TWRP recovery

Hi. I terribly want to flash your custom rom but couldn't because of issue below:

I'm trying to flash TWRP carefully following loki's guide but the recovery doesn't seem to get flashed even if the MTK Droid Tool v2.5.2 can see my device and all. I tried flashing TWRP versions 2.7.0.0 and 2.7.0.1 but couldn't get to the recovery screen once device autoreboots..it just pauses on the "Truesmart" logo for around a minute and then boots normally.

Is there something i'm missing in the flashing steps? This is not my first time to do flashing; but for a smartwatch--yes.

Here is my omate info if it helps:

Hardware : MT6572

Model : TrueSmart

Build number : ALPS.JB3.MP.V1.8

Build date UTC : 20140513-024041

send me ur stock kernel. i will try help u repack the twrp recovery image.

[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I already have a backup but not quite sure which one is the kernel file. :eek:
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Or he could just download the TWRP I already built.

No sense in doing extra work when the build is already out.

Very Very Very Good rom ( v01-05 ) everything work fine on my Callisto 100. Just a lag when open setting. There is a way to have stock setting menù. Thanks

Bluetooth Internet Access

Thank you monx and kuronosan! (already clicked the thanks button)

I'm now on monx rom and its working great. The volume control on the notification area and the pie menu is very handy.

Below are some of my questions for this rom (still exploring as I type this):

1. Is there a way to relocate the position of the pie menu or hide it?

2. Is there a way to add brightness slider on the notification too?

3. Bluetooth Internet Access disconnects after trying to connect to my Note 3 (Tried while note3 is connected to wifi or data).

I'm trying to use Bluetooth only (and disable wifi) to save battery and at the same time use the data plan on my device.

4. Can you provide a toggle to BLACK&WHITE display mode (like some ROMs)? This can make the watch discreet and not attract too much attention and also "could" save battery even further (some people claim it does).

5. Can you recommend a good app that can turn the display on by shake BUT not drain the battery too much?

6. Is SWApp the only best option to send device notifications to watch?

Thank you. This is a very nice and well-polished ROM indeed. :good:
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
Im aware bout it & just fixed in v1.06.

stock setting menu is obsolete. the main goal is to get full featured settings.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[1] To disable it, refer FAQ. to relocate, simply hold > drag & drop.

[2] The idea is there, but no time for porting codes for that yet.

[3] BT Tethering tested working fine on server (Xperia Z2) on data or wifi. client (TS) must turn off wifi

[4] Is going to be a BIG project which i wont capable to do it alone & is near to impossible for a short limited spare time. u can try Chainfire's CF lumen app to play with tint.

[5] The only app i tried was WatchON & never tried anything else & shaking my arm quite discomforting so i uninstalled it :p will share if i found interesting app soon

[6] I dont try it yet but seems thats the most popular & most discussed rite now. (im not sure tho, will try later :) )

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
You don't save battery with an IPS screen.
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Thanks for the answers.

For Bluetooth tethering, the TS is paired but when enabling the 'BT Internet Access', the TS says: "Disconnected group Ad-hoc network with Note3 !"

Wifi is already disabled, data is ON, no other devices are paired. I tried other scenarios too.

Can't seem to make it work. Help.. :confused:

weird. u hv other phone to test other than note3?

Did u enabled BT tethering option in note3 tethering setting?

smth like this:

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
I tried on S3 (GT-I9300) and Note 2 (GT-N7100) and got the same error for tethering only.

All devices paired successfully though.

Note 2&3 ROM are touchwiz-based (close to stock)

S3 ROM is AOSP
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[MENTION=661120]jembot[/MENTION]

Pls check sshot in my prev reply. Did the option checked/turned on?

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Oh.. there's a separate setting for Bluetooth tethering under the 'Tethering and portable hotspot' setting category..

I enabled the Bluetooth tethering there too and was finally able to connect to my Note 3. :)

However...I still don't have internet. Note 3 is already sharing it's internet connection under the 'Paired Bluetooth device' setting.

I'll try to restart TS.
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[MENTION=661120]jembot[/MENTION]

good. server must turn on data/wifi. client (TS) must turn off data & wifi.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Yes. TS has just BT enabled.

I reverted the Smart Mode setting back to NORMAL mode and disabled COMPANION mode.

Tried enabling Wifi or Data on Note 3. Still no internet on TS although its tethered. :eek:
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[MENTION=661120]jembot[/MENTION]

did u flash anything after flashing the rom package? especially kernel?

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
No, did not flash anything. I'll try to disable XPosed framework then report back to you.

That's the only thing I installed after flashing your rom.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Disabled XPosed framework in TS. Nothing new installed. Still no internet.

What could be causing this? :confused:
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
weird. mine just working fine.

maybe u can try reflash the rom again.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Do you have data enabled on your TS. I see an "H" above the signal bars icon.
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
no. data is turned off on TS. the traffic icon will be like that if tethered properly.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
I reflashed your rom again (wipe data & cache) to make sure everything is in default. BT tethering still has no internet. I dont see the connectivity icon above the signal bars (like yours).

