ayuda con gear 2

necesito ayuda con los controladores para que el pc me reconosca el samsung gear 2 ya que no me conecta con el dispocitivo por que el reloj esta desactualizado. ...ayuda...
[Samsung Gear 2] wardrich:
This project looks very relevant to my needs - I have a Gear 2, but my S5 is rooted and frankensteined. The only way I'm going to get this watch to work is by flashing it with Android wear... but this is also my first forray into smart watches. I have a few questions if somebody would mind helping me out here:

1. Are there any prerequisites as far as far as the firmware/software on the watch? If so, how can I check which version is on mine?

2. Can I just jump right to the Android 6 files? Or should I start with one of the earlier releases and then update?
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
I do not think it matters which version of Tizen your watch is running.

Read the OP several times.

Read this thread and the Q&A thread, before flashing anything.

Download all necessary files and then read the OP again. In the OP there are instructions that are posted after some that should be accomplished before. In other words, all directions in the OP are not in the order that they should be accomplished.

Watch the video in the OP a few times.

I chose v6 Beta #3 Zenwatch, as it had the best reviews and seemed the most stable, at the time.

That is the only version I have used and it has served me well, for a couple years.
[Samsung Gear 2] wardrich:
Thank you for the reply. I'm still somewhat on the fence as I may be grabbing an S8 when the S9 is released... so I may not need to flash it overall. I got the watch handed down to me the other day, so I'm not even sure what the Tizen software on it is like. I'll keep this all handy for my decision when the time comes.
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
In that case, you should definitely wait and use the watch, as it is, before deciding to change things.

The Tizen software is not bad. I did like the ability to receive phone calls directly on the watch.

The only reason I flashed AW on my Gear 2 Neo was that I moved away from Samsung phones.
[Samsung Gear 2] wardrich:
Thanks! I may end up flashing it down the road when/if I gut the S8 to keep it up-to-date with a custom ROM as I've had to do with all my past devices. I really wish manufacturers would find a way to allow their old devices to keep up-to-date with the software side of things.
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
I would think that whatever version of Tizen is currently on your watch should be newer or the same as AW 1.5x that is available in this thread.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
I found a file outside of this thread, "GNeo_AndroidWear_2016_0708.tar" does anybody know what the difference is (besides the file size? Gear2_Wear6_Rel6.zip = 273,443 KB, GNeo_AndroidWear_2016_0708.tar = 553,080 KB)
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
That's the file that was posted on You Tube after development stopped. That's the latest and the version that I use. You can look for some of my earlier posts in this thread.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Ok, so which one should I use? I'm sorry, I can't tell from your reply. Any idea how to stop the phone call detection? Only bad thing I found and would like to stop, I don't need to know/answer/dismiss any phone call when I can't use the watch as a bluetooth wristset (headset)... If we can remove that functionality the watch will never reboot and all will work perfect. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Use the most recent You Tube version. Search my prior posts in this thread if you need a link.

Not sure I understand the issue about phone call detection. But take a look at options tab after you set up your watch.

Hi

Really appreciate the effort put in to this, thanks.

I managed to flash my gear 2 lite, it looks happy enough, & I can pair my phone just on bluetooth, but the android gear app doesn't detect the watch at all .. anyone already have that problem? This is with "Wear_511_LCA43__09_24_2015" on the watch & the latest android gear on the phone (huawei mate 10 pro)

Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for the reply - sorry I realise I made a mistake in my initial post - I said android gear in fact I do already have android wear on my phone... my phone will pair just on bluetooth with the watch (at which point the watch is happy & carries on configuring), but android wear on the phone never sees my watch, it doesn't show up in the list of devices...

Thanks
[Samsung Gear 2] gingerdude:
Maybe try a much older version of the wear app? I had used this port back in the day without issue.
[Samsung Gear 2] redletter:
Hey that did the trick yes .. must say I'd wondered about that but not tried it :)

Went back to v 1.5.0.2951640.gms & it works great so far!

Thanks all

recovery_fota_cache.tar has once again vanished from MediaFire, and Iii'm currently stuck with a dead Gear 2 trying to get back to Tizen since recent Google app updates seem to have broken compatibility with Wear. Anybody happen to have that on hand?

