[Port] lenok2dory: Android Wear 2.0 on LG G Watch!

[Sam Nakamura]

Hello...
Probably this question has been asked at least 50 times, but how usable is this port? Right now I am running a 100% stock, still bootloader locked G watch with wear 1.5.
Especially the following facts interest me:
1. Is it significantly slower than wear 1.5?
2. Is it stable (random reboots, hangups etc.)
3. What's the battery life, especially when a multicore-modded kernel is installed

Hello, yeah this is the #1 reappearing question :laugh:
So here we go, slower is relative, it's doesnt feel slower to me but I personally use the this device primarily as watch, sure I have Facebook lite installed to get my notifications via watch, little messaging but that's it....
It's totally stable, never had one random reboot or something and battery is alright too, I use the 4 core enabled boot image with the magisk hotplugging module (mpdecicion) and get easily through a working day, usually 16 to 24 hours depending on my usage, to extend battery life use the "real 2 core boot image", it has hotplugging inbuilt and should save some juice but it's anyway best to check out yourself, you can just flash one after the other to see what suits you

I'm running the first 4core kernel and it seems to have memory leak. Gets sluggish after some days, restart helps.

Did you flash the recommended mpdecision magisk module too, otherwise there's no generic hotplug solution for the CPU cores from what I understand...

When you see users talk about newer versions, they are talking about the versions of the WearOS app on your phone. It's not the version of software on your watch, sadly.

You checked storage permissions?
I don't use GPM so I can't say much about it

Yes i did. What's sounds strange to me is the fact that play music on the watch supposed to have a menu by itself, and not only those two options i mentioned. Is there a way to sideload and install an apk?

 

[brostar2017]

For some reason my watch will not download from the playstore, it just says waiting for WiFi even though it has WiFi connected via the handset running at 44 Mbps. Please help.

Sure, just use adb, that's actually the only way...
Like "adb install name.apk" if however the app already exists you'll have to delete it or use "adb install -r name.apk" to update it without losing your settings... This way I installed kernel adiutor, Facebook lite, LSpeed, etc and keep them updated...

failed to install apk... seems like i won't be able to load music on my watch

What means failed and what did you do exactly?
What apk version, downloaded from where?

I never had a problem to adb install an app? There might be a specific apk for AW or you made a mistake?

What's the error output in terminal?

Nevermind. I figured out how to fix my issue: simply installing on the phone a (very) old version of Google play music and i'm finally able again to sync the music from phone to watch

hi i am having issues with my lg g watch android wear 2.0 that i havent had before, the newer rom file stopped working and was constantly on waiting for wifi so i did a restore to stock then went back up to the first new rom file for android wear which seemed to be working without issue until it updated android wear to wear os on the watch and now it wants google play services to update yet it wont it gets to 11.28 mb of 18.09 mb and fails every time and then states it cannot install the update. i have restored the firmware twice on the watch and same issue every time and cleared cache and memory of the apps on my handset which made it download a little more on the watch but then it failed again and again. any ideas how to fix this

Well, I run the latest build with latest WearOS app without such issues, I'd try to clean flash latest build, switching to older versions isn't recommended as you'll miss out certain fixes...

That never happened to me but I read about this bug and there was a simple solution to it but I can't remember, nor did I find it yet...

Anyone got a clue about it?

any help would be appreciated, the new build doesn't allow me to use LTE yet the older one does. ive tried the new build on this thread and the new build on the home button thread and both do the same, it work fine since the start of this project then i woke up the other day and this happened. the old build starts downloading but fails half way and allows me to use LTE the new build wont allow LTE at all and wont download at all even though wifi is at 44 mb.

You did basic troubleshooting?
Like rebooting the system, wiping app data (or cache) from Playstore / Play Services?
