1st of all, something you can all laugh about:

I didnt know about the doublepress2theatre-function... (hahaha the blade didnt know :silly:)

I used the hand-on-watch-function for that :laugh:

The biggest thing for me is: sliding on homescreen = select watchface -.- [omg wtf is that?] (the "f" is not meant rude)

I dont want to use the button at all.

So maybe tasker (including autowear, weartasker or wearshell) could help us here?

I dont know nothing about AW2.0 but I heard, you can install "native" apks.

Anyone tested if we could create an apk with taskers' export2app-function (app factory) and install it as app on the watch?

Also, are you guys all rooted on official 2.0?

Gratefully

Blade
[Huawei Watch] BIade:
Ok everything works perfect now. :)

Root, Tasker, AutoWear, WearShell, BeanShell...

Does anybody know, if we can use something like imgdata-tool to replace the "Booloader-unlocked-image" ?

(I used that to theme my bootloader images of my nexus5, including "charge while off"-image and "bootloader-unlocked"-image)

Did aw2 do away with the notifications popups on the watch? I can only see my notifications when i swipe up now.
[Huawei Watch] Eremitus:
For me the notifications will show couple of sec, then disappear. They aren't popup like in AW1.5, but fullscreen instead.

There should be little dot bottom of the screen when you have notifications waiting, but it's bugged and not showing for me atleast.

This is how it should be: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72259332&postcount=24
[Huawei Watch] redvfr02:
Thanks. My watch doesn't have that little dot. Other than some buzzing from some apps nothing else happens unless i swipe
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
That only shows IF you have one of the AW2.0 supplied watch faces: you can get those from the Play Store: ustwo, but there are several. Just search from your watch. It is the same one as comes on the LG Watch Sport.
[Huawei Watch] Eremitus:
Oh you are propably right. I think there are couple AW2.0 compatible watch faces which came with update. Also installed that "ustwo". Those Huawei's own faces aren't updated for AW2.0 it seems.

Edit: thanks, that was the trick!
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
I used Pujie Black and Instaweather and get normal AW 2.0 notifications same as the Huawei stock faces.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
AFAIK, none of the "stock" HW1 faces show the dot. I had thought so to, but they don't. I don't get a dot with Pujie Black either, IIRC.
[Huawei Watch] Soneliem:
To keep the notifications on, you have to go to settings, notifications, notification preview and then set it to always. Idk why this isn't default.
[Huawei Watch] baxy:
This setting shows the notification full screen until dismissed
[Huawei Watch] Soneliem:
Which is better than nothing. I also find this quite intrusive. Hopefully there will be an option to have a smaller preview.

Btw the dot for notifications is a feature made by ustwo. Only some of their watchfaces have them.
[Huawei Watch] Eremitus:
Well it's AW2.0 feature for sure, tho different AW2.0 faces shows it little differently. AW2.0 have pre-installed couple of googles own faces, Elements analog and Elements digital. They will show a dot with number (how many notifications are waiting).
[Huawei Watch] Soneliem:
Oh, I didnt know that! I just realised the fact that you can change the background of the watchface to the album art. Thanks for the heads up!

Edit: I also noticed that Places and Portions also have this feature. It must be available on most watchfaces.
[Huawei Watch] Soneliem:
For those irritated with the Do not disturb sync cancellation that came with android wear 2.0, you might like this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.blunden.donotdisturbsync

"Android Wear 2.0 removed synchronization of the Do Not Disturb state between the watch and the phone. This application restores the Android Wear 1.5 behaviour with minimal or no battery life impact." - Part of app description.

I have not tested this app as I dont need it.

NvM. There is already an xda post for that:

Been using it for two weeks along with the app and AutoWear to automate theater mode again. ;)
[Huawei Watch] CC850:
I finally side loaded the linked apk. You don't even need Tasker or AutoWear if you use it as a complication. I use Minimal & Elegant and have the app set as a double tap interactive function. Now I just need Brightness Boost setup the same way.

have a Huawei Watch Fit 2 watch, I want to install Wear IS, how can I do this, please let's do this, software developer friends, please help me.
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
Yep, keep laughing. Good luck buddy.

