APPLLP MAX S999 + other HEBS types - UNSUPPORTED - posts left here

,

Can anyone who owns a S999 max and who has had a LEMT in the past, tell us their experience regarding the difference in performance? I have recently purchased a LEM12 PRO, which has the same cpu as the S999, the performances are considerably better than those I had with the LEMT, but I think the lower resolution of the display also coincides: 400x400, S999 and LEMT have a resolution larger, and certainly this affects the speed

I have one and it is the only smart watch I regret buying. It’s shame - the design is beautiful and it gets so many things right. It should have been a huge upgrade over the LEM T. However it is crippled by the firmware. One example is apps can’t be given administration privileges which is a non-starter for me. As for performance it should be better than the T but I would stay away.

thank your for reply, administrative privileges, do you mean the classic permissions for the app or those of root?

It’s a regular non-root permission. Another fatal flaw for me is it doesn’t restart apps after booting.

this is very bad news for me, I use a lot of tasker, this limitation will surely be an obstacle. have you tried with the hidden settings, if this admin menu is found?I remember a similar problem on some Huawei firmware, thanks

I’ve seen a new watch (zgpax q668)on Amazon that seems nice but the styling and specs seem kin to the s999 we don’t speak of … so I’m wondering if anyone can confirm that the software on this one would disappoint the same way the s999 does?

Its A9 and unsupported so i wouldnt expect much . Sorry

Buy pro in max version there is some restrictions
For example right now I can’t download normal facebook can’t update google asistant
But most of app u can download from play store
So my verdicte is if it’s ok for you that u can use only facebook lite and don’t need google assistant in watch than u can buy max version
One more thing u can’t update watch to android 10(in app llp max) keep that in mind

This topic is closed for a reason.
Any comments about this device and others will be placed here to avoid confusion.
Not being rude, but it has been said so many times and explained here:

I learned from this XDA thread about generic Android builds and that they work on the S999. Since I had a useless S999 laying around I decided to try it and followed this guide. After much tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth I got Android 10 up and running and setup so that my S999 is now up to the standards we expect here (with a few minor quirks).Yee haw!

I also had a Q668 and since it seemed to be the same platform I tried it there, using the same system image, and if anything it works even better than on the S999! I am a happy boy.

To anyone thinking of buying one these watches to do the same, my advice is: DON’T! At least not without knowing what you’re getting into and not without relevant experience.

I still know very little about generic system images so this might be a dumb question, but would it be feasible to create a generic FAW build for watches that are Project Treble compliant? Is so perhaps I can help.

We already tried it with Android 12 and it doesn’t work due to issues with the modem and Google framework and custom drivers for things like HR sensor, and raise to wake.
Thanks anyway.

OK, too bad. FWIW the Google ecosystem, HR, and lift to wake are all working flawlessly so far in the A10 GSI I’m using (crdoid). I haven’t tried a SIM card yet.

Yep, even though I have the source code for A10, the A12 system doesn’t work with the modem library and various other important drivers.
It’s probably due to the customised kernel drivers used.
We got A12 booting and usable to an extent on a LEM 12 pro. But no modem, no heart rate sensor and GMS just not possible.

Ok, the modem is now working.
A lot of work still to be done and I am not sure if we have time. :pensive:

Hello dear colleagues!
I haven’t posted anything on the forum for a long time, but I have quite serious personal problems.
I decided to get away from my problems a bit and took out the APPLLP MAX smartwatch (variant S999) from the drawer, which had been there since December '22.


I decided to “humanize” this device a bit because the original software is nasty. I described my experience on my website.

I divided my work into five parts:

  1. Unlocking bootloader

I finally found a way to unlock devices without volume buttons!!!

  1. Flashing Custom ROM.

  2. Root the system.

  3. Application installation.
    capture_07042023_164949

The last part is trying to do a smartwatch function on a custom ROM.
And here I have a question for my esteemed colleagues: Have any of you found an application that can display clockskin on the screensaver or as a screen lock?

There is an app by Eric that can display a single watchface of your choice. However, it is no longer available in the playstore and I can’t find the download link anywhere.
Maybe @Eric_Crochemore can help.
