    Good day,

    I have a KW06 smart watch.
    Unfortunately the ‘Gesture’ functions are not working.
    I can not count my steps count and ‘screen on raising’ don’t work.

    The rest of functions are working very well!

    I tested it with accelerometer tester.
    The tests are recognised the accelerometer but it is not working.

    Can I eliminate this problem with your TWRP?

    Thank you for your answer in advance,

    Zsolt
