[ROM+KERNEL+TWRP][Ticwatch Pro(Catfish)(Catshark-4G)]+[Ticwatch C2(Skipjack)[9Aug20]

[NumlockHolmesBR]

I'm having an issue, the rom worked great, I'm using it since the release of 30/08, but once the watch didn't want to charge when turned on, it charged up to 35~40% and stuck there, even after an overnight charge, so I drained the battery and charged it off, it worked, today I had the exact same issue but after draining the battery and putting it to charge it kept rebooting with the charge icon on screen and now it doesn’t even react to been put on the charger, anyone know a fix?

Hello all,
I have strange issue with my Ticwatch Pro regular on last janjan ROM.
After factory reset (over watch system) not over some special reset over buttons combination or TWRP...

Magisk manager not working and my battery is really strange... Normally dropped down maybe on 25% and after this drop on zero in few minutes and shutting down

It's not huge problem for me but it's strange :laugh:

Anyone with same issues?

Maybe new ROM flash is only way for proper functionality

There have been many cases of bad charger/cable/dirty contacts. Try cleaning the contacts on both the watch and charger. Make sure the charger contacts springs hold strong. You can use a rubber band to hold it together if you suspect contact issues.

There have also been short charge issues that I have been trying to track down. Mine stops around 80%. I found that if I place it on charge, wait for the animation, unplug the usb at the wall then plug back in, I get much better success.

Lastly, I did the latest WearOS update on Tuesday and have had super fast discharge or possibly false readings where it registers full but the icon does not update and I have actually much lower charge. I put it on Essential mode earlier and cant get a screenshot now. It had dropped from over 80% to 39% in minutes after regular use for over 6 hours. I will try to gat a pic of it next time.

I have lost all audio on my watch. It appears like the OS thinks there's no speaker on the device.

I have tried different versions of this ROM but they all act like there's no speaker. Google Music says "this device doesn't have a speaker" and nothing plays audio.

Any idea?

Can you sell this watch by just leaving the janajan rom on it? It runs better than stock. If you get a firmware update from ticwatch. Will if flash over this rom?

If the next owner gets a update notification, the ota can not be applied.

Tic sleep uses more battery when enabled, and if you followed through with it's request, then tic pulse is running 24hrs too.

STEPS
###################
- Download the LATEST ROM, LATEST vendor, latest Magisk and busybox (DOWNLOAD THE ONE WHICH CORRESPOND TO YOUR DEVICE- (Everything are include in the MEGA folder)

- Now boot your watch into fastboot/bootloader mode either manually or by applying the following code.

- adb devices
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot devices [ENSURE FASTBOOT IS WORKING]

- Now extract the (vendor-image.zip) folder and go into the root of the folder
- Now execute/run either 1-flash-Linux.sh (If u r a linux user) or 2-flash-Windows.bat (If u r a windows user)
(This will flash the new vendor image to your watch and format your user data with caches. It is very important steps in order to remove/reduce the mismatch between the ROM and Vendor image)
After running the about script your watch boots into twrp just after flashing the new vendor image.

(You can aslo flash the new vendor image and format the userdata+cache manually)
boot into bootloader and apply the following

- adb devices
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
- fastboot format userdata
- fastboot format cache
- fastboot boot NAME-OF-THE-TWRP.img

- Wipe factory reset / Advanced Wipe then mark Dalvik /ART cache, system, cache and Data then swipe the Wipe
- Now move the ROM to your watch and flash it the ROM
- Flash busybox and finally Magisk (IMPORTANT flash ROM, then Busybox and Magisk in this order)
- Then reboot your watch, IF a Prompt come up and asking about installing twrp bla.bla then un-mark both lines/ then click on DO Not Install
- Let your device boot up---Wait about 3-5 min
- Now connect your watch to your phone and finish the initial setting (Be patient)

(Your Watch will be laggy or too slow during this setup. Don't worry, it is due to less RAM

- Now enable developer options from Settings and then enable ADB debugging
- Open Magisk Manager and go to settings and set Automatic Response to Grant
- To ensure everything is running without any issue..try to see the output via adb in the terminal

- adb shell 
- free -h
You will see something like this
catfish:/ $ free -h
		total        used        free      shared     buffers
Mem:             439M        432M        7.5M        764K        1.4M
-/+ buffers/cache:           430M        9.0M
Swap:            256M        112M        144M

install busybox

Hi JanJan, I know the ticwatch is rooted by default, I'm trying to adb push busybox into the watch and install busybox so that I can su and peek into the storage of the watch. This may not be relevant to this, but I'm just curious if you can let me know how do I get adb shell with root access? Thanks!
