SOFT BRICK OR STUCK in a BOOTLOOP? REVERT TO STOCK
TWRP is required to use the following backup. Please make sure you still have it installed and are able to access it.
Download the stock OS backup Here http://www.4shared.com/zip/dxnYQfmpba/stock_zgpax.html
You need to be able to access your SD Card, if not you may need to use an external SD. Navigate to /SD Card/TWRP/Backup (or create the folder if it doesn't exist). Next you need to make a folder called Stock ZGPAX. Then your are going to place the files you downloaded here from the link above.
IF you cannot access your SD Card, try using an external MicroSD card. You will have to make the /TWRP/Backup Directory and Folder yourself... and then place the files in there manually.
Finally, you will REBOOT into TWRP and Navigate to the restore option. Look for your folder there and restore this backup.
.
.
.
ROOT
Just install "framaroot.apk or sideload to the watch's internal storage and install - Do not ask for links, just google it
.
.
.
RECOVERY
To install TWRP, you can download and install RECOVERY TOOLS for Free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
Next download to Internal SD This TWRP image https://www.dropbox.com/s/05818ubth99f2x9/twrprecovery.img and UI.Zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/f59htzer97tvliz/ui.zip
--Open Recovery Tools - Select FLASH OTHER RECOVERY - Locate and Select the twrp.IMG file you downloaded and hit YES. Continue to flash...
--Download UI.zip Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52782588&postcount=892 Make sure you place it in --> Internal Storage/TWRP/theme - (you are actually going to make this folder yourself)
--Reboot into recovery (Hold down back+power) and you should see twrp.

SMS & INCOMING CALL NOTIFICATIONS
Thus far, the only app i have verified to work RELIABLY is TABLET TALK, which is currently $2.99 in the PLAY Store.
You may need to install PIE CONTROLS to have the MENU BUTTON functionality first. PIE is free in play store - Afterwards:
Install on Both, android phone and the smart watch.
On the android phone you are using, setup the device in settings >> at the bottom >> The phone should be selected as PHONE
On the smart watch, go into the same settings menu at the bottom >> The device should be selected as tablet
On both devices, you should press the bluetooth icon.... Both will turn yellow, and then GREEN, when they paid. DONE!
PERFORMANCE
Using a TOOLBOX / RooT app (such as Rom TOOLBOX or Trickstermod) recommendations below to help performance and battery.
Scheduler --> Change I/O to DEADLINE - This will increase SD Card read Speeds --> The stock is CFG, Deadline is usually faster!
Governor ---> Try ON DEMAND Governor. Can help eliminate over-heating without sacrificing performance. Stock is Hybrid
XPOSED FRAMEWORK
.A number of apps will not fit within the visible area of the device without changing the DPI. Confirmed that Xposed and App settings works with the ZGPAX and can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081. For example, in the ADW popup dialog you cannot change screen borders or change wallpaper until you change the DPI to 100.

USEFULE APPS
Some useful good apps that install and work for this device. Will update frequently with your help:
Battery Monitor Widget - This widget may help updating the battery percent and reflect more accurately at all times.
Awesome ON OFF - Similar to galaxy gear, turning the watch activates screen on, with vibrate
Shake Screen ON OFF by Freebooks - Simple shake to turn the screen on or off - no need to use home button
CPU SPY is good for monitoring deep sleep... in case you install an app that keeps the device awake.
ADW EX Launcher - 4x4 grid is perfect, runs smoothly, can stretch clock widgets and such
Active Apps - Good for clearing apps and Ram in one convenient location
DigiClock - Large 4x4 clock with built in themes
Frama Root - For quick rooting
Google Maps - Be sure to actually download and install from the playstore or it may not work
NO Lock - Removes lockscreen and you can sleep / wake watch from whichever home screen you left off at
PIE controls - So you don't have to always be hitting the hardware POWER and Back buttons... also allows many toggles
ROM TOOLBOX - All root tools, file explorer, boot animation etc etc
thanks for your works
i wainting arrive my device :laugh:
Volume Change
Since mine isn't here yet, I guess someone else can test this. It's from the Joe's Tech Review website and it's for a different model, but it might work.
Z1 smart watch phone Engineering code. (Bas Advalvas)
INCREASE CALL VOLUME: found it!
Finally found it. And it's easy! Call sound value is too low on the Z1, 1 of it's main drawbacks.
■Start the phone dialer and dial: *#*#8787#*#* This will start Engineer Mode on de the Z1.
■Select Audio, then Normal Mode. Choose the 'type' Speech, change the value 6 into 0 (that's the loudest) and press Set.
■Press the Back button once. Now select LoudSpeaker Mode. Choose the 'type' Speech, change the value 24 (?) into 10 (on my Z1, the value 0 made the sound very soft, probably because of the system that prevents feedbacklooping from speaker to microphone (how you call this?)) and press Set. Press the Back Button a few times to leave Engineer Mode.
That's all! The standard call volume increases a bit (40%?), but the handsfree volume (which is otherwise about the same as the standard) inceases a lot (150%?) AND the annoying interference sound is now gone!!!

