Its no problem at all. Just treat it like you did the previous firmwares. When an update comes out just use Odin and flash it that way. Or just flash the original firmware then do the OTA update.

thats saying that because its rooted but just remove root by reflashing and it goes away.

Has anyone who is using Tizen ROOTED been able to install the new watch-styler.

The apk installs fine on the phone, but says Failed to Install on the rooted Tizen Gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fogame:
Through gear manager yes. Just like root on a phone we will have to manually update your watch

Funny you bring this up. I am having a similar problem. Although I'm not sure where you see that message "Failed to Install on Gear", cause I don't see that. BUT, I have the new WatchStyler installed fine on the phone, Have ran it once, everything in it looks fine and loads the program on phone, I go into Gear Manager --- Clocks, and there is no selection for WatchStyler. I created a thread in Troubleshooting about this. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
This happened to me before. I had gear rooted and got this error. I used Odin to flash the update, then rooted again. Therefore if you're gear is rooted, you won't be updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Tried and it fails. Says the first file is corrupt.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
I forget to mention that you have to rename test.img to rootfs.img and convert it to be Odin flashable.

EDIT : It works well :)

Once the patch is applied and test.img rename to rootfs.img, you had to convert it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42393470

Use TAR_MD5_Packager to do it. After that, flash it. It's slow, it took 9 minutes 37 seconds to have the job done.

I don't know why it's so slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] likearaptor:
So what exactly does this update do? Is this just a filesystem image to flash in ODIN to add Root functionality? Or is this also adding the ability to record longer than 15 seconds in the stock camera?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] T-Anthony78:
My Gear was rooted when I had Android and would only receive that message when trying for manual software updates. I would still receive the OTA updates from Samsung that installed successfully. The only result from that was that it would wipe my side loaded apps (unless I put those in the system apps folder which made the watch think they were supposed to be there).

I don't see this scenario being any different with a rooted Tizen version. OTA updates will still come from Samsung, as well as the option of flashing any update prior to receiving it OTA.

Anyone find out where the bootscreen and power on file are? For the life of me I haven't been able to find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] crutzulee:
[MENTION=1641703]saleand[/MENTION], are you still working on this or is the current version with the renaming of video workaround as good as it gets?

The reason I ask is that I am reticent to go through the rooting process on Tizen as I had a somewhat scary transition from android (my Odin attempts kept failing and my gear would not come out of download mode).

I am definitely in the "loving Tizen" camp. While I enjoyed Android and Null Rom, Tizen performs every single task that I need better and more intuitavely...with the exception of the camera video recording.

On Null I had it setup in a fashion that allowed 1 minute videos that automagically showed up on my phones gallery a few seconds after they were shot. Do you see your app eventually getting to that stage or would that require a modification of the stock app?

Would it be possible for you to package your app and submit it to the Samsung app store where people could download it without rooting? I would easily pay $10 for such an app....and I'm sure many others would too...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I found it, its call boot-animation but dont know where its located as I've gone back to Android.

AndyCAM

For now I have finished developing. My AndyCAM works perfectly and the current version records video at 90 seconds. The real problem are the limits to growth imposed by Samsung Tizen SDK. You can not set the video resolution but only the 3gp format. When Samsung will update sdk will be able to continue. For now I am back to Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I'm wondering if you can remove the recording limit in Android? If so how?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] saleand:
AndyCam

with Android

You can install null rom with 60 seconds

Or with the original rom using adb

for example, using a free app that you can find in the play store

Camera ICS by Moblynx

1) Download APK

2) Download adb & samsung drivers

3) Open prompt in adb tree

4)push this package file to the device and install ()

adb Devices (to find device Remember to activate the debug mode - press several times build version and enables the flag)

adb install package_name.apk

5)enjoy

For Tizen hopefully samsung sdk update the 320x320 limit is really ridiculous
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I know all about that, I was asking if there was a way to remove the time limit from the Gear camera not sideload another camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] saleand:
:)

I do not know how to help you

you can try to take the app inside ROM null and replace it with the original, but you still have to have root

When I edited it I had 10000 seconds recording time but I already downgraded back to Android so I couldn't test it out but the emulator worked.

Next time i'm on Tizen I'll give it another go and see if it is able to get 10000 seconds again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Whatever version I grabbed has the 10000 seconds! I can record a full length movie, lol :good:

Is there a root method for NF1 firmware?

Sent from my toaster
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
To some people its not the resolution that matters its the time limit. I would prefer to record at a lower resolution if I can record for a longer time.

But it wont be hard to change that. I'll look into it next time I got some free time.

Thanks!

given the release date, and the fact that both the SGG and the newer SG run Tizen does this work with the newer watch?

(do they both run the same OS?)

So far the Samsung watches are the only mainstream versions that have good camera an mic integration, so I'd love to see it's custom mods take off here . . .

(Or am I in the wrong thread for this?)

