It works fine for me. However I have travis82's TWRP 3.3.1-0.

I found a bug? If I press upper button for 2-3 secs watch reboots?

If I hold it longer than it will show power menu, wo it works as described :) At least partially :)

Is it bug or a... F E A T U R E (Apple like)?
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Sorry, I must be dumb, because still I don't understand what are you trying to achieve :confused: Do you want to boot to system or restore stock ROM or something else? Btw, please check PM

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Hmm, I use travis' s TWRP as well, but didn't flash it, just boot to it. I haven't noticed behavior like you described, by default long pressing upper button opens up Assistant for me. Maybe reflashing ROM? If you didn't set up everything yet ;)
[Huawei Watch 2] ch3mn3y:
I did and it's not a big deal. For me upper button by default opens the app list. Loooong press is power menu. But the not-so-long-press-but-longer-than-short-one reboots the watch. It's not reboot per se, voz watch doesn't turn off, it just shows first kernel's (?) than rom's bootlogo and starrts fresh. It's more like soft reboot?

Hmmm. You have different actions under button(s).... Is there a way to change them? And what about the homescreen swipe actions? Are they changable?

Soryy for this questions but till now I had Mi Bands (still have 4) and Amazfits, without the Wear OS (however second was with Android).
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
No problem, I bought my Huawei just week ago and this is my first Wear OS device too :D Although I have used full android watch before and I have some experience with rooting and customizing android devices. And as I found out, Wear Os is customizable to some extent too :)

I recalled that I installed Google app right after flashing the rom, maybe that is why I have different long press action... ? I'm not sure though. Since I love to customize my devices as much as possible, I did a thorough research on how to change buttons actions. I found three standard apps for Wear OS:

1) Wear Buttons Remapper (paid). Didn't try it personally, it can remap long press main button to launch an app or toggle theater mode (with root).

2) Button Launcher. More powerful and free app, it takes advantage of the combination of presses main and secondary button in order to launch any app.

3) Bubble Cloud Launcher. It is the whole launcher actually, with the possibility of remapping main button and customizing swipe actioms, and bunch of other things. But as a whole, it looks too complicated to me, so I gave up on it.

Unfortunately, all three apps give limited possibilities - just open an app or toggle theater mode. It's not been sufficient for me - I wanted to assign buttons custom actions like "back", "kill foreground app", etc. I've even tried to sideload several regular Android apps, but since their UIs don't fit for small screens, it was not possible to use them. Finally, I succeeded with flashing systemless Xposed Framework and Xposed Edge module. It's not perfect still and some actions obviously don't work, but it's usable. Additonally, it give me another advantage - I'm able to trigger edge gestures and pie controls. It's a great tool :laugh:

So you can consider one of those possibilities to customize buttons :)
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
If anybody is interested, I found a workaround to use custom actions without compromising Google Pay, but without customizing hardware buttons. Gesture Control app allows to use custom actions on screen edges. UI is usable on the watch. Maybe not the most convinient way to use custom actions, but possible ;)
[Huawei Watch 2] mrpn900:
Hi all. I had custom kernel installed and replaced the dead battery with a substitute one. After that I have no screen at all. Flashed stock FW but that does not help. May custom kernel have something to do with this or can screen simply have broken at the same time? Screen reacts to touch, I was able to ask assistant for time and weather. I could see screen from wear os screen capture just no screen display. Perhaps there should be warning not to try change battery without flashing stock FW first. I believe my HW2 is gone for good now? Any help appreciated
[Huawei Watch 2] francyesco:
Someone actually tested the GPay fix?

i still cannot add a card, on phone all seems OK, also magisk pass SafetyNet, but after trying to add a card from the watch (oviusly using the phone) but after inserting the CVV and going over it say that "your PHONE is not ready for contractless payment" ... someone know if this error message is the same when the "mod" is detected on the whatch?

tried to use magisk hide but no luck

i would try the SQL fix with https://github.com/stylemessiah/GPay-SQLite-Fix but still haven't found a way to install it on wear os as is impossible to add module from the Manager app on wear os
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
It is possible to install module from Magisk Manager if you install proper file manager too. Not all file managers are capable to do that, but I found at least one (with red folder icon, I don't remember the exact name). Also it may be possible to flash a module directly in TWRP (I flashed Viper4Android and Busybox this way).

In my case Magisk Hide works fine, but only when I reboot after enabling it. I checked Google Play Services, Google Pay and an app with "nfc" in the name (I don't know if it is necessary, just in case ;))
[Huawei Watch 2] steejo:
My watch still says "October 1st, 2018" for Security Patch, but the build number on about screen says "January 22nd, 2020". Is that normal, or did I do something wrong?
[Huawei Watch 2] andreipaval:
I performed the Google Pay fix like in the tutorial but it still gets auto-disabled, I still have to use PayEnabler to enable it when I want to use it.

