Biktor my man it is the least we can do.

Your effort and time are worth it.

My fundraising campaign I still up.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
One more thing, learn from my mistakes.

NEVER CUT A FLASH MID FLASH. SPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE 1% BATTERY. I spent last hour trying to get into download mode because the watch entered a bootloop and wouldn't stay up long enough to detect the power key was being held.

I solved it by letting it completely drain, and then, about 200ms (not joking) after connecting the watch to the dock WITHOUT the USB, holding the power button. That let the watch attempt to enter charge only mode from the bootloader but still not pass control to the kernel while the key was already being held, thus counting the power key timeout, and by the 1.5 seconds where the kernel stops due to a corrupt rootfs, it entered bootloader options mode.

This littke kid is going to be stubborn ;)
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
Do you gonna open a new thread? It's really exciting. :cool:
[Samsung Gear S] farewell_goodbye2u:
I will gladly donate a $20 to the cause. I had the Gear 2 and followed biktors Android Wear port the whole way and really brung my watch back from the dead. He is a genius with this stuff. I hoped that when I decided to bite the bullet and get me a Gear S, that hopefully he'd also get one and make yet another successful port of Android Wear on the Gear S. Well, to my surprise, here biktor is with plans to do just that! (Sorry to hear about you not able to get the bootloader on the at&t version unlocked btw). I actually have 2 Gear S'. Got a at&t version off ebay and ended up getting another from T-Mobile half price because one of their reps in store tried screwing me over. Worst experience ever! So I currently have my at&t one on ebay to recoupe the money I spent on it. As I stated though, I would gladly help get you a unlocked boot loader version like the T mobile if that means you getting Android Wear on this beautiful watch. I know you can do it because I've witnessed you do it and successfuly flashed each update as the project came along. :)
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
When I get something to show I will, I'll need to have control over the first post to keep instructions updated (just like the gear 2 thread)
[Samsung Gear S] chiikko561:
I am also ready to test anything if you need a tester... also thanks for the effort...
[Samsung Gear S] manolito1998:
Please, [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION], don't take it in the wrong way, but we are old enough to know where to spend our money. :D.

Anyone who wants to donate knows that you could get it or not, so we acept that risk.

Thanks a lot for your work.

PD. Sorry for my english (I hope not to seem rude)
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
Have to agree with above post, also can understand why you might be hesitant, believing you are beholden to the people who donated to produce the finished port....but I think we all understand there is no guarantees and all you could do is your best. I recently sold my gear S to lack of developer support but I loved the watch and would get another if a android port was possible. Just my 2 cents and of course the decision is yours.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
In stores between 350-400€ but I have a possible solution in progress, just hope it works out right!
[Samsung Gear S] hackerse7en:
the best solution so far, seems the farewell_goodbye2u idea, every one donates 20$ a simblic value and u buy a online one, but we are always opened to new ideas, ;)
[Samsung Gear S] farewell_goodbye2u:
I wouldn't even be donating "JUST for the sole purpose of you porting Android Wear (yet again) to another Samsung Smart watch for us Gear S folks. I personally feel you have at the very least, deserved to let us help buy you the Gear S even if it was just a watch you wanted and had no plans of doing anything to it but couldn't afford to get it. The dedicated work you did on the Gear 2 for the xda community after so many had given up hope on that watch and never expecting Android Wear to be functional yet, someone even make it happen was pretty commendable if you ask me. I got pretty bored with the lack of apps and/or development (though I blame nobody at all) of the Gear 2 and was searching other options when you (@Biktor_gs) comes along and made magic happen before our eyes. There we are with a Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch with Android Wear Lollipop on it successfuly with IR blaster capabilities and sound and microphone and camera which arguably made the Gear 2 the best smart watch to have on the market and still to this day. You are a great asset to the xda community. You are the cyanogenmod of Android expect for Samsung's Tizen. You have made a name for yourself in these parts of the woods my friend. Samsung should be calling you for an interview if you ask me. Lol. So yeah. I'll stop right there because now it's just getting weird and I feel like I was almost worshipping you there for a min and preaching the gospel of the great Biktor. Lol. But I've made my point. Regardless, you deserve to let us give back to you is all I'm saying. ;) Good luck though with what you have going on now. Hopefully some decent news for you at least. You really took one for the team and that costed you so when you're ready and willing, show me that paypal addy, and ill show you some $$ as thank you for being a awesome human. (Although im still not convinced you are human, you robot you!)

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Actually I may have an idea. Id need some help with suggestions on how I would do it from you guys though. So I gave a T-Mobile Gear S that's basically brand new. I don't even care about the dedicated phone line and data with it but im assuming it does have an unlocked bootloader which would benefit you right? Well....I also have a white AT&t model that's also brand new that I purchased from ebay two weeks ago before getting my Tmobile version. Id be willing to sell my tmobile version to you and just keep my att gear s somehow if that could work and maybe others willing to donate for it. I wouldn't ask much and that would help everyone out in the end right? Or is there something missing that would prevent me from being able to do that? Feel free to hit me up if you're interested.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Let's just say that my creative approach worked. Can't say how I did it, but I can say it involves a hair dryer, and it was free ;)

Now I'm ready to start. I will try first to repurpose the original tizen kernel but something tells me the xorg driver is going to give issues. If I see it too ugly I will try with the gear live kernel and I'll try to port the board code and the of trees to the new one... Will keep you updated!
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Dude you managed to unlock the boot loader? How the heck did you do that?

