Hi there, I just recently bought a Ticwatch GTX, thinking it was installed with Wear OS, but turns out it was installed with a proprietary OS made by Mobvoi (I know... I'm really not careful). The reason why I bought the watch in the first place was to create Wear OS apps with it, but after buying it, I can't even find out how to enable ADB debugging... I've tried clicking each item listed in the Settings page (there is no Build number) 10 times, and none of them triggered a response or a toast message. Any help is appreciated.
I would assume it doesn't support ADB, and even if it does it has only 16MB storage which is probably all filled up by the OS and built-in apps, so I doubt you would be able to fit any other app there.
I found that both the ticwatch s2 and the e2 is priced at only $119.99 now, which is insanely cheap for a Wear OS watch, so you could get one of them, or you could get a refurbished Sport or Express for only 2 dollars more than the gtx.
I also found your post in the ticwatch forum and there you mentioned that this is for an assignment. I can se why you would want a physical device to test on if you are going to make several apps and publish them, but if it's only for an assignment I would think that using an emulator would be good enough

Hi there!
I note at the outset that the device with which you want to mention is not provided with the software from under the sign of green android. But because it works very well with Android, it is worth to write about it.
That's exactly what it is: Goclever Chronos Eco.
Technical specification can be found here:
http://www.goclever.com/pl/produkty,c1/smartwear,c114/chronos-eco-smartwatch,a455.html
I bought this watch on Friday at a price: 40EUR
Currently testing the length of battery life.
Yesterday I had a software update to version 3.17.
I have read the whole topic of "WeloopTommy" and a total of everything repeats itself, they are the same device.
So far I am very happy with my purchase.
The watch is pretty decent run.
Declared by the manufacturer options work well.
Have also tested the water-tightness. All right after the tests.
Android app is also quite well done, although it could do with a few things to improve.
Link below some pictures of my watch immediately after purchase:

