Just saw Google has released "Android Wear".

Hoping someone with more android knowledge than me could take a look and see what we'd need to get this running on the gear.
Developer Preview here:

oh yeah that would be nice.

I don't see the problem although I am NOT a developer But these Guys here are just plane awesome I have no doubt but if they are offering the SDK already that these guys will take off with it.I just don't know how our screens resolution would be compared to these watches lol that is if they don't make some kind of update that locks are bootloaders on the watch lmao. go Samsung!
I immediately thought the same thing...
"we need that aosp style wear Android ported to the Gear".
That'll be gorgeous.
We already have custom recovery, and a first (and good) custom rom with Null_rom.
If the wear OS is to watches what aosp is to smartphones, that would be pretty easy to do for our skilled devs here

Is Xposed gonna be available for Android Wear some time, when it gets more popular, so people can make modules to edit (apps installed on) Android Wear?

I don't know how the Android Wear OS differs from the OS on phones and tablets. If they are built from the same source, then chances are that Xposed will work with little adjustments. But I can't test anything because I don't have any devices to test.

Awesome! I don't have a Wear device (yet) either, but I was just curious if you were planning on updating it or at least trying to. It doesn't really matter if it takes a while, Android Wear is still a really young platform.
BTW, there also is an emulator for Android Wear for the pc, don't know if you can test it on that (you can root it too) http://www.xda-developers.com/android/running-the-android-wear-emulator-good-now-root-it/

Currently it's not on my to-do list, there are so many other things pending.
As for the emulator: It's very slow if you can't use hardware acceleration (AMD CPU).

That's fine. You probably want to focus on ART, with Android L coming, don't you?

Thanks!
As I'm sure many of you have heard by now Google announced Android Wear on ios this week (start of sept 15) but apparently this first iteration will only work with a few smartwatches. One of those mentioned was the urbane and since ours is basically same hardware I was wondering if anyone has managed to get this to work yet ? Yes I know this means admitting that you have a different phone that is NOT an android but Android Wear is android so it is a valid question. thanks.
UPDATE: Looks like the discussion has already started see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ndroid-wear-ios-connectivity-t3052524/page106 post#1060 onwards...
The watch requires Wear 1.3 to talk to iOS. It's this reason the older watches aren't "supported" because without an Android phone connecting to them first they'll never get the update.

Mine works fine with iPhone 6 (IOS 8.4.1)
hello guys!
i see alots of post on reddit and on xda that the lg watch urbane 1st edition is getting android wear 2.0 and i own one as well, i got the andeoid wear app update on google play and its updated to 2.0 and my watch is running android wear 1.5 still, i dont want to go in that flashing process via adb but any body has got a notification on the watch for itself to download the update as we normallly get the security patch updaes?
man i am waiting for this update more curiously than i waited for nougat on htc 10.
Hopefully this will address some of the performance issues with Wear 2.0??

It seems to come to the ZW3, but I'm not too optimistic about the optimizations. Asus did not a very good job in bringing AW2 to ZW3.

I saw that article. I'm hoping that there are some optimizations in AW3 that are just inherent to the improvements made by Google themselves. Most of these watches run on virtually identical hardware, so there shouldn't be much performance/endurance difference between them.
Is the update going to be pushed by ASUS or WearOS app?
If it's going to be by ASUS, I don't think we will ever get it.
I know what the article says, but what do we think the chances are we will get the update?
Has anyone got 2.1?https://m.gsmarena.com/the_redesign...ling_out_to_smartwatches_today-news-33513.php
I got an Android Wear Update last night on the phone and the watch, but it changed absolutely nothing.

If you look in your app drawer you will see that the
text/label/fonts next to the icons is now a very bold
and nicer font. Easier to read especially at first glance.
I am sure there are more differences, but no time to
hunt them all down. I am speaking about the wear os
which google updated via the play store today.
(it's not the system update)
Good luck, have a great day!

That is correct. So let's hope the system update will come soon.