:(
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
did u turn on data or wifi on note3? there is only one way left to troubleshoot by sending ur boot.img to me. use dd command to extract it. if u not sure how, PM me.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Yes. I have enabled either wifi or data on Note 3 while TS is tethered.

Attached is the boot.img file. This was from a backup prior to flashing your rom. Is this the correct file?
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[MENTION=661120]jembot[/MENTION]

I need the current boot img in ur running device now. not prior flashing bcos ur stock kernel shud be patched during flashing this rom.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Here is the current boot.img

Thanks!
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
@jembot

both ur posted boot.img are identical. means its not patched properly during rom flashing. no wonder no traffic on tethering.

i will send u a package to test later on.

EDIT : check ur PM
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
It worked! I got internet now purely via BT tether! The signal bar icon is not the same as yours but it works--I have red "x" on top of the signal bars.

I will try your ROM as a daily driver and report back any issues.

Great work! I hope you'd continue developing this rom.

THANK YOU! (button also clicked)
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
new version is ready.

@jembot

glad it works at last :highfive:

maybe u can post a screenshot about the red x.
[Ornate TrueSmart] superdragonpt:
Calling an security risk, overrated?

Ontopic:

That .apk is used by some MTK Vendors, to collect personal data (IMEI, location, etc) and then send that info to some FTP servers.

There are some variants of the APP, that where modified by some individuals ( the data is sent to another server, etc), and with additional permissions....

Regards
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Glad to see another mtk dev finally chime in.
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]

yes. overrated. no need talk like world gonna end. simply delete the smsreg.apk voilla. the core os itself is insecure. make sense? google analytics, bunch of overlooked permission in app frm play store itself,no risk?

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
Hi monx. Just a heads up. Flashed v1.06 and got the same "No internet on BT Tether" issue. I flashed the modified kernel you provided for 1.05 and it worked again.

Regarding the cosmetic issue, the "x" above the signal bar is the same icon shown when you dont have a SIM card inserted but have radio turned ON.

SWApp is hit and miss for me. It's ok when it works but most of the time it doesn't. Can you suggest an alternative companion app that's not feature-packed but reliable and light? I just need my Note 3 to forward messaging app notifications to the TS.

Thanks!
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[MENTION=661120]jembot[/MENTION]

ok thx for the hint. currently im not using my TS as companion as i had SmartWatch 2 previously & not so into it. im using my TS as standalone backup phone. will share if i found any.

regarding the x icon, does it comes up only when bt tethering is turned on?

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] jembot:
The "x" icon above the signal bars is always there when in NORMAL MODE (BT tethered or not). I did not insert any SIM card so I guess that's why yours is showing differently. I switched to [WATCH + COMPANION] Mode and it's now an airplane icon (Radio Off). The BT Internet Tether still works in this configuration (i switched it ON manually). :D

I saved lots of battery since wifi and radio is turned off. For 8+ hours (idle) the battery did not drop at all..or i just cant see it since the screen is so small. But its basically a straight horizontal line. As long as the TS battery survives the night with little to no battery drain, it's a huge step forward. :victory:
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Hmm.
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
new version available :victory:
[Ornate TrueSmart] kdenilson:
Greeting !

can Omate (after-May version) flash this rom ??

I saw on the forum that TWPR 2.70 or 2.71 will soft brick the Omate TS (after-May version) .

I really like the work you have done !! look like great ROM !
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
[MENTION=2249035]kdenilson[/MENTION]

tbh im not sure. as long ur device can run twrp recovery properly, then u r safe to flash this rom. im currently working on twrp installer for any batches of TS.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] kdenilson:
:crying::crying:

what Omate done on the after-May version TS ?????

anyway I long for your twrp installer !!!, keep the work !!
[Ornate TrueSmart] nickez2001:
Awesome work Monx!

Don't be bummed out by all the (two) negative, pessimistic people!

I'll probably flash this rom soon if my device is compatible with TWRP!
[Ornate TrueSmart] tshoulihane:
This thread is still here? and people are using it - wow. Add me as a down-vote :cool:
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Um. You can download mtk droid tool and install TWRP from there.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kdenilson:
my omate is shipped after May,

is its possible to use TWRP normally ??
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Yes, of course. I'm the retainer for TWRP on the watch.

It took a little modifying but if you check in the stock thread below there is a version for May watches.

You don't need a special installer or skill set. Use MTK droid tools to install, or if you're familiar with adb I can tell you how to install it that way too.
[Ornate TrueSmart] death_entry:
well I am giving this ROM a go.... it didn't blow my watch up, seemed pretty simple to flash once I figured out it was copying the zip file over and not extracting it first :p

I still however can't get sound to come out of my loud speaker, is this a setting somewhere? The mic works fine (tested it on Viber) and the sounds works fine over bluetooth earphones... it used to work perfectly well, but seems to have somehow been switched off / down since I flahed my previous ROM (not this one)..

