Questions correspond to topic![emoji28]
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUMINIT]:
That doesn't bode well...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] skinnycl:
got the android wear companion app updated to version 1.5. the play store changelog mentions the new gestures, but no firmware update for me so far
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CompuTechnoPro™:
My SW3 stopped receiving notifications after the last Android wear app 1.4.x update [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24]
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Alahdal:
Will my wear gets updated if it is rooted?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] SirBindy:
no, It will burst into flames and an orphanage will burn down - killing everyone inside.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CompuTechnoPro™:
May face problems... better to be unrooted...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
just curious but what is the point in rooting the SWR50???? Got mine two days ago so am on a learning curve with Android wear!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CompuTechnoPro™:
Agree! I didn't feel any importance of rooting my AW yet...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
Seems abit pointless as other than twrp/kernels there are no custom roms and no hacks etc that would benefit a rooted device.... Phones/tablets hell yes and always root them asap but watch hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Anyway hope Marshmallow arrives soon... Partner has the Zenwatch(first one) and is one Marshmallow and seems much nice and more responsive.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CompuTechnoPro™:
Eagerly waiting! ![emoji28]
[Sony Smartwatch 3] FUSIONdev:
Please, stop spamming that post :D everytime it gets a new reply I hope it's about the availability of the update :D

[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUMINIT]:
You mean twrp and kernels aren't a reason?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
And if those are not enough reasons how about running any app with unfettered Internet access?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Holzi001:
Back to Topic!

If you want to discuss the benefits of a rooted watch then do this somewhere else.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wserfer:
Update does not install only if bootloader unlocked. Root just gone, but you can root it again.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Actually, since we have the ability to run an alternative recovery without unlocking the bootloader :), if you have TWRP installed, that may cause the update to fail even if the bootloader is locked.

But you will still be able to root again after the update.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mrbubba999:
Since owning a Sony phone and watch recently, I have noticed that they're very slow at updating, however I have come from Nexus devices
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
How awesome would a "Nexus Watch " be?

Updates *immediately*.....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Yeah with what's going on with the sw3, a Nexus watch would be ideal. It's really a shame. I figured that since all Android wear watches run basic stock Android wear, updates would all hit at the same time. But obviously not. I guess giving manufacturers the option to add in their own watch faces, etc prolongs the release. Otherwise I don't get what's taking so long. Sony has its own separate app for their watch faces. Besides GPS, there's nothing different and special about this watch to have it be taking this long. Very disappointed in sony. Although it comes as no surprise as they continue to struggle in this an the mobile department.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
theres a sony watch face app???
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CompuTechnoPro™:
Yeah!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
link on google play please!!!!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CompuTechnoPro™:

[Sony Smartwatch 3] IcerC:
It has a different processor than other watches. It has a true always on display "even in theater mode".

Two big things that may be the reasons this watch might not be updated besides Sony sucking at software.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Also, it has NFC and wifi.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ORCA999:
Different cpu?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nrseife:
Sony slow with update

Maybe Sony found some issues with the latest update and they are struggling to fix those. Anyway, they could at least update the community with the status quo and what their plans are....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Sparksltd:
Just asked Sony when the update is coming. https://plus.google.com/+sonyuk/posts/RH2AN2HSiVR. Let's see if they reply...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
I just wish Sony would step up and confirm they're at least working on the update. Which they really should considering its taking this long.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
Added to your comment on there so if other could it may help get an answer or even the update!!!!

[Sony Smartwatch 3] romcio47:
What I've been thinking for some time now is that Sony usually pushed the software updates to their old devices (SWR50 is indeed an old device now) after they announced its successor already WITH the update onboard... look at the phones for example, history repeats itself every year :)

Of course such actions are pathetic but since 2011 it's pretty the same... I know Sony for too long.

So what I think, which is of course totally unconfirmed, is that maybe there's new Sony Smartwatch coming. That could explain why they're so quiet about the update...

And the 1.3 update came on release day.

After 6 factory resets I got into the first Marshmallow update wave! It's downloading now. I'll see if I can reboot and get the download URL from the logcat or somehow pull the ZIP from cache.

Sideloaded.... it looks a bit laggy!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] romcio47:
You are a second person who wrote that it's laggy...

You're kidding, right?... Let's just see if more people will complain about that but it's sad that after 2 months of waiting all we got is a laggy update (for now)...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] FUSIONdev:
nope, this time I'm not kidding.

Now I resetted the watch, but still looks laggy to me. I hope it's just overheated.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
doesnt seem laggy too me... Actually seems faster at the moment and thats with 30+ apps
[Sony Smartwatch 3] FUSIONdev:
For example, open "Settings" and tell me if it's not slower to load
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomo100brt:
I got it and it is not laggy at all. I think it is even faster.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] SirRobin78:
Sideloaded it on my smart watch 3 and did a factory reset. Even after that, the google cards like weather are not shown. Seems to be a google problem but i´m not sure. On my Z3 everything is working fine and goole app is the latest one from playstore...

TWRP flashable MM delta update. Works even if you have rooted the device, it will unroot it though.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bigr1979:
The weather app is actually working now which is nice as couldnt get it to work on lollipop. Shame no restart in settings just a power off. Ive only had my watch a couple of weeks and only had the dreaded battery drain bug once so will be interesting to see if it's been fixed
[Sony Smartwatch 3] FUSIONdev:
Do you have lag when opening settings? let me know...

I hope they fixed the "unreachable phone" bug....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bigr1979:
lag seems to have sorted itself out now, was laggy when first updated but seems fine now. Must have just been hot and sorting itself out.

Fingers crossed on the unreachable and hopefully the contacts issue I used to have is sorted too, used to get Temp Unavailable on contacts alot on a reboot and had to keep rebooting phone and watch a few times till clicks back into gear and starts working again.