Hello everyone

I recently installed on my 2 neo gear, this android 6 file

March 4, 2016: https://mega.nz/#!QQwXQKCD!U-y82wTu etc etc ...

after flashing and running factory reset, at the new start, tells me to connect the cable to an electrical source and then to associate the watch to the phone via android wear but I can not find the watch in the app, but only in the Bluetooth menu of my phone , start the app update, after a few minutes check sync and remains so forever, via mobile I can not find the clock and even via android wear app

What can I do to solve? thank you, please
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Try using an older version of Android Wear. This has been discussed on this thread extensively.[emoji39]
[Samsung Gear 2] bmw320cd:
thanks but I tried several times, with the old versions of android wear app gives me the message that I have to update it obligatorily to access and synchronize the clock

but the problem over that and that, it is always in sync and is stuck in that state until I go into recovery and run factory reset
[Samsung Gear 2] Jaitsu:
Sorry to repeat myself, but hey [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION], do you still have that recovery_fota_cache.tar? Didn't wanna drag you back to a dead project, buuut I'm kinda up a creek without that paddle. I wanna get back to Tizen (and maybe sell the watch); Android Wear 1.x has gone defunct (Google apps don't sync to it anymore, or work if I force them to) and I can't figure out how else to get it to boot back into Tizen without that file. All I get is black screens, even after flashing everything else, or even just flashing TWRP alone to it and using the earlier mke2fs commands to fix the data partition in case that was the issue.
[Samsung Gear 2] gingerdude:
I think it's unlikely you'll get a response, I had the file but that laptop's hard drive is corrupted. You may have more luck private messaging the users who posted here that they'd used it and it worked.....they may still have it. Go page by page and see who used it.
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
I uploaded the "Tizen restore" file used when I restored my Gear 2 after few months with Wear wich finally stopped working.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=15SQfAeT55zMoQZ80M98HFuud5qUUSknI
[Samsung Gear 2] Jaitsu:
...What do you know, that one actually did it. I -swear- I've used a Tizenmod-Full-Restore.tar before, to no avail; it just kept black-screening. (Corrupt...?) This one just rebooted a few times and I've finally got Tizen; thanks! (Now if I can get Tizenmod 3 working on this thing to make it universal, even better...)
[Samsung Gear 2] sagara981:
More and more disappointed. Summary, Notes 4 Global SD rom 9.2 stable with android 7.0. I flash the AW rel version 6. Done Wipe and Factory reset from recovery. The phone mates with the BT, the Gear does update and sync but AW does not find the Gear. I also reset the phone, nothing. I installed AW in all sauces, with active connection and without. Is it possible the MIU does not go with AW? Thank you all for your help.
[Samsung Gear 2] sagara981:
WoW. Solved, installed AW ver. com.google.android.wearable.app_2.0.0.134587396(apkmirror). Thanks.
[Samsung Gear 2] code4power:
I do not recommend! the camera does not work, the calls do not work, you can not answer and talk on the speaker phone, it's not stable!
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Thank you for noticing that, it is posted on first post. We are aware. :) I still use it as I can use it with any Android phone and do everything else I used to do with my watch and MUCH MORE. I don't feel like playing "**** Tracy" and talk from my watch or take crappy 320 resolution pictures. ;)
[Samsung Gear 2] Spatup:
Thanks

Describe the problem I'm having to a T thanks for the suggestion
[Samsung Gear 2] vlad9727:
Hello. I've installed everything, but now im stuck on "Syncing" screen. I can't even pair my phone (Honor 6x) with my gear s2 neo.

I tried "unpairing" it from the menu, it didnt work. It just restarted the watch. Tried going into recovery mode but tbh i have no clue what to do there.

The only thing i can do is access the menu by holding the button, it wont get through the whole "Syncing" thing.

EDIT:

I fixed the problem by (although im not 100% sure this is what fixed it) selecting in Recovery mode , MOUNT, then picking everything there, then formatting the data, not factory reset, then waited till it finished. It might have needed only to factory reset it from Recovery mode. Then in Android wear app, i clicked the 3 dots in the corner, "Show all devices when pairing", then picked my device, and voila! Fixed. Magically.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Gear S2?
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
This is for the Gear 2. Not S2.
[Samsung Gear 2] vlad9727:
well, it still worked nonetheless :D.

[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
I think that you have a Gear 2 Neo. Not s2 neo, which I don't think exists. You may want to check. You can provide a screen shot. However, in either case I'm glad it worked!
[Samsung Gear 2] armsel:
Incoming calls show only number

First, many thanks for the hard work of the original developer! I am enjoying this port more then 2 years now and I am (was) very happy with it!

