HOWTO run ANDROID on X1

This thread puts all the necessary steps together for sucessfully run the Android-release from THIS thread on the X1. Since many seem to have problems with that this may become handy
So lets get started!
What you need:
- latest XPEROID-release, fatsal-xperoid-20100221.7z, get it here
- 7zip to extract it, get it here
- sd-card, using fat32-filesystem with 500MB free space
What you need to do with it:
1. Extract fatsal-xperoid-20100221.7z on your computer. This will give you the following files:
- calibration, wlan-firmware
- haret.exe, runs the linux-kernel and android
- initrd.gz, initial ramdisk, needed for linux to boot (phase one)
- modules-2.6.27-00888-g339bdfc-dirty.tar.gz, linux- and android-driver for wlan
- rootfs.img, contains files needed for linux to continue boot (phase two)
- STARTUP.TXT, contains the parameter for haret.exe and boot-options for linux-kernel
- system.sqsh, contains all android system files
- zImage, contains the linux-kernel
- conf/*.user.conf, configuration files for android
- AndroidApps/*.apk, applications for android, installed during boot
2. Delete all the *.apk-files from the AndroidApps-directory. They are not needed for running android. You should keep the directory, just delete all files in it.
3. Download some essential android apps here, you will get essential_apps.zip. Extract it and put the apk-files into the AndroidApps/ folder.
4. go to conf/ and delete eclair.user.conf, then rename eclair.user.conf~ to eclair.user.conf. That will disable the swapfile.
5. open startup.txt and remove the mem-option mem=102M. This was suggested by hotlein here. That will increase the memory from 102m to 182M and improve android speed alot.
6. Copy all files and directories to the root of your sd-card. Do not create any directory, just copy them to the blank sd-card.
7. Put the sd-card in your phone if not already done. On the X1 open the sd-card and run haret.exe. You will get alot text running across the screen. During the boot-process, one file is created.
- data.img (256M). This file contains all the files normaly stored on the android-phone. Your settings, Applications, media, etc. You can always delete this file to reset android. It will be recreated.
First boot takes a while to complete, so be patient. Finally you should get the android welcome screen. Follow the on-screen-instructions and you are done!
Changing some settings
- IMPORTANT: Disable GPS in settings -> location & security -> Use GPS satellites, because it will hang the device!
- Turn off locks screen when holding red call button. Spare parts -> End button behaviour -> Nothing. That will simplify the shutdown procedure. Credits go to Reversedhex: Post
Now let's stop android
1. Press and hold the end-call-key. The phone starts to vibrate like crazy, ignore that.
2. After a few seconds a menu pops up. Dont release the button yet, keep holding it! If you changed end button behaviour, you can release it now.
3. Press down on the digi-pad. You may press it three times to go to the shutdown-option.
4. Now you can release the end-call-key. If you do not hold it, you will end up in the android lock screen.
5. Select shutdown option and confirm. Then android shuts down.
If you try another kernel-image (that is replacing zImage), the system may lock up during shutdown. Then you have to soft-reset your phone. But you should always try to shut android down.
Now you can update the linux-kernel:
1. Download the kernel-image, get the latest here. That gives you zImage_kovsky_20100325.zip.
2. Extract zImage_kovsky_20100325.zip to get zImage. This is the linux kernel.
3. Copy zImage to the root of your sd-card. You should always back up your existing zImage so you can go back.
4. Download wlan-modules, as they must match the kernel-image, get them from here. That gives you wlan-modules_20100325.zip.
5. Extract wlan-modules_20100325.zip to get modules-2.6.27-01006-ga30aafa-dirty.tar.gz. This archive contains the wlan modules. Do not extract this. Simply put this on the root of your sd-card. On android startup this file will be extracted on the modules copied for you.
As suggestet by angusmcb (post), i used for the latest kernel the latest cross-compiler.
Latest kernel from xdadev-repos with backlight control and correct battery readout, get it here. The archive also contains matching wlan-modules.
Troubleshooting
Q. Android will not boot
A1. check if all needed files are present
A2. check if you have enough free space on card. Android creates two big files during first boot, so you will need at least 384M free space.
A3. you can try to delete data.img and swapfile to reset android. This helps if you messed up settings in android.
Q. Wlan wont start
A1. check if file calibration on sd-card-root
A2. check if file modules-*.tar.gz matches kernel-image
A3. you may try to enable wlan in windows mobile before running haret.exe
Q. How to stop android from using data connection
A. go to settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names and delete all apn-settings
Q. Android-screen is upside-down
A. Slide out keyboard -> android switches to landscape. Then slide keyboard in -> android switches to correct portrait.
Q. I have no ringtones
A1. Put the ringtones in the MEDIA\AUDIO\ringtones folder (post, post for folder structure)
A2. Take a look at this post. Some characters make the android media scanner crash.
Q. I can not enter pipe-symbol. Where to find keymaping
A1. Press function key, followed by shift key, followed by commer key (right hand side of space bar) (linuxtux post)
A2. For keymapping in general take a look here. That is the default android keymapping.
Q. I want live wallpapers
A. Here you go. But be prepared for performance loss.
Q. I can not send SMS
A. Check this post by jimipoh. It might help.

