That's what i'm talking about :)

I really appreciate your time and support guys , now i'm one step closer to "OMG what happen...." :) situations ... you know ... the little fear feeling mixed with adrenaline and ... whatever you have on hand ...

Final line of Q:

1. What if during the process i miss some of these multi-pres-push-per-time button action ? Can i reboot simply by holding the button and repeat the step , because between step 2 or 3 and 4-5 there is specific WARNING saying to press after the reboot to get in mode you need ... but nothing about if you miss to get in ... you can reboot and try again or ... Game Over

2. I have no fresh video experience about latest CM40 version and i'm curious about:

Is there any heart rate thing working on it ? i mean any , not specifically S Health one , but 3rd party one or whatever....

Working step counter app ?

What about the screensaver "watch face" things , the wake up and sleep issue ?

What about the data via LTE working fine ?

How long it lasts with and without GSM network with normal usage on CM40 (battery life)?

I'm quite a fan of "the new thing" feeling , so some bugs and freezing and rebooting and so on is normal so i'm fine with it.

The only thing i'll sorry about is HERE Maps because its the best GPS map s#!7 out there.... Nokia rulz :P

Hi everyone, special thanks to biktor and the rest of you guys helping out with the dev process, I know its not easy, but I think it would be best if there was a noob proof flashing guide to both the android wear, and the cm versions, just my opinion...thanks all
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
[MENTION=1384061]thefan[/MENTION] - If you read the first post of this forum, it states what's working/not working/in development. One of the items that's not working are the biometric sensors (talked about somewhere between page 70-90 of this forum.) The battery life varies between users, but a majority get about a day with minimal GSM use. As for #1 - if you do miss the button pushes, you could get into the boot-loop scenario. If you do, just follow the steps from the others who replied back to you. Also, the 2nd post of this forum has a good list of tips on how to get out of it. I've personally never had the boot-loop, but when flashing roms, I watch the device like a hawk. :) Too many close calls in the past.

Also, to be THAT guy :), Q&A should really be posted in the dedicated Q&A thread below. This thread is supposed to be related to development topics only.

[Samsung Gear S] runningwarrior08:
1) The watch has incorrectly timed reset bit and it is possible if you miss the "reboot now and double press" timing you could go into a bootloop, or get stuck on a samsung screen(some have adb use in this screen like I did). Bootloops on the other hand if you want more info read post 2 of this thread.

2)Biometrics/sensors are still in development and do not work, as stated in the first post.

The watch does not support LTE if I remember correctly but it supports HSDPA which is 3g on steroids. I could be wrong on this one. But it does work at least on ATT and T mobile based carriers with the Tmobile variant unlocked.

Screensavers, well it's full android and not made for a watch. Anything that wakes the watch or keeps it out of deep sleep will cause battery drain. Daydream is what we used now and Biktor hacked it to make it work when not charging.

Battery life is so different for every person I cant really answer but expect less than a day. Some 4 hours other 10 to 12. Really depends on your wakelocks.

This is full android and if HERE has an app in the market you can use it. I am pretty sure the GPS works on this but it turns it into a nice arm toaster.

Remember there are still plenty of bugs but it is usable, but I do not use it as my daily driver I use the S2(which is meh, but it has sim capability which I need)

Myself and others will give support as much as needed when it comes to issues.

Overall the difficulty of flashing in the current state is not too bad, I have been in a few bootloops that I think I have the timing down pretty good to get out of them now :D, when I don't feel like getting my jumper that is.

It is impossible to make a noob proof flashing guide for this, this is still an alpha and new things occur constantly. The more people flashing is always a good thing but in this case if you are not familiar with ADB and ODIN this may not be for you, and a bootloop if it occurs is a major pain to get out of if you do not have the correct ohm resistor to be used as a jumped.

Android wear is still pre-alpha is currently not being developed until Biktor can get Marshmallow wear booting.

Currently the flashing process is:

Go to download mode hold home button until reboot shows then double tap home key

Flash TWRP only via ODIN in download mode

Back up your watch via the given ADB commands from Biktor

Go to download mode Hold home button until reboot shows then double tap home key

Flash CM## from ODIN and reboot.

Welcome to CM, enjoy.

TO flash Gapps find the correct version in this thread, I believe it is PICO Gapps download it to the watch either via cm browser or to your comp and push via MTP.

