I reflashed everything again to go through tutorial again get stuck when it requests to long press for Google assistant when i long press it takes me to settings.

Still stuck with only weather under my feed.
[LG G Watch] brostar2017:
Sounds as if the tutorial hasn't been completed the watch will give step by step instructions. Are you using the new image or original image
[LG G Watch] HanysTG:
Is there somebody with same problem?
[LG G Watch] immmyh:
Hi after some research i think its actual google now on watches. It only shows what appears basically on the widget which is only really weather and travel times. As this also happens on 1.5.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

Gotta say this port is spot on but i do miss some of the graphics on 1.5 and feel 2.0 is overly flat and simple. I guess its maybe just me but id love a happy medium of both 1.5 and 2.0.
[LG G Watch] Udzi:
Everything is working fine so far with Wear 2.0 but i'd like to root it. Somebody did it successfully? If yes - how?

The only reason for me to root it is because of the virbation strength.

Cheers

twrp recovery bootloop how to fit it?

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/10/android-wear-beta.html interesting.
[LG G Watch] magicstick5:
You need to use stock recovery. Then erase and format partitions and then flash.

After that you can flash TWRP again
[LG G Watch] bilal_shaikh:
its not booting at all
[LG G Watch] Alexandgut:
Well there have been many people who have gotten it to boot up. If you post more information (like how you flashed it) , chances are someone would be able to help you out.

stuck to loading screen

Hello! i tried 2 times to install the img and system after i watch tutorial .. i enable adb... unlocked the device... and flash those files... i dont know what i m doing wrong... can i get some info please?
[LG G Watch] Alexandgut:
The problem with the video is it tells you to enter the command "fastboot erase." You should use the command "fastboot format" instead and then flash system and boot.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

That is a lot of steps. The only commands I have ever had to use is fastboot format followed by flashing system and boot.

I have never had any trouble with copying my Google account over so I never had to trouble shoot it. Hope you got it working and sorry for the late reply.
[LG G Watch] iamdarkyoshi:
Wonderful ROM, seems to be working nicely on my G watch. However, I hardmodded a button into the side like the newer android wear 2.0 watches because I make use of google assistant, which is supposed to wake from a long press of the button. But it launches the settings drawer thing instead.

The button on the bottom was simply relocated on mine to the side.

How difficult would it be to get the assistant to work as intended?
[LG G Watch] svprm:
Try this app

[LG G Watch] iamdarkyoshi:
I've got a physical home button though. I modified the watch case and PCB to accomodate one.
[LG G Watch] sjrmac:
How did you do it? I'd like to see personally
[LG G Watch] iamdarkyoshi:
Its not done yet, but I desoldered the original button and bodged a right angle one in, and drilled a hole in the side of the watch chassis. Then I put a metal plug in it that actuates the internal button when pressed. I haven't finalized the metal plug yet. Right now its a copper wire, eventually will be replaced with a nice stainless steel plug. But it behaves like its supposed to on the watch, with the exception of long pressing to launch the assistant, instead launching settings.
[LG G Watch] Lijop:
Guys, the assistant is not getting launched on okay google command and your feed isn't showing no updates for now. check back later. can anyone help?
[LG G Watch] Alexandgut:
Did you enable Ok Google detection under settings>personalisation?
[LG G Watch] Lijop:
Yeah. Still no go.
[LG G Watch] Ga1axyGamer:
I have tried almost every method I have seen on here but I keep booting back to the bootloader (also when using twrp after flashing to factory reset it says that it can't startfs system)

I have followed this tutorial

https://xdaforums.com/g-watch/general/tutorial-avoid-bootloop-porting-wear-2-0-t3656825

at least 6 times and quite a few others as well and I still cant get past the bootloader

(However stock 6.0.1 boots just fine)
[LG G Watch] Thisisabadname:
Did you try using stock recovery to flash? Some people have been having that issue when TWRP is installed.
[LG G Watch] Ga1axyGamer:
Yep tried both stock recovery and TWRP still no dice
[LG G Watch] kimxk:
Did you format or erase the partitions?

