Hi Guys!

!!!! This is the first smartwatch with an Android 6 !!!! (not wear)


Here you will find my CyanogenMod 13 (Android 6) Rom for the Hexxa Atenea (Mediatek MT6572 SoC), and clones.
Please be sure to read (and re-read) carefully, to avoid unnecessary questions.
This is an Unofficial Source Build, so it will NOT be supported by the CyanogenMod Team

THIS IS ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED USERS THAT KNOW HOW TO FLASH A MEDIATEK DEVICE USING FLASH TOOLS. I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTION REGARDING HOW TO FLASH, HOW TO INSTALL DRIVERS, OR ANYTHING NOT RELATED WITH INTERNAL ROM USAGE!!! I prefer spend my few spare time fixing things that answering things that are already answered in XDA or Google.

This rom is based in Hexxa Atenea official ROM, but with some modifications:
Data size is now 2.4Gb and sdcard is emulated inside data partition. Now you have +2Gb to install apps. But if you do wipe, the "sdcard" is deleted too, so be careful of what do you store there.
The Launcher is the ClockSkin (thanks @riktop) app modified with an app list, so it's a fully working skin manager with an app launcher.
Thanks also to @blerfont because it takes the clockskin app and convert it to a full launcher for round watches.

It also work without any issues on the clones (mt6572):
- No1 D5
- Other clones

CyanogenMod 13 Status:

Working:
- All
Not Working / Needs Improvements :
-Nothing I found.

Flash Instructions:
Backup, Backup, Backup ... Use MtkDroidTools for backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031)
Flash the image with Flashtools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031)
To enter flashtool mode, shutdown the device before put it in the base. Search Internet for more info.
To flash select Firmware Upgrade or your data partition will not change. If you finish and data has +- 630Mb, reflash using Firmware Upgrade.

Recovery instructions:
Use your stock flastool image to restore the smartwatch.

This rom doesn't have Google Apps. If you want to add them, search for Open Gapps and install pico version.

You can use power button:

1 short press = sleep
1 long press = power menu
2 short presses = back button
3 short presses = menu button
Hey Corvus - and others - Just a warning here.
My hardware button has broken after using it so much for these menu operations.
Luckily I have spare watches but for some this could be a real issue.
A way to go "back" is really really important here.....

Hi, watch helper work?? This firmware with notification bluetooth would be the best!
ps: in recovery not found sdcard partition.
Steve - use M2D - Pascal has developed it especially for these watches now.

It works really well. See here: http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/thread/182/apps-sender-bluetooth-manager-receiver

PS - SD card is now the data partition as he said in the OP.... So won't show in recovery

I'm thinking about some ways to add a soft back button or some kind of gesture that works system-wide. Will be in next version. Also seems that is some kind of problem with mic.
We are trying to add notifications to the launcher, but I don't know if it will be ready for next version.

I try to add M2D to the rom, and talked with the developer, but it launch at boot and is pretty intrusive, so I choose not to add it to the rom. Install it at hand. Also I can't add the notifications, because if some users don't use M2D what will happen with this swipe move?.

Try taking MBR, EBR1, system, recovery, boot and userdata files from my image and copy them to the stock flashtools image for k18. I haven't tested it, so I can't say that this will work. And more important, I don't know if this will brick your device, so do it at your own risk.

thanks. I tried it, didn't work. I can see the world logo for second on startup and then nothing ... its step-up because if I flash your full rom, I cant even see the world logo.

Could you please implement LMT or something like that instead of pressing the hardware button for back and menu? Of cause everyone can install it after they install the rom. But I think it will work better if it is integrated


P.S. have seen now on proboard you made it already some days ago
