Ulefone GW01 runs with firmware of No.1 G3

[iLLiCiTgr]

How long does your battery last after flashing the No1 firmware?
Mine lasted a little over 2 days (w/ bluetooth enabled) and now last close to 1 day. That is a little displeasing.

When charged full on the notification bar, the battery is filled about 80% but on the menu it shows 100%.

Finally, i'm back into the show. I got my new watch today.
Before i flash again, did a backup using the "Universal ReadBack Extractor" version 2.4 and length setting 0x01000000" in the flash tool.
The "How-to" and the tool itself can be found here:

I attached my firmware to this post.

I had not much time to check it yet, but it is a different version compared to what i had before.
Version is shown as "R02S_GW01_T6_L2_G4_A_160526"

Differences:
- In the display options, you can set now the "screen time" to "never out". This woks fine if you disable the "wake-up gesture".
- The "height" is now stored properly in pedometer settings
- The "main menue settings" screen "round dial" is gone and we got a simple "list style" view. But i still prefer the "4 apps" view.

Yes. Noticed the battery performance on g3 firmware drop compare to original firmware. I have BT off but steps on, only last 2-3 days and last time was 4 days. Not sure if is still due to batt deteriorate overtime or what. Might flash back original to test.

Lemfo lem1

I have a lemfo lem1. Can I flash it with No1 g3 firmware so I can add more watch faces. Thanks

 

[a.woellert]

That works great with the Backup.

I backed up my GW01 Firmware.
R02S_GW01_2_T6_L2_G4_A_160801

Can this be a newer one?

Now i will play more with the Watch



EDIT:
And when this procedures works with the No.1 G3, it can work with the No.1 G5 Firmware too. But i can not find the G5 Firmware in the internet.

Also can it be, that the G3 Firmware do not support digital clock Skins?

Hi. thank you for your backup. I brick my watch today. And have reflash Jeorge backup., but well the height not registered properly. Then I saw your backup, problem solved, and really love the new setting menu and pedometer. My initial firmware actually can register properly the height, and does not have the roman analog and the simple digital face. It have galaxy and sea digital face. kinda cool. Unfortunately I forgot to backup. Just received the watch today.
I was experimenting with my custom vxp watch face, and thats why I bricked my watch haha.

[Ezergecerus]

I can't add watch faces

@Tornator
A million thanks for your bravery and sharing it with us.
I've thought of it too, as both GW01 and No1 G3 have the exact same hardware but didnt have the guts to try it.
But seeing your post i did try it and it works!

Now i'm just sitting on photoshop all day designing custom watchfaces.

For anyone interested these are the first
Game of Thrones


I have flashed with the No1 G3 But cannot add the watch faces... How to do that? I tried placing images inside clock folder from my PC. but nothing is showing up . Could you please help me in doing this

 

[syam84]

there is no clock folder

Hi,
I can't find the clock folder when connecting ass mas storage as well as in file manager. Any TIP?

 

[Smith 001]

Hi,I wonder if this new gw01 works well.I saw they recommended D5+ users to flash the x3 firmware.I have no idea,whether this method would probably brick the watch.
And about watch faces,you can search the G3 thread, there a generous man keep updating the faces.
ClockSkin is the name of watch faces folder,if you can't find it just create a new one.

 

[Rafa.Jácome]

Thanks!!!

You are Great!!!

 

[Xandor020]

As it is possible to install watch faces via vxp files, i would not use the NO.1 G3 firmware for GW01 anymore.
If you like the G3 firmware, please see how-to in the g3 threads.
