I bought a Zeblaze Crystal watch. Nice object. Unfortunately, for an error (I tried to use the Arduino suite in order to understand if it would be possible to program it)... I deleted its firmware.
So I searched and I found that the MTK2502 is the common cpu for many models... and that the OS of one can be installed on another.
In this moment I installed on the Zeblaze Crystal the OS of the Oukitel A28 and it works perfectly.
I also tried the OS of the NO.1 G2 Smartwatch and it worked nice. This last has more apps, like a video player for video copied in the watch. But this OS reversed the screen, so it is better for people who wear the phone on the right wrist.
In any case changing the OS is really a simple operation and it took just 5 minutes.
I could say that the Oukitel OS is like the original. Maybe the watch layout a little better, but the same functionalities.
Now I would like to share with you all the possible links to the OS and to the software that it is needed to install it. Maybe we could create a repository for all this OS (for the MTK2502) and, in the future, when someone could understand the ROM layout, also try to add new apps or watch faces.
Obviously, install a new OS can brick your device. I did it without problem, but be aware of the risk.
So, to install the new OS just download the tool for the NO.1 G2 Smartwatch (the file has the OS, the needed tool and the instructions):
https://goo.gl/jpNQdd
If you want, instead, the Oukitel A28 OS, just refer to the link (the OS to be used with the previous tool):
http://depositfiles.com/files/kddf8hbsu
I observed that, in any case, all these OS are the same for what concerns the stability of the connection with the phone.
I add that, to update the OS, you have to:
turn off it
connect the watch with the cable to the PC
start the software and the update process and, when it says something like "searching" press and keep pressed the watch button.
Best
where can i found the Zeblaze Crystal OS? I have an F2 an dwould like to install teh Zeblaze Crystal OS on it
Not Omate X compatible, touchscreen doesn't work. No compatible firmware to flash back to.
where can i found the Zeblaze Crystal OS? Can you send me?

I am sorry, but I have not found the Zeblaze Crystal OS. I have installed the Oukitel A28 (see the link before). It works perfectly.
Hi Marko...firstly, thanks for all the hard work you've put in here.
I own a No.1 G.2 which I bought in December last year. I love it BUT it does not have gesture wake for the screen and you have to press the button for the screen to light up. Apparently the latest firmware allows this or, as you indicate above, you can use the Oukitel a28 firmware for the same effect.
My problem is that I have tried downloading the new firmware for the G2...I can load the scatter file...the software says that the chip in the watch is compatible but when I click start nothing happens. The bar stays at 0%. I've tried it with the watch switched on connected by USB and switched off. Nothing happens. I've tried pressing the power button as you indicate above...nothing. When I connect the USB cable with the watch powered on the notice "Mass Storage" or "Com Port" comes up but when I try clicking on "Com Port" the watch says "Not allow".
This is driving me nuts. Can you help? The watch is still working fine so I haven't damaged the existing firmware but I'd dearly like to have gesture control or the nice a28 firmware.
Hello I came across this threat and had the big hope that this could help me.
I have a A28 Oukitel and I am very happy with it, as for it's cheapness and the way it works and its watchfaces.
Now as the Zeblaze is out that watch has one more nice watchface and what I am missing it has a stopwatch.
I really hoped that I could do it vice versa to marco but unfortunately the Zeblaze firmware is not of the same kind as the firmwares of the No.1 G2 and the A28 they both refer in the config.file to general files based on TinySystem-ROMs but the Zeblaze does refer to a .bin-file.
I am not really an expert in programming so I don't know if this is basically because the Zeblaze supposed to have more RAM 32/64 MB or is it because the firmware is based on another platform?
My question is: is there a way to read them out and transform one to another? Does any kind of programming tool make it understandable to a basic PC-User?
Any kind of deeper knowledge would help me.
@ Stroppytommy:
I am not sure if you got this right. Using the flashtool needs administration rights! And the PC is checking the COM-Port only within milliseconds so it is important that you have turned the watch off! Than after! starting the download you connect the turned off watch to the PC. That should turn the "Searchnig..." hint into naming the COM-Port and the process begins.