I have 2 of these beatiful watches. It's not like I don't want the upgrade. It's simply not going to happen with the speed people are looking for. Again, this is Android not IOS. and it doesn't matter if it's running on a phone or a watch.
[Huawei Watch] BadContext:
Thanks for answering the questions! Good luck to you too! :)
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
Basing my information on my own experience of being an android users for years and most importantly, realistic expectations and common sense from anyone who knows how the Android eco-system works. Does that qualify as an answer?
[Huawei Watch] BadContext:
Not coming here for an argument, but you already have provided a false equivalency between full Android (smartphone OS) and Android Wear (smartwatch OS). Google has always regretted giving the OEMs so much control over the UI/UX of their operating system on smartphones. This has caused major delays in OEMs making major OS updates as they have to devote teams to updating the, oftentimes heavy, UI and custom apps. This is why Nexus phones get their updates faster (more Android Pure, less bloat). The problem only gets worse when you throw in the cellular providers into the mix (e.g. Verizon, AT&T, etc.). Once the OEM finishes the heavy lifting of their UI and custom apps, the cellular carriers then have to update their branding and custom apps, thus providing yet another level of delay. Heck, I'm waiting for nougat on my s6 Edge, which Samsung has finally made available a month ago, but is waiting on Verizon (and probably will be for several months more).

These just aren't issues for Android Wear as Google held onto UI/UX control and most watches don't go through a cellular carrier. Ever notice all Android Wear watches have the same interface? With the Developer Preview being available in-house at Huawei for months, I just can't see why it would take them months more after the full release to update a few watch faces and apps. They should have already taken care of that on the Developer Preview. Also, they don't have to deal with the UI nor do they have to wait on cellular carriers.

I've been saying that, in my opinion, the current delays are due to Google and the OEMs wanting to make more money off of sales of the new AW2.0 watches (AW2.0 being the main selling feature). Based on stock availability, I would say it's working. You're saying the current delays are basically due to business as usual. We're probably actually arguing the same thing. In the end, I hope we're both wrong and we see an update in the coming days.

Good luck to all of us!
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
Sorry don't mean no arguments, just a bad day lol.

I have had Nexus S3, note 3, note 4, note5, Nexus 6, 6p, 5x, pixel xl, and now S7 edge. I am aware of all what you have mentioned above. No matter what the reason is, sales or OEMs, the result is the same. Upgrades not reaching to consumers like me and you in a timely fashion.

I would be happy to be proven wrong, and will come back here and admit I was with a smile on my face. I think we see the upgrade around mid March.
[Huawei Watch] BadContext:
Sorry to hear about the bad day, hope it gets better! And I agree with you, probably mid or even late March. If I'm wrong (*crosses fingers*), I'll be here with you to admit it!
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
I think you are both right about the delay. IMHO, since HW2 is due out soon, Huawei is prolly waiting so sell that first, then update our existing DP HW1 watches, to "get a piece of the pie" like LG has done. Just my opinion...
[Huawei Watch] Kaczman:
still no update lol
[Huawei Watch] pingvinen:
Go for DP5, it works fantastically well despite the more cumbersome installation process. But it was worth it!

:confused:
[Huawei Watch] fpippo1999:
Yes, very fast and good DP5
[Huawei Watch] mickymazda:
Pingvinen, I couldn't be bothered waiting any longer so installed DP5. However, when pairing with my nexus 6p the watch got to the "Checking for Updates" message and sat there. After an hour I figured it was going nowhere, so rebooted it, deleted the cache and data from the Android Wear app, then uninstalled and reinstalled the Android Wear app. Rebooted the watch and the same thing. Grrrr. Sounds like it went by the numbers for you, and clue what went wrong with mine. (I've flashed the original image back now)
[Huawei Watch] pingvinen:
No idea. I have a Huawei P9 phone. Pairing went fine, but the the initial watch boot took almost 20 minutes to complete. Crossing my fingers for you.
[Huawei Watch] lupin87:
Same issue I met before.