I am on Android Wear 5.1.1 -> September 24th, 2015: Android Wear Lollipop - 5.1.1 (build LCA43) - found it to be more stable then Android Wear 6.0

But, recently I started having problems:

1. Initial pairing - Wear OS - unable to "see" the watch - thanks to the kind folks here - found workaround - start with older ver. of the wear phone application (ver. 1.5), pair with the watch and then update to Wear OS.

2. Since some months now - the incoming calls are displaying only the phone number and not the contact Name/Picture...

I did test - re-seted the watch again and paired it with Android Wear phone application ver. 1.5, before upgrading to Wear OS - the incoming calls are showing name/picture as expected!!!

Unfortunately the Android wear 1.5 application is constantly displaying messages that it has crashed and it needs to close (although it is still working). Once the Android wear 1.5 is updated to Wear OS - no more name/picture on incoming calls. I am on Oreo.

I wonder if someone had similar issues...

I downloaded ver. 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 from apk mirror hoping those will show name/picture and not crash, but all of them are failing to install without showing any reason why...
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Sorry you are having problems. I suggest that you do a factory wipe of your watch in TWRP and update to the latest wear on your phone. Then pair cleanly. Good luck!
[Samsung Gear 2] armsel:
Thanks for the suggestion - I have done it already (even re-flashed the watch using Odin, but still the same...).

I believe the problem is that the Wear OS on the phone, after certain version it no longer works properly with older versions of Android Wear on the watch (like the one I am using on the watch -> Android Wear Lollipop - 5.1.1 (build LCA43)).

I can either upgrade the watch to Android wear 6.0 (unstable), or try to find older version of Android Wear (phone), that works without crashing on Oreo.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Try upgrading to the latest build, not in op but posted on YouTube. I have linked it in previous posts
[Samsung Gear 2] armsel:
I did it (GNeo_AndroidWear_2016_0708) and it works as expected (showing the called name and picture), but it is extremely unstable for me - constant crashes and big battery drain.

I remember testing it sometime last year - and went back again in few day to 5.1.1 (build LCA43)

I guess I need to find workaround with 5.1.1 (build LCA43)...
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Congratulations! But, realistically, you probably need a new smartwatch. Most have moved on. I also have. Running a Nixon Mission.
[Samsung Gear 2] armsel:
Realistically, you are 100% correct, but I still don't want to let go this one - it suits me and my job perfectly! I wear it Monday to Thursday 8 to 17h, and it lasts those almost 4 days on single charge when on 5.1.1! I charge it once a week!

Fridays or after hours or over vacations and weekends I wear many other (not smart) watches I have in my collection and love to stay "disconnected".

I love the Nixon, love the Garmin Fenix 6, but both are not very business orientated... still waiting for the right watch to come along... :angel:

I will play a bit with 5.1.1 and older versions of the wear app on the phone. I do realize I am fighting lost battle - will be forced sonner, then later to get a new watch... but, hey, let me try fight the system - to be the rebel nerd!
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Quick question, I assume you are running Android Wear because you do not have a Samsung phone? If you have a Samsung phone, why not use Tizen? It lets you use the watch to it's 100% potential. I do understand Android Wear has better and more apps, but can you use the phone as a BT device and answer/make calls from it, but not only make the calls, but speak from/to it? Just my $0.02 If you need it for communication purposes it would be best to use Tizen and use it's apps, if speaking from/to the watch is not needed then the port should suit you well. I personally don't use the BT talk to/from the watch (I only did it when I got it for -no-reason- just to show off) I use it's browsing capability to control my lights (home automation web interface) with a 3rd party app I bought, the Honeywell thermostat app which runs locally on the watch, the Google Fit for exercising, heart rate, Google Maps, etc etc, but I run Android 6 (charge it daily though)

BTW, I own 4 Gear 2's (Gold with gold band, Silver with silver band, Black with black band, and Gray with the stock band (sport one) when I don't want to have a dressy watch)
[Samsung Gear 2] armsel:
You guessed right - I got OnePlus 3 almost 2 years back and struggled for some time to get it work with Tizen without luck...

Then I went for this port and never looked back!

I don't use Android apps the wear accept for 1 watch face, just like it much more then Tizen (I also almost never used the option to talk via the watch).

Last year I got the Samsung Gear S2, used it for 2 weeks and didn't like it. Sold it and kept my old watch.