You are a genius. I am still wondering how blind Samsung is for not begging you to work for them.
[Samsung Gear S] yujikaido79:
Ive been thinking about buying a gear s for sometime but it running Tizen has made me think twice since I don't have a samsung phone to pair with it. Would this potential port be android wear or AOSP build? Id be more interested myself in an AOSP build so I could use all the features that the gear s has.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
I didn't, my approach was a little more... Ehnmm rough than that. Anyway, doesn't matter, now the watch is not water resistant, but the problem is out of the way, which is the important thing ;)

By the way, and just so you know. This watch IS NOT waterproof. The watch disassembles by the screen, and the lcd is attached to the main assy with adhesive tape. Repeated exposure to water will end up opening cracks in that tape and let water enter the mainboard.

Edit: my android port choice is cyanogenmod 12.1. If I get it to work I will publish the device and vendor folders so you can build whatever you want with it!
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
You are the man!
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
It's pretty tight in there, but as far as I could see, all the antennas are just under the lcd, attached to a plastic frame on top of the motherboard. I didn't fully disassemble it. But, you can get an idea with an amazing(r) ascii graph made with a phone;)

______---------______ LCD

__________________ Antennas

[_________________]Plastic frame with battery

---------------------------- main board

// // \\\\ connectors to charger&speaker

The speaker and charger contacts stay on the case, while the rest comes out relatively easy. One has to be extra careful with the flex wire from the lcd if you would ever need to open it, which is quite fragile, and goes through the right side if the watch, and connects to the back side of the main board:

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
This is just step 1 ;)

I got a kernel with all android kernel drivers and adb, and put toghether a minimal recovery image. Recovery does not start (it gives segmentation fault while trying to set the backlight level in TWRP), but it at least boots and usb is accessible, so debugging is available, so it's a nice start!

Oh, by the way, indeed the cpu is a quadcore, and the kernel boots all 4 cores in recovery, so now we know we can use our hardwaare!
[Samsung Gear S] yujikaido79:
Sweet progress, if one were to buy a gear s what version would be best. USA one or international model? I am on ATT network here in the states for the moment but plan to return to Asia this year or next.

[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:

[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
I could make a tizen kernel just to flash it with Odin. If it says "Failed (auth)" it is locked, if it flashes correctly, then it is unlocked.

If you enter Odin mode and it says RM-750A, it's probably locked...
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] I wonder if RM-750B variant will be able to use your port..

A noob question, but since you will be porting Android, is there any way to synchronize it with our phones and get notifications and other features like wear?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
The bootloader says it's a 750 or 750B?

I just got a new SSD for my computer, when it's done copying everything I will make a kernel for you all to flash with Odin so we can make a list of working variants. I think everything except verizon & att devices will work but we need to be sure

About the notifications... I'm thinking about that a lot. If we put Wear into this beast the functionality loss is enormous. On the other way, Android doesn't have anhthing like iOS handoff feature, which would be the best of both worlds... Anyone know if android m will have that kind of feature?
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
If you remove watchfaces, updates, etc. It's something like this:

Android app on the phone has access to all notifications from notification bar.

On the watch there's another app running as a service. When something generates a notification, the app on the phone reads it and sends it over bluetooth to the app on the watch.

That's essentially how Wear works too. That part wouldn't be superhard to code. Being able to reply to those notifications, supporting client side a2dp etc would be much harder...

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Should be like a breaking news. P6 is the first device to get update to international version of Emui3.0 ( minus the new devices likes Mate 7 or G7).

Happy that p6 users have it quite early than expected, and i have been blown away for past two months using it on my honor 6 (with 1080p display it gets more gorgeous). I feel it needs more attention among international users as the work Huawei has done here is so underrated and unknown of the great many unique design and feature implementations as well as lots and lots of subtle aspects you will come to notice with time.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] matteo.badoni:
Updated From B512 International

This update works quite well, but there are many apps and strings in Chinese.

A problem encountered, does not set the default launcher other than stock

It should be reset after the update?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
No, just go to settings>Manage apps>and at the bottom there is a "default app settings" option.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] matteo.badoni:
is already set to nova, but also back on the huawei.

edit:

I rebooted and installed Android apus launcher.

Apus can be set as the default, but if I go in the settings is even nova.

Very likely to be a bug to fix

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cattuspecial:
I have already tried the B706 ... the only problem was the data connection with that ... does anyone know if this rom the problem is solved?:(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] matteo.badoni:
No problem found with data connection.

The only big problem is that you can not create a Huawei id, at least in Italy :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ThunderBird891:
In Bulgaria too! No Huawei ID in this region... I propose you to wait for the international EMUI 3.0 release, because this one has too many features, that stays in Chinese even when you choose English or other language. For example - automatic country recognition for incoming phone calls for known and unknown numbers. It recognizes the country, but displays the name of the country in Chinese. Another one is automatic location recognition in weather widget and application, which when locates you, shows the name of the location in Chinese, no mater what language you're using. I think that's because you cannot choose which server to use for weather information and the default server for this chinese ROM is weather.co.cn ... but you decide. There are many chinese applications as well !!!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kolembo:
So.

This is NOT official international?

Is like to know... I've been looking around and Ie no mention of it except here.

Is wonderful to have people working on this - if just rather not go anywhere near the B706
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] matteo.badoni:
I do not think that international official, but a beta based on chinese b706 rom.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

How can I go back to the B512 official?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ThunderBird891:
That's right! There is NO international official B706 yet. And also I think, that the international release will be with different number, not the same as Chinese B706!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
I don't think this is an european update since the build number goes C17B706, since all chinese firmwares are C17 and its the same B706 as the chinese one.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
You need to have root, and change local.prop file to from zh & CN to en & EN.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

If its not official how come it can be installed using local update ?

Maybe this is initial beta leaked version from Huawei international division and they are still working on bringing out a pure international version.
