Greetings to LG G Watch owners..
Hope I can contribute to this wearable community

---

Thank you for sharing

---

Awesome! I'm trying this out when I get home. I'm on Gohma right now, should I go back to stock?

---

Great, used your kernel on my S3.
Do you need to have a stock rom or can we flash it when on Gohma rom?

---

Using a custom ROM with this kernel won't matter.

Great kernel Thanks

---

Great!!
Thank you!
For having also stock kernel again?
Edit:
For having stock kernel agiain, I must use LG Watch tool...

---

Question, if we are running on a custom ROM and flash this will it overwrite the ROM or will it work with it? And will this work flashing from a Mac?

The ROM part will stay the same as before.
No OS X support, sorry!

So, you think that we can use your kernel, with graphene rom? Because I had some troubles when I've installed that rom on your kernel... I didn't try installing before that rom, and then your kernel...
Edit:
I've done and it's ok!
May be.... How I can see if your kernel is running?

Mind if I use you kernel in my ROM? Also, thanks for providing source, I wasn't able to get the source from google's git to boot. If you want to try to start building ROM's as well, I can link you to my device tree (still a wip)

Sorry but I don't allow any of my kernel to be integrated to other projects.
Building my source and uploading or forking is also something I would prefer not to happen.
But you can freely cherry-pick any commits from my source.
And I can help you with Google source not booting. If you had upstreamed your kernel, you need to change the IO scheduler to something not ROW.
Your device tree sounds interesting, but is there any ROM actually buildable?

To my knowledge no. Last time I sync'd my source with the official Google source it still was incomplete (a few makefiles are broken/missing as well as a few other problems). I planed on porting the necessary files in from stock 4.4.4, but with Google releasing Lollipop in less then a month, I've decided to wait until that is uploaded to see if it is complete then. You can find it here in case you want to check it out, although right now it refers to some vendor files that aren't in the official CM git, so I'll need to fork and complete the android_vendor_lge repository when I have time.

Can anyone pls explain me, what the different is, between kernel und rom on the lg g watch? cause i rly don't see any changes with the rom, beside batterylife and stuff.

---

I installed this after I installed the update. I have now notices that I cannot cover my watch with my hand to shut it off. Is that because of the update or because of the new kernel? I didn't know if this was a bug or not even related. Great kernel so far battery life seems better also. The watch has also been very responsive.
