Updates?

Who can tell le Updated news of this CM on gear s?

I mean it is worth to try to install it?

What is working and what is not working?

What about the drain battery?

Does the battery last like tizen?

Any detailed informa will be wellcome

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
How long the battery?

I have sm-r750 France

Do you think i will have only the issue you have?

There a way to keep change after reboot or just never reboot it?

What about

Boot paths:*Normal/Recovery/Charge: Charge mode starts and stops : Is it ok now?

Display: ALPM hardware mode : is it fixed

Audio: bluetooth headset doesn't : is it fixed

Sensors: which ones are not working?

Power management: Partially working : what it the issue

Thermal control: partial ; is it fixed now?

Sorry for all those questions.

I wonder why Tizen from Smartphone with tizen store is not port instead of android wear?

It will not be more compatible and easier to have all the functionality working on gear s?

I am sure everybody understood that tizen of smartwach is a Light Tizen of Smartphone as android wear is for android

It seems also that tizen has a better power management

Is there any reason why tizen is not interested by devs?
[Samsung Gear S] joytest:
I will answer your battery life question....c'est merde.

Lasts at most 7 hours. I had to bring my charger today to charge it in the office at 3pm.

I only installed M2D receiver and No-Frills CPU control. I will test again tomorrow and see if underclocking to 600mhz will improve battery life.

Wifi works, bluetooth work (connected for internet to my phone), Play Store works.

If you watched the videos by Jayson Khoo, almost everything works. You just need to live with the crap battery life.
[Samsung Gear S] :
I'm setting this up for a friend who didn't like how limited the Gear S was.

Keep in mind this is unfinished so if you have any fear of losing your watch don't do it. At least till it's complete.

From my time with the watch (I do things and let him try it out for a few days) the battery seems to last 3 to 5 hours of on screen time with me using it with about an hour to fully charge. That's better than I expected. I had the power management set to aggressive to see how snappy it could run. So I haven't compared the different power settings yet.

***For the system settings, I'm not sure. I may have messed up something when playing around. I will likely clear data and reflash soon to see if that solves it. If I don't reboot then the watch keeps it's settings. I did notice that when booting in twrp that certain operations give an error to mounting recovery. ***

*** I have fixed the settings problem by rebooting into twrp and wiping data

Sensors are working but not always correct.

Bluetooth headset does not work yet.

I have not tried AW. My friend wants android.

I first used the other guide to root the watch when Tisen was still on it. It then had root and twrp.

After I flashed using Odin the Cm image.

Then downloaded the gapps from the link provided just under the Cm link to my phone.

Then rebooted and flashed gapps via twrp.

Sorry I can't answer more specifically. I'm not a developer, I just enjoy doing these types of things

Just be very careful and try to have a working backup of Tisen before you jump. Mine is corrupt so I'll be hoping not to go back lol.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
Cest merde? You are at least honest and i thank you i think i should stay away until the battery is better.

I wonder why not port Tizen of samsung smartphone instead of android. I understood that tizen is a fork of or at least beased on android
[Samsung Gear S] joytest:
It seems that underclocking the CPU to 384MHz/300MHz has extended the battery life.

6h30m and I still have 38%, which should last me another 2 hours at least.

App used is No-Frills CPU Control. Root is enabled in CM12.1.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
But what is the default clocking of gear S under its genuine Tizen?

Underclocking means less responsive or slower?

The way i used my gear battery lasts 2 days at least and if I hardly used it at least 1 day or 1.5 day.

What is The point for such a port if it kills battery ? Again smartphone's Tizen is not better to make tje gear s a smartphone standalone et better battery ?
[Samsung Gear S] joytest:
In No Frills, it shows 998MHz as the default max, which corresponds to the published spec of the Qualcomm CPU.

I was one of the first people in the world to get the Gear S at a pre-launch event back in Oct 2014.

I believe I wrote the first English OWNER review of the Gear S as well.

After the initial euphoria of the new device, I found that at most I used the step counter, occasional bluetooth music and tested the GPS a few times.

Even under Tizen, battery was crap if you turned on 3G, at most 12-16hours.

It got EVEN WORSE with GPS, probably 3hrs max if you went running with GPS.

Wifi connectivity did not work well and Samsung never bothered fixing it.

After about 3 months, it became mostly a watch for me, with the use of the step counter to see how many paces I walked that day.

I felt the notifications weren't all that useful....I'd still end up pulling out my phone.

In my opinion, I feel that is what most wearables end up doing. Step counter/heartrate tracker + glorified notifications screen + watch.

When Android port arrived, it promised the power of full Android on your wrist. Another dream, really!!

However, 2" is way too small for meaningful interaction, and 1-handed interaction with stubby fingers on a 2" screen is also crap.