If I do a factory reset on mine, it bootloops until I connect via fastboot and format the userdata and cache partitions.

Running stock recovery btw, never had twrp on the watch.

I've never seen the startfs error.
[LG G Watch] Ga1axyGamer:
Did both erase and then format and still stuck on bootloader.... guess I am just going to buy a watch that got the official update.... *sigh*
[LG G Watch] kimxk:
Silly question, but did you unlock the boot loader?

There will be an unlocked padlock under the LG startup logo.
[LG G Watch] Ga1axyGamer:
Yes the bootloader is unlocked
[LG G Watch] Dsrocks690:
Can't connect with phone properly

Recently I installed the rom on my lg gwatch, and when I tried to connect it with my iPhone. The watch would say to continue setup on phone... while my phone says checking for updates. If I factory reset this issue persists, and it prevents me from using my watch with my iPhone. If anyone can help out that would be great. I have tried to wait it out... but it just keeps spinning. I am running the latest android wear app... and the new rom version.
[LG G Watch] Smokexz:
Alright I am lost, how do I use voice search? I can't find a single gesture to bring up voice dictation.
[LG G Watch] kimxk:
Settings, personalisation, ok Google detection.

Then say ok Google.

Uses more battery of course.

Edit: if you mean in apps, e.g. play store, hit the microphone icon when you search.

[LG G Watch] HaloTechnology:
seems like the development is dead for this watch :(
[LG G Watch] kimxk:
Have there been any developments in Android Wear 2.0 itself at all to need an update to lenok2dory?
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
I reverted back to W1.5 for a while, but was wondering. Considering all of the new updates to Android Wear past 2.0(2.5, now 2.6), it seems like some updates are being sent through the AW app instead of as an OTA update.

Could this Watch port receive these enhancements?
[LG G Watch] funkybrunk:
AW 2.0 is pretty cool, in that the majority of the updates will come from the play store via the AW app. In fact, 2.6 just dropped, and it adds a recent apps complication and some additional connectivity info in the notification drop down. I updated this morning, and I see the updates on my Dory.
[LG G Watch] kimxk:
Yeah, that's what I was saying,i.e. no changes needed to the ROM yet.
[LG G Watch] Pouriyakmi:

It might be useful if you post some errors so that maybe people can help.
[LG G Watch] Kant73:
Did you succeed to get ok Google and feed working? Exact same issue for me...
[LG G Watch] antares_requiem:
Ok guys, advices for everyone with issues. Since I was the whole afternoon troubleshooting each different scenario :)

1) if having issues to unlock bootloader, just use any of the Rootjunky tool: https://xdaforums.com/g-watch/development/script-lg-g-watch-tool-t2820863

a) I recomend to use the same ADB tools and Fastboot tools from this tool to flash img files from the first post, under fastboot menu.

2) if bootloop then try presing the hardreset button from the back for 10 seconds to reboot.

3) if the bootloop continues, try doing the hardreset and then swipe diagonal up left corner to the bottom right corner at the LG logo boot icon to get into bootloader menu, then go to recovery and delete cache - data files

4) if the problem persists repeat 3)

5) if the problem persists, use 1) tools to flash back into stock (works perfectly if bricked or bootloop) (no need to lock-unlock bootloader at this time... you should be already unlocked)

6) when the watch boots suucessfully under stock old rom, then repeat from 2)

Success! or go back to previous items until it works :)

PD: as already mentioned in the posts, if you are having difficulties to find your apps or faces remember under Wear2 you need to go into the watch apps and apply-download the faces again (it does not happen automatically in sync as in Wear1... a pitty, specially since our LG G watch may take a long time downloading them internally and applying... so be pacient.
[LG G Watch] Bushrod:
How can we trigger Assistant?

