This is a thread to list working sideloaded apps in the Amazfit watch. I have not seen a thread with a list like this so I thought I'd start one.
I'll list apps here that have been tried and their status as working or not.
- Google Calculator - Works
- Invaders for Wear - Launches but screen a little messed up and unplayable
- Google Calendar - Launches but needs google play services to run
- Facebook lite - Does not install
- Hillclimb Racing - Does not install
- Astro File manager - Does not work
- Wear mini launcher - Installs does not work
- Settings app - Seems to work (this is not an app to enable native android settings)
- Google play services 9.0.82 (Compiled for MIPS) - Installs but FCs
- Google Calendar - Installs and goes through start up screens but won't continue without working google play services
- Google Play Store - Installs but says this version is not compatible
- Clockwork mod Tether app - installs and seems to work fine
- Opera Mobile - (compiled for MIPS cpu) installs but crashes
- ADosBox - Installs but crashes
- ES File Explorer - Installs and launches fine but can't show the "next" button
- Temple Run - Does not install
- Holo Launcher - Does not install
- Watch Droid Assistant - works (I have not personally tested this but a few have and said it works good)
If you have any apps that you have tried to install please leave a comment and let me know if it worked or not.

Do you know an app that allows you to do repetitions (interval run) based on time, distance, speed/pace, heart rate and register GPX with GPS track by laps?
As this example for GARMIN FENIX 3:

Popular sleep monitor/alarm Sleep as Android apparently pushes a sleep tracking app to Wear devices automatically. I don't know if you can obtain that and sideload it?

newbie question about barometer.
Just received my Amazfit, so likely it is locked? I want to side load one very specific application. I would like an alitimeter with either dial and needle or big fat numbers showing altitude that is based on the internal barometric pressure sensor. (for flying powered paraglider). The accuracy and update rate of the gps would likely be too low, but I can see from the barometer display that it is quite accurate and can sense the pressure change by moving only 1 or 2 feet up and down. I would also like to be able to "lock" on this screen once it is opened so it doesn't automatically return to the main watch screen.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Bummer. I let it update Saturday when I received it. I'm on 1.3.3a. Does this mean I can't even side load a program?
Nop it means that atm you can't update to a dev-rom or get root.
Sideloading doesn't work for 99% of apps out there, so don't get your hopes up.

I know I'm speaking to some very smart guys.... Perhaps If I buy someone a ham sandwich (or $20), they can write an app that reads the barometer and converts to altitude specifically to fit in the format required by the Amazfit.
please update the list and add Watch Droid Assistant

I have 1.3.3a stock firmware and side loading works for me. I successfully run pressure tracker. The app colors are not optimal for the watch and the sensor stopped responding at some moment. But the experiment showed me at least that side loading works.

strava install & Launches but needs google play services to run
runtastic not install
Why you want to install the Strava app on the Pace?!
Important is only the sync of activity data and this solves the Amazfit App on phone.
I'm sure I've seen some Timer app , and some Workout (repetitions) app for Amazfit somewhere, but are not mentioned here ?

Got update today on Nike app, says syncs with shealth. Don't see how or where to sync
You need the update of s health as well. .. Just got it installed on my note 4. Now I see nike+ integrated in s health...
Thanks. Dumb q. How do you get the shealth update? My galaxy store doesn't show my apps some lollipop
I Dont see anything about sheal in the Nike + running app or s health and they're both updated
I updated everything and I see nothing.
Can you please tell us what to do?
S Health is not a simply app update. Samsung managed to create segmentations on S Health, e.g. each different phone models see different versions of S Health only. My Galaxy Alpha only sees S Health 3.5 that was last updated on Jan 2015.
I downloaded the new apk and updated by myself. Yes, now Nike is in S Health.

