[Samsung Gear 2] Jmbartho:
I'm currently rebooting my watch every 2 hours or so because of the Android wear f/c issue. I'm on the Aaaalight build.

I've used several builds, and I've been following the thread since January. I Love the port, biktor.
[Samsung Gear 2] shash222:
I faced the same issue a while ago but was able to fix it by wiping cache and dalvik cache in twrp
[Samsung Gear 2] Jmbartho:
Thanks for the tip. I usually wipe everything with every flash, tho.

Google just updated again on my phone? I'm hoping that Google play services didn't update in such a way to break the latest. If it works better, you won't hear from me. If it's busted, I'll wipe, test and give you results.

Thanks as always biktor.
[Samsung Gear 2] HSishi:
This one works fine for me. No troubles except those which were posted so far.

But am I wrong or was there a later build which was not linked?

//HSishi
[Samsung Gear 2] Jaitsu:
So, when Odin-flashing that new version Biktor linked, during the flash, the screen read "INVALID SIGNATURE: BOOT". When it rebooted after that, it went straight to recovery, then after a Factory Reset it got stuck on the boot animation, then after another reboot it seems to have booted normally. Do I have anything to worry about, or is that normal?
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Everyone needs to check out feel the wear app. I've been having nothing but issues out of smart wear notification's for sounds seems to be getting buggier with each release. Feel the wear works great when you mute the watch from the pull down menu it mutes all sounds no opening app on the watch or phone to mute the volume is tied to the alarms sound bar so volume can be controlled from the watch. It allows true custom vibration patterns. Also has some Tasker features tucked into it as well. The only two things missing is custom sounds which are going to be added and read aloud which to me are not needed and who cares if they are there but dont work. Give it a spin everyone. No longer is there only one app out there. Also the deve responds as well when emailed. Also to boot he just had a little one like the legend Biktor (thanks again for the new build).
[Samsung Gear 2] paumove:
I have a new Gear 2 Neo and I want to load Android Wear, which version do you recommend to load, v5.1.1 or v6?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Always use the latest version, unless problems reported.
[Samsung Gear 2] paumove:
Ok thanks, version in post #3430 is the lastest?
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
I believe so..read recent posts and study the op before flashing. Good luck.
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
im still on the march release. works great for me!
[Samsung Gear 2] justexpect:
No new release since March?
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
Yes there is.

Read back pls

The only thing I have run into with the July release is the heart rate light comes on and stays on.

After July update, I tried putting it through its paces, so I opened up Fit and measured my heart rate (it never could resolve, so I gave up as it's not a big deal). A couple hours later, I noticed the light was still on, so I rebooted and it went away. Just now, the light was on again (wasn't on when I put it back on after my shower this morning). I had not opened Fit or any other app that I know of that would use it. Rebooted again and it went away.

Not a huge nuisance, but I figured I would share.

Thank you.

Just installed the latest fw.

How long does syncing take? (normaly)
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
Daily instantaneous, then the apps take about ten minutes.

Moving on

So, I'm sorry to tell you this, guys, but the day has finally come.

Some months ago, I started having some issues with my Gear Neo. I would flash anything, and the watch would stop flashing midway dropping a "failed" message on Odin, or wouldn't boot after flashing. After a lot of trying, I finally was able to bring it back to life, but sometimes, the watch would still randomly reboot, show random force closes, and sudden battery drains. The reason for this is that the flash chip in my watch was slowly dying and corrupting the data inside. Those problems have only gone worse, to the point where it can't stay running for more than a minute without dying. I've been testing it over and over again and the result is always the same: I can zero out an entire partition, and read it back and see that some parts get zeroed, and some others read 4, 6, or random characters. That and the kernel dropping I/O errors all the time in dmesg show what that means: after more than a thousand kernels and systems flashed, the flash chip finally gave up.

I've thought of getting another one to replace it, but my life has changed dramatically and I don't have much time to work on anything lately, and if I were to buy another watch, I think money would be better spent in something newer after all.

I started this project 20 months ago, with no idea on how to make Android run, a very limited set of skills, and without knowing if I'd ever get anything running in the watch. Finally we ended up with a mostly complete Android Wear experience, iterating through 3 major Wear versions on a watch which was never designed to run it, and with an amazing community helping each other with all issues that have arised through time.

It's been really fun working on this, and I'm really, deeply thankful for each and every person in this forum which has participated in any way with this project, either making videos, reporting issues or just helping others.

