[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Are you sure it's an Exynos? A lot has been said about that, but at this point I don't believe much of anything, and I really doubt Samsung would go with two boards with two processors for the same watch. If you can try some things with sdb (non invasive) we can know it for sure:

sdb shell ls /dev/kg*

If you see something like:

C:\Users\Biktor>sdb shell ls /dev/kg*
/dev/kgsl-3d0

You have a Qualcomm processor with an Adreno GPU

If you run:

sdb shell ls /dev/ma*

C:\Users\Biktor>sdb shell ls /dev/ma*
ls: cannot access /dev/ma*: No such file or directory

You don't have a Mali GPU, so you don't have an Exynos processor.

If, instead it returns:

C:\Users\Biktor>sdb shell ls /dev/ma*
/dev/mali

Then you may really have an exynos cpu...

Also keep in mind that the Gear S is advertised like a dual core, but at least mine is a Quad Core, with 2 of the cores disabled to reduce battery consumption. A simple kernel can return them to life and double the CPU power ;)
[Samsung Gear S] minjoon0312:
Okay, I will try and post the results on here! :D
[Samsung Gear S] minjoon0312:
Wow:good::good:

Well, I did not expected to see this result!

Samsung was lying to us...??

For SM-R750, the spec says that it has 1.0 Dual-Core Exynos CPU.

But, my watch has QUALCOMM CPU Yay :good:

Thank you for nor trusting Samsung(?) :fingers-crossed:

Now, the gear model doesn't matter! (except for Verizon and AT&T maybe? lol)

If the android boots on Gear, that would be the best watch on market right now!!!!
[Samsung Gear S] obogzch:
OMG OMG, please please! :D :D
[Samsung Gear S] Medic97:
I'm sure it's too early to tell. But you think we will still have independent call functionality?

Also wanted to say your awesome for taking this on and I hope you can breath new life into my watch.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
What do you mean with 'independent call functonality'?

If you mean being able to use the sim in the watch, that's exactly why I'm porting full android and not wear, to de-link it from the phone. I might also make a build or two of wear just to prove the point to Samsung, but that's just an idea right now ;)

What we probably won't have is the capability to pick calls from the phone on the watch (using it as an A2DP handsfree), but we can't have everything!
[Samsung Gear S] minjoon0312:
Lol there is no more user space then.. [emoji16] world's first dual boot smart watch?
[Samsung Gear S] Kingdom3533:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] , first thanks for the amazing work you have done so far :) . I read over at the development thread that you got TWRP working on the gear s and you said that mounting partitions works. Now since the gear s seems to have a similar board to the SIII neo and a 5pin microUSB interface. Do you think it might be possible to get USB-OTG working or have you tried to mount a USB-Stick in TWRP(if the version you use supports it)? Just wondering if that could be possible :)
[Samsung Gear S] almony8:
Will I be able to use a T-Mobile or even international variant of the watch on sprints network? I really want full android on this beast but I have sprint service and a sprint watch. If so I will sell my sprint variant and get a T-Mobile or international one. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Gear S] almony8:
T-Mobile is garbage in my area, I can't switch to then. How about an international variant? I can't make that work? I guess I could just use it through Bluetooth since I always have my phone anyway, but that kind of ruins the point of the watch
[Samsung Gear S] LuisLJ:
Soo this only works for the tmobile and international variant? No att? Could it be posible to make it work on att?
[Samsung Gear S] Medic97:
I was wondering, will apps resize properly for the small screen?
[Samsung Gear S] tedkord:
This looks really exciting. Great work! I'm always amazed at what the developershere can accomplish (which often overshadows the original).

That said, I have a Verizon model, so I'm sure I'll never see it (or a new firmware) :(
[Samsung Gear S] imtg61:

[Samsung Gear S] hristopelov:
i have a question [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] you or mybe the other seasoned members would know the answer of:

Ive been thinking, the $15 Gear S plan from T-Mobile, do you think it would be possible to use on a regular smartphone, if the IMEI of it is reppaced with an existing real Gear S IMEI? is that how T-Mobile and carriers whitelist the devices that plan works on?

Please any info be greatly apreciated, i have a line w metroPCS and was thinking of getting that $15 T-Mo plan for another separate line..

Thank You

Battery life has been about the same for me. Can last all day with minimal use and airplane mode on. Full on use will get you a couple hours at the most.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Oookay, let's try again:

This is a resistor:

As you can see, it has two "wires". You bend it a bit and make each wire touch each of the pins marked in red in the picture above. You hold it like that for about 1-2 seconds and release them when you see the screen of the watch turn on.

It should enter download mode automatically, that's exactly what a USB Jig is inside.
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
Recharging

Hello guys, I'v installed the cm on its last build and the last kernel. Everything went successful but I have a doubt about charging. When I turn it off without being connected on the dock it stays off, but when I turn it off and connect it to the dock and on the power it suddenly turns on in recovery mode (TWPR). My doubt is: if the battery completely goes away (0%) will I be able to recharge it again or I'm not supposed to let the battery die?
[Samsung Gear S] dallen5:
I really appreciate this help but one more question who many ohms to get??
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:

[Samsung Gear S] Medic97:
Can someone please point me to the guide to go from tizen to android for the first time. it's not listed in the op and i can't seem to find it. Already have the latest build with the updated kernel downloaded.