If u get long time to wait "Checking For Updates", try to factory reset watch.

Sorry, In fact just reading the posts around the date DP5 was released, and its noted that the DP4 is still the latest its just the apps that get updated ota?
[Huawei Watch] mantidae:
Being inspired by this thread, while waiting for official 2.0 I installed DP and I must say it's pretty neat. There are some bugs here and there but nothing you cannot live in daily base use. I'll stick with it until official arrives and I don't have such pressure anymore to check this thread 4 times a day or being disappointed with green screen; system is up to date :):)
[Huawei Watch] pingvinen:
Are you also using a Huawei phone? I noticed that the problem described by [MENTION=8086159]mickymazda[/MENTION] was with a Nexus phone? Also, I am on Nougat/7.0 if that can affect the pairing with an AW 2 device.

No I'm on Xiaomi Mi5. Everything went smooth.
[Huawei Watch] mickymazda:
Interesting. I've got a Galaxy S4 laying around, I'll try re-flashing tomorrow with that rather than the Nexus. Wish me luck :)
[Huawei Watch] Moguledyouth:
I'm on a Nexus 6 and everything went smooth, one thing you might want to do is make sure you are using the latest versions of ADB and Fastboot. I initially had problems flashing etc. because I had an older version of Fastboot etc. Below is a link to just the core sdk files (around 4mb). The link below will always be up to date with the latest version from Google. Also make sure you don't have any older versions lurking on your machine that could be being used automatically and remove / replace them with the below version.

From Huawei support:

"As Android wear 2.0 is made by Google, I don't have any infomation regarding when update will come to your device. I do know the they should have finished testing the update for the Huawei watch, so it should not be much longer."
[Huawei Watch] mohsinraza:
What I don't understand is this:

Some say the update is going to be rolled out by Google as this Huawei support guy. Some say Google has handed over AW 2.0 to OEMs on 15th and they're testing it now. If Google is to release the update then why Huawei's testing it and what do they've to do with the update? And if Google is in charge, then we should expect it sooner than later IMO. I hope AW 2.0 lands at the earliest so we can get rid of all these confusions and enjoy the new OS. :D

Google Play store on the watch! that is the big improvement. Now I can add apps and watch faces. The rest does not work. replying to messages or making calls. no Google maps.... :(

But I can testify that it will be worth it. AW2 is sooo much better and nicer than 1.5. Everything is much more integrated and more polished.

Install Apps???

I've got the DP4 installed and it seems to be working OK - but I've tried refreshing apps from the Android Wear app and nothing happens - no apps are copied to the watch. Do I have to visit the Play store on the watch and reinstall each app?
[Huawei Watch] mohsinraza:
No one does it. I'm waiting for Nougat on my S7 Edge for ages. Support says just wait. It'll come when it'll come. HTC, IMO, is the best in this regard. Always update, always give a timeframe, almost always meet it, but the most important thing: THEY KEEP THE CUSTOMERS IN THE LOOP.

Yep that's something I could do but that's not something I expect from Samsung. Since my device is stable and bug free so I'm not going crazy over Nougat for now, but I expect quicker updates. Huawei has not said a word about the watch too. That's so irritating and unprofessional of them. Hopefully I'll get Nougat and AW 2.0 soon. :)

[Huawei Watch] Moguledyouth:
Read up on Android Wear 2.0, that's one of the main features. You install the apps you want directly to the watch from the Play Store app on the watch. They even list what apps you have installed on the phone that have watch counterparts for easy installation.
[Huawei Watch] rusty.gh:
One thing I feel you have very wrong is the idea that if Google is in charge of the ota it will be sooner. Google is not good, but just another big company now, they purposely held wear 2.0 back to sell their own new watches.
[Huawei Watch] mohsinraza:
With the recent discussion here looks like I was wrong regarding Google in charge because people here suggest otherwise. And that holding back thing, it's standard procedure. Just like Samsung is keeping S7 on 7.0 and will release S8 on 7.1.1. The basis of my proposition was the fact that since Huawei has a new watch coming, we might see more delay than Google would do with LG watches. But in either case, we gotta wait.