This thread is mainly about how to get android working. I am trying to speed android up by partitioning the sdcard as fatsal mentioned. If it works there will be a HOWTO for that, too.
Until then i will continue to work the linux-kernel for X1-android until it is done (or i loose my X1, too )

This is pretty consize. I hope it sums up all the main points of fatsal thread on android

With zImage_kovsky_20100313.zip system always lock up during shutdown

i have tried to run this android on X2. I run the haret. the BOOTING LINUX window fils the line al the way then there is no black and white running text like on X1. the start bar apeares on the bottom end of the screen. and nothing is responding.. i have waited more then 10 minutes but still nothing happens.

Unfortunately, due to certain hardware limitations of the X2, boot time of the X1 kernel on the X2 can take a little longer. About 1.2 seconds after the sun explodes and extinguishes all life on Earth 4 billion years in the future, is a good estimate.
Sorry
vdelf, will you be committing regularly to gitorious? Or do you have a scratch repo for messing around with?

i always get an error saying mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument
failed
failed to mount the sd card, cannot continue
/bin/sh: cant access tty; job control turned off
anybody has any idea? i am using sandisk mobile ultra 8gb mirco sdhc

i had the bin/sh error too , first time.
when simply retrying -> it booted up to the "exploding X".
however, that screen froze on me.
i seem to get more progress though than with the material from the original threads.
the material from this topic has gotten me further than ever before. as i speak i'm booting a fresh one with the new kernel (from the start). it's upside down, but i hope this one works 'out of the box'.
persistence is paramount, as time passes the chance on reaching satisfaction approaches 1. how this satisfaction is achieved is up to you; may it be through running XPEROID, purchasing an android phone or simply giving up.

I managed to get it back to the "exploding X" screen (using the first file, not the kernel update).
It seems to be stuck in the X screen though, it's looping (and stalling a little) for 20 minutes now. Last time I soft-resetted the phone after about 10 minutes of X-screen, and it mangled my sd card (meaning I had start from scratch). There is no text (or error message for that matter), so I don't know what is going on.
Is anyone familiar with this?
EDIT:
I paused my attempts for now. Same result over and over. I'm not able to find anything on this in the original thread (or possibly when I read every single post I might find something), search reveals nothing to me.

You have to use a version of haret that supports your phone. As X1 and X2 have not identical hardware (or do they?) someone has to code X2-support to haret. Until then it will not work.
In startup.txt there is this line
Code:
set mtype 2006
This is for kovsky X1. For X2 there has to be a different value, but dont ask me about that

It seems that your sd-card has no partition. If you use linux, you can check this very easy. On windows, you can try to reformat the card.
You can also try another card.

