It appears that the vibration and other settings are not active in Gohma 2.0
From my research it seems that the /system/etc/rc.d/01tweaks file never gets to run.
I have been messing around with my watch to find a place to trigger execution of that directory but haven't found one yet.
Where did you put an initialization for it last time?

The init.d/rc.d directories seem to be run from the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file. Look there and you should see the run-parts command. Which btw okibi, is ingenious, using the stock recovery script to provide init.d support in the face of a kernel that doesn't support it natively.

What software compilation are using Gohma 2.0? I´ve been testing and I have the corrosion problem with a Lg G watch (1,4 volts between pins while being out of the charger), perhaps the base isn´t a "finished-on-Y" compilation?
Nice work, 0 lag everywhere!

Bootloop
While I was running the windows installation to upgrade to 2.0, the program crashed, and the rom is stuck in a bootloop. I can boot into fastboot, and the recovery, but nothing. Any help?

Toolkit should work to get back to stock lollipop.

Still a bug
There is still a little bug in gohma 2.1, but I fixed it in the script.
SOMETHING sets the governor back to userspace/787200 about a minute into the watches' boot.
I logged in and watched it occur.
However the other parameters now stick.
I fixed it with the following:

I reinstalled using your additional governer tweak, is there any way to check and make sure its working? Seems to have made a noticeable improvement, it reduces some random lag i was getting with Wear Mini Launcher

I log into the phone using:
adb shell
and check that the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor remains 'ondemand'.
I noticed when I logged in with gohma 2.0 and 2.1, that this would get switched back to 'userspace' after a little less than a minute.
I'm not sure the 01tweaks file was even executed in 2.0. Definitely is executed in 2.1, but, something else in the system was changing the scaling settings back to defaults.
if its not working, the file above will be 'userspace', if it does, it is 'ondemand'.
Also, I have set my default top speed to 1.0ghz which is why wear launcher is probably snappier. This MAY have an impact on battery life, but probably not too much because the watch remains at about 300mhz whenever idle.
You can check /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies for valid values for the FREQ variable. Lower numbers probably mean marginally better battery life.

A handy utility that you can sideload on our watch is PerfMon by Chainfire:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933284
If your frequency fluctuates from 300 to 1190, then you are on ondemand governor.

Alynna,
Thanks for the enforcer mod. For some reason after installing your mod, the governor was still on userspace/787200. After playing around I changed sleep from 5 to 10 and now it works great.
:good:

The standard 5.0 ROM version has a new sleep function that turns off the watch display if it hasn't moved for 30 minutes. This is driving me nuts as I always put my watch next to my monitor while I'm working so I have to keep waking it up or I miss notifications.
Is this "feature" in this ROM and if so, is there any way to turn it off or extend the timeout ?
Thanks

---

i'm looking at the rom and kernel.
the kernel looks like it has more option/tweaks.
i know both dont work together a bit normal cause the rom is a bit the same it are tweaks and no visual changes
i think kernel looks better. in way of functions.
just this rom has also more cpu steps? 300-1.1ghz?
cause if im right stock just is locked on 778mhz? and even with wear control app seems like i can't change it (i mean i don't realy know cant see if power save or balanced governers do any thing). need to check with a app how fast my cpu is running.

---

This ROM had been great! One question: Does the reset option in the watch settings properly reset and keep gohma tweaks? I tend to flash allot of ROMs on my phone and have been flashing my watch back to stock then each time as well as reflashing gohma. Stock recovery here. See no real reason for custom when everything is done using adb and computer.

Yup. Just reset between phone ROM flashes.

Any update or thoughts on if we can find a way to make this ROM stop pumping out the 1.74 volts to our wrists via the metal contacts? Just discovered the whole issue of corrosion via the voltage emitted from the watch while being worn. I checked mine, running this ROM, and sure enough: it's live. 1.74 volts of electricity going into your wrist while you wear this thing. LG claims to have sent out a software fix a while back.
Thanks for the development & work on this ROM! Hopefully an "ah-ha" moment can be had and get this issue solved!

---

To think some people actually pay to have electricity run thru their body.. LG didn't consider it a feature? Lol
No corrosion here.

Gohma 2.2 - NEED DOWNLOAD
Jake's site to download the rom seems to be acting up. The download is extremely slow and keeps failing. I am in desperate need of this excellent ROM!! Does anybody have an alternate download link for Gohma 2.2? Any help is greatly appreciated.

---

Quick question? Installed 2.2 and everything runs fine except Perfmon only shows one core active. If I run the adb script I can turn the others on but for some reason by default one one core is up after a reboot. Any help.

The 01tweaks script on 2.3 didn't work for me either. Ondemand and frequency are correctly set, but only one core. Couple of workarounds:
1. Set the cores directly using adb commands from your PC.
2. Sideload kernel adiutor from the play store (nice kernel tuner app that works on our watch, dev is active on XDA)
3. Or modify the 01tweaks script to set the cores within the enforcer part of the script (right after $GOV and $FREQ are set)
Code:
# Wait around for the system to change the governor and change it back, then exit when we're sure its set.
# This function will remain running for a minute to enforce the change, until it's sure the system won't change it back.