I don't know where to download it. My phone shows S Health app in Galaxy app store when it was on 4.4.4. But now with 5.0.2, it no longer shows. S Health is not a simple app to update. It depends on all kind of Samsung services to work. Samsung managed to get million different version of S Health targeting million different models of Samsung phone. I typically just wait and once in a while Samsung will push the S Health update to my phone.
Or you can search for S Health APK but keep in mind it may not work for you specific phone.
Odd thing. Updated to lollipop on my Note 4. S-Health is version 4.1.1.0037. It also now shows up in the Google Play Store as well as the Galaxy Apps store.
Casual jogging.
I've been using Gear S and Nike+ for running on a weekly basis. Here are some battery saving tips I have developed. My watch has no SIM card, so no battery drain that way. I use it simply as a GPS distance-measuring + MP3 player over BT mix.
1) Go to Settings just before a run and turn on "GPS". Usually it gets a signal pretty quickly. Then go to "motions" and disable all. Also, go to S Heath and disable the Pedometer.
2) If you jog with musicConnect your BT headphones. Turn on the Music from the Music player, as Nike does not know how to shuffle (whatever, Nike).
3) Go into Nike+ app, decline Music and Cheer requests. Wait a couple minutes, start your run and watch for the green GPS dot to appear.
When all goes as planned, I get more than two hours battery life (estimated). Went down from 90% to 40% battery life during an 1:25 hour 10 mile run. In theory, if you run fast enough Half-Marathon should be no problem, and if you do not use BT for Music at all, then it can probably go more than 3 hours on a single charge with Motion and Pedometer off. Good enough for casual jogging.
This watch is awesome for casual running. Share your tips, if you have any! Thanks!

There is a Running feature in S Health.
For those that updated, can you still use Nike+ or do you now need to use sHealth, because Nike is integrated into it?
I run every day, and switched from sHealth to Nike+ 2 months ago because the GPS signal would take forever to lock in sHealth. How are things after the update? Is sHealth faster? Nike+ slower?
I keep using the NIKE+ for running, but after the update GPS took about 5-7 minutes to lock...will retry again today or tomorrow.

Thank you thank you!! I have not even looked into possibly updating until I hear user feedback, as I was afraid it may slow down the GPS. Can't wait to hear back from you or others after you next run.
Is anything else new or different?
One more question: does Nike now track your HR? On my Gear S, it never did. Just wondering if that has changed since the update.
Thanks!
HR works for me sometimes, depending on how sweaty my hand is + hair . But it is imprecise, as far as I gather.
GPS lock now takes forever. .. ran yesterday and it pretty much skipped the first 750 meters + fooled around with the watch 5 mins beforehand. It still counts the distance though. I never carry the phone with me though.
Sent from my SM-N915FY using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks strikey17. Is there any benefit to the upgrade that you can see, then? Sounds to me like I should make sure it does not install, if it only slows down the GPS.

How Can I use S health in my Gear S2 to running then sync data with nike+ App?
Nothing to do with the watch app. Nike+ phone app now supports sync data into S Health phone app. Not the other ways around. Your watch S Health app already sync data with S Health app on the phone. So here is how it goes:
Nike+ watch app -> Nike+ phone app->S Health phone app
S Health watch app -> S Health phone app
I'm looking for something that will record the history of apps I've installed and uninstalled. The AppBrain timeline used to do this, but that seems to have disappeared.
I don't want something that tracks my app usage (like Aptrax or Frequency) such that it is always running somehow, I just want it to note when something was installed or uninstalled (and, for bonus points, updated).
There are two other apps in the Play store that seem to offer this. App Usage tracks installs/uninstalls, but also tracks usage. App Install Tracker seems to do what I want... but the reviews aren't so good.
So I'm looking for a recommendation.
Hey buddy, did you finally manage to find an app that does this efficiently? I am on the exact same lookout :-S

I've been using App Install Tracker that I linked above. It seems to record all the installs and uninstalls, but catches some updates (about 1 out of 10). I installed it on a new tablet and forgot to raise the silly default of 100 history entries to the max (2000), so I ended up losing history. It works well enough, but I'd switch to something better if I found it.