The speaker is incredibly loud... and being that you haven't actually received your zgpax, i don't think you will need any volume increase.
Would you describe some of the customization you've performed with ADW-EX in order to get such a great look? I haven't used the pay version before, so perhaps it is a silly question, but how did you get such large icons on the main page?
I'm considering buying this watch. Two questions:
1. How does it handle notifications from my phone?
2. Can I use Bluetooth to connect my phone to it since I don't want to put my SIM card in there?
zNiiC,
Check out this other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507033&page=8
To answer your questions directly, not yet. It is designed to be a stand-alone device (that being said it may happen eventually).

Yea I've seen that thread. Could you possibly tie your smartphone to this watch with some sort of app to recieve notifications on it?

Apparently the manufacturer is still working on making this possible..... I've tried a lot of apps so far with no luck

Humm. Bummer. I think I read somewhere that someone used mysms. Not sure if it was in the other thread or for a different watch.
If you really want to make it happen, you can use Tasker, Zapier and Pushover to do the job. Here's a useful explanation intended for a different application. Bottom line: if you expect to transmit more than 100 notifications per month, you'll have to shell out some ridiculous money.

To BigBison420 and ItzSnitz,
Couldn't you use tasker along with either open watch or notify my android since you can install apps on this watch? (Not quite sure how these apps work). Might be worth a shot to see if it is able to send notifications.

Im using 1.3.3.8 which is an over hauled update of the app... All prior versions are clearly not as good.
I downloaded digi clock widget, which has tons of built in theme and stretches out nicely (4X4 widget).
Also disabled action bar in adw, disable dock, and grid set to 4x4 for the homescreens. That's really the foundation of my cosmetic tweaks. Also i completely disabled lockscreen as described in OP so immediately the watch awakens to the clock on the homescreen

Hi guys,
Newbie here. I too bought the ZGPAX smart watch about 3 weeks ago, OEM version. I also purchased another model EC-309 from HOPU watches, which is based on similar hardware MTK6577, Android 4.0 and with the extra that it has 3G network, different hardware layout (camera on the side not front).
Purchased the ZGPAX for around 140$ odd plus shipping, EC-309 on the other hand was priced above $230. Full disclosure, I own a retail store selling OEM Android tablets in Indochina and would like to add smart watches into my product portfolio.
I would like to get some tips on how to extend the battery life seeing as some users managed to be able to get 1 to 1 1/2 days use on a single charge . Rooted the devices, lowered the CPU range. Tried basic user stuff like, screen timeout, brightness. Switched from 3G to GSM. Still cant get more than 6-8hr battery life. Have tried DX battery Saver Pro, this really extend the batt life but at the at the expense of shutting off wifi and 3G (not acceptable solution). Any other ideas?
For those who might be interested, here's a comparison of the two devices
1) ZGPAX touchscreen runs much hotter than the EC-309
2) ZGPAX has superior speakers, music sounds clearer and louder, no distortion at higher levels
3) ZGPAX has SD card slot, EC-309 only has internal 4GB
4) EC-309 slightly better finish, aluminium bezel, ZGPAX feels a little plasticky
5) Similar firmware for both models. Same issues, Google voice, Skype, Facebook crashes or does not work.
6) Similar battery life - 6 to 8 hr max
7) Similar battery monitoring issues - battery indicator not accurate
8) Both models have good wifi and 3G reception
9) EC-309 comes with Launcher 8 as a default..Win 8 style launcher, no custom launcher like ZGPAX.
10) EC-309 uses micro SIM , ZGPAX regular SIM size
Will share more on apps that work for me soon.