I hear the S3 is much better, but would like to stick to Android wear... (my current favorite is the Ticwatch, but hasen't won me compleatly yet)

Wow, cool - you are a great fan of the Gear 2! :good:

But I prefer to disconnect after hours (keep my smart watch as "business only") and enjoy my "stupid" watch collection! :)
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
I am in the same position. I use the gear 2 for business dress purposes and the Nixon for play.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

I agree. I have the Google Pixel 2 XL. So, no tizen since I had my ST many years ago.
[Samsung Gear 2] three2nine:
I, too, applaud any of your attempts and progress! I am nowhere near developer status, so I can't even offer help, but I would love to see this watch brought back to life! I actually like this particular model because of its style. I like the metal casing, the physical button and the camera/IR combo. I would be sad if the camera or IR didn't work because they are the reason I bought this watch versus 12 other brands. I have been using Tizen mod because I have an HTC M7, but gear manager no longer recongizes the watch and just crashes. At this point, I can't use the watch and am looking for any sort of movement. Especially any movement toward Lollipop support. After the watch stopped pairing to my phone i decided to load up CM12 to see what Lollipop tasted like and I really like it, but sadly Gear manger won't even load. :(

Good luck!
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
Awesome! Looking forward for news! :good: :good: :good:
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
Man.. I'm eager to see this project takeoff, I mean it has by itself a huge potential for our watches and finally set free from TIN+CRAP+ZEN
[Samsung Gear 2] sephkateno:
I would too love to have android wear on my gear 2 i really hope this will work out thank you for trying i wish i had the knowledge to help out :( though...I'm sick and tired of tizen mostly because it's.....dead as a user said before...
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
It's been some days since I last posted, so I thought at least I'd tell you guys where I'm stuck at.

It seems Tizen uses some Kernel drivers for video that are more common in PC's than embedded devices. Someone at Samsung thought that it would be nice to patch about 500Kb of source code to have Xorg running on a watch, instead of using what was already working (gee, thanks sammy).

So I've been slowly attempting to dismantle the Exynos Direct Rendering Manager from the kernel and turn it back to a dsim/fb device, pretty much like anything android uses and what all the mali based display drivers I've looked at do. Why? because otherwise I would have to write libraries for Android, and truth be told, I would have no idea on where to start.

Right now it doesn't compile, I'm stuck at the S3C Framebuffer (/driver/video/s3c-fb.c) driver wondering why it doesn't find part of the platform data that the display driver should be providing... but doesn't. So far, I had to:

Rebuild half of the arm/ dma related files (the ion_chunk_heap problem was because there were missing pieces in dma-mapping.c & .h which _should_ have been there -they are there on all the 3.4.39 kernel sources from samsung that I've seen-)

Replace all the ion driver folder because it had other parts messed up

Replace all the videobuf2 folder for a working one, since this too was messed up in some files and I didn't even know if it used it...

And quite a lot more stuff...

Good thing is, Samsung left the universal 3250 board files in there, and both the Gear2/neo and the S5 Mini (kmini) kernel are from the same source tree, so I can go copy-pasting what I see too broken to be fixed by hand, and have some references to look at. I hope I'll find some time to work this weekend and see if I can at least get it to boot, and with a lot of luck, display something, with the exynos DRM gone :)

Will keep you posted!
[Samsung Gear 2] Hearten S:
Work Work :)

Wow, thanks for working about porting Android Wear to Android!

I hope it can be successfully ported, and seems that everyone think as me.

Will you port the Android 5.0W or the old Android 4.4W.

And, I'm curious that the heart rate will be work at the Android.

Anyway, good work! You're the best!
[Samsung Gear 2] Kwbmm:
Keep it up!

To me if we mange to put whatever version of Android wear on this smartwatch (I have the gear 2 neo though) it's good enough

OP, just a curiosity, do you think it's doable what you're doing? Do you believe you'll succeed? Which are your feelings?
[Samsung Gear 2] sephkateno:
I don't really care about heart rate sensor or even the camera if we can get android on this baby and have a decent battery life or even better i would be just fine with that.. Also i agree with the last post what are your thoughts [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] do tou think you can do this?
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
About Android versions I'll go with Android 4 for now, simply because all the hal libraries for the GPU that I could get are for that platform and I don't know whether they'll be compatible with Android 5...

About if I will get it running? at this point I don't know. Yesterday I got from not being able to build the kernel, to get a succesful boot and the kernel telling me this:

So I'm definitely making progress, but everytime I work something out there's some other problem, so at this point, I can't say. If I can sort out the video driver problems, maybe I'll get it to boot. Then there'll be tons of other problems to get sorted, like the HRM sensor, gyro etc. At least Bluetooth and touch screen shouldn't be a problem since they are already working in different android devices...