Woudnt it be possbile/smarter to put the android on your xperia's internal memory (when you have 300+mb free?) or woudnt there be any diffrence in speed?

can you install apps from the market
or do you have to manually do it (pasting the apk to the sd)
?

(25/3)Best and most stable rom ever[ext2][daily-use]

Simply it's the best rom combination to be the most stable rom i have ever used and now am using it daily with no problems :-
(you may find it difficult but i swear u will be very happy with the results just give it a try)
Download rom:-
http://www.multiupload.com/T589I4WUX9
__________________________________________
Installation ...
1- Create (ext2) partation on your card ...
like in this video....
http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=146
2- Copy contents from the rar file to SD card ...
3- Open folder npkinstall and run install.exe
4- After restart open haret.exe normaly ...
5- download better keyboard from attachements and put it in ur androidapps folder in sd card
__________________________________________
you must do this to make ur button work and to be able to restart it by one press
open terminal emulator then type the following :-(press enter when u write the letters in each line)
Code:
su
mkdir /data/opt
cp /sdcard/autostart.sh /data/opt
chmod 755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
Then install autostart.apk (found in the rom source folder)
When your buttons stop functioning, you have to run a script from GScript that reinstalls the modules so they work once more. Perform these steps:
Install GScript.apk
Open GScript Lite and press <menu> button, then <add script>
Press the <Load file> button.
The script you need is located autmatically and is called "XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script.sh"
Select it and then in the new screen press <Save>
You can now return to your homescreen and add a shortcut to the script so you can reset your buttons easily. To do this do the following:
Press <menu> and then <add> to add widgets.
Select <shortcut> from the list and then locate and select <GScript Lite>
Then select the "XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script" and you now have a shortcut on your homescreen to reset your buttons.

Keyboard not working
Hi
I formated the SD-Card, went trough the installation as described, but when it comes to add my Googleaccount I have no way to enter any data since there seams no Softkeyboard installed and also the Hardwarekeyboard does not work.
Any information, how I can proceed?
Regards

read first post!!!

It seems like you forgot to say that some keyboard application should be downloaded and placed on SD card before taping a script code that you have posted in Emulator, because at the time of first run there is no possibility to tape anything at all (HW keyboard doesn't work without running the script, but the script itself cannot be run without it) Anyway it is useless because there is no way to run Edit command within Gscript, because... HW keys don't work!
Please, correct your first post keeping in mind that HW keys don't work without some doing.
Anyway, it could be a really good thing, it runs so smooth!

so i should copy
Better KB.apk
Ginger KB.apk
Smart KB.apk
SwiftKey KB.apk
to the root of the sd card first before i run haret is that correct?

Here is the guide wich allows you to wake keyboard with 1 click instead of rebooting the device. Guide is for freshly installed android (so no just updating the kernel).
1. Move autostart.sh from the included Folder and place it to your SD card
2. Install android like normal.
Until step 8, keys won't work, except for camera and power button. If you screw up, press camera button to return to the home screen.
3. Launch "Terminal Emulator". Soft keyboard should pop up.
4. Type "su" (everything without quotes from now on). Press enter. Symbol on the left should change to #.
5. Type "mkdir /data/opt" and press Enter.
6. Type "mv /sdcard/autostart.sh /data/opt" and press Enter.
7. Type "chmod 777 /data/opt/autostart.sh" and press Enter.
8. Type "sh /data/opt/autostart.sh" and press Enter. Software keyboard should disappear now and keys should be working.
9.Install application "autostart.apk"
From here, your android is working. If you wish to add 1-click keypad fix, then continue reading ...
10. Install application "GScript Lite".
11. Open GScript Lite.
12. Press left softkey (menu) and select "Add Script".
13. Load (XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script.sh)
14. Press save.
15. Return to the homescreen
16. Hold your thumb to get "Add to home screen" menu.
17. Select Shortcuts --> GScript Lite --> Script that you just created.
And now, each time your keyboard or front keys stops working, simply press camera key and tap on that icon you've just created
P.S.: this is not my work, i have just adapted what users seandean and yaana created. All credits go to them.

