[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGreatWaldopepper:
Did you return it in the end?

After several frustrating emails with ASUS support in which they replied with general info on how the Always on-screen setting can be set, then asked me what build number I had even though I told them this in the first place, they concluded it must be a hardware problem.

"Taking in consideration that you have both the settings enabled on your watch as on your connected device and you are using the latest firmware, I also believe this is being cause by a hardware fault. Please return the ZenWatch back to your reseller."

So I took the plunge and exchanged it for the second time with suspicious staff at the shop (it was past their 21 day return policy cut-off, so I had to order another, then swap the new one for mine, on their system they refunded the new one). Hey presto, the new one works fine!

This one shipped with: 4.4w.2, KNX01W, updated to: 5.0.1, LWX48S.

So overall sounds like perhaps just a hardware issue. I know it's a new product but it's lucky I like the look of the watch so much that I'm tolerating quite a few teething problems. The one I have now has a very slight ridge on the right hand side of the screen where it meets the metal frame, which you can feel when swiping right. Hopefully I'm just being overly-fussy now and I won't notice after a while, but it's not as smooth as my previous two watches. On the left of the screen it's completely flush.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chewie01:
I went to take mine back last week only to be told by PC World that this product can only be bought on-line and I would have to buy another one and then return the first for a refund. Which is a bit of a scam to me as the replacement was at a higher price than the first one I bought from Heathrow Duty Free.

I am due to collect the replacement and have an argument about the price difference tomorrow so finger crossed I get a working one as well.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGreatWaldopepper:
Ha, mine was from PC World too. I guess it's not their fault that your original one was bought duty free & therefore cheaper, but really if it's faulty they should treat it as such. They did offer me the option of booking it in as faulty, then it would have been sent off to ASUS and in all probability replaced with a new one anyways, but he didn't know how long this would take. So I just took the other option of buying another, having it delivered to the store the next day then swapping & refunding the latest transaction.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chewie01:
Well the good news is I now have the replacement watch and it works as advertised. I did have to complain a lot to get the difference in price resolved. I ended up complaining so much that the store manager gave me the money out of his own pocket just to get rid of me :D.

Need to be on a stock or stock based rom!
[Verizon LG G3] skiman10:
Darn I was like MULTIROM!!!!! I'll test!!! Then you said stock or stock based ROM, I'm not on one of those, I'm on VanirAOSP. So if you need a tester for someone on AOSP, I'm open for it.

I'm on skydragon 2.01 with 12b but do a cm12 nightly every so often to see where their at. I've tried Jasmine, cm11 and a few others. With the 24gb internal this should be fun. (safestrap only allowed use of internal memory and I'm assuming the same here)

[Verizon LG G3] wwevoxnj:
I know that multirom needs stock Rom and kernel for the primary Rom but can you have aosp as secondary?

[Verizon LG G3] dabug123:
Anyone tried because rin has an aosp patched kernel
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
awesome job

Please note internal rom refers to your rom in emmc.

whats not working

using skydragon1 12b and above kernel as internal rom.

What is is working

using jasmine4.0.zip 12b as internal rom and above kernel with a fresh install.

make sure to disable screen timeout in twrp

Note: if you should get the green screen of death during your testing follow instructions and press vol-down for reboot and then in the next menu vol-down a few times to select "factory reset" since your system has been bumped it will not factory reset but instead bring you back into twrp. (atleast thats what i did)

I was able to install the following as mulitboot images from zip files.

cm11

cm12

what else is not working

I was not able to import a twrp backup into multirom. I tried with a jasmine 4.0 and cm12 backup and both failed.

I was not able to install jasmine4.0.zip as an image(while installing there was a message saying the the jasmin40.zip was being modified and could no longer be used as a regular install zip but only as a multi-image install zip please take note of this and remember which zips you touch with this install)

I was not able to perform a backup of my internal rom, it would "green screen" For now if you wish to make a backup snapshot of your internal rom I recommend backing up recovery then restoring twrp2.8.3 and performing your backup of internal rom then restoring multi recovery.img. if you everr wish to restore.

it took less than 2 minutes to download, install and boot into cm12. crazy fast

all I can say is thank you and awesome. I look forward to trying more and will update as necessary.

My guess is the multirom zip was not bumped

So booting on aosp here is how to do it..make sure you have rin as your kernel running aosp..reboot into recovery,flash theme,reboot recovery,flash multirom zip,then flash rin kernel again only because multi ROM zip my guess is not bumped..reboot system u have multi boot with aosp as primary.
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:

one thing I did notice is that the secondary roms cannot see 5ghz wireless networks, just 2.4ghz networks.

I had a question:

If Booted in internal rom, where are the files for the secondary roms stored? when I use es file explorer I open /sdcard/multirom but there is nothing in there but the folder is identified as a different folder type. can only guess it's symlinked elsewhere I cant find

what is the path to where secondary OS files are stored?
[Verizon LG G3] drewski_1:
I'm guessing that the TWRP version needs tobe updated to incorporate Tassadar's latest fixes

These are the recovery change-log from the N7 2013 Multirom thread. The timing of 1/14 & 1/15 looks right for when the AOSP secondaries stopped working and many ROMs use CM12 as a base.

[MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION] possible?

Skin will have to port the newer multirom with these new commits that fix it, so we are waiting unless there's a newer version I missed.
[Verizon LG G3] drewski_1:
So I was digging around in the 855 Multirom thread and it turns out the TWRP commits aren't the main issue. The issue with the Kernel Panic is CM12 changed their Kernel compression (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58533693&postcount=921) which is not compatible wtih Multirom Secondary

The fix is to use a different kernel such as 777 (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-777-kernel-t3003115)

Flashing on Primary ROM is quick, but flashing on Secondary takes almost 10 minutes and your phone get's SUPER HOT. The second time I did this the flash aborted with a Green screen which looked like a thermal shutdown. I flashed it successfully after directing a fan on my phone during the flashing process to keep the thermals in check :eek:

Workaround to avoid this is to get a boot.img with the 3rd party Kernel and add this to your Secondary in Multirom instead of flashing the Kernel Zip

. This takes seconds instead of minutes and no risk of thermal meltdown ;)

Thing is the way lot's of Kernel zips work (including the 777 kernel I linked above) is that they don't have a full boot.img to directly extract so . . .

Workaround for the workaround to get a working boot.img is to extract from a ROM you've installed it on

Install an AOSP ROM as Primary

Flash 3rd party kernel

Nandroid just the Boot partition

Extract boot.emmc.win out of the Nandroid you just created

Rename this to boot.img

After flashing your Secondary ROM go to it in Multirom menu

Select Remove boot.img

Select Add boot.img and choose the extracted Kernel

Reboot

Profit

If you were like me and and successfully installed 3rd party kernel on your Secondary, you can skip Steps 1 - 2 and just Nandroid your Secondary ROM's Boot Partition and extract and create the boot.img file and avoid hacking a phone cooling system for future ROM installs.

I tried this on the latest Liquid Smooth and Paranoid builds & 777 Kernel.

Disclaimer: YMMV with other ROMs/ kernels
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
good find.

although placing a fan on the phone may trick the temp sensor from shut down, It may allow the center core to achieve higher than normal temperatures. If i were to choose I would select not to overheat and use a fan.
[Verizon LG G3] drewski_1:
It's only flashing the Kernel ZIP on a Secondary that takes forever and heats things up dangerously.

Flashing & Extracting kernel on the Primary ROM and then pushing the Boot.IMG will avoid the overheating.
