cant we extract device specific files from our watch and take common files from other watch and compile Android Wear 2.0?

I know lot of stuff won't work. But booting itself would be a huge win.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] ingbrzy:
LOL... of course not! just wait for Android Wear 2.0 update... coming soon!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] lexridge:
Rumor has it OTAs may start rolling out as early as Feb 15th. There is not any exact date for any certain manufacturer however. But, since our ZW3 was originally slated to be an AW 2.0 watch, I would expect our update to roll out fairly soon. Hopefully anyway.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] mdecker79:
Thank you very much for the ROM.

The stock ROM is a laggy mess. I came from an LG Watch R which I've had for two years and it was smoother then my new ZW3. I'm sure things will get better once AW 2 comes out but I just couldn't deal.

This ROM is MUCH smoother and faster then stock so again Thank you!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: rom - firmware

I was just wondering, besides the speed and smoothness is there

any other differences between this rom & the default stock official

firmware which comes with the watch?

Thanks, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] mdecker79:
Besides the added apps that are listed no. Everything works the same as stock BUT none of the menu's are janky at all. Everything is pretty smooth with a hick up here or there. But the stock ROM was janky no matter what.

re: factory reset

In twrp did you do a factory reset before flashing the rom? - If not do that before flashing roms.

Good luck, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Pteer Griffin:
Yup, did that. Searched and found out I also had to fastboot format userdata. Now I'm able to copy the files to the sdcard without issues. But after flashing the rom, it would keep rebooting to TWRP. I relocked the bootloader. I'm totally stumped. Watches are a lot harder to mod then my old Nexus 4!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: flash rom old fashioned way!

Try it the old fashioned way...

#1: Boot twrp

#2: Do a factory reset in twrp

#3: In windows use " adb sideload filenameRom.zip " (this installs your rom)

#4. then use " adb reboot "

Have a lot of patience it takes a long time to boot the watch.

This works every time as long as your adb is properly installed and path'ed

Good luck, have a great day!

Great Work my man! Asus Watch is much more useful now thanks to your rom!!!!

Now, if you don't mind me asking, should we focus on petitioning Asus to release android oreo to our watch or do you have any plans on porting Oreo to our watch? Kinda sucks that the watch is 1 year old and already EOL. Are the bare minimum drivers already in the kernel or are they patches? oreo has treble maybe we can work around using that system to abstract the older kernel and just load the oreo framework atop the kernel. Maybe I'm just hopeful but it's such a shame Asus would abandon updates on a watch they promised would be released with AW2.

Either way, Thanks!!!!!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Der-Knuffi:
You can start petitioning, but they won't. They abandoned smart watches...

[Asus ZenWatch 3] Holyman007:
Sorry if I missed it in the thread, but do I need to update or flash stock 2.0 first before flashing 2.0 ROM/Kernel?

I flashed the 2.0 ROM and Kernel in TWRP but I'm getting a endless bootloop when it reaches the initial ASUS logo splash screen.

I tried the 1.5 Rom and kernel afterward and they work perfectly.

Am I missing something? I have wiped data, factory reset and made sure bootloader is unlocked after every try.

EDIT: FIXED IT! Yes, you do need to update via OTA or the Stock 2.0 Zip file here before flashing the 2.0 Custom rom.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Der-Knuffi:
No, you don't! :P

The 1.5 image is enough when you do a factory reset before flashing this ROM.

Worked for me.

Hi, does this boot img makes ZW3 to use all 4 cores or just a bump of speed from the stock kernel? And if it does a bump of speed, can you make a boot img to use all 4 cores? I would try, but i dont know how to, i'm new to this.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Pteer Griffin:
Thanks. Had to install the stock images, boot to TWRP (instead of installing it),which was why it wouldn't boot,then reset, flashed, and relocked the bootloader.

No issues anymore! A lot smoother than stock 2.0

re: android wear 2.0 notifications and updates

[MENTION=1125497]Pteer Griffin[/MENTION]

Good luck with the rom and good luck with all the

constant notifications to update to android Wear 2.

And after a while you will lose about 50% of free user space (internal memory)

after the watch automatically downloads the 2.0 update and starts asking you

to install it.

Good luck, have a great day!

1.5 AW Deodexed installs fine. After wiping everything and installing 2.0 it just bootloops at asus logo. WTF is the solution?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Der-Knuffi:
Did you install TWRP or just boot it via fastboot? You should only fastboot.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] itsignas:
Oh.. So what to do now cause I installed it. Can you give all instructon list? To install stock recovery do I need to relock, and when do I need to relock bootloader. Damn it's so unclear.

Update - Installed stock images of 1.5 system/boot/recovery. Still unlocked bootloader. What next ?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Der-Knuffi:
Is there a way to get into fastboot (Upper Button and center Button pressed?)

