[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
This is the third version for that. The watch still needs to get bluetooth speaker to work and that has been worked on for some time, but it very difficult. We just have to be patient until biktor_gj gets his personal time available to work on this more. You should read back a few pages to see what is happening with this development. :good:
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
Ok cool. I know biktor_gj has been having personal time and I don't blame him, People here can be savages. :rolleyes: I didn't even realize that was already available in Android wear since my gear 2 neo is going strong with the latest beta thanks to [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]. I read a few pages but didn't see any news of advancement or anything new so I thought I would ask. If I had known that the update to Android wear had already been implemented in previous builds, I wouldn't had asked. Thanks again to biktor for all his efforts in bringing life back to my neo. :svetius:
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I know battery life is very subjective, and I was forewarned that the latest beta was likely to see shorter life than the Sept ROM, but I'm only seeing ~10 hrs. Further, the battery stats in the wear app are no help (see attached). Is there some other way to see what's eating battery (something like GSam on the phone)?
[Samsung Gear 2] retroman957:
Do you think you could try porting android 2.0 to the gear 2 once the source code is released for it?

just wondering because i heard about AW 2.0 today and it looks awesome
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
1 - Do NOT quote the entire OP, please edit your post.

2 - This ROM is NOT ported from source, it is from another watch that may or may not get AW 2.0, most likely not.

3 - I knew these worthless posts would start because people do not read and understand how this port works, and they are greedy. I want. I want. I want.

You missed the very first sentence in the post you quoted. :(
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Yeah I don't think source code will help although it is available today to devs. Usually biktor_gj works off known images and tweaks drivers settings ect... porting is a little harder than just working with source. He may get around to it but I think he has a new love in his life and is focusing all his energy into that as he should. Congrats btw biktor_gj. Let's see if we can get the phone from wrist first and a few other minor bugs. As always thanks to biktor_gj for his excellent work on this port.

You may look into the bounty forum and put up some money for anyone who can successfully port it to the gear 2 money talks.
[Samsung Gear 2] dino-zor:
yeah, I think I heard some images for some watches are becoming available, but I have no expectations to have it immediately. We just got marshmallow, and even minus calling that's very satisfying. Obviously I would like calling to work, and to know that we could get 2.0 eventually, but biktor has done such great work that he deserves plenty of time off.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Get it here for two watches, neither of which are close to our Gear 2 or that have been used for this port.

https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html
[Samsung Gear 2] dino-zor:
yeah, knew it was the huawei, couldn't remember the other. was kinda hoping it was the zen2 haha. As nice as it has been having all watches get all updates, this will probably be the first update that breaks the trend. Still, I'd like to thinkthe zenwatch 2 will eventually get it, it isn't really much older than the huawei
[Samsung Gear 2] mlips821:
YOU ARE SO RIGHT [MENTION=4403217]Pkt_Lnt[/MENTION]
[MENTION=1358383]retroman[/MENTION], I would slow your roll about asking about porting Android 2.0, I'm sure your intentions were not bad, but it is questions / demands like that that make the developer feel people expect things of them rather than appreciate all you have up to this point. If Android Wear2.0 sounds that great which I am sure it will be, then I suggest buying a watch that it was made for rather then asking someone to take countless time from their personal life where people only praise the work they have done because someone made a demand and someone else put them in there place and you will see something like "I didn't mean to make a demand it was just a question but yea thanks biktor_gj for all you have done" rather than just saying thanks first and see and wait what the future holds from generous developers, AGAIN I AM SURE YOU HAD NO BAD INTENTIONS, but a lot of times around XDA a question IS SOMEONE MAKING A DEMAND ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE put A QUESTION MARK AT THE END OF IT.

Again I am suggesting and it's just that, don't get in the habit of asking for things that you yourself would not like if situations were reversed.. :good:

[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] I have started using my neo2 again thanks to this great ROM and my nexus6p great job mate....
[Samsung Gear 2] veriluxxxx:
I think the poor battery life is from the zenwatch version, in the gear live versions I had much battery life
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I switched back to the Red Lava face I had purchased, and turned off tilt to wake and increased my battery life to 14 hours yesterday. Now I just need to figure out if MapMyRun crashing is an app issue, a ROM issue, or an issue specific to my watch... I use MMR ALL the time.
[Samsung Gear 2] veriluxxxx:
I have tilt to wake and gestures off, 2 level - brightness setting, simple watch face with analog hands, and only get about 1.5 days. On an earlier version about 2-3 betas ago, I was getting about 3-4 days. My watch idle battery level has been hovering around 20-30% which I know isnt good
[Samsung Gear 2] pera987:
Mine is 10% over night, with Odyssey watch face tilt to wake on, gestures on, brightness on 5/6, no ambient screen on, day and a half.
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Don't see any issues with battery life on my side took the watch off charge at 6:30 this morning and I'm still at 80% as of 5:25 this evening. Given the use today has been low, but even when using heavily I would still be at 60% or so at this time

Check the usual suspects watch face, battery hog apps, always on screen, and excessive notifications ie google it would hit my watch every 10 min. Also if all this has been checked wouldn't hurt to flash tizen to fix partition structure as there could be something left behind from previous installs colliding with the new install causing functions to stay active when they should be asleep.
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I may give this a try, as I've never seen the battery life some have.