Flash it in recovery like you would normally.
[Samsung Gear S] chiikko561:
I'm pretty sure the reason that No tutorial exist here is because biktor planned on this being used by power users and users familiar with adb until he had made it able to be installed thru recovery.

It's still a work in progress...

BeameD From My LG V10... The one with the ALWAYS ON SCREEN... Watching me.. ?
[Samsung Gear S] voden07:
Thanks for explanations, I think I understand now, I've downloaded pretty much everything, I don't really care much for the CM versions, I kinda like the andoid wear port, I'll keep an eye out for the beta release, thanks guys, and keep up the good work!
[Samsung Gear S] Beukhof1:
Amy chance of thuis getting updated to cm13? I think doze mode can really help battery life.
[Samsung Gear S] thefan:
Sounds reasonable so far so clear...

What worries me are the stupid click things , but hey no pain no gain ... so ...we'll see , in worst scenario -300euro , :P or i'll manage to turn it successfully into a wrist oven

I'm not interested from Wear "thing" neither Tizen or Google versions , only full OS , which is the main reason for looking around how to release the hardware potential

And the topic is so so long , its time to move from alpha to full throttle :P , its hard to keep the line when 100 pages of replies :P

Thanks again for all the help :)
[Samsung Gear S] erostiff:
Just checking in: tried to go back to tizen but did not have system img backup up. I knew what my original firmware was (german R750XXU2BOG2). I used TizenRecovery v2 from the OP - got Custom status in download mode and Spanish. Flashed german firmware and got official status again in download mode. After that, i backed up like described, and went back to CM 40 :).

Is using the correct original firmware (.md5) with odin not the best way to go back, because packages contain every partition?
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
First flash my recovery to regenerate the system data partition (it's not included in any flash package), then, after fully booting once at least, flash whatever you want on top and make a factory reset
[Samsung Gear S] Mismoloko:
OK so I found something unusual today I don't know if somebody have done it before but today I was using my gear S to make a call I have a Nexus 6 (don't know if it matters) wen I accidentally push play on my Spotify app so my gear S started playing songs thru the gear S speaker but only when making a call I don't know if this will help or not... Well I leave it too the experts
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
Well, I'm also curious about this.. :confused:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] Is it helpful in any matter?

hello biktor i hope you are well.... have you any new about bluetooth call voice problem? thank you in advance
[Samsung Gear S] lvlrdka22:
Need I remind you and everyone else of this post made by a moderator in this thread?

Wish there is a way to pin this on the top of every page of this thread.
[Samsung Gear S] :
This ^^^

It's disrespectful to bother devs about updates and ETA's. Please just don't do it. :good:

Updates will come when they come. The developers that do this for fun and for free owe nobody anything as far as ETA's go.

Thanks,

Darth

[Samsung Gear S] owangen:
To people asking for ETA and status on different things:

This is my first post, and I have patiently followed this thread for over 1 year.

Instead of asking of ETA, put your money where your mouth is and donate some money to Biktor.

That's much more constructive way to encourage further development.

<MOD EDIT - ^^ BEST WORDS EVER!>

What I can add is that you can also grab the code and make your own attempt.

Verizon Tizen

Does anyone have the Verizon Tizen .tar? Bricked my device and was able to use the tizen file in the post but it does not allow my watch to fully function. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I owed you an update on Cyanogenmod...

http://www.mediafire.com/download/tiqhu53ve5hvj64/CM_20160221_Zipped.zip

As a changelog, it's mostly bugfixes on the sensors:

* Up to date codebase as of 02/20/2016

* Sensor calibration on boot

* Sensor library shouldn't die after being on without rebooting for a while

* Step counter sensor implemented as standalone in kernel side and linked to the library (not responding yet so don't get your hopes up ;))

* Declared missing sensors on the Android framework (I had forgotten that)

* Fixed minimum and maximum brightness levels for the display on the sensor. This way the slider will go from 0 to 100 instead of 0 to 255, rendering half of the brightness slider unusable

* Fixed default brightness level to something more normal

* Fixed auto brightness levels. It should work better now after coming back from suspend

* Cleaned up a lot of the audio mixer paths. Still no bluetooth audio, and still a lot to cleanup, but, don't ask me why, I think I'm into the right path now.