After that you could start TWRP from fastboot and then install the 1.5 Image via sideload (so the default recovery is on the watch).
[Asus ZenWatch 3] itsignas:
Yea I can do that. But what's then? Install stock IMAGES FOR 1.5. Then install 1.5 deodexed with twrp without flashing it to recovery partition, do I need to wipe everything or flash directly on top of STOCK 1.5? Then boot into twrp from fastboot, and wipe system/etc... /format data (yes) -> install 2.0? Do I need to install 2.0 kernel boot ?

Update- Got notification to update to 2.0 "Charge watch to install update" I'm now installing it.

So now after I got original 2.0, I just boot to twrp "fastboot boot twrp...." then wipe system/data format data (yes) and with adb sideload install ROM and reboot?

[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: 2.0 update

Yes, do the normal official Zenwatch update, go into "settings>about" in

your watch and check for the OTA 2.0 update and follow the prompts.

You should see the 2.0 update when you click on "check for updates" in

the watch.

[Asus ZenWatch 3] xparagonx:
I installed the latest build and it runs really well! I have a question though... After I flashed the rom and rebooted the first time there were no boot logos. No Asus screen, no Google screen, no boot animation, just a completely black screen for 10 min until it finally loaded the setup screen. And now whenever I reboot my watch I get the same thing, completely black screen for 30 seconds while it reboots. Is this normal?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Der-Knuffi:
AFAIR the ROM-Dev has deleted the boot animation.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] hallevison:
I just got my Zenwatch3 - I'm upgrading from a Wear24 that was a piece of crap. I have unlocked the bootloader, disabled dm-verify, and rooted the watch. So far so good.

What ever I decide to do, I want to thank [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] for all his hard work. We all benefit from the work of a few talented people.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Der-Knuffi:
With this ROM the watch is much more responsive and faster. OK Google is impossible to use on stock ROM as it needs more time to start than the watch is awake.

Not enough space on device

Hi Everyone:

I thought that I would give it a try, but I ran into a problem right away. After making a backup of the current OS, there is not enough disk space on the watch to copy the zip of the new OS. The new OS is 218M, but there is no place on the watch to put it:

Suggestions?

[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: rom backup

If the backup is too big why not MOVE the backup to your pc computer

using ADB for safe keeping and then delete the backup using twrp?

Good luck, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] hallevison:
I am a little nervous about doing that. I have been using adb push to move things to the phone, and that will not work if I mess up the install, right? How else will I get the backup back onto the phone?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: twrp restore

If you mess up simply reboot the watch into twrp recovery and do a full wipe/factory

reset of the watch (doing a factory reset of the watch will NOT wipe or delete twrp).

Then copy/push the twrp backup back to your /sdcard/ in the watch from your pc.

Then you can simply restore the backup using twrp.

Good luck, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] hallevison:
Backing up the old OS using compression did leave enough room to copy the ROM to the watch. I flashed it and it seems to be working great. It is much faster and smoother than the original. Thanks janjan!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Noshado:
Hi janjan,

Thanks for your work! The last build didn't seem to work for me? My watch kept rebooting. But I didn't install the magisk. Maybe that was the problem?

Or maybe it's because I do it through ADB sideload? Instead of flashing.

I have another question: you have left out many apps which is great cause it leaves more room.

But is there a way to incorporate Google translate in the rom? There is no way to download that from somewhere.

Thanks and have a brilliant 2018!

Martijn
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Yes it is due to Magisk 15. There was some issue with Magisk 15, the new Magisk fixed the issue. I will reupload a fix version soon. I will consider to upload a full version with root possibility. It is up to the user which apps to keep and which one to delete.

re: New Dec. 29th rom update.

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

Did you update this new deodex rom so it will not bootloop after a clean install

which includes doing a factory reset and wipe system/data/cache before flashing?

The previous rom only bootlooped if doing a clean/fresh install including factory reset.

When doing a dirty flash, not doing a factory reset the rom did not bootloop and installed

fine but the magist and root did not work properly.

Since the root_wear zip roots the watch just fine, why did you decide to use magist?

What advantage is there using magist?

Magist asks for how long to provide root access "forever/60 minutes and so on" but when

magist is loadeded there is no place on the screen to click "OK" after selecting the "forever"

option. Perhaps that's what's causing the issue with magist.?

Also did you add google translate back into the rom?

I could not download it from the watch's playstore, the google translate app does not appear to

be in the watch's playstore so I got the apk file of it and tried to do a "ADB install filename.apk"

but adb errored out and said install failed without any error number or reason.

I installed the same apk file into my phone just to be sure that the googletranslate.apk installed

properly which it did.

