Supersu and Xposed

I've recently acquired myself a kw88 and decided to do some playing around. I rooted with Kingroot later to replace with Supersu. I figured why stop there. I was nervous at the idea of bootloop or even worse but iinstalled Xposed framework with no issues. Its been a fun little watch to play with.

sorry to all, anyone have experience with kw18 heart rate monitor? accurate?

KW18 is not supported here. It is not a full Android watch.

Hi,
How you replace the KINGROOT by Supersu with the binary?

 

[DroidDarkKnight]

Well first I tried Supersume but had no luck. Eventually I found a zip and script called "replace kingroot with supersu". I believe I found it on XDA. Downloaded terminal emulator ran the script and it was done.

I already have supersu working on my kw88. After a few attempts, because It always made errors, I did.

Thanks, :highfive:

same watch as kw88 . does anyone knows how to installAsteroidOS on kw88?

i was reading a article today 8/24 (AsteroidOS finally gets its own smartwatch with the Connect Watch) which is the same as kw88.

According to their docs https://asteroidos.org/wiki/porting-status/
It sadly states "Other low-end smartwatches using cheap Mediatek SoCs aren’t able to run a Linux kernel and can’t be supported by AsteroidOS".
So they must be using another SoC.

Anyone had any luck rooting the KW88?
I've tried using Kingroot, no luck unfortunately.

How you replace the KINGROOT by Supersu with the binary?

Can you provide the steps to root the kw88?

KW88 vs. Zeblaze Thor - Universal Launcher

Hi folks,

I’m hoping there is someone with the same experience I’m having, or at least someone who could explain what happening. I have both the KW88 and the Zeblaze Thor watches. I believe they have the same processors (MTK6580) but they behave differently with the Universal Launcher installed. On the KW88 I am able to long press and sort through all my saved watch faces. When I find one I like, I long press again and that becomes the new face. This is the desired behavior. On the Zeblaze Thor, I can long press and see my selection of watches, but when I select one, it doesn’t take effect until I reboot the watch. No matter which face I choose, it always reverts back to the original face until a reboot. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what is happening and/or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Another question:

With the universal launcher installed, many of the buttons previously inactive on faces in the clockskin folder are now active. But not all of them. Is there a way of telling which faces will be supported by the launcher? Also, how does one go about installing a face from Watchmaker? You can’t use cloud sync. Do you download the faces from the Watchmaker page and copy them into the clockskin directory ?

Thanks

k88 app

Hello !!
I recently bought the kingwear k88 and wanted to know if it has an app that can respond to whatsapp and sms messages on my LG g6 with a bluetooth connection
*The app that I have (wiiwatch) only shows the alerts and does not have the option to respond to the messages and when I charge the phone every second the watch bounces and vibrates from Jesus can help me I've already searched a lot of apps but no one connects to the watch

I have a new KW88 and it won't stay connected to a phone... I have tried with a Chinese android and now a new s8 plus, it disconnects and reconnects on it's own every few seconds and the vibration when it does it really winds me up.. I have contacted the person on ebay I bought it from but not getting much joy from them.. I have used 5 different apps to connect it but makes no difference. Currently it sits in the box.
Does anybody on this thread have one that actually works?

Try the m2d apps...you should install m2d sender + m2d bluetooth manager in your phone, and m2d receiver + m2d bluetooth manager in your KW88.
I've tried this apps and works well...the downside is you can't control your phone camera and music apps because you can't use the native apps + wiiwatch if you use these apps.

 

[pablo11]

The other problem is the battery drain using these apps.
The built-in WiiWatch app is good if you have the kw88 pro... But you can't use it to reply to messages.
If you have the m6580 kw88 running Android 5.1 you can use the BT connection for making calls through your phone.. But not with the KW88 Pro...

I have KW88 Pro and can't sign in to google. I knw it's a Chinese Rom with Android 7 in it.. but Im sure there is a way to get connected to google some how.. Kindly help me in this matter..

I only recently became interested in this watch. It is the most attractive watch I could find to install Linux AsteroidOS on it:

Unfortunately, Bluetooth seems not to work on AsteroidOS, and eventually also WIFI. How can this be solved?
