Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I love the look of the new android wear watches and I've noticed that the gear live is the same spec as the gear V700. This maybe a very stupid question but does anyone think if you root the v700 you could then install the android wear ROM ?
Like I say I'm sorry if this is a silly question I'm just hoping its possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys, sorry if it has been asked already
I'm wondering if I should by a Gear 2 or a live .
I think I might be interrested to place and respond to some calls on my watch but I'm not totally sure also.
On the other hand, I found the live interface a little bit too annoying. Don't really a big fan of swiping the cards and go through everyone one of them to find your stuff.
I probably don't have a good understaning of how these watches are working , that might be the problem.
Thanks in advance guys.
Sounds like you already answered your own question.
May like to answer calls at the watch, do not like cards but I am not going to tell you what to buy.
Being stuck with Samsung devices (non Samsung Devices are only partly functional), and Tizen I would never buy a Gear 2.
I like the always on display of the Gear Live, hate the Gear 2 battery life.
I like the idea Android Wear can not be customized (add Samsung bloat), and there are 3 soon to be 4 manufacturers
Honestly at this point if it would not kill me to wait for a few weeks I be tempted to see if the Moto-360 lives up to the hype.

Yep that's a good point ! And I think you helped me a lot with your honesty.
I was not thinking indeed Tizen vs Android.
The Moto 360 is very tempting but I think the price will be too high for me.
Another question if I may, has anyone tried to use the Gear Live with a phone that has a passcode on it ? (a real passcode with 8 characters, not a pin).
I'm asking that because I have one from work which has Maas 360 installed on it and it's something I can't remove.
Thanks again
Hello,
For device comparisons, please go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229761. I will have to close this one.
I got my hands on a i95 smartwatch. I'm having trouble trying to find whether someone has ported AW to this device. Has anyone heard that this has been done or is in development?
Hello, everyone, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question however I couldn't find anything during my research and was looking for some help.
I'm looking for a way to port Android Wear 2.0 to an Android device or development board.
My end goal is to try and create a custom smartwatch like device that runs Android Wear 2.0 and use a development board or an inexpensive Android device (like Blu phones) as a prototype. I have found many development boards that run Android (like the UDOO NEO FULL) but haven't been able to get Android Wear onto it.
Does anyone know of any development boards that comes with Android wear on it or know of a way to port Android Wear to it or a Blu phone?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Hi,
Today is my birthday, and my girlfriend got me a cheap smartwatch. I'm happy with the sediment behind the gift, believe me I am. However, there are a few things that caught my attention:
The proprietary android app (used to push notifications and such) has advertisements.
It is possible to flash firmware onto the GT08.
So I was wondering, is it possible to flash stock android wear (or close to stock) onto this watch? If so, could someone direct me to a guide? I would be happy if I could use the Android Wear app instead of this ad ridden thing by the manufacturers.
Thank you in advance.
I'm in the exact same position as this person... can anyone help? Please :fingers-crossed:
Same

Yes, Me to!
Simple Answer is No. Even with old Android Wear like Sony SW3 (deprecated) nobody can made an updated OS

1) yes -- dev / programmer
2) yes -- proprietory equipment / software required.
It's cheaper just to buy a better watch if you 'HAVE' to have those capabilities.
I have a 'timemaker' from amazon watch, its decent, and it works as a watch. Sleep not so accurate, hr not so accurate as my table has a pulse of 160 (should really relax a bit) it does not count steps very well.
troublebshooting 'nameless' brands is always a challenge and most mod apps will not work.
So in short if modding is what you 'NEED' get a brand name watch; asus, samsung xiomi etc.
If a good estimate of your lifestyme (sleep, hr, steps) is good enough, then the no name is fine.
Always read reviews and check out companion app reviews before purchase (I'd have recommended a different one as the first one had to be sent back)

Hi - With the Galaxy Watch 5 pro coming out I'm considering switching to it from my Galaxy Watch 3. However, I want to try to "save" (transfer) my tizen based watch faces to Wear OS. These have all been downloaded from the Galaxy Play Store. Is there a way to do this? Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks!
Sorry to say but you can't do this. Different OS and Store. some developer rebuild watchface from Tizen to Wear OS and of course there will be a little different because using different software development too.
Like mentioned before this isnt possible, but i would recomend looking into facer.
Ok Thank you both for your replies!
