Wow, I don't know what happened, but I got the good battery life back on the MEC23U build! It is strange, because from the beginning the drain was quite big, maybe the ROM needs some week or so to settle... ;)

Now, for second week in a row, I got full 4 days (96 hours) from Monday 8AM and 9% left on Friday morning 8AM (battery status attached)!:good:

I see that Wellness is using battery and I wonder if there is a way I can stop it - already disabled Wellness access to sensors in Permission management last week, but noting changed... Still even with that, I am now getting even better battery life then 5.1.1!

Once again many thanks to the original developer and all the nice folks writing in this thread!
[Samsung Gear 2] armsel:
Feels like I am talking to myself but...

I think I figured out the battery life mystery -> looks like that touch to wake gets enabled after restart dispute that it says "OFF" in the Gear Settings and hence the poor battery life...

So after restart or power off, one has to go to Gear Settings and toggle touch to wake in order to get it really to be "OFF".
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
I get great battery life, as long as I don't enable "always on".
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
I don't use ALWAYS ON, but I do use TOUCH TO WAKE. I usually have about 40% last at bed time

Downloading

When i try to download the latest release (release 6 beta 4 i think it was) i can't download it via mega, it's stuck on initialising. when i check other posts in this thread i see some links too so i click that but then it says i need another decryption key... and just to be sure wich version is better with performance and/or battery? is it the one on youtube or the one on this thread? i'd like a fast answer as i want to connect my watch to my huawei p9.

thanks in advance

"- Install the very first old version of Android Wear app. "

---> Version? I have to download apk from web?

"I even noticed that the speakers of the watch were working now."

---> Work for call too?
[Samsung Gear 2] armadadrive:
Yes, try an APK mirror site and find the earliest version of Android Wear that they have (likely 1.0.something). I don't think the speakers work for calls, yet - it states on the main page that the dev was never interested in getting that to work. I can't confirm though, as I'm still waiting for the pairing process to complete with Android Wear 1.0...
[Samsung Gear 2] OmegaRED^:
Thanks for all the active people that sill assist here,

Been trying to figure out how to push apk's to this device on lolipop.

Any easy tools or do i just need a few commands on adb?
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
Which kind of apps are you wanting?

The apps that are on my Neo are downloaded to the phone and synced to the watch with Android Wear OS.
[Samsung Gear 2] OmegaRED^:
i want to push Touchdoom or GZdoom to it.

my nostelgia needs it.
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
Oh, I'm not familiar with those.

I will be of no assistance, sorry. :(
[Samsung Gear 2] OmegaRED^:
Any apps to get the gallery/video working?

Any apps for the cam?

Why can't i see the usb device?
[Samsung Gear 2] TacoNikky:
Usb mtp is removed by google for wear devices. You have adb commands working.

There is a gallery app which called anytime gallery. It shows pictures on the watch, you can synchronize pictures from the phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moletag.gallery&hl=tr
[Samsung Gear 2] OmegaRED^:
I fixed MTP

I got music playing and working

all i need is video

Problem to connect s7 edge android wear and gear 2 neo

Hello, my phone s7 edge doesn't sync with my watch gear s2 with android wear. I need help!!!!
[Samsung Gear 2] paripes:
I'll answer myself!! I got it!!! I've installed the android wear last version and wear OS 1.5.0.2835999.gms APK. Both devices were paired successfull. Great!!!
[Samsung Gear 2] netllama:
Which instructions & packages did you use? Trying to get a 'new to me' Gear 2 working.
[Samsung Gear 2] paripes:
I didn't use more instructions than showed in this thread. Only I can't pair wacht and phone so searching videos I found a user with the same problem and I tried out to install the version 1.5 of wear app. After two devices will be paired and you'll be able update to the latest version of wear app. I hope you'll have luck!!!
[Samsung Gear 2] netllama:
I got the watch setup too, and now I'm also having problems getting the watch & phone paired. When I installed version 1.5 of the Google Wear app, it immediately insists on auto-updating to the latest version, and I never get a chance to try pairing. How did you avoid this?
[Samsung Gear 2] user342091:
Go to the play store swipe from the left side to open the menu>settings>auto update apps change the setting to do not auto update apps, after you've paired your watch you're free to turn auto updates back on if you wish :)
[Samsung Gear 2] hakky786:
Just wondering how did u manage to fix MTP as ive tried all day with no luck?

Muchas gracias!!!!

Hello friends, I recently bought a Gear 2 and I could not connect it in any way to my xiaomi MI A1 until I found this great firmware. Now I can use it every day, I receive messages from WhatsApp y much more. Muchas gracias! Ojalá el creador de este firmware lo actualice pronto.
[Samsung Gear 2] fabio.tufi:

Thank you for your work!!

I don't have found the kernel file .tar necessary before the Wear installation.

Please can you send or post the link to the the kernel file.tar?

many thanks!!!

