[RECOVERY][F2FS][sturgeon] Unofficial TWRP 3.0.2-0 touch recovery [2016-06-08]

[r3pwn]

Unofficial F2FS-compatible TWRP for the Huawei Watch
Please note that to use this, your bootloader MUST be unlocked.
You can download the modified recovery image from here.
To flash this recovery, make sure that your watch is plugged into your PC, in fastboot mode, with all of the proper drivers installed (if applicable), then run the following command.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-f2fs-3.0.2-sturgeon.img

Now you should be able to reboot to TWRP recovery and use it like you would on a phone!

Wow nice. Flashing asap

Awesome. Been waiting for the 3.0.2 update. Thanks so much.

What are the benefits of f2fs on such a small device? The difference was noticeable on my Nexus 5 way back when... guess I should just try it out and see!

From what I've noticed, any lag that was there before is now gone completely, and eveything seems at least slightly smoother.

My phone gave repeated notifications that watch has disconnected, so I thought I would unpair and pair it. Watch decided to factory reset at Android side, which caused a TWRP boot loop. Ideas, other than flash_all in bootloader? Maybe there is a should-reset flag or similar indicator that Android sets that the recovery should unset?

So when I boot, watch goes to TWRP. No matter what partitions I wipe (excluding system), it will not boot to Android.

I had a same issue. I reflashed the rom

I flashed stock recovery, then rebooted watch and everything is ok. Flashed this TWRP back afterwards.

I don't fully understand the steps to take, but I want to try this because it looks really good.

do I have this right?

1 flash this twrp
2 wipe all partitions and internal storage
3 use this twrp to change all partitions to f2fs, or just data?
4 flash-all.bat the stock images provided by Google

could I flash skin1980's MM kernel afterwards?

thank you

This is TWRP recovery, not a ROM. Not sure where to point you as I don't know if watches are exactly the same across countries. There might be a good chance they are all similar, if so u can ask around in the general forums. There's also a developer preview of N with a return to MM link. But you should search around some more b4 doing anything.

Thanks for the recovery! It's all running great and I had no issues installing it. My only issue is I can't figure out how to enable the f2fs file system. I looked at your pictures you posted but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm on the sturgeon-nvd83h-wear-2.0-preview-2 Build with the Negalite HW+ Kernel

Nvm, I just found your guide in another thread http://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/o...awei-watch-t3394967/post67266669#post67266669
Going to go and try this now. Thanks again.

Hi, could I request an option to set (increase) the font size? Or can I edit a file in TWRP on my own? Thanks!

Edit, I found /twres/ui.xml but changing these numbers doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?

In particular, I'd like to adjust the font for the file list when selecting a zip to install.