Edit 1: Found this which helped me http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63658666&postcount=116 figure it out. I followed the tutorial in the youtube video to backup my sysdata file from tizen. and I flashed gapps using the recovery.

Made it over to android without much headache. Of course I went from 40% battery down to 0% in like 10 mins but thats ok. I do have a bug that even if the watch is off when I plug in the charger it turns the watch on to the recovery.

[Samsung Gear S] illdill:
Is it not possible to change the network name? NM, I found it in Developer options. Has anyone been able to mount the internal storage through WinExplorer? I thought that's how I originally got the gapps package on the device, but now it won't show up. I can see it in adb, but when I disable debugging I can't see the device in Windows.
[Samsung Gear S] dallen5:
What if the watch is dead? When I charge it the Samsung logo start flashing
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
When it shuts down due to low battery if you wait a minute or two and press the power button it powers back on, doesn't it? That should be enough juice to enter download mode and connect it to the computer...
[Samsung Gear S] dallen5:
Yea it comes back on

Android and Android Wear

Hi, thank you so much for your hard work [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]

I was just wondering if the build you're making for Android Wear will be able to be a dailydriver/standalone device/work without a phone?

I've been following your post since the beginning and I'm really happy that you are working so passionatly on this project!

I'm going to buy a Gear S very soon and is hoping a watch with a OS that can replace my phone.

Once again thank you! :good::angel:

[Samsung Gear S] illdill:
bitkor_gj, I think I messed something up. I thought I had the low space issue I read about in an earlier post and without realizing it was related to the earlier install, I flashed the user.zip file and the watch would not start. it just sits at the droid logo pulsating for hours. So, I tried reflashing the CMBuild and same thing. So I flashed the recovery Tizen zip and that booted normally albeit in a different language. (french?) So then I reflashed the CMBuild and now I am back at the droid logo where I started. Any suggestions? Do I need to format something? Thanks.

I got it! I had to reflash Tizen, then go into recovery and do a factory reset. Then reflash CM.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Can you enter recovery? If you do, you can try to format the data partiton...

[MENTION=4643509]dallen5[/MENTION] does it do anything? Does it turn on at least or what does it do?
[Samsung Gear S] dallen5:
It comes on but goes straight to the Samsung Gear S logo:crying:
[Samsung Gear S] illdill:
So yeah, I think factory resetting from the tizen recovery rom basically wiped the data partition which allowed me to successfully reflash the CM zip. Problem now is I cannot get the gapps zip onto the device. It isn't showing up in WinExplorer, adb push attempts give me a Read Only error.

Also, I tried doing what you suggested, previously but I kept getting mount errors.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
I'm out of ideas man...

It bootlooped into recovery if I remember it right, does it get to show up in the computer through ADB, for at least a second?

Check it out this way:

Boot into recovery

adb shell

ls data/

if there's content inside,

touch /data/temp.txt

then again

ls data/

Is there a file?

Also check the size, you might have lost the data partition space by flashing the user.tar file

If any of that fails, recreate the filesystem manually:

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p24

Hope it helps!
[Samsung Gear S] illdill:
I was able to go into recovery, enable write and then WinExplorer saw the device and I was able to transfer the gapps zip. I think I'm good. ADB does not see the device in recovery mode. Is that normal?
[Samsung Gear S] dallen5:
In ADB it says error device not found...yea I hit recovery instead of hitting download
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
You might need to select the driver manually from the device manager

What I meant is if it gets to show up in Windows' device manager. D*mn samsung boooaders...
[Samsung Gear S] dallen5:
No it doesn't even show up in device manager
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Then I don't know if there's much you can do... The only other thing I could think of (and not sure if it would work) would be to disassemble the watch, disconnect the battery from the main board and then try to power up to odin with the resistor while you reconnect the battery... But again I don't know if it would work...
[Samsung Gear S] illdill:
How do I determine if I am getting the maximum space available on the device, the 2.4 gigs you mentioned in an earlier post. I probably am but want to make sure. It seems like there is not a lot of space on this device with android. The best I can tell, I have half a gig available. On another front, the GPS seems to be working this time.

[Samsung Gear S] daviddaul:
App Question/Provider Question

Any experience with the TMobile Gear S?

Reason I would put this on my Gear S is to get it standalone on an app I use a lot called Endomondo (fitness app). Gives me the "Not Connected to your Phone..." and I want to run without my phone, just the Gear S. Any chance that someone has verified that that app can run standalone with this mod?

Looking forward to destroying my Gear S (because I'll probably screw this up) or getting it working the way I want it to work!!!
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Just install it with Odin, and then reinstall the Google Apps with TWRP. No need to wipe anything!

I did what you told and it's working great. Besides that I still have that bug on the touchscreen, which stop working after some time. How am I supposed to record a logcat to help you out?

