Android Wear gets voice calling and message dictation in major update

Seems like the new android wear update is going to support voice call.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/4/10917308/android-wear-gestures-voice-calls-dictation-update

So far they said the only watches support are the Huawei watch and 49mm Asus Zenwatch 2 which both have in built speaker.

How about our Samsung Gear 2/Neo? :)
[Samsung Gear 2] SightlessRoot:
OMG, you're ****ing brilliant mate! Now, next question: I know the current android 5.1.1 codebase supports an accessibility feature called audio feedback, a feature that reads out cards and notifications, settings, apps and other screen elements to a blind or visually impaired user as they use the wearable. Now I know this will work, considering I sideloaded an android audio player and it played audio through the speaker (so the audio works flawlessly) I was just wondering if you could implement audio feedback into your builds. I can't donate much (blind 16-year-old in New Zealand does that), but if you could take a look about implementing that into perhaps just a patch file, that would be excellent. :)

Keep up the awesome work!
[Samsung Gear 2] emuandco:
Current stable build has no official audio support and thus I am quite sure that theres no support for audio feedback yet. Next build (the one biktor_gj just made a test version of) should support it, if the Huawei or Asus Zenwatch 2 do so.
[Samsung Gear 2] radioactive87:
Am i the only one... with Wlan not working ?.. I couldnt set wlan to anything other .... It Say WLAN OFF in settings of the Watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] radioactive87:
By the way.... I found a music player for playing music Directly on my gear 2....an its plays the mp3 file... But there is no sound from the speaker..... In the "working" list is "Audio input and output"
[Samsung Gear 2] Kwbmm:
Wlan is supposed to not work because Gear 2 (neo) does not have a wifi antenna
[Samsung Gear 2] SightlessRoot:
I realise that the current operating system has no stable audio support. However, the latest version of Android ware does include audio feedback, which will use any available Android compatible audio device. So there is actually no excuse to not implement it.
[Samsung Gear 2] bcw448:
Huawei watch Android Wear 1.4 (6.0 Marshmallow) preview with audio support.

Finally android wear has local support on the watch for playing music and also making phone calls.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, we know. How many times do we get the "news" that we know already? :silly:
[Samsung Gear 2] :
No excuse to not implement it? My friend, XDA isn't a candy store and no developer owes anyone here anything, or even an explanation why they do or don't implement something.

If that doesn't sit well with anyone, then move on to something else, or learn to create your own work.

Please, respect the people creating work and sharing for free on XDA, because make no mistake, they are the lifeblood of this site, not the people here looking to make their device kewl. ;)

Thread cleaned a bit.

Really??!!

Android 5.1.1.

[Samsung Gear 2] Spartan304:
So does this mean that the dump that was acquired isn't the right version with audio support or does this mean that the new update is still just based on Android 5.1.1 but we can now have audio feedback??
[Samsung Gear 2] aryamir2000:
This means that the dump was based on 5.1.1 and doesn't have audio support. it has no difference with the last wear build that we have on our device.
[Samsung Gear 2] Spartan304:
Ah ok, well here's hoping someone manages to snag the new update soon. Patiently waiting... :)
[Samsung Gear 2] weskin:
For a moment I hopes up . I tried searching for Huawei versions of marshmallow and the Moto 360 but found nothing ... people say that updates to this version but there is no download links yet...

As far as I'm aware of it, the updates are currently only rolling out for the Moto 360 (both 1st and 2nd gen).

[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
Shoot me if I'm wrong, but aren't this the post and pre conditions before flashing ?

[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
Yes, but that specific version for that variant. I found the initial 4.4 factory image for the minnow (moto 360 v1). If we could get ALL the OTAs up to what the updater scripr wants I can patch them one by one until I get a full system image. A helping hand?
[Samsung Gear 2] dino-zor:
this thread appears to have all the updates for the gen1 360, including 6.0:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-360/general/ref-motorola-moto-360-stock-ota-urls-t2869513/page12

no luck on finding huawei watch or gear live lists yet, though I remember seeing them somewhere
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
At this moment only the Moto 360 (1st and 2nd gen) have received the new update.