Also, how do I check for battery hogging apps when the only thing shown in that battery stats is "Watch idle"?

One last thing, could someone else confirm whether MapMyRun crashes on the watch within a few minutes of tracking a workout? I've tried restoring a previous version that worked on the September build, and it still crashes. I may get lucky and it work after the Tizen flash, but if it's just broken in the current build, I'll just go back to Lollipop until the next build. I use MapMyRun daily.
[Samsung Gear 2] SightlessRoot:
Battery life

I don't understand why all you have such [poor battery life, I get at least a week (heavy notifications, constant use of speaker, screen completely disabled, I have no idea watch face I have, voice commands used all the time, with apps like ES file explorer, google keyboard and chrome running in the background)
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
A week? Don't know what battery or device you have but not possible the math doesn't back your claim. You must either have a different battery or are trying to be sarcastic which is difficult to do through text.

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------

The only way I've found that is easy is to load the stock rom use a bare bones watch face ie android basic and load one app/watch face at a time and test for at least one day/charge should help determine the batt sucker.
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
OK. Next question, I know I saw instructions, but I can't find them now, how do I remove apps from the watch that I don't need? I have a ton of apps on my phone that are Wear compatible, but that I never use on my watch. Can I prevent the Wear app from transferring those apps entirely, or freeze them so that, while installed, the watch doesn't see them (like Titanium Backup w/ a temp root on a phone)?

EDIT:

Nvm:

pm uninstall <package name> for apps w/ Wear component

and

adb remount +rw /system

adb shell rm /system/app/<app name>/<app name>.apk for system apps (went easy on this one, just nuked Asus Wellness and ClockWorkPhotosWatchface)

It would be peachy to have a safe to remove list. Guess I could be the guy to remove crap until it breaks and keep track!

EDIT 2:

Removed 4 system apps so far, and still seems stable. Obviously, if you're using one of these, or something depends upon it, it'll break.

/system/app/AsusWellness/AsusWellness.apk

/system/app/ClockworkPhotosWatchFace/ClockworkPhotosWatchFace.apk

/system/app/org.esolutions.irremote-1/base.apk <- Yeah, I used the IR blaster ONCE like a month after I got the watch, almost 2 years before the AW port was realized.

/system/priv-app/AsusWatchManagerWear/AsusWatchManagerWear.apk

Also, happy to report that MapMyRun is functioning for me now. Who knows if it was a conflict (Wellness maybe?) or something fixed by reflashing Tizen.
[Samsung Gear 2] pera987:
Can you make small tutorial of commands for uninstaling wellness, weather?
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I was thinking while I was on my run yesterday that a safer way to remove something is to rename it. Then, if it doesn't boot, you can restore the file via recovery.

If you're not up on your Linux command fu, renaming would be accomplished by replacing:

adb shell rm /system/app/AsusWellness/AsusWellness.apk

with

adb shell mv /system/app/AsusWellness/AsusWellness.apk /system/app/AsusWellness/AsusWellness.apk.bak

You can also just use

adb shell

So you have a shell running directly to the watch so you have access to tab completion, etc. But, I'm sure you all knew that!

One last update, something I removed (AsusWatchManager, maybe?) has removed the unique charging face. Again, I don't care. 1) I typically recharge overnight w/ the watch in theater mode 2) my regular watch face still shows just like it always has.
[Samsung Gear 2] crime_of_heart:
Which version you are using?

I was also having 5 days battery life with the 5.1 versions. With 6, best I can get is 3 complete days and a bit more (touch wake off, gestures off with bits watchface)
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Wow.... best I ever got out of the Sept release was ~14 hours
[Samsung Gear 2] SightlessRoot:
definitely a week... minimum 5 days

Biktor has become a father

Hi fellow forum member,

It came to my attention that [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] has become a father of a beautiful girl and so he spends his time now fully to her.

See this post for a nice picture : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66718690&postcount=429

I think it will be nice for us to donate a little money to him for some daipers :)

And show him our appreciation for developing our devices.