Edit: Nevermind. OK Google is working for me now!
[LG G Watch] magicstick5:
Clearing up a few issues

1. "My installation bootloops"

Go into TWRP, wipe everything but internal storage. Reboot to bootloader. On PC

fastboot format cache

fastboot format userdata

fastboot flash boot [insert path of boot.img here]

fastboot flash system [insert path of system.img here]

fastboot reboot

When you see LG logo, enter bootloader mode by swiping diagonally from top left to bottom right. Reboot into TWRP, factory reset and reboot system. It should boot.

2."Stuck on updating"

Be sure to keep phone next to watch, make sure AW app is updated on phone. If all else fails, do a CLEAN (wiped via TWRP: everything but internal and then install again. Be sure to follow the installation steps.

3. "Nothing syncs"

In AW 2.0, apps are installed on the watch instead synced via phone. Use the play store and locate the "Apps on Phone" panel (scroll down) and install those. It will take a bit due to the watch lacking WIFI.

4. "Laggy and slow"

Be sure to not use the watch extensively during the first hour or so, as it is syncing, installing apps, etc. Those consume resources. If you attempt to do too much during this, the watch will run out of ram and crash (unresponsive) for some time. To be safe, just let it sit and do it's thing.

#Be sure to do a CLEAN installation and wipe both cache and userdata. Follow the steps and video (in OP). If you bootloop, get to TWRP and hit a factory reset#

#Watch will take quite a long time to start, don't panic. 5 mins+#

And keep in mind this is the first release. There will be a few bugs here and there. (I have yet to see any though).
[LG G Watch] Bushrod:
Definitely Number 4. Even uninstalling apps seems to slow it to a crawl.
[LG G Watch] magicstick5:
Been about 4 hrs since my clean installation.

Watch is running smoothly with little stutter. There is a 1-2 second delay when launching assistant though.
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
Well, RIP. My watch is stuck in a bootloop right now and I just tried everything you mentioned. Didn't work. Still bootloops. Next I tried RootJunky's recovery tool to flash the watch back to stock. Usually works every time but for the first time, even that bootlooped! Now, when trying to wipe stuff in TWRP, it doesn't work and complains about a partition error? (I didn't look to closely at that error).

So yeah, my watch is a bit screwed right now but I'll keep trying to get it to work... Any help would be appreciated...

EDIT: Now that I looked at it closer, it says failed to mount /system, no such device, etc... Oh and TWRP warns me that no OS is installed (double RIP)

EDIT 2: Flashing the img files through Fastboot shows no problems and it goes successfully.
[LG G Watch] magicstick5:
Reboot into bootloader and flash older MM images. You can find a them here in this forum. Then you can try installing again

Basically install MM Boot and system images and reboot watch into fastboot.

Connect to PC and flash both MM ones. You should be good.

Fastboot flash boot ...

Fastboot flash system ...
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
I got it working, thanks! It is a bit slower and the lack of default watch faces is a bit... Disappointing?

Otherwise everything works now!

Edit: Okay, this update has been nothing but confusing :p. All of a sudden I have a boatload of Watch Faces (all round, for some reason). Now I feel like you guys are messing with me... (Still sluggish though)

EDIT 2: *I made Android Wear 2.0 a lot smoother!* All I did was turn off "Always-On Display". Now everything is (mostly... screw Assistant and Messanger) buttery smooth. Switching it back on adds a considerable delay before the watch is usable in any way and introduced lag back. Oh and seriously, give the watch a solid hour or 2 for it to install apps/updates from the Play-Store. Don't even THINK about touching it until it has calmed down. Speaking from experience.
[LG G Watch] jackie_jagger:
Been stuck on the squiggly circle boot screen for a while (about 30 mins) just hit the reset button on the back of the watch. Will report back if it boots.

EDIT: No luck, rebooted to twrp to wipe but I can't. Since it fails to mount /system etc.

