CAUTION!! This ROM is mostly made for developers and people interested in developing for Samsung Gear Live. I take no responsabilities for possible damages to your device.
Hi everyone.
I open a new thread here in General because I have not enough posts for posting in Development, and I don't want to spam other threads only for posting there. Moderators can move this if they want.
We have here the first Custom ROM for Samsung Gear Live: OctamodWear
Currently we have very few new features, but this is only the beginning.
Features
- OctamodWear 0.2
- KMV78Y based
- Fully deodexed
- Root
- Busybox
- WearControl, the system management app. Reboot2Recovery is gone; install WearControl from PlayStore to ensure you always have the latest version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=octathorp.wearcontrol
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled
- OctamodWear 0.1
- KMV78X based
- Root
- Busybox
- Reboot2Recovery, it's an app made by me that let you reboot in recovery mode (interesting for use with custom recoveries).
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled (mainly, for developing purposes. I included them because it was a pain to install again with each data-wipe during tests).
Important
- Superuser permissions (root) are enabled by default, without Superuser or similar app. So, whatever app that you install and require root permissions will obtain them. That's due to the fact that there is no Superuser app for Android Wear yet.
- We need unlocked bootloader in order to be able to install the ROM (fastboot oem unlock).
- This system (Android Wear) is still very recent, and there are many things we don't know, despite its similarities with Android.
Work-in-progress...
- Get a better battery consumption.
- Improve performance
- Other things I have not thought about yet
Installation
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, follow this steps:
- Connect using ADB and run "adb reboot bootloader"
- In the bootloader screen, run "fastboot oem unlock". Warning!! This will wipe the device.
- Once you have unlocked the bootloader, the next step is to flash the provided system.img, using "fastboot flash system system_octamodWear.img"
- Done!

Original thread: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=868149
I will try to help you if you need it, but please, there are a lot of pages on the web where you can get information about ADB drivers or bootloader unlocking effects, so please, use Google.
Furthermore, I don't have much free time due to work and personal life, so this ROM will not have a very fast development. My main purpose is to give people something they can start working with, and make a great development community.
Enjoy it!
You sir are a genius!
I borked my phone installing TWRP and flashing this ROM was the only way I fix my watch! Thank you!

It is pre rooted as stated above. And yes its very good. Includes a file manager, which is handy....
Dev, presumably we should not install any OTA's?
This is the best day EVER!! Thank you so very much!!
Hey @octathorp I just received an update a couple days ago and did it... I assume the update would not be compatible with this ROM, or can I still install this ROM? Thanks!
Update is KMV78Y by the way.
Hi.
I have not received the update yet, so i don't really know. It should work well, because this is only system.img, but i'm gonna update the base rom as soon as I receive the update.
One thing i forgot to post some days ago... I've made an app that lets you reboot your device into recovery or bootloader, as well as changing CPU governors. It's Reboot2Recovery replacement, and it will be included in next release. Meanwhile, you can get the app from Play Store, searching "WearControl" (sorry i cannot post links yet).
I'll update the OP.

Return to Stock?
What would be the best way to return to stock? My guess would be to flash the system img that Adam Outler posted but want to make sure that I'm correct. I got excited and flashed this without backing up on TWRP first.
Hey is it possible to put the ROM in flashable form for TWRP?! Would make it much easier to install

That's a good idea I will try in next days, but only as a concept. If it works well, i will try to launch next update through a flashable update.zip

Awesome man! I know you said in OP that you are very busy and stuff, would be appreciated though if you got the flashable working, then I can flash stuff on the watch like I do on my phone, so easy.... instead of having to go thru ADB!
I've installed the rom but I don't see any of the included applications listed in the launcher I'm using them.
I can access them though using start tho. Anyone know how to get them into the launcher?

I use the Mini Launcher and all the icons appear that way....without going to start first!
I lost the update a few days ago, and oddly enough it popped up right away after I rebooted my watch when I installed this rom..I swiped left and it told me it was downloaded, and ready to install..I clicked ok..and it took me to TWRP and didnt install lol...anyway, all is running smooth...lets see how battery life it compared to stock

Battery life should be the same as stock, as there are no power optimizations yet, but you could try WearControl with powersave mode instead.

