What recovery, stock or TWRP? Because people reported better success when flashing TWRP after first boot of this Android 7.x ROM... If you flash TWRP before flashing the lenok to dory boot & system it's very likely to have issues!

If formatting userdata & cache before flashing boot & system in fastboot doesn't work it's probably best to flash back to stock (there's a tool in this forum to reset the watch back to stock) and start again with the suggested steps, follow them carefully, it worked flawlessly for me...
[LG G Watch] Alfredliu:
I flashed TWRP before flashing boot and system.So I will try to flash back to stock later.
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
Maybe it's enough to flash only stock recovery, it's linked here in the Lg G watch forums...
[LG G Watch] edi194:
Just flash stock recovery
[LG G Watch] Alfredliu:
It works.

Thank you so much:laugh:

What do you think of new H wear os version? Wish a port is possible in some way . Aside from this my watch became really fast and responsive in the last 2 days , those modular updates finally are optimized to not destroy watch performance
[LG G Watch] brostar2017:
I wish a port with the new UI would happen can't update to it declines it every time I click download via playstore
[LG G Watch] foxmonter:
Guys so far i got a few bugs.. or at least happens to me...

- Weather app not working.

- Feed app not working

- Sweeping from the left... there is sometime it shows wrong data in navegation shortcut...

- pretty lag (any tips ?)

- Incomming call does not show in the clock (is it need the LG app ??)

But the clock now it can be used... is a great rom daily to use...
[LG G Watch] sudoxd:
You can help with lag by changing animations to 0.5

Finally got everything working no errors or flaws with the home button version on the latest wear update out via playstore to with new U.I
[LG G Watch] hanschke:
I cannot get the update with the playstore so I like a new image for flashing :D
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
IKR? So much better, should've been what AW 2.0 was from the beginning.
[LG G Watch] googleygoggles:
Yes actually. Happens to me too. Long pressing the little button also does that for some reason. Not that big of a bug/problem so I don't care.
[LG G Watch] Dakura:
Any kernels for this rom?

Are there any kernels to make the watch run faster? I've disabled the animations but it still lags a lot.

Edit: Or is there a way to root this at least?
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
Lags are due to google assistant , I noticed that the watch was blazing fast 3 or 4 playstore updates ago ( wear os updates) . Sadly now it's terribly slow , and I'm asking myself wtf the assistant is doing to destroy performance on an hardware that 5 years ago was the medium range phones hardware. More than this I always get can't reach google message when I start the assistant on the watch. Everything else is working ok ( sending messages even via WhatsApp) . The only way to make it work is to open the assistant on the phone , but 1 minute after the screen is off , doesn't work . It's like pie is kilking google assistant , even with that and wear app excluded from battery optimization. What a mess google...
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah, you can flash TWRP and Magisk! Only systemless root like Magisk will work as /system cannot be modified on Dory but that is good enough... There're also several Kernel versions on this thread available, refer to this post:

https://xdaforums.com/g-watch/devel...android-wear-lg-g-watch-t3624441/post75971323

It's generally a good idea to dig into this thread a little, search and read, all information is posted here probably many times...
[LG G Watch] Dakura:
Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't look at all the comments because there were too many and they were too old, but they still work. Here is what i did for anyone playing with their watches in 2019:

install wear 2.0

install quad core boot file

flash twrp and magisk and some root apps

change dpi with adb shell wm density 175. I will play some more and see if the performance gets better.
[LG G Watch] amr_virusx:
you install lenok2dory wear 2.0 from the first post? the IMG and boot file?

and where is the quad core boot file?

and please what is the adb you use to change density ?

thanks
[LG G Watch] asmanao:
Good job, after wearOs update alla works fine :)
[LG G Watch] dark8899:
let me know what modules in magisk you find useful right now
[LG G Watch] Dakura:
Edit: i don't use any magisk modules.
[LG G Watch] dark8899:
For the watch ? :confused: strange selection
[LG G Watch] Dakura:
Oh sorry, i thought this was the phone forum :D I don't use any magisk modules for the watch, i just use lspeed, kernelauditorforwear and root essentials for the watch.
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
Hey guys , I read that someone is using lspeed mod on g watch how it's possible? And Is there any benefits to slightly speed up the watch? Sometimes it's really fast and fluid , but sometimes it stutter and lags hardly for the same thing
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
I do use LSpeed on Dory...