Anyone try this?

Can you update the .IMG.TAR to the new firmware file? (V700XXUCNF1)

i don't have ubuntu for test to patch the .TAR but if you whant i can extract the original file
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I just did it, haven't installed it but this time it all worked. I hopefully now have a rooted Tizen firmware. Will try it out next time I go to Tizen which might be this week.

I'm pretty happy with Android as its been on for 14+ hours today and its still at 75% so for some reason its as good as Tizen now but its actually better as I got mostly Android apps installed on it which you cant get on Tizen. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ReDroiD™:
When i use this patch on new rootfs firmware i have an error

On old zone it's work good

Have You an idea ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
It didn't work with the newer firmware. It was just a patch to convert the first rom (NE9) to root. It was done by hexadecimal comparison.

I've asked how the root was achieved, but it seems that everybody didn't care about it. :D

People just love to click and don't try to understand what they do.

You can know how to root the newer firmware by decompressing the original NE9 and Jijonhyuni's ROM to find what to do.:fingers-crossed:

We must be on a developers forum AFAIK, so it shouldn't be too hard...

Sorry if i'm a bit rude, but I got some answers when I asked that really irritated me and, in my opinion, are not at a developer's level.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ReDroiD™:
OK... But i not just like click and don't understand how it work or what the mod do.... But i have ask for some help or explain for this and i have not found answer.... But i test to found the good way and your post interesting me.

I have test to decompil the original and root ne9 for look and kdiff for check what file change and after look in hexadécimal with X&D but i get error on décompilation on a lot of part of the ramdisk

Peraps someone explain how to for people whant find solution and test to liberate gear 1 for mod...

Et si tu veux bien m'aider a comprendre je suis tout ouïe et j'aimerai bien pouvoir avancer afin de tenter de modifier la détection Samsung apps par édition de fichiers que je ne connais pas encore et que le root m'empêche de lire ou modifier a des fins de tentative d'accès a un market d'application un peux plus fourni
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
The answer is here.

Just extract all the files from the newer tar file, open the rootfs.img with Diskinternal Linux Reader, modify it according to the image.

Remove the passwd folder, add the system folder and busybox, su, passwd, vconf-init and rc.local.service.

I guess you can take the same files that are in the rooted NE9 ROM and drop them in the NF1 rootfs.

Then use TAR_MD5 packager to rebuild a tar file and flash it.

You should have a NF1 rooted Tizen.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ReDroiD™:
Thanks for quick reply

OK i test to look at this

But i look on system and other for look and understand what change for future

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Thanks for that. I've now packed it all together and have a rooted install firmware. Not wanting to update to Tizen yet but its there when I do. :)

Has anyone else noticed the size differences with NE9 and NF1? There is 200mb difference for the newer firmware.

NE9 632MB

NF1 446MB

I'm guessing you cant upgrade from Android to Tizen NF1 as its missing most of the Tizen filesystem.

These files are missing from NF1

csa.img

Ls02-EUR-OPEN-4G-TIZEN.pit

param.bin

system-data.img

user.img
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] crutzulee:
+1000 on this for me too.. The announcements of the android wear watches have made me realize that I will be keeping my tizened gear for some time to come... If we could restore 720p video for at least a minute then I may buy a second gear as a backup..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] toyosup88:
Dumb question....So I flash nf1 with Odin then flash this over top of it with Odin afterward? Just making sure so I don't screw anything up lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Rican Bx Bomba:
Another dumb question... is the shutter sound modded on here?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I guess no as you have to do that yourself
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tomatolita:
Not sure if it was just me being a n00b or whsomething else(never had a problem doing anything else on the Gear), but tried the above mentioned NF1 rooted img and had to reflash a fresh NF1 firmware as it got stuck at the upgrade screen and hard restart with the power key brought me to the firmware upgrade encountered an error screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Can anyone else confirm if the posted nf1 rooted img works on NF1 or not? I'm holding back on updating to NF1 until this is actually confirmed working.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
It works but I put it into the firmware file not flashed it separately.

There were some links to the tools posted perviously and they worked to make a modded firmware which works.

All I did was extract the whole firmware, swap the file then rebuild it and flashed it and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
I'm not sure I follow? Normally I would flash the NF1 upgrade in Odin AP slot. then after rebooting the gear, I would go back and flash the posted earlier in this thread - updated NF1 root img via AP slot?

Is this not correct now?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
If that way works then keep doing it that way. I never did it that way, I put it into the firmware and did it that way and it worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tomatolita:
I can confirm no go flashing just the rooted img tried again. The old tizen root image worked fine just flashing it after and there was no need to recompile the full firmware. Seems odd this one doesn't work the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
On that note, I think I will hold off upgrading to NF1. I want root and don't understand the putting it into firmware method. :p

I'm used to just following the OP type directions and flashing via Odin which seems to be reporting as a failure at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
NF1 rooted firmware

Not sure if I can do this but I just did. Maybe someone else can move it to a better spot but here it is.

