[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
Enough problems in Android 4.4W as to think of updating to 5... Also, I can't find a full system image of Lolipop Wear, so I don't have much to work with... All I see are Delta images (patch images) that are of no use without the full flash. If anyone has an LG G Watch or a Gear Live with lolipop and can do a flash dump I'll be happy to play with it.

This is the closest I got so far with audio:

It almost works. Being *almost* the magic word. As you can read, it detects inputs and outputs, but then crashes due to a corruption issue. If only I could get that out of the way... Or if Samsung would have released the audio hal for the Galaxy Gear...

Should we ask Rajesh Krishnan at Samsung to give us some help? After all, he or his team are who made the audio HAL libraries for the Gear 1 and most of Samsung phones in the first place ;)