ON screen soft keyboard not present?
I can notate that screen keyboard is not present/installed?
And for the keyboard you can connect the phone through adb shell navigate to /sdcard/ and do the next:
chmod 775 autostart.sh
sh autostart.sh
Then you can do the configuration above ;-)

Hi , everything sounds good.
I am going to install / try directly when i am free of work
Most steps are normal steps when installing Android on X1.
However i do not understand what is meant by:
"open terminal emulator then type the following". Could someone explain how to do this (open terminal emulator)?
Is this done when having booted in Android? And if yes, how can i do this
Many MANY thanks in advance.
Willp ost results when i have had the time to test tonight
EDIT: ok tried it....looks VERY smooth, however i cna not get terminal emulator to do naything..
The peeps above are right... no soft Keyboard is present.
Any easy solution to this? (asume i have to install a soft kb first i gues...think i will give that a try.

Well i got this version up and running .
I just installed a software tobo myself and then i went through all the steps required.
Have not yet had much time to check the possibilities and speed.
but first impressions are good
(before this one i had the honeycomb V2 Android running. this one "feels" better.
Wifi: still unstable (on/off at random, like in every build i installed)
Speed: looks VERY good
Battery: hard to say, going to see how long he will be up today.
Charging: Still have to connect in winmo in order to be able to load
Software: Market etc. running very good.
Going to test upcoming time and report in

I really followed the instructions as in the first post, I also made the ext2 partition, so I don't know

plz give it a 2nd try and tell me

Ok, installing again as we speak.. but thats only because it has dutch language support
(ok, ok, ánd because of full launcherpro version
ánd beautifull widgets (even while i dont use the widgets)
but it would be so much perfect if...
- keyboard would be installed on start (since no soft-keyboard is installed by default)
- kernel will be updated to last (Duckly's Kernel [3-9-2011]) (it also contains changelog = No Sleep Of Death)
- maby overclock to 650 Mhz (or is it already overclocked?
- betterterminal ssh would be fixed, or deleted, because both times i installed it didnt work..
(java.io.IOException: Unexpected http status code 404 Expected 200)
Jhonnie's own graphic request:
- auto-install startupcleaner would be banished,
it has a hideous icon in top! Juch! (and it can't uninstall it )
- bootanimation.zip will be changed to gingerbread's one
- why it got the fancy transitions between screens? fast, but may be to kinky.....
(can i disable the transitions in android install??)
Q's:
1.can some1 tell me how i do install drivers for ADB/debug usb?
2.does the android setup (first boot) always crash?
3.if you add autostart to AndroidApps, does it really autostart keyboard drivers,
or is this a one-time install android ever..?

[Q] solving keybord freeze on honeycomb froyo v3

I have to open a new thread here because I can't still post in the android section, by the way I've tried to follow the instruction found in this post for solve the keyboard freezing problem but I when I launch the script it says that he can't find the 2 files it have to launch, and opening the folder by the terminal or by my ubuntu I can't found the 2 files
/lib/modules/microp-ksc.ko
/lib/modules/microp-keypad.ko
anyone knows why?
a member wrote on the same post that he had the same problem, so he have deleted some files and have run the new kernel...how can I launch the device with another kernel?
thank you

Hi,
answer is easy (well, for those who looked behind the scenes), at boot, the system checks if the kernel-modules on the sdcard are different from the installed in /lib/modules ... and due to the fact that the kernel version is the same (just with the keypad drivers optional as modules), the unpacking of the tar.gz-archive is skipped.
You have two options now, use the 'Terminal Emulator' and do a:
su
rm /lib/modules/*
and reboot your phone, or copy the two modules from the tar.gz in ubuntu.
Ciao
Kurt

I have tried the first before opening this thread without any result, now I'm retrying

ehm...now the script runs...but I can't use the onscreen keyboard and everytime I enter an app the screen rotates...is it normal?
and if I press camera button it doesn't return to the home

Hm, rotating the screen is not normal ... just if he thinks you pulled out the 'real' keyboad.
I think, the camera button of Honeycomb froyo is prepared for camera usage ;-).

