Need sdb.exe from Tizen-SDK?
sdb.exe

What is this good for?

Disable camera sounds:
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
sdb shell mv /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder/ /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder_bak/
sdb shell mv /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds_bak
sdb shell mount -o remount,ro /

Custom ringtones:
sdb root on
sdb push your_ringtone.ogg /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/
reboot watch
Keep in mind free diskspace is 80MB for /opt/ don't fill it up!

thx!
are the terminal commands needed after the flash?
would this also be ok for the new E5 release?

No, commands are not needed. It's just to show the version and howto check if it worked.
This will not work if E5 is installed since you will flash the whole root filesystem.

I can build for E5 if needed. Did not upgrade my watch yet..

I appreciate your good work on this. Unfortunately I'm in the US and still stuck on ND8. As a suggestion, since you're going to build this for new ROMs as they come out, could you start adding the last three letters/numbers of the ROM to your tar files?

Thx, already included version build for the E5 .tar uploading right now. The sad part is that the only "useful" way to use the root access right now is to get rid of the camera sounds

But if you need root access to your ND8 I can upload.

If you have easy access to ND8, that would be great. Otherwise I can wait for the newer builds to hit. I'll be upgrading as soon as I can anyway.

Can this be used with NEO as well?

i guess not, due to different hardware. although: perhaps it would work, because the hardware is very similar except the cam. depends on the partition layout, and that could be the same...

this is the partition layout of the gear one (with tizen), i guess "our" layout will be very similar...

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 3 07:32 boot -> ../../mmcblk0p6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 3 07:32 bota0 -> ../../mmcblk0p1

thx again very much! worked flawlessly!

can you please provide the "sdb.exe" from the tizen-sdk as well?

Partition layout of Gear 2 is like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 4 00:27 boot -> ../../mmcblk0p5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 4 00:27 bota0 -> ../../mmcblk0p1

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 4 00:27 csc -> ../../mmcblk0p12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 4 00:27 fota -> ../../mmcblk0p10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 4 00:27 module -> ../../mmcblk0p9
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 4 01:13 param -> ../../mmcblk0p4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 4 00:27 ramdisk1 -> ../../mmcblk0p7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 4 00:27 ramdisk2 -> ../../mmcblk0p8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 4 00:27 recovery -> ../../mmcblk0p6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 4 00:27 rootfs -> ../../mmcblk0p15
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 4 00:27 system -> ../../mmcblk0p11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 4 00:27 system-data -> ../../mmcblk0p13
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 4 00:27 user -> ../../mmcblk0p14

It is different, but I have no idea how layout of gear neo looks like.

This is to make a change in ringtone sound?

Is possible.
push your ringtones to: /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/
When in .ogg only filename will be displayed. When in .mp3 it will show up like ring.mp3
I think a reboot is needed to find your new ringtones in the list.
But keep in mind free diskspace is 80MB for /opt/ don't fill it up!

dansafe · Jun 4, 2014

Super good work ! THX.

Compusmurf · Jun 4, 2014

Ok, im a noob at watch rooting. Is there a special version of odin for the watch or a special way to do this? Does it wipe everything? All I wish to do is wipe the camera sounds.

Safe to assume this won't work with the Neo? If it does awesome work. If not still awesome work lol.

no special odin needed! i used 3.07
to enter download mode: press and hold the watch-button, when the watch reboots quickly press the button a few times, select download, then flash.
it does no wipe.

important: first flash the official rom, then the according rootfs from the first post.

enable usb debugging in watch settings
afterwards you need the sdb.exe, open a command prompt where the exe is located and enter the following commands:

sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
sdb shell mv /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder/ /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder_bak/
sdb shell mv /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds_bak

it worked perfectly for me!

neo would need a specific rootfs, otherwise the procedure is the same!

Fantastic! Now I just need to find the rootfs lol. Someone will probably beat me to it.
