So, my grandparents bought me this cheap smart watch (I liked the look of it and it wasn't expensive so they got it for me as a present) but it's honestly a little slow, in terms of OS and stuff. I can't even keep the screen on to look at my watch face, they're not customisable etc.
Is there anything i can do for it? Like, mod it or port Android Wear OS on it? Anything to make it better? It's just pretty meh right now but I do like it.
Since i'm new here, i can't post a link! but here's the name from amazon.co.uk
LEMFO® S19 Bluetooth Smart Watch Phone 1.54" Touch Screen GSM Support SIM TF Camera Smartwatch for Android Cell Phone Sync SMS Phone Book Call History APP Notification (Blue)
I have a Lemfo lf07/Ordro sw25/Dm09 (There are the same smartwatch). The screen works, I can see the watchfaces but I cannot do anything with the screen. It doesn't respond to the touch. I read that this can be because I have a incorrect firmware but I didn't find the firmware of this watch anywhere.
LEMFO LF07 Smart Watch from Amazon, touch screen faulty
I purchased as a gift, from Amazon.com early December, a LEMFO LF07 Bluetooth Smart Watch. As of the 11th January, the touch screen is not working. I am very disappointed. Seeking solutions, short of starting the return process with Amazon?
Hello everyone!!
I was hoping to have some guidance and/or advices as far as MTK2502C development goes, most acurately the KingWear KW18 Smartwatch.
Let me explain,
Looking for a better and more updated firmware I flashed the official one from this page:
http://www.king-wear.com/download (KW18_UI2_B_V1_20161128) the "B" options seams to be multilingual in most of the official firmware sites I found, and this is supposed to be the manufacturators official website of my watch, however, when I turn on the watch after flashing, I'm having some display issues, seems that the display is not lined up and I have a white/colorful (Like TV noise) at the bottom of the display where the soft action/virtual buttoms should be. And the touch screen seems to be misaligned too, since to select an option I have to select the one is right below to actually trigger the option I desire. The rest seems to work fine, Bluetooth, Pedometer, Heart Rate, etc, all of that is working fince.
Does anyone know what cause this? Is it a hardware issue? Is it something I can configure on the scatter file?
I also tried to flash the No 1 G3 latest firmware, since I saw G3 and KW18 have pretty much the same specs and the G3 have a much nicer overall ROM visuals and UI, but when I turn on the watch after the flashing, the display doesn't turn on or responds, but if a click the On/Off hardware button on the side, the watch actually makes a bip sound, telling me that the watch actually works, the G3 firmware went through and I'm supposedly turning on and off the screen but it's just that the display doesn't light up, no image, no light not even super deemed, anything, just unresponsive black screen.
Any idea of what could be happening? Is the KW18 not compatible with the No 1 G3 firmware? I honestly do not know.
I made a back up before flashing anything and after each flashing error I have to go back to the stock KW18. It's ok, but I'd like to have a nicer User Interface. The official site shows "supposedly" real pictures of the product and the firmware showed ther looks upgrated to the one I have. Still trying to update through the Mediatek Smart Device or the FundoWear App shows that I'm running the "latest firmware". I and recall watching a video on Youtube where a guy was making a Review of a Smartwatch pretty similar to the KW18 and the watchface showed up the weather and the virtual action buttons where blue and not orange. Watch faces also look more useful and cooler.
I finally got tired of googling for a Official/Custom Rom for the KingWear KW18. The only MTK2502C development I've seen so far is for the IWO watch which has a squared display. I don't think it could work on the KW18 round display, but I don't know for sure.
If anyone have a Custom firmware or a more recent update for the KW18, or point me in the right direction to where to get it, would be espectacular and deeply apprecieated it.
Thanks for your attention. I hope someone could help.

How do you made your smartwatch backup? and what steps did you follow to upgrade the KW18?

None of them worked for me. There were misplaced UI issues in the three.

I used the Universal ReadBack Extractor from Golem_
Original post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm.../readback-extractor-mtk6260-firmware-t3289272
I made a backup from the original firmware, (the one that came pre-installed), and install it back when none of the original firmware versions from KingsWear worked for me. All of them gave me screen misplaced UI issues. I googled a bit more and discovered that the K18 I had was some sort of prototype and that's why I had a lot of issues with the official firmwares from KingsWear. :\
It doesn't matter anymore. The is one of the most common problems when buying this type of chinese devices. If you pay more for other devices, you're ensuring everything will work as expected 99.99% of the time.
To fix my problem let's say I didn't keep the KW18 and I bought a First class smart watch with a cute Apple Logo on the back.
If you have the money and believe on the recommendations and user rating, then go for a more expensive, better-designed device.
Works better than a charm.
Firmware KW18
You placed that you had backed up the Clock before updating it, exactly the same happened to me with my KW18, but the problem I have that does not support the Firmware and I could not recover it. You would be so kind as to send me the original firmware to my email [email protected] I would be eternally grateful. From already thank you very much.

Hi guyz, I'm wondering is it possible since it's the same processor, to port android from KW88 watch?
Newest released version is from the end of 2017 and in d5+ it's end of 2016. My friend have this smartwatch and I must say, it runs more smoothly, even with less RAM, menu is just cool, and bt calling works as well. Can anyone help me with port? I've already flashed kw88 system on my d5+, so i think that this is possible, but the thing is that for now on bluetooth not working, screen is rotated 180 degrees and touchscreen works oppositionaly to the pressed place. So when you need to push down button you must tap on the top. I hope that some of hackers from here will be able to help . Cheers
Does anyone can help with this?
Hi! I broke my GT08 smartwatch's screen. The actual display is fine, but the plastic piece that senses touch that goes on top of it is badly cracked. It wouldn't be a huge issue if it weren't for the fact that the watch no longer responds to touch. I can only use the side button. I also can't fix the time because I can't sync the time (the watch displays a message asking me if I want to sync but I can't click yes). To be honest, I have no idea how I broke it. I must've somehow hit my arm against something and the watch broke. Anyway, I haven't found a replacement screen yet online. If any of you know where to get one, please let me know. However, if I can't get a replacement, I was thinking about trying to rewrite the software on it and program it so I can use it to make smart glasses. However, I'm not sure how to do this. Does anyone know how to reprogram the watch (and possibly have source code I can modify to make the watch do what I want it to do as I don't want to have to reverse-engineer the firmware or something just to rewrite it)? Also if you have any ideas on what I can do with this or how to design the glasses, let me know.
Thanks in advance,
naru
By the way, here is the watch I got https://www.walmart.com/ip/DZ09-Blu...Texts-For-Android-and-iPhone-SILVER/783461950
I know it says DZ09 but the software on it calls the watch GT08.
