At this stage, it is normal for tapping on the screen not to wake the watch, correct?
[Samsung Gear S] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I believe so and I prefer it. In tizen, my watch would unlock itself and cuff dial/text/delete picture/etc from the cuff of my jacket.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Yes, when the screen sleeps, the touchscreen sleeps too. I'm trying to repair the ALPM mode first so we can get the screen always on function, and I'll take care of the touchscreen too. Then come the sensors.

It's hard to keep balance between two watches, life & work at times :)
[Samsung Gear S] primod808:
hi biktor sorry for the late response busy with work but do you have an email address i would like to send you 2 log attachments 1mg each one before and after last kmsg logs. Let me know if that's okay. I tried pastebin.com but half the log was cut off and does not show the entire log.

thanks again.
[Samsung Gear S] andrewia:
It's totally amazing you've made a closed source operating system run on a watch designed for another completely different operating system, and I can't imagine all the work you've put in. We understand this is a hobby project, so feel free to take breaks! We'll be here to cheer you on and help you out, whenever you need it.
[Samsung Gear S] SweetBearCub:
biktor_gj, I too applaud your progress.

As interesting as Android Wear might be, I am waiting for the day when we have FULL android on our Gear S watches, with everything working. Lollipop, Marshmallow, whatever!
[Samsung Gear S] lachywallace:
Running AW for 2 days now.. incredible!! Everything works! No reboots! Its brilliant! Cant wait till the display is fixed and the sensors ^_^ other than that notifications, calls and even google now works :) another thing that probally needs to be fixed is battery life... my watch just drains before the end of the day... other than that its brilliant! Thanks biktor ^_^
[Samsung Gear S] chiikko561:
I too prefer full android as I tried away today and after decided go back to tien for a while and use Bluetooth. To be honest Bluetooth has never been a factor until I started having phone calls on my speaker of my watch all the time.
[Samsung Gear S] wornbat:
Thank you biktor_gi for all your hard work on AW i have been running it for the past few days battery life is not bad. Cant turn on wifi or 3g but most eveything works well. Managed to get CW working well i would run it full time but battery life is sub 5 hours. Made much improvements limiting cpu with extreme. Battery saving mode with cpu apps sill want to run full CW as apps are better. Thanks keep the improvements comming.
[Samsung Gear S] -LBT-:
No, you are not, as I got the same thing today - it wouldn't connect in the morning when I powered it back on. It was still disconnected after two hours. I ended up re-pairing it to my phone.
[Samsung Gear S] smeagle1:
Yes, I agree. I'm a total noob and waiting for full android on Gear S so I only have to do it once. LOL.
[Samsung Gear S] johney23:
Seriously. After one and half year after i spent half paycheck for this awesome future gadget and realized that it cannot be connected to my cheap samsung phone,i left it for half year in cradle. Now after all i see facebook notifications and can control my music from my wrist. Full droid is cool and geeky but unusable. All ehat you want is in your phone. So finally biktor you made my life even sweeter. About reconnecting from app : it disconnects when you install some new apps. Then i wipe. Connect it again and all apps with those new ones installs there automactically. Keep goind biktor. You are my favorite people :)
[Samsung Gear S] initguru:
What an awesome project

This is unbelievable, my useless tizen Gear S transformed to very useful Android Watch!

At first I had put AW system image and had a reboot problem but I did not aware that I should have change some settings as biktor_gj said.

Now I'm fully satisfied with his amazing work. Thanks! :)
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
Been running AW on my replacement watch for the past 4 hours...so far...so good! Haven't done much testing with it, but tried dictating a text, and it wouldn't do speech recognition (guessing it's related to the HFP server not working.)
[Samsung Gear S] hakim2016:
please can you upload CM_Build40.zip on other site i have probleme with mediafire.com

and if you can helpe me i want to record on gear s sound more than 4 houres how can i do it

thanks a lot
[Samsung Gear S] shbekar:
Lollipop 5.1.1

Normally (because I have to use double SIM) I was almost obliged to wait for the last version of lollipop from Biktor_gj (thanks to him for all his hard work)

What I did:

I flashed CM40 to my Gear S but DID NOT FLASH GOOGLE APPS

Here is what happened:

Battery time is super. More than 12 hours.

Contacts wasn't able to syncronise but I carried the contacts file myself and loaded persons at my Gear S

For a Gear S I now have just one problem and it is bluetooth voice connection for calls.

Lastly, only copying and installing Goople Play won't work. (What to do?) (Certainly without installing Google apps)

Thank you all...
[Samsung Gear S] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Build :40 is an older build, see this post for Biktor's newest Android build.
[Samsung Gear S] satree:
thanks and some help please

I would like to thank everyone that have been keeping this alive over the years. And a big thank you to biktor_gj for giving people more opposition with the amazing gear s. I just ported android on to my gear and like what I see. I would however like to port the android wear to it as I am having trouble using the wifi and bluetooth. Is it possible for anyone to please give me step by step instruction as I am really less than a novice at this.

