[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
I did that too. I did a factory reset on the watch, then forgot device on the phone to no avail which is why I factory reset in recovery

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

any idea why a factory reset in recovery disables the bluetooth ability?
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
Sometimes I've noticed that it takes a couple of wipes in twrp before it functions properly. Well at least on my end. Oh and it's best to forget watch in Android wear before wiping in twrp. This is my personal experience so other results may vary.
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
right on. Thanks! yeah, that last part has been my experience too LoL
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
I've never experienced an issue. Factory reset than pair. You also need to have your phone forget the previous paired device.
[Samsung Gear 2] burgudoy:
pretty nice for samsung to update an old product, hope it also gets AW2.0 so our beloved Gear 2 will hopefully have it too :)

how to get root on gear live MM rom? SuperSU app is chrashing all time.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Wrong thread, wrong forum
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] I think I might have found the cause of the screen tearing issue: screen refresh rate mismatch.

However, I am unable to get the screen refresh rate for the original Tizen OS. I can't find any command or API that leads to it. Perhaps it's somewhere in the kernel sources?

So maybe you should try fixing the refresh rate when you have time...

And also, congratulations for being a father.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
Congrats! We just had a our 2nd daughter 3 weeks ago..
[Samsung Gear 2] jrkelley14:
Amazed at how well this works. Didn't think it was going to be useful enough for daily driver but after 24 hours I'm sold.....does all the stuff I wish the Samsung tizen rom would do. Latest build from March working great! Nice job guys and keep up the good work. Feel like I was able to get a new watch ...for free.
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
I have had the same problem. There is something wrong with the partitions, so go back to Tizen and then flash Wear rom again...
[Samsung Gear 2] aksity:
Hi guys, thanks for Job !!!!!!! :) :) :)

I am having a little problem , the motion detector is always on when I move my wrist.

Yet I deactivated this option.

An idea ?

Sorry for my bad english (french)
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
Hm... Recovery_fota_cache is missing on the Mediafire. So, how to restore Tizen without this file if the first methode fail?
[Samsung Gear 2] Da_Mak:
You can switch it off on the phone app.
[Samsung Gear 2] Neroga:
So which do you guys prefer? I'm currently on the March MM build and having a few issues. I see that there's a new 2-18-2016 MM build, but I was wondering if the LP one is better lol.
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
I'm on the latest (March) build and I have absolutely no problems.

I prefer MM over LP anytime.
[Samsung Gear 2] mikle_01:
The same here - absolutely NO problems!! Don't know, if the batterylife was a little bit better with LP....
[Samsung Gear 2] Neroga:
Aha, awesome. I found another 03-08-2016 build that has a few more things working. Another question.. How exactly do you guys get this rooted? I see that it's possible with Android Wear, but everything I've found leads me to the LG watch. According to the OP here, TWRP is limited in functionality. Is it possible to flash SuperSU? Will it work, simply not work, or wreck my watch? Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
afaik, the AW build is already pre-rooted and so flashing SuperSU should be no issue.

Never done that myself, as I don't need it.

So you can try and see for yourself if it works.

But you don't actually need root, as the rom works pretty well without it.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
Not sure what the deal is and lost track of versions.

I used to have sound working in the past. With latest build I was able to turn up sound and hear it then, but not during any events or screen clicks anymore.

Odin back to the previous version Gear2_Wear6_2016_03_08.tar

and still no sound.
[Samsung Gear 2] Neroga:
I'd stick with the last March build posted here. I tested all the MM ROMs I could find, and that one seems to have the least amount of problems with the most functionality. I couldn't get the IR Remote to work on anything else lol.

Sadly, the MM build isn't rooted and I haven't been able to find a method for rooting it. If anyone knows of a way to remove/add system apps, let me know! Trying to remove/replace a couple of system apps (mainly the one of the 2 stopwatch apps).
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
ADB can do this of course, and Advanced Settings for Watch claims it can, but you need root. Many have sideloaded SuperSu with ADB and obtained root on various watches.

[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] cautions against this, and states it is rooted via default.prop, you might want to check that.

[Samsung Gear 2] Neroga:
Aha I tried sideloading root with multiple zips and nothing seemed to work. If anyone has any knowledge on getting root, drop me a line! I've always been a fan of tinkering with the innards of android devices and I'd love to get into messing with the watch. Mainly trying to turn off the tilt to turn the screen on, but keeping the shake part. I'm sure it'd be a piece of cake once I can actually get system access.