That being said, happy in general with the watch so far and the new update :)

Google's developer advocate, Wayne Piekarski has announced that an Android Wear update is rolling out, and not just any Android Wear update. This is the fabled latest Marshmallow update for the Sony Smartwatch 3.

According to a Google developer advocate, the OTA has started today and all devices should receive the update within a week.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
MM more laggy, then 5.1.1 IMHO...

Even 4 unlocked cores didn't help.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CompuTechnoPro™:
I did find lags in Settings especially the delay in loading all options..

Watch also got overheated!![emoji33]

Will try tomorrow to look for any improvements...

Are the google cards working normally on your smart watches? got the update yesterday and even after 2 factory resets there are no google now cards shown for weather or anything else..manually open weather is working.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranto:
features within the file I added the part that you indicated to me but the same does not work.

The file name should be 'feature.xml' not 'features.xml'.

If that is not the problem, then I don't know it either.

Do note that when it's activated you don't have the A-Z option anymore in the app drawer; it will automatically put all your apps alphabetically. Also when you delete or add an app it will do that automatically.

Hello,

Has anyone found the vowney lite stock ROM yet ? I'd like to get the stock recovery image to eventually port a CWM recovery.

I just got root access, so I don't need it anymore, I can get everything by myself

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65277458&postcount=9

the root works for vowney and vowney lite, but the script fail because of new kinguser 4.8
[Elephone Vowney] luxumbra:
Yeah I saw your post before, thanks btw, but he put the link to change to supersu afterwards, so I quoted him ;)

What do you mean "script fail" ? I had no problem...
[Elephone Vowney] doa4ever:
the script didnt work for me. even i changed the supersu version.

but its no reason to worry. kingroot 4.8 works fine and it looks like that kingroot uses chaindd's binarys.

no problems with busybox, etc.
[Elephone Vowney] lidlband:
Would it be worth trying the previous version of kingroot? or is it better to use new version for supersu to not work? Sorry for the likely nooby questions, I'm not sure of the implications of different outcomes and don't want to mess up my first root :o
[Elephone Vowney] popeck80:
Quelqu'un pourrait il copier sa ROM est la partager

Merci
[Elephone Vowney] luxumbra:
I used version of kingroot in the link (maybe the last), and I managed to change to supersu without any problem...
[Elephone Vowney] popeck80:
Luxumbra pourrais tu partager ta ROM?
[Elephone Vowney] luxumbra:
I built a flashable ROM with Android Kitchen, the device is probably not officialy supported, because it is recent and it's a MT6795, but I got no error during the manipulations.

I used dumps images from my own device, vowney lite.

Download: http://uptobox.com/uwwblc6x4iu3

Do not flash it unless your device is already broken, I have not tested it myself.

I guarantee absolutly nothing, and hold no responsability for anything you do with it.

The purpose of it is to get files from it to work on, or if you are experienced, check for problems in it please, I'm not a pro (yet).

My few modifications:

-Added root permission with superSU

-Added BusyBox

-Added Cerberus (the anti-theft app) as a system app

-maybe other minor changes as a did not make a factoy reset before getting the image from it

PS: Popeck parles Anglais stp, on est sur un forum international, et une ROM ça se sort pas comme ça d'un téléphone, il faut déjà être rooté et après c'est pas simple de tout reconstruire.
[Elephone Vowney] popeck80:
hello I can not downloading your file
[Elephone Vowney] popeck80:
Je l'ai flasher avec une ROM non compatible, celle vowney tout cours....
[Elephone Vowney] lidlband:
Using the method in the link and installing supersu using the terminal I just got errors (despite getting the correct directory) but it unistalled kingroot in the process.

I then just tried the Supersu free in the play store and it cant update the binary (just says "installation failed ! Please reboot and try again.")

So my question is, is there a way around this or should I just keep Kingroot? I read that Kingroot may be taking data etc but i'm very new to all this so sorry for the questioning!
[Elephone Vowney] luxumbra:
I used ADB shell instead of a terminal emulator, maybe that made a difference, try these commands with ADB:

-must be rooted with kingroot

-must have the supersu app installed

-mrw must already be in the /sdcard

adb devices (check if you device is connected, it should say "device")

adb shell

su (grant any permission on screen)

ls -al /sdcard (verify that you have the mrw folder)

ls -al /sdcard/mrw (verify that you have the 4 files)

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

After that kingroot should stop working, then open supersu and update binary
[Elephone Vowney] lidlband:
I'm guessing you're talking about using the cmd shell on my computer in the android sdk (and platform-tools) directory? I've tried that and it's not showing a device. I've installed the google drivers within the SDK manager but it still didnt show anything and from here I don't know where to go?

Cheers for the help, i'm not sure if i'm helping the forum by clogging it up with my questions though :confused:
[Elephone Vowney] luxumbra:
Try installing ADB like this:

Don't forget to turn on USB debugging in the developper options.
[Elephone Vowney] lidlband:
Sorry I was nearly about to post an update!

I got the ADB driver working and ADB shell working as you said. The commands to sdcard were not working, and I think the system (or likely myself) is getting confused with the external micro SD I have. It nearly got there, but now superSU wont open because it says it cant install the binary (without giving me any other option) then closing, and now when I try to install KingRoot to try the process again it says "Unfortunately, com.kingroot.kinguser has stopped"

I'm going to any kingroot associated files and reboot etc and try again without my microsd in and hopefully it will finally go smoother!

Really appreciate the help!

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

Okay I finally got there! Can't thank you enough for your help!

Unmounting the SD card was the final straw to help it all come together! :laugh:

Hopefully someone else might be helped by my failings, otherwise, sorry anyone/everyone for taking up all this space!