I dont know why, but it seems i dont get google now cards on my watch.. like weather or anything
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
I'm busy with the kernel at the moment, haven't worked much on anything else. I mostly have screen brightness and started to work on lcd panel suspend and resume to get it out of the way. About wear, funny thing, I'm having more problems bringing this watch up than what I had with the Gear 2!

Even if the platform is the same, video libraries are giving me a very big headache. Gear Live uses a 3.10 kernel, whereas we're usig a 3.4. It seems at some point between those 2 versions, Qualcomm modified the MDSS framebuffer code and implemented other IOCTL calls to access the hardware, and when you try to boot it up with the bundled libraries, video doesn't even start. I got to see the boot animation (can post pictures of it ;)) but the hardware composer I got is missing a lot of dependencies on libEGL.so, and when I replace it, a lot more appear.

In essence, I have to find better code...

Yes... and no ;)

The kernel on the Motorola Titan (I think it's Moto G version 2?) shares kernel codebase with Tizen more than the Gear 2 Neo. The problem is with the radio interface layer, in which Samsung doesn't normally use Qualcomm libraries directly like Motorola does, and more importantly, all the Samsung SLSI devices that a Motorola doesn't use (I'm talking Samsung Sensrohub, Thermistor, Battery controller and a lot of stuff). So, generic libraries are cleaner, but it misses a lot of stuff.

That's the reason I'm trying to migrate the entire kernel tree from the Gear S to both Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo's kernel from cyanogenmod, and Galaxy S5's.

So far no luck even booting it though.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] Most of us here cannot even begin grasping the magnitude of the difficulities you are facing. Keep up the good work! We are patiently waiting for the day we can ditch Tizen and flash full Android on this otherwise great watch.
[Samsung Gear S] Jouixs:
God work man 46Y60976VL8427251

[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Well, one more thing we know: The Gear S is not _exactly_ the same as the Galaxy S3 Neo ;)

I've backported the QDSP6 (version2) drivers in the kernel, and now the "Wrong parameters" message is gone. It seems Android drivers from the userland don't behave the same way as the drivers in Tizen, and the ACDB calibration data for the ADSP wasn't processing correctly some of the parameters (for the curious out there: /system/etc/*.acdb and /usr/share/alsa/ucm-ponte-eur), because the driver didn't send something as expected. That's one out of the way I guess ;)

Now, the modem still didn't work, so I pushed the modem firmware from the S3 Neo to the watch.. To keep free RAM, samsung patched the reserved memory for the modem, so it didn't fit. Patched the board file, now it fits. Crash!

With Original (tizen) MBA firmware and Neo's MODEM firmware:

[ 3.637077] pil-q6v5-mss fc880000.qcom,mss: mba: Brought out of reset
[ 3.660166] pil-q6v5-mss fc880000.qcom,mss: modem: loading from 0x08400000 to 0x0c300000

So... headers are not the same. I put the MBA from the Neo too. If we kill it, we do it with style ;)

So, after all this: Modem firmware cannot be replaced. It uses digital signatures for the files, and the modem bootloader doesn't allow replacements from (at least) the S3 Neo. So... Can you check your modem firmware version and post it if it's different than mine? I didn't have a match for mine, but maybe there are others out there and we can get a donor...

Mine: M8626AAAAANLYD18312923.1

How to check:

sdb root on

sdb shell cat /lib/firmware/modem/verinfo/ver_info.txt

If you have another version we'll talk on how to pull it so I can run a few tests with it!
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:

[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
I had some time tonight to continue looking through the code. So far, I've gotten nowhere...haha. I wound up reverting back to Tizen so I could look at the dlog output for the modem and get a dump of the kernel config.

For those who are interested, I dumped the Tizen kernel source from Samsung's SM-R750 Opensource Release site out on Github along with the config file from the stock kernel (gear_s_tizen_defconfig). Whether the kernel works or not is another story (based on [MENTION=554771]biktor[/MENTION]'s earlier attempts...I'm leaning towards not)...but the code is there if you want to peruse it. At a minimum, it compiles. :)

1. You and [MENTION=3855785]andrew.mackew[/MENTION] overquoted biktor_gj's post.

2. You have a huge signature. biktor_gj doesn't have it at all.

3. When biktor_gj and other devs have something to say here they always do it.

4. This thread is a DEV tread, not a free discussion thread.

Please, keep calm and do not create pointless noise here unless you have something to give to the development.

