[Asus ZenWatch 3] h4d3z:
So i have a problem with my watch. (actually my wife's watch)

She has had it for some time now and it worked fine after a while she didnt wear it for some time.

I charged it and it started bootlooping.

Tried to flash all roms on this page and kernels also tried reverting back to original but i cant get it to work.

On wear 1.5 it boots and i can go so far as to connect my phone but my phone doesnt see the watch en after a few seconds it bootloops again.

Also cant charge without it starting up and bootlooping.

Does anyone have some thoughts on this and what i could try ?

After flashing the stock images. Try to format user data and cache.

Flashed the OTA (https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../9ff6d27ebfc20bf885f21ce9386c4b16018a7eff.zip) that includes the Wear 2.0 upgrade on this rom. Besides a warning when booting "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. please lock the bootloader" and push a button to ignore there's no problem and Android wear is being installed and the watch and it works .. How to get rid of Zenwatch manager i don't know. Maybe JanJan can solve this? Or get the update improvements integrated in his last rom (without zenwatch manager etc.)
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
I am waiting for the new source. I am already start working with a new ROM.. Smooth and battery firendly ;)
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: new rom

I installed the new 2.0 firmware using adb and all was fine, no errors or issues.

I would like to ask you to consider adding one feature to this new rom.

Can you add the feature or option (whatever you want to call it)

an option to open the app drawer without the need to use the

middle or any other button just to open the app drawer..

After flashing I could not believe that the only way to open the

app drawer was to use the center button of the watch...

99% of all the watch faces at the play store don't use or have

the option to use tapping on the center of the screen so this

idea of mine would not interfere with any of the 3rd party

watch faces.

We should not need to press any buttons just to open the

app drawer.

Thanks, have a great day and good luck with the new rom.

Your custom rom

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

Thanks for the very excellent rom!!!

Hopefully you will continue to improve

the rom with future updates and mods.

I just could not stand AW 2.0 any more after really trying to like it.

I just hope that this rom is like all the other cell phone roms &

will not alert or notify me about any future updated firmwares

since this rom is rooted and twrp'ed.

I have had no issues flashing this rom or using it.

Thanks again, have a great day!

Great ROM

Hello all,

Thank you for great ROM for my Watch [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] :good:

I´m on this ROM first day and all working fine and smooth ;) very smoth ;)

I´m tested AW 2.0 for couple of days and now I´m very happy with my old friend AW 1.5 :fingers-crossed:

AW 2.0 isn´t totally bad for english speaking users but for my czech language is very bad :(

For now I have two questions:

1. After some time I see message Google play services stopped. Some fix for this?

2. I cannot see any superuser or busybox app in menu. Is it normal?

Thank you all for answer :)

Have a nice day for all :)
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
I will try to improve the ROM and add some tweaks etc. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for my watch. But I will improve the kernel for better performance + for better battery life.

I never faced any kind of issue with Google play services...Superuser is not present, but busybox should be there. If busybox is not present..You have can just flash the root zip to achieve root. I really recommend a clean flash. Enjoy
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

Hi, I have a couple questions about the rom:

1: When I use these adb shell pm commands it errors out telling me that su is not installed (superuser)

These are the commands that supposed to disable notifications and or ota updates.

- adb shell

- pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService

- pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService

- exit

I tried flashing SR1 supersu 2.78 and it flashed successfully but the watch got stuck

on the bootup screen so I done a full wipe again and re-flashed the the zip file rom

to get the watch working again.

What is the best, surest and easiest way to prevent ota notifications and updates?

With cell phone roms it was no problem, as soon as the phone got rooted there were

no ota notifications or updates.

2: Also after flashing your custom rom I check free space on /sdcard in the watch and it shows close to 1GB free.

then 2-3 hours later when I check free space again it shows about 500MB, I am almost sure that the reason for

this is that the watch downloads the 2.0 OTA file in the background without asking me first.

The first thing I done before re-flashing the zip file rom in twrp is to do a full wipe/factory reset including wiping

the /sdcard in the watch but after checking free space it still only showed about 500MB after 2-3 hours after

successfully flashing the rom again about 2-3 hours later.

After wiping and flashing the rom it always shows the correct free space of about 1GB for a few hours.

That's the reason I think that the watch auto-downloads the 2.0 OTA file in the background.

I tried to find the update.zip in twrp's file manager (I am not even sure if that's the correct filename for the .2.0 OTA update)

and after much searching in the rom I could not find anything that looks like an OTA update file.

I hope you can give me some guidance about how to reclaim the lost free space in the watch's /sdcard partition.

And also guidance as to how to fully prevent automatic background OTA updates and that pesky persistent nagging

notification saying: "Charge Watch To Update" - "Tap To Learn More And Install" over and over again.

Thanks in advance,
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
What happen if you rename SystemUpdateService? Don't know if you tried that. I have no idea what gonna happen..

Flash the boot image and then flash the SuperSU zip. .I can't do so much without the device.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: thanks for the help... Need a bit more...