Yep...thanks. Your suggestion worked. The new 2016 (No.1.G2) firmware is crap, however. It now shows motion sensing in the menu (for auto gesture on) but selecting that option has no effect on the watch at all.

Will the Oukitel firmware run on the No.1 G2 ???

Hello,
iam interested in buying a round Smartwatch (i didnt like the sqaure style) and boarderless(without a black ring between case and display, but this isnt really needed) for about 100€/$ ... but have some questions before buying (you know it is a lot of money at all)...
- Is it possible to use it as a "full" tethering device (initiate a call via Smartwatch, get Messages AND REPLY SMS and Whatsapp messages shortly, i know the issue with the small keyboard !)?
- Wish to use the pedometer the whole day and may use the heart rate monitor sometimes (highly 1 to 2 times a day) and want to synchronize it via bluetooth (know this is mostly possible with fundowear app or the related alternatives)
- Didnt want to put in a sim, but like to have mobile networking functions! Is it possible to thetering for example the fundowear app and mobile network both parallele via bluetooth? (i know this may results in low datarates if possible, but wish a longer battery life with this.)
- According to this, i wish to use the "ok google" feature to simply search some informations on the internet.
- Like the full android on the smartwatch, so may i want to install some small apps to it... and which apps will be a must have for a smartwatch (may alternatives to preinstalled onces)?
- Wish to have the possibility to create or download a new Watchface (because not all on stock watchfaces are good or may too simple or too colorful, and i already noticed that it isnt simply like for android wear devices).
- And want the feature of swinging the arm to see the watchface for about two times an hour at least!
- On unbox and review videos i have seen the feature of switching to square aspect ratio, i want this feature too!
This questions and suggestions are mostly software or firmware related...
And which Smartwatch has the attribute of Waterresitence (so i can wash my hands with it, not for swimming or diving)? And want the possibility to change the armwrist with a standard clock armwrist!!! And whitch one has more than 2GB free disk space for some apps, pictures and may some voice records or notes?
I know this forum is the right place for all these questions but missing a sticky thread with answers for these or other questions...
So can you tell me which Smartwatch has all the features and functions and a battery for a daily use (about 12h, by using the listened features)???And is it possible to buy a cheap second charging cable (most are using the 4pin magnetic plug, may they are compatible)???
Thank you very much!

Found this on Youtube for costomize Watchfaces (Smartwatch Ticks - Playlist Customize Watchfaces Tips)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGZLicZ6A2vUbzBPkLGXcSffQ90OPmyc6
but didnt know if this is the same coding for other Smartwatches like KW88 or No.1 G6 or Y3 or DM368 or LF16 ... please help anyway
Thank you very much! I think the chinese Smartwatch thing is too frustrating at this time
This video may help you cut through a lot of the confusion so you can focus on which type of smartwatch will really fit your needs best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvOvGThb3i4
Hi guys,
I bought before 2 weeks a No.1 D5+ via Gearbest without any problems. Watch is working and really nice.
My problem is, that I want more a smartphone assistent instead of a stand alone watch (which the D5+ is disigned for).
I'm using the watch without SIM card. I thought that the D5+ will fulfill the requirements for companion or stand alone watch, but it is more a stand alone watch.
Do someone know that there are any custom roms for the D5+ (MTK6580) out there which are providing all the features, also of companion/bluetooth watches?
My main searched features are:
- Text notifications display
- Call notification + accept or decline incoming call
- BT call with watch via smartphone
- Music control via watch of smarphone music player app (i have a sony xperia Z5 compact)
- of course, flexible watch faces
... all other features are very welcome
If not, are there any other companion apps for smartphone usable which are working with the watch helper (on the watch) compatible? Or do somebody know, how I can disable the bluetooth connection alert from the watch helper app? I know that there is a Xposed module usable, but on my z5c (Android 7) there is no Xposed provided yet.
Thank's for your hints, advices and information.
Greetz,
Marc