Really depends on how you use the device.... i could get 3 / 4 days out of it, simply using it as a watch to check the time. Streaming wi-fi and videos and downloading stuff is a whole different story. Have you tried changing the CPU Governor? I have not lowered the stock cpu settings... mine sits at 1001mhz max and 250 min. Deep sleeps about 90% of the time

Much thanks for the quick feedback BigBison! Frankly the watch gets fully used most days, I am actively chatting on WeChat, checking time, playing around with some basic voice recognition apps (utter, voice reading). Am trying to squeeze as much as possible out of the device. Will try to lower the CPU settings to half 667mhz and see if that helps. IO on deadline and Govenor OnDemand.
BTW, Any devs out there want to help with Custom ROMS? Am happy to donate towards the purchase of a smartwatch for the dev if it can help resolve the battery, Skype, Facebook and Voice search issues.
Also heard from my OEM supplier in China that a new version with Android 4.3 will be coming out early 1st Quarter 14. Will keep you guys informed.

wow that is very cool! keep us posted, we love updates! haha
Also if you find useful information or good apps for the watch let me know so i can update the OP in the meantime for other peeps.
Cheers!
There's also Augmented Smart Watch Pro (Play Store), however I suspect it's still the same issue that ZGPAX is a phone, not a watch. Might be worthwhile to reach out to those developers to check their pulse on this application.

Beta 3.4
Updated librtmp.so to make more streams work (Thanks RedPenguin).
Changed default OSD button to Play/Pause instead of Subtitles.
Updated all Addons.
Hopefully Fixed Controller settings in OUYA version.
Minor Bug Fixes.
Beta 3.3
Updated Common Plugin Cache to hopefully fix the few having problems.
Updated Metadata TheMovieDB plugin.
Beta 3.2
Removed build.prop check completely (Thanks kandilak).
Fixed some remote control key bindings on non-standard remotes (Thanks alexagr).
Updated SuperRepo.
Added Fanart Slideshow option to Screensavers.
Removed Language button from OSD keyboard. It will be back in Gotham.
Brought back OpenGL Spectrum Visualization as an option.
Beta 3.1
Fixed missing dependencies.
Updated Subtitles.
Beta 3
Here is a list of some of the changes since Beta 2.9.
Fusion, Xfinity and Mashup sources are included by default. SuperRepo also included.
1Channel, Much Movies HD and Youtube are preinstalled and configured. I have included my own proxy to get around the 1Channel block in the UK, just select it from the 1Channel settings if you need it.
Lyrics, Subtitles, XBMC Backup, Missing Movie Scanner and Key Editor are installed and configured.
Main screen now has the Karaoke option and also has the Karaoke plugin installed and set up.
Option to use MX Player as the playback device in context menu (Local and Streams only, SMB does not work)
Family screen will now have main menu plus 2 sub menus (Animation and HD Family) which will auto populate as you add your Movies. The main Family menu contains only Family and Animation Genres, the Animation sub menu contains only Animation Genre and the HD Family sub menu contains only HD films of Family and Animation Genres.
Videos will only show the needed sub menus as sources are added to the Library(Movies, TVShows, etc).
Pictures now has a Slideshow sub menu and links to the backgrounds folder as an example.

