Ok, let me get straight to the point, shall I? Is Anyone working on a port of Android Wear 2.0 to the Gear S? I would love to see this, as I love my Gear S running Wear 1.5, but I hate not being able to use the Google Assistant! Also, perhaps there is a way to unofficially get Google Assistant onto an older version of Android Wear?
Love to hear some news!

Has anyone heard or have some insight as to when/if HTC will update their messaging app to support Android Wear?

Thats a good question. I toyed with AW with the G Watch and the Gear live, but I use GoSMS, and it worked like a champ. I dont think I have personally used a stock messaging app in years ...too bland
I hear you but it would be nice of oems got on board so that it would add functionality right out of the box instead of having to switch apps...

only rumour but the up coming Z1 is able to run android apps

Rumor sadly incorrect: Android apps won't run on the Z1.
I'd love to find a way to install Android apps on the Gear S. The Tizen app store is such a joke
Google won't let Samsung get away with installing Google Play Market apps, especially Google services apps on a non-sanctioned OS, especially the one Samsung is hoping to compete against Android OS. So, the best Samsung can do is create its own app market and hope devs are supporting it. I seriously doubt this will take off. Samsung can't even make its own Android app work correctly across its own ranges of Android phones. They know how to make fantastic phones but their software has always below average.

Glad im not the only one.
I too have been searching for how to do this. Did you ever succeed?
I found some android 5.0 links from a google search, but they look fake. wonder if CM11 or CM12 would work OR the method used for the gear 2. Sure would be nice. i almost got the ZGPAX S8 (nearly the same guts), but opted for the Gear S (for the scren) w/ hopes for the eventual android ROM.
Fingers Crossed,
:good:
hasnt happened, there is nothing in the works, any links on google that say otherwise are false....
Hello Everyone,
I am sure you are all aware of the extensive list of bugs and issues that plagues the Amazfit. As of now, there are no real ways to circumvent the issues as Xiaomi/Huami seem reluctant to make any updates or fix the issues and even the PACEfied ROM has a few bugs that carry over from the base firmware.
That leads me to the following question. Since the Amazfit firmware has an android base, would it be possible to port Android Wear to the watch? Android wear should be able to fill the gaps of functionality that effects the device.
wear is not an open source OS, thus, you'll have some major issues of porting.
Unfortunately this is the issue. It would be awesome to have this watch on android wear but as it's closed, it would be at best a while..
On the subject of custom ROMs, would it not be suitable to develop a custom android based ROM?
Wish AW was open source.. people have made ROMs (I'm thinking Ghoma on my LG ages back!) So here's hoping
Maybe build an Android wear-like ROM based on Android with custom app to link with it...?
I think that it is not completely impossible. I know that for Sony 3 smartwatch they did a port of AW ver.2 from other AW smartwatch. So the port should be possible as the AW is out there.
Any way we can actually work on this? Tips? I would love to help.

Maybe build a ROM based on Android and the UI is similar to Android Wear?
This actually would be awesome!
Its possible to install AsteroidOS on amazfit watch? And google upload some part of Android Wear code to AOSP project.
you're asking or telling?
that would be good
just bad i dont realy know how to port roms
Hi,
I recently got Amazfit Stratos and I am wondering if there is a way to load Android Wear watch face on it? Or at least is there a way to port it? I am specifically interested in this one and wasn't able to find anything similar.
I am new to smart wearables but not new to Android development. Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
G
It may work actually, but don't expect it to work when the device is in sleep mode (without the backlight)
Install this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/dev-android-wear-framework-t3781906
Download the APK from the play store link you provided using any old APK downloader that's online, then extract the Wear APK from res/raw, install it on the watch and set it as the watch face. If it works, great! If it doesn't, you're probably out of luck
Thanks for the info!
Wondering if this requires unlocked bootloader?

Are you sure nrohing can be done I mean xda is a huge platform I m preety sure someone could do something about it or atleast help me how to use this stupid lefung app I mean there are 2 apps out there one does show display faces but bluetooth wint connect to that app
Yes, I'm sure.
Regarding your other question: Maybe you will find help in some sort of China-Phone forums. I guess no one will know the app (or your watch) here in the WearOS forum.
Ohh thanks
