I'm having some issues, wondering if someone can help. I went back to Tizen and then back to CM again to see if it would solve it but it hasn't:

Installed CM 20160221 build. Anytime I try to flash something in TWRP it shows an error E: Unable to mount '/recovery' . Still seems like things flash ok. Nonetheless, when I start either enabling root through CM in Developer Options or flash SuperSU and then grant root access to any program, lots of force closes and crashes start happening. Either CM File Explorer, or when I tried Root Explorer, when I start scrolling down they crash.

I tried installing Xposed based on the most updated files for SDK22-arm (5.1.1) and XposedInstaller 3.1.5. After I flashed xposed-v89-sdk22-arm in TWRP, everything starts crashing, and the ROM becomes unusable. I've never had this happen before on any of the dozens of devices I've played with, so I don't know what the hell is going on.

I followed every step to the T. Should I be using an older build of CM? or a different set of Xposed files? or something else? I have absolutely no clue what to do, but this is annoying!
[Samsung Gear S] Sorrow256:
does the problem with mobile network still not work or has it been fix?
[Samsung Gear S] dimex:
To update on my issues, I went back to Tizen to start from fresh and then re-installed CM. This ROM just does not play well with certain things, it's really strange. So at this moment I'm utilizing other steps than Xposed to get what I want. There are really weird things, like certain apk files I want to install. The moment I transfer apk files for certain apps onto the device, it starts crashing, and I haven't even installed them yet! It's so weird. For example, I backed up the "Buttons remapper" apk from my phone and transferred it through USB onto the Gear S. Then when I would go into either Root Explorer or CM File Manager to install it, it would crash and force close. If I plugged the Gear S back into my computer and deleted the apk from my Downloads folder through Windows, the device would no longer crash. However, a different app called "Button Mapper" would work just fine. So weird, I have never seen this behavior.

It happens with Xposed too, that's why it wasn't working. The apks and zips once I flashed them would render the device unusable. I can't be the only one with this extremely weird issue. I have a feeling the updated Xposed files since a few years ago have to do something with this, but I can't find information about specific framework versions or Xposed installers that people used on the Gear S, otherwise I would see if those worked. Only thing I could fine in posts was comments that "Xposed works."

I unlocked the device yesterday for use on AT&T and SIM works fine. The only issue I have now is the battery, I'm guessing there's just 14% battery wear on this thing. It will display 100% when charging, but once I unplug it it drops to 86% almost immediately. Not sure if same behavior existed on Tizen because I didn't use that OS.
[Samsung Gear S] netoh02:
Hey, I've installed a custom rom on my Galaxy S6, but now Gear Manager doesn't work because I changed my phone's OS. I thought about installing Android Wear but it has too many bugs, and there is nobody to continue developing this rom. Any ideas about what I should do?
[Samsung Gear S] James160103:
Well, you could use your Gear S with your current ROM but that would mean very limited functionality; you would only be able to answer calls on your watch and nothing else really, no app required.

To do that press the watch icon you get during the setup until you get to the watch face screen. Then navigate to settings on your watch, make it visible in Bluetooth settings and pair it with your phone.

I used to have a S5 and used that with my Gear S. When I moved on to AOSP though I gave Android Wear a try. It works fine except the always-on feature not working properly (mostly doesn't work, yellow lines on screen), battery life being only mediocre and some watch faces not being optimised for the screen. Now that I've got a S8 I've reverted back to stock (flashed recovery image from OP and then the newest firmware file). Worked out fine. No other options really.

It's up to you! ;)
[Samsung Gear S] netoh02:
Yeah, but now I've read that the android wear app doesn't support versions below android wear 2.0 which is kinda sad, and I really don't want to go back to stock rom on my S6. I guess there's nothing to do :(
[Samsung Gear S] netoh02:
I wonder how did you get the Android Wear open source? I searched all over the internet and I haven't found nothing...

