Smart watch 2 compatibility

[saoisrare]

is there any way i can get my smart watch 2 to work with my Mytouch q made by Huawei? i originally had a sony xperia z1 but it was destroyed in the gym .. like can i root it and upgrade it to kit kat or something ... any ideas or is this a lost hope?

The SW2 will only work with Android phones running v4.x onwards, so unless the Mytouch Q has received such an update you're out of luck I'm afraid.

The first thing is to check whether anyone has made a (stable) KitKat ROM for that phone - or at least an ICS (4.0) ROM. I've glanced at XDA-Developers and they don't seem to have a forum for the device, which isn't a good sign but doesn't necessarily mean that nobody has done it somewhere else.

P.S. Welcome to the forum

is this a legit rom

I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole while wearing surgical gloves.

The first warning sign is "Sony" - what have they got to do with anything related to Huawei? Then there's the fact that every "guide" is an identical cut-and-paste, even down to the three links supposedly for the ROM.zip. Whether it's Android 1.6 or 4.4, regardless of device, the files are the same. That's simply wrong.

edit: the links are actually AdFly-hosted, which means the uploader gets a kickback every time the file is downloaded. That's even more suspicious... I'm tempted to d/l just to find out what's in there.