[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
If you're asking if there's anything new to see if there's anything you can help with towards development, that's great. But like others have said, this is a development thread. Let's keep the "you got something yet?" questions to a minimum. If we get something, we'll let the community know. We want Android on this watch as much as the rest of this group. :)

But if you do have questions not related to the development of this rom, biktor_gj sat up a Q&A section:

[Samsung Gear S] Antartica:
Just for clarification, the name qmi_csi.so is heavily related to modem communication:

QMI: Qualcomm Modem Interface

CSI: camera serial interface (don't know how it is related to the modem, but there are configurable lanes, so it seems it is not only used for the camera)

Don't know if this helps with the problem. Could it be that the problem is related to misconfiguration of the CSIPHY for the QMI? Just floating ideas, as I don't know where that configuration could be changed :-?
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
All ideas are welcome ;)

Judging by the strings on the library, it seems to handle communication with the IPC driver (lots of reference to xprt)

My feeling (it's just a hunch) that there's some ioctl call, or some gpio set, after the firmware is loaded, that kickstarts the modem, so when the smd device is accessed, it's available, hence not dropping that "allocation failed" by the smd driver, and that isn't happening in Android.

One other thing I tried, was replacing all the qmi libraries with the ones from tizen. Once all dependencies were fixed the rild daemon would crash to libc.

When I get some time I might try to make a chrooted mini tizen image with the modem blobs and attempt to start it all just to see if it can be init correctly in some hacky way at least...
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] - You've made more progress than I have. Haven't gotten very far myself...modem won't even load firmware on my watch after dropping the files in. I wound up reverting back to Tizen for now so I can examine the radio logs. Haven't had time to dig into it this week though...life's getting in the way. :)
[Samsung Gear S] lachywallace:
So for now it wouldn't be possible to run android wear on the watch?
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
Nope. If we don't have bluetooth/wi-fi working in the kernel (which we don't atm), it wouldn't even make sense to run Wear on the watch, since it's designed to be paired with a device.

I've had Android installed on my Gear S since February 5th. I was hugely disappointed with the 3 hour battery life. Have things improved? Is there any way to improve battery life to last 12 hours? I really want this watch to be my only device. Whatsapp is an essential part of my daily communication and this device with a full Android port is a dream come true for me. Can someone please save me and help me out with the batter issue?

Thanks in advance.

Mine hasn't a real good battery life with Android wear, but anyway isn't too bad.

Every night need to be recharge it. Actually, I don't use it all day connect via Bluetooth,so I don't know if connect all day is fine for 1 day use.
[Samsung Gear S] mullmuzzler:
Poor Battery Life

Thank you for your response. But I've already got AW on my Urbane LTE 2. It's not a completely untethered device like I would like it to be. Android wear is good for notifications etc. but cannot be used as a standalone device in my opinion. I love the full Android port on my Gear S which allows me to handle all my communication through one device. The only problem now is the battery life.
[Samsung Gear S] Pookybär:
a friend of mine increased the battery life by downclocking the cpu by 100 hrz, the system still run fluid and he got 3-4 hours more...

That sounds great but unfortunately I have no idea how to do that? Could you point me in the right direction?

he used no-frills on a custom rom, the device was rooted. the app is simple, but keep in mind i give you no warranty whatsoever as i can't give you any evidence, though he's a trusted friend of mine :)

he says max clock 600 hrz, min 300 hrz is the best solution for him...
[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:
Currently running the full android port again and I noticed something I didn't notice before. This is actually a quad core using only two cores i thought. And I thought that even with this port that it still only used 2 cores. But, when I underclocked it to 787mHz with trickstermod I noticed that cores 2 and 3, (which is really the 3rd and 4th cores), are active and now all 4 cores are running at a lower frequency than the 2 cores at a higher frequency. Am I missing something weren't we still only using 2 out of the 4 cores and its by chance all 4 are working now or have all 4 been running the whole time and I just only saw 2 cores running at a time before?

Edit: This is also the first time I've used trickstermod on the port so maybe I'm just seeing all 4 running for the first time, before I was just using a little system info app.

Wow, umm.. I am unable to upload as my work connection does not allow MediaFire. But asking like this is no way to ask...Also Use the Q&A thread as questions like this in the DEV thread are regularly ignored as they do not pertain to development. Thank you.

Also, with CM, it is full android so any recording app will work that is not through bluetooth. From there you will need to find an app that works, but it will most likely die from battery before you hit the 4 hour mark as the CM version for the watch is in no way optimized and is in beta.

The new urbane LTE 2 re-release version supposedly has a new bluetooth stack as accepting and starting calls now goes to a connected headset correctly. Maybe this will help with your version.

AW 1.5.0.2655648. Google Play services 8.7.01. Android 6.0.1

If I do go and pick one of these up today I can get you a firmware dump.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:

It'll probably work the same as with the Zenwatch (my problem seems to be in tje mixer_paths.xml, a always) but if you get one and you can get me a copy of these files:

/system/lib/hw/bluetooth.default.so

/system/vendor/lib/libbt-vendor.so

I can play with them to see if there's a difference :)

however, [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] please update the OP with the latest Androidwear build and build notes so people aren't forced to read through this whole thread.