Did anybody see this video

on the gear 1 there is one rom that has a camera, but we can`t put that rom on gear 2 right?

That is Android, not Android Wear. Android Wear does not have official support for cameras, but Android does

No, The Gear 1 has a full version of Android installed (Null_23 rom, Android 4.1.1 I believe).

The Gear 2 has an Android WEAR port which is something totally different and cannot be put on the Gear 1

Trust me, I used to have a Gear 1 and it was great.....but the Gear 2 with Android Wear is even more fantastic !

where can I change the alarme notification sounds???

[Samsung Gear 2] librapt:
Probably an already answered question, but will Samsung Gear Manager and S Health work with the Android Wear installed?
[Samsung Gear 2] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Don't know why you'd need Gear Manager anymore, unless you have other Gear watches. You'll need the Android Wear app to reconnect to the watch. As for S-health, the phone side of things will still work (food logging, steps using phone's accelerometer, etc), but, last I knew, S-health did not have a Wear component for watch functionality (Disclaimer: I haven't used S-health since I discovered MyFitnessPal for nutrition logging and MapMyFitness for workouts).
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
Ok, so I do my due diligence before asking this question, but has the ability to make/answer calls on the watch been added to this ROM? I saw in the OP that it wasnt a working feature, but I saw that some folks had been working on it. Any news on that?
[Samsung Gear 2] daroota:
You can "answer calls" but not talk using the watch. He's still working on that.

Im going to go port back to the Beta #2 (Gear Live based): https://mega.nz/#!IExADLQC!HThMj1Sc_...aXiaW-5a5_CHuM

my battery life is doing horribly and if the beta #2 doesnt work well im going back to Tizen

I want to thank Biktor for all of his hard work but right now I just need something more stable as this is my daily watch

good luck with the further updates and hope to return once the port is fully functional/operational
[Samsung Gear 2] xt926:
What build are u on now? I've been getting 2 days of life on a charge with latest build and I haven't tweaked anything.
[Samsung Gear 2] Wilsonb:
Specifically, what is the latest build. Is it the one listed in the begging/ front or was it released in the forum somewhere?

Sometimes this happens with software in forums and it's frustrating.
[Samsung Gear 2] gingerdude:
I'm also getting 2 days with screen off and gestures on.
[Samsung Gear 2] veriluxxxx:
I was on the latest build (March 4, 2016: https://mega.nz/#!QQwXQKCD!U-y82wTuB...GWtEXMZ6TPikQU) and was getting about 2 days or less with everything off and simple watchface.

Since I went back to beta #2 (https://mega.nz/#!IExADLQC!HThMj1Sc_...aXiaW-5a5_CHuM) I'm getting 3-4 days. I think the gear live based beta works better with my watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] gingerdude:
Huh that's impressive, but I'm so conditioned to charging gadgets these days I'm honestly not fussed as long as it can take a full day of beast mode :)

Either way these ports have given new life to forgotten tech, so we're all grateful for that.

hi, after updating my gear neo 2 to Android Wear Android Wear 5.1.1 and 6, the connection with the Bluetooth, only works by putting the watch attached to the phone. what can I do? thank you
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
I installed the android wear march 4th release last week and all was well for several days (minor niggles here and there, but overall satisfactory) and i have been getting "unfortunately google play services have stopped" all morning. It was doing it before i left for work, so i re-doin flashed it, and it seemed ok for a bit. I wont be able to get to odin until after work, but anyone have any thoughts on this?

nevermind, i went into twrp and wiped internal storage and rebooted, its not doing it anymore, but i cant see the watch in the androidwear app now :/
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
ok, so now after a factory reset in twrp, my phone cant see the watch in the android wear app nor in bluetooth settings. Do i need to reflash the rom in odin?

edit: so, 3 different android devices cant see the watch in bluetooth settings, so it seems like its gotta be the watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] Scheggia214:
I've same problem...
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
im at work and dont have a way to flash the tar.md5 until i get home (about 5 hours from now). Can you flash the tar.md5 for the march 4th release and see if it works after that? Its possible that the watch doesnt like factory resets via twrp
[Samsung Gear 2] Scheggia214:
It's same. I've flash all roms, but the gear connect with only up my phone. If I walk away , it loses connection.

[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
I flashed the march 4th release in Odin and it powered off after flashing. I had to manually power it up, no biggie. It instantly gave the watch id that it was going to show in the android wear app, but didn't show on the phone. Rebooted the phone and all is well.

A wipe data in recovery wipes the data, forgetting any pairing you previously had. But you also need to delete the device in Android Wear app on the phone to be able to repair