EDIT: nevermind
[Samsung Gear S] wornbat:
I downloaded the last image which he posted on this thread and then installed the kernel patch to it. That worked for me although it drained the Watch in no time. I did manage to get Zello Running on it
[Samsung Gear S] netoh02:
Which rom you installed? CM or Android Wear?
[Samsung Gear S] wornbat:
Ive installed both onto it they both have good points and bad points
[Samsung Gear S] netoh02:
Could you pair the watch with the Android Wear app?
[Samsung Gear S] ica_19:
I would be very appreciated for updated links, especially for TizenRecovery_v2.zip
[Samsung Gear S] dimex:
Anyone interested in a GSM unlocked T-Mobile Gear S with Cyanogen and TWRP already installed, shoot me a PM. I've moved on to a different china watch.

[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
I used the port for ages..used both the wear and cm ports...tbh the battery life on the cm port was horrible if you used the the full capabilities...the wear port was cool IMO
[Samsung Gear S] alh84001:
Sorry for the n00b question, but If i understand this thread correctly - the current state is that voice calls/3G is not working on Android Wear, but is on CM?
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
Hello Good People,

Would someone please have or provide a link to the Android Wear 6.0.1 ?

Super Thank you!
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
I got Android Wear running now and it looks very cool after a couple of days. I have it working with a v2.0 Android Wear app.

I notice that the pointer location is on and I have no idea as how to turn it off on the Sony Gear S. Would anyone have any idea about this, it’s a bit annoying to see the trace marks on the screen.

Also while searching this thread from my computer I often get a 404 error when trying to access the last page of this thread.

I could use some friendly help if anyone can spare a moment.

T.I.A. :)
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
I was able to turn off the pointer location by enabling the developer section.

Settings -- About -- Build ( tap several times to enable menu)

From the Developer menu scroll down to the pointer location.

Hope this may help someone in the future, or it my help myself as a message from the past, or future. :)
[Samsung Gear S] madmartyagain:
if there are any devs left here there could be a great idea to move over to postmarketOS and start working on Samsung Gear S..

It is sad that this great device is going dead ... there is real bad to use this old unmaintained firmwares ... even the stock roms is dead since many years so we would need this now...

Best regards

Martin
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
I think its all quiet here...

Perhaps it’s the result of a throw away economy once your eyes are upon what is perceived as the latest and greatest.

Its still a wonderful device with a huge face. I'd rather use it instead of a round face watch.
[Samsung Gear S] chiikko561:
I would have to agree. The Gear S is still my favorite of all the smart watches. Everybody is always caught up in the newest stuff. I tend to do it as well but generally keep all my old stuff too. From time to time I go back and mess with my old devices. Good luck and hopefully a dev comes by with some interest in the Gear S
[Samsung Gear S] fernandomis12:
hi all, i want to know from who use the gear S nowdays if worth use android wear on it? whats dont work at all? thank u guys
[Samsung Gear S] sagnikd96:
Could you give me a headstart on where you found the links to whichever version of android wear you got running?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] dersie:
My Gear S works fine with his Tizen version. Wear works often bad. So I think a Gear S original is better than most all Wear Watch ;)
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
Here is a link to download the stable Android Wear. Best to download it A.S.A.P because this link can become unavailable.

So I got it installed and its working fine. I actually enjoy it more than the Tizen OS.

Every app that came pre-installed on Tizen you can have a similar version via Playstore.

Remeber you'll need the older version on Android Wear on your phone.

v2.0.0.160652436

Newer versions called WearOS will not properly sync with your device/Gear S
[Samsung Gear S] fernandomis12:
Ty dersie and PamelaGirl for the replay.

i want to use the Wearable Widgets app on my Gear S, but i cant find it on galaxy store so... thats why i want use the android port on it..

do u know if its avaible for the android wear (the version to gear s here) ?

thx
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
You have to try another site for older apps like aptoide.com and apkpure.com
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
I got Wearable Widgets working!

Try v5.2.1 from this link

I have not been able to get the heart monitor working yet.

