At the time of writing this blog, the working Health Beta version was
10.0.1.21 - WearBeta and the Watch GT (series 1) version was 1.0.9.6.
Watch GT has a great potential to showcase
some amazing watch faces because of its AMOLED screen and a variety of watch-face
creators. Some of the designs are a direct copy of Samsung Tizen watch face
designs. There is no way those designs will make it to Huawei as Samsung
watches are Tizen OS based Smartwatches, which can give you shortcuts, allow
installing apps, whereas the GT supports merely image-based watch-faces (for now maybe).
Below
is the process to enable the Developer mode to try out various themes (hwt)
files and get the most out of GT from the watch-faces standpoint. These
watch-faces support a maximum of 20 widgets. In case after installing a
watch-face, the screen goes blank, you will have to reset the watch. So be
careful when installing a watch-face taken from the web.
Broadly there are
two steps.
1. Getting a Chinese ID from Huawei site
ID created on Huawei
with location is China. Changing the location of old id won't work, don't waste
your time
2. Installing the Huawei Health Wear Beta App
(currently,
supported version is 10.0.1.21)
Steps to
create Chinese Huawei ID:
Don't Change/translate the language of the
webpage refer to this screenshot. Or keep translating and non-translating this
page (why is below) Or change to English or as per preference and select China.
and back to Chinese.
2. Provide Valid Email ID and Verify the
Email by clicking on "Obtain verification Code" ( you cant click this
unless you are in the Chinese language because of overlay text.)
3. Complete slide action by clicking here.
You have to slide the tile to match the empty tile area.
4. As Phone number is mandatory to provide a
valid phone number and verify you can try your country. This is where the
problem comes sometimes, Some countries it works and for some countries, it
won't. maybe because of rates or something, I'm not sure. It worked for India.
Same way like email, get verification code on SMS and you are thru to final
steps in creating a Chinese id.
5. Enter details and complete form, Click on
register
Voila... Half of the
work is done..... Congrats, get yourself a beer or a coffee as you
need...
Once the account is created Following steps
should be executed in your Android Mobile(Android Version 5 +)
1) Put the Mobile in the Airplane Mode.
2) Connect to the Wifi and turn on the
Bluetooth
3) Download Huawei ID Service app from the
Playstore, this is needed if you dont hv Huawei/ honor phone.
4) Download HiHealthBeta app (10.0.1.21)
from the url( HERE)
and Install it.
5) Open the app and select the country as
China.
6) Login to the app using the credentials
created in part 1 above.

How to set a new watch face (only 1 can be passed at a time)
Open Wear beta app and follow below. Some
users say you have to go to Airplane mode and again turn on the Wifi and
Bluetooth and follow the same process below. For me it works without going to
airplane mode.
Prerequisite: Download the hwt you want to install. Keep it in a
separate folder and not download. If you try from download folder, it does not
work.
As per latest update before opening health beta disable data (internet and Mobile)
Once you are on devices tab, enable data. Enjoy the amoled screen and variety of custom watch faces.

ReplyDeleteI have one question.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible to have a analogue 24h Watch face on the GT2 from Huawei?

Thank you in advance, best regards,

Does not work with 10.0. 3.011
ReplyDeleteIs not working on 10.0.1.21 beta. Frimeware is 1.0.11.8 in December 2019.
ReplyDeleteAfter first start of 10.0.1.21 beta and adding GT2 - watchfaces tab can't be enabled. Message displayed is: "Serve error, please contact Huawei's customer service".
ReplyDeleteWhat did i do wrong?
with the updated Version 10.0.03.018 beta I was able to enter the watchfaces tab where a lot of payable and free watchfaces where shown. But it was not possible to get the "upload watchface" button.
DeleteGuys it still works with . 21 version.
ReplyDeleteOnly that version works.
Even if you get error for server if you get three dotsb it will work. That's how it's working now on my mobile.
Else root your phone n then using Xposed module, you don't need Chinese id also. That is the only other option.
I can't see the option Upload watch faces on the last screen. I can only see privacy statement when I followed the instructions. Can somebody help me please. I have got a chinese account and I installed the Beta version. Everything went well except for uploading the watch faces.
ReplyDeleteI installed version 21 and when it doesn't work I installed version 10.0.04.. and it still doesn't work.
DeleteIt works, thanks
ReplyDeleteit worked. Lenovo A7000-a, Android 6.
ReplyDeleteHWT needs to be in internal SD for my case to work.
The Theme Privacy step of this guide is important.
Thanks Niranjan!