Various other tweaks and changes.
Beta 2
Ok, here we go. Quite a few fixes and I have not had time to fully test all of it.
Fixed remote control movement in on screen keyboard.
Fixed context menu on long click of mouse/airmouse.
Added Fusion and Xfinity.
Changed RssFeed to BBC World News.
Changed Icons.
Changed Music Wallpaper.
Added Keymap Editor to Programs.
Added advancedsettings for cache.
Updated all addons.
Various other bug fixes.
Beta 1
Hardware Decoding
Mouse wheel support
New Graphics (Not finished yet)
A fully customizable version of Confluence skin as default. All other skins removed. (If you want it faster then enable minimum spec option in skin settings)
Audio offset by 250 ms to fix audio lag.
SuperRepo Included.
All addons brought up to date.
Install Instructions
Just install it like any other APK now with whatever build.prop you like.
If 720P does not work for you then this is not meant for your hardware. It was tested on RockChip Devices but appears to work on a lot of others.
Launcher version is only for roms that don't have a system bar. Auto hide function in any rom hides everything except anything classed as a launcher so it will show system bar if used on a normal rom. You could always rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.old and it will remove the bar completely but I don't advise it unless you know what you are doing.
It takes a long time on first run (about 2 minutes) while it sets everything up. The screen will go black and then it will go thru a few backgrounds, Just wait it out. It will launch normally after the first time.
If you find that the Interface it too slow on your device then go to Skin Settings and under "General" click on "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings".

I have to say though Freaktab has a bit more freedom and tolerance level, you can get smashed up here in XDA for giving an opinion .
The sticks are going to be very Mainstream pretty soon, the Chinese manufacturers need standardize a bit and be more consistent and open. They fear being copied and yet all they do is copy around.
The overall "Android Stick Computers" may need a Freaktab moderator, that way no rights would be disturbed and a proper list of roms for devices would make it even in a single thread.

I've never been afraid to give my opinion
As for the copying going on I don't even take much notice of it. You have companies like Minix who are purposely going against GPL 2 and releasing custom versions of XBMC locked to their devices and wont supply the source code. They wouldn't get away with that on XDA for a second. The only thing I can do is inform people of their tactics and advise them against supporting them.
Problem on EVOLVEO Smart TV box Q4
Hi!
Yesterday evening i installed on my box the Beyond XBMC Beta 3.3.
On first run it seems all normaly. But if the startup process was finished and the menu appearing if i choose something the app goes black and nothing..
I waited 5 min and after i go back to home screen. try start again but only black screen.
After reboot i click on app icon it comes a black screen and immadietly close.
I can't start. Only after if i delete the user data and cache for application is possible to start again.
I try'd to "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings". One time i turned successfully this option, but after go back to menu frozen again...
Any idea?
Thankseter

I have absolutely no idea why it would do this for you. I have installed this on over 10 different bits of hardware and it worked on every one for me (except the amlogic playback but I knew that wouldn't work). There are loads of posts over on freaktab also and no one has brought up anything similar. The first install does take a long time and you have to wait it out but after that it should launch quick.
Lets try and find out what is different for you. What machine is it? What OS is it running? What chipset is it?

Hi!

Now that should work for you perfect. It is basically the same device as most of mine.
Which beta did you download, the normal one or the launcher version?
Hi!
The normal version.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Hi people, I discovered this version a short time ago, and I've to say it's the best I had trying ever. I strongly recommend to all of you to try it.
But only have a doubt, I can't do the "extrafanart thing" work, I mean, while I am selecting a chapter in a TV show, show a slideshow of different fanarts... I look for in all the settings and not find how it works. Can anybody help me? I hope you can understand me... My English level is awful . Thank you all, and specially for the developer for such a great job!

