Hi everyone, I am very interested on the MT-08 smartwatch, it is the only under $100 Smart Watch which has NFC (read/write) and also has a Gyroscope, but the downside is that it runs android 4.2, I can find no information about this watch, does anyone know if it goes by another name??
My second question is since the smart watch above has a gyroscope and all features needed to run pokemon go, has anyone tried getting pokemon go to work on a smartwatch? I do not have a smartwatch to try which is why I am asking here.
I really want that mt-08 watch but there is no information and I really want android 4.4 or 5.1, and the NFC is honestly a really cool feature.

I'm currently looking for a good, cheap, reliable smart watch. Currently I was looking at the K8 smart watch http://m.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_238976.html
However, I found out that it lacks music control, BT notifications for other apps, and other features of a tethered watch. I'd like to see if anyone knows of a smart watch which runs on android (regular android not android wear) and has music control, and Bluetooth notifications. Alternatively, if you know a way to add those to functions to an android based device such as the K8 I'd love to know how. My budget is less than 130. However if the price is slightly above that but worth it I might give it a shot. Thanks you all in advanced!
I picked this watch up from Wal-Mart for $20, thinking it's a U8 clone. The internals seem the same, it seems to operate the same, but I'm having issues using the FlashTool to back up the rom.
Clearly, it runs some kind of watered-down version of Android. I want to sideload two specific apps onto the watch, as I'm going to use it as the functional portion of a tricorder replica. I want to load the old Moonblink Tricorder app (must be found online, not in the Play Store anymore) and the LCARS UI (available from the Play Store).
Anyone have any insight on how to sideload to this device or how to modify it so it's running a more familiar version of android?
Hype hy ttcm to u8 clone?
Did you ever figure out if the hype watch would be hackable. I can't find anything anywhere. I'd love to put a new os on it so I can have apps on it and send text messages and ect. K
Hello, it is highly possible that you guys already know about Android Wear launcher as an apk that was extracted out of the emulator as mentioned here on Android Police.
I downloaded it on my Intex iRist and tried pairing it with the official Android Wear app by google installed on my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. The app said that the watch is connected and all went well until the time the app started to check for updates where the app was stuck. I manually closed the app and re-opened it, then check for updates screen was gone and now I got the screen that you get when you connect to an android wear watch except that it was still "trying to connect" to my watch phone.
My question is that how to extract the launcher from the emulator at the first place? Then as it is possible, can we not extract the latest launcher so that may skip past the check for updates screen? I see that nobody has done it yet. Lastly, even if it gets connected, as it is just a launcher and not the whole OS, I will not be able to use it as a regular android wear, can I? Well, I am just concerned about getting the android wear watch faces on my watch phone, so even if I get only that part of the android wear os on my device through the launcher, I am satisfied.
P.S. I know getting an android wear smartwatch is the best way to get what I wish to achieve, I am just curious about this way. So please reconsider it if you're going to ask me to get a proper device. Thank you.
HI there,
I just bought a GT08 smartwatch (what I think it is a clone).
It has a MT6261.
I currently use Mediatek SmartDevice with it, but I have seen I can't get anything else than notification title in remote notifier.
I use a S4 mini with AOKP Android 7.1.
I don't know if it is a problem with the watch firmware not supporting Android 7 or the app from mediatek not supporting Android 7.
By the way, I tested on my other phone, S3 mini, with Android Lollipop, and I can get all notifications which their content, with the same app.
This feature is critical for me because I wanted the watch for reading WhatsApp notifications without taking the phone.
So, is there an app or firmware for the watch that could make notifications to work properly?
I attach a picture of watch version firmware.
Thanks in advance.
in this forum that the Smarty application, really good for what you are looking for
This is a pretty cool watch phone, but the launcher can bug out if you try to install custom VXPs (according to what I've read) and some of the watch faces I want are only on android wear.
So my idea is to install an android wear launcher on the watch, and use their watch faces. Anyone know how? I tried searching but didn't find anything.
Thanks
Same question
Hi!
I have the same smartwatch and the factory rom is getting me some problems. Is there any alternative rom for it? If it could be android wear it would be great ?
Thanks!