Just flash the latest Magisk zip in TWRP to gain root privileges and adb install LSpeed, a good source for the apk is apkmirror, check https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/paget96/l-speed-root/

Regarding app updates, the closest thing on adb to update the app later on is "adb install -r", this way you don't need to uninstall the older version just get the newest version running...
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
Twrp intsalled correctly, then when I try to flash last magisk.zip I get the error : failed to mount '/system' (no such device) . Wich version of magisk did you used?
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
That's "normal", just boot up and you'll see magisk manager being installed... System partition isn't in a modifiable file format, those errors always happen, luckily magisk only patches boot partition which is possible to modify, don't worry about the errors & about the message that "no OS is installed", TWRP just isn't able to read the file format of system properly...
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
Do I have to install magisk manager manually? Cause after flashing the last stable zip , magisk manager is not installed
[LG G Watch] r.kh:
Is the watch connected to the phone and notifications are on the wach?
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
I just can't get magisk to root the watch , magisk manager is installed , but all the magisk.zip versions I tried to flash through twrp recovery just don't work . Yesterday I foune the guide here on xda , and seems like the magisk.zip is not the standard one , but a modded version that was hosted on mega ( and it's no more available)
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
Just use the standard version 18.1 from

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

usually the manager should be installed, you can however simply get the apk from the link above and install it separately - I never had issues, by the way are you on lenok2dory?
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
Yes I'm on leonk2dory , factory reseat 2 days ago , last twrp for dory downloaded from twrp official website , and magisk v18.1 zip downloaded from the website you provided. Those are the screens

Edit: I ve done it the hard way . I transferred quad core boot.img to smartphone and patched it with magisk's last 18.1 zip . Then I flashed it via fastboot to gwatch ... Perfectly working , you still need to sideload and install magisk manager via adb . I share the pre patched quad core boot.img with anyone having my same problem
[LG G Watch] HanysTG:
What are the best boot and system now? Any tips with flashing?

Also can somebody help me. My watch keeps trying to connect to wifi instead of using phones internet while I am trying to launch Android Market. How can I enter Google Play? No luck with tethered internet via bluetooth from other device too.

I have Wear OS app on iOS.
[LG G Watch] Styleshman:
Hi Friends,

I installed the lenok2dory today by following all the steps. Everything went as described except the end.

After reboot command, my watch is constantly on the boot logo of Google or wear OS.

Any solution for this?

UPDATE

I have found the solution (which has worked in my case at least). While the G Watch is stuck on boot logo, press the reset button on back of the watch with help of a pin. The watch will restart and That's it. I will start after a while (5 minutes in my case) and will let you complete the setup and use your watch.
[LG G Watch] wizzardsk:
I noticed that the temperature on my watch is displayed in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. How to switch it back?
[LG G Watch] imation_nz:
I am running Dory fine but looking to Root and speed up alittle I am not sure what best commands to use in ADB to load it on my watch can you advise... I tryed using LG G Watch Restore Tools V9.8 but root does not seem to work :(

also i want to load that script to speed up the processors too what command to use for that as well??

Thanks guys :)
[LG G Watch] ariapakei:
Ok, so i just tried to install wear 2.0 on my w100 and guess what? It stuck..

So i have a couple of question,

1. Do i have to root the device when i unlock the bootloader? (I use the V9.8 rj tool)

2. I missed to do the fastboot -w at the end, did i screw up?

3. I've tried to reset and do the wiping but it still stuck

EDIT: Nevermind, it works now.. so, onto the next question:

What is the different between the system.img on folder 20.06.17 and 01.08.17 (yeah, i'm too lazy to read.. my bad).
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
Hi, can you install camera app on wear? I can see the app on playstore on watch , and if I try to install say installing and then nothing happens
[LG G Watch] Styleshman:
Hi everyone.

I need your help for two things.

1. Want to roll back to official firmware i.e. WearOS 1.5

2. Want to lock the bootloaders again
[LG G Watch] kimxk:
No longer have my g watch to try, but there's a link to the stock images on page 50.

"fastboot oem lock" should relock the bootloader.
[LG G Watch] imation_nz:
Display Time Out??

Hey All

Loving the new update with the Tiles i must say it is quite abit faster handling things I downgraded to to the 2 core and batt is going ok will have to test more.

One thing i would love to be able to change is how long the display is on cause it always turns off will things are loading.

Any tips??
[LG G Watch] Mundoo:
Edit: Oh, wait. I know what you mean. I haven't had any coffee yet. blah. Most I can think of to keep the display on while apps are loading would be bump up to the 4 core kernel and make sure all of the cores can hit 1.2ghz. You can use Kernel Adiuator to set cpu parameters.

I use the 4 core kernel and just the other day I squeezed a day and half out of my battery. Helps to install the app called Naptime, that forces the watch to go into Doze. No problems with this, although it seems sometimes the always-on-display will turn off. But then it's only off for a minute until the screen needs to update the time and then it comes back on. Everything else works just fine.
[LG G Watch] wizzardsk:
Which update with the tiles?
[LG G Watch] Mundoo:

[LG G Watch] Sly_North:
Thx you, ab123321! I was wondering whether a smartwatch would be useful to me, and I got a LG G watch for free from a coworker to test it out before buying a more recent one (to get a faster watch with a better battery life). After flashing ab123321's system.img and the 4 core boot.img, I'm quite impressed by this watch.