What are they doing? And why isn't anybody reaching out?

[Huawei Watch] pingvinen:
If it's such a big issue, why not do like many others like me? Download and install DP5. The instructions are quite clear, and the watch will be sooo much better after one or two hours of fiddling.

[Huawei Watch] csick:
They never specified a release date for when the HW would get 2.0. It's been all rumors and speculation. The only official word from Google was that AW 2.0 in general would launch in early 2017, which has been absolutely true.

Neither Google nor Huawei has promised you that the update for this watch would be out by now. No one is trying to mislead you. It sucks that it's not out but your options at this point are: 1)Wait for the update or 2)Flash the Developer Preview on your watch

Complaining on here isn't going to make the update come any faster.
[Huawei Watch] Fauert:
Hear, hear ... ?
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
Do you understand that not everyone wants to void their warranty and not everyone wants to potentially brick their watcher. Or use half baked OS. I'm so angry at your comment because you ignore all the drawbacks and question why doesn't everyone use it.
[Huawei Watch] pingvinen:
Cool down. It is of course up to everyone if they feel confident to flash the DP5 or not (which btw is not a "half baked os" but very close if not identical to the release version). In any case, it's just a watch. There must be other things in life to be annoyed with. Peace.
[Huawei Watch] rusty.gh:
Agreed, and I'm not that concerned, it will come, but you are way wrong. Google had told us last freaking year we would get Wear 2.0 end of third quarter or beginning of fourth. I'm not asking you about that, they did period. Then they decided to make their own couple of watches, and pushed the whole thing out, and the changes made since, didn't show that they simply were not ready.

Look I use google everyday, but it's way past time for all the xda peeps to realize google is no longer doing things or releases to make users happy. The money factor has gotten so big it has taken over.

BTW those two new watches are a joke. Only the one with NFC even has something new and both look like hell.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
Does it really void the warranty?
[Huawei Watch] NeedleGames:
Of course. Unless you are in Europe and can prove that tempering with software did not break the device (which is rarely possible to prove)
[Huawei Watch] pingvinen:
It would be interesting to see the ratio between successful and failed (bricked) flashing attempts. I have only read about one case in this thread, and that was obviously a pairing problem after a successful flash. Anyone?
[Huawei Watch] csick:
My watch came from Amazon, so it only had a 1 year warranty which just expired.

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

They did. And the version of AW 2 they had at the time was terrible so they delayed it to improve it, which they clearly announced.

Do you remember the first Developer Preview that everyone complained about? It didn't have a play store. It didn't have swipe to go back.

Thats right, no update for DP 5 or AW 1.5. My experience with DP5 is very positive. Smoother and faster than AW 1.5. Love the apps menu. A much needed improvement over AW 1.5

Please don't shout at me if this has been answered already. Is it worth flashing the latest DP if I'm using an iPhone? Previously versions just wouldn't work due to the iOS version of AW. Has anything changed? I can't see any updates to AW on the iPhone.

Since dp5 doesn't have an actual image I haven't seen anyone explain how they updated from DP4. Android Wear and system updates show no available updates.

I have small issues with Battery life. On 1.5 My Watch lasted 4 days. Everything on, except screen.

On 2.0 Its close to 2 days. Makes no difference if screen is always on or not. Theater mode doesn't help. I lose almost 20 % at night.

tried to reflash watch and phone but still...

One culprit was the heart rate app which needs an API-Update (Ask Google Assistant to measure your heartbeat and you will see..). Have to wait for Huawei or you can disable it and use another app.

Maybe that is one reason why we are waiting. Huawei is updating systemapps.

Is there an app to find wakelocks on the watch?
