[Samsung Gear S] Sparky-Gear S:
Hello ,

So ... I'm running CM on my watch ! Don't have any experience with AW ( because I don't like it from the get go as UI )!

For the install part I followed the steps from the first posts as well as viewing Jason Koo's youtube tutorial on it , and everything worked like a charm includind making phonecalls ( excluding known bug - bf headset most noticeable at the start of my experience [ some months ago ] ) !

The battery started at about 6 hours , but as with many custom rom's I tried on diferent phones so far , as the battery data came in ( out of usage ) some optimisation took place and it started to get better ( I may be wrong for the reasons , but the real results after some days of use where great , at least for me ).

To help the battery a little :

I disabled all vibrations excluding phonecalls and notifications

I use Euphoria Dark theme ( as i belive a prodominantly dark black screen will save some battery )

I use NoFrillsCPU to set CPU to 300-600 Mhz on ondemand profile ( which reduced the heating of the watch on the hartrate sensor from happening that often - that made it really easy to wear all the time for me )

I have it allways on the 2G network while on standby + talktime + not so urgent browsing stuff ( I still use the 3G when the need arrives , dough it draines the battery very noticeable )

I use Tasker to turn bluetooth on and off while sensing a phone call in or out

I use Apex Launcher and I disabled transitions and visual effect on the homescreen and apps screen

I only use 1 home screen and 1 dock page

I keep location , wifi and bw off while I don't use them

That's all that came thru my mind now , if I remember anything more I'll update the post later !

Good luck with it , if you decide to install !

* Sorry if this was a long answer , or my english wasn't that good ( I was really tired while writting this )

Best of luck !

icic...understood. Now that you've said it, CM is my only choice now.
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
Report back after you've installed it with your findings
[Samsung Gear S] skyred5:
sure. I'll probably do it on friday or weekend to avoid work disruption.
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
Can you upload a video of a working ROM with how it works?
[Samsung Gear S] skyred5:
No promises, but i will try.
[Samsung Gear S] DQEight:
So did OP biktor drop off the face of the planet?
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
He's now working for Samsung, we'll if they had any sense he would be. Everything has its time and to be fair he got precious little help with the actual development.

It's seems to me that most people here are like me with no coding skills and are just tech enthusiasts so most of the work is done by the few and not the many.
[Samsung Gear S] guybrush0000:
Hi guys!

Does anyone know if someone is currently working on the calls for AW? It would be a great feature to have on this device, especially if you are using it paired with a Note 8.0 like me.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] delboi:
Quick question couldn't we implement the no1 s3 smartwatches calling capabilities into the wear rom?
[Samsung Gear S] snazzer:
Just got my Gear S so i would like to know if this project is still running?

Is there a way to get andorid wear on gear s and if so, is it working at all?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
Check out my post

https://gearswear.wordpress.com
[Samsung Gear S] snazzer:
Nice work man, i'll definitely test it.

Do you develop that AW? (in case i can report bugs etc)
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
No no, I just posted the howto as there wasn't a howto available, I thought I'd save the next person a few hours of his life.
[Samsung Gear S] snazzer:
Okay thx anyway, great guide :)

What about developing? is it still running or wheter it has stopped?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
Project is dead, I wouldn't expect any further updates
[Samsung Gear S] snazzer:
Okay, so there is not going to be any bug fixes anymore?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
Not unless you fix them yourself :)
[Samsung Gear S] DeKiesel:
Just got a (used) gear s as a present and I am trying to find out how to make the most of it. I have a galaxy S5 BUT with a custom rom, so no touchwiz available. Should I install this release on my watch? As far as I read there is a marshmallow version for the watch but it is not very stable, is that correct?

Any help would be really appreciated!
[Samsung Gear S] skyred5:
Just curious...will there be development for gear S to use AW 2.0 when it is released? This helps if I were to keep or not to keep my gear S. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] labtv:
I'm afraid development is over

[Samsung Gear S] maxi65:
going back to stock resulted in a bootloop :(

My watch model is SM R750

can Your recovery image #2 fix it?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
Yes, it worked fine for me

It worked twice in fact
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
hi,

The link to Android Wear image is not working (in the development thread)

So I downloaded images from here:

https://gearswear.wordpress.com/

and followed the instructions. Flashed all files.

The watch booted up with fresh Android Wear.