So, to everyone, since I can't mention the more than 500 persons I was mentioning in this post, THANK YOU, I really hope we'll meet again in another project!

I'll be in the Gear S forum trying to make this damned, horribly programmed, and full of issues watch behave :)
[Samsung Gear 2] Penguin_be:
Sh!t happens ;)

THANK YOU for porting our gear to Android!
[Samsung Gear 2] Broomfundel:
Thank you for your time and hard work.
[Samsung Gear 2] careingemt:
Thanks for all the work you have done to make our watch great
[Samsung Gear 2] WerWolv:
Thank you [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]! You really did an amazing job on porting! I would have thrown out my watch a long time ago without you!

But as you released all your Sourcecode on Github, maybe I'll take a look at it sometimes ^^
[Samsung Gear 2] garrettoliveros:
Thanks! You did amazing work.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Thank you Biktor, it has been an amazing ride!
[Samsung Gear 2] Lilchampsean:
Thank you Biktor, you will forever be the greatest person to make me break a warranty. I have been nothing but pleased with your work and wish you nothing but the best in your ventures!
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]

You're an awesome person and also an awesome dev! :)

Thanks for all your efforts and work with this watch. Oh, and please let us know which will be your next move, so I can advance myself to purchase the next watch to follow you :)

PS: Any farewell build?! :D :p
[Samsung Gear 2] alvaromartinezb:
Thank you very much [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] , you have made what Samsung was unable to do in the first place and you saved our watch from obsolescence.

I'll try to follow your steps and keep updating(pay attention to the word TRY!) although I'm not sure if I'll be able to fill your shoes. Thank you!
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
I also want to thank you Biktor for your amazing work on our smartwatches.

You truly are a great dev, which brought amazing capabilities to our watch.

What would you suggest as a replacement for the Gear 2, from a dev perspective? Ticwatch 2 maybe?

I really like AW and would like to see future updates with best hardware specs on a watch.

[Samsung Gear 2] shash222:
Thanks a lot

I was given the gear 2 neo by a friend of mine that switched over to iPhone, therefore was unable to use the watch anymore (as far as he knew ;)) and had it just sitting in his drawer collecting dust. I had the galaxy avant, before it got stolen, and switched over to the Nexus 6 before he gave me the watch. I couldn't use the watch natively, and upon scouring the internet, I found this article. A watch that had been collecting dust for over a year was finally being reused, and I thank you for that [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]. It is sad to know that you will be moving on, but we all appreciate the work and effort you put into this project.

I was wondering if any other skilled developers that own a gear 2/neo could please continue where biktor left off, and try fixing the issues regarding the sound and calling through the device. I have no developing skills whatsoever, so will not be able to help with the patchwork, but I know that we will all be greatful to you too.

Because I have no knowledge at all at android development, I want to learn how to do a port like this. [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] or anyone else, could you point me in the right direction? What languages do I need to learn? Are there any articles/tutorials that can guide me, and do something like biktor has? Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Well your more than welcome [MENTION=473725]BIT[/MENTION]kor_bj. It was a great run. And recently my watch band broke and not looking to spent even 12 dollars for a new one. As I'm moving to an official android wear watch by september. Timing is impeccable. Good luck on your next journey project.

$oul€$$ D€m0n!
[Samsung Gear 2] Tony_Starkus:
Thank you for you work. You work is the "why" i don't sold my watch.

I used to dev a rom with my friends for the Galaxy Y, i was the designer and i learn somethings. I want to try continue this project, but not alone. Anyone here know about development ?!
[Samsung Gear 2] keydon:
Thank you for saving my watch from early retirement!
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
I'm planning to write (when I get a little more time ;)) some technical posts on how I work with these watches, peculiarities, where to start debugging, and how to patch official images (and where to scavenge newer proprietary blobs whenever a new Android version is released)

I would post my development image, but there's no way I can clean up all my work stuff & private keys for everything, and there's nowhere to dump 800Gb image anywhere, so I will do my best to explain everything I can and to help you guys keep the watch alive as long as you can :)
[Samsung Gear 2] stephane.papin:
Thank you very much biktor_gj

Flash my watch yesterday with new rom, working very well

Small issue with Asys zenwatch GUI : Modify setting not sent to watch :(
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
Thanks [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] we truly love you! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: You're the best dev ever and a wonderful person! God bless you and you family always! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
[Samsung Gear 2] csosbee:
First of all, thanks for all you have done for this watch! Excellent work! Any technical posts you could make would be very helpful. I'm not promising anything at all, but I've toyed with Android in the past and would be willing to take a stab at it.
[Samsung Gear 2] huhu1030:
I just finished my bachelor degree of computer science and I have a pretty big knowledge of Android development. I don't know if the development is the same, but I would be a pleasure to learn and help :)