Hm, perhaps, best solution at the moment would be, to run the unload-load-script when the phone is waking up from sleep mode. So, when keypad is lost, the user can send to sleep with the power button an immediately switch it on again ... and additionally, the script can run when a call comes in ... don't know if these events can get picked up and the event-handlers can be changed, just thinking ...
Ciao

Exactly, future updates will be CWM flashable .zip's.
All, I just noticed that Google Chrome isn't showing in the market, but Maps is. I swear it was showing up when I was testing previously. Will have to investigate...

I dont know if it's me or because of the ROM. WIth the rooted ROM before AOSP, I was able to install Chrome with a APK downloaded from mobilism but sometimes the pages are fine then just rendered white , for all tabs.
Does anybody use SKYPE ? When I do video chat, my broadcast picture stretched vertically when I broadcast-only (no picture feed from the other side), the picture my friend saw is fine though.
Many thanks for your hard work.

That is the main thing that i hate about Lenovo's Factory ICS image, i still cant install Chrome or Evernote, or many of my NEEDED apps. I hope that you get this working soon. or at least a temp fix.

Just flashed the rooted aosp, the boot animation is a nice touch. The app compatibility issue seems fully resolved outside of Chrome, pointed out already, which is no biggie for me atleast. I still can sideload Chrome and runs perfectly. Also, so far the dictionary miss-spell issue doesnt seem to be a problem anymore. Maybe its just me but touch responsiveness seems a little better/quicker with this build. Just tried using the command 'k1recovery' to boot into recovery and it keeps giving me an error relating to permissions, saying it cant create /dev/block/mmcblk0p5. Seems like I just need to change the permissions of the /block folder but wasnt sure if I was just not doing something right.
Massive improvements from Lenovo's vanilla ICS still, thanx khanning!

Noticed some graphical glitches. Screen goes black if switching orientations on lockscreen and home screen.

@Khanning88 Can you provide a mirror please? Goo.im is down and shows "Internal server error".
Never mind. It's up again.

Yup the screen flashes when switching orientations, for a split second...

That's great. thanks for share.

Flashed this one and works wonderful.
Rebooting to recovery didn't work 1st, but then mounted filesystem as rw and tried the command and could get to recovery.
Got an error "Can't mount backup path" when trying to make a backup. Is it because I didn't have an external sd card.
If yes, is there a way to take a nandroid backup to internal memory?
BTW, thanks again for providing this ROM.

Thanks khanning88 for giving this fabulous AOSP ROM
Does this ROM support the Wifi+3G version?

I found some issues installing apps, including some games, Zinio magazine reader, google earth, etc, all saying incompatible with my device.

I experienced alot of freezes while restoring my backup with titanium backup.
I keep testing if it also occurs in normal use.

Installed AOSP-Rooted. So far, Chrome (already noted as issue in OP), and POGO Games showing up as Incompatible.
Other than that, and possible other apps being incompatible, looks great and installed as easy as can be.
Thanks Khanning!

we need an easy way to enter recovery. Rom Manager button doesn't work.
Reboot recovery from terminal emulator doesn't work either.
Could you implement the nice options when turning the unit off?

several more freezes. obviously not depending on any special app..

I'm not sure if 3G works since I have a Wifi version, but if someone with a 3G version could meet me in freenode IRC room #ideapad-k1 I would be happy to work on it. If you aren't familiar with IRC just go to this link and join the chat.

