Today I have good news for you ! Managed to ACTIVATE ALL FACES on Zeblaze Blitz watch ^^
No, don’t send me flowers, will make a package as soon I will check all is fine because some tweaks are to be done before all work well… ^^
EDIT : All seems stable. Now we have 76 Faces against 25 initially ^^ Next step is to create a package to explain howto mod the watch with the files I have made…
@Kenneth_Tan Ok, starting a Kickstarter project to raise funds and make business with watch modding ! LOL ! Visa, Mastercard, American Express are accepted ^^
@Kirk_Booth Had to modify smali code (re-compiled from Java and also some tweaks inside the APK (rebuilt, re-signed, reassemble dex, voodoo spells, ouija…), routine, in fact. For infos, just received my watch 5 days ago ^^ I need to sleep sometimes ^^ I receive a drone today, think i’m going to make an interstellar spaceship with it ^^ lol
You’re welcome to help in a few days after 1st package done, will need some beta testers… Don’t have the money to get all the watches myself ^^
Ohhhh sh**! I guess that every blitz buyer is now looking for some fireworks and celebrating ahah
Congratulations and thanks for your amazing work. Now get some rest!
The lack of user customizable watchfaces is killing the Chinese smartwatch market.
They really need to step it up, because although I’ve managed to solve the problem with my Launcher method, this solution is not easy to implement for the casual fashion minded smartwatch “dresser” They need simple and easy to implement systems.
The average Android user should be capable to apply my method.
And since last night I worked out how to port all (or most) existing watchfaces to the MTK6580 Android Lollipop 5.1 watches.
There is no support for seconds or continuous moving parts (yet), it is not implemented because it causes to much drain on the batteries.
Going to make a tutorial this week, have to do my photography business first. Customers are waiting…
But these watches are so powerful and fun to work on, they constantly keep me from doing my job…
@Olimatou you keep working on a solid solution to stay with the standard launcher, so the masses will get access to an easy option!
@Olimatou Hi I think I’ve discovered the .smali file that requires editing… ClockUtil.smali? I’ve noticed that it references 11 clock faces (re: the 11 faces installed on the KW88) and there’s also the full 76 faces referenced separate to this. Is this the same file you edited?
@Kirk_Booth yes this is the file to recompile to smali for this ^^ See the picture in my other post… You will need rooted device also, so you will have to modify boot and ramdisk to unlock the watch… Don’t forget to sign apk and apply chmod 644 in system/app… You will have to allow installation of unknown sources in dev options or you will get stuck at boot… You can use XInstaller from Xposed framework to get your settings on installing the new built apk, but replacing the system app is not an option but mandatory ^^ Don’t loose time on directly editing .smali files… Get Java source, then modify code and recompile to smali with Android SDK… Will recommend to use PuttyTray for ADB shell sessions on connected watch, a must have ^^
Cheers for your comment. I’d already realised that java was the simpler option, currently editing the file so that mClockList contains all of the watch faces. Now on to obtaining root
@Kirk_Booth yep, get java2smali, install it in your android studio, get SDK v22, correct the code before compiling, then rebuild apk with modified .smali file, sign, install in system/app, and so on…