Thanks, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Yes I did. Set Automatic response to Grand from Magisk setting. Umm I used Magisk in Huawei watch 2 (to hide Su for using Android pay). No reason to use in Asus Zenwatch 3 due to lake of NFC. I will remove that in future.

Should I build a complete stock ROM ( deodexed )? User should choose which apps to delete and which apps to keep? User preference.. I can also provide a flashable zip of Google translate..
[Asus ZenWatch 3] txx3:
choice sounds always good
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: future roms

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

If you build a complete stock deodex rom then what would be the

difference it that when compared to the official 2.0 stock firmware?

(besides being deodex)

I still think that any future custom deodex rom should have root built into it.

99% of all the rootable Samsung phones have the root built into the rom.

Also it would be nice if the future roms would have the same layout in the zip

rom file as the custom roms have in our phones, which displays all the folders

and files so we could add/remove apps and boot animations before flashing.

Speaking of boot animations and startup screens why not create ones which

are not static so people won't think that the watch is stuck and will not boot.

Yes please create a flashable zip of the Google Translate, it would be helpful to most of us here.

Better yet and easier for you, why not simply include Google Translate into the rom itself.

If someone does not want or like it, they can simply uninstall it.

When installing magist it asks us for the amount of time to keep it alive, like "forever/60 minutes and other limits"

so I was wondering if after making the selection "forever" in magist do I simply back out of the magist screen or

is there an "OK" button that needs to be pressed before exiting the magist app?

I noticed that you included a kernel manager in the rom.

I see no advantage in changing any of the settings in the kernel at all, the way I

think about it is that changing any settings in the kernel which makes the watch

faster smoother or more responsive would degrade and shorten battery life so

what's the point?

I am using your previous deodexed AW2 rom right now, I have been using it ever since you posted it & it works excellent!

It's fast, no lag to speak of & it's actually A LOT better, smoother and faster than the stock AW2 & AW1.5 official firmwares.

Thanks again for the excellent roms!

Have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Offcource add my tweaks, kernel and etc to the deodexed version.I didn't mean just completely stock deodexed firmware.

Some user doesn't want to root their watches that's why I provide a flashable zip for that. User can choise root or not. Doesn't hurt to flash the SuperSU.zip after flashing the ROM.

If you set automatic response to grant it will not ask about amount of time etc. It will automatically allow the su commands.

re: Google Translate - OK Google

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

I just flashed the Google Translator zip and it works 100% perfect, it takes 1/2 a second

or less to load/open and I tested it with many full English sentences and it's very accurate..

Is there any chance you can create a watch face complication which would start the "OK Google"

so the center button on the watch don't need to be long pressed and used?

I disabled the "OK Google" from listening and waiting for the "OK Google to be spoken.

I know that the microphone being on 24 hours a day must be a waste of battery.

It would also be really nice if one of these days you can add an additional on/off switch

either in the pull down shade or some place in the settings of the watch which would

enable/disable the watch face from moving by swiping the watch face left and right.

The settings in the watch already has an option to change watch faces and it's way too

easy to touch and swipe the screen left or right by error causing the watch face to either

move or change by error. How many times a day does an average user want to change

the watch face on the watch? LOL

I wish that changing the watch faces worked like it did in AW 1.5 which needed us

to long press the watch face and then swipe left or right to change the watch face.

Thanks!!!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
I would like to do that, but it is not easy without having the watch. I have LG watch sport and Huawei watch 2 LTE to play with. It is possible with Emporio Armani watch faces. You can enable and disable and also start "OK Google" without touching the button.

re: OK Google

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

The "Emporio Armani watch face" at the playstore is not made for Android Wear, I found

this out by trying to download it but the playstore said that I don't have any compatible

devices and the description of the watch face did not mention anything about android wear.

How can I disable and enable or start OK Google without touching any buttons?

If I go into settings>personalization and disable "OK Google Detection" the only

way I know of to start OK Google is to long press the center button.

When the "OK Google" detection is enabled then the microphone in the watch

is always listening and active waiting to hear "OK Google" which wastes

battery power since it's always listening and waiting for OK Google to be spoken.

The only way I know of is to use a complication which would do the same thing

as a long press of the center button does now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I forget, when you said we can flash supersu.zip did you mean we can

flash the root_wear.zip file or the supersu2.79.zip or?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also since you do not have a zenwatch 3 you must be some kind of

genius to build such excellent custom roms for the zenwatch 3 ;)

I will try to do something about that. ( So you need a watch face to activate the ok Google without pressing the button right?)

One of my tweaks is reducing battery usage, all the sensors goes to sleep when there is no command. So don't be afraid of battery usage or wastes battery power.