Big thanks to everyone that helped me out! Got everything working including the minuum keyboard.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Does your default.prop show the insecure setting that is in the link to biktor post? That might be the problem.
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
Disable it from the phone side Android Wear app.
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
You don't need to sideload a SuperSU, just type in adb root and it'll run in root mode. Don't use the su command since there's no such binary preloaded.
[Samsung Gear 2] Neroga:
Thank ya! Worked like a charm. I tried to do a pull but it only grabs system, bin, and vendor. Are there any other folders, or is this it?

On a side note, 210 density works nicely. Makes the minuum keyboard fit perfectly. On stock DPI, the keyboard close button is hidden off to the right side. 210 adds that back so you can type and not have to jump through hoops to send messages via Wear Messages.
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I posted a tutorial for this several pages back. I can both confirm that 1) the ROM is rooted and 2) that you can remove system apps. In fact, removing some of the Asus stuff on the most current build helped me improve battery life and stability.

I did go back to the Sept build in hopes of better battery life... and found that it was about the same. Finally, I found that having Google Fit installed on my phone was eating both devices' batteries horribly.
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
You're welcome.

You can use the "ls" command to query files and folders that exist in current directory. Or "ls (dir)" to specify the directory.
[Samsung Gear 2] Neroga:
Aha, figured that one out. Forgot how a lot of Adb runs like MSDOS.

If anyone is having horrible battery life on their phones while paired with this, remove Google Fit. Went from 8 hours SoT over ~48 hours down to having to charge my phone twice a day before removing it.
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Did you just remove it from the watch and get this kind of battery improvement? I completely uninstalled Fit from my phone when wakelock detector pointed to it as my major battery consumer, but I didn't think of just uninstalling it from the watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] Neroga:
Yes yes. I uninstalled it from the phone first and didn't notice an improvement at all. Removing it from the watch was an immediate change. Even turned on the option to always keep the phone/watch connected and my battery life is the same as using a simple Bluetooth headset.
[Samsung Gear 2] veriluxxxx:
how do you remove it from the watch?
[Samsung Gear 2] Nick1602:
what about put sound on the alarms!?

I still can`t do this... =/
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
Alarms have yet sound ;)
[Samsung Gear 2] Nick1602:
How them?

I need to put songs in the memory?
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
No sounds..

Currently using;

Gear 2 315B

Build MEC23G

Android Wear 1.40.2576000

Google play services 9.0.83

Android 6.0.1

There was a time / build that I could hear clicks, get sound notifications, Google now on watch ...

I used to hear google respond on watch.

Now sound hasn't worked with a few builds. I can hear sounds in Settings when turning up/down sections, but not during regular use.

I don't think it's rooted. I didn't run Super Su on it. (Should I)?

Please recommend the latest working build W/ sound that everyone is using..

1.) since I now moved to Note 5 (watch no-sound prob even before switching) and have no In-fared for remote.. is IR working on watch yet?

2.) Anyone know of an Android app that would shut it down with a click / shortcut instead of going into settings - power - off

Thank you
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
The ROM is prerooted. You can tell because in an ADB shell, your promt is # instead of $. As to the rest of your questions... I have no idea about sound. I don't want nor need my watch making bunches of extra noise.

There is a lot of chatter in this thread not related to development in any way, this only makes it difficult for us to find updates and wastes biktor's time trying to wade through the thread.
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
Finally finished downloading. It's strange that the phone says it is "paired" with the watch not "connected" to it. But the Android wear App can still control the watch. And both the Wear and the Android Wear App shows "connected.

If you use tethered Bluetooth Internet sharing it might work. But is there any way to get those 2 things "connected" in the settings? That might be the cause.
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
I'm not too sure of what's happening. If you read the logs you'll notice this:

E/CheckiTask( 541): Checkin failed: https://android.clients.google.com/checkin (request #0): java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "android.clients.google.com": No address associated with hostname

And in fact it can't resolve the address, and can't ping to the outside world (from the watch). So it looks like there's some part of the Bluetooth PAN that isn't working, or not routing, or something. I've made extensive changes to the kernel looking at the network configuration in the Sprat (gear live) defconfig, but so far, I'm unable to make it pass through. BLE mode is there in the middle too, so maybe it's entering some kind of intermediate sleep step that I'm not seeing before actually finishing the setup... If I still can't manage to get it to work, will go make a dirty cm11 boot image just to test bluetooth pan (now I have all the required libraries ;) )

I also thought of tunneling internet access using ADB, I know it can be done, but I'm not sure I can do it from Wear, that would certainly bypass *this* problem...
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
Good idea. Why not? I'll try it if you tell me how to. I'm not too familiar with adb.