Reply to myself...
I connected the ZERO Devices Z4C Quattro to the computer as Massive Storage, copied the APK directly by USB and installed successfully from there.
Nice version of xbmc and lets hope this fixes my py errors in some addons.
I don't know why the official gotham version isn't up to scratch, but mate, you saved the day! The entire purpose of my buying the MK908 was to get XBMC on it. When the videos started lagging with the official version, I thought my money and efforts were wasted. But YOU SAVED THE DAY!
Any ideo how to get the media center remote working with MK908.
Detailed "Unboxing" and my first hands on (Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch clone/replica)
(You can find more reviews on my Youtube channel, I have also tested another smartwatch called PW305)
MEGA Review 30 minutes
Model name?
The Smartwatch K2 W100 has many names in the internet. It is also known as Ansmart Swatch Universal Smart Watch, Star Kingelon K2 or Star E2602. They may differ in little bit in the software. But the one I got has weather for the whole world, full keyboard and a lot of languages.
From where did you get your version of the watch?
If your interested in this watch, check the info in the video description (in the unboxing video in the top) on Youtube.
Before I can say if this watch is good or not, I have to test it some more. But the design and materials are very close to the real Samsung Galaxy Gear. My first impression of it was "wow" because it offers really many features and options. Like full Android 4.2.2 OS, built-in camera, radio, wifi, bt, ftp, music player etc. But of course the watch is just a nice toy.
Bluetooth Keyboard
I can pair my BT keyboard with the watch, and then I can use that to type. Works perfect! also I can with no problem disable the BT keyboard again if not needed in the settings of the watch. Just like on any other normal phone.
ROOT?
It can be rooted very easy and fast with http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ (Root Genius tool).
This should be pretty safe, and even after a factory reset of the watch, it will still be rooted. But still you do this by your own risk!
Play Store?
The watch doesnt come with the Play store, but I managed to install the Play store myself on the watch and it works 100% without errors. But it requires ROOT. Also I have installed Aptoide (alternative app store). I have tried Google Music app, Temple Run 1, Antutu and Flappy Bird, all these works great. I even got Youtube and Facebook to work!
Steps how to install the Play Store
(Batterylife without any Gapps installed is really good, but as soon you install Gapps it will reduce batterylife dramatic.)
1. Root the watch using http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
2. Download the GoogleInstallerR.apk here http://www.mediafire.com/download/9lunc7lw7c34ca0/GoogleInstallerR.apk
3. Download also this one http://www.mediafire.com/download/m00z1385acthrdm/Gapps-s7yler.rar
4. Copy "GoogleInstallerR.apk" to the watch, install it on the watch, after that you need to run the app from the app drawer on the watch called "GoogleInstaller" and check or install all the Gapps. You can also install the Play Store with that one, maps, gmail, etc.
5. If the Play Store can be startet and works for you then your good! If not or if the Play Store crashes or gives error then, unpack the Gapps-s7yler.rar (from step 3) and install first the "Google Account Manager APK" file on the watch after that also install the "GooglePlay.Installer(ALL-Colors).apk" on the watch, when that one is installed you need to run "Installer cracked Google Play" from the app drawer, inside the app choose "Modded Google Play Original Style", and then press the button "Install and Reboot".
6. After a fresh reboot, try the Play Store (maybe you need to sign in) again and it should work without errors or problems!
Firmware/ROM
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/kingelon-swatch-k2/
Specifications:
- MTK6572, Cortex A7 dual core, 1.2GHz
- GPU: Mali-400
- ROM 4GB / RAM 512B (about 1.1Gb internal memory usable)
- Full colour touch screen 320 x 240 pixels
- Wallpapers can be changed
- Volume & ringtone control
- Pedometer
- Phonebook
- LED notifications
- Real Android OS 4.2.2
- Weather for the whole world
- Customizable clocks
- Customizable UI / color or simple
- Gesture shortcuts
- Built-in Camera (5 mp) / video & pics
- Bluetooth FTP transfer
- With speaker & mic
- Music player (local and remote)
- It has Developer's options and USB Debugging
- Antilost & find my device
- Works only together with an Android smartphone (has no simcard built-in).
- The original Gear only works for Samsung phones, this one works for almost all Android phones!
Some few cons:
I would wish that the screen on the K2 was a little bit bigger, the PW305 has a bigger screen but overall the same size
The viewing angle on the screen from the sides, or in horizontal mode is not that good, straight front it is good
The lens on the camera is just put on with some tape, you may glue it on better
Speaker quality is not the greatest, but it is okay
While you have a conversation, and you need to use the dialer, it can lag a little bit
The "hang on" button after a conversation can also sometimes lag a little bit
Not all Play Store games or app will work, some work other don't
The "gesture auto screen on" does not always work for me
The bluetooth range could be a lot better, seems only to be 4-5 meters max
Batterylife without any Gapps installed is really good, but as soon you install Gapps it will reduce batterylife dramatic.
Antutu score
7400 pretty nice for a watch
Antutu tells me that it has these sensors
Temperature Sensor
Pressure Sensor
Ambient Temperature Sensor
E-Compas
Acceleration Sensor
Direction Sensor
Relative Humidity Sensor

Does it show complete push messages or just say "you have xxx notifications on Skype or yahoo messenger or whatever?