---------- Post added at 21:00 ---------- Previous post was at 20:05 ----------

could you link me to the MM images you used to revert back please? Can't seem to find them. :(
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
Actually, I never used the MM images :D. I just flashed the system.img several times out of frustration and then left my watch for a while. When I came back it was on the Wear 2.0 Welcome screen XD. Other things that may have contributed to fixing it would be "fastboot format cache and userdata".

Also, if all else fails, try using RootJunky's LG G Watch recovery tool. You can use that to at least get out of a bootloop and get back to lollipop, upgrade, and try again. YMMV though as it didn't work this time for me.

http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=LG G Watch/G Watch Script Tool

Just mess around with your watch formatting/flashing I guess and some random combination I havn't pinned down yet should make it work. Good luck!
[LG G Watch] jackie_jagger:
Interesting, just gonna give it a try. I assume you did nothing in TWRP?

J
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
Yeah, I didn't/couldn't do much in TWRP... You know, considering Wiping would fail because it can't mount /system, etc. I did notice the general file structure was there though using the file manager, which was interesting to see.

Hope that helps... Maybe try my anger flashing until it works :D (jk)
[LG G Watch] jackie_jagger:
Okay it worked !!

So I ended up doing the doing this:

Step 1: Reboot to bootloader

Step 2: fastboot format cache

Step 3: fastboot format userdata.

Step 4: fastboot flash boot boot.img & fastboot flash system system.img

Step 5: fastboot reboot bootloader and voila !

First boot took some 6-8 mins but it worked!!

Thanks a lot
[LG G Watch] NoMercyWWE:
Rom works but looses connection to my P9 often according to the built in PlayStore. Signal itself says it stays connected. I have installed the Launcher for Wear and donated. So far no crown necessary for opening app drawer
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
My theory is that just typing erase userdata/cache isn't enough. The common thread here seems to be the

"Step 2: fastboot format cache

Step 3: fastboot format userdata. "

Maybe we figured it out?

Oh and is it smooth for you? After several hours of use, my watch has settled down quite a bit. It's not laggy at all most of the time. Only real slow down I noticed is with some apps like Messanger, Fit, Assistant?, etc.
[LG G Watch] jackie_jagger:
Yea definitely seems like it. At least in our case that seemed to be the issue.

I've just put it on charge, the constant flashing drained some 50% of the battery haha. BUT it has been fairly smooth so far - I'm trying to figure out how to install apps though since 2.0 doesn't install them from them phone?
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
You think that's bad? Me in my infinite wisdom decided that it would be a good idea to go through this whole debacle when the watch was at 2% (not the brightest idea, I know). It worked out fine because most of the time i was trying to fix it, it was sitting on the charger.

As for getting apps, just open the Watch Play Store. If you scroll a bit you'll see a section that shows you the apps installed on the phone. Get ready for the worst lag ever though while it's updating and installing.

Oh and enable Google Assistant in the settings btw.
[LG G Watch] jackie_jagger:
What lag ?? Oh god damn that is bad !!

yikes at 2%? That is insane, well I hope our issues help someone out and get them out of a fix.

I think I'll just let the watch update and install for the next hour or two lol.
[LG G Watch] Mr Beardsly:

Anyone able to sync google play music offline?

Edit: I was a able to do this after rebooting the phone and choosing what songs to sync to the watch from the phone app in settings. This works great with a bluetooth headset! But I have a new question: Anyone know how I can get podcasts to the watch offline?
[LG G Watch] joenathanhans:
Can you explain how to revert back to W1.5? Thanks in advance
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
There's a tool somewhere in these forums that allows you flash back the AW1.X, but you'll have to redownload all the updates (including the monthly ones) leading up AW 1.5 one by one. You can find the back to stock tool around here quite easily, but I'll see if I can find the link when I get home.