I've updated first post with new OctamodWear 0.2 version. Sorry it is not an update.zip yet, but i'm working on it
thank ya!!! The dowload is painfully slow ...around 2 hours?? The first time I got it,. the md5s didnt match
First thanks for the first custom rom for the Gear Life!
Does anybody have a mirror? Dev Host is really slow, 1 hour to download 146mB :silly:
Would be much appreciated :highfive:
I dont actually use any file sharing sites myself

There will be no further releases along these lines, I now need to concentrate on getting the script working and broadening my limited knowledge.

Good question, I had to use titanium to delete google search, then download the one from the play store (same version number) and then convert it to system app.
That one lg supplied file would not deodex no matter what I tried? the replacement was fine.
i tried to deodex 20q. but i cant deodex nearly 10 apks.
if you did it it is great!
only one apk and repleace from play store doesnt matter. i mean did you used any apk from other versions like 20o 20p etc.
good work man. thanx
what is the difference is latest libaudiopolicy.so?

Maybe you wanna convert all those ROMs into easy to flash .zip files. But a nice thread anyway. UAE version and some other regional ones would be nice. Maybe we should all work together, create all the local ones, post them here and you add them to the thread, so everyone can pick a rooted version, he/she wants to have.
I guess they are rooted or don't delete the root, right? (I don't think a nandroid would remove root, but are they rooted?)

Sounds like a plan, In the meantime I need to learn how to create zip files. I had no joy with rom kitchen. any other tools for that please?
I might help with flashable zip, but gimme a little bit time so I can test
In process of dl from my server (have to sign it locally), I'll test it ASAP
EDIT: Getting error when installing :/ Will try to fix it.
EDIT2: Now bricked, I guess I shouldn't have changed things on boot.img, will unbrick then retry without any modifications from my own nandroid.
EDIT3: I guess I just bricked my phone too much times for this night, will retry tomorrow.

One day with v20s, good room, very smooth, battery management is really good. The only thing is that calendar and note widget don't work
I think V20s is the best version for me.. I have used all the version and for me its most stable one...
And with the help of UOT Kitchen I modified some changes like battery, status bar, notification bar , font, boot animation.. And everything works like charm...
The first (very mildly) customized ROM for NVIDIA SHIELD... Tweaker.
For those who tried SHIELD on launch day (or early on before the OTA was applied), it had a dashboard with bigger graphics that were easier to read. Now, it's just icons. I don't like the icons. So a little bit of hacking together pieces (and adding SuperUser while I was at it) resulted in TweakerRom.
Don't expect much difference, at least not until I get CM-10.2 done for SHIELD. But this has a nicer interface, in my opinion, and is based on the latest OTA 1.1 release (with the SHIELD UI from the original image)
You need to install a SuperUser app (I highly recommend SuperSU) but you don't need to use recovery to do it.

Reserved for changelog and stuff
Reserved for Video! It WILL come.
This is great! Will flash this tonight once I can get CWRM to flash properly in fastboot...
Awesome! I'm glad to see the first step being made, but I'm going to hold out until 10.2. I'm getting lazy in my old-ish age.:silly:
Sorry BUT:

I just finished Unlocking and Flashing your recovery when the download finished (YES I unlocked it just for this ROM). I have to say: I LOVE the interface, I never got to see it but it is SO much better! Thanks for pioneering the development over here, there isn't much at all... I plan to do some theming stuff once I get around to it XD

The SHIELD is a bit of an unusual exception here - most of their OTAs seem to be full system images, instead of delta patches.
While this makes the OTAs much larger, it also makes them much more robust.

Stock messaging app definitely isn't there. Why bother removing it?
Edit: Yikes a lot of the UI hacks for xposed are likely going to need updating. 314 breaks the hidden apps slide out menu (not the fault of this rom developer, but I'm sure it could be important for some other users planing to upgrade from 402).