Man - it's such a basic need to track install/uninstall history. Especially when I have to troubleshoot a bug and I don't remember what apps I need to reinstall after uninstalling a whole bunch. I guess I am stuck with your solution as much as I would have preferred something more robust.
Any news on your side bro? I haven't yet found a decent app for this yet.
After a lot of work I am presenting you my app to do the following: modeswitch / Spotify Control from SWC, voice dial using Google now.
Requirements:
1. Huifei type (MTCB) head unit
2. Root access
3. Mtc-keys module (thanks MVG-V70)
4. Android 4.4+ Rom
5. For Voice Dialing using Google Now:
a. Headunit service ( thanks Petrows)
b. True contacts app( download inside headunit service), and enter your contacts manually/ sync with Google account ,transfer or restore from phone
Features:
1. acts as HW- SWC-Modeswitch ( radio, music, DVD, Spotify, 2 custom apps)
2. Respects audio Focus of the currently active app. Opening one app mutes/kills audio coming from other apps. (Works for Radio, Music, DVD, Spotify regardless how was the app started, for the two custom apps works only if they are started through mode-Button). (To be fixed in Version 2.1)
3. Control Spotify using next/previous of the steering wheel buttons , regardless how spotify was opened.
4. Disable DVD/ Music/ Spotify in the mode circle.
5. Navigation monitor: If this option is activated, the screen returns in your preferred Navi-App after switching the Mode, if the navi app was already running. Select which Navi-App you are using, or add the package name of the app manualy.
6. it starts playing music automatically in Spotify
7. for devices lacking HW Modeswitch button: either you map an other button as Modeswitch or it can run as sw modeswitch ( as of now the latter will brake the spotify control functionality-- will try to fix it later)
8. Act as a bridge between headunit service from Petrows and Google now to do voice dialing.
Installation:
1. Install and activate MTC-keys ( see its threat for details)
2. Install and activate headunit service from Petrows, inside the app settings activate call from android and install true contacts app.
3. Sync or add contacts to the true contacts app
4. Reboot device
5. Install my app and run it
6. Give Root access to the app when you will ask to
Setup
On the first app launch, it opens app settings with following options:
A. Select to include DVD, Spotify, Music in the mode app list. Add until 2 custom apps if you want.
B. Activate software Modeswitch (if its activated, running the app from app drawer will change the mode)
C. Enter the SWC button code of the Modeswitch button ( default is 2, you can map any other button as well)
D. Choose to monitor your navigation, choose one option or enter navi app package manually
E. Activate or disable voice dialing
F. SAVE SETTINGS
TO OPEN SETTINGS AGAIN ONCE THE SETTINGS ARE SET DELETE APP DATA (ANDROID SETTINGS->APPS->MODESWITCH->Clear DATA) and rerun the app.
6. ONLY IF YOU HAVE A MODESWITCH BUTTON OR WANT TO MAP AN OTHER ONE BUTTON TO ACT AS MODESWITCH:
edit mtc-keys.ini and add this line:
app_XX = com.myapp.modeswitch
XX is the value of modeswitch button code you entered in my app settings, default is 2
How it works:
1, To change mode, just press the modeswitch button (or run the application if you selected software mode in the settings)
2, To make a call: open google now, and say : call "contact name"
Bugs:
1. there is a nag screen if you do a voice call (mobile network is not available) but it doesn't affect the app, so for now it left there.
2. You tell me....
Thanks to:
Petrows (headunit service)
MVG-V70 for MTC-Keys @talalalal for the voice dialing

It should work offline if you download the extra files for the Google now. Didn't try it though.
Hey p_mike83, This is exactly what I was looking for!
Unfortunately didnt get it to work.
To help you further in development or if you have any tips:
JY VQ125 RK3188 16GB unit with Malaysk FUSE ROM of jan 2016.
First I also had car service app running as well to control spotify.
When mode switching didnt work I turned it off as well as as many standard apps trying to get spotify to be your main music player in xposed module or android settings.
It might just be that I don't get mtc-keys to work. Will be doing more tests tomorrow!
On the bright side: voice dialer worked! (now only I have to set google to my native language since it doesnt get all the weird names in dutch )
Keep it up!