The hardware is old and slow, so I gave up on advanced watch faces and launchers. The default software is snappier. Using the default digital face + a complication with shortcuts to the few apps I have is perfect. And I finished the first days with 60% of the battery, so I'm now running it in always-on mode (also because it takes up to 2 seconds after the wake-up gesture to get the screen on, annoyingly; now I can just look at it and read the time like on a regular watch).

Really a good ROM, the watch does what I need (calendar reminder + a few notifications). In the end: I think I'll just keep using it and I won't replace it.
[LG G Watch] car350:
I have battery drain, the watch last at much 8 hours. I flashed the quad core boot, shall I flash the dual core boot?
[LG G Watch] darren1:
I can get a full days use on the dual core boot.
[LG G Watch] car350:
Not me, flashed dual core boot and it's worse, see attached, not even the day, it was unplugged at 7 am not 5 as shown
[LG G Watch] benyms:
Thank you.

I bought the watch as the only one I got used, with Android wear at a reasonable price (like $ 50) and I have used it with pleasure for two years but longing for the most expensive watches of the competition, especially because the OS update.

I installed the 2-core boot.img from page 52 and the system version that includes the virtual launcher.

https://xdaforums.com/g-watch/themes-apps/app-virtual-home-button-android-wear-2-0-t3678426.

The only difficulty I encountered in the procedure is that I could not format the cache and userdata from fastboot, but I did it from recovery and had no problems.

After flashing everything, you have to wait several minutes for the first boot, and several reboots for everything to be installed and operating. In addition, I set aside a night for the installation and update of all apps and especially the new Android Wear OS for the watch.

It works perfect, with tiles and everything. although slow, but nothing that cannot be tolerated. I have one day testing it and the battery is going well. Thank you very much, first of all, to @ ab123321 for porting AW 2.0, to [MENTION=740671]svprm[/MENTION] for the version with the virtual button and to all who contributed to give new life to my old watch.

I feel like I'm having a new watch. Thanks
[LG G Watch] svprm:
Glad to hear. Enjoy!
[LG G Watch] palmwangja:
Anybody has any experiences re: not installing any app from Playstore on watch recently? I haven't had any problem a couple of years ago when this rom was first released, and now I dug up this watch and tried again in vain. I already tried to factory-reset the watch, and re-sync it.
[LG G Watch] Sly_North:
When it happened with my previous phone, it was the phone that refused the Bluetooth device-to-internet connection while the phone's locked. I had to unlock the phone and keep its screen active to get internet (and Google Play) access. It's a ROM (mostly LeanageOS based) issue. With my new phone with a stock ROM, it works fine.
[LG G Watch] palmwangja:
Thanks, but the way I managed to work it out was by clearing cache/data of phone Play Store App, and reboot the watch. I have to wait and see though.

[LG G Watch] sethfoxen:
Anybody else getting the disconnect icon, even though the watch isn't disconnected?

Like, I could have my phone out, screen on, in the Wear app settings showing me that it's connected via bluetooth, and the watch STILL displays the little disconnect icon in the top left corner.

It still works, I still get notifications, and can interact with the watch and all the apps, so it's not ACTUALLY disconnected. It just shows that it is, for some reason.

I've flashed this AW2 port, and the "real dual core" bootloader. I've loaded Magisk, and used the Kernel Auiditer app to tweak some settings, but really this icon is the only gripe I've been having, and it's not even a major problem, just cosmetic. The icon isn't ALWAYS there, but I'd estimate it shows up about 70% of the time.

Anyone have any ideas?
[LG G Watch] buglyb:
Hello,

same problem with me... disconnect icon.
[LG G Watch] sudoxd:
Then connect it to your phone, the disconnected icon means it isnt connected
[LG G Watch] Mundoo:
The disconnect icon means the watch doesn't have access to the Internet.

I get this icon from time to time too, though exclusively when I'm at work. Unfortunately the icon comes bundled with massive battery drain for some reason. It barely lasts a few hours.

The icon will appear, and disappear, and appear, disappear, a dozen or more times per minute. I can watch it flicker on the screen in ambient mode.