But will the new update be a full firmware update like Android Wear 2.0
was or will it be another play store update of the Wear OS app?
I am a bit confused, is this Wear OS 2.1 a playstore update for the Wear OS 2.1 app or is it a firmware update like the Android Wear 2.0 was about a year ago or so?
I have a Zenwatch 3 and have flashed several @janjan roms using ADB fastboot and many times I had to downgrade to Android Wear 1.5 before I could successfully flash these custom janjan Android Wear 2.0 firmwares (roms).
After flashing the Android Wear 1.5 stock system.img, recovery.img and boot.img
the watch booted up perfect;y and alerted me that it's downloading the Android Wear 2.0 firmware update. The watch updated properly and perfectly without any issues. But all of what I just wrote means nothing if we are all waiting for a Wear OS 2.1 app (apk file) from the playstore and not an actual full firmware update.
If it is a full firmware update I am wondering what would happen if I were to downgrade to Android Wear 1.5 and allow the watch to do it's update, would the firmware update be Wear OS v2.1 or would the watch simply install the official Android Wear 2.0 full firmware again?
All of the above means nothing if all we are talking about is a Wear OS 2.1 update from the playstore. I just got a play store Wear OS update this morning and I found that after the update the fonts and text in my app drawer looked a lot nicer.
The fonts next to the icons in my app drawer are now bold fonts/text and I think they are a bit larger too. It really looks nice.
Before I updated the Wear OS app this morning I scrolled down in my watch to view all the the screen shots of the Wear OS update and noticed that there were many screens which where new and different but after the update I did not have any of those screens which were depicted in the new Wear OS playstore update in my watch.
The exact version of the playstore update this morning of the Wear OS app is:
Wear OS 2.16.0214308073 and incase it means anything the play services app has a version of 13,2,80 (050300-211705629)
Let me know what you guys find out.
The main thing that we all need to know is whether this Wear 2.1 update is a playstore app or if it's a full new updated firmware.
Just got the update. Rebooting was so fast, I think they only changed watch face area (didn't notice any change on the system itself)

I didn't notice big improvements from previous version. It's still laggy all over the place (what to expect from a snapdragon 400 anyway)
That said, I think the new navigation is much better than the old one. Horizontal swipe on watch face now actually does something useful. I can read more than a notifications on the watch screen. Expanding notification seem to draw less resource, so it feels smoother.

Zenwatch3 uses Snapdragon 2100. But yeah. It is laggy as hell.
For the update, must be staged or something, I tried the two hacks for forcing the update, but nothing. Can you please share a photo of "Versions" screen?
Interestingly the update hasn't bumped up the android version so i think it's not to the core OS. Could explain why Google were able to promise it to all even though the Zenwatch 3 didn't get the last update

You are so right, even now half the people don't know
for sure if this new update is a firmware update or only
a cosmetic update with a few new features and changes.
A lot of people are not even sure if this update is simply
a new version of the Wear OS app from the play store
or if it's a true system firmware update like the Android
Wear 2.0 was. (OTA)
Good luck, have a great day! (enjoy the update)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what I done to get the update sooner without waiting for it.
First of all I must say the following:
This update is just a UI update NOT a firmware update. That's why our version numbers do not change after the watch updated. I have a Zenwatch 3.
What I had to do to get the update was to re-install/flash the original Android Wear 1.5 firmware. (the firmware which came with the watch when I first purchased it).
I tried all the other ways people here talk about but none of those ways worked for me.
After flashing the original Zenwatch 3 Android Wear 1.5 firmware the watch automatically started the UI upgrade within less than 5minutes. The watch rebooted twice before the update was completed.
Just remember everyone, we are NOT talking about any SYSTEM version update but instead it's just a UI cosmetic upgrade which does not change any of the watch's version numbers.
I don't know why the Wear OS developers who announced this Wear 2.1 upgrade could not simply tell everyone what's really going on instead of letting everyone guess. LOL
Good luck everyone. LOL
To me, this fits in with the new Google approach.
Being able to push 'partial' updates directly regardless of the individual drivers / base software installed by the individual manufacturers.
From my pov, I'm a fan, getting the newer look and feel on older devices faster. Win all round if they apply to phones as well.
As an aside, I upgraded yesterday, battery life today hugely improved so some optimisation has certainly gone through.
(Agree with the earlier poster as well, the UI is still a bit laggy)
Gives me hope we may see future updates c/o Google, as Asus are unlikely to.

I just noticed that even though I have the update the background of the new
notifications and the quick settings pulldown are still that dark greyish color..
The background of the OK Google screen is black and the background of
my google fit is also black. (the background of the app drawer is still grey)
You are right, the google developers do a half ass job.
Good luck with your new update!
Have a great day!
Also got it here, so far, so good.
No complains and new swipes are good.
