Hi [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] thank you for your reply :). Health first! I had that flu a few weeks ago, it is very bad, sucks all the energy out of you.

The critical issue is the GPS monitoring must start at boot time. Let me know when you are feeling better and we shall discuss this further.

[Huawei Watch 2] eworrall:
Hi [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] hope you are feeling better. I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on reliably waking the Huawei watch up every 15 minutes.

Currently I've been playing with your ROM for Huawei, discovering the joys of SE Linux (my sticky root app didn't work - /System loaded nosudo).

I would love to hear your thoughts on how to achieve this.

Thanks, Eric

Anyone not able to update to the latest version?
[Huawei Watch 2] mrlb:
Hi [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] and everyone else here...

Have any of you played around with the Kernel Adiutor settings in order maximize battery life. I understand [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] has made his own optimizations in this rom/kernel. But I'm looking to push it further. I don't mind crippling performance of the watch as I rarely ever wake the watch up and interact with it (it simply just shows me notifications from my watch on an ambient watch face.)

If anyone has any recommendations of settings I'd love to hear. Otherwise I'll post back my findings. Cheers.
[Huawei Watch 2] MrContar1997:
I'd like to hear your findings, the idea of it is good, I'd like it if the adiutor had profiles so you could switch between high performance and battery saving, a custom "watch mode" that forwards notifications still would be nice

Would also love to be able to modify the watch mode watch face, if anyone knows how please let me know
[Huawei Watch 2] mrlb:
The CPU governor by default is set to 'ondemand' which apparently is optimised for performance however not the best on battery optimization. After some reading it seems 'conservative' recommended to be better on battery optimization compared to 'ondemand' however I didn't see it available to me. 'powersave' was available which apparently locks the CPU speed to the lowest set e.g 400mhz. I have set it to this and I'll see how it goes.

As for modifying the watch mode face I have never seen or heard anyone doing this. I think the watch actually boots into this mode, it's not a skin or overlay to wear os / android I think it's a standard alone bootable mode. I think it will be hard to mode.

LEO DLXX xqcn

hi,

I need xqcn file from a running watch, I can help with the procedure to obtainit

[Huawei Watch 2] glenner05:
ik installed the rom and sideloaded kernel audiutor, but it just keeps spinning and eventually tells me i'm not rooted when i try to open it on the watch? I also flashed the magisk.zip after installing the rom, so i guess i should be rooted? ALso when opening magisk manager on the watch, it asks me to donwload the full magisk manager, but it fails evry time. I'd like to change my CPU governor when needed, for exemple when going for a run with the watch in order to save as much battery as possible
[Huawei Watch 2] mrlb:
You need magisk... Then run kernel audiutor... You may need to go back to magisk and give kernel audiutor permission to run (select from the top left menu)

I also get that 'update' pop up.. I think it happens when your watch gets connected to wifi. I don't turn wifi on until after i get magisk and my rooted apps running.
[Huawei Watch 2] mrlb:
Its a bit early to be definitive but looks like I'm getting an extra 0.25-0.5 days out of the watch using powersave profile. I'm not really noticing any lag or performance loss but i'm also not interacting with it too much. I'd say this was a successful change for me.

@janjan would you considering adding in the 'conservative' CPU governor to this ROM if you decide to do any update in the future?

[Huawei Watch 2] mr-mauro:
I'm still using it :)

I ordered a Fossil Gen 5 but, after trying it, there was no reason to keep it. The performances are the same as the HW2 with your ROM :) Plus, the HW2 is much more elegant!
[Huawei Watch 2] mr-mauro:
I've a problem installing the rom on 'sawfish'. It doesn't install returning this error:

This packacge is for "sawfish"

devices: this is a "sawshark".

Clearly I'm on a only BT "sawfish" :) Installing the old rom that I've still on the watch it works smootly.

Any idea what can cause the device to be seen as sawshark just with the latest rom? Thanks!
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
Wait for a fix.. soon

Update: It should work now
[Huawei Watch 2] mr-mauro:
Thank you very much! It's working fine now! As usual, super smooth rom!!!

---------- Post added at 14:30 ---------- Previous post was at 14:17 ----------

Extra information: before I upgraded the ROM and was working fine. Now, I wanted to reset the smartwatch to pair it with a different smartphone and I go in bootloop in TWRP, even after deleting all data, cache, dalvin and system and reinstalling the rom. I'm trying to find out the reason of the bootloop in the recovery (it do the same if I flash the old rom too) :(

EDIT 1: I'm trying to flash the stock now to check if something else is broken :)

EDIT 2: Stock is booting :) I'm trying in a while again to flash the ROM :)

EDIT 3: After flashing back the stock and redoing all the procedure now is booting... Mystery why it wasn't working without flashing the stock in the middle of the process :)
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
You don't need to flash the twrp image. Just use

fastboot boot name-of-the-twrp.img in order to flash the new ROM etc.

That is the reason it goes to bootloop.
[Huawei Watch 2] Prof Peach:
Thanks for the update. Running BT version.