Thanks for the feedback. It was not removed. When I tested the rom, I noticed the missing stock messaging app and reported it to dev. However, when you look into the rom's system\priv-app, the conversation.apk is there so it had us both stumped as to why it is not getting flashed.
Hopefully, we'll get the fix from the dev soon.
Thanks again for reporting.

It seems to work great otherwise. I just rolled back to my backup of .402 because I got used to how my UI was setup using GEM and Xperia Xposed modules. Once they get updated (GEM in particular) I'm sure I'll be back.

I see your point and I myself use these modules. However, different people have different preferences. Therefore, some devs refrain from adding mods like Xposed in the rom as users can add themselves after flashing the rom. I know that @dipesh1502 has plans to provide add ons (themes, sound mods etc.) in Aroma in Themes and Apps section. So, I'm sure he can consider your request.
pretend that i already have Recovery (i'm in RomAur 4.0 latest, build .314) Do i need to flash DuoRecovery?

Yes, you have to flash recovery after every 314 rom flash otherwise you'll end up with no recovery and this is speaking from personal experience lol.

I will post it asap when i get the solution..apology for the inconvinience
If the apk is still in the folder, cant you just manually install the App?
BTW, IMHO Xposed should be preinstalled.
Oh, and it would be awesome to link Nut's thread in the op when you say "install recovery" it's a hassle to search the thread on the phone
Tried installing the app from system\priv-app folder but it wouldn't have it.
anyone got an extracted apk that works ?

I take no credit for this ROM. All credit goes to the developer @edgarf28 and his team and testers.
Keeps knox intact, Stable, and its fast!
Center clock, Battery mods, and color customizations galore!

Install for us AT&T users is very simple but funky at the same time. Just wipe and flash with flash-fire, like normal.
Then go through the aroma set up. The ROM doesn't officially support Flash-fire but I have seen a few others in the OP from our AT&T locked Boot-loaders who have flashed this just fine also.
The funky part of the install is aroma itself. It works but flashes and flickers a lot. You can read and make out all the selections, you just have to deal with the flashing. After the install is complete click the reboot option in Aroma and it will reboot. First boot as usual takes up to 5 minute but sometimes only a couple minutes.
After flashing the ROM, use the add on zip to get back any Samsung apps that you want to have installed. This ROM is super debloated so things like themes and all cast have to be added through the add on zip Along with either the Alliance framework, or 3minit framework. I am using the Alliance framework because I like the ability to fully customize the toggles and other things more than having a bunch of different battery's to choose from.
The mod add on ZIP
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347761090
Also works, but If you click the reboot option after the install it will freeze up and not restart. I dont know why it does that but just click the reboot option off and restart it yourself.
When using the alliance framework and changing the drop down toggles
do not choose "OTA flashable" toggles in the drop down menu or your UI will FC so bad you have to wipe it all and reflash everything from scratch.
Support for the rom can be found in the Developers thread.
Updated the download link to the xtrestolite 1.5 which is the only working version for AT&T
Credit to: @moofasa29 for first bring this to my attention:good:
I can try to answer your questions, since I have gone through the OP repeatedly before flashing this. But I think your questions will be better answered in and by the OP.
I also got Viper4Android working and the edge feeds for music and quick launch with no issues just following their OP threads.
This ROM is sweet so far, I have had no issues with anything since my re-flash due to the toggle issue.

While it is appreciated you bringing this to the ATT users attention and walking everyone through the steps on how to flash. I would just make sure it's alright with the rom developer for you to post this in our section.

Funny you posted this, I sent a PM to @edgarf28 this afternoon to make sure he knew about this posted. He hasn't responded and if he does and he isn't happy with me posting a redirect post I will delete the post. I was just sharing information and wasn't thinking about stepping on toes when I wrote the OP here, I was so exited to have it working and I had to share.:good:
That was the first thing that should have been done!

It is there, scrolling through the list can be a pain but it is there.
It is weird you couldnt flash it as a normal zip from the DL folder. Thats where I flashes it from both times I flashed the rom and add-on pack.

