Honestly there is so much broken that reading the thread isn't a bad idea. This is an Alpha. Right now the people who(should) are flashing and have been here from the beginning are alpha testers and we know what does and does not work(which we have answered many times)

If this does move to stable enough to become a Beta is when the OP should be updated, and this is what Biktor even stated in the first few pages of starting testing. But until this time just assume nothing works...

For AW

There are multiple issues:

Disconnects

Sync issues at times

Force closes

Google voice input fails.

No sensors work

Screen resolution messes with watch faces unless you make some like linked 3 or so pages back.

No audio through bluetooth

RIL issues...

And I know I am missing some.

CM Build 43?

Bluetooth does not allow audio/voice while in a call.

Force closes

Play services destroys battery life

Some sensors work(RIL,GPS(sometimes), Screen brightness works)

Connects to phone but there is no good app to send data between the two unless you are using the watch sim connected.

Some apps force close with the current DPI..

Again I am probably missing something here also.

Install(off the top of my head)

Backup your data, search for it here in the thread for Biktor's commands I think it was on Page 13 or so.

Download TWRPONLY to flash via odin.

Boot into DL mode. Hold in center button for 8+ seconds. When you see "rebooting" on the screen double tap the center button. Tap the center button to get to DL mode than long press to boot into download mode.

From here load TWRP into ODIN and flash it. If you do not know what ODIN is you probably should not be flashing this.

After flash reboot into DL mode and flash the OS of your choice AW or CM.

If flashing AW make sure to wipe in TWRP before you boot. And after first boot disable always on screen.

Currently there are no extra things you need to do to get CM working. If you want GAPPS, install PICO gapps like you would any other rom. But it will destroy your battery life.

To return back to stock wipe data in twrp, boot into DL mode and flash the zip file to return to tizen from Biktor, or flash your correct ODIN file from SAMMOBILE.

I think I have a basic idea of everything here. If I missed something let me know and I will edit this post. And for now on I will try to link it when there are questions...

gear s cyanogenmod os unable to pair with galaxy s4

Hello

I have installed cyanogenmod 12.1 in my gear s. Now trying to pair the gear s by installing samsung gear app in mobile (S4) but mobile is unable to find my gear s. then i tried android wearable app. In android wearable it detects the gear s but for long time unable to sync the data. I also found that bluetooth gets disconnected (either from gear s or S4 that unable to understand). Please help how do i pair my S4 with gear s. DO i have to install any software in gear s?
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
If you have install cm 12.1 it's standalone (there is some app to sync notification). If you install Android Wear you can sync all with AW app
[Samsung Gear S] amitmc:
yes i have install CM12.1 but i am not able to connect to gear s from galaxy s4. Bluetooth pairing is possible. i tried android wear but not possible to connect. Also i tried samsung gear app, the gear app is not detecting the gear s. Is there any app i should install in gear s so that it can be detected as smart watch by either android wear OR samsung gear app.
[Samsung Gear S] runningwarrior08:
There are issues to where the bluetooth stack does not support all versions of Bluetooth. If your phone does not support BLE there is a chance it will not show up at all for you.
[Samsung Gear S] Ranomez:
You can not connect the watch with CM12.1 with either the Samsung Gear or Android Wear apps, you will need to just connect like a normal bluetooth device and then find some app to install (probably on both) to send notifications from the phone to the watch but there is no good one at the moment (the only good ones send the notifications via internet so you will need a SIM with internet in the watch).
[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:
You don't pair CM12.1, well, you can but only through the stock quick connect app and it only shows battery and basic info not notifications, it won't pair with gear app or AW app. There are 3rd party apps for notifications through blutooth but you won't be able to sync it through any app that your trying unless you flash the AW build....then it will pair with AW app. I've used SWApp Link for notifications on CM12.1, that's about as good as it gets.
[Samsung Gear S] :
long time ago i have used this to connect my android phone with cheap chinese android 4.4 smart watch. it was far from perfect at that time but it worked so give it a try if you have CM 12.1 on gear s

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.preiss.swapps.link
[Samsung Gear S] amitmc:
did you mean unlike cyanogen i will be able to flash AW build. Does that mean my gear s will boot as andriod wear? if yes please help me with link of AW flashing. OR like SWApp Link is there any app official (either google OR samsung) by which I can easily get notifications through bluetooth sync. I know i am repeating weird questions but i am not much geek so kindly help. And thanks for responding anyway.
[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:
On the previous page [MENTION=2219045]GOIGIG[/MENTION] posted the link to the latest AW build and then yes it will boot as AW. And the Q&A section may have more answers for you if you have any other questions.
[Samsung Gear S] amitmc:

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

thats a great help me. I installed it. Yes it gives notifications but not as sophisticated as original one. However I am going to try android wear link given by GOIGIG. Thanks alot. However if you find any better app than SWApp Link kindly post.
[Samsung Gear S] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Has anyone tried http://www.app2open.com/download, it's the QR code that No.1 D5 watch gives so you can pair it with your Android phone. Seeing as it runs full Android, might be worth a try.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
Hi, I have updated the first post with the latest _full_ images for both Android Wear and Cyanogenmod. I'm not going to post the kernels, inits and other stuff that have been incremental, because at this point (and don't get me wrong, this is not directed at you in any way) I don't trust people flashing blindly without reading. Most of the people at the Gear 2 forums are used to flash these things, and they know their way around, but there's a lot of people here that don't read and will flash everything in wrong order and end up with a brick. And given how volatile this watch's bootloader is, I rather not put complicated stuff on the front page and avoid bigger problems or even dead watches (it has happened before).

