Dual version is really more pleasant and snappier than stock. Especially between screens navigating into apps or in watch settings.

The quad seems even more fluid and fast, will see if it justify the more drain it will have.

Think the quad could be THE kernel when sources will be out and you could tune it finer (hot plug etc...).

Battery stats

Been rocking the quad kernel since Sunday evening. Man, what a difference!

After running Frankenlenok on 1.5, I'd almost forgot how horribly slow stock AW is on this watch. The weekend (accidentally updated on Saturday) was an absolute pain, with the watch almost going in the trash then and there because it was so damn slow. But now I'm a happy camper again! For those out there still contemplating, here's my battery stats from today. Light use (mostly checking notifications, no standalone apps used), wifi on, screen always on, brightness on 3, Watchmaker custom face.

And for comparison, here are the battery stats for my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) for the same time period. Even after putting it on the charger (Fast Charging) for a while when I got home from work, they now have the same estimated end of battery at a bit more than 22 hours after initial charge ending.

I can't really comment on how this compares to stock AW 2.0 battery stats, as it's so slow that it's practically unusable; no matter if it lasted three times as long, I still wouldn't keep it stock.

Thank you Dirtyhank for the great work!

Yesterday, with quad version, I finish my day with 50% left.
Booting the watch at 9AM (holiday time...) and putting it back on cradle at 1AM with 50% as said before.

Trying again dual version today to see if it's really more battery friendly. But from what I've seen at this time, it will not be that different (61% at the moment, booting the watch at 9AM like yesterday).

Think I'll flash the quad version of it's only about a few percents battery a day.

Always on and WiFi on.

Dual version gave me 5% per hour today from 0800-1500, not bad

Can someone please tell me how long this process should take? ADB just says "Downloading..." and never seems to finish (let it go all night, and then tried again and let it go 33 minutes). (My bootloader is unlocked, ADB seems to be able to execute other commands through my computer to the watch, but for the record I do have a 3rd party charger.)

Code:
fastboot boot bootdual.img

Thanks!

It only takes a few seconds.. You are booting to fastboot first right? (adb reboot bootloader)

Your fastboot drivers could need to be redone. ADB is is not fastboot.

Oh wow, that's good to know! Yeah doing the "adb reboot bootloader" first and it goes to bootloader. "Adb devices" pulls up with my serial/device while in fastboot so it seems to work as expected. Just not sure why the flashing isn't...

Looks like you edited your previous msg - where would I get fastboot drivers? Got my Android drivers from in the internet and Windows seems to accept them with no missing driver messages.

If i use fastboot boot quad boot.img command, and turn off my watch, when i turn on it, what boot use my watch? Boot or quadboot? Thank you!

If you use the boot command and you switch off or reboot the watch then it'll boot with stock kernel (1 core). If you try quad or dual for a few days and you're happy with one of them I suggest you flash it so it can "survive" reboots.

Testing out a single core version with CPU scaling 300-900mhz, ondemand. Works very well no real lag it is obviously slower than the 2 core version but gives acceptable performance. Just time to establish battery use, but should be quite good

    While the sources for AW2.0 are released I've modified the NXG47C boot.img to improve performance and hopefully fix the laggy UI. The changes from stock boot image are:
    • Up to 4 cores enabled (1 on stock)
    • 998 MHz max_frequency (787 MHz on stock)
    • ondemand governor (powersave on stock)
    I've uploaded two test versions, one with two cores enabled and one with four:
    For now I wouldn't flash them until more thorough testing can be done. Instead, boot directly from fastboot mode like this:
    Code:
    fastboot boot bootdual.img

    If you feel adventurous give them a try a let us know how they work for you and which version you like the most.

    EDIT: For the record, you need an unlocked bootloader to test these images.

    Introduction

    This is a kernel for LG Watch R built from stock sources (android-msm-lenok-3.10-marshmallow-mr1-wear-release branch) with some minor tuning and modifications for now. I'll probably add more features and optimizations but for the time being is pretty much stock on steroids.

    This kernel is for stock ROM MEC23G

    Disclaimer

    Although I try to test it and keep it as stable as possible some of the changes can be considered experimental stuff, so don't blame me if it acts weird or goes up in flames.


    Features
    • Multicore enabled
    • Bricked Hotplug (cores are plugged/unplugged based on load, when screen is off only 1 core is active. Read this post)
    • Power efficient workqueues
    • CPU Touch Boost
    • /dev/frandom support
    • Optimization flags
    • UBER Toolchain 4.9


    Installation instructions

    Download the boot image, reboot into bootloader and flash with fastboot:
    Code:
    fastboot flash boot boot.img

    Alternatively you can test drive it without flashing:
    Code:
    fastboot boot boot.img


    Download

    Latest version is v0.4.1

    Full and updated source code available on github.


    Donations

    I don't deserve that much credit for this kernel, I just try different combinations and make minor modifications to see which one appears to work better. However, I spend many hours working on this and doing extensive testing, if you feel like helping me out I'd appreciate some tiny donations to cover some minor expenses. Thank you!

    Hi there

    Sorry for not stopping by but I haven't had much time to spare lately and TBH, since there wasn't much interest in this kernel, I kinda put it aside for a while.

    If you guys think it's worth an update I'll try to find some time and give it a quick try :)
