Info on Mediatek
Right now my Mediatek seems to work just fine but I know that it is not working for most people. For some reason, when I go to the play store and search "Mediatek" and pick the app, it says that it is not installed yet and I can install it. I am not sure why this happens or how to fix it. I don't want to risk my watch connection and reinstall Mediatek but I am sure that if I did, I would have the same problem. I have found a few apps that look similar to Mediatek that I will post below. Please share if one of the apps worked.
The review
In the review, I included the APK that is working for me and a few other people.
Hopefully the APK works for you too and if you need any help, just leave a comment and I will usually respond within the next day or so.
APK Not available
Hi,
As I mentioned in your review, I just scanned the QR code, website opened succesfully, but links to download the APK are offline. Do you have the APK for me?
The Mediatek app on the playstore keeps saying "Connecting...". Tried everything, reinstall, reset of the watch, none of them worked.
Also, is there anyway to customize the firmware or install / program extra applications?
Thanks!

I can upload the apk that I am currently using to my review tonight and the only way to customize the firmware/apps that I know of are the 3 apps that you can download from the Mediatek app (Yahoo weather, Codoon, Digital watchface)

Thanks for uploading, too bad it's the same version as the one on Play Store. Application keeps saying "Connecting.." while the watch connects perfectly by bluetooth. Reset / reinstall nothing did the trick.
Guess MediaTek wasn't joking with their description:
Special Explanation：
This APK is not suitable for NO.1 G2 watch, please do not use it to connect the G2 watch. Please contact with the manufacturer or watch saler to get help.

Thanks for the quick response and help. Will try the APK as soon as I get home from work. I'll let you know if this one works, I think it will.
I saw another app at the playstore with the same version of the MTK apk u just uploaded, and that one connected directly to the watch. Only problem was that it was only in Spanish. So I hope the apk u just uploaded will work the same

Hello,
I tried to install the APK, but after the download when i try to open the application , it can not be opened.
The other APK, that has the massage "it may not work" is not working for me. I can install the app, but not connecting.
Can you please help me?

So it seems that the newest version of the APK (one with message "it may not work") does not seem to be working for anyone. the other APK has worked for me and a few others. If it can't be opened I would check that you can install APK from unknown sources in settings but, if you were able to install the other APK then that is not the problem. Try re-downloading the working APK and re-installing it.
Is there an error message or number when you try to install the APK? If so please tell me and I might be able to do some more research.

ned help with firmware upgrade
I just got my G2 today and tried to upgrade the firmware to the alternate version with Hebrew support. I followed the directions but get stuck on 0% . I think that the drivers were not installed correctly as when I ran the driver installation prog. (as admin) it gave me the message that XP drivers were installed sucessfully. I tried going into the vista/V7 folder and right clicking the .inf file to install but got the same message that you got in the other thread that this inf can't be installed this way. How did you get around this problem and install the correct drivers?

I have had some problems just like this and unfortunately I have no solution. I can give you some links to update guides.
Link 1 - For the NO1 Sun which should be the same upgrade process
Link 2 - For the NO1 Sun which should be the same upgrade process

Neither of these helped. I still had driver problems. I finally solved the problem by installing the drivers on an old Windows 7 32bit system.. Once they were installed, everything went smoothly. Now I have a different problem. I found a language "C" ROM dated 04-10-2015 and flashed this. It is newer than the "C" ROM on No.1's site which is from 03-02-2015. Unfortunately, in both of these ROM's the Pedometer and the heart rate monitor don't work. Anyone have a newer ROM that they do work in?
BTW, I received the watch with a ROM dated 07-06-2015 and it had "motion" in the settings which allowed the watch to be turned on by wrist movement. also to answer calls and to turn off alarms. It worked very nicely, but it was a "A" language ROM so I overwrote it with the older ROM. I wish that No.1 would make it publicly available and also the "C" language version of it.
please help

You'll need to drag this one into /system/app. You can just extract the zip to that directory and adjust the permissions of the APK to rw--r--r--. Should work then.
Could someone also please provide the remote control app for X720. I installed LineageOS and forgot to save the original apk file.
Thanks!
Remote Controll app for X722
+1 but for the Elite (zl0, X722)
Could someone direct me to a link for the stock app, I did not backup that since I assumed it is up somewhere in the net. Thanks a lot! :good:
Anyone got this to work on Lineage 15.1 rom? I installed in the system file location, but it still won't work
Hello guys,
I wanted to ask if there is any simple way how to enable Lens on our Tissot. If you know some, post the full step-by-step tutorial here.
Thanks.

Is there another way? More specifically flashable zip that would enable it without rooting?
Question 2: Is the also flashable zip for Google camera and AR stickers?
Appreciate your help and reply.

You can try to replace files in system directly, though no idea why would you want to do that. If you can't find flashable zip, unpack Magisk module and replace system files with those in module + modify build.prop accordingly. Don't forget to set correct files permissions (use info from original files or from Magisk module). Same applies to Google camera with AR stickers. Keep stock system.img at hand in case you screw something up.
hey guys , I just try ar stickers on arnova8g2 gcam...
(without root ... just bootloader is unlocked as per to enable cam2api so that able to use gcam.)
