Amazfit Enable app list on US/CN through adb

[Cracklydisc]

In CN version you can active the app list in the watch, if you have not already enabled "Launcher App List", go to "More Settings" -> "About" -> Keep clicking legal information till you see countdown to zero. Once that is done, you will have the Lab link below. Click on Lab and select "Launcher AppList". This will restart your Launcher. Now go to the Right most app from your watch face, you will see the Launcher.

This method allows you to activate the app list also on the American versions so as to use the third-party app!

• Connect the watch to your computer via USB and access via ADB (install ADB Drivers as needed)
• Open command prompt or shell
• Enter the commands :

adb shell
> /sdcard/launcher_config.ini
am force-stop com.huami.watch.launcher

After Launcher restart you can go to the Right most app from your watch face and you will see the App List.

Thank you very much! US firmware 1.3.1, this did work. I was able to install and use AmazfitCNTimer.apk without installing Chinese firmware.

# SEE EDIT!

On 1.3.1m watch model a1612 your instructions return:

adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038 *
* daemon started successfully *
root@watch:/ # /sdcard/launcher_config.ini
/sdcard/launcher_config.ini
/system/bin/sh: /sdcard/launcher_config.ini: not found

Further, if I proceed to force-stop the launcher does restart but of course there is no app launcher as expected.

# EDIT

Just realized I needed to include the '>' to create the file. I'll take noob mistakes for 500, Alex.

After adb shell command you need to write this command:

> /sdcard/launcher_config.ini
am force-stop com.huami.watch.launcher

mmm

you can open with explorer the watch and create the "launcher_config.ini" file .
After the file creation you need to restart the watch, can you try this method?

Ok
I've created the file (empty) et placed it in the root of Amazfit
I enter in CMD the adb shell : it indicates a wrong way

after the file copy you only need to restart the watch and look if the applist is active

c:\adb shell
shell@watch:/ $

Worked for me on 1.3.2b
Please, don't forget to type ">" after the "shell@watch:/ $" prompt ; it makes all the difference

So this allows you to open almost any sideloaded apk installed on the watch?

It allows you to open all sideloaded apps.
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ALL APPS WILL WORK.

It's only the app starter.

Hi

Are you sure you installed correct drivers?
For me that was the problem

 

[mclaudio]

Hello there. I was using this metod on last 1.3.2b update and it was working.

Now i've received 1.3.3a, that should have app list by default.

But it desapparead from the watch, and also using this method, i have no more app list.

any idea?

PS:
Amazfit PACE US

Jun 2017 firmware 1.3.3a was supposed to include the app list as a feature.
I tried to enable it by going in to the menu > About > Legal and tapping 5 times but there was no app list in the new Lab menu.
So I tried the adb shell command and it worked.
To reverse this, do we just delete the launcher_config.ini?

Also, I tried to pull that file and look at it but couldn't:

adb pull /sdcard/launcher_config.ini c:/temp

Got no errors, but got no file in C:\temp.

For me didn't worked... Maybe because i've activated it on 1.3.2b with adb?