From a terminal app type:
Code:
su
k1recovery
Or from adb type:
Code:
adb shell k1recovery
Either method will reboot the device into recovery. I will work on adding the power menu options later.

I haven't experienced any "freezes" but when it happens to you could you please document what you were doing and take a logcat to help debug.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11930-learn-to-logcat-like-a-pro/

Here is a very simple way to reboot into khanning's CWM recovery.
1. Playstore --> Download/Install aShell app
2. Run App
3. Select Checkbox for "Root" (In Settings, you can set app to start Root as Default)
4. type "k1recovery" into textbox
5. press "start command" button.
Simple, no need to be in "true shell" mode. This app allows you to run shell commands without the terminal. Great for newbies, quicker for anyone.
Hope this helps!

Here is a quick fix for the hardware keys. Just flash the .zip file from recovery. Updated first post with more detailed booting into recovery instructions.

BACK TO WEAR 1.5 FROM 2.0(COMPLETE GUIDE) and ELIMINATE THE PERSISTENT UPDATE NOTIFIC

Hello everyone,
Some Italian guys asked me for this guide because they did not find anything complete and detailed. Thanks to the XDA members' publications I could put together the pieces and write it down. I apologize for my English but I'm not very good, especially for technical terms. I hope I can help someone.
BACK TO ANDROID WEAR 1.5 FROM 2.0(COMPLETE GUIDE)
1. Download the software ADB installer 1.4.3 from this link compatible with Windows 10: http://uploadboy.com/tsp1bpbe9gtj/1082/zip
From here you can download an older version 1.3 for Windows 7: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2. Open the .exe file already downloaded with administrator privileges and follow the installation procedure to install the drivers
3. Download the three image files of the build "M1D65H" (boot, recovery, system) that you find here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/fastboot-zip-factory-images-t3405311
4. Insert the files into the folder that created the ADB Installer that is normally the path "c:\adb"
5. Download tool "WinDroid Toolkit" from here (some antivirus swapping it for threat and eliminating it, in this case turn it off momentarily) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17244
6. Start with administrator privileges "WinDroid Toolkit"
7. Follow the instructions for installing the drivers required by the tool and select the model of the clock
8. Activate developer options on the clock: (Settings> System) by clicking "build number" repeatedly until unlocking the menu that will be among the main options
9. In the developer options menu, activate the "debug ADB"
10. Turn off the clock
11. With the clock off, hold down the physical key and in the meantime repeatedly tap your finger on the screen from minute 55 to 25 until the watch has entered the mode fastboot
12. Connect the clock to PC usb port via cable and charging base
13. Now "WinDroid Tool" should recognize the clock and below you will see that the "Offline" script becomes "Fatboot"
14. Click on "Unlock Bootloader" and proceed by accepting the various message from the tool
15. A confirmation message appears on the clock display, click on the right arrow and then on the central button to continue
Now the bootloader of the clock is unlocked and we can continue to install the three previously downloaded files. Close "Windroid Tool"
16. In the "adb" folder at the "c:\adb" path, click on a drop-down menu at any point in the chain and right-click and shift at the same time. Click on "Open command window here"
17. In the newly opened window, give the following commands one at a time and wait for each one to complete the operation:
1) fastboot -w
2) fastboot flash boot M1D65H_boot.img
3) fastboot flash recovery M1D65H_recovery.img
4) fastboot flash system M1D65H_system.img
Finally, to restart the clock, use the following command:
5) fastboot reboot
N.B. Before pairing the watch on the cellphone again remove the link, inside the Android wear app, clock and uninstall and reinstall the app.
Finished!
ELIMINATE THE PERSISTENT UPDATE NOTIFICATION
1. Download the .zip file containing the custom recovery and root to this address:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/qllnc7...+R+Utility.zip
2. Unzip the .zip file and insert the "twrp-3.0.0-0-lenok+squashfs.img" file into the "c:\adb" folder
3. In the Clock Developer Options menu, activate the "Debug ADB" (to enable them to follow the procedure above)
4. Connect the clock to the pc via the cable and charging base
5. Open "WinDroid Tool", go to the "Commands" tab and click on "push file". Select the file "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip", wait for the procedure to complete and disconnect the clock from the PC.
6. Turn off the clock
7. With the clock off, hold down the physical key and in the meantime crawl your finger repeatedly on the screen from minute 55 to minute 25 until the clock has entered fastboot mode
8. Connect the clock to the pc
9. In the "adb" folder at the "c: \ adb" path, click on a drop-down menu at any point in the chain and right-click and shift at the same time. Click on "Open command window here"
10. In the window just open, give the following command and wait for the completion:
-) fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-lenok+squashfs.img
11. From the clock using the arrows and the confirmation button down to start the "recovery mode"
12. Accept the warning message and after selecting the language click on "install" and select, with the touchscreen, the .zip file "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip", wait for the procedure to complete.
13. Restart the system and wait for the clock to turn on.
14. In the previously opened command window, give the following commands one at a time and wait for them to complete and complete:
1) adb shell
2) su
3) pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
4) pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService
Finished!