[Samsung Gear 2] Lord Alpha:
Hey guys! I flashed the ROM but the watch doesn't seem to show any synced apps from my phone ( I downloaded a few for my watch and it's been more than 2 days)
[Samsung Gear 2] devpalsingh81:
Hi ,

I have flashed and put android wear 1.4.2576 , android 6.01 on my samsug 2 neo watch. But i have a small problem .

It works well with an old phone which also have similar android version however when i try to search for pair on my new phones like one plus 6 or nokia 7 plus it is not able to search the watch.

I have downloaded the old android wear apk from mirror site and also reset the watch but still no joy.

Can anyone suggest how to use it with new phone with latest android version on phone.
[Samsung Gear 2] StatBlack:
I am running into the same problem, i downloaded the newest rom i could find and the first android wear apk, and cant get play store on the watch? Can someone post the correct software so i can make sure i have the correct versions? Thanks
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
PlayStore on the watch only for Android Wear 2.0, not for Wear 1.5 in this ROM ;)

I liked it at the time. But development on this project has ended long ago. I believe you should move on to a current system.
[Samsung Gear 2] Amodin:
Thank you for this. I have a Gear 2, and had a couple of phones that the stock firmware wasn't working with, shortly after I bought the watch. This literally saved me from not getting rid of it, and now using it with my Moto z2 Force.

I install the Android 6 on my Samsung Gear 2 Neo, and i found it on my Huawei Mate 10 Lite via bluetooth, but i dont find it via Wear OS.

Watch is stuck at Syncing with the Phone.

Should iFactory Reset it again ?

[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
It can't hurt! But frankly, this watch is too old and development stopped over 2 years ago. This thread should probably be closed 🔐
[Samsung Gear 2] nikoman1987:
Just donload an old apk version of Wear OS from apkmirror .First you need to clear the data of the version that you have downloaded from playstore.After that uninstall the app and install the old version.After you connect your watch to your phone and everything is synced ,you can update Android wear app to the lates version from playstor and your watch will still be connected. I can give you one more advice: Download the last version of Zenwatch manager too (you can find it in apkmirror too) to customize your watch faces. I use :

Android wear ( the old name of Wear OS ) version 2.0.0.138530141.gms

Zenwatch Manager version 3.3.0.10828

I use the latest update ( Gear2_Wear6_Rel6.tar ) and the only issues that i have are with calls (the speaker sound gets distorted ofter the 3rd second ) and there is no sound for notifications - only vibration )

I hope da this info will help you. It is very sad that we won`t see port for Wear os 2.0 because the watch is hardware capable ,Hawei watch 1st generation (2015) works wiith 2.1 and has almost the same specs... Or device just needs a developer ,but i cannot find ayn that has the will to port...
[Samsung Gear 2] jTinker:
Google Play services always crashing :(
[Samsung Gear 2] mptech7102:
I'm sure the answer is no but I'll ask anyway on the chance I'm wrong. Is there any way to combine the TWRP recovery with the Tizen OS? The Wear OS just doesn't quite do enough, but with a TWRP recovery I could mod to my hearts content on Tizen.
[Samsung Gear 2] richmondB:
I know this really an old thread , but i just got i it from my brother and i got it working now but there is no mtp(the storage is not getting detected) and is the adb command the only option i got to transfer files in the watch? Thank you so much
[Samsung Gear 2] Hustlersonly:
Me too, will donate if successful so keep trying we all behind you.
[Samsung Gear 2] tooandrew:
i would sideload a file manager and connect it to a network share on your pc or a ftp server or something.
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
Hello friends, I tell you to install the latest version of Android wear on my Gear 2. Sync without problems on my S22 Ultra. I can answer WhatsApp from the watch with audio notes 😃
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
I am happy to tell you that your project is still alive. I have installed Android Wear 6 on my Gear 2 and managed to sync it seamlessly on my S22 Ultra, it works so well I can even answer WhatsApp messages from the watch with voice notes that are sent as text. Excuse my English, I hope you understand. Thank you!!!
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
It's too old. Get a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic or a Pixel Watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
I am very happy with my Gear 2 and I have all the functions I need (Answer WhatsApp with voice notes, Infrared control, I receive all notifications, make and answer calls), It is also a very nice watch
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Good for you! I'm amazed you still have battery. Mine wasn no longer functional, years ago.
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
The battery is good, it lasts 2 days using it normally, with all the notifications and answering WhatsApp messages
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
How did you manage to do that? i am trying to sync wear os to the flashed gear neo 2 and it does not see it...any advice?
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
To synchronize the smartwatch for the first time, you must use an old version of the Wear OS app, after it is synchronized you can update to the latest version of the app.

(At the time of synchronization, you must put the airplane mode). If you have any problem, write me again.
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
now the issue is it keeps saying it is offline it connects to the phone, I can control the audio of the phone via neo 2 and that is pretty much it. how can I make the watch go online and be able to use the functions to the fullest?
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
What version of Wear OS did you use to sync the first time?