---------- Post added at 19:52 ---------- Previous post was at 18:58 ----------

Was thinking we can get camera app from Null.
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffc83:
If there is anything you need me to test with ADB, I'd be happy to do so!

Just a side thought but there is a Bluetooth debugging option in the DEV options on the watch and in the Android wear app on the phone after pairing...I'm going to turn both on and see if it can provide me with any useful information. (most likely not but is worth a shot)

EDIT: When I turn both on, it displays "host: disconnected and target: connected". Something is not communicating with the host. (phone) Still testing...

Biktor - Good thought with trying to obtain internet access through ADB but it is a no go. (tried several times) It just hangs then says "unable to connect to...."

I tried a few more times and keep getting the same thing. This option is out.
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
I see the Host Disconnected issue from my settings app. It keeps saying that they are paired and never connects. And I am still wondering how can they transmit data without establishing a connection.

About the reverse tethering:

How did you do that? What is the command you used?

BTW, Null is based on Android right? Then we should be able to extract camera app from it. Just thinking who wrote the app.

---------- Post added at 22:19 ---------- Previous post was at 22:12 ----------

What if we disable the check in service? Then we can get through the setup. Anyway skipping problems cannot fix problems. Just temporarily giving the watch a time-telling feature.
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffc83:
I'm still playing with the ADB reverse tethering since something wasn't sitting well with me...the watch needs to be rooted so the option is NOT out the door yet! I guess I have a brick with a menu so I may try the TWRP root method....has anyone even tried that yet? Damn this setup screen!

Yes, NULL is running Android but is based off of 4.2.2 so it won't be as easy as pulling apks from it.

@ Biktor - Have you tried rooting at all yet?
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
yes it is possible to root using Twrp. I did it.
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffc83:
It appears that I have root now, thanks!

EDIT: Spoke too soon...we do NOT have proper root. It gets almost all the way though then says "System error. No root or superuser permission denied" CRAP

I gave up on ADB...the screenshots below are from using "reverse tethering"

Pulled the log and this is error is displayed every second - Socket Error # 10054. Connection reset by peer.
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffc83:
That's what I was afraid of...thanks for the heads up!

THIS IS A GEAR 2 DEVELOPMENT THREAD. YOU SHOULD NOT POST ANYTHING NOT RELATED TO IT.

1)Read before posting. Such things have happened before.

2)This is a dev thread. Even if this place is allowed to post Gear S related things you should post it in Q&A thread.

Now things are getting a little more interesting : if we connect it to a phone, it receives phone calls. If we don't, we can view battery levels.

---------- Post added at 19:42 ---------- Previous post was at 19:33 ----------

Biktor do you know the trick of skipping setup in Tizen? Tap on the name of your watch in setup and click the MAC address showed 40 times(should be like that, can't verify now.)

---------- Post added at 19:51 ---------- Previous post was at 19:42 ----------

How about disabling Google Services? That should skip GMS check-in. Wondering can android wear connect to Bluetooth without that.

BTW is Bluetooth Pan and bluesleep the only not-working things or there are something else?

---------- Post added at 19:59 ---------- Previous post was at 19:51 ----------

GOT IT. Chainfire's SU Binary grants access if there is not Supersu app in the device(I tried it) . If TWRP is using his binary, than we can simply remove SuperSU.apk from /system/app in recovery. (Yes, I found it there.) than we should be able to use USB tethering. Can't try right now. Someone try it.
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
Yeah, Got Root

at least from adb, try usb tether

EDIT: Again, spoken too early. Tether tool is not getting root. But glad adb is working well :) Try command line

I need help: How to start USB reversed tethering manually? I'm not advanced user of adb so is there anyone who can tell me how to?
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffc83:
that's where I was yesterday...Lol.

ADB didn't work even though root is there in ADB...
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
I do have sounds on my Gear 2 with the latest (march) build, as the watch is ringing when I receive a call.