But my phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with Android 7) does not see it in Android Wear app.

It actually see the watch in bluetooth settings but not in the Android wear app.

Do I have to use a special version of the Android Wear app ?

Or is there a better Android wear firmware for the Gear S ? Where can I find it ?

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

I followed it but as stated in my previous post, my phone does not see the watch.

Any ideas ?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
I believe its AW on the phone, they must have dropped support for 5.1.1 on the watch

I have the same problem, I just tried it

BUT, If you install on old very of AW on the phone it works
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
actually I found version 1.5 of the AW for phone and installed. But this time the AW on the phone asked for update and it can not be skipped.

How did you get over that ?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
You need to disable automatic updates on the phone, Google for a howto
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
no. this is not Google's "automatic update"

the app iteself (AW) asks for an update.

to be safe, I tried this procedure:

- removed new AW from phone

- turned off automatic updates in Google Play

- turned off mobile data and wifi

- installed old AW (v1.5 from aptoide)

- run old AW without any data/wifi connection

- it asks me to update the app

what can I do ?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
You're saying that AW on the watch wants to update?
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
exactly.
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
I don't believe you :)

Can you show us with a screenshot?
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
here it is :
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
Thats to update AW on the phone not the watch.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
yes. and that is my problem.

I can't setup the watch because app requests an update. And if I update, new version AW does not see the watch.

what is the solution ?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
That's the problem everyone has now, the only way to fix it is to disable updates on the phone, which is not ideal because you're not going to get the updates not sure what else to do, maybe Google way to stop a single application from updating
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
disabling the updates on "play store" app does not help.

the AW app still asks to update.

I even turned off mobile data and wifi on the phone but it still asks to update.

How else do you disable updates ?
[Samsung Gear S] ipguy:
I'm all out of suggestions
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
but how do you use it ?
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
no solutions ?

how do you guys use it ?
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
great !

this is another answer-less thread of an abandoned project.

and users who have used it have forgotten how...
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
Maybe try a slightly later version than wear 1.5...but older than the current version.

Long shot but maybe worth a go.

[Samsung Gear S] PTHugo:
Hi i've started to follow your footprints, did all same as you, got the same results as you, so the real problem is the watch as soon as you pair with the fone, shuts up bluethoot, i mean when you pair the watch bluetooth will go off on the watch, that why the app don't see the wacth cos bluetooth is off, is there a way to turn it back on?

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

i did the same you guys did and i'm very verry assured that what really happens is as sonn as you pair the watch bluetooth on the watch turns itself off, i think thats a samsung restriction implemented on the kernel so you can't use the watch without samsung fone, my problem is i don't now a way arround this, in the end i be;ive that if we menage to keep bluetooth on in the watch it will work... let me know if you find a way... i found something about rooting the wathc and me a few changes like in samsung gear and gear 2, lets not give up we are verry verry close i can feel it... :)
[Samsung Gear S] dimex:
Hey guys, just got the Gear S today.

So, I successfully backed up, flashed TWRP, then flashed CM. First boot was fine and I started installing stuff. Then I went back into TWRP to flash Xposed and got some weird E: Unable to mount '/recovery' error. Tried going into mount settings but recovery was greyed out. Things seemed to have flashed ok otherwise, so I rebooted.

After that, everytime I boot everything from Trebuchet to any part of the system force closes, the thing is unusable. I tried going into recovery and wiping but it won't let me because of error. I reflashed CM in ODIN but it didn't erase anything, it seems to have kept all data.

Can someone help me? I just need recovery to work, start from scratch, and be able to install Xposed alongside CM. This is strange.
[Samsung Gear S] runningwarrior08:
Okay, it has been years but I can try.

In ODIN, did you select wipe data? I think the dev for the android port had a way to go back via odin somewhere in this thread. Without a recovery partition you may not be able to wipe correctly without possibly wiping the partition. But I do not remember the consequences of that unfortunately.
[Samsung Gear S] dimex:
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."

[Samsung Gear S] Scarpa 13:
Hello everyone, I tried to install wear on gear s, the latest version + kernel. I think the work is really exceptional and it would be great that the project could go on. For the moment I find myself very well, only problems encountered:

- not work HRM (I need it :D)

- does not work the speakerphone in the calls so as to keep the phone in your pocket.