Thanks for your comment. I did not try the fuse ROM from malaysk yet, I am on the one before the last. I had with that rom problems settings up mtc-keys. I had to put the mtc-keys folder on an ext SD as on the internal did not work. ( the sdcard is in the GPS slot). On stock rooted ROM it worked on internal sdcard as well.
At the moment the MTC-keys module is needed, as I did not manage to overtake the function of modeswitch without it as the original modeswitch continues to work along with mine. ( leading in disaster).
And stg more, you have to make sure than in my app settings you entered the keyboard code of your modeswitch button ( default is 2)
Wow, just downloaded this app so i could use my unit as a real handsfree calling system, and now works like a charm! Set up google app to always listen to "ok google" so i can place a call without going into the app. The only problem is that the unit has to be connected to the internet, even with the downloaded languages. Is there any way to fix that? Not much of a problem as i have set up a profile on my phone so whenever it connects to the unit through bluetooth it starts the wifi hotspot, so the unit will connect and everything fine, but if offline was possible, less data the unit would use through the phone, as well as less battery the phone would use too. Thanks @p_mike83 for your work!!

Last night I also tried offline recognition but failed on my unit. I have some ideas to try , maybe I find a workaround.
As of the nag, i will try to remove it in future versions, since it doesn't affect the functionality of the app.
OK I got it working too!
It was indeed the FUSE version that kept mtc-keys from working.
Placing the folder to your external SD AND deleting the one on internal SD did the trick.
Issues I can come up with:
- since my head unit has 2 mute buttons I figured I'd use one - the right tuning knob on push - to mode switch. But sometimes the unit still mutes. Can't yet tell when, sometimes it picks up the mute and unmutes it it seems.
- spotify does not auto play. Is there maybe a way you need to setup spotify? Perhaps we can tweak it to play a certain playlist as well ie.: Data: spotify:user:<USER ID>laylist:<PLAYLIST ID>lay (some tasker input details, perhaps they help or inpire you)
- lastly, is there a way to exclude music from the mode cycle? Since I use spotify as my main music source there's no need for the unit to cycle radio - music - spotify - radio etc.?
Tnx again! Love tweaking this sort of thing till we get it perfect!

do those mute buttons share the same button code? check that you entered the correct code in the app settings
spotify should autoplay if you open it with modeswitch, without needing you to setup anything. it continues to play the last played album/playlist. Maybe your unit needs a little more time opening spotify, so that the play command does not work. Do you have a RK3066 device maybe?
i will think about an option to play a certain playlist, but for now there are other more important things to do. Anyway you can search an artist/song etc with google now as well.
As for the option to disable music, i had it implemented in an earlier version of my app but removed it, cause i thought that it will not be necessary. i can add a switch for that as well, or maybe to choose from a butch of music apps (eg jetaudio)
what do you all think?
Do you have any other suggestions?

- spotify does not auto play. Is there maybe a way you need to setup spotify?

new version updated, with increased waiting time to auto start playing spotify.
Maybe you have to clean app data and set the settings again to take effect.
Please comment if it worked for you.

Will check the update tomorrow!
Btw I have a RK3188 so I dont think speed is the issue.
Also the mute buttons both have a different keys, still haven't figured out how they work exactly.
I'm thinking spotify start may also have to do with spotify not beeing in offline modus. Changed it, again will report manana.

yes i saw later that you mention you have a 3188 JY unit. i am also using spotify online, and it used to auto play. anyway i have set the waiting time to ca 5 seconds, i think is enough for spotify to open. but remember, a playlist/album on spotify should have beeing played before (anytime), otherwise spotify doesnt know what to play !