But it allows access to the full Android ecosystem, and that is a major plus. It also frees us from the stupid lockdown tyranny of Samsung for needing it to only pair with another Samsung PHONE FFS!!!! I can't even pair it with my Samsung Tab S !!!

Whichever marketing idiot(s) who made that decision should be drawn and quartered.

One day, technology *will* let us have high resolution projection screens on our wrists with improved interaction and multi-day battery life.

That, I feel, is when a wearable will be truly useful and even replace the smartphone formfactor device, and perhaps even our traditional PC device.

Having said all of that, as at 9h of usage today, I still have 23% battery left.

I'm happy with the underclock, gives me my Gear S back, and lets me experiment if I do wish.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
I understand your view but i think all bugs doesnt worth it if battery is so short and we have to minimize our use to keep the battery and I also understood that settings are not kept if turned off.

Why make a smartwatch a smartphone if at the en en can do less or nothing new with Android port.

I am ok it is very interesting to get all google play store 's app thus is why I am interested in this android but I wonder if it is not a mistake to have chosen Android insteat of Tizen

Tizen can be paired with other non samsung devices like it is with gear manager and also it seem that Tizen is compatible with iphone like Gear S2 and tizen store seem to have some useful applications and we can port any android apps to a tizen app.

Thanks for your review but i think this Android port is not very interested for the moment and I dont think it will be one day if we slow the responsiveness by underclocking with such a drained battery.

Tizen os (from tizen smartphone) would be more interested and may avoid those issues.

But again nice job for this port although it make the gear S less valuable and less performant and less fonctional and less etc... lol
[Samsung Gear S] topcaser:
So you will get probably something around 11 h out of the battery. May I ask you which connections you are using?

[Samsung Gear S] joytest:
I'm using Bluetooth to tether to my Mi Max. Only installed apps are M2D Receiver and No-Frills.

Btw anyone know how to take a screenshot with the CM12.1 on the Gear S?
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
I used bluetooth to pair it and earphone but I guess if the gear is standalone with Android I dont need to sync notification if apps are on my gear

and the bluetooth can be only used for earphones

I also use 3G/H+ for internet because I have a very cheap contract with a huge amount of data lol (20Go)

I dont use a lot wifi except for transfering files but is rare

How long the battery will lasts with only 3G/G+ activated? And will be a big difference with Bluetooth enable to the network?

I think I will need to charge it the every night right? I will be very interested if I can charge it the day after I mean put the battery-dock the following afternoon or noon to charge it.

Do you thing it is possible ?
[Samsung Gear S] sootyhippo:
is a factory reset needed?

Thanks Biktor for your great work!
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
Can we get feedback aboout the battery please with this latest update?
[Samsung Gear S] risoobeon:
I don't think anyone could give accurate feedback on battery after this short a time as it's only been a few hours since upload. But I'm sure it'll be as good if not better than the last test image I have done.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
I didnt ask it right now lol but when it is possible

What test image you did and where I can see it?

I am confused because some say it last around 5h and other say around 10H and one say 16h

I wonder if those people are talking about the sams OS, I mean Android full or android wear.

If someone can be more helpful to me to figure it out
[Samsung Gear S] leonkryst:
Android wear

will this work on SM-R750S, korean variant, SK telecom?

software version: R750XXU2BOK1
[Samsung Gear S] Xabiman:
Hello and first of all thank you very much for your work with Gear S. Actually I use Tizen and I'd like to flash last update of Android Wear of yesterday to use my Gear S SM-R750 paired with my Note 3 by Bluetooth (no sim at watch). I've read all the posts of this thread but I have some questions about yesterday update of Android Wear Port:

1. Is actually possible to make and receive calls using watch's sound?

2. Is Google Now working paired by Bluetooth with phone?

3. What about battery life only paired by Bluetooth to the phone to use notifications, some whatsapps, sometimes Google Now and disabling step counter, fit, Wifi and no sim at watch?

Thank you very much!
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
Q1...no Q2...yes Q3...for me 15hrs of real world use replying to WhatsApp etc...brightness always max and no apps disabled.

hope that helps.

note these battery stats relate to previous build, not had enough time to test latest version though early thoughts are positive.
[Samsung Gear S] Xabiman:
Thanks for your reply. Is there anyone who has the new update who can confirm calls using watch's audio still not working? Is there any fix or solution to solve this? Thank you very much again.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
Do you use 3G/H+ during those 15hr?

If you do a test with the new update

Can you try how long it lasts with only 3G/bluetooth vs 3g/wifi vs wifi alone?

I want to know which one bluetooth or wifi use the less battery

I want to know also if adding to 3g drained a lot battery

In other word which one use more battery:

3g or wifi for gear s apps connections ?

Wifi or bluetooth for smartphone apps notification?