Firmware NF1 rooted.

https://www.mediafire.com/?xliv2pck1st5b3s

Its the Australian version but as they are just about all the same it shouldn't matter.

I installed it last week. I went from Android to NE9 then installed this one and it worked and its rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
So to go from NE9 rooted to NF1 rooted, just flash this in ODIN - AP slot, correct?

Don't need to do the full upgrade file to NF1 first from sammy's site?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Thats correct. This is the full NF1 firmware, If your on NE9 you flash NF1 as this is the exact same just rooted.

If your on Android you need to goto NE9 first as it needs to set up Tizen first.

BTW, its ZIP'ed so unzip it first. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tomatolita:
Will give this a shot tonight when I get in from the office. Thanks everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Worked perfectly. Unzip and flash in Odin AP slot, as long as you are on NE9 already as noted.

Now I'm rooted on NF1! :laugh:

re-installed AndyCamera so root is confirmed!

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Thats great to hear. :)

I dont think you need root to install anything? I installed a few things before root came out.

You need root to edit and delete things like ringtones

Hey NakedFaerie,

When i flash a rooted stock fw and than flash a 100% fresh stock fw without root, are kies is able to identifie my gear again for updates?

OTA's works than again too?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Yep thats correct.

Whenever you flash a stock firmware it will detect that and update OTA again.

When its rooted it says its modified and wont OTA update so just flash stock and update. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] psycho-sonic:
You are 100% sure?

No need for me having trouble with kies or ota updates when i switch to tizen again in future^^

Another question: Have the linked rooted NF1 german language?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
The full rooted NF1 that I posted is my local one which is Australia so I dont know if it will have German language or not. I think they are all the same? Try it and if its not then just flash your local NF1.

[MENTION=241390]NakedFaerie[/MENTION] - I got a custom boot animation working properly! This zip contains a poweron.edj file, which is for use on an emulator only, I have not tried sideloading it onto my Gear 2 watch yet. It should replace /usr/share/edje/poweron.edj This can be accomplished using the sdb tool from the command line (pushing the file from Connection Manager in the IDE was not working for me). Once this is replaced, restart the emulator and you will see my custom boot animation.

If anyone needs help creating their own custom boot animation, I will be writing a tutorial on it by this coming Monday. In the meantime, does anyone have any pointers for me in trying to:

1. Cause a widget app to load automatically when the watch boots up

2. Remove all other apps from the watch so that the user cannot access anything but the widget app that loaded on startup?

As you can imagine, I am trying to create a watch in "kiosk mode", that only has one app. It is meant to be used on a tour of a physical location, like a museum.

Tutorial coming soon...thanks [MENTION=4044573]fogame[/MENTION] for pointing me in the right direction initially. The poweron.edj zip is attached.

Best,

Jeff

I was having this issue as well but it seems to have stopped randomly after a little. What I did was touch a magnet to the bottom on back and hopefully set it back in place. Hasn't stopped in over 24 hours. Another thing I'd recommend is if you're bootloader unlocked and you're turning you're voltage down to stop cause that could be the cause of it since the motor isn't getting enough voltage

Hi XDA,

I just bought my Xperia Z2 yesterday and i went to the batch numbers topic and checked for Issues reported by people there. Fortunatelly i dinot have any issues but today i noticed the front camera quality was very poor. There is a Yellowish reddish tint that appears on the front camera however the back cover is fine. The picture is like thousand of small dots flicker on the screen and if i keep it very close to my face then i can notice it. If I click the Picture the picture seems to be completely fine.

Can any one of you please check and let me know if you are also facing this kind of Issue?
[Xperia Z2 General] kabauterman:
Same here if I use it in low light.
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
I took it to the service center and they said it a problem. He asked me to come tomorrow and they would update the firmware to a latest build and hopefully issue would be resolved otherwise they would replace it for me
[Xperia Z2 General] shockerz1z:
ok so i got the same issue but i dont know if it is firmware of the camera problem , but the pic taken out is completely fine
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
Yes the finished picture is fine but while taking the picture it has a lot of noise. I have checked it with service center guys and they have called me tomorrow to update my firmware to see if issue is resolved otherwise they would replace the phone.However, talking to few people here in XDA it seems that noise issue is there with Sony camera and if the finished picture is fine it is not much of an Issue. So, I am thinking to get the software updated to latest build and then dont take replacement and keep using it.

What is the batch number of your phone ? Mine is 14w19
[Xperia Z2 General] manu44:
I would request others to please check the same and report here. I want to make sure its not only on some pieces and is their in each phone

[Xperia Z2 General] bryanhayn:
If the saved picture comes out fine, how is this even an issue? :eek:

If you grab Front Camera Video it is also an issue because it uses the same Live-View as what you see on the screen.