Initially I dirty flashed the update but it was pretty laggy so factory reset, reflashed busybox and magisk.

After reinstalling my apps, everything is running very smoothly and gpay works a treat. Will need to run for a while to see if there are any improvements in battery.

Many thanks for the update.
[Huawei Watch 2] Peppespa:
the rom is perfect and very fluid as always, the only drawback, I am trying to use the different governors, interactive it seems to me that you consume more battery, I don't know what to use for a good compromise, in my opinion powersafe limits performance a bit, especially with Google assistant that gets a little less responsive, what do you recommend, ondemand?

Inviato dal mio ONEPLUS A5010 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Huawei Watch 2] francyesco:
magisk still required to have gpay working?

so a factory reset is required to update from the oldest release?
[Huawei Watch 2] Topogigi:
Great ROM and KERNEL

I am very pleased by this ROM+KERNEL combo. No issues so far: device is very snappy and battery life is really good so far.

Many thanks to the developer: I really hope he will not abandon this project any soon....
[Huawei Watch 2] Kingkaktus:
Hi janjan

Great Rom So Far, but is Busybox and Magisk really needed for the Rom or is this optional?

Thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
Only if u wanna use root and Gpay.
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
Hello there.

I would like to thank everyone who send me some beer/donation. I really appreciate that. It motivates me to work further with these watches and bring something new in future. Thank so much again for all your donation. Have a nice weekend ??
[Huawei Watch 2] coconutxyz:
reboot the watch when i tried to long press to trigger google assistant, i do have magisk and busybox module installed

edit: turns out i dont have google app updated, my bad
[Huawei Watch 2] cornelha:
I finally bit the bullet after 2 years and decided to install a custom rom on my HW 2 LTE an hour ago. Already the difference is absolutely amazing. I have not even looked at fiddling with the kernel as everything is just so much smoother and more reponsive. Thank you for all this effort.
[Huawei Watch 2] jb3142:
I have used your previous ROM releases and all of them are great, thanks!

Just one question about this new release - will I get the benefit just by flashing the kernel, or do I need to flash everything?

Thank you again.
[Huawei Watch 2] cornelha:
As mentioned elsewhere in this post, ondemand governor uses battery a bit too aggressively. Changing to interactive I didn't notice any performance hits and battery life has improved.
[Huawei Watch 2] marrison:
something wrong with flash, everythings work fine but watch doesnt recognize simcard. I can see icon "missing sim", tried two different sim but no result, it's like sim slot is empty.

Link to stock rom in the first page is broken and I'm really going mad
[Huawei Watch 2] sethdallob:
I'm sorry for the obvious newb question. I have unlocked/rooted a phone years ago and I'm out of practice. I've never my done my watch, but the stock experience is so awful and laggy I'm going to flash this or throw it in the trash. Can someone point me to a newb-grade step by step on how to unlock the bootloader and prep the watch to load this ROM?
[Huawei Watch 2] NixNick89:
I've got one question. Magisk Manager doesn't work on my Huawei Watch 2. It's closing instantly and I cannot use root. Can someone help me to get this fixed ? Thx
[Huawei Watch 2] flocke000:
There is a pretty straightforward set of instructions on how to unlock the watch and boot to TWRP in the TWRP thread. But do NOT flash TWRP (the last step that is marked "(optional)") that broke booting for me.
[Huawei Watch 2] superandroidnoob:
Hello, I tried this method on my Huawei Watch 2 4g and now I get "device can't be checked for corruption" and I can only get into the fastboot menu. The bootloader is sawshark v6.6. Is there a way I can correct this mistake and get my watch working again? Thank you.

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

My mistake, I am able to use fastboot commands from PC but I am unsure of what to do next to ensure I don't get the 'device can't be checked for corruption' error and not actually being able to use the watch.
[Huawei Watch 2] jimnastics:
The corruption check warning always comes up, that's fine, it should continue to boot after a short while. I take it you've left it to see if it does?
[Huawei Watch 2] jimnastics:
Just successfully installed this on my Watch 2 4G / LTE, runs like a dream, absolutely great work!

Also used Magisk to add my carrier's APN details (WearOS does not allow you to do this or accept settings sent from carrier), so I now finally have 4G data along with voice calls and SMS. If anyone else needs to do this, complete the process of flashing the ROM, Busybox and Magisk in this thread, and then follow this (jump straight to "Add the APN via the ADB shell"):

https://michaeltroger.github.io/blog/2017/08/12/add-apn-in-android-wear-2
[Huawei Watch 2] superandroidnoob:
I figured it out. I realized I have to use the TWRP recovery file he links to in order to boot into TWRP. In TWRP I was able to sideload over the rom, busybox and magisk and install in that order. I rebooted and it works now.

Hi all,

I have the BT (sawfish) version of the Smartwatch; I want to try this rom, but I would to have a copy of stock ROM (from reverting in case of problem). I can't find it and the link on OP doesn't work; can anyone provide me updated links? Thank you.

Thank you! I've done a backup with TWRPwith no problem! Trying the new rom and kernel, for the moment it's amazing! Very smooth and fast!

