Well yes, there are many watch faces that have the ability to open any app in the app drawer,

also there are other watch faces which use "complications" so I really do not need the actual

watch face... What I need is either an app that opens & starts OK Google in the app drawer or

a "complication" which opens/starts the OK Google.

Either way is fine, if you can just build an app that shows up in the app drawer named OK Google

then the OK Google issue is solved.

Thanks!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Umm actually there are many watch faces can do that...Use a watch faces one with complications at set (ok Google) from it's setting.. To start that just press on it, it will start ok Google.

The app need to execute from the system/app or by pressing the button to go to apps and then press the app to run.

re: Your newest rom-magist combo

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

The newly updated rom-magist combination bootloops with a clean or a dirty flash.

Cannot test it. (But I tried)

Have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: ok google

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

The problem is that there is no "okay google" app in my app drawer

and there is no "ok google" complications in the "data" options when

I select to add a complication in an interactive watch face which has

the complication option in it.

In the rom's system/priv-app or system/app folders is there an "ok google" or "google assistant apk?

If there is, what's the filename?

Thanks!

hi Misterjunky,

how did you recover from this situation since i have the same bootloop.....:(

I cannot get the watch to boot in recovery mode and can not use adb anymore to sideload some other rom......
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: bootloop

The watch should go into "fastboot" mode even if it can't go into recovery.

So press the middle and top button and hold them until you see "fastboot"

on the watch's screen.

Then do the following in the cmd prompt:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery twrp_swift_3.1.1-0.img

fastboot oem lock

Then reboot the watch to recovery mode which will boot into twrp.

Once you are in twrp recovery you can simply flash the rom below

using the adb sideload command or push the rom zip file into twrp:

adb push ASUS_ZEN_WATCH_2_Wear_2_Build_NWD1.170623.001-DEODOXED.zip /sdcard/

You can also flash the zip file rom in twrp which is best, that way there will always be a copy of

an excellent working custom rom ready to flash.

I simply reflashed the "ASUS_ZEN_WATCH_2_Wear_2_Build_NWD1.170623.001-DEODOXED.zip" rom using twrp.

You can also use adb sideload too after you flashed twrp or when stock recovery works after flashing the rom..

Just be sure to do a full wipe/factory reset in twrp before you flash the rom.

Good luck, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] jawsm:
Dear Misterjunk,

First of all thx for replying.

When entering in command prompt

fastboot flash twrp_swift_3.1.1-0.img

i get a message:

error: cannot determine image filename for 'twrp_swift_3.1.1-0.img

This image is in the same directory as the adb commands.

What causes the problem? Do you know?

Best regards!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] txx3:

[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: twrp ...

[MENTION=983560]jawsm[/MENTION]

Sorry but in my previous reply to you I forgot to add the word "recovery" to the fastboot command.

So do ths:

fastboot flash recovery twrp_swift_3.1.1-0.img

I promise it will work this time!

Good luck!

Hey guys sorry but I have a new problem...

I was not able to get my watch to pair to Android Wear on my phone so I decided to "disconnect and reset" from my watch and tried to reinstall the ROM from TWRP, but now no matter what I do it will only boot into recovery (by default) or fastboot if I choose to do so. It will not boot into system even if I explicitly tell it to from TWRP.

Any ideas? Sorry
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: rom installation issue

Here is something you can try:

First flash the zip file rom again in twrp then do the following...

Uninstall the android wear app and go into twrp recovery and do a factory reset and reboot to system

then get a fresh copy of android wear from the playstore and wait until the watch asks you to finish the

installation on your watch.

Give it a try!

Good luck and have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] DShepard:
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. The problem is on my watch, my phone is booting fine. I cannot get it to boot at all anymore, it will only go to TWRP, even after full wipe and re-flashing the ROM.

I will try your suggestion after I can get the watch working again but for now, getting the watch to boot is the first step. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: booting issues

[MENTION=3679122]DShepard[/MENTION]

In that case flash the stock Android Wear 1.5 image (img files not zip)

using fastboot first before flashing the android wear 2.0 zip file.

Here is the download link for the official stock Android Wear 1.5 zip file

containing the three image files: " recovery.img boot.img and system.img".

Unzip this zip file and flash all three of the img files using fastboot

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tz9bg5fggpfn2q6/swift_partition_dump_part1_MWG68.zip?dl=1

To flash these img files boot the watch into fastboot mode then do the following:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot

After the watch boots up you don't need to start setting it up if you want to upgrade

to the Android Wear 2.0 custom zip file rom.