I'm back into trying to make Cyanogenmod 13 boot completely, so I can start working on Android Wear 6 for the Gear S. If there are news, I'll keep you posted!
[Samsung Gear S] eliasmanu:
Thank you very much Biktor, that's are very good news, and just to let you know, we are lot, and we are very interested (and patiently also) on some newsies your are talking about ...

Thank you again.
[Samsung Gear S] catalyst05:
good news Biktor. we are waiting patiently...
[Samsung Gear S] -LBT-:
Does the lack of recovery partition on my watch going to prevent me from flashing this version? It wasn't a problem for the 34 build, but now it says that my /recovery partition is not there (which is correct), and refuses to flash.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Mmmm the file is meant to be flashed with ODIN, unzip it and flash as usual ;)

The recovery partition is included as always, it's just not mounted in TWRP to avoid unforeseen co secuences....

My little side project just booted!

No bluetooth, no nothing but at least it's more stable than it was on Wear/lolipop!
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
Awesome news! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:

Thanks for your amazing work! :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Did you think I'd give up that easy? I'm quite more stubborn than that :)

The emulator image booted, now I'm going to port it back to the gear live based image and try to make it boot. If it works, I will get you an image to play with (even if it is without modem and limited audio out, like the G2/Neo right now until we get full release from huawei)
[Samsung Gear S] eliasmanu:
Wow .... Biktor that is an excellent job.... I wait from this images ( unfortunately I'm not able to do so much on that, any how if you need some help with making some test, please do not hesitate to let us know).

Any how looks very good...so far ...

Thanks you very much for your work and all the best...
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
What can I say?! :D Thank YOU! :good: :good: :good:

You're a genius! We all love you brother! :D

God bless ya! :good: :good: :good:
[Samsung Gear S] ChipJapan:
Congratulations! Wait, so your saying it will be more stable than the current build in CM13? I was thinking the newer os would put more strain on it and have the opposite effect. Shows how much I know!

Can't wait to try it. Tizen is boring the bits off me.
[Samsung Gear S] ddaggebi:
Wow!!!! This is great news!!!

If that AW's bluetooth works, I'll go ahead and flash it to my gear S and pair it with my Nexus 4. Tizen and gear manager was a real pain in the ass....
[Samsung Gear S] lachywallace:
Cant wait for this! Thank you so much!
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
It's been 5 hours and 0 crashes so far...so we can say it is stable enough!

Bluetooth is misbehaving (it pairs but then it doesn't sync and never connects to the phone again) but wifi and audio out are working, so... Looking good!

Screen always on is broken

Modem is disabled (until I can grab huawei's OTA)

If I get bluetooth working completely I will get you a flashable build so you can try it out. It looks pretty nice :)
[Samsung Gear S] delboi:
Well I'm so excited I've just wet my pants

biktor_gj you are a gear god!! Thanks brother
[Samsung Gear S] verszipo:
Even if it won't be a fully working version I think you deserve a donation, you did a lot for the GearS :)
[Samsung Gear S] chiikko561:
You never stop amazing us.. Thanks biktor you are THE BOSS at making Samsung your *****. I'm ready to test this whenever you put it out. Thanks again.

BeameD From My LG V10... The one with the ALWAYS ON SCREEN... Watching me.. ?
[Samsung Gear S] dashrink:
As soon as this AW build comes up ill be donating! Cant wait to try it out. Biktor is there a clock always on feature?
[Samsung Gear S] catalyst05:
you have to donate now if you dont dont talk about donation. please respect biktor job. say just thanks..
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Okay guys, bluetooth will take a little while to say the least. I just remembered why it didn't work... the modem! The stupid modem blocks the uart unless it's running fine with its firmware and all that stuff. So you can pair the watch to the phone just fine, but then data won't move between the bluetooth IC and the cpu until the modem is up. If I just put the firmware in place the modem stalls and reboots, so I'll have to try and reimplement the RIL layer fully into the Wear image for it to work

So, if you want to take a look, even if it's another non functional demo:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/hjbb69853bvpcbu/gs_wear6_test5.zip

Download and unzip gs_wear6_test5.zip and flash the TAR with ODIN as usual. When you pair the watch it will hang up for a huuuge time on "syncing" and it will eventually give up letting you in into the watchface. At least you can see how it looks without dying and rebooting all the time ;)