On development side of things:

Fighting my new MDSS Display codebase to try to finally fix up the always screen on mode. If I'm right, we'll win battery life in both Android & Wear, if I'm not, at least we'll have screen always mode on working on Android Wear.

Will keep you posted (when it finally works right ;))

Biktor_gj you are interested in ota 6 of sony smartwatch 3 and dump 5.1.1 ?
[Samsung Gear S] nguyen4514:
Just wanted to say thanks for keeping this project alive. I purchased my Gear S from T-Mobile the day it launched. When I first read about this project in early 2015, I honestly did not see the value until I switched to the HTC m9. To be honest, I had more issues trying to install gear manager on a non Samsung device than converting the Gear S to AW.

So far, AW hasn't caused major issues for me. The first day I installed AW, battery life was estimated at 11 hours, but I got about 13 hours. After a few more days, it seems like battery life is hovering around the 16 hour mark. I was getting about 2 - 2.5 days on Tizen, but the current state isn't horrible. Based on what I have read about the first AW devices, battery life was no more than a day.

Seems like the current state is okay for me to use and test daily. There is minimal crashing on my Gear S. Most of the crashes I saw happened on day 1. Only see about 1 or 2 crashes per day. The accessibility feature audio feedback works very well, but can get annoying when I keep hearing my watch talk to me. Although I can hear sounds from the speaker, for some reason, there is no sound when my alarms go off. Another issue I noticed is that I cannot adjust screen brightness. I can select a brightness level, but the brightness doesn't change. Seems like it is stuck at maximum brightness. So far, voice commands such as sending text messages, starting a call, or launching an app, have been working well. Although I can start calls, like everyone else, I can't hear anything from the speaker.

Currently, calls are not really high on my priority list. Since I cannot really take calls on the watch, I'm reminded of the days I used a Pebble. Definitely not a bad thing since I'm still able to get the notifications I need. When I was testing out calls, people on the other end said that they couldn't hear me at all. This tells me that the speaker and mic don't work during calls.

I believe I read somewhere in this thread that GPS does work. However, when I tried to track my run using the fit activity app, it did not detect my location or distance. Since it was still tracking my time, it added my run to google fit. I also noticed that my watch doesn't charge if it is turned off. My watch would only charge when it is turned on.

Again, thanks for making so much progress. I will continue testing out AW on the Gear S.

FYI, if you need the original firmware for your Gear S, sammobile.com has the firmware for all the different models of the Gear S.

Does anyone know is there a problem with canadian version of samsung gear s SM-R750W on european networks? How can i know that i cant install CM firmware?
[Samsung Gear S] demosgt:
The Gear S is a dual band phone.

The Canadian version (SM-R750W) will not work on European networks, as it doesn't have the right radio bands.

North American GSM versions of the Gear S (T-Mobile, AT&T, and Canada) have 850MHz and 1900MHz,

and the European and Asian versions have the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands.

Not sure if the bootloader on the SM-R750W is locked, but if it is you'll get an Auth fail in ODIN.

Has anyone figure out how to unlock the bootloader for SM-R750V (Verizon Gear S)?
[Samsung Gear S] juiceppc:
Is it possible to flash Android over an "unlocked" AT&T Gear S? There are "Unlocked" ATT Gear S' on Ebay but not sure if they will work. Are all ATT Gear S' unable to flash no matter locked or unlocked?

Thx
[Samsung Gear S] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No, in that case "unlocked" means SIM unlocked. You need an unlocked bootloader. AT&T Gear S's have a locked bootloader and that most likely will never change. Get a T-Mobile version. If you want to use it on AT&T, make sure it's SIM Unlocked as well.
[Samsung Gear S] DQEight:
Don't quote me on this but an unlocked ATT gear s just means it can be used on other carriers and does not affect the bootloader status (which is what needs to be unlocked to flash this). In other words there's two types of unlock and that isn't the one you need.

For those that run CM 12.1, are you using the Gear S as a stand alone device or as a companion device? I'm not loving full android as a companion device. Might try AW but if I go that route, I may as well go buy a Zen Watch 2.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Pretty sure you have to flash AW via Odin, not TWRP.
[Samsung Gear S] euserdb:
I was going to do it through Odin but Odin only detects .MD5 and .TAR files, and the Android Wear rom is in a bunch of .IMG files. any way around that?
[Samsung Gear S] HotShotAzn:
Going back to Tizen...well maybe.

I have mad props for Biktor's work and I know he's got his hands full with his new bundle of joy so I don't expect updates soon.

The overall experience is a little underwhelming...maybe because I'm using it as a companion device, not a standalone. I might give AW a try but it sounds like there is more work to be done.

Is there any reason that the op is stating the gear S specs as "Quad core 1.2GHz" when it is actually a dual core 1.0GHz in every other place on the internet? Am I missing something here?

Edit: Nevermind, read the readouts in q&a thread.
[Samsung Gear S] biktor_gj:
It is a quad core :)

Its a Qualcomm MSM8226, capable of running at 1.2 GHz but locked down via kernel to 1 GHz to save some battery (and thaaank god). It has 4 cpu cores which are powered down in groups of 2 when power saving, don't know why everyone advertised it as a dual core...

Btw, not gone!

Slowly trying to get back on track, and starting over with the sensors and the display always on, trying to look at it from another angle.

Fixed touchwake (now you can wake up the screen in Android Wear without pressing a button), and screen brightness in Wear too (once im done with sensor maybe automatic brightness will work too)