I have the app "Smart Wear Notifications" running on my watch and mobile and I used to have good sound with this app, like read out WhatsApp notifications. But since a few updates ago, those read-out notifications stopped working.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
The dev removed the read aloud from SWN because of excessive battery use. He said he will try to add it back in. There is a thread in the Android Wear forum here on XDA.
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
You'll need to use adb.

adb shell <-this give you a linux shell that's running on the watch

pm list packages -e <- gives you a list of installed, enabled package names

pm disable <package name> <- cut and paste the package name from above. This will disable the package

I've updated my earlier tutorial for a couple reasons.

1) This method works on preinstalled packages as well

2) I think this will prevent the watch app from reenabling when you update apps on your phone.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
Right.. that's what I thought... wanted to make sure it wasn't just my config..
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
We can use :

- Feel the wear

- Lightflow

to make sound for notification with the "Gear 2 wear". This 2 apps works fine without all the issue of "Smart Wear Notifications"
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
In the latest version of SWN, I have sound back.

I had to go into settings and disable the option "do you have a speaker".

And re-enable it.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
Updated many times without problems...

This time while upgrading in Odin, it crashed 1/2 through and now this... :-{

I started watching this video and it was funny..the guy was cursing up a storm because his Gear 2 also screwed..

Screen tear and Nand erase Problem

Anyone else getting screen tear issues when navigating around on the gear 2 with Android wear 6 Beta (Mar 4 2016 Build)? Also, I have been having issues loading android wear builds through odin after Nand Erasing all. It will boot into the custom recovery but It always fails to factory reset and when I reboot, it gets stuck on the boot screen. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] HSishi:
I converted my Gear 2 Neo to Android Wear 6 (last known Beta build in the OP ). There were no problems in changing the OS since there are good HowTo's. But I have the problem I can't get MTP to work.

I managed to get the ADB driver installed but any MTP driver refused to work.

So, does the March 4 build of AW6 contain MTP, can it be added with another TWRP, Kernel or whatever or do I miss something else?

Thanks for reply :) .

//HSishi
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
If you're having issues w/ factory reset working try this (leave the watch in recovery, obviously):

Close Odin (I'm assuming a recent flash)

Open a command prompt/terminal

Connect via ADB

'adb shell rm -rf /data/*' <- If this fails it may just be 'adb shell rm -rf /data/' ... I don't remember if this is one of the commands that's a bit different between Android terminal and Bash.

adb reboot

Should be good to go.

All that said, factory reset not working sounds like possible partition corruption. You might want to take a few minutes to reflash tizenmod and then come back to Wear after the partition structure is demangled.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
Im

STILL

not getting sound and found out the hard way the built in Heart rate monitor is worthless.. Forgot my heart rate strap and used the watch stand alone.. VERY inaccurate.

Is this the nature of the gimmick or is it have anything to do with this rom?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Wrist straps measuring pulse rate are notoriously inaccurate. Chest straps are far better. I has stents in my heart 10 years ago and my cardiologist was aghast at my activity level. It took a good heart rate monitor with a chest strap (and electrolyte gel) to gather data to convince him I was not hurting myself on a mountain bike. A wrist monitor is ok just for rough monitoring, but not for serious fitness work.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
It's extremely useless. My Zone 1 is usually around 115BPM , the watch was reading mostly 75 & 80 range..

I just wished they would have left the gimmic out of the watch and instead added the more accurate temperature Gage that has been out for so many years or compass.

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Anyone getting system sounds with latest build?
[Samsung Gear 2] HSishi:
For the pulse feature, I had to find out the hard way my wrists are too hairy. My (very dark) "fur" blocked the sensor so I had to shave the tiny area where the sensor touches the skin. Helped alot.

Of course I have to repeat that every few weeks ...

Is there any help for the MTP problem I described here?

//HSishi
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Even on Tizen I found the HR monitor to be finicky, and that was sitting still. My Charge HR at least seems to agree w/ the pulse grips on the cardio equipment in the gym, and what the nurse gives me when she takes my pulse.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
What is "Charge HR"
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
A Fitbit activity tracker w/ integrated green LED constant pulse monitoring. Fitbit is currently involved in a class action lawsuit involving the accuracy of the heart rate monitoring... but I'm not using it as a cardio target or any such. And, again, it agrees with a healthcare professional at rest and the grip monitors on the cardio equipment at the gym.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
Yeeeya, I found my heart rate monitor strap ANT+ , so Im back in action counting calorie burn.

It was definitely a disappointing learning experience with the watch HR monitor though..
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Does anybody happen to know what package provides 'Together', 'Stopwatch' or 'Timer'?

OK, com.google.android.deskclock provides timer and stopwatch... Doesn't appear to break anything else.
