Description:
Today I have created a system app called Home Button which help us to simulate physical Home Button by tapping a virtual button.So we can use this virtual button to open a wear's default launcher and to complete the wear tutorial (After Reset / Fresh installation.No more paper clips). Also you can use this button on 3rd party app to simulate Home Button if its required.
Features:
Single Press to open android launcher.
Long Press to open Google Assistant.
Auto Start at Boot.
Screen position can be configured .
Transparency can be configured.
Installation:
System Image - App packed inside. This image is created using @ab123321's script. So same as ported rom with App packed inside.
Flash the system image provided below using fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash system dory.img
Manual installation of APK: (Not necessary if you flashed system image using above method)
1. Create a folder called "HomeButton" under /system/app/
2. Copy the apk into the folder
3. Set permission to 644
4. Restart.
Download:
Version 3:
Note: If you are in version 2 and Google Assistant is working fine for you means you don't need this version. Only updated Google App to 8.20.13.25 and HomeButton to 3.0.0 in this version.

Oh! That's GREAT!

---

I flashed your system image, and it is working fantastically. Thank you. One word of warning for other users the first boot after flashing took around 10 minutes so don't panic just let it do it's thing.

---

Has anybody notice if they hold 2 fingers on the screen to turn it off it actualy triggers a command to open the app drawer. Maybe we could expand this built in feature.

can anybody help my pc wont pick up my watch in fastboot mode after the wear 2.0 update
---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------
finally got abd to work and fastboot devices lists my watch now but the home button img will not install it comes up uknown error data transfer failed? please help.

Finally fixed all the errors and it has installed correctly now but the ROM is very unstable, constantly crashing,freezing and jamming up and the button is often non responsive. The other port for this without home button runs flawlessly so maybe collaborate on the project and intergrate each other works into one project.

Are you sure? Anyone else facing this issue?
I'm using this rom from last 7 days. I'm not facing any issue or any lagging.
FYI,I'm using this boot image. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73743155&postcount=511

Same problem here. "adb install" yields:
Failed to install ...: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/cyb.satheesh.homebutton-1: Package cyb.satheesh.homebutton has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!]
adb push ...\HomeButton_v2.apk /system/app
adb: error: failed to copy '...\HomeButton_v2.apk' to '/system/app/HomeButton_v2.apk': couldn't create file: Read-only file system
(sorry for the newbie questions)

Looks like you don't have permission to install it on /system.So you have to use system.img.

If your watch is rooted and system can be mounted as RW, then you can follow the manual installation. But as of now, our AW 2.0 rom is using Squash filesystem. We can't mount system as RW in squash filesystem. So you have to flash this system.img over AW 2.0 rom to get this work.

Thanks for the explanation. I now installed just the new system image (without erasing anything), and rebooted (which only took little time). Home button is now there, thanks alot!

---

Flashed the img and it has been working great for over a week.
I experienced the same bootloop as the original aw 2.0 port, which was solved by following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/general/tutorial-avoid-bootloop-porting-wear-2-0-t3656825

So thought I would join in on this seeing as this community is all but dead, I have installed and this is the best thing ever to happen to this device. AW2 runs just fine on this device and adding this home button makes it a lot easier to bring up Google Assistant and the app drawer. This device is still perfect for reading off notifications or getting a quick weather update.
I really hope this community stays alive seeing as Android Oreo will be making its way to AW soon.
Thanks for the virtual home button, it's a must have.

Will the Dev continue to support this watch for wear Oreo?

I don't know if there will be wear based on Oreo.
Hopefully I'm wrong.
The lenok2dory was port of Android Wear 2 for the G watch R, and it isn't getting Oreo.
