Hardware

  • RileyLink
  • Full Android Smartwatch Tested so far:
    • Kospet Optimus Pro
    • Finow X7

Install the required software

  • From Play Store:
    • Install Google Drive (or some way to get apps/files onto the watch)
    • Install Nova Launcher (Prime is recommended -- it gives more widget options and the Devs deserve the money)
  • Install xDrip+
  • Install Omnicore (Link?)
  • Install AndroidAPS for Omnicore (Link?)

Setup Battery Optimization

A major drawback of the standalone Android watches (as of mid 2019) is that they have extremely limited battery. The following steps will extend your battery as much as possible.

  • (For Kospet Optimus)
    • Navigate to Settings->Display
      • Turn off Alway Time
      • Reduce Brightness Level
    • Navigate to Settings->Connect->WiFi->Advanced
      • Keep Wifi on during sleep (still assessing this setting)
    • Navigate to Settings->Connect->GPS
      • Mode High Accuracy (Required? I believe so. Battery Saving might work)
    • Navigate to Settings->Power Saver
      • Enable Intelligent power saving (testing)
    • Navigate to Settings->More->Accounts
      • Disable Auto-Sync data
    • Navigate to Settings->More->Battery Cleaner
      • Remove xDrip+, AndroidAPS and Omnicore from battery saver. Enable all other apps.
    • Navigate to Settings->More->App Freeze
      • Remove unused apps. I selected Calculator and Maps
    • Navigate to Settings->More->App Settings
      • Set Home App to Nova Launcher
      • Special Access
        • Remove xDrip+, AAPS, Omnicore from Battery Optimization
        • Add Nova Launcher to Notification Access