Have fun!
[Samsung Gear S] szizso:
not work for my. odin failed. is not system data in tar. file

sorry my bad english, thanks for hard work.
[Samsung Gear S] Oracle_Angel:
Hi Biktor, the tar is complaining about the size of csc file
[Samsung Gear S] delboi:
Amazingly fast you are biktor_gj thanks for all the hard work and hours you put into helping us gear s owners have better os your the man.... I'm having the same odin issues when trying to flash your new aw it says the csc file is to big am I doing something wrong??
[Samsung Gear S] tritus:
Say Fantastico looks wonderful, Running one hour and without problems. Who are the impatient Put the csc of the previous version and is loaded with Odin No problem, a greeting
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
It doesn't need the system data partition (I include it in CM to clean up cache for twrp). If unsure flash Cyanogenmod first, then Wear, and do a data wipe before booting
[Samsung Gear S] tritus:
The problem is possibly csc.img is corrupt,I put the previous version and install without problem with Odin, just say many thanks teacher
[Samsung Gear S] delboi:
Did you take the csc from the older aw build?
[Samsung Gear S] tritus:
Yes, but after three hours 2 reset and clock connects and disconnects the phone OK if I walk away or get close, looks great'm very excited when biktor_gj fix the file will set it up again, I'm very impatient. Great work Biktor_gj
[Samsung Gear S] teknomanelvis:
Thank You so much.
[Samsung Gear S] hackerse7en:
i think im about to brick mine, it enter in download mode and i can flash but it has a lot of errors like csc larger than 64mib

and boot size larger than 8 mib?

i already try to swap cscs inside the tar file, and try other roms like cm31 and cm27, those images dont dissapear, what can i do? is there a csc with less than 64 mib?
[Samsung Gear S] lachywallace:
Same.... any resolution to this?

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

This is what happens..
[Samsung Gear S] teknomanelvis:
same thing here as well
[Samsung Gear S] tritus:
I really just step three times, new reboot and enter download mode kie and install tizenfull of Biktor

Then change the csc.img by the previous version and have aw running.

sorry if the translation is not perfect in English
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Something odd happened with the tar file when I uploaded it / zipped

I will get you a new file today when I have a little bit of time
[Samsung Gear S] sootyhippo:
Thanks... almost started crying when I didn't got it running.

Rebooted once more in download mode and flashed cm40 again. I'll wait patiently for the new test.
[Samsung Gear S] tritus:
Biktor_gJ if you give me your permission I put the link when finish a mega upload

Change the watch face and so far no reset

If I have understood correctly, now I have to install AW on my phone and I am ready to go.
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
Yup...as I stated in my post, I ran the ADB commands from your post for changing the folder permissions...and it didn't work. After the reboot, it goes through it's normal prepping of the 74 or so apps...I try installing apps via "adb install" and directly from the File Manager...and it fails.

I'll play around with it more on Monday once I can recharge my laptop. :)

Can we find a way to help this developer by creating a donation page I will be able to gladly donate some extra cash if it has not been thought of yet because I would like to one day have this mod on my watch.

[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] - I found this which seems to reference the first two devices are relating to LTE possibly (which the Gear S doesn't have):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359951&page=119

The third one does seem to be the HSIC. Wonder if one or more of the kernel configs needs to be changed. I saw multiple in there referencing HSIC...hopefully one of those fixes it.

When I get home I'll try building a new kernel with a couple config changes and test it out.
[Samsung Gear S] dev_null:
how about data and calls?

and the home button?

and GAPPS
[Samsung Gear S] runningwarrior08:
Please read through the thread..

Baseband = Modem which is for calls/data is still a WIP

Home button if I remember correctly was stated to be working.

Gapps are not close to a priority at this time. Currently this is pre-alpha to alpha stages. There is another thread for discussion of this port.
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
how about data and calls? WIP

and the home button? Works

and GAPPS? Don't think any of the dev's working on this have gotten that far yet. I'm still having issues sideloading any apps. ;)

This is all still in the beginning stages.
[Samsung Gear S] dev_null:
if you can fix the overheating and GSM than I can help test and may even be able to help development (im a linux guy, android and tizin are both based off linux.).

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

How about installing apps as system (pushing apps to /system/app and rebooting)?
[Samsung Gear S] computerguru:
Thanks [MENTION=5696530]ndemon[/MENTION]. I'll try copying to /system/app once I get back to the point of being able to load apps. :)

On another note - finally got my build environment working, and can build kernel images for the Gear S. I'm gonna start looking into the modem issues [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] mentioned.