I saw your excellent instructions but can any one post the watch apks for the most common apps like:
1. Gmail
2. Facebook
3. Twitter
4. Instagram
Etcetera... I'd rather just manually push the apks to the watch and install them one-by-one. If there is a repository of watch apps somewhere please do let me know. BTW, I started in Android with the first Android phone (T-Mobile G1) and have rooted and worked on a dozen or more phones since then so I'm not a noobie to this, just getting lazy in my old age!
So far I have this watch, another Gear clone thats just a Bluetooth watch and both the Sony SW1 and SW2. I just ordered another from Electrofame.com so I'm pretty hooked on these little devices!
Thanks!!!!

Ok thnx I will take a look, btw. how is your batterylife? Seems mine is rather poor but only when connected via BT and WiFi. Thinking, if there is a way we can extend the batterylife a bit?
EDIT: nevermind, I found out it must be because of the Gapps I have installed. Without all the Gapps and Gps/Location on (I am now only logged into the Play Store) I suddenly get super battery life again.
Now after 10 hours! I am still on 70% battery with both WiFi and BT on.

Have you set it up correctly inside the SWatchManger app on the phone?
Settings>Notifications>Advanced>Must enable Advanced Notification
After that
Settings>Notifications>Advanced>More notification and check the apps you want notifications from.

Not receiving any push notifications either. SW manager is set up correctly.

if your on the older rom clear the app data and cache, i had to do this constantly. if your on the new rom delete swatch manager and send the one on your watch to your phone.
Samsung Gear 360 Manager (Mod without LiveView for any phones and tablets with Android 5.0 or higher)
We present a new modification of the application Gear 360 Manager is compatible with most phone models from all manufacturers!

}
Now as a remote for Gear 360, you can use any phone with Android 5.0 or higher!
This level of compatibility we were able to achieve due to the fact that our programmer was removed by the LiveView module (preview in real time)..
Therefore, even on slower and older phones like Samsung GALAXY S4 and Note 3 this app works and allows you to change Exposure settings, white Balance, HDR as well as set limits ISO. And most importantly, to remotely control shutter release on spherical camera Gear 360 to making photos the precisely the right moment, not when the timer expires.
This modification is based on modification of established respected Bin4ry.
Mods:
1.) Removed LiveView to support all devices (by Dionis10)
2.) Replaced by UI icons on a large and high quality (Designed by Admin ALLGe.RU)
3.) Removed device lock (by Bin4ry)
Requested and paid for the creation of this modification: ROSTOVisualFX
Installation requirements:
1. Any devices from any manufacturer with the OS Android 5.0 or higher.
2. You need to install Samsung Accessory Service (You will be prompted to install this component automatically after you install Gear 360 Manager).
We recommend you to install our mod, in case if on Your device is not running LiveView in the mod from Bin4ry or You don't need LiveView or You want to save battery charge camera and phone without LiveView.
Download the latest version You can always get on the official website of the developers of this modification here:
Modified application Gear 360 Manager for any devices with Android 5.0 or higher
Detailed instructions for the installation and use of this Mod is the link above.
Before asking questions in this thread, that You have something does not work as I would like — please view this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYcic0uNUBw
If the problem persists, please in the comments leave the following information:
1. The Android version on Your device and the device model.
2. Firmware version Gear 360.
3. Gear 360 camera connects via Bluetooth to Your device without the app?
4. If in Your opinion, a solution to Your problem will require changes to the application, please provide the adb logcat with the entry point in which is shown a error.

