Thanks for the update!! First impression of the original 4 cores kernel was very battery consuming will try the new kernel.

[ROM][AW 2.0]Ext4All for G Watch R by Skin1980
- Thread starter Skin1980
- Start date
Installing this now.
You already deserve a gigantic thumbs up for having a clock on the boot screen!
EDIT: Question, is it normal that if you didn't reset your phone that all your settings, screens and apps remained? (Verifying to know if the flash actually worked)
With new kernel and likely rom, watch boots 100x faster too!

Just verified (i don't use root on my Watch) with su command in adb shell and answer is : "su not found"...
I didn't flash the kernel with a clean install but the next day I clean installed this ROM.

Clock on boot screen is AW2.0 feature, not only this ROM.
Seems anormal to me that you keep all your stuff since the script erase your partitions and recreate new ones before installation...
Were you already on AW 2.0 before flashing this ROM ?
Yes, I got the OTA update.
Then tested the two 2-core/4-core kernels that are on the forum now, then thought, hrm, got this thing since day one, so it's likely past warranty by now, so lets go full ham.
Dunno if there is a way to verify if the updated rom is used, I checked the about section in the settings, but nothing caught my eye there.
If the rom redoes system and cash, the way Android works, it could be that all user partitions remain the same and it drops in transparantly.
Just don't know for sure it flashed (although it said it worked in TWRP), Kernel is obviously working, watch boots much much faster then before.
Also, for the clock, with stock rom it did not show that clock, so even if it's a 2.0 feature, LG opted to not enable it by default, OP did.

Yes, as you said, we can't know ii we're running this Ext4 ROM.
But if TWRP said all was fine...
About the clock on boot screen, i had it already with stock 2.0.
OP will surely enlighten us.

Installation script doesn't factory reset and destroy and create only system and cache so userdata are untouched.
Maybe something in kernel doesn't work properly if su doesn't work. Will investigate tomorrow.

Thanks!
I'm still amazed LG, like with the Nexus 5, is doing such long upkeep on a device like this.
I can't say I know of any other Android brand that does such long upkeep and updates for their devices.
Granted, it's not like there's a lot of LG Watches yet (and especially not many with very different hardware), but still.
EDIT: I just checked the other question about root.
I also get su: not found, when I adb shell into the watch.

I've managed to figure out how to boot a modified kernel from another thread, is the process the same for this? Or do I need TWRP?

Tested new kernel for about a half day now, already noticed that the battery life is much better. For the SU I can't tell had already rooted using systemless root by flashing supersu 2.78 SR1. Root is working for me. (Using advanced settings on the watch)
Rom is much more smoother than original and batterylife is acceptable. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks again for this great rom and kernel!

Hey, how Does it handle cores in ambient mode?
It's generally very good, but with apps like sleep as android it has very high consumption compared to Stock or wear 1.5.
I see up to 10%/h when sleep tracking.

I suspect for an app like that it would be best to setup some sort of specific profile that makes it play nice. SLA's CPU consumption gets better and worse from release to release too, so the current version may just be a tad on the bad side.
I switched to using SLA only with a heartrate monitor and my phone docked and charging, because some nights SLA would use 10% all night, others it would drain my watch completely.
Flashed with sideload from twrp.
Despite ADB say error during sideload, the rom is flashed.
I did, before the flash, a full wipe of all the partition.
There is any method to know if I flashed correct the rom?

If you only want to boot one time, it's the same command in fastboot mode :
fastboot boot file_name.img

If you wiped the system partition and booted well after the flash, you're on this Ext4 ROM for sure.
@stefal639
this is my way:
1. flash twrp in fastboot > fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-lenok.img
2. flash boot in fastboot > fastboot flash boot Ext4All_lenok_kernel_1.0.img
3. boot twrp
4. format all in twrp > erase > advanced
5. push rom to sdcard > adb push EXT4ALL_LGWATCH_R_1.0.zip /sdcard
6. install zip via twrp
7. boot system
this is my way:
1. flash twrp in fastboot > fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-lenok.img
2. flash boot in fastboot > fastboot flash boot Ext4All_lenok_kernel_1.0.img
3. boot twrp
4. format all in twrp > erase > advanced
5. push rom to sdcard > adb push EXT4ALL_LGWATCH_R_1.0.zip /sdcard
6. install zip via twrp
7. boot system
I use sideload and the process, despite end with error, flash correctly the rom.
I noticed that the Rom is the new one because the vibration for notifies and "ok Google" is stronger than the original one.
From my ubderstanding your kernel Update will be overwritten by the Stock kernel from the rom package. And if you deleted all memory you also delete the kernel you just flashed.
I flashed twrp via fast boot, installed rom from twrp and after first boot updated kernel from fastboot again.
1.oem unlock
2.flash twrp from fastboot
(2.1 maybe do a full wipe)
3.flash Rom from fastboot or twrp
4.flash kernel (directly or after first boot)

How do you get the rom and kernel onto the watch to flash with TWRP? Or just flash them via fastboot after flashing TWRP?

I Flash the kernel via fastboot, the Kerbel is on my PC in the same folder. "fastboot Flash Boot file.img"
Where file.img is your kernel file
The file can be transfered via " adb push Filename.zip /sdcard". Also file in same folder as adb or you use relative / absolute path