I'm New to This, Please Advise...

Hi,

I'm going to apologize up front if this isn't the correct place to ask questions or leave feedback on the Gear S Android Port. :silly: Sorry I'm totally new to this but wanted to actually use this Gear S and I think after today I finally think this thing is cool and worth using.

1st question: Themes. Are there any concerns about downloading certain CM Themes from Play Store? Do they have to be compatible with Android 5.1? (see, this is probably a dumb question...)

2nd question: Application launcher (the Back/Home/Running Apps at the bottom of the screen). Is there a setting where I can make that Auto Hide or even go transparent like it does on the home screen? A couple of the apps I use won't scroll so I can't see a good chunk of important stuff at the bottom of the screen.

3rd question: Has there been any testing on the Heart Rate Monitor functionality?

4th question: Probably just T Mobile lying about the watch, but I swear it was 4g. Now only shows 3g. Any ideas or information on that?

This is a really, really big jump in capabilities for the watch. You've made it worth using. It's actually a stand alone device now. For me, I run a lot and i verified that the GPS works with my long time running application Endomondo. Would like to get the Heart Rate Monitor working but I'm going to test out with Bluetooth and a chest strap monitor which would be just fine too.

Thanks for doing this work!!
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
1st: No need to worry about themes, just go to the Play Store and search for Cm 12 themes. Almost all of them will be OK. Actually I have never downloades any that brought me any bug.

2nd: Don't know but if you come to know, Pm me :) because the only one that I know needs xposed installed, sooo.

3rd: Not at all, I've been testing a lot of fitness apps and none of them seems to work with the hardware heartbeat sensor.

4th: Mine is just 3g and every single watch that I have ever seen is 3g, but yours can be a newer version, idk. By the way, I live in Brazil and bought mine here, maybe that's the reason.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

Hello guys, I'v been playing around with my watch, trying different kernel settings to get a better battery life without freezing all the system. To be honest I didn't get any great result.

The only thing that I could do is to let it very slow and then save some battery. But the weirdest thing is how much juice it drains in deep sleep (I mean, when I press the power button and let it sleep.) It drains the average of 7~10%/h. Is it deep sleeping? Yeah.

I'm not a genius on this and I would accept some help to achieve any config that let it drains just a little bit less juice.

Trying to get back to tizen and could use some help.

my model is R750W, I was running firmware R750WVLU1BOC1 before going to android. I made the sysdata backup as per the instructions and moved to android without a problem. But now that I'm trying to get back i can't seem to get it to work. When I flash the Tizen Recovery v2 file biktor posted everything seems fine it even boots up completely fine. When I flash my sysdata file it then goes into a bootloop with a debug error.

I then downloaded the firmware from sammobile and flashed it and then my sysdata and again, no go.

Flashing just the firmware doesn't boot like the recovery file does. So i'm not sure how to move on from here, any help would greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
No need to flash the system-data partition, just flash my recovery firmware and hard reset (recovery option from bootloader) and you're good to go. The system-data partition backup was a backup measure just in case there were problems :)

After flashing the recovery firmware flash the one you want and it should update normally, please tell me if it doesn't!

Heart rate monitor doesn't work right now, I just started programming the sensor code and right now I'm with the geomagnetic sensor, besides the accelerometer none of them work yet.

If you're running the watch with a sim look for an app that switches to gprs/edge when the screen goes off, that made my watch last for about 4 more hours than keeping it in 3g mode. You might also want to disable wifi always on mode from the settings...
[Samsung Gear S] Medic97:
Yknow I thought I could do that but wasn't sure. I was following the youtube video which said I needed to flash my sysdata backup file. :eek: Wish I didn't waste 5 hours on this for nothing.

Well it worked just fine, which means I can go back and forth without a problem. Other than the setup being in German my restore worked fine.

Edit: Spoke too soon, after I set everything up the way I want it. The watch crashed and reset itself, then I couldn't get it to run the setup completely. Trying another firmware now to see if that helps.
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
As I used to use my watch as a fitness tracker, to measure the speed, heartbeat, distance, speed and etc on Tizen, it's better wait a while till you finish the sensors codes so I can start using it again as a fitness gadget!

One more question Bicktor_gj, are you playing around with kernel settings? Have you archieve some good configuration?
[Samsung Gear S] LDClarke:
Hi.

I am a computer forensics university student and I am currently creating a project on how to do data acquisition from the Samsung Gear S. I intend to be able to create a full image of the device so it can be analysed. So far the only way I can see this is to route the device and then use the SDB pull command to pull of files and directories. Do you have any suggestions on how to preform data acquisition on the gear S that will allow me to gain all user data and meta data without the need to route it? any suggestions will be extremely useful.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Not right, now, I'm just working on the sensor library. More exactly, with the orientation sensor and the light sensor. The gyro starts to work a bit, although moving in the wrong direction :) but I want rotation and the automatic backlight level before I move to the heart rate monitor, which will probably be the hardest to implement.

I come back to the bluetooth audio now and then but it is sooooo boring...