No Samsung account.
The only issue I have found is you cannot sign into your Samsung account. Thus can't download galaxy apps.
I opened the theme store and it asked me to sign in' it signed me in just fine.

I tried that. Not working for me. Maybe I messed up on the aroma options or something.

I did that previously with the same issue. I didn't resolve the issue until I opted to keep the stock framework as oppose to the alliance. Thanks for the help though.
Anyone else having GPS issues? It seems to half work. It will locate me, but not track when moving. So, nav is broken
Searching for GPS
I'm surprised it even works considering it's for the G925F lol... Then again, maybe it's just lame Verizon that causes issues with flashing a ROM from the G925F...
Why call this rom the PlayStore Rom? Because this rom features absolutely nothing, thats the beauty of it! If you want something your going to have to get it from the PlayStore. You can customize it any way you want. The rom boots and you can make a phone call and get on the playstore thats about it. So have fun! ​
Features
Google Dialer and Google Contacts
S7 Camera
Google Launcher
Samsung Gallery Left so Lockscreen Wallpaper can be changed
Google Now
Google Maps
Verizon Visual Voicemail
L Speed (for tweeks and other stuff)
Thats It No More! Dont Ask Thats why its called the Playstore Rom. If you want it download it!

Alot of things will not work or may FC in settings. This is because it is removed. Deal with it!

You must decide if you want to use Google IncallUI or Samsung InCallUI. Samsung InCallUI will allow too still receive and switch to video calls and the google IncallUI will only support HD calling. To switch to google IncallUI goto settings/applications click on default applications choose calling app and click on the blue phone app. To switch back to samsung IncallUI is a little more complicated. You will need an app like root explorer and goto data/system/users/0 and then findthe setting_secure.xml and delete and then restart phone. This will restore samsung IncallUI as default
You will also want to turn edge features off since everthing is deleted
Also you need to goto SuperSU app and goto settings and click on enable su during boot and also click trust system users
Goto this thread and under Recommended Next Steps find the S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip or latest version and flash to fix kernel lage and doze fix.
Goto setting/about phone
Click on build number 5 times to enable developer options
Change animation and duration scales to .05 this will speed up phone
You will also have to change charging/file mode from within developer options
Remember Wiping Dalvik cache will cause phone to take up to 10 min to boot on deodexed roms
If using samsung IncallUI here is a fix for call phone FC and also location service fix

@jkruse Thanks bro appreciate your efforts. One favor, do you know where the Olympic theme is located on your first Rom? (Which folder?) I'm going to extract it from the other version and install it in this one. For some reason its not on the Samsung theme store.

I didnt mean for my reply to come across rude. I just thought since the OP looks like the other one you thought it was the same. This is basically nothing but a bootable rom with like 5 apps installed thats it there are over 180 running apps removed. I kind of thought it would be cool to be able to build your rom how ever you want it without having to worry about what you can delete and what you cannot. I appreciate the support especially on new development. Understand I have many threads and and other devices so i sometimes keep my answers short and direct especially when using the mobile app which I hate using.

Ok, that is what I thought. I just was trying to determine if there was anything else major missing from that other ROM, knowing some apps would have to be pulled or installed, hence your "Playstore" moniker for this ROM. Ok, this is a good clean base ROM for those who like to order "a la carte" down the road when the need for other features are required. I may give it a spin for the fun of it.
Cool! We are good.
sweet idea

I'm using the Google incall with no issues at all. Probably no need to flash if that's what you're using.
So far the ROM is nearly perfect.
Having some MMS issues again. It only works when Wifi is turned off or not connected to a network.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I even flashed your fix it ZIP.
Hey I'm considering installing this ROM because I live the minimalism of it. How's the performance? Anyone mind posting an AnTuTu score?

I actually found one of the battery saver apps to be causing the issue. I think it was amplify through xposed, it caused the mobile data to turn off when connected to wifi. So, i turned it off and haven't had an issue since.