Hey Mike, I'm not sure what the intended behouviour is. When playing a playlist in shuffle play on spotify, then switching to radio and some time later back again, does not resume playback of spotify. I guess thats not working for anyone or is it? It's not a huge problem for me, love the mode switching button anyway Pressing shuffle play is no big deal.
However I suspect some other app interfering with spotify too. Since it comes up as standard player and pops up sometime as well. I'll try to sort this out first before testing further.
Btw I had a very busy weekend so no time to check the update yet.

i tested also a playlist, and its start playing automatically after switching to spotify. i am not using any other app that can set the default media player (eg xposedmtc).
what do you mean : Since it comes up as standard player and pops up sometime as well. ?
Great work p_mike83, voice dialing working perfect now thanks
Did you create the app in Tasker? If so, would you mind sharing your Tasker files with me? I have a Tasker project just now that allows me to reply to SMS messages in the headunit but I was interested in seeing how you pull the number for the contact so I could try implementing a way of creating a new message rather than only being able to reply to messages.
Ever since I got the most software update earlier July 2017 on my Zenwatch 2, my Zenwatch 2's battery is horrible, it barely last 10 hours with a little usage with brightness set to lowest. I did factory reset hope to fix the issue, after I did factory reset I was trying to download my watch face back to my watch, I noticed it is not showing up at all so I try download any other watch faces and none of it are showing on the Android Wear app. Currently I am stuck using only stock watch faces. Anyone else having similar issue?
You have to add the custom watch faces in face designer on the watch. Swipe left and tap add more watch faces at the right hand end of the list of watch faces. You need to also have the custom watch face app or apps installed on both your phone and watch.
You will need to go into your play store on the watch and add the custom face apps to the watch. You should see any app that is on your phone and which has a complimentary watch app in the list at the bottom of the scroll called apps on your phone.

I did do that, before the new update any watch faces I download show up in the Android Wear app, right now none of the custom watch faces I download are showing in Android Wear.
They won't. It works a bit different now. You have to use the app that comes with each one to manage them and then add them to your watch as I detailed.

I noticed only the watch faces I download directly from the Watch's Play store showed up on my watch and my Android Wear app, but any watch faces I download from Play store on my phone is not showing up on neither my watch or Android Wear, so base on what I found out is that if any of my previous purchase of watch faces didn't found on the app store on my watch that basically mean it is not supported in the latest version of Android Wear.
That could bead well. Just like anything the app developer has to update his or her app to work with aw 2.0

You must go on the "PlayStore" app on YOUR watch and look at the section "app from phone" to install faces/apps wich is yet on your phone. With Wear 2, phone faces/apps are not automatically installed on the watch. Users must install all or only the one they want.

If that the case then I will say I HATE this update, it used to be so easier if I want to download watch face on my watch I can download on my phone Play Store then it will automatically add to my watch. Also I quite sure new update rendered my Zenwatch's battery unusable, my battery drop 100% to 5% within 10 hours, I used to get to able through almost 2 full days without charging it.
Have you performed a factory reset on the watch?

Yes, twin already. Didn't helped for now I am force to turned off ambient mode and set brightness to lowest just get watch with usable battery life again though still no luck getting back the watch face "LED Time" I purchased download to my watch. I am currently addressing this issue to the developer who made that face watch so hopefully that issue can be fixed from the developer who design the watch face. I am extremely irritated with new update that screw up my watch. By the way trying find watch face on my watch by typing in name with small tiny screen was fun! (sarcasm). I wish someone would make those developers who released the latest Android Wear update to type on their Smartwatch with their life depend on it.
Turn off automatic wifi as that uses lots of power and likely you did not have that turned on with 1.5
My battery life was pretty bad for a few days after the update, but once I let it run down completely and die, then charge to 100% it was back to normal.