I will deeply be thankful if someone do tests the best combination to maximise battery
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
the watch doesn't have sim/3g capabilities on the wear port, the cm12 port does support sim/3g capabilities of the watch.

wear is Bluetooth/WiFi only.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
You mean this thead is only android WEAR port?
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
no , the dev and q & a threads are for both cm12 and Wear
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
Yes but it seems no body used CM but only AW and I if I can use the 3g of my sim card on gear to text call reply internet etc... I dont think AW can be usefull

And I guess if you have 10hours of battery with AW i guess with 3G it will be worse but no body can give feedbacks on it

I am sad
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
for me the watch is a handy tool for reminders,replying to notifications and sending messages while on the move. I guess everyone has different needs of what they want a smartwatch to do.

in your case maybe stock tizen is best?
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
Yes i think stay on gear Tizen is best in that case if no 3g sim card supported this is why I was wondering why the tizen from smartphones is not ported to get 3g sim card support

Change a gear s to a simple android wear it doesnt make sense. I can understand for a gear 1 or gear 2 to change tizen wear to android wear but not for a 3G gear.

My aim was to use the gear s as standalone watch and by reading few replies I understood it was the cas and I was happy to see more that 10hr of battery

But I realised that everybody is talking about AW and not AOSP And I think the title should be change of this thread and specify ANdroid Wear because AOSP since no body use CM and there is no more update since february.

Thank all for your time to reply
[Samsung Gear S] DJ_Mic:
How can i wipe my gear s?`

I updated to the latest android wear update, and if i make a Factory Reset on twrp, it seems not to work.

The loading screen is running yet about 5 mins. and my gear is getting really hot
[Samsung Gear S] joytest:
Dude... 3G on Tizen gave at most 16hrs, with step counter enabled.

3G + music was at most 12hrs.

Currently CM12.1 lasted 11h30m and it was 5% for today, on bluetooth.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
Seriously?

You mean CM with 3G (call reply etc...) we can get 12-13hr

I dont use healthy app like step counter etc I disabled it

If you try to say with CM it last 12h or more without step counter i may try it

But in your 11h30 do you used 3g for calls and reply with Bluetooth? Do you think wifi instead of 3g can increase battery (home wifi instead of 3G when outside)

Can you tell me what is not working on CM12 please
[Samsung Gear S] joytest:
I did not use 3G on CM12.

As I said yesterday, I used bluetooth to my phone, and received Whatsapp notifications with an underclocked CPU.

I did say that even with Tizen, 3G lasts at max up to 16hr if you don't make calls, but use the 3G/H+ for data.
[Samsung Gear S] AizenKnower:
Sorry but without calls and 3g and wifi and Bluetooth believe me it last more than 1 days.

But it is fine I think I definitively stay on tizen. It seems it lasts less than 5h-6h with 3g. No point.

Thanks for your time
[Samsung Gear S] :
I have running CM, haven't tried AW.

Not my watch so I don't get to choose.

I don't see the battery lasting beyond 5-6 hours of on-screen time. In the time I've been using it. This is without phone service. I'm still impressed by this don't get me wrong.

But these batteries are quite small so whatever mod you attempt is likely to kill it pretty fast.

Honestly though after having had the chance to use a Gear S, I won't buy one. And once my friend decides which OS he wants, I won't work with one again lol.

Tisen should not exist. Samsung should have stuck with Android Wear or designed something that doesn't require a leash to only a limited amount of phones.

My friend paid a good price and wasn't happy with Tisen, and he had to get a new phone just to use it. Hopefully I can help him regain some usefulness out of his watch that he's stuck with. These mods do that.

In the end though if you like how Tisen runs then why change it.
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
For all of you guys who are seeking watchfaces, I found out a way to pimp that just the way I want it. You I'll only need facer installed and account created and you can go on their websites on your computer and it will allow you to create watchfaces that fits just fine in our watches, uploading images or using the ones they already got there. And the best of all this is that you can share with us the ones you have already created.

First of all, THANK YOU very much for all your awesome work here!

I guess that your little girl sleeps pretty well at night, right?! :angel: Otherwise, you would have no time to make these awesome advancements :good:

Regarding your blessed work, I wonder if I can flash it into my brand new SM-R750B

Here is a list of firmware suitable with it: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-R750B/

God bless you and your family! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:

Thank you very much! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
Yes, you can flash it without any problems! My watch is the same model as yours and I flashed both systems wihout worries (CM and AW)

Good look!
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
Thanks bro.. battery life is good for you?
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
The build before the last was great when talking about battery life, It used to least all day long with not major uses, like one voice command here and there and a few notifications. The last one I've been using since the release and it completed all missing features and today I did the battery test and because of the wrist gesture it didn't stand all day long (took it of the power at 8:30AM and it leasted until 6:00PM) and tomorrow I'll be testing it with the wrist gesture off and I'll see how it goes. Anyway, only thing I expect from this battery is to least 12 hours or more because I think it doesn't make any sense charging the watch or stop using it along the day.