Many thanks riccardo423
I have managed to rollback my lg g watch r to android wear 1.5 AND suppress those pesky update notifications using your guide. I noticed your mediafire link to the custom recovery file is broken. There is an alternative download at http://www.mediafire.com/file/qllnc77jtdqxtdl/Lg+Watch+R+Utility.zip (posted by Dettofatto in a previous xda thread) which also contains the two additional required files.

Hello, thanks for inserting a working link. I've modified the text of the guide by entering your link. I'm glad to have helped you.
Riccardo423

For step 3 if I click the link it says the post does not exist. Anyway here's where I found the images if anyone needs it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/fastboot-zip-factory-images-t3405311
BTW: Thank you for the complete guide, step by step, i was able to go back to 1.5 and disable the persistent notification thank you very much!

Hi, thank you for inserting the working link. I'm glad to have helped you. Riccardo423

After downgrade from 2.0 to 1.5, I don't received Facebook messenger notifications on watch. Other notifications work fine (Gmail, sms etc). Anyone know what's going on?

Hi I have never had this problem I think I can depend on your Facebook app. Which version of Facebook and which cell phone?

Latest version of Facebook app from Google store. Phone - Samsung Galaxy S6 with Latest Marshmallow updates

You've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?
The app wear permissions are unlocked for notifications?

Android wear app reinstalled twice. Even made watch factory reset. On Phone in settings/apps, Android Wear app have permissions for everything possible

Thanks for this Riccardo ( or grazie, from a fellow italian )!
Can't believe I managed to do the entire procedure without making a mess of it, lol. Everything appears to be working again, I'm so happy! Really hated AW 2.0. Hope the notification does not come back, I'll keep an eye out for it in the coming days.

hello, can anyone answer me why these commands dont work
pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService
and why superSu crashes on watch

Thank you Riccardo423 for great manual, it works great for my watch. No AW2 anymore!

Noob question: why the "M1D65H" versión? Is the last with AW 1.5? The NXG47C version is for 2.0?

Yes, it's the last AW1.5 version. However, perhaps it was due to something I didn't made correctly during the downgrade but this M1D65H version had not a good battery performance on my watch (battery was drained in less than 40 hours).
It's why I have used the M1D64Y version which is perfect in terme of battery performance (>48 hours) and applications responsiveness.

Nothing specific, just installed the basic factory image + root . I have installed about 16 apps (including Watchmaker with a quite "sophisticated" watchface, wear messenger, WearMail, Wear Battery stats, Feel the Wear, Runtastic, ...) but mainly I have deactivated Google Fit which is a true battery killer app on both the Smartwatch and the Smartphone!.

mediafire link is dead (twrp) - please, reupload it!

Thanks so much for this, it worked perfectly! So great to have my watch back!
