and explore the watches root directories the software isn't open source though so get creative I guess
Good luck!!!
I'm wondering about this as well. I just saw your post after posting my own thread about changing the firmware or adding new watch faces to my DZ09 smartwatch. I have only one link (that was pretty hard to find) that could help you with this:
niezarmsan.blogspot.my/2015/12/how-to-install-firmware-on-dz09-mtk6260.html
See how it goes if you're going to try flashing it, and please make sure to tell me about it. Thanks!
Never mind. Misread OP. Please delete.

Already the watch-faces are replaceable, how do you like the first xda concept for mtk6260A watchphones?
Very Nice!
How can you push this to a generic U8 clone?

For a U8 clone, I haven't studied yet its firmware, tell me what kind of processor has your watch, eventually do the steps from tutorial I posted here on this page link, or send me a firmware and let me get a look

hello
I have a RWATCH M26 and thinking it was internally equal to Elegance U8, installed the U8 firmware in order to have the language in Portuguese. Now the capacitive buttons are exchanged and all touch screen works in reverse.
Does anyone have the firmware for the M26 or can help me find it? I've contacted the seller, but has not
excuse my english

Rwatch M26 information
Found, using Google:
Alleged manufacturer--Go to GlobalMarket.com, and look up 'Shenzhen YQT Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.'. ALSO, there are two downloadable APK files (for configuration, etc.) in Google Play. Search 'Rwatch'. The product listing pictures are green circles.
I bought one of these. It works fine, IF you have patience.
MY problems with the product, as I live in the United States of America, are:
1. Poor grammar makes many parts of the instruction sheet and software difficult to understand. This is a common problem with TOO MANY products coming from China.
2. If you want to answer a call on your phone, swipe down on the upper edge, and tap to turn off Bluetooth, remember? This SHOULD be an automatic function so that the device used to answer a call keeps control of the call until it is finished.
3. Their website is only in CHINESE. This (among others) is an unprofessional mistake, and would have been prevented by preparation BEFORE their products were to be released for export.
4. Their advertising/product literature should contain links to software/websites.
If ANY manufacturer in China (or any other country in Asia) wants repeat business and significant market penetration in the USA, they should make sure there is a separate website and product software option for users to choose US-English. Instructions and website text should be written by someone who is FLUENT in US-English (and not someone who barely passed English in school OR using a translation site). There should be a clear separation and option to choose either US-English and Chinese text (in this case), on the device and website. The same applies to any other predominant language. Translation sites online do NOT work well, in all too many cases.
Personally, I am using this product as an inexpensive introduction to wearable technology (with my Sony Galaxy Note 4/AT&T VERSION). I have no intention of buying this brand again, unless there are significant improvements to features, flexibility, instructions, user information, software/firmware updates, and the FLUENCY of its website/software/instructions.
I WILL buy a more expensive, and feature-filled watch in 2015, to go with a new Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
I have never submitted a fully documented report to a client with anything other than impeccable grammar and spelling. It is a point of personal and professional pride. Anything less would be akin to halitosis and an insult to the recipient. We, as buyers, should expect the same consideration from overseas manufacturers.
I hope this reply is of help to you. By the way, I always allow for language gaps between individuals, and have infinite patience in that regard.. <wink>
Enjoy your new toy.

Thanks alot for your extende review! I completely agree with you and cant deny that other brands like Uwatch faces the same problems..
from all of those ''manufacturers'' I personally prefer ZGPAX. They also have videos on youtube and good site in English etc.
Rwatch M26 Manufacturer
I refer you to the first paragraph of my original post:
Alleged manufacturer--Go to GlobalMarket.com, and look up 'Shenzhen YQT Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.'.
Good Luck!
Any news about firmware for m26 ?
How do you do the difference between u8 and m26 ?
I thought I bought an U8 (aliexpress) but the firmware is M26 and the name of the watch when I sync BT is M26, i'm a little bit afraid about flashing u8 firmware ^^