Was the "fix" supposed to get rid of this auto-disabling in unsupported countries ?

Because otherwise Google Pay worked on my watch before and after the fix, I could add any supported card, just had to enable the app first.

So basically nothing has changed for me after applying the "fix", it works exactly the same.
[Huawei Watch 2] bravur:
I have this watch, and I like to use a medical app, Librelink on it. It is an android, medical app, that collects blood sugar data from a BT transmitter. Is there any chance, that it can work on this watch?
[Huawei Watch 2] mafri1:
no loudspeaker

hi guys,

i flashed all and it was working fine for me, except the lack of the loudspeaker. No calls could be made, because they heard me but i didn´t. Google Assistant responded without speech. Is someone having the same problem?
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Did you install Google app from Play Store?
[Huawei Watch 2] mafri1:
Hi, thank you for your quick reply, yes i did but it didn´t function.
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Hmm, it should. For me it's been working well after installing Google. Check your Text-to-Speech settings if the watch has your language data installed. Last resort would be factory reset... Anyway, loudspeaker functionality isn't broken on this rom surely
[Huawei Watch 2] ch3mn3y:
I just temived Google App, as it was draining battery fast - from 1,5-2 days to ~15 hours max. Both with AoD and 24/7 heartrate.
[Huawei Watch 2] francyesco:
After a fatory reset i have the Watch keep booting into TWRP recovery... any fast fix?
[Huawei Watch 2] ch3mn3y:
Reflash the soft?
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
I've heard about something like that so I've never actually flashed TWRP, just always boot to it from adb using "fastboot boot name-of-the-recovery.img" command from adb.

In case that reflashing the rom wouldn't help, you can always go back to stock using the directions given in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/9lnwu4/for_those_wanting_to_force_the_new_ui_on_the_hw2/
[Huawei Watch 2] francyesco:
thanks after "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (file gotten from reddit post) got it booting again

a little boring that we cannot have twrp flashed but only running on the fly
[Huawei Watch 2] mafri1:
Hi, after resetting it is functioning again, thanks for your help. The only boring thing is that i have a notification in the watch to disconnect and reset, although the watch is perfectly connected. I can´t erase the notification:(
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
I don't know if I understand you well, but did you disconnect the phone and the watch before doing factory reset? If not, I would recommend to do it in the Wear OS app first (this will force the watch to do a reset again), then clear the data of the app and unpair the watch in Bluetooth settings too. Only then do all the pairing procedure again and set up the watch
[Huawei Watch 2] mafri1:
OK, thanks it worked :good::good:
[Huawei Watch 2] darkado:
hey guys, anyone else had a problem where battery indicator gets stuck? after flashing it wouldn't charge past 48%
[Huawei Watch 2] PandaKiller:
Mine was 29%.

I let it discharge until I get just the low baterry special clock screen.

After this it recharged until full.
[Huawei Watch 2] ch3mn3y:
Can I faxtory reset while being on this firmware? Just want to be sure.

Duno what Google fuc*ed up in latest updates of Wear OS app, but after them I cannot connect my watch with the phone (tried two)... Morons...

Or, maybe, You kniw the other way to reconnect it? It is removed from Bluetooth pairings and the Wear app had its data cleared.
[Huawei Watch 2] claudiobar:
Hi there guys... Does anyone know if Google pay needs connection to either the internet or a phone?

I use the watch to go running without phone nor simcard, and I'd like to know whether I can pay the groceries on the way back (I found some info dealing with tokens and the notion that I should be able to, but when I tried it asked for a connection so I'm not certain)

Tx
[Huawei Watch 2] ch3mn3y:
You should be able to pay up to 4-5 times without any kind of connection to internet. Than internet is needed to get new offline tokens.
[Huawei Watch 2] claudiobar:
Thanks so much for your answer. I tried with the watch on its own, I'll try again next time with it while connected to the phone and see what happens :)
[Huawei Watch 2] zardes:
hi, can anyone post new link with busybox, because the link from first post doesn't work :/
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Actually you can use the module from the Magisk repository. It should be working fine
[Huawei Watch 2] zardes:
I tried to download or install from magisk app on my watch but whenever I press on download button or install nothing is happening.

UPDATE:

I managed to download and install it from magisk, I waited couple minutes and after that app was downloaded
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Glad to hear. You could also download it on your phone, copy to the watch and flash from twrp :)
[Huawei Watch 2] Redline:
Just wanted to say thanks to the OP. Following his instructions I got my bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, and this ROM installed minus root capability which I didn't want the watch to have. Installing apps and general use of the watch is significantly improved over stuck.

Much thanks!
[Huawei Watch 2] claudiobar:
Hi guys, is anyone here able to "talk" to the watch?