Since the hardware is the same but the name is different, it adds about the linked subject that is already developed or "Weloop":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sma...s/weloop-tommy-smartwatch-looks-best-t2864444
Topic I add that people looking for the same name also could have a chance to read about the benefits of this equipment.
PS. If moderation deems it appropriate, please add it in the name of the theme Chronos Eco GoClever and merge threads.
I got mine tooday, they are very nice and solid BUT my phone keeps disconnecting so i cant even load watchfaces.
Still no link on that site to buy it. No mather what country i select.
Cause 40euro is okay.
No registration
I try to register to the android app but nothing happen.....?? The app work for some seconds and after return to the registration. I have a Moto X 2013
Watch face error
I have a GoClever eco. I installed the app, but when I try to change the watch face I cand look this pop-up : "Sync failed". What can I do ?
Hello everybody,
I purchased a Motorola 360 smartwatch in order to pair it with my iphone.
There are numerous threads and procedures available online, and I have tried a lot of them, but am stuck and need some help.
I posted in a general question sticky thread (as a reply), but nobody got back to me.
If this post is not to be in this section, please let me know where to post.
My situation I got up to so far is that
1. I got virtual box set up and android x86 set up inside it, with 4.3.
2. I even got the setup rooted.
(I don't have an android phone)
When I try to download aerlink android wear for ios app, it tells me that it cannot be installed because the "device isn't compatible"
From what I hear in forums and other website, it is because the android machine is not set up as a phone, and it can be done through market helper app and/or editing the build.prop file.
However, I have tried all of that, but was unsuccessful- I install the market helper app, and opened and modified the build.prop file, but it still gives me the error.
Can anybody help me in getting the virtual machine setup for this part of the procedure, or inform me of any other methods that will work in my case?
This part has been quite frustrating for me, and I can really use some help.
Thanks everybody for reading, and helpful replies (in advance)!
What iPhone do you have and on what iOS?
Personally i have a similar situation, i had a Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Gear 2, recently with great Kudos and thanks to one of the most amazing devs i have seen so far in the scene named Biktor, i know have Android Wear running on my Gear 2, since i switched to iPhone 6 + Currently running iOS 8.4 JB the Gear 2 was more than useless considering i could not create any access to the Gear App store
So i found my self in a similar predicament and this is what worked for me thus far.
I am running Android x86 4.4 r2 on VMWare 11 on my PC and it worked with 2 cheap dongles i had laying around, the setup worked just as well on VMWare Fusion and the latest Parallels on Mac running the same Android Image.
on Android and Wear side you can use.
Aerlink (most recommended although WearAday is pretty much identical) Download Aerlink on your VM and it will get installed on your Moto 360
On your iPhone, Assuming you are running iOS 8.0 and up and you have at least an iPhone 5 you should have no problem downloading the app, that being said if you are sporting a iPhone 4s or lower you cant run the app since i has no BLE hardware
If that is not the issue then download it, run it on you Moto and flip on the service switch, open the app on the iPhone and have the BT on, once the service is up bring up the Aerlink card on the watchface and press Search, it will find your iPhone and ask to pair with a 6 number key and your good to go.
Same goes for WearAday , Download on PlayStore, open it on VM then on Moto 360, and finally on iPhone.
there is also wear for iOS but it is not as far ahead as the other two.
hope i helped
Good evening - I'm a long time lurker at XDA and have gleaned a lot of useful information from this site, so thanks for that.
I have a client who is looking to build prototype for a device containing only one app, for a very young market, which will be the only app runnable on the device (think a smartwatch tamagotchi) - the priorities are that there's bluetooth, wifi and an accelerometer fully accessible to the app, and that the watch be relatively cheap. Now, while I've been a developer and sysadmin for a number of years, this is my first Android or wearable project, so I wanted to see if anyone had any useful tips on approaches to take, and devices to try for this prototype. (Also, I know the idea of locking down a device like this might be an anathema to people posting here. See this as an academic exercise in what's possible.)
As far as the approach goes, it seems to me I have a few options:
- Get a watch already running Android Wear, develop the app using Google's APIs and see if I can the modify the OS to boot into a single app.
- Get a (probably cheaper) watch which I can then flash with a ROM built by someone else, but will still allow me to access the accelerometer, then lock this down
- As above, but build my own ROM, containing only my app.
As far as devices go, we've had a look at some £20 Chinese wonders with MediaTek MT2502 chips, but I couldn't see how I'd get into them to flash a new ROM and I could't find anyone here using the same model. I've been looking at the MOTOACTV, which I see has many fans, but am also quite happy to consider other (particularly cheaper) alternatives, as long as I'll be able to develop something for them, get to the accelerometer and eventually send data to a server.
Sorry for the long post. Any advice?
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
Hi all,
got my new Mediapad m3 lite 10 today. It is planned to use this device as a family device, and so each one of us would like to have its own account at this pad. But I can't find the setting to set this up :silly:
My Pad is a BAH-W09 with Software BAH-W09C100B022
Thanks, jennix

Hi!
Same problem with my pad bah-l09
I was searching yesterday for apps, which can deliver these functionality to this device, but i only found apps which are cloning other apps to use them in parallel and/or with different accounts, but thats not what i want. Other apps like SwitchMe (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme&hl=de&rdid=fahrbot.apps.switchme) require root access, which also isn't available at this time i think. Are there any other app which can build user profiles at this tablet?
cheers, jennix
I got a response from the Huawei-Support and they told me that the M3 Lite 10 is not meant to get multi-user - support. :/
WTF!!! I was considering buying that tablet because it seemed to neatly fit my needs. However that Huawei unnecessarily(!) stripped off Android's build in multi-user capability for a tablet(!) is almost a complete KO criterion. I wanted to use it amongst other stuff to install different users for my wife and me so we both could check our emails independantly - what an overly rare and complex task! If the tablet can't handle that scenario it's almost useless for me. :-/
I'm really a bit sick'n'tired of hoping some day someone will find a new trick to root phone AB, someone will find the time to build a new recovery for phone CD and someone will be able to compile a working current Android version for phone EF in order to unleash the full capability of some hardware I own. Think I should switch back into search mode, throw in a couple of bucks more and get a M$ tablet without some artificially cripled firmware and instead the guarantee to sustain a current software version with all relevant bug and security fixes during the product's life time...
I just got my M3 tab today, noticed this same problem.
Checked from google and found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ultiaccount&rdid=com.excelliance.multiaccount
Installing this shows warning about virus, so deleted instally.
Could someone check if this is really virus or false alarm?
Hm, install a Chinese app to get a single second user as a poor replacement for something that's build in but has been willfully ablated by the manufacturer - I wouldn't be willing to do that...