So far I have the step part working using Runtastic v9.0 and Googles Fit v2.13.32-130

[Samsung Gear S] Radem:
Pamela, thank you for your android wear, I'm testing

Do you have something like changing colors for a while when you start the home button everything returns to normal
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
I think at the very beginning right after the boot it would do something weird for a few seconds and than it would level out and look and work properly
[Samsung Gear S] Radem:
And it was just like that. But I have something strange that Google would block my phone from the Wear oS app, I can not install it on the phone, and if I do, I can not see my phone watch or watch. Will there be any changes from the author of the software or the patch, the watch wake up actively

Ok, removing Google account has helped so far, ok.

Can you see it with this Fit because it does not count the steps of any activity
[Samsung Gear S] AOWS:
HI Pamela

About the WearOS for the GearS, My GearS is the model R750W and its on stock firmware like its never been attached to the usb.

what should i do to get it installed on my GearS?

just download and flash with odin?
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
Yes that is pretty much it. There may be a slight difference in the firmware pertaining to radio and wifi chip. Make sure you have a backup of the original firmware in case something goes side ways.
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
Life from TizenOS to Android Wear :)

Hello Good People,

Here is a list of apps that helped me when moving from TizenOS to Android Wear

Android Wear v2.0.0.160652

Gesture Launcher v1.8.1

Wear Mini Launcher v5.8.4

WearTasker v2.06

Greenify v2.6.2

Citymapper v8.6

Once you get Android Wear up and running it may take a few minutes but soon your watch will become populated with some basic carry over apps like:

Stopwatch

Flashlight

Compass

Maps

Set Alarm

Set Timer

Some apps may / may not carry over. So far I have enjoyed the experience and haven't looked back.
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
A few more images:D
[Samsung Gear S] AOWS:
Thanks for responding

Just ine more question please

The backup of the original firmware should be done using TWRP, or u mean a firmware like the one on sammobile?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
Hello,

The firmware like from sammobile.

I think a version of the firmware is also on the 1st page of this thread.

May the force be with you :)
[Samsung Gear S] AOWS:
I have the WearOS and the backups

Original firmware from sammobile and the TizenRecovery_v2.zip from this thread.

It's the moment of the truth now

Please stay with me just in case of something goes wrong you immediately call 911, because I definitely gonna have heart attack if it didn't bootup.
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
You will be fine :)

Just remember the first bootup may take some time so dont go pressing any buttons. Just set back and let it boot up, I recall after the boot the screen got weird for a moment but it soon returned to normal and all was good.
[Samsung Gear S] AOWS:
Thanks alot

It's on WearOS now

But you list some apps on one of your posts like Guster launcher

How did u install it?

There is no app store

Did u use ADB or something else?

Thanks again
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
You'll need to side load an app called Aptoid onto your smartphone.

Within the Aptoid.app you can do a search for the Gesture Launcher. Download the version that I posted to be safe. Once it is downloaded it will install itself to the watch. Search Duckduckgo.com for "Aptoid", or "ApkPure".

Remember NOT to update AndroidWear beyond the version mention or you will start to break its function to the watch.

Thank you so much for helping me during flashing and apps installations

Firast I installed the WearOS tar file and the kerne file

But I faced some issues. (I think it's the kernel, but the file name is kerne)

And then flashed WearOS with out the kerne.tar file, I will explain why down

Issues are:

1st one was the clock faces are not perfect as shown

in Pic

2nd one is when I reboot the watch, in a specific moment during boot, the vibration start and stay for some time.

3rd one is the battery drain, the battery in my watch is bad anyway but it worse than it was in tizen.

4th the google play in the phone stop working after sometime and it needs to clear it's data to make it work again.

That is some issues until this moment

About the kerne.tar file, I didn't flash it just to see what could happen if I didn't, I noticed that some of the watch faces works better without it.