It's usually solved by one of two things:

- Re-sign into the captive portal on my work's Wifi

- Reboot the watch, and also verify wifi is connected on my phone
[LG G Watch] sudoxd:
It's probably trying over and over to reconnect to your phone, mine isn't connected to my phone at all atm but even when it was and it was disconnected from Bluetooth there was no battery drain.
[LG G Watch] Mundoo:
Maybe. But notifications still came through perfectly fine. It's only an issue if my work wifi kicks me off the network, but the phone doesn't realize and doesn't fall back to LTE. If I sign into the network again the problem goes away.
[LG G Watch] ugothakd:
How does one go about compiling this from source? Android is well documented, but wearos, not so much, and there's a link to some code in the first page
[LG G Watch] agabey_42:
[MENTION=7534963]ab123321[/MENTION] and other friends. help me plaease. I've successfully installed Android Wear 2.0. but I can't find applications. There is an application section in the settings. but applications do not appear in it. What should I do to see apps?
[LG G Watch] Mundoo:
Put the watch on your wrist, and shake your wrist. It takes some practice, but that's the gesture to open the app drawer.

If it doesn't work, make sure gestures are enabled in Settings.
[LG G Watch] agabey_42:
thank you for the answer. does the application drawer open this way? weather, google and other apps drawer.
[LG G Watch] Mundoo:
Yes, it opens the app drawer which will list all of your apps.

If your watch installs the face-lifted WearOS where it goes "WearOS got a major update!" or something along those lines, and it tells you to press the side button to open the app drawer, the shake gesture will suffice and you can continue the mini tutorial.
[LG G Watch] agabey_42:
you are a very kind person. thank you. but I failed. I am very sad. is there also a problem with notifications? my notifications do not work.

My Watch = LG G WATCH W100

Rom = Wear 2,0 (port)
[LG G Watch] Mundoo:
I haven't had any problems. I wear the watch every day and the only issue I really have with it is that it's slow and laggy, and sometimes fails to boot. I think the emmc might be failing, as it sometimes gets stuck at the LG logo.

Regardless though notifications still arrive just fine.

Check your WearOS app and see if it says the watch is connected. Notifications should still arrive even if the cloud icon is displayed on the watch. It means it can't access the internet.

If it says it's not connected, try rebooting both your phone and the watch.
[LG G Watch] agabey_42:
thank you very much. unfortunately I do not receive sms, whatsapp and other notifications. only successful phone calls. The messages, whatsapp and other apps in the wearos app are open for notify.
[LG G Watch] Dakura:
Update?

I know we are not supposed to ask for updates, but can we at least get a stable build for our watch? Its still in beta for 2 years now.
[LG G Watch] rodken:
You are not going to receive much a response due to the fact that the updates to the OS are being handled via the WearOS app. Therefore, the G Watch version for this build should be currently on 2.31.0.284190117 as of this writing. The term "beta" would be considered a misnomer at this point and juncture.
[LG G Watch] Myrmeko:
Can you see the buttons from the Magisk root permission prompt?

I can't see them on my watch.

Is there any way to give root permission to apps with Magisk?
[LG G Watch] Axel85:
Sorry I unrooted the watch and now use a new one . If I remember correctly , you can always allow root automatically form magisk s settings
[LG G Watch] Alexoxo:

[LG G Watch] reepje123:

[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
Since wearOS version 2.35 the SDK (Android version) is outdated, so the LG G Watch won't get anymore updates on wearOS and will be stuck infinitely on this version, I don't think anyone will come up with another hack for Oreo but nonetheless the hack to Nougat bought us quite some time and let us experience wearOS 2.x in first place - thanks to anyone who contributed!

I for myself switched to AsteroidOS now, which offers enough to me and pleasantly surprises me, maybe not a solution for everyone but remember that the G Watch won't stop working just because it doesn't get new wearOS development!

Thanks for the ride, the various boot imagine and wear button! See somewhere else in future!

I have been running the Android Wear 2.0 version for a couple of years now - what exactly is the boot_quad and would it make much of a difference at this point?
[LG G Watch] darren1:
The original boot disabled 3 of the 4 cpu cores. There were custom boot.img files created to allow dual and quad cores operating. I haven't used my G watch for a couple of years but think I used to use the dual as I think the quad image hit the battery a bit more. I'm not certain though. I have copies of the dual image and dual_real image (which I'm pretty sure was the most reliable) if you want me to upload them so you can experiment?
[LG G Watch] rodken:
Yes, and thanks.
[LG G Watch] darren1:
Here you go, I have included the original boot.img as well in case you want to switch back. I'm almost certain I ended up using boot_dual_real.img.

On the YaDisk page there are two folders, one of them is from june and one from august, the august one has something called system4dory.img, what is this? Should i use this new one as the system image? or should i use both the files in the june folder?

EDIT: nevemind, i see you should use the system4dory.img instead of the older system img with the boot.img from the older folder (im using dual boot img instead)
[LG G Watch] darren1:
I would use the boot_dual_real.img rather than the dual image as it fixes a bug which meant all 4 cores were activated on the original dual image.
