After some days in panic because I lost my most important tool to control my health/fitness, finally I found a workaround to use the old algorithm :-)
I am sharing in the hope to help the other users that are also in the same situation - for instance look at this feedback at Skulpt Facebook page:
So, I am using a Skultp Aim that have the new firmware and that is prepared in some way to the new bad algorithm:
But finally I found a way to use the good old algorithm even if is a workaround.
Advantages:
- have your Skulpt work good again ;-)
Disadvantages
- need to start a new fresh account and so not able to continue using your old data like (like I had of one full year!)
- need to use the old version of the app
- need to do the quick test using only the app and not the Skulpt
- the values show on Skulpt for MQ seems to use the new algorithm (but you can see the real value on the app)
How to get it:
- Remove the new app and install the old app "com.skulpt.aim-1.0.11.3-2016-03-10.apk" that you can download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2BqG7RkkdgGRGVJaUNLSEpBRG
- Reset your Skulpt
- Create a new account on Skulpt app and setup your account
- Every time you need measure yourself using the quick test, start it from the app AND NOT from the Skulpt Aim - from the app it will measure your 4 muscles and outputs the "good values" while using Skulpt Aim will only measures the 3 muscles and output the "new bad" values.
Some screenshots I took today.
When I did the first test, when setting the user for the first time - as you can see the app ask you to do the 4 muscles test:
Then I made more quick tests and got my results - and yes, I went from 14% fat to 15.8% on last days in part thanks to the stress for not having Skulpt Aim working :-(
I hope this workaround will keep working until

I am being using Skulpt Aim for almost 1 year, doing daily measures and it is the most relevant piece of fitness and health technology I use (in second place is the Fitbit Charge HR that I also use).
Here are the graphs showing the all measures I did all over this time - first the body fat % and after the muscle (MQ). I got very good results and took me a lot of effort:

I went to update the app and got this messages, that also obligated to update the Skulpt Aim firmware:
And after the first measure, my body fat % jumped from 14% to 20%!!
I went o Facebook page of Skulpt Aim where I found many users with the same problem:
So, my advice is for avoid the firwmare update!!! -- you can download the old app version (Version: 1.0.11.3) and use it - find it here:
https://apkpure.com/skulpt/com.skulpt.aim?hl=en
And I am doing just that, because I have another spare unit of Skulpt Aim and I am now using it with the Android app version 1.0.11.3.
I really hope that Skulp will roll back the the old algorithm that seems to output real values.
