Fossil Gen 5 LTE Global ROM? - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought a Fossil Gen 5 LTE and i found out that the watch is in Simplified Chinese and couldn't find a way to change it to other languages. Is there a way to flash a global rom or change it to English?

Axon 7 2017 vs 2017G

I've been lurking around this forum section for a while but couldn't find a clear answer to my question :
what are the hardware differences between A2017 model ( chinese ) and A2017G model ( european )?
is it doable to get a full software replica (including OTAs ) of the european model by flashing a chinese bought model?
the only difference i could detect so far is the zte logo on the chinese version
Software, I assume, it is not a problem. The main differences are in radio modules. Each model supports different LTE Bands., e.g. A2017G supports LTE B28 but model U and Chinese doesn't.
I'm planning to buy this device as well, but I don't really like the capacitive buttons of the EU version.
I'm reading throught various thread but I cannot find an answer for the following question : if I buy the chinese A2017 model with on screen navbar (softkeys) will I be able to install LineageOS ? For example the Unjustified Dev's builds ?
As much as I've understood CM13 works ok, but Lineage 14.1 does not because of older bootloader

I think Lineage has an option to enable soft keys built into the settings

That was a 10 month bump. I'm pretty sure he already figured out by himself...

Custom ROMs like Lineage OS for Android Wear smartwatches

Recently I have been wondering if it would be possible to have a Lineage-like custom ROM for Android Wear smartwatches. Since it is possible to unlock the bootloader and install custom software on such a smartwatch, why wouldn't it be possible to install a custom-made OS on a device of this kind?
Please excuse me if this question has been answered before.
Came here for the same question, over half a year later...
look for Project open watch

There are a early builds like AsteroidOS and FitWear. I have tested both AsteroidOS is in a very early state of development. check out this page: https://asteroidos.org/. And FitWear supports a few chinese APPs. But this OS isnt't practicable yet for a every day use.

Android 9- ROMs.

Hello, I searched for ROMs running Android 8.1 and lower but couldn't find any. I want WPS connect feature but as Google has removed it in Pie. Will there be any Android 9- ROM?

You couldn't find any, because the RN7 came with Android 9.
Every ROM for the RN7 is based on 9.0 so I don't know why you're asking that question

Yes I know RN 7 was released with Android 9 but I'm asking is there any way to downgrade to lower Android versions.
No, there are no -9 Roms for Lavender.
And i don't think that we will ever get one, as developers focus on Q right now.
Maybe you should try a slightly older phone, like Mi 8 lite, which came with Oreo.

Yes - if you built those lower Android version ROMs yourself. I assume that you will not attempt to do this (because neither will anyone else). So, as long as you want to use lavender, you are stuck.

Chinese version of the Oppo Watch

I bought the Chinese version of the oppo watch when it first launched. I am wondering if there was a way to flash it to the Wear OS as it is running the stock Chinese OS. Is there a way this can be done? Or did i just flush 400 down the drain?
Same problem! No solution yet out there.
That would be great to have, but haven't seen anything....
At least you all have a cooler looking UI and many more OPPO Official watchfaces than our Global variant. We only have 12 OPPO official watch faces and it is hard to find watch faces that fit the form factor of this watch.
Hi, has anyone heard any new developments on flashing Wear OS to these watches? I'm in the same situation.
Hello everyone and happy new year. Stay safe..
According to Oppo...
"the Oppo watch has the security boot function, so even if the kernel is compiled successfully, the unsigned kernel cannot run directly on the watch".
I am thinking to retur my Oppo watch 46mm back. I can't get the compiled kernel to run on this watch. No twrp and no custom kernel and ROM for this device.

Can I install a Custom Rom? If so help with o.s link and procedure. Thanks
Hey @emcube009 !
I have the same crappy Chinese Android-derived OS on my Hisense TV. Did you find a solution to your problem?

You have to change the region in settings or by doing factory reset, on the setup select your region
Unfortunately no.

I also have a Hisense smart TV LTDN50MU7000UHK with a Chinese OS. A custom ROM with link and installation procedures will be much appreciated
Figured out how to unlock Hisense bootloaders, but not much else. Still need to figure out a way to extract firmware packages. (Android TV)