Others will follow soon, but not yet.

Only 1 lucky guy received an OTA on his Huawei watch, but forgot (or is not willing) to save the OTA update.

So it's a plain matter of waiting until the rest will get it and Biktor can do his magic
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
That can't be true. Huawei is constantly looking for beta testers ("friendly user") for their software. Usually there's a lot of people getting the update. So there can't be only one. Hopefully the official update will be released soon.

I've had some issues with pairing with my nexus 6p too. I don't know why but sometimes the pairing works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work I get stuck at the updating screen. Just try factory resetting it until it works, that's how I did it.

[Samsung Gear 2] Penguin_be:
Had to reset the watch... Works now ;)
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
Thanks! Downloading them now!

My idea is:

Modify the updater script on each OTA package, so it doesn't check bootloader, boot image, and all that stuff, and only updates the binaries on /system.

Flash Motorola 360v1 base image (4.4, KGW42N) and go updating the image with each OTA release up to Wear 6.

Then backup, port all of our stuff (boot, libraries etc) to the image and see what it does.

Given this is still Android, I'm thinking audio out should work if the audio policy manager exposes a speaker, even if the build is made for a non-speaker watch... but I guess we won't know it for sure until we get it booting :)
[Samsung Gear 2] SubZeroNexii:
No problem ;).

I can't wait to get marshmallow on my gear 2 neo. Oh and by the way, there are 12 update files. If you need something, just give me a message. I'm no developer but I'm willing to help.
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
Ok guys a little update:

I got the package [MENTION=4213575]timandrei12[/MENTION] set up, and I've been looking into them. From all the updates for the Moto 360, the LCA44 version update (5.1.1) was a full update of the entire system partition, so I didn't have to patch *all of them* to be able to get a 6.0.1 system partition.

Now for the bad part, I patched the Wear 6 update file and applied it to the LCA image directly dumped into my Gear Neo... and the system partition got completely corrupted (corrupted like the Kernel saying I/O error whenever you wanted to simply 'cat' a file). Then I found out that the Moto 360 boot image is 500 Mb in size and ours is 489Mb! So it got completely f***d up.

So I got the Gear S, and patched again, and this time I got a clean Moto 360 Wear 6 image. I have removed everything I could from the Moto 360 (firmwares, PowerVR GPU libraries etc). Eventually I could fit the image into the gear neo with 408Kb of free space!

Buuut I still haven't managed to make it boot. I can get to see the boot animation starting with the Motorola logo, but so far no luck getting into the actual system. Now that I have all the apps from a production device though, I will try to patch back all the bluetooth, framework and Google apps back to the emulator image and see how that behaves.

Will let you know how it goes!
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
Take your time Biktor and deep respect for you and your work.

I know for sure that you can get it to work.

Will a Gear Live update (once it arrives) be a better base for you ?
[Samsung Gear 2] emuandco:

How close are we to getting Marshmellow? For would I be able to install lollipop on the Gear 2 Neo, and be able to connect to a Nexus 6 running 6.1.1?
[Samsung Gear 2] Nitro1max1:
I should have clarified this, you can put on the latest version available for the watch and it will connect to your nexus. The watch is running lollipop, it doesn't matter what version of Android your phone is running.

Half booting, failing in different things... But bluetooth is up!

Aaaand it boots :)

So far working:

Display

Bluetooth

Sensors (no compass)

Vibrator

Screen always on

Not working:

Only boots tethered (like the preview I posted a week ago, I need to touch the init scripts)

No audio (missing some libs I think, I run out of battery on my laptop and too lazy to go for the charger ;) so not doing anything else today)

I had one kernel crash (binder kernel module)

Had 3 force closes (one from Google apps, two while setting up -acore and android wear)

Booting fine by itself (no need to do weird stuff)

No app force closes

Audio IN fixed

Audio OUT... Half working!

Enabled audio out support on the framework, and there are no more background crashes from the media player service!

When you get a call the watch vibrates and rings (unless you tell it otherwise) and alarms ring too.

Bluetooth HFP is NOT working yet, but it's good enough by now, until I get to see how they've done it in the Huawei, zenwatch & urbane 2.

