NEW RELEASE:

Hello everybody,
Here is the new release. This version needs a clean install so it will AUTOMATICALLY WIPE YOUR DATA. Just flash with netOdin / Odin as usual. I also updated the first post.

Changelog (22/06/2022):

• Charging indicator issue is fixed. (No need to restart watch anymore for disappearing indicator)
• Audio level is increased to default.
• Some audio fix (mixer_paths.xml).
• Raise arm to wake device is working now. (Tilt sensor, decreases battery life).
• Always on display with palm to suspend is fixed.
• Serial number issue is solved. (1234567 to device's own serial number. Affects bluetooth name too)
• Partial fix for offline charging. (Still boots to system)
• Some fixes for sensor service. It seems it doesn't crash anymore. Also logcat is showing context sensor debug data now. It is easy to track values and extract step counter data.
• WearOS application on phone now has Gear S3 image (before, it was Ticwatch Pro 3)

Hello,
After first setup, your watch will update some of system apps for example Google Play Store. This notification is for that. You can continue without charging or put your watch to charger. Because of this updates, until installation finishes, your battery will drain faster and your watch will be slower. After finishing background updates and background optimizations, your battery and performance will be better.

Thank you! I noticed that too. Now I am uploading a small update.

BATTERY PERCENTAGE FIX FOR 22/06/2022 UPDATE:

With latest update (22/06/2022), some people's battery percentage is stucked at the same level and is not updating until reboot. Here is the fix for that. No need to wipe data or do something special. This file contains kernel update only. Just flash directly with netOdin/Odin.

Hello! In the posts earlier, you wrote that after the Wear OS firmware, the wireless installation of the system via Odin stops working. Do I understand correctly that this means that if I want to return to Tizen, I will have to disassemble the watch and connect it to the PC via USB? Or am I wrong?

I installed the Kernel but it still didn't fix the battery. Am I supposed to flash it in AP slote in Net Odin?

You have to switch it to AP mode after you enter wireless download mode. Just try it multiple times and it should recognize the watch.

I hope that someday I will have it for my active2

Yes. Like you did for the main firmware. It worked fine for me.

Добрый день. Спасибо за вашу работу. Часы стали радовать. Не понятно что происходит с уведомлениями. Иногда на часах они не все отображаются, а иногда удалив уведомление оно появляется снова. Наверное из-за того, что иногда удалив уведомления на часах они не удаляются в телефоне.

 

[mX87m]

Yes. Like you did for the main firmware. It worked fine for me.

Thank you. All working fine now!

Why can a third-party dial read weather and other data, but it can't?

为什么第三方表盘可以读取天气等数据，

Update is great, thanks @parasetam0l for the work you put into this! One thing that seems not to work on my S3 is vibration on notification. Should I activate that somewhere?

I think thats normal for android wear.
With my last watch i used "feel the wear" app to add custom effects.
But seems its not compatible with this rom, so i could not try.
................

Thanks for that effort.
It runs really great. I can confirm sometimes notifications seem doubled.

Actually i just came to this thead because my ticwatch pro 3 was sent back because of hardware issues.
In direct comparison the performance seems even better than a "native" android wear watch.
For example i always had lags the first 1-2 seconds switching tiles.
Assistant feels at least 2 times faster and delay to start speaking is much shorter.

A few things i noticed:
-stepcounter shows random values sometimes. 23 steps yesterday, 123 today
-heartrate monitoring has no 24h mode. Is this to be expected?
-the incompatibility mentioned above

Thank you again. Hope stepcounter will be available soon, then this would be an actual replacement for me at least.

So I only created an account here to congratulate the dev for this amazing update. I've always wanted to be able to use my old S3 Frontier with WearOS and this works really well!

Only few issues I've seen is on the Watchface selector page, some of the watchfaces only show a gray circle (no preview of the watch).

I also made the mistake of upgrading the clock app from Play Store on the watch and complications stopped working on all watchfaces.

Other than that, this is such a GREAT hack! thanks again!!!

after a while the dial ceases to be displayed, changing it does not change anything. Reboot helps.
