Other Smartwatches -> Other CompagnionSmartWatches and Other Standalone SmartWatches
Hello, I would find it less confusing if you would divide the Forum Other SmartWatsches in Other Compagnion SmartWatches and Other Standalone SmartWatches.

Do you have experience with developing apps for 'no OS' smartwatch?
Why am I asking? I have 2 (smart?)watches ->AWETEK AGP203G and Kids Tracker Watch T22
There is no OS on it, so no SDK. Is possible to develop for watches without SDK?
Thank you for answer.
Since I have a small shop selling smartwatches I'm looking to get the best out of them.
Now I have a couple of Omate Racers, in their app you can install apps to the Omate Racer smartwatch. But I found out that I can install these apps on several other Chinese smartwatches.
I was wondering if we can create these apps ourselves? Is there any information on "VXP apps"? I've tried googling, but nothing related to watches comes up...
MTK MRE, that is probably what I'm looking for...
You need the SDK. I used to have it but deleted it when I quit soft development but you can get it here.
Hey Lokifish!
Thanks for the info, I also registered on MediaTek to get their SDK, but I'm still waiting on their reply. But I'll give this a try, thanks!
Hello Android Head Units Junkies,
a very great and big Knowledge Base is it here around our Android Head Units.
Amazing Guys with many knowledge,
Programmer, Modder and ROM Builder...
What do you think about a little bit more overview in that Area?
Most of all is in the Big HuiFei - 2 DIN Pure Android 4.2.2/4.4.2/4.4.4 RK3066/RK3188 CarStereo Radio Head Unit Thread.
over 1942 Pages and over [B]#19425 Threats[/B].
Sometimes it is hart to find the right page with the Answer to the Question what who has one or the other people here.
Some questions are going down, in so many questions...
Some great Tips & Tricks for Hardware modding on different threads...
What do you think about, a little bit more structure here?
Create some Moderator's here, to take a look for it?
for Example:
> Android Auto
> Android Auto General
> Android Head Units
> Knowledge Base (Wiki,...)
> Original MCU and ROM`s
> Custom and Modded ROM's
> Custom and Modded APP's
> Hardware Tips & Tricks (Soldering,...)
> Navigation
> Nice App's for a Head Unit
> Which device is it ?

The NU3001/5002 should also have their own Forum below Android Head Units, as they also have their own custom roms and the source code is freely available.
"Android Head Units" generally have no connection with Google's "Android Auto" system, they are just automotive HUs that run Android (and so far are all Chinese, with no sign of that changing, IMO due to legal liability issues).
So a parent forum IMO should not be named "Android Auto". Name is something like "Android Automotive" or "Android in the Car" or similar to get that idea across.
If HU's, like Pioneer 4100NEX that run "Android Auto" are discussed in the "Android Auto General" subforum, as they seem to be at present, some confusion will arise. I'm not sure of best name to explain this. A long and unwieldy name might be something like "Google's Android Auto and compatible Headunits".
Yes, you are right.
But anybody (Admin or a Moderator) create this Part ANDROID HEAD UNITS under Android Auto.
What i mean to bring a little bit more Structure in the Area for ANDROID HEAD UNITS.
A lot of Interesting things and solutions going under in the Big 1945 Pages Thread.
May be its a silly question but surprisingly there is not a single article on the web about this!?
Well, Apart from the BASIC difference between them, which is, one is android os and another is android wear os, what are the pros and cons? What more? please help?
I understand -
1. OS difference.
2. Watchface limitations and watchface functionality limitation. Android wear watchfaces can be touched to change various feature depending on watch face which so far no Android watchfaces can do.
what else?
I've ordered one of the countless cheap Chinese MT2502 based smartwatches, the 'K88H Plus' which looks like it's brand new. I was seduced by the great looks but then reading the various reviews the firmware looks pretty common across many of these devices and pretty bad. So then I set about reading the various MediaTek development docs and it seems like the embedded os, frameworks and API's are going to be out-of-the-box MT LinkIt and the UI and all functionality of the watch is actually controlled by one or more VXP's which the manufacturers are including in their ROMs.
Has anybody looked at this in any detail ? Am I on the right lines here ?
So I'm thinking, I'll write a VXP which is a mini watch OS with watchface, built in continuous step counting and notifications handling to create a better overall experience.
Has anybody else tried this ? Can you use the USB charging cable to remote debug the VXP app i.e. will the watch behave like the Linkit Assist 2502 board ? Thanks, grateful for any pointers.
Did you figure this out? Or got any further? Very curious getting into app development for watches with this type of microcontroller (so not just watch faces). Two minds can do more than one! For as far as I've seen, the MRE 3.0 SDK can actually make an installable app, still playing with that.
Tag me in pls ... 3 is better than 2.