Where exactly would I find that filename? (SystemUpdateService)

I looked in /system/app and system/priv-app folders and could not

find the "SystemUpdateService" file in the watch.

I even looked for "googleplayservices" could not find that either.

Also do you know the exact filename and location of the OTA update that the watch downloads?

If it's in /sdcard it must be a hidden file because I don't see any files there except for one log file

and a few empty folders like pictures and music and there is an android folder with some files in it.

Also is it possible to install a supersu zip file that I can flash which allows the watch to fully boot

so I can use these adb commands, I tried flashing supersu zip file but it gets stuck on boot screen?

adb shell

pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService

pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService

exit

Thanks,, the rom itself is really good, it hardly has any stuttering, hesitation or lag at all when

compared to the stock 1.5 or the new 2.0 firmware.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Try to flash my kernel and then the SuperSU zip. If it still gets stuck let me know. I will upload another boot image. I am not close to to pc right now.

Update:- I will compile a new boot image with some tweaks etc. Hopefully tonight..
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Hoffmanns:
Second day and none notification about AW2.0 :good:
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Only for AW 1.5

As promised--Here is the new kernel with some tweaks + better battery etc.

-Flash JANJAN_kernel_3_Aug_2017.zip in twrp

Optional

OR

-Flash boot.img in fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

-IF it doesn't boot flash 2-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip in twrp.

https://mega.nz/#F!Ewo1RKLY!vlxVDMvxL18nV1xNMR96SQ

Remember to flash the root zip to achieve root.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: New kernel update

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

I cannot download the "https://mega.nz/#F!Ewo1RKLY!vlxVDMvxL19mV1xNMR96SQ" file

mega is asking for a decrypt key before allowing the download.

Is this "2-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip" the exact same file which people use for cell phones before

the rooting procedure? If it is, I already have the file but if not can you please post a link for it.

Also do you have any idea why it is that after I make a flashable zip file of es file manager

and a flashable zip file of root explorer and flash both of them in twrp once in awhile one

of them disappears, (I checked using two different android wear uninstallers and the file

does not show up, it's acting like if I would have intentionally uninstalled one or the other.

(this does not happen right after flashing the two files, it happens at random times(

Both files flash and install without any issues and both work fine.)

Both Root Explorer and ES File Manager Pro work perfectly once they are flashed/installed.

I found that root explorer pro is much better and a lot easier to use.

I uninstalled the ES File manager which came with your rom before flashing anything.

The other file manager Wear File Manager which also came with your rom works fine

except why is it that it displays Nexus instead of Samsung?

I think that's the reason why I cannot copy files from my watch to my phone and vica versa.

By the way, here is a little jewel of information incase someone needs it which not

only disables OTA updates but it also disables and prevents OTA notifications.

And this WORKS with or without root. This will work on any Android Wear watch.

=Disable Updates & Notifications=

adb devices

adb shell

cd /cache/

echo "" > update.zip

chattr +i update.zip

reboot

=Allow Updates & Notifications=

adb shell

cd /cache/

chattr -i update.zip

rm update.zip

reboot

Thanks, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Link is fixed. All files are attached in a zip. Unfortunately I don't use es file manager. But I will take a look later. Remember to flash the attached root zip to achieve root again.

- Add some*I/O Scheduler, Noop, FIOPS, SIO and ZEN

- SELinux permissive

- dm-verity disabled

- Init.d script supported

- adb is enabled by default

- Simple, stable

- Tweaks to boost the performance and slightly increase battery life.

[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: new kernel

I still have the problem of losing root after flashing the new kernel.

There are 4-5 Android Wear apps which I have that require root.

The strange thing is, is that there is no msg, popup, or anything

else which tells or alerts me that these apps require root when

I open each of the apps.

The apps just don't don't work if they require root. They do not FC

or error out.

I even extracted the superuser.zip file from the rom zip file and

flashed the superuser.zip after flashing the new kernel but it did

not help at all with gaining root access.

So far the only way I found to be fully rooted was to simply flash

the rom you built after doing a factory reset and full wipe in twrp

recovery.

I do have one question, what exactly does busybox do and why

do we need it?

So far I always installed the busybox that appears in the watch's

app drawer but alway wondered why it's needed since the watch

works properly and has proper root access without busybox after

flashing your excellent rom.

Your rom is so good, smooth, no hiccups, no stuttering and no lag

which reminds me of the custom rom which I flashed in my S7 Edge.

Today I flashed the official stock AW 1.5 firmware and played with it

for about 30 minutes then I flashed your custom rom so I can do a

full and proper comparison between it and your custom rom.

The difference was like day and night, it's truly amazing how smooth

and fast your custom rom really is when compared to stock 1.5 firmware.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Busybox gives additional Linux / Unix based commands. It is necessary for root level tasks. Many applications require root privileges use BusyBox. That is why you need BusyBox.

