I might or might not be able to make Wear run correctly depending on one thing and one thing only... the old and obsolete Adreno libraries for the GPU.

I will try to explain it in depth. At this point you'll already know, Android wear is not opensource, and doesn't have any opensource variant, so I'm stuck with whatever companies publish in binary form (factory images, OTAs, user made backups from other watches).

All these watches use the same processor as the Gear 2, but the kernel code is much newer than what we have (3.10 on Wear vs 3.4 on Gear S). That shouldn't be a problem itself, since Android can boot perfectly fine on both kernel versions, but, and here comes the bad part, both the Adreno display kernel driver, and all the video libraries in Android wear are newer than what we can run on the device.

With the Gear 2, this isn't an issue, because the GPU is a Mali, uses a different set of libraries, and lucky me, Surfaceflinger didn't have any dependency issue with the Mali libraries.

All the crashes you see in the Gear S sample image I posted (which was just a proof of concept anyway), come exactly from the Surfaceflinger. To make Wear work, I had to downgrade all the video libraries, and also had to replace every dependency from the video libraries, most notably, libsurfaceflinger, libui and libgui. These libraries are at the center of Android's video subsystem, and it makes the entire OS completely unstable.

So this is my plan:

Try to make Cyanogenmod 13 build without errors. Right now it's full of problems, I guess the same problems Rox is having bringing up CM13 to the S3 Neo (https://github.com/Rox-)

When that is running fine, start clean with Wear 6 image, and only work on video. If that works fine, then keep on with the rest (except for the modem that I don't know, everything else should be quite easy for me at this point). In some other scenario, I would make a dedicated thread for Wear on the device, but I think it's too soon to know if I'll be able to make the OS stable.

I really hope so (I really like the watch but preffer Wear over android for a watch, and I want my battery life back), but it will all come down to the video subsystem working correctly, and probably the modem too, since it's impossible to make modifications to the RIL layer on Wear... one problem at a time :)

Gear S with CM12 and fitness

Hello guys, how are you? So, I've been playing with my watch with this system for a while(almost 3 moths) and I have achieved a plenty of things that I wanted to do with it but one thing: To use it as a fitness watch (didn't expect too much, only the path, distance and time) as I used to do with Tizen.

But it doesn't seems to work as it should, because the gps, even after took about 10 minutes to lock on the map, it gets far away of being accurate. Can someone help me out with it?

Thank you.

First of all, thank you for your unique, wonderful and amazing :D :D :D :D :D work!

I wonder if it would be possible to make UV sensor work on CM12.1 or CM13..

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
[MENTION=7199441]tritus[/MENTION] Thanks man!!

[MENTION=3855785]andrew.mackew[/MENTION]: unfortunately no, the Android framework doesn't support UV sensors at all. I could make it act as a proximity sensor, but it wouldn't have much use :)

In fact, even if I make the HRM & step counter sensors work fully, I don't think we'll be able to use them outside of Android Wear. Google fit & Shealth don't even try to turn those sensors on (maybe Runtastic does but haven't checked)

I guess it will all come down to wether you want a phone or a watch on your wrist!
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
Thanks [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] for your prompt reply! :good: :good: :good: :good: You are a nice person and best dev ever! :good: :good: :good: :good:

Well, for sure I can go without UV sensor using any of your developments Android or Wear that is, from far, much better than Trashinzen :D

You told on Dev Thread that would release a new build with latest fixes for sensors, right? I didn't find it there, I wonder if you already did it.

Once more a HUUUUGE thanks! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
I was going to... But when it built it wouldn't fully boot! One of the tests I did with audio broke something in the tree and it ended up crashing. I still haven't found time to look deep into it, but I think it's the ALSA legacy mode falling apart. Once I fix that I will post the image and update the first post :)

I bought my Gear S just for CM12.1. Big thanks for your amazing rom!

I have some questions.

Q1. In this thread, people sometimes says about Android Wear has been ported to Gear S by you, biktor. But I can't find any links to the rom in OP. I assume it's because it is still in early alpha stage, right? I'd really love to see AW in my Gear S.

Q2. My Gear's battery lasts less than 1.5 hours(SOT) on CM12.1. Is this normal? I didn't install gapps, and I almost always turn on airplane mode.

Q3. If I want to go back to Tizen, can I just flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/pu44524rv2vn9st/TizenRecovery_v2.zip this via odin? Some guides say I have to backup some things by flashing the TWRP only and using ADB. I forgot to do that. Is it okay to just flash the Tizenrecovery?