[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
Really thanks Biktor. Your work on saving this dying watch is really impressive.
[Samsung Gear 2] TechNyne66:
Android Wear had an update for sound support, as well as other update support.
[Samsung Gear 2] BaXo95:
I confirm the bug someone reported... "Ok Google" function stops to work, together with microphone in general, after a while the watch is on. The issue disappears when rebooting the watch, but after about 10 minutes, it occurs again! :(

Anyone has a fix for it?
[Samsung Gear 2] dino-zor:
Hey, for the last several days, and probably much longer than that, I have been unable to get the "mute phone calls and notifications" option to work at all. I assume it is connected to the bug for all watches, but usually that is fixed by toggling the switch in the android wear app settings, but currently that does nothing. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced that with their gear 2 or neo, though it also could be related to my phone.
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
do you guys know where the list of apps that are allowed to send notif to the watch is? im getting call notifs but not texts nor facebook messenger
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
The Wear app on your phone. Settings (the gear icon), "Block app notifications"
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
[/COLOR]

yeah, i looked there and the only thing in that list is the "s planner" app
[Samsung Gear 2] HSishi:
The Android Wear app on your phone needs permission to read notifications. That setting is in Device security - Other security settings - Notification access.

The steps might have slightly different namings, my phone is set to "German" but the german 'path' won't help you :) .
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
thanks! i looked there and it says that it has permission :/ well, the off/on switch is set to on factory reset it is then LoL

factory reset, repaied and its working now
[Samsung Gear 2] Laurencito:
Installed a few days ago and really enjoying this latest version. Many thanks for all the hard work
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
I really like this build, but I have not been able to get a full day's use from this latest version. My settings have been the same from day 1 of this wonderful thread, brightness set to 3, gestures on, notifications on, always on (ambient).

Has anybody been able to get decent battery life on this last version? If so, what settings did you use. I'm considering going back to the last version before this one.
[Samsung Gear 2] AthlonGFX:
Sorry to be a noob but do I just flash this with Odin and pray for the best or do I need to root and do some other sort of Voodoo magic
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Read and watch the video in the OP.
[Samsung Gear 2] AthlonGFX:
Thank you <3
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
With screen always ON you can't really last a full day (or a mini day) it drain at least 6/7% by hour with a little little use

For me a minimal day can last 18H so at 6% you can't. But if you have a little day with 14H maybe....

The Gear2 was not made to stay ON.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
It lasted much longer, however, on the prior Huawi port.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Huawei?! If you look at post 1, all ports were Gear Live or Zenwatch! :confused:
[Samsung Gear 2] Laurencito:
Been using it for a few days, charged last night and tonight before I go to bed it says 70%. So good battery life and I have been using it. I did replace the battery a few months ago. Settings - always on display is off. thats about the only thing I've changed.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Sorry, I meant ZenWatch. The last port before this one. Isn't that Huawai?
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
No. I have a Huawei and it is so different, like a Volkswagen and a Ferrari. I doubt you could port the Huawei to the Gear 2, seriously.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
That didn't matter, I was referring to the ZenWatch port. Not interested in Huwai, do they make a watch? [emoji6] .
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Just answering your question if the port before last one was Huawei, answer is no.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Sorry, I didn't want to come off as rude. I just didn't remember who made the ZenWatch, in fact I forgot the name. But It was my favorite port.
[Samsung Gear 2] AthlonGFX:
So I watched the video and did everything they did but it's just stuck on the Samsung Gear 2 splash screen, any advice

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

Also I can not get into recovery as he does in this video

I have tried this ROM and the one that the guy shows in his video

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

Forget my post, fixed it myself by flashing the recovery, cant believe I forgot about it like a noob lord XD

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Ok now when I do a factory reset in recovery I get E:Unable to mount '/cache'