New build when I get home!

[Samsung Gear 2] fernandogdl:
I think it will be based on the Gear Live updates sent to Biktor yesterday, that's why he has to figure out how did they made the bluetooth HFP in huawei and lg urbane 2 work
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
Gear Live, as always :)

If you think about it, this will be like the 4th watch to get the Marshmallow update!

By the way, the new version has Audio Feedback support, but it isn't working for me yet (ambient mode crashes when you enable it and I couldn't make it talk) maybe it only works on certain languages though

Bluetooth HFP is Bluetooth calling through gear 2?
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
This is 24 hours of work, there are a few things that don't work:

HFP: Not working. Settings are there but it drops an error. If you go the the Phone app on the watch it will ask you to enable it, but it won't turn on when you actually do a call. It can be kernel or bluetooth library (don't know yet)

IR: Haven't even pushed it yet

Compass: Incompatible with the Gear Live Kernel code (no easy fix, very hard fix, would need to reimplement the entire sensorhub stack)

Camera: Not working on it

Kernel Settings: Not pushed it yet, may need some changes -not sure yet-

MTP: Disabled on this build to ease debugging

Just checked: Wearmedia plays music perfectly fine! No pitched up audio! not crashing and skipping!

By the way, build is pre-rooted for your convenience ;)
[Samsung Gear 2] fernandogdl:
HFP describes how a gateway device can be used to place and receive calls for a hand-free device.

Sorry for bothering you. I know this is 24 hours of work. I was just asking something I didn't understand.
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
No worries, I wasn't writing it in a "bad" sense ;)

Don't let TWRP do it, it's rooted directly by default.prop, an 'adb shell' will drop you directly to a root shell

You really are the master Biktor!

Thank you so much for still supporting our Gear 2/Neo (although these watches still are one of the best, hardware wise).

Will you keep developing this new version untill more functions are working ?
[Samsung Gear 2] fernandogdl:
Hi all

I forgot my gera 2 neo in my house, so i can't flash now, whoever already flashed it can you please report on bugs and battery life?
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
Can someone upload the ROM to Mega please ? MediaFire is so damn slow over here :(
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
For this version, most of it is actually ready or easily fixed. In a couple of days, except bluetooth HFP which will take a bit longer depending on what I can find out, the rest is mostly configuration changes here and there and push some apps into place. I had zero crashes so far (since I fixed the audio, that is), and not hoping to see many problems (except for the blank Google Now screen, which also happens in my stock G Watch R).

For new versions (Android Wear 7+):

For as long as I can, yes. It all comes down to other people's work most of it:

Kminilte's display drivers are what make us see

HA3G's audio drivers is what make us hear

The rest is part mine, part Gear Live...

If my watch is still alive, I'll do my best, as always ;)

[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
Ok,got it. And the watch crashed just now. Something serious may just have happened. Logcat off, sorry. Any way to get it back?
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
I don't know what you mean... get back to what?

* If it's completely stuck keep pressing the power button for 10 secs and it will force it to reboot.

* If you mean get back to tizen just put it in odin mode and flash this

* If after flashing it it gets to the bootlogo but stays there you might need to reboot to the bootloader again and select "recovery" to force a factory reset

* If you got back to Tizen and it boots but the home screen doesn't show, and the Power menu shows with the text empty / with strange names, make a factory reset

By the way, github updated with the last kernel changes :)
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
Excellent! Updating my git fork right now! :D
[Samsung Gear 2] geri005:
You're right i've missed that part. Also, i'm just probably too eager to switch to Wear from Tizen. Didn't mean to rush you or anything.
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
Hey guys, someone with a Gear 2, root, and a bit of time can do me a favor?

I would need 2 dmesg logs, one from Tizen and another one from my android kernel.

To get it just need to do this:

Tizen:

Turn off the watch

Turn it on and connect it to PC

run (in a command line):

sdb root on

sdb shell dmesg > log_tizen_boot.log

Then flash the TWRP recovery and:

adb shell dmesg > log_android_boot.log

Post it here or at pastebin or wherever you want, I'd like to check how the camera stuff is going ;)

Thank you very much!