I mean the layouts are in perfect shap not as in the pic above (I hope I have made it claer)

Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it

[Samsung Gear S] jon53179:
Does anyone have a link to the latest Wear OS for this device please?
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
I think your best bet is to use the older version of Android Wear and not the new WearOS.
[Samsung Gear S] jon53179:
is there a flow chart for install or just go thru odin?
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
No flow cart, just find older software version and side load it. I provided a link on the forum so do a simple search and you will be up and running
[Samsung Gear S] Makifylmzz:

So.... We assess the situation:

Is Wear OS the most stable version around?

What works and what doesn't?

Does HRM (Heart rate Monitor) work?

Do notifications arrive and if so, are they interactive? (in this case I would have a solution, tell me if you are interested)

How is the battery life?

Hello developers. I have this watch and it is practically incompatible with Samsung and all devices. I want to renew it and install Android Wear or WearOS by Google. Is there anyone here who can help me by putting the steps to follow to do it? From already thank you very much.

Not sure if anybody is still running CM on this watch, but watch droid app for phone notifications works great via bluetooth. Only way I could get bluetooth to work was enabling bt tethering.

Even though the watch shows bluetooth not connected, watch droid will still push the notifications to the watch.

Anybody remember any good battery life tweaks for CM on the Gear S?
[Samsung Gear S] Myrmeko:
You could install SuperFreez and auto-freeze every unused app. Install a pixel filter so every other pixel will be turned off (could mess up the display in the long run). Install Kernel Adiutor and make a power saving profile.

There were some scripts too, way too many of them.
[Samsung Gear S] zeus_r6:
Worth a shot. Short of the original Oppo watch global, the Gear S is still physically the best square/rectangular screen watch for bigger hands imo.

Thanks for the info!
[Samsung Gear S] Myrmeko:
You're welcome. :)

And yeah, definitely the best one. Also the Nubia flexible watch is pretty good, but it's just a lottery when buying one, because some can have 3rd party apps installed on them, others don't. Not as stylish, but so cool looking.
[Samsung Gear S] zeus_r6:
Was looking at that watch as well, but unless something has changed, there is no dev for wear OS or one of the watch versions of Android OS to flash onto them unfortunately.
[Samsung Gear S] Myrmeko:
I forgot one thing. Easy DPI Changer. I'm using that on my J5 2015 because i want more performance and better battery life. I put it at half of its resolution, so 360x640. It looks fine.

You could try 270 x 360. It's a small screen, maybe it looks decent enough.
[Samsung Gear S] zeus_r6:
Thanks a million! I would be happy with 12 hours battery life with message and email notifications coming through.
[Samsung Gear S] Myrmeko:
You're elcome again. 👍

Probably all of that would make it last a day. Install the latest kernel from 2018 too. Maybe that helps. It's a few pages back.
[Samsung Gear S] Myrmeko:
A followup for this.

I tried changing the resolution, there is no app that works. Easy DPI Changer makes the watch reboot when launched. Resolution Changer - Uses ADB crashes if trying to apply anything. Pixels: Resolution + DPI Changer needs Android 7.0 at least.

If you know any resolution changer that works, pls give me a link for it.

Other than that i had it at 1GHz most of the day, then 600MHz after 50% and finally 300MHz when it was at 15%.

After 50% i set stuff in Kernel Adiutor to power saving options (powersave governors, aggressive single core use, noop i/o scheduler).

And from around 30% i also had Android's powersaver turned on because it does some extra stuff. Also had it on Airplane mode at all time, so it wouldn't search for networks, not even for emergency calls. Turned off cell broadcasts too.

And all useless apps put in Freeze mode with SuperFreez.

I managed to get exactly 10 hours from 100 to 0 % battery. (But battery health is also a huge factor, since mine doesn't really hold a charge on Tizen as much as it used to when it was brand new.)

Without changing the resolution, i doubt it's possible to get even more battery life. Cannot go through a whole day, especially if Bluetooth is on at all times (which it wasn't on mine).

Found this full black theme too: https://xdaforums.com/t/update-them...-changer-v2-8-07-22-15.3012227/#post-58407197 so the pixel filter i talked about in the previous post won't have to consume battery anymore, since most of the pixels are turned off anyway.

How was your experience? Did you do anything differently?