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

Ok so I've gotten android wear to work but then I installed a different version but I cant wipe the watch because of my issue so now everything just crashes, how can I force wipe it?
[Samsung Gear 2] alvaromartinezb:
Restore back to Tizen(instructions available in the first post) so that your partitions get fixed. Then flash AW again
[Samsung Gear 2] alenko123:
I am using this watch when i go RUNING and use it as MP3 player to my BT Headset, with this ROM(android wear) is possible so i can play music directly on watch to BT Headset?
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
Yes it is a wear feature.
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
I didn't think you could, along with the voice from phone calls
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
You can pair a headset in BT setting and wear can play mp3 file since a long time. Google Play Music app has a feature to send mp3 file in the wear device. I use "Wear media" to play music but there are few others apps wich did the same.
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
Oh, right on then :)
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
I flashed back to the prior Asus ZenWatch release. Now I'm getting 16 hours plus the last 2 days, where on the latest release it did not make it through the evening. Now I can keep my screen on all day and recharge after midnight with 20 percent battery left. Also, I like the watch and charging interfaces much more with this version.
[Samsung Gear 2] marKyAn:
my gear 2 suddenly can't connect to my phone.. i already wipe cache/data but now my gear 2 bluetooth seem to off.. android wear app can't detect it.. can anyone know how to solve this problem.. i also have already made tizen full restore & flash back to android wear but still no response from my gear 2..
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Do a factory reset on the watch and unpair the phone in Gear manager. Then reeboot and pair both devices. No need to restore tizen. If you did you need to start from scratch.
[Samsung Gear 2] mikle_01:
Which ROM do you took!?
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
The Beta #3 (ZenWatch bases). See OP.
[Samsung Gear 2] Urufu:
New release?

When the new release of porting for call directly on smartwatch?thanks biktor
[Samsung Gear 2] daroota:
There won't be any from biktor, his watch has died and he's moved on he said.

Read back a few pages. Around August 7th I think.
[Samsung Gear 2] KingP1n:
Wld he take a new a watch by donation?
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
Now, that's a cool gesture!!
[Samsung Gear 2] Urufu:
Donation for biktor

Yeahhhhh please share a donation for biktor....new watch and new releaseeeeee
[Samsung Gear 2] KingP1n:
Unless he's moving to bigger and better things...Biktor what are ur thoughts?
[Samsung Gear 2] gingerdude:
I'm sure he said that it wasn't only the watch dying but with his new family commitments he doesn't have the time for both.

think that's what he said.
[Samsung Gear 2] Youdoofus:
Come on!! We all know that supporting XDA takes precedence over family!!! Jk jk jk :) I really appreciated his work and commitment to this project, and sad as it may be to see him go, if he has stuff to take care of at home, I wish him all the best!
[Samsung Gear 2] Nick1602:
Well again I'm going to ask, because I can? put my alarms play sound

How I put sound on my alarms and notifications?

[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
I tried to remove the checkiin service, but the home shell is dependant on it and crashed... Ii also pushed trebuchet and loaded it, but it stays on background....

About ADB... no idea, I saw the app, but Im not even sure if it would work because wear uses a transparent proxy for net access and looks a little obscure

I'm scared that all bluetooth stuff could come from a IPC kernel module that exists on the sprat kernel, I hope we wont need that. Still looking to patch the broadcom board file, and now that Im at it, I started with power management fixes (first of a looong list to come)

So far I have beautiful crashes ;)

Btw, does anyone know how bnep works on gear live without kernel support?

Been searching for documentation about bluedroid, but except for a tiny little intro in source.android.com I cant find much, except for people cpmplaining about ditching Bluez stack (if we still had that bluetooth would be fine, its what tizen uses)
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffc83:
It was worth a shot trying to remove the checkin service but I didn't have confidence in that theory. I too hope there aren't too many dependencies....fingers crossed!

[Samsung Gear 2] xxboarderxx:
Great work so far guys.

I definitely appreciate how much information is going back and forth but I'm positive the majority of the community (like me) here has very little knowledge of what is going on but is at the edge of our seats waiting for the alpha product to drop. A simple suggestion for the sake of efficiency and speed is that perhaps the key developers on this project should link up using some type of instant messaging program so you guys can communicate instantly. For us peons, we would definitely appreciate a daily update or two and it would also help keep this thread efficient as well.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for everything that you guys are doing. I am waiting with bated breath...

X
[Samsung Gear 2] xxboarderxx:
That's a good point that I didn't consider...but it just goes to show how much stuff I just sift through cause i have no clue...
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
This not " playing around " but I am surprised to see that Android Wear is running a app I had written for standard Android.

Missing keyboard.

EDIT: so no worries for Camera App.
[Samsung Gear 2] kavinzhao:
You guys can use PM for that.