As I mentioned before, you need to flash the root.zip from the first thread to achieve root again. Since you flash the new kernel / boot image you loose the root access. You always have to flash the root zip from first thread to achieve root again. To check you get full root access..Please do the following. You need to download the fastboot and ADB.

adb devices

adb shell

If you see this #

It means You have root access.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: new kernel - works great & persistent notification issue

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

Thanks for the info about the root-wear needing to be flashed.

Finally after flashing the root-wear zip file the rom has full root

and works properly.

But....

For some reason after successfully flashing the rom, new kernel and the root-wear zip files

I lost the ability to disable the persistent notifications to update to the new android wear 2.0

firmware.

I used to be able to issue these ADB commands below to disable the persistent notifications:

adb shell

cd /cache/

echo "" > update.zip

chattr +i update.zip

Once I issued the above adb commands I no longer received any update notifications.

But now after flashing the rom, new kernel and the root-wear zip files I am getting these

persistent notifications again. I done a full clean flash including factory reset, wipe cache,

wipe system, wipe data and dalvik cache before flashing.

I tested this issue by starting all over again after a full and complete wipe then flashing

everything again and using the same adb commands but the persistent notifications were

still there.

Any ideas how this issue can be solved?

Thanks!

===================================================================

Hopefully you will have some spare time to create an Android Wear 2.0 custom rom soon.

In the meantime is there anything that could be done so when I flash different custom roms

for my S7 Edge G935F I do not need to do a full reset on my Zenwatch 3 to make it connect

and pair with the android wear app and install all my android wear apps?

I have many android wear apps installed in my watch and it takes forever

to reset and pair with my phone and then the watch syncing to reinstall

all my android wear apps back into the watch.

There must be some way to pair and re-connect to the android wear app

without needing to use the reset option after flashing different roms in my

phone.

Thanks again!

re: new Android Wear 2 kernel for Zenwatch 3

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

Thanks for fixing the link and the new 2.0 kernel downloaded just fine.

Am flashing 2.0 stock firmware now and will test the root-wear and twrp

with the 2.0 firmware.

Edit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After doing a full wipe and factory reset in twrp I successfully flashed

the Android Wear 2.0 firmware and the watch worked properly.

Then I flashed the new Android Wear 2.0 janjan kernel.

After successfully flashing the 2.0 kernel the watch would not boot it just

displayed the colorful boot animation for 20 minutes before I re-installed

the Android Wear 1.5 excellent custom rom which you built.

Wish I could post better news about the 2.0 kernel.

Thanks again, I will be looking forward to the 2.0 custom built rom.

re: app drawer in 2.0

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

Is there any chance that you can add one feature in 2.0 which makes it possible

to open the app drawer by tapping or double tapping the center of the watch face?

The center button would not need to be modified because users could still open

the app drawer by using the middle button on the watch if they want.

So far after installing close to a hundred watch faces I have yet to find even one

which uses a tap or two on center screen for any of the watch face's functions.

Thanks,in advance for taking this into consideration.

Have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
My PC crashed yesterday and unfortunately I lost lot of my files and working directory. Still trying to recover my files. Sh...t happens. I will look on it. I had some conflict or incompatible issues during compiling last time.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

I hope it's nothing serious and you can fix it soon.

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

By the way,,,,

Just in case you don't like pressing the center button in your zenwatch 3 AW 2.0

to open the app drawer I found a solution,

I installed Wear Mini Launcher, and to tell you the truth it works just as good and

is customizable and looks way better than the stock app drawer in AW 2.0.

But I still think it would be really great if you could add that feature into your new

2.0 custom rom.

With Wear Mini Launcher the app drawer does not cover up or replace the stock app drawer.

It sits on top of the actual watch face so mini launcher opens by swiping to the right side of

the watch's screen which works excellent and after I set it all up it looked like it was part of

the AW 2.0 firmware. It's also way easier to use because it's easier to see the app icons.

Good luck with it,

Have a great day!.

Hello [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

How it looks with your computer?

I have strange problem with ADB debuging. :confused::(

I´m on AW2.0 and yesterday I tryed your AW2.0 kernel and all working fine except ADB debuging and ADB commands.

If I enable ADB debuging in developer option and plug my watch to the computer I not see any confirmation dialog about allow ADB. And I see only unauthorized device after ´adb devices´.

With stock kernel I haven´t this problem.

And for now I´m on stock recovery and I can´t use ADB debuging in TWRP. It´s totally ****ty...

I need working ADB commands and main problem is missing confirmation dialog... not pop up....

I tryed everything.... Enable/disable ADB, rewoke ADB, restart computer and watch, new ADB drivers, start and kill ADB server, factory reset... Nothing works for me :confused::rolleyes:

Please could you help me? Thank you very much :good:

Edit: I tryed debugging over wifi and Bluetooth and same problem... Allow Adb dialog not pop up :(

And my watch is unauthorized...

I tryed also another computer and same situation...

Maybe some problem in kernel? Because Adb is enabled by default... I don't know... :(

Is there any other way to get working Adb commands?