I don't know why but I'm unable to use Google Assistant or to use my voice as speech to text, even with a standalone 4g connection =(
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
BusyBox

Hi, when I try to download busybox, android file host gives

404 not found

Can't find it!

If you are seeing this error page then the file in question has been deleted from the site and servers. Please contact the developer/uploader for a new link to the file.

I would be most grateful if you could fix this. If you can’t, is it possible to flash the rom without busybox or magisk thanks! ?
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
You can flash this Rom without Magisk or busybox, but without Magisk you won't be able to use Google Pay. You can definitely use busybox module from Magisk repository. Download it from the web in your PC (https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/busybox-nd) or through the Magisk Manager on your phone. Then use adb on PC to boot into TWRP ("fastboot boot name-of-the-recovery.img") and flash there busybox module
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
stuck on twrp

Thank you for your confirmation that busybox and magisk arent needed.

however, when I flashed the rom [on my leo dlxx] it initially worked however after factory resetting it and trying to reinstall the rom, the watch keeps booting into twrp when i try to reboot system. :(:crying: I have tried multiple times to reinstall the rom to no avail :rolleyes:

However i can still use twrp alright

Please could anybody help me as it now really seems to be rendered quite useless.

If anyone could help me I would be most grateful :angel:

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] roboMr.Burns:
Just flash the stock recovery and let it boot once. The factory reset sets a flag somewhere so that it's looping to recovery but twrp can't reset that flag.
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Yes, do what [MENTION=1512378]roboMr.Burns said. If you need stock recovery file, you can find it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TwtOBmz-01a2EjLFdFnbGi8pqOGEeOCa/view

Just unpack rar file.

I supposed YOU actually FLASHED twrp recovery instead of BOOTING into it. For the reason stated above, it is wise to just boot into recovery whenever you need it instead of flashing it
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
Forgive me for asking, but where do I get stock recovery (I am quite new to custom roms)

Could someone provide a link ?

Also do I first flash the rom then flash recovery or in another order?

Thanks and regards :)

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Thank you. Just to confirm, should I advance wipe everything, install the rom and then flash the stock recovery you gave? Should I do anything to the twrp? Sorry for asking so many questions....:p

Thanks!
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
You're welcome.

Well. In the. rar package you'll find four (as far as I remember) files, which have to be flashed in fastboot mode - among others stock recovery. So first extract rar in PC and copy recovery.img file to the adb location (probably the folder named "platform-tools"). Then you must go into fastboot mode on your watch. You can use the following procedure:

1) Hold down the power button.*

2) The screen will go black for about 2 seconds and then boot into the Huwaei logo. Keep holding down the power button.

3) Wait for the first vibration, release the power button and then immediately give the power button one short press.

If you feel the second vibration, you waited to long to do the release and press. Start over.*

When in fastboot mode, first connect the watch to the PC with "fastboot devices" command. If the watch is found, flash the stock recovery: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". The stock recovery is now restored. Now I think you can boot into the stock recovery and reboot to system from there or, possibly, reboot to the system directly from the fastboot mode ("fastboot reboot"). [I've never used stock recovery so I'm not 100% sure about the last sentence, but you should handle it.]

Then replace in your PC stock recovery file with the twrp one. Next time when you need to use twrp, use the the command "fastboot boot name-of-the-twrp-recovery.img". In this way you'll avoid flashing twrp over the stock recovery and avoid troubles ;)

You can consult this thread if needed:

https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/watch-2/guide-return-huawei-watch-2-to-stock-t3955840

If you need further assistance, I can try to help in a few hours, because it is my sleep time now :D
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
Thank you so much so, to confirm, do I

Wipe everything

Install the rom

Then follow your instructions below

Also, this might sound a bit daft but how do I replace the stock recovery with the twrp one?

???
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
If you flashed the custom rom before, I don't think there is a need to wipe anything. Just follow the steps I described. But in case of something goes wrong, you may need to reflash in adb all stock files (see the link I pasted), but without relocking bootloader, then BOOT to twrp ("fastboot boot name-of-the-twrp-recovery.img"), wipe everything and then flash custom rom again.

The point is that you DON'T replace stock recovery with twrp. Stock recovery still resides physically on the watch. You just call twrp through adb whenever you need it. Of course the twrp image must be present in adb location when you want to use it
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
Thank you so much... I followed your steps and it worked! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
I'm glad I could help! :)

‘Talking’ to watch and GPS

Hello, I have now successfully installed the rom...:)

However, I can’t get GPS to work and also, as another user has said, ‘talking’ to doesn’t work, which causes google assistant to crash and the watch to say that it cannot make calls ???.

If anyone could help on this I would be most grateful

Thank you ?
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
[/COLOR]

I have no idea what could be messed up. GPS and phone calls are working fine for me on this rom. But Google Assisant on WearOS is known of making troubles, it doesnt work for me neither, fortunately I don't use it. I don't know if it works on stock rom though.