I am liking the UI its got some neat features

The BT tethering seems to work very well...

shame GPS still doesnt work though....

How do i clearout all the space my backed up apps used from TWRP?
[Ornate TrueSmart] jdizzle98:
Just When I had given up on my true smart monx saves the day ... Thank you for your hard work..!!!! New version runs great. GPS is spot on.. Only issues I've noticed is settings takes a while to load.. And my camera takes a picture then shuts down the app and dosent save the pic.. I have to reset to default settings in the app then all is fine.. Until I restart The app then it happens all over again.. Not a deal breaker cause I barely use the camera anyways.. Just a heads up.. Thanks again..!!!!!!
[Ornate TrueSmart] monx®:
thanks for all inputs guys. will check & fix. speaker & gps working fine here. settings lag supposed already fixed in v01.07.

for camera saving issue, try change saving destination to internal storage in storage settings panel.

■ monxdified™
[Ornate TrueSmart] supergadgetman:
Great Rom. I'm running ver 01-07 and can confirm settings lag still exist. Running great otherwise.

If my phone is not rooted. What app do I run on the phone to tether the TS to the phone?

Hi, thanks for this rom. Installed it on my Simvalley AW420.RX. Run very good, only a lag if run settings first time.

Hi. im also interested in this ROM, at the moment im at stock and unrooted.

Is it possible to root with framaroot, and then follow the TWRP guide to install the recovery with MTK flash tool and make backups thats needed.

Your ROM should fit all batches and version right?

heres the info of mine just in case:

baseband MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V4, 2013/08/14 18:16

Kernel versioni 3.4.5

Omate v. 2.1

Custom build v. Omate_Truesmart_20140513.103530_V2.0

i think its the 4:th shipment and EU 1/8

im happy for all the help i can get, dont have the time to mess around with a bricked device =)

succesful installation

I have succesfully installed this rom.

Biggest problem was getting TWRP installed, after this everything was a piece of cake.

I used MTK droid to modify boot + recovery and finally install TWRP.

Rom is working extremely well; thanks to developer Monx; no glitches whatsoever.

Thanks again for terrific work.

Just to be sure: my version is 1/8/2100

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/214

if not , can you give me link for 2.7.1.0 you installed please ? :)
[Ornate TrueSmart] skochxxl:
I used the MTK Flash Tool (MTK Droid Tools => https: // www .copy .com /s /noLKVVg10VDw ).

First I made a backup with MTK Tool.

Than on second tab I selected the "choose boot.img" and used the boot.img from my just created backup folder. I clicked on recovery and boot. With this method I patched the recovery with the CMW recovery. Than booted into recovery and there was CWM recovery but not usable with only the two phone buttons. (A bit redundant but that was my way of patching)

Next I went to MTK Tools and selected "choose boot.img from phone" (because it was already patched) and than not to use CWM but use the twrp recovery from ( => https: // goo .im /devs /OpenRecovery /omatesmartwatch2 / ) here. After this step booting into recovery there was twrp :cool:

Next step was putting this custom rom to sd card and flashing it with twrp :D

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit_g:
I used this guide to install the CM11 on Nook Color EMMC. I used the following packages.

Everything seems to working fine except that Google Play Store is missing. None of the other Google Apps (e.g. Gmail, Plus) work as the Nook Color is not registered to Google echo system. I tried side loading Play Store and Google Play Services. With that I was able to register and have the Play Store work once. However it isn't working reliably after several reboots. It crashes most of the time. I have tried using M7 but ended up with same results. I also tried pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20140716-signed.zip but it complained about not enough space. I used smaller version of it but like earlier everything else except Play Store gets installed. I have tried flashing gapps multiple times as well.

How can I do a clean install of CM11 and have a working version of Play Store?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit_g:
After a few trial and errors, I was able to use M8 and gapps modular micro (pa-gapps) and everything is working fine. It seems that the standard gapps was the problem. As soon as I did a clean install of M8 and gapps micro, the reboot asked about Google account and everything worked. I tired a few combinations of wiping the cache, factory reset so I am not sure if that was it but in the last install I cleared everything before starting the ROM flash.

Ok guys I am a noob (also new to these forums) and I'm having a lot of trouble with my phone. The other day, I rooted my phone using towelroot and confirmed it using root checker. then, I downloaded ROM manager as advised by a friend. i followed the instructions and installed Clockworkmod Recovery onto my AT&T Galaxy S3. Feeling I was finally ready to install a ROM, i tried to download Cyanogenmod 10.3.1 only to have it be "downloading" for over 14 hours without it completing. From there, i did some research and decided to utilize the Cyanogenmod Installer. it seemed to work perfectly, even showing the cyanogenmod logo under when my devicec turned on, until it told me to reboot my device. i entered clockworkmod recovery mode to officially reboot it. when i selected "reboot system now" it said "Root access possibly lost. Fix?". i was given the options to say "No" and "Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su). no matter which one i try, my phone boots to the stock touchwiz OS. I have installed and reinstalled both superuser, superSU, and ROM manager to no success. What am i doing wrong?
