[ROM]Android wear 6.0 to EXT4

[TheLoonyRebel]

So the only thing we can do is modify the core UI apks to our liking.

Yeah I'm not worried about RRO/Layers on my watch to be honest. Curious I'm assuming the 1.4 OTA zip file that has been posted in the general area can be used as a basis for building a ROM, right? I could experiment a little myself and learn how to do a basic few things to get a basic ROM out (ie: rooted, tutorial mode removed, etc).

Um that would be a waste of time to try and decompile that to use able data, I just backed up my system and used that as the source. Give me a few hours and I will extract the core Ui files and post them here for editing

Apks for all to enjoy at first post now. Getting rid of tutorial should be simple after all it is just an apk. System rooted 6.0.1 rom needs a bunch of patches to work so no thanks to that besides I will be including invisiblek's kernel which is already rooted once this project gets off the ground

So at this point... What are we the regular user waiting on in order to start testing a unofficial version of this highly anticipated rom?

When I will have time to theme the apps. If someone else is willing to do so it would be much faster, you just have to have some graphic editing(MS paint photoshop) knowledge to theme them

First target the Android wear apk that is the home menu just extract the files from the apk and edit the png inside to darker shade like dark grey and then send the new images in the format you took them out eg. /pics/home. Png in a zip or if you know how to clone a signature and repack an apk then do that

Sorry if this is a little old, but I created an ext4 img of system that has fonts symlinked to /sdcard/fonts. It fits on the system partition but does not boot. Any have an idea on what may be wrong?
EDIT: I am using invisibleks kernel that has the ext4 system mount in fstab.dory

You have to create your own new kernel invisiblek and I have no interest in making an ext4 system boot as we are able to do what we wish without ext4

Alright, but how can you modify a read only system? Every time I try to create or delete a file I get "error: read-only filesystem" or permission denied. I tried using unsquashfs to decompress system.img, deleted some of the files listed in the second post, then used mksquashfs to recompress it and also had boot issues. Have you found a way around this?

Ok what boot issues are you having? Is the kernel refusing to load the system similarily to ext4? Also make sure the system images are identical in size for consistency, when I was testing some things I would just force mount the squashfs image as drwx and then edit as I pleased, I don't quite remember what I did but I might check my linux vm for the info. Also do not delete the things marked as might cause breakage and keep the wifi garbage data in case it's required for boot. If you feel up to it just keep experimenting until you find something that works.

A better not serious question instead of formatting in ext4, formatting in f2fs?

We are no longer aiming to format in ext4, it is pointless as we can mod the system now without needing write access. If you wish to continue development for f2fs you are welcome to do so

M1D64S dropped the other day so I figured I'd give this another go. Success!