You can simply boot or flash twrp and install the Android Wear 2.0 custom rom zip file

or you can also install the android wear custom zip file rom using adb sideload command.

( adb sideload filename.zip )

Good luck, have a great day!

Hi itsignas,

I've been using this rom for quite sometime now and I find it way smoother than the official Asus rom.

I really do hope janjan stays motivated to support this watch, when more since Asus themselves chose to abandon upgrades.

I for one am really happy with his work!

I would suggest a factory reset maybe? This truly helped improve performance for me.

re: google now

[MENTION=7266617]itsignas[/MENTION]

Did Google Now ever work properly for you before you disabled it?

Did it ever work properly with the stock or custom 2.0 or 1.5 rom?

On the stock or custom 2.0 rom google now never worked properly for me.

All it does is open a screen saying "no updates for now check back later".

I never seen it say anything else since I got the Zenwatch 3.

When I had the Zenwatch 2 the only thing that google now

displayed was the current weather card.

My Samsung S7 Edge always displays all my cards just fine.

Thanks, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] itsignas:
Well I don't think it ever worked for me, as English isn't my native language so I find it difficult to use, and it doesn't understand my primary language. But yeah, disabling it improved the performance like day and night. :D

Add - Just as of today I picked it up and I can't pair with Android Wear app even tho bluetooth paired, but it doesn't seem to find it in the said app.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] APTXDAVE:
Finally have had the time to sit down for a few hours last night and get this rom running on my device.

Already can tell a massive difference. I will post a video for those who are curious but havent done so yet. It is faster. And smoother by far. The reduction of bloat is also fantastic.

I haven't yet flashed the new kernel or gained root access but will do that today in hopes to see more improvements!

Thank you so much JanJan. And thanks to all those who contributed to the discussion with installation queries and support. It's given my watch new life.

re: Android Wear 2.8

[MENTION=4948287]APTXDAVE[/MENTION]

I manually updated to Android Wear 2.8 from 2.7 on my Zenwatch 3 but I did not and do not see any differences at all.

Let me know if you see any difference in your watch if you decide to update your watch to Android Wear 2.8.

If anyone wants to manually update to Android Wear 2.8 here is the download link for the Android Wear 2.7 APK which enables the 2.8 update to appear on your your phone's playstore and your watch's playstore.

First install the 2.7 android wear apk into your phone from the link below then wait 2-3 minutes and go to the phone's playstore and check for updates, you will see the android wear 2.8 update for your phone.

After updating the phone to the 2.8 update wait 2-3 minutes and the 2.8 update will also appear in your watch's playstore after you check for new updates in the watch.

The Android Wear 2.8 update is not device dependant and it can be used with most any android wear watch which has the Android Wear 2.0 firmware in it.

Here is the download link for the Android Wear 2.7 apk which allows the 2.8 update to appear in both your phone and your watch.

[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: Android Wear 2.8 - with janjan's roms

[MENTION=4948287]APTXDAVE[/MENTION]

Yes, janjan's most recent or any other of his roms have no effect on doing this upgrade.

It's just too bad that on my zenwatch 3 the screens did not change to black or get darker.

The screens in my phone are the same color as when I flashed the stock official AW2

OTA firmware. I am not the only one with Zenwatch 3 with the same results...

If you do a google search for "Android Wear 2.8" you will find many other people who's

zenwatch 3 did not change colors either. My watch's screens are all a medium dark grey

like it always was before the Android Wear 2.8 update and I already had the notification

little counter bubble/button on the bottom of my watch face before doing this update.

If you don't like the update then simply reset the watch and make sure you use your

current Android Wear 2.7 app before you reset the watch or you'll get the AW2.8 again.

Good luck, have a great day!

re: system wide black background

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

Since we already have a custom rom, root and twrp would it be possible

for you to modify the custom rom and make it have a black background

system wide so all the backgrounds in the watch are completely black?

The current android wear 2.8 update had no effect on the background

color in our zenwatch 3 but other watches like LG and Moto 360 and

some others now have a black background.

Thanks, have a great day!

Great Job on the rom! Maybe adding, non trivial, EAS (Energy Aware Scheduler) would help condense the energy optimizations patches. For the kernel is 3.18.24 the latest kernel that asus/android provides? What about porting/applying patch sets from kernel.org (3.18.93) to this kernel? Maybe you are doing this already

Hi,

I installed the Deodexed rom using bootable TWRP and now have a blank screen on boot. I still get the Asus logo and the bootloader warning but it's blank like there's no OS.

I recovered my stock image OK but really wanted to get this working. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Hey guys and girls. Got an interesting one for you...