Firmware update process??
I downloaded the zip file provided by member whojan however do not know the procedure for updating the firmware. I installed the usb driver and the watch is recognised as a serial port. However there does not appear to be a method to enable the firmware upgrade on the watch. With the watch connected by usb with its power switched off the pc detects it as a drive, unfortunately if I click on the drive I get asked to insert a disk.
I have version 9 of the firmware running on the watch, I recently met another person with the same watch running version 10. The main difference with 10 was the display was much brighter, with my current version 9 the display is unreadable under outside light conditions, would be great to get the update.
Software for R-watch m26

and this: http://yun.baidu.com/wap/shareview?...B03&page=1&num=20&fsid=61093581488136&third=0
anyone knows, how to backup watches??
(sorry for my English)
Hi! I've the M26_OPT.FN2.V011 firmware version, someone know if it's the last version, and how I can update it? And I use the M26 with my Galaxy Note 4 with lollipop 5.0.1 works good except the camera feature, find SM and I have FC with Mediatek smart device APK with all incoming calls! Does anyone have the same problems???
Hello, the two smartwatches bring the same MTK chip. I think you can install any firmware factory for either . But I 'm looking zgpax FIRMWARE s29 . If anyone has the firmware please put a link or something to download and install.
I tried to install app with extension .vxp , tells me this ok , but not the application Appears in any place (appears mre folder name) , anyone know how to install ?.
thanks
Let's hope that ypu will have an aswer, personally I'm having no hope. Maybe they have the same hardware, but firmware is different, for exemple, on my S29 I don't have the dropdown list with notification, when I slide it down, I get the pedometer.
Maybe (I said "maybe" ) let's hope we can put S28 firmware on S29, in that way we can turn airplane mode ON and save some battery when we use the smartwatch without a SIM card
How you install applications? ??
How can I read ROM from one watch and write to another?
wallpaper
how can i change the wallpaper?
thks
Can't install app either

I was also able to get a .vxp onto my S29, but I receive the following error when trying to Install the app: "Failed to start application"
Has anyone else tried installing vxp apps on the S29? Any assistance would be appreciated.
there is no way to put apps, its like a feature phone, only thru firmware updates
On some store sites, it says the S28 is capacitive and the S29 is resistive touch screen, can you confirm either is true?
I doubt it's resistive touch. That's really old tech.
airplane mode + bluetooth

I think that I saw somewhere that many of these bluetooth watch devices that utilize the same chip run on Nucleus OS which I think is closed source. I don't know the specifics of this particular watch. Other websites say that this watch runs on custom OS written by ZGPAX. I hope that you are able to get the source code and make the watch even better. Good luck!

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a gt08 smartwatch by irulu off of Amazon. I have an iphone but wanted to get it fully integrated. Right now I can only receive call notifications. BluetoothNotifier app in cydia does not do anything but make the notification sound when an alert comes in from an app. Currently I cannot get texts to come up at all. Is there any way to get this integrated with iphone?
Are there also any alternate ROMs for this watch yet? For instance can I get android kit-kat running on it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try the mediatek smartdevice app .

I've tried that, but it does not see the device.
Did anyone find custom roms for this device?
I even looked on "needroms" but nothing. Maybe just the official rom but that's it.
try the app at the link below, it is the one designed for mtk6260A watches (as GT08)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.szfunyun.btnotification
as well you can flash any firmware designed for a mtk6260A like DZ09, GV08, LX36, Iradish Y6 etc, each of them has a different type of menu design, watch faces and so on
Yeah, the only thing is I have an iphone 5s

The find my phone feature doesn't seem to work. Simply tells me cannot find the device. #2. Can i diwnload a cool different watch face? Like something digital with battery percentage date and time etc..? If anyone has an answer to these two questions, id be so greatful.

Good question.

I have bought smartwatch q18 two mounths ago and just now i understand that i can change the face of the smartwatch. But the problem is that there are only 3 basic faces on this model smartwatch and i want to add more. Does anyone know how to add more faces on my watch!? I tried with downloading ready samples from the Internet and upploading them on my phone. but when i tried to add them on my watch by connection with my phone with mediatek smartdevice app, it didn't work! Is there another way to add them which will be successful or the problem is in my smartwatch. Or is there way to connect my smartwatch with my computer and then to add more faces? Please help me if you can!
Thank you all!
I am sorry for my expression. but i am not englishman!
Hi Sorry You Cant Add More Watch Faces But If You Send Me Your Firmware I Think I Can Replace Your watchfaces or edit some icons (Not sure i can do that cause some firmwares are highly compressed)