In the meantime, any news of Android 8.0 port?
[LG G Watch] johanneslol111:
I am running this port for a while now. I really love it! :) Is there any chance for a 8.0 port? Anyway thank you so much for taking the time so far to make this watch run android wear 2 already!
[LG G Watch] screwedbyexisten:
I just found my G Watch (okay my son found it) and I remembered how lame it was. It's still slow, but this ROM puts new life into it.

Thanks Dev!!!!!
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
Just recently found interest in playing around with android wear, found a really cheap swr50c (Sony Smartwatch 3) for 35 Bugs but also saw to late that AW2 was never completed, so I sold it for 50 and got the LG W100 in great conditions for just 25 Bugs, now waiting for it to arrive and give some lenok2dory treatment...

That this was archived adds a very special value to this watch - especially for those who love to tinker around with Android, Oreo would be a really great surprise, let's hope for some good news the next weeks...

Cheers
[LG G Watch] Ukulelen:
Unfortunately, no. The android wear 2.0 OS used for ain this thread, for the LG g watch, is a port from Lg g watch R which happens to have some of the same hardware (if I understand it correctly). LG g watch R won't get the 8.0 update, so there will most likely not be a 8.0 port for the lg g watch either http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/12/09/google-announces-android-wear-watches-will-get-oreo-update/.
[LG G Watch] johanneslol111:
Ah that is to bad ! But well this build already works great so :) No complains here! I love that it also got updates of the wear version!
[LG G Watch] whitemoo:
Havent read through this entire thread, but heres my experience flashing this to my G watch:

I was on ubuntu 14.04, when i put it in the cradle it and check adb devices it would say "?????? no permissions", eventually i found out that i had to add a device descriptor in order for adb/fastboot to recognize my watch.

I then had issues with my watch falling in and out of adb/fastboot, found it to be the contacts on the back of the watch, scratched the rust off and everything went good, unlocked bootloader, then flashed the boot/image.

I havent had the need to upgrade, but recently i havent been able to load music to my LG G watch using Google music. Found out they changed it so you have to have the app on your watch in order for it to sync music to it, which obviously 1.5 cant do. Pretty crap move, as i only ever use this watch for playing music while running, least its updated now.

Thanks for this image OP!
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
It should still be possible with "Sony Walkman" App but they also only support AW1.x till App-Version 8.x, from Version 9.x it is no longer possible, leaving all older devices unsupported behind - so I guess if you use an older and therfore outdated version from i.e. APK MIRROR it's still possible, as long as the App isn't up to date - what a shame...

At least Dory made the jump to AW2.x with a possibility to update Android Wear through Play Store, which is indeed a great achievement, even the Android Version will remain forever nougat...

Edit:

Now that I've read through the whole thread, what a ride :)
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
Flashed from stock Marshmallow to Nougat (AW2, lenok2dory) within 15 minutes, just did:

-fastboot oem unlock

-fastboot format userdata (&cache)

-fastboot flash boot (&system)

-let it boot up, takes almost 10 minutes, update to AW2.7

-fastboot flash recovery twrp3.0.0 with squashfs support

it's important to flash TWRP after you successfully booted "lenok to dory" as otherwise boot issues may occur, flashing TWRP should be the last step

No issue, no problems, all just fine - thanks everyone involved!

Next I'll flash the modified (true dual core) boot image from page 52, first post and the system image virtual homebutton thread with inbuilt homebutton support...

Edit: works just great in this setup! Just added another fantastic addon (strangely best stuff is for free) "wearbttn" from play store - this way the energy hungry "Google assistant always listen" can be switched off without losing to much functionality, just set one complication as "Google assistant" and trigger it from the watchface.. Done

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

By the way,

latest Magisk (up to 17.3 as of now) can be flashed via TWRP (ADB push the file to /sdcard/, same works with osm0sis busybox magisk module),

mixplorer as file manager works great too,

"ADB wm density 175" makes most apps readable (it changes the DPI permanently!)