What you can do is to perform factory reset from TWRP and see if it resolves your issues after setting the system up again. Last resort would be to restor all stock files as I described earlier and then reflash custom rom again through TWRP
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
GPS now works after I updated google play services

However, the calls still don’t work: it says

‘Bluetooth phone

audio is unavailable.

Calling will not work’

(Despite my watch being 4g lte) (I definitely didn’t flash the wrong rom too)???

and simply crashes when I try to call. Also when I try to do text to speech, it says

‘audio input not Available’.

Thanks and Regards ???
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Did you try factory reset? I know it's pain in the ass to set everything up from the scratch, but sometimes it is the only way...

Also, if I'm not wrong, tts in order to work needs Google app, which is not installed by default on this rom. You can download it from Play Store.
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
Bluetooth calling problem solved

Ooooh TTS and google assistant now work after installing google ? I have also found out that Bluetooth calling doesn’t work because my watch is connected to an iOS device as it only works with androids.... I guess that I will just have to use a sim then.... :)

Anyway I just want to say thank you as you’ve been a great help
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Or time to buy a new phone ?

Nice to hear you found your answers. That Bluetooth message raised my doubts since I never encountered something like that ?

Just makes me wonder why my Google Assistant doesn't work then... ?? Anyway, have a nice use, this rom really improves the watch's performance :highfive:

Regards for [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
I can see that you prefer androids over iOS devices :p haha

Yes, it really does improve performence! I really like the global rom compared to the chinese rom, especially since it has google play services:D:D:D

have you installed google app on your watch as you told me to? As soon as I did install google, google asisstant worked like a charm!

Best wishes
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Yes, of course I installed :P That is why it makes me wonder ? But I don't even use Assistant on the phone, much less on the watch so no big loss ?
[Huawei Watch 2] footiefan123:
Just wondering, are there any apps on wear os that you would recommend?

Thanks ?
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
Well, depends on what kind of apps. I try to keep the watch as clean as possible in order to help him work fluently. Generally I use only one additional fitness app and two music apps. My favorite fitness app is MyRunningApp - it can work standalone without the phone connection, it has customizable fields and voice announcements. Easy to upload workouts to Google Fit and Strava. As for music, the best player for me is NavMusic - paid a little, but we'll worth it. Additionally I installed special Spotify version from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/wear-os/development/app-spotify-lite-scaled-standalone-wear-t3815680 Bit battery hungry but allows to download songs and play offline :)
[Huawei Watch 2] venomsky:
Hey. which version of firmware I need if I'm using Esim version ? Anyone?
[Huawei Watch 2] treff89:
This ROM is really excellent, thanks very much for all your efforts. Managed to get Xposed Framework and Magisk all installed and working, and have underclocked with Kernel Auduitor for battery life.

WhatsApp works as well (set the DPI to 180 to see more of the app).

No voltage settings it seems.

Unfortunately GravityBox doesn't quite work -- a shame, it would be nice to be able to customise the button presses (really need a button to force-close open app!!) and the quicksettings drop down (eg to toggle BT/WiFi easily rather than have to go all the way through the settings each time).

It would also be nice to be able to disable wakelocks and alarms, I can't get Amplify to work, has anyone managed a way of doing this?

Then the next step for me is a browser, I have read that Chrome works, shame there isn't anything more lightweight -- Naked Browser for example doesn't work.
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
If you managed to install Xposed, you can use Xposed Edge Pro module to customize the button and set it to kill foreground app. I did that before but I dropped the idea later since I concluded it's not really necessary for me. Finally I even removed Xposed altogether because it made the system much heavier in my case.

I think that many features of the modules like Xposed Edge and Gravity Box won't work because of the WearOS system limitations. I don't know if it possible at all to have quicksettings panel drawable...
[Huawei Watch 2] treff89:
Thanks for the tip. To be honest, Xposed isn't as useful on the watch as it usually is on a phone -- I will probably follow suit with you, and remove it.

Next step -- finding a way to reduce the minimum brightness that isn't just a screen overlay...

Update Wear OS and Security Patch

Hello,

i have got two Question:

Why is the Security Patch still mentioned Oktober 01.2018 fpr the January 2020 Update and how can i update this version to a newer wear os?

Thanks for the answer :).

Regards
[Huawei Watch 2] Lord Sithek:
I don't know the answer for the first question - the developer could probably answer that. As for the second question - in all probability you can't. The watch is so old it won't get an official update anymore, so we shouldn't expect custom rom neither.
[Huawei Watch 2] ch3mn3y:
Answer to the first question is simple. Rom's base is stock made by Huawei/Google. Latest stock for our watch had implemented security patch dated October 2018. As there is no way for Dev to compile this stock with newer patched and there is no custom ROMs like lineage OS for watches than there is no way to update it beyond what manufacturer have.