Anyway, even if I don't get what I expect I'll still stick with it because that's what brought my hope back to this watch, wich was already collecting dust in my drawer. Thanks AGAIN [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
I got 12hrs with the gesture on. brightness on level 4, so slightly less than last build.. super stable and fluid .loving it.
[Samsung Gear S] leonkryst:
does anyone with SM-R750S(korean variant, SK Telecom) tried to port Android Wear?

or can anyone confirm if i can port Android wear on my watch variant thanks!:)
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
I guess it all depends on wich movements you make during the day.
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
Thanks for sharing your impressions! Appreciate.

I wonder if is there any straight forward steps to get the latest rom installed over tinzen..

I'm just asking for you, because we share the same watch model, the B variant.
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
You just need to save your system file and keep it safe in case you want to go straight back to tizen with some codes via adb. Then you'll fash twrp and then you'll be able to flash the aw image. After flashed it and before it boots up, go to twrp and flash data, otherwise it won't boot.

It may sound complicated but it isn't, just search on YouTube a video that explains step by step how to install Cm12. Just follow those steps because it is exactly the same steps, you just need to flash the aw image instead of cm and you'll be good.

Just share your success with us later. :D
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
Thanks bro! I gonna give it a shot :good:
[Samsung Gear S] volly11:
i flash the port but how i can make factory reset after flash by recovery its fail and when i make advanced wipe and check all wipe another fail plz tell me how i can make that thx 2 all

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

i ask and replay thx to allah for that i make factory reset after full boot my watch befor that my watch make alot of restart but after factory reset all things is well thx to all dev for this work

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

i have another problem when i make my watch screen of by click the home screen the watch make restart
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
have you turned off "screen always on" in the settings menu? if not try that and see if it helps.
[Samsung Gear S] volly11:
Method works well but for the battery end quickly Are there any settings for my gear s you recommend
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
I think biktor said he has some of the modem code enabled in the latest build which is taking its toll on the battery life.

as far as settings go to extend the battery life if you find some please let me know.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
I'm currently working on bringing up battery life, it was time for round 2 :)

If I shut down the modem, and inform the sensor controller when the watch is sleeping, along some other stuff, I'm possitive I could get to 24 hours of standby time on Wear. Now that would be amazing, wouldn't it?

Bonus for those who read past the first line: Palm down gesture working, now you can put wear to sleep by putting your hand over the screen!

If this is to be believed, I'm in the right direction, 2.5 hours, 12 % with tilt sensor on & wifi, that is roughly about 50% for 10 hours, but I think I can squeeze it at least a bit more :)
[Samsung Gear S] Jnioms:
biktor, i love you <3

I have been watching everything and now i am ready to start testing and give a hand with what i can.

I never put my gear s in download mode and never used ODIN (on my watch, with my phone i have experience), so i want to make a backup of everythin i can before start breaking my watch. Is anyone kind enough to give me instructions in how to backup my wath in case i break something? I am currently downloading the tizen sdk, but i would need help into backuping my system-data partitions (and if someone could help me make a full dump of my system, as it currently isn't in sammobile, it would be even better).

Thank you very much guys! :)
[Samsung Gear S] sootyhippo:
Keep up the good work Biktor! Thanks for all you effort.

Better batterylife would be good, don't mind too much about all the gestures, drives me mad to had my screen on evertyime I move my arm. ;)
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]

I'm so eager to see the results you got from your latest tweaks! :)

Hopefully any new will come up from you to the weekend :D
[Samsung Gear S] lauerp:
That's what I'm waiting for as well
[Samsung Gear S] speedme:
don't hold your breath guys, because Biktor has a lot more important things to do......changing diapers that is :)

But seriously, give the man some slack guys.

I'm sure he will contribute again to this fine community when he's up for it.

In the meantime, enjoy his work or even better : continue his work.
[Samsung Gear S] chuckiler:
Same here. Excited to take the plunge but anyone know if my variant is Supported?

it has firmware R750XXU2BOG2.

Edit: looks like it's the same as the italian firmware too.. i suppose it should work.

Edit: It does work!!!

No more SK telecom logo.. most things work.

I used the Heimdall instructions that i read in this thread somewhere and it flashed successfully.

I didn't go into recovery and wipe. i just did a factory reset and it seems to be fine.

Only important feature i'm dying for (as everybody else) is BT audio on calling and recieveing calls.

Thank you for your brilliant work.
[Samsung Gear S] delboi:
Hey biktor does this mean the sensors are going to be working on the cm build?

Cheers