[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Q1: It was more a proof of concept than anything else, crashes all the time, so it's just to see that it boots, how it would look and then go back to something usable :)

Q2: it could be more or less normal... To be fair, I've never done the test with screen on, since CPU is up all the time while the screen is on. On average, with a SIM on 2G (not hspa) I get about 16 hours of runtime with casual use

Q3: yes, that recovery is made just for that case scenario. Remember to do a factory reset after you flash it and you'll be good to go!
[Samsung Gear S] ddaggebi:
Thanks for the answer! I'll just be in this good CM12.1 untill AW MM is ported. It is stable and usable for now.
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
It's very stable no bug for me with build40. Thanks to biktor_gj once again.

hello~ I just successfully changed from tizen to android.

This is not android wear yet right? Btw, I am having issues with google play; doesnt seem to be loading. And the watch gets hot easily. Battery life not up to expectation.
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
It's Cyanogenmod. Full Android Wear is in the works though. Make sure you're using the Play Services listed in the first post on the development thread - those are the ones people are having success with. Also, the power/heating issues are known. Build #40 I thought fixed a bit of that, but I could be mistaken.
[Samsung Gear S] skyred5:
Yeah I realized that too. I was actually following the video tutorial on YouTube and the uploaded link file was using build #40, but I have updated to the latest one released last month. 3G works, but not sure why sms doesn't.

I have also tried out android wear. Pretty amazing for an unstable port of Android wear. Can't wait to see the stable release.
[Samsung Gear S] teknomanelvis:
When the android wear is good to go, is there any apps like s health or an s health port that work good. I really enjoy the sleep tracker on s health
[Samsung Gear S] primod808:
Once the developer ports the android wear marshmellow to the gear s it's possible you can try other aw health apps to see if it works. Remember because it's a port, sensors like the heart rate monitor on the gear s may not function yet until further development has been made. Me personally I'm just greatful just the thought of having/ getting AW on our gear s makes me so excited. Keep reading the post book mark it to stay up to date on the matter. Peace.

Installation guide

Hi Guys, is There a step by step guide for dummies How to install the Android wear Port?
[Samsung Gear S] djbrotherson:
I'd backup my data first in the Gear app

Now to flash the file...

Hold down the main watch button until it reboots

As the screen goes dark, rapidly press the home button until you come to a menu

Push the botton a couple of times to select download mode then hold the button down to select it

Load up Odin and use the AP button to select the file to flash

Flash it

Reboot

If I'm wrong, someone correct me

Get back to tizen is difficult?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
No. And if you follow instructions there is no reason to have a problem. Android Wear is really better than Tizen. If Gear S 2 has AW why Gear S dont have too... :/
[Samsung Gear S] Pookybär:
it doesn't matter if you had tizen or cm 12.1 installed...

press the button as long as the display shows rebooting, instantly press it once more to get to a little menu thats shows: continue, download, recovery, power off

press the button again to select download, press it long enough for the displays show: downloading, do not turn off target! download the wear image with odin on the watch

here's the bit tricky part as for some people there seems to be trouble... before i booted aw the first time, i wiped data by entering the menu again but instead select download

you select recovery. there will be a bluescreen (not the windows one ;)) and after that a menu with options for install, wipe, etc... here you can wipe data as for me this was

important because i couldn't sync the gear with my phone.

IF you get a problem with an infinite bootloop (samsung logo again and again) like me at first try, don't panic there is an recovery image you can find in the dev thread by biktor_gj <- genius!

http://xdaforums.com/gear-s/development/dev-gear-s-android-port-t3177740 with the recovery image you are back with tizen, almost like new.

sooo after data wipe you can boot android wear, don't forget to disable the display always on option in the wear settings! there you go...

Unfortunately, I think bictor is not concentrating on CM build currently.... :crying:
[Samsung Gear S] jimmcghee:
Just installed Android Wear and it's great!! Really impressive. I can now do everything I could do on my LG G watch only I can now do it on a MUCH larger and brighter screen. Lovin it.

But of course, I have a couple of questions. ;)

I first installed CM 12.1, then I installed AW with Oden and wiped cache, dalvic, and data with twrp.

Now, after I turn off the watch, when I press the menu button to boot, it always boots to twrp. Not sure when this behavior started.

It's not a big deal because I just touch reboot/system and it then loads AW. Just wondering what I did wrong. Or is it supposed to do that??