It is possible to fix them in some way? Thank you [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] (sorry for my eng !)
[Samsung Gear S] BinaryRadeon:
Latest and greatest?

Has anyone successfully ported Android Wear newer than 1.5 or Android 7.0 to the Gear S? I apologize in advance if it was posted elsewhere and I missed it, I am relatively new here.
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
hello good people,

would someone please provide a link to download the android wear version for our gear s?

super thank you! :)
[Samsung Gear S] shazdxb:
need help

gear wear os looks stunning but after installing rom it stuck on pairing mode i also try gear wear softwere from playstore but its not pairing with device any suggestion?
[Samsung Gear S] PamelaGirl:
You need to install an older version of Android Wear to get it to work.

This version works for me: v2.0.0.160652436.

You'll have to do a search to find older apk files you can sideload onto your device.

Wear OS by Google Smartwatch (was Android Wear) - phone app 2.0.0.160652436.gms

What did I do wrong and how can I fix this to success continue into wear os?
[Samsung Gear S] SpokenWordNerd:
Second time around in Odin it worked
[Samsung Gear S] SpokenWordNerd:
Did you try user.zip?

¡De nada!
[Samsung Gear S] SpokenWordNerd:
Okay sort of related

Is there a companion app? Where I can get notifications from my phone to my watch?

I'm only using my phones hotspot as a data connection for it, since 3g isn't working and is being shut down.
[Samsung Gear S] LendeusGG:
Hi! I accidentally bricked my Gear S, and can't get out of Bootloop. I have the Tizen files, and Odin installed and working on my PC. Now all I need to know is how to get it out of the bootloop. Could I please have exact instructions on how to get it back o Tizen?
[Samsung Gear S] DorkyDev:
You can boot into the recovery option?

Hold down the button for 10/15 seconds then choose I think its Download and plug it in
[Samsung Gear S] LendeusGG:
Thanks. Running! Just sad it wont work with my s21 Ultra :(
[Samsung Gear S] DorkyDev:
I've given up on mine, I'm gonna get the Hazzler DM20 or a nice curved device is the AmazFit X

On top of that the sim cards kept getting shut off due to 3G shutting down, new service would last 48 hours before they recognized it as a 34 device and banned the iemi from that simple card. LoL Grrrrr

Data SMS calls were all working they just didn't want it connecting.

[Samsung Gear S] chickensauce:
Can you put up the tutorial again? Possibly in here
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Glad it finally worked... To be fair, I said it could be done, not that it was easy ;)

I think when I fixed the 3g I broke something in the bluetooth stack... I have yet to look into it and make an updated kernel...

Watch faces

Had another thought, is it possible to have watch faces on the lock screen?
[Samsung Gear S] kavish106:
I got it but instead I hold the botton for recovery and when I put it in the dock it goes straight to Gear s logo ..... No battery logo appears now

Please helppp
[Samsung Gear S] DorkyDev:
Why not keep it plugged in and docked and then enter download mode? Instead of entering download mode while it's unhooked? LoL
[Samsung Gear S] kavish106:
I tried it docked when I was fully charged and disconnected from usb and still no battery icon appears just goes straight to the gear s logo boot loop
[Samsung Gear S] DorkyDev:
You might have to sideload the apk...

Launcher Labs also has a few watch face themes.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
First, with battery empty, connect it to the dock. It should show the battery charging logo for about a second without pressing any key. If it does, its not dead.

Measure the time it take between the time it takes between the moment you connect the dock and when the lcd turns on

Unplug the dock, let it turn off, and when its off connect the dock again and start pressing the power button JUST BEFORE the lcd turns on, then keep pressing it until you see the 'Rebooting' message.

The first time it happened to me I spent about 4 hours until I found the exact time.

I left the gear s for today with no power and when I docked it today still goes straight to the gear s logo plus I make sure they was no juice in the gear s before .... Any other method ?
[Samsung Gear S] DorkyDev:
I haven't made the switch to android, but I say tonight leave the dock plugged in and it turned on overnight and then in the morning hold down the power button keep holding it down while ya plug in the usb connector, I think there is no other way but to beat the clock.

I hate the fact that all the mainstream manufactures done away with all the good old reset and factory reset pins that you'd have to hit with the stylus back in windows mobile days, now it's all about timed key combinations.