Thanks for the link old_fart.
I red a little bin it this, but there are no Custom roms which I was searching for. But some interesting things. I will stay on watching this posts.
If someone knows complete new Custom rons for these smartwatches I would appreciate the information.
Hi all. Decided to take a stab at a SmartWatch. Didn't want to spend much and got a really cheap one. I guess you get what you pay for.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CQRBNXT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unlike my phones I didn't expect that a high-end watch was needed. I really just wanted something to tell time, answer calls and view SMS/messages as they come in. While this watch is capable of those things, the configuration is poor and there seems to be no way to properly setup options between the watch and my headset. Whenever both are connected all audio wants to route through the watch - which I don't want.
So I did a little digging and got this info. Never did anything on a watch before (though I'd expect it to be similar to an Android phone) but here's what I got below. Also, there seems to be no way to enable USB Debugging on this device. So I'm not sure how to get any more info. It does connect as an MTK device, but I'm not sure about finding which type it is. As a result I can't do any searches for any custom ROM or any way to root this.
Secret Menu Code: *#3646633#
MENU OPTIONS
DEVICE -> Set UART / MM Color Adjust / DCM mode / BQB mode
MISC -> Memory dump / MRE
Under MRE I've got:

Any assistance with this would be great. I'd love if I can root and install a custom ROM to maybe get a more user friendly interface, but if not I guess it would be like $150 for a partly decent watch. My other concern is the memory size: 472324. If that's bytes then it's less than 1MB of storage.......
Thanks in advance everyone.
Well it looks like I'm going to park this or give it away. Seems like with these you get what you pay for - will have to invest $150 or somewhere there in a fairly decent watch. Maybe the Huawei Watch 2. Once I have one of those there would probably be no need to root or do anything else. But it was interesting while I had it. Guess this one was a bit too cheap to get any assistance, so will request that the thread be closed. Thanks all the same.
Hi Team, I am new to smartwatches, did some research and wanted to get a TicWatch, but ended up buying Timex iConnect.
I wanted to know if I can install a Custom ROM like on a mobile phone on this watch. Want to know if I can install Google Wear OS on it?
If I connect the watch to a USB, there is no Developer options sort of option on the watch to enable USB Debugging. Not sure what OS the watch runs. Anybody got a chance to inspect this watch? Please share your inputs and ideas.
If there is a page detailing how to install Google WeasOS on any smartwatch, please share.

First of all, WearOS is no.
Why? I don't even know the specs and it is closed source. I feel like Ticwatch is better choice than this.
If you've got the specs (Likely MTK2xx CPU), please send me here.
Hello,
I am totally new to smartwatches.
I have been reading the forums but I recognize I am having problems to understand; so, I beg your pardon if my question has been answered before... or if it is so obvious that I shouldn't being making it.
So: I know there apps or programs to make watchfaces for Full Android Smartwatches; for Wear OS Smartwatches; for Tizen OS Smartwatches; or for the Apple Watch.
But: does it exist any app or program to create watchfaces for smartwatches like the one I have (Kospet Tank T1).
I mean: I don't even know which operating system is running the watch.
And, if creating the custom watchface is possible: how can we upload it to the smartwatch?
Any help will be much appreciated and, as I said in the beginning, I am sorry is this is not a proper question.
just another usual "chiness watch". most of it have a custom os, based on rtos. may have a different as watch faces formats, as methods to upload.
start searching at the app. I mean, it uses fit cloud pro, so try to find watch faces to this app and methods to upload. if you'll be lucky, than start to search editor. if no - you'll be forced to investigate watch face format of your watch and method to upload by yourself. it's hard if you newbe but not impossible.