:D
[Huawei Watch 2] sethdallob:
It took me a few tries to figure out what to do once I got TWRP working, but I finally got it. This ROM is amazing - everything you want and none of the ****. No more 7 second gaps between pushing a button and something happening. A lot less bloatware. A much faster watch....and the phone actually works for the first time in years.

Now, if we could just go back to Android Wear 1 where a message you spoke would automatically send if you didn't cancel it, I'd be in paradise.
[Huawei Watch 2] Krwp02:
Would you give me some pointers dude :), I have got downloaded all that is needed but don't exactly know what's next, adb debugging done and... That's it :)
[Huawei Watch 2] Nchls:
Which governor is the best for battery without sacrificing much of the performance
[Huawei Watch 2] sethdallob:
Sorry for the slow reply.

Plug your watch into a USB port.

On the watch, turn ADB Debugging on, then tap the option that says something like "always allow."

Open up a command prompt.

Follow the instructions from https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/watch-2/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-1-0-0-touch-t3631364. There isn't really a need to back up your system, etc., so I stopped before that line. Your watch will now have TWRP, which will have several obvious buttons "reboot, install, etc. etc."

Now, you have fulfilled all of the requirements laid out at the beginning of this thread, and can follow the directions here. Note that once you enable USB debugging (again) on your watch, it will appear as a drive on your computer. So, you can unzip the ROM, Busybox, and Magisk ZIP's on your computer, then copy the folders to your watch, and then install them on your watch from TWRP in the order the instructions say.

It's really not that tough - you just have to read the instructions carefully and have everything organized, just like you are cooking a recipe.

I'll note that I'm not getting the epic battery life others report. I'm getting 12-14 hours using it a bit, but quite frankly I don't care because it's usable again.
[Huawei Watch 2] Krwp02:
:confused:

Thanks :), I'll give it a shot tomorrow as for battery stock goes 30% morning until late evening, I am not poking around much though.
[Huawei Watch 2] Krwp02:
I don't see "always allow" option after adb debugging on. Adb devices don't see any devices :(. Any thoughts?
[Huawei Watch 2] therock11:
I tried wiping and installing the latest version over one I was using from Feb 19 and when I reboot it just loops me back to TWRP. I did a full wipe, installed rom, installed busybox and then magisk but it just reboots back to TWRP.

If u lock the bootloader without flashing the stock images then it will go into bootloop.

WiFi with Captive Portal

Love this ROM. No complaints at all!

I just wondered whether anything can be done to get WiFi to connect to a captive portal like we used to be able to do on Android Wear 1.4 using Wear Internet Browser?

Has anyone managed to crack this annoying problem since Wear OS 2?

Any help much appreciated. TIA
[Huawei Watch 2] Krwp02:
So 8 manage to find out that always allow should appear at the screen of the computer after adb debugging is turned on but I don't have it, adb devices does not show any devices in the command prompt. Anyone?
[Huawei Watch 2] mustang011:
Hello,

can anyone write a patch for this firmware that fixes the operation of the smartwatch as a data colector in xdrip?

-> github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/wiki/Patching-Android-Wear-devices-for-use-with-the-G5

The author of Xdrip wrote patches that work on original stock roms OWDE.180215.017.

Unfortunately, he did not update the patches for the new firmware.

On the old firmware, the battery life is half as short.
[Huawei Watch 2] jimnastics:
Absolutely loving this ROM after a month or so of use, so slick. My only issue is battery drain, I don't think it's caused by this ROM but I'd appreciate any thoughts.

I use my watch 100% in 4G mode, I do not use bluetooth or wifi. I use this watch so I can leave my phone at home when I'm out for the day, it is still connected and sync'd to my phone through the WearOS app so that I get all notifications. I think the 4G must just drain battery so much quicker than when connected with bluetooth or wifi. On Sunday it was fully charged when I put it on at 8am, went out for the day and it was down to 15% by 3pm :/ No calls received or made, all I had were a few whatsapp and email notifications come through.

[MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] are there any settings in this ROM which might cause big battery drain when using just 4G? Or anything I could try?
[Huawei Watch 2] Krwp02:
I would say 4g turned on all the time will drain your battery no matter what

Hi, i've tried to flash this rom, but obviously I've made a mistake. My watch won't boot now, when i try to boot it goes directly in the recovery. I think my fault was that i tried to flash the rom over adb sideload. nvm. Now I can't help myself and I need help from somebody who knows what I can do to fix my problem? Sorry for my bad english.

bootloader unlocked: yes

bootloader version: 8.6

twrp version: TWRP 3.1.1-0-[29-3-18]

I have a weired issure, when i was on stock rom, i used to apply this adb command: (adb shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot") in order to remove previously paired devices and paire my watch to a new phone.

but now im on this rom and when i use this command, it say success and the watch reboots but the devices are still there in the bluetooth list.

i was able to paire the watch to my new phone by making the bluetooth visible but the problem is that while I get notifications and stuff, the watch still shows the cloud icon and says disconnected and also doesnt have internet through bluetooth....