I've successfully flashed the ROM, rooted and applied the custom kernel JanJan has created, but due to having to reset my phone I also had to wipe my watch.

It appears I still have the ROM on the device due to the absence of the the Asus bloatware. But I'm getting significant battery drain. Less than 6 hours with always-on off, wifi off and auto brightness. Its far less than it should be. I know the difference having had the custom ROM running perfectly prior to the factory reset.

It appears the boot-loader is still unlocked as I get the startup message about being unable to check the software. But the root is gone.

I am not sure if the TRWP boot-loader is there either.

Can anyone advise on what to do? Should I just flash the Kernel and hope for the best?

How do I start from scratch fresh ?

Cheers

[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: rom/twrp/kernel issues

[MENTION=4948287]APTXDAVE[/MENTION]

Make sure to uninstall the Android Wear app from your phone

and re-install it before doing anything else.

Then do the following:

Flash twrp recovery unless you already have twrp setup and flashed.

While you are in twrp "reboot to bootloader".

While in twrp's bootloader lock the bootloader. (fastboot oem lock)

While in twrp do a factory reset.

If you have the rom flashed already then twrp's factory reset will not wipe it.

The above assumes that you already have the 2.0 rom flashed in the watch.

If all goes well the watch should boot normally and after it fully boots it

should ask you to continue installation on the phone.

(just like when you do a factory reset on the watch)

Good luck, have a great day!...

Need bluetooth connection?

Was suffering some learning pains installing this rom so I used above advice to get stock back & try again:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flashed the 3 images

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot

Skipped setup and booted into bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery twrp_swift_3.1.1-0.img

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot

Skipped setup and booted into TWRP

adb sideload ASUS_ZEN_WATCH_3_Wear2.0_Build_NWD1.170623.001-DEODOXED.zip

Rebooted system & completed device setup, pairing watch to phone's Android Wear

Rebooted into TWRP

adb sideload ASUS_Zen_watch_3_Kernel_29_January_2018.zip & rebooted system

Rebooted into TWRP

adb sideload ANDROID_WEAR_1.5_2.0_Root.zip & finally rebooted system last time.

Everything seems to have gone well, except when I try to download AW apps from my phone I get "Cannot download [app]. Need bluetooth connection." Even though both the phone and the watch both have blutooth on and AW says they are paired & connected.

Thanx in advance for any suggestions. I so hope the solution doesn't require starting over. :eek:
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: cannot download app from playstore

The problem you are having has nothing to do with your watch.

The watch has nothing to do with the ability to download apps

on your phone from the google playstore.

I would suggest to re-flash the firmware or rom for your phone and

making sure you can download apps using your phone's playstore

before you reset and flash your watch's rom.

Try downloading any apps from the playstore so you can see for

sure that you are able to do that before reflashing the watch's rom.

Make sure your wifi on your phone is working properly before

doing anything else.

Good luck, have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] seeker9:
Thank you for responding, and thank you to all who were involved in developing this rom.

Let me rephrase the problem.

- Prior to installing this rom, the watch was on stock AW2.0 and had no issues with app-to-app communication between it and my phone, which, BTW has been running Viper 10.3.5 rom flawlessly, & spectacularly since April 2017.

- Prior to installing this rom, neither watch nor phone had any problems downloading apps directly from the playstore.

- After installing and setting up this rom on the watch (see my initial post), it

can

download, via wifi, directly from the playstore any apps that support direct download (like watch face apps).

- What it

cannot do anymore

is install to the watch via bluetooth any of the AW apps that are on the phone. Watch reports, "Cannot download [app]. Need bluetooth connection." (Apparently, not all AW apps can be gotten directly from the playstore to the watch via wifi).

- Neither can any of the AW apps installed independantly via wifi, on the phone and on the watch, communicate with each other. They show as "Disconnected", even while Android Wear says it's connected to the watch.

So, I have to disagree that the problem is with the phone's firmware. It has no wifi issues, and no

other

problems with bluetooth connections. The issue with the watch began after installing this rom, kernel, & root. I was hoping this was a known problem and someone could tell me the simplest way to sort it out, but it seems I'm the first :D with this particular problem.

Anyway, even with this issue, my experience now with this watch has greatly improved; most of the many annoyances I had with it are now alleviated, or gone. Thank you.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] APTXDAVE:
It appears the software may just be corrupt and the bootloader is not correctly unlocked. The watch appears to be in fastboot mode but when i type fastboot devices in cmd it doesnt display the device.

Neither the stock or TWRP Recovery is there - any attempt to boot into recovery leads to a dead android icon.