Stitching and saving problem... only stitched up to 29% and save up to 50% and it stop, nothing done. Also when pressed on the recording, it recorded but can't stop it. The stop button won't responded. There are other problem... when changing lens to different mode, it can't changed back. I have to X out the app and re-open it again in order to change.
Anyone got this to work with the Pixel XL?

Hi,
I use the Galaxy S5 with Android 6.0.1. and the latest firmware on Gear 360.
I tried the app By Bin4ry, but due to problems with the live view I could not use. I installed the app By ROSTOVisualFX and may be used, make a photo, but not a stich panorama (only up to 60-70%).
Is there a solution for this problem?
Regards,
Midhat
Does not work on my Pixel. Attempted on Nexus7 and the app at least opens but unable to control camera.

Read carefully the page on allge.ru - stitching panoramas on your phone is not supported! Do stitching of panoramas on the computer is easier and better with the latest version of ActionDirector.

samsung s4
Hi guys
great work!!!
I need information about samsung s4, my last app version don't work (no preview) , i've write it in the forum a few months ago.
I can use this way to use my phone?
It would be enough to use the LivePreview just to see the shots before recording and to make some adjustments.
Any chance for an update?
I'm opening this thread just to gather all that we know about those watches that have exactly the same SOC. What we have now are different threads were people seldom post and contribute, so I'm going to post what I have. Please contribute what you can even just to post the daily behaviour of your watch.
There is another thread where people have been posting about the Ourtime X01s but it has passed long time since we saw the OP so the first post isn't updated at all. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...ourtime-x01s-3g-smartwatch-phone-1gb-t3469741

Nowadays we know that there are 2 versions of the watch. The one with 3 sensors and the one with only one sensor. It seems that the maker wants to use the 3 sensors as the TenFifteen and the one sensor as the Ourtime X01s, but made a mistake and mixed them. So late in 2016 if you bought a Ourtime X01s you could get one of these:
- Watch with 3 sensors, metal back cover.
- Watch with 1 sensor, plastic back cover.
The back is to be confirmed but I don't have enought reports just to state that. At first, the maker put the same ROM in all of them so if your warch is a 1 sensor one and has the 3 sensor ROM you have a watch with a terrible use of battery, the CPU never deepsleep and it gets very hot. If your watch is a 3 sensor one with the one sensor ROM it works fine but has 2 sensors locked.
Unfortunately I got a watch with one sensor that the stupid chinese put the 3 sensor ROM so it doesn't work as you can expect. Don't know the other people, but in my case I'm totally sure that simply loading the correct ROM the watch will work as expected. Update 04/06/2017: Now I'm totally sure that I was right, because I got a 1 sensor ROM and my watch works like a charm. Continue reading....
I know at least 4 ROMs released:
- Aug 29 2016 <- 3 sensors one and came loaded in all the TenFifteen units (not rooted) (Thanks to @VaderMaul) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFajd3X0U4UGpKcG8
- Oct 22 2016 <- 3 sensors one and came loaded in some Ourtime X01s (already rooted) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFSjZXZmtyYXFZV0E
- Dec 16 2016 <- 1 sensor came loaded in Ourtime X01s (Not rooted, chinese version, no play store) (Thanks to @bigkay) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFYWJBcDJOWGJ0VkU
- Dec 16 2016 <- 1 sensor. I managed to clean the chinese app's from the ROM and install google services (already rooted, google services working, no chinese app's) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFQkV1SVBBYjYxeGM
- Jan 12 2017 <- 1 sensor (to be confirmed)
Searching for the other releases especialy the 1 sensors ones. If you have one of these please try to help because having the 2 versions all the people could fix the issues that are having with his watches.
Read this advice carefully....
At this point it could happend the following:
- Your watch is a 3 sensors one with the ROM of one sensor. If this is the case, simply loading my ROM your watch will unlock the other 2 sensors and all will work perfect. Lucky you....
- Your watch is a 1 sensor one with the correct ROM. If you load my ROM the other 2 sensors won't work (because they doens't exist) and it will start working bad, having a terrible use of the battery and never sleeping the processor. In this case, you need to download the 1 sensor ROM to turn it back.... if you have a watch with this behaviour from factory, be sure that it came with a wrong ROM. Download the 1 sensor one and give a life to your watch....
You can see the sensors that reports your watch with some apps like cpu-z or sensors test.
- How to make a backup of your watch's ROM:
Make a copy of the ROM doesn't take more than 30 minutes and the watch is not in danger of break or stop working. If you do a copy, please be careful of not share the nvram.bin file or send me the ROM for clean it up and don't share your personal data.
Whatever are you going to do with you watch, you will need the MTK drivers. Download them here https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-usb-all-drivers (last version at the end of the page)
If your device is not rooted:
You would find a complete step by step guide here: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html You don't need to do the first part of the guide "build the scatter file" . Download it here instead https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFbmtiaEJoMmJtMWc and go to the "launch SP Flash Tools" part. It works in W10
If your device is already rooted:
You could follow the guide above or you would find a complete guide here with another method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031 On youtube you will find lots of videos also. It works in W10. In fact all my backups are made under W10.
If MTK Droid Tools is not able to see your watch, you need to edit just a file. Do step by step this guide and your watch would be recognized straight. Sorry the guide is in Spanish but may be you can use google to translate all the entire page https://www.hell-desk.com/android-debug-bridge-y-dispositivos-usb-no-encontrados/ .
When you got the copy of the ROM please share here and I'll post in the first post in order to complete the ROM's set.
If you loaded a new ROM with the "format" method, you will face the problems below:

- Custom recovery:
I have been unable to make the CWM recovery with MTK Droid tools. It gives an error and I can't continue. In other hand, I have been able to make a TWRP Recovery. Unfortunately it is bigger in bytes than the original one so to load it to the watch is necesary to modify the scatter file and I haven't enought knoledge to do this. I left the file in my drive if someone whants to try. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFeXozaThHNDR2c00

A 8 gb sd card I use link2sd.
Where did you get the twrprecovery.img file?
To install twrp.img use flashify.apk (Google Play)
My watch also runs at 1 GHz and it deep sleeps no problems, it even wakes once you tap the screen in deep sleep, battery lasts for seven to eight days in flight mode used as a watch only. The rom has a build date Dec 13 2016.
'My watch also runs at 1 GHz and it deep sleeps no problems, it even wakes once you tap the screen in deep sleep' that's true. I use the clock with wifi, gps, bluetooth, facebook, messenger, twitter, dolphin, link2sd, l-call, maps, navigator, runtastic, shaketolock, snap camera hdr, etc ... less than 1 day of battery usage (like any cell phone). My build number x01s_v1.1.
any news about custom recovery?
Same here.My watch is most of the time in deep sleep.
Root with Kingroot V5.0.5.397172 su version v3.79.
Install Kernel Adiutor >Apply on boot> cpu covernor set on hotplug core 1 = 1001/598 GhH , core 2 =598 GHz/most of the time offline.
With g3 always on/wiffi on when it is needed.
With normal use two days easy.
build number X01S-V1.1
kernel version 3.10.72 .Tue Dec 13 2016.

I tried to make the custom recovery on my computer with the watch connected directly and running this program https://twrp.me/ Follow this guide http://www.androroot.com/2015/02/how-to-make-custom-recovery-for-any.html The program was able to build the recovery.img but it was bigger that the original. Try if you want because I see now that there is a new version of the program.

How did you get the camera working in 5Mpx? Saw you in other post complaining about the 3Mpx of the camera....

Which brand is your watch? Ourtime or Tenfifreen? In some time nobody has reported this build. Known is the 29 August build and 22 October. The first one is from a TenFifteen and the other one is from a Ourtime. In fact this build is the one that is in the ROM in the first post. If you make a copy please share it. :good:

I think that we have exactly the same ROM but this doens'r work for me. Did you something special to make the deep sleep works? Just install the program and that's it? In my case I have tried changing lots of setting but no chance.

The watch doesn't has gesture itself. May be you can search for an app that use the accelerometer to do that. I don't like this feature because is a battery drainer but try it yourself....