I use this version : https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/gFWUDy6KB6Ci
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
That is the exact version i used to first sync. maybe because I first had the newer version installed and after unninstal I did not clean the data before re-install the old version?
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
I really do not know. What I did was put my smartphone in "Airplane" mode, then install that old version of Wear OS and then sync the smartwatch. Do not connect your smartphone to the internet until the watch finishes synchronization, after that contact your internet and wait for the old app to update some things.
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
the only thing i did not do was put the phone in airplain mode when installing the old version. i will do it now really quick. do you have maps on your neo2?
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
There is no map application or play store but if I can receive notifications from all the apps, including WhatsApp, I can also receive and answer calls, answer WhatsApp with voice notes, etc.
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:

[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
I'm very sorry I can't help you more. My watch is a Gear 2 and I haven't had a problem syncing it to my S22Ultra. You can try other versions of the application: https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/page/7/?appcategory=android-wear
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
it is working, thanks for your help, just minor functions not working but hey can't complain any idea on how to install faces?
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
I have not been able to install any applications or new faces. I recommend that you use the Android Wear file that was last uploaded in this post. That ROM has a lot of faces. You can also try to install apps and faces via ADB. https://bubble.dynalogix.eu/gen1/#manual
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
Let me tell you that I managed to get ZenWatch Manager to work on my S22Ultra and sync with my Gear 2. I'm so excited. Simply install the latest version of Play Services compatible with Android Wear OS 6+
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
install play services where? i am happy for you my friend. mind sharing the process you did so I can try to repeat it?
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
I used the link you sent me to install the OS https://mega.nz/file/pFxSkajI#jswoESwegKV4JNBatPdlp70B3_5x-hWv0LFKBU1kMF4 do you have this version installed on your watch too?
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
I am currently not using that rom. I'm using https://mega.nz/file/QQwXQKCD#U-y82wTuBflzdBTrLccxrSLoLkTJUGWtEXMZ6TPikQU

After installing that ROM, it didn't sync yet, first you have to install Google Play services (Wear OS) the October 2021 version (armeabi-v7a Android 6.0+) That was the one that worked for me but you can try others https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services-android-wear/

Just turn on developer mode, turn on usb debugging, and then you're ready to install using adb "adb install -r (apk name)".

After installing the new Google Play services you can start synchronization. This app worked for me:

Wear OS by Google Smartwatch: https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/mPcc8jG9Mjqh

Did you try facer on yours?
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
Yes I have Facer installed. I uploaded a photo, you can see it above ☝️.

Then I'm going to try to install Google Assistant
[Samsung Gear 2] megarage:
And? did you managed to install google assistant? for me I cant install anything I only have debug via Bluetooth :(
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
Hello friend, yes I was able to install the Google assistant but it did not connect. Unfortunately there aren't many apps compatible with Android 6 anymore but I just wanted to give it a try, it wasn't important to have the Google assistant, the smartwatch works excellent, the battery lasts 2 days, I receive all the notifications, you can start a phone call, I can answer messages WhatsApp with voice notes and everything that can be done on a modern Smartwatch but even more with my IR Blaster 🙂
[Samsung Gear 2] greg_z:
I couldn't connect to watch on android 13 and new Wear OS app. Solution is to uninstall Wear Os app, then download version 1.3.0.2223019. On that version you can connect. After watch sync press update in app to get to new version again and it worked for me.
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:

Were can I get the older Android wear? I have my Gear 2 updated but can not get it to sync to my phone.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
Try these: https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/ofnTcr5u37Mh
[Samsung Gear 2] Serpent:
Thanks. None of them seem to see my watch when they search. I can click on my phone bluetooth and connect it there but it only partially connects. Here is what I have done initially.

I flashed my watch with the Android Wear 6 image from the first post https://mega.nz/#!QQwXQKCD!U-y82wTuBflzdBTrLccxrSLoLkTJUGWtEXMZ6TPikQU Then tried syncing with the latest Android wear which didn't work. Next I tried using android wear from here : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-wear/android-wear-1-3-0-2223019-release/

That didn't seem to see my watch either. Now tried the ones you provided and they do not detect my watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] Serpent:
Also this is for a Samsung S23 Ultra. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
Please read some previous posts carefully and you may find some very useful stuff.
[Samsung Gear 2] niko666x:
I can make a tutorial if you want
[Samsung Gear 2] Serpent:
After installing old WearOS app and launching the app, please follow the steps and then connect the watch directly from Bluetooth, the watch will start to sync, wait a few minutes and update Wear OS from Play Store

These directions worked for me. The last piece I need is to get Facer working to use my custom watch face I had made for my Tizen watch. I am unsure how to load the watched facer:

Facer to install on the smartwatch: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facer...s-6-1-5_1102871-watch-2-android-apk-download/

Do you have directions for that? Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] Serpent:
The last piece was to use adb to install Facer onto my watch.

adb.exe install com.jeremysteckling.facerrel_6.1.5_1102871.watch-1102871_minAPI23(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86,x86_64)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk"