Also, after I wiped data in twrp, it said I didn't have root installed and did I want to install it. Should I have? What will root gain me in AW? Will it even work?

Thanks again for all that HARD WORK.
[Samsung Gear S] Kingdom3533:
I would love to install AW on my gear s :) , comming from Tizen but I'm a bit concerned about the going back. Is it possible to make a backup of the watch and can I do somthing else to make the going back easier or do I realy just have to flash the recovery image ? :o
[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:
All I've ever done for the port and last week for the wear image was flash the image file in Odin, then to go back I flash tizenrecovery-v2, change the language, then factory reset.....done. Only difference for the wear image is I go to 'reset gear' first, then flash wear. That recovery image has worked about 10 or 12 times for me without any incident.

[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Hi,

The picture you posted shows that that firmware was not made, either for your device, or the revision of your device. I know it because it happened the exact thing to me too. It's failing because the bootloader bundled in that image is incompatible with your device, and before killing your watch, you receive an Authorization failed message (better than getting a brick ;)). That's why my restore image doesn't contain either Bootloader or TrustedZone firmware.

Questions:

1. Did you flash your system-data partition after flashing TizenRestore_full?

2. Did you factory reset (Recovery from bootloader menu) after flashing your system-data partition? This is done to fix permission issues on the user partition, it might be the reason why it's crashing...

3. Have you removed (and reinstalled) Gear Manager app on your S6 so it doesn't attempt to restore any backup?

4. Have you removed the bluetooth pairing you previously had on your phone so Gear Manager doesn't remember it?

By the way, you're trying to reflash the same firmware my Tizen restore package is based on, so you should be fine just using the pack I posted (yes, the modem will work correctly too)
[Samsung Gear S] snagix:
Thank you for your fast response¡¡¡

1- I flash my previous extracted system-data partition

2-Yes I did it as well

3-No, I keep the current version in order to see if i can recover my s healt registries and so on, now it's restoring at 89 %, if finally don't come full connected, I'll try.

4-I did this step several times when I was trying.

Thank yoy very much, I'll try to uninstall and install gear manager if the current restoration doesn't work.

I'll post the results

Unlocking AT&T bootloader

So i have read a few guides and some state..

The thread specifies that AT&T models have locked bootloaders, so you will have to get it unlocked to even start thinking about this.

So when they state you have to get the bootloader unlocked .. Does that mean have Carrier unlock the phone? That doesnt make sense to me.. That would only allow you to use the AT&T Gear S watch on other GSM networks not Make it CDMA...

Currently there is no way to unlock the AT&T bootloader correct?

No carrier unlocking would just mean it's sim is unlocked bootloader is something entirely different.

Seems next LTE LG urban watch 2nd edition will be the beast to beat!Will come with Android wear and 4G connectivity thanks to a microsim...and will be a standalone watch(Speaker support,etc...)

Compatible Models

Hi,

I wonder which model numbers are compatible with this android ROM?

I actually need an android watchphone and I'm going to buy Gear S just for this ROM.
[Samsung Gear S] jimmcghee:
Not sure what you're asking. The Verizon, Sprint, and ATT version of the watch have a locked bootloader so you can't put any new rom on them.

Mine is the T-Moble version and it works fine.
[Samsung Gear S] jimmcghee:
Now that I think about, I'm not sure about Sprint. Someone please correct me if the Sprint bootloader is not locked.
[Samsung Gear S] sam5154:
thanks for your reply.

I mean that there are lots of variants in model number, RM-750, RM-750A and ...

and even I read somewhere in this topic of a model with EXYNOS chip.

anyway it seems that sellers in here all have RM-750.
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
Strange thing : now watch doesn't boot automaticaly to twrp and charge without boot to twrp too. Just before watch bug (vibrate at boot) so I keep power button to reboot it and since that no pb with twrp... Very strange!

PS : I do a Tetris watchface with facer that fit perfectly with Gear S.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Mine is a SM-R750Z (thats what says on the box) and the model number in the watch is just SM-R750

Kernel wise, I don't think it would boot (dts board file inconsistencies and config differences), and even then, neither android wear or cyanogenmod are bundled with CDMA support, so even if it boots, Modem will probably be a untestable (and unfixable by me) no-go, because even if I got me one of these, I wouldn't get network coverage anywhere...

So, if you want to play safe, stick to international GSM version, or TMobile. By all means, avoid Verizon & AT&T models
