Any update for this awesome kernel?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] esgie:
Not really, as the kernel has been created by repacking the genuine one only (and not by compiling it from scratch). That means that the possibilities of implementing further custom improvements are really narrow. Also, take note that rodpp compiled the kernel with "setenforce" working out of the box.

Adding some "real" custom features won't be possible without compiling the kernel from source, and we (p905 users) still wait for some brave dev who will manage to do it ;)

Thanks I've been fighting with this all day. Even did a factory reset. Editing build.prop worked for me. Just a note I think that you will need the paid version of root explorer to edit the file.

Hi, I am interested in the taskbar layout seen in the screenshot below.

Does anyone know what program it is ?

Looks like it might be usefull & I would like to try it but first I need the name so I can find out more.

Many thanks.

It's some of my voodoo, PhoneAlarm running a custom skin coupled with my VJToggleToday (I or II, depending on your OS) to map it as a replacement start bar.

All the gubbins are available here:

That particular screenshot is shown running my VJTodayButton, used for quick toggle access to the Today screen.

vijay555, doesn't your phone crawl to a halt with all those things on your today screen? (like ages waking from standby, switching to today screen etc)

[General Topics] vijay555:
Mudstuffin: in the screenshow, I'm running PhoneAlarm with my skin, at the top (using VJToggleToday to remove the softkeys and the start bar at the top), then AlarmToday with some custom hacks, weather plugin, can't remember which, VJTodaySpacer, and finally VJEphemeris.

So it's not many today plugins, just 4 (not including VJTodaySpacer).

VJEphemeris has a lot of functionality, but it's highly optimised so it doesn't use the resources of say 5 different today plugins - it replaces my quotes plugin, claunch, a battery meter, VJAudioNotes = a plugin I wrote to show my current operator and telephone number (because I use a dual sim), incoming SMS, missed calls, and a huge stonking analog clock/alarm indicator/calendar shortcut. The layour is optimised for right handed thumb usage.

All in, it works extremely well. I suggest you set up your system efficiently first, make a backup, and then try the various today plugins you want. Don't go for bells and whistles, stick with efficient and effective. This setup works very well for me; I like the idea of Wisbar etc, but find that I can do most of what I need one handed with this setup. That's paramount for me.

I've never had problems of the system slowing down or running out of resources, although I use VJOkButt to close running apps, so the only thing ever running is one app, the Phone, and Today.

[General Topics] dwd:
vijay, that quotes today plugin, what is it called?. it looks nice.. can i download it somewhere?
[General Topics] vijay555:
The quotes plugin is part of VJEphemeris, but it's based on code for VJQOTD, which is based on QOTD.

QOTD is open source, google for it, VJQOTD is unreleased although I make it available if asked, and VJEphemeris is unreleased. The VJEphemeris version is much improved/re-written, self resizing according to quote size etc and quote navigation etc.

You can see VJQOTD at the bottom of this (old) screenshot:

reboot watch

Keep in mind free diskspace is 80MB for /opt/ don't fill it up!
[Samsung Gear 2] TML1504:
thx!

are the terminal commands needed after the flash?

would this also be ok for the new E5 release?
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
No, commands are not needed. It's just to show the version and howto check if it worked.

This will not work if E5 is installed since you will flash the whole root filesystem.
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
I can build for E5 if needed. Did not upgrade my watch yet..
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
I appreciate your good work on this. Unfortunately I'm in the US and still stuck on ND8. As a suggestion, since you're going to build this for new ROMs as they come out, could you start adding the last three letters/numbers of the ROM to your tar files?
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
Thx, already included version build for the E5 .tar uploading right now. The sad part is that the only "useful" way to use the root access right now is to get rid of the camera sounds :D

But if you need root access to your ND8 I can upload.
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
If you have easy access to ND8, that would be great. Otherwise I can wait for the newer builds to hit. I'll be upgrading as soon as I can anyway.

This is to make a change in ringtone sound?
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
Is possible.

push your ringtones to: /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/

When in .ogg only filename will be displayed. When in .mp3 it will show up like ring.mp3

I think a reboot is needed to find your new ringtones in the list.

But keep in mind free diskspace is 80MB for /opt/ don't fill it up!

[Samsung Gear 2] Compusmurf:
Ok, im a noob at watch rooting. Is there a special version of odin for the watch or a special way to do this? Does it wipe everything? All I wish to do is wipe the camera sounds.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Safe to assume this won't work with the Neo? If it does awesome work. If not still awesome work lol.
[Samsung Gear 2] TML1504:
no special odin needed! i used 3.07

to enter download mode: press and hold the watch-button, when the watch reboots quickly press the button a few times, select download, then flash.

it does no wipe.

important: first flash the official rom, then the according rootfs from the first post.

enable usb debugging in watch settings

afterwards you need the sdb.exe, open a command prompt where the exe is located and enter the following commands:

sdb root on

sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /

sdb shell mv /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder/ /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder_bak/

sdb shell mv /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds_bak

[Samsung Gear 2] rootmygear2:
Thinking this might be a hard one but could you make it so notifications/ringtones/touches make the sound AND vibrate?

EDIT: Another question, there are files I can't pull because they have no file extension. I'm guessing this is because windows cant recognize them. Would pulling these files with a linux distro solve this?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Making the notifications make sound and vibrate would require a profile change. Right now it is set for sound, vibrate, mute. You would have to create a new profile. Could be done by would take some work. It's not native to the watch.

As far as no extensions......those would be folders? Can you give an example of what you can't pull?

[Samsung Gear 2] drizzle3000:
It is in ogg format but mines looks like this c:dre2/user/downloads/ sdb push c:dre2/user/downloads/cuffinseason.ogg /opt/share/settings/ringtones/. Is there a way to change my directory path.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
In theory your code should work.

Below is what I would have used.

sdb push dre2/user/downloads/cuffinseason.ogg /opt/share/settings/ringtones/

Just remove the c: you could also locate to where your sdk/sdb is installed and push it from there. Thats what I do. I just move the file to the sdk. Makes it much easier.
[Samsung Gear 2] jaytee84:

Now that the gear 2 is rooted, I am searching the firmware to see if and where it was disabled, to re-enable it.

Since I am new to Tizen, its taking a while. Any advice or pointing to resources would be helpful so I can get this out for people. Ideally I would like to work on pairing the gear 2 with non-android devices (ie Iphone, Computer, other phones).

Thanks, first of all, to fibs for the root!

I'm having a problem, in that my watch doesn't show up in Windows explorer. I've tried installing and reinstalling the Samsung USB drivers, with and without kies 3. Having read through the thread, I made sure to turn usb debugging on (and, just because everything else I'd tried had failed, I tried with usb debugging off). I tried downloading the usb drivers from a uk source (in case it made a difference), but no matter what I do, my watch shows up neither on my desktop (Windows 7) nor my laptop (Windows 8). I'm at a loss, and I'm hoping someone here can help me. :crying:

To that end, here's more info:

I've had the watch since launch; I live in the US; I went so far as to install the wearable sdk, but it made no difference; I've tried on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 (I'll probably try my wife's computers after posting this, now that I think about it).

I have everything else downloaded and ready to go. It's this first step that's killing me. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm extremely grateful.

Thanks for any response!

Huh that's odd.

Just some questions:

Let Tizen drivers load?

USB debugging? (was off you said)

Removed USB controllers in device manager, then rebooted computer?

Updated network adapters in device manager?

Different USB port?

It's odd you aren't getting it to connect. I'm running the full sdk and I've had no problems