I hope that is the case, I charge my watch to 100% took it off the charger around 1pm by 11pm my battery life down to 5%. Since I turn ambient mode off battery seen to getting better even though I previously had ambient turn on the entire time before the update and my watch managed to last almost 2 full days.

Actually I did have my wifi turn on as well as ambient turn on before 2.0 update. that was my setting and it lasts me almost 2 days. I don't use my watch to make call or send text message, I mainly use it just to check a few notification though out the day and obviously to tell time so I don't have heavy usage on it.
The latest update to the Android Wear app on your phone.should allow watch face modding and changes once again from the app.
This is a flashable zip to delete all unnecessary stock apps using custom recovery.
You must have TWRP/RWRP installed (Guide to achieve this is HERE).
This zip is usable for both Stock and Custom ROMs.
Benefits :
More system space.
Better battery.
Cleaner app drawer.
List of apps removed :
Asus Service Center
Asus Calculator
Bloatware apps (Babe,Lazada,Shopee)
Facebook
Go2Pay
Google Calender
Google Drive
Google Duo
Google Mail
Google Maps
Google Messeging
Google Movies and TV
Google Music
Google Photos
Google Search
Instagram
Redundant wallpapers
YouTube
To install,
Download attached Debloat script.
Backup Data and everything else necessary.
REMEMBER this is tested on my primary device but the risk is entirely yours if you try this.
I will try to help in case of issues.
If on Android Pie then first mount /system partition in TWRP.
Flash via Recovery (nothing to be cleaned after flash)
Reboot.
If you see any of the above system app in app drawer after flashing this - then it is left due to App updates. You can uninstall them like a regular app and they won't bother you again.
Please create single file with Aroma support so people can decide what they want to uninstall.
Just a request

I'm having problem with multi touch, it's annoying when playing games.
And sometimes my phone took so long to charge. I tried using stock adapter, and ugreen with quick charge 3.0. But still doesn't make any difference. So i think it's software related issue.
Can you make a fix for these problem? Like custom kernel so it can charge faster?

I can work on with the help of similar fix used in Pixel phones. A magisk based solution but it will be fixed officially with next OTA containing June security patch so not worth the effort.
Wait for OTA it is android bug.
My phone is stuck on Zenfone Logo and I'm on 311. It's stuck there for about 3 min. and that's not normal, I think.

Just out of Curosity, why are you calling WebView, Google Mail(GMAIL), Calendar Plugin (and some more) as bloatware ?

WebView is just an additional app for me .. I use Chrome Dev which can provide me WebView.
I use Google Inbox and user should have an ability to remove this app.
Calendar plugin is just an addon for people who do not use Google Calendar to keep track of shedules.
It's all personal opinion and most of the apps are available in PlayStore so you have the alternate to install the apps as user apps.

Using this mod with your twrp-flashable ROM (318). Excellent work, really great. Will you implement the aroma-options? Also, i tried using the Google wallpapers app, but i don't even see the 'refresh wallpaper daily option'. Any workaround for that?

Thank you for appreciation of the work
Trying to find time for implementing Aroma installer.
The wallpaper issue is due to Live Wallpaper Picker being removed from v305 in the device.
You can use THIS MODULE to fix it.

Thanks a lot. Works on 6gb version too. Usual debloater script. Haven't tried extreme.
Somehow unistalling chrome or something from Root Explorer was breaking things in the OS.

Thanks Avinash for this.
Just a polite suggestion - Can you add 1. Google talkback & 2. Google TTS in the script?
Found some more bloatware in /system/priv-app
1. Yandex app.
2. Yandex browser.
Wtf. The package name or anything isn't even showing in Titanium Backup!

Yes, not active I suppose. Maybe something to do with permissions. Even if you delete it, the folder remains although the contents get deleted

I deleted those folders too via twrp file manager.
Also FM, talkback & google tts.
And 2 more bloatware like Ibook and someother starting with "A".
All the above from either /system/app or system/priv-app.
