[KERNEL][Wren/Sparrow][6.0]NKernel[23/08] - Asus ZenWatch 2

KCal warning: I would highly advise against putting your screen on a single color all the time because screen burn-in is very much there on this device so take it easy! (example: setting the screen tint to red and leaving it there for an extended period)

Whats the HID Patch?

---

Can low bit ambient mode be disabled via the kernel? I'm dying for that feature, and disabling it via the build.prop doesn't work anymore.
Very exciting to see some kernel dev for 6.0.1 already!

It allows your device to act as a keyboard so you can send commands to a computer via usb, when I installed kali nethunter on my phone I found out I could do that so I applied the patch to the watch so it can do that too (with the right app/script of course )

---

Woo hoo! we are getting variety on this watch

---

delete!!!!

---

does this need busybox and root? or can I just tethered boot TWRP and flash?

---

@noahvt I just got this up and running and i the watch already feels snappier!
any settings you recommend changing in kernel audiutor?

No not yet, I'm using different combinations of governors and I/O schedulers, I'll let you know when I find the best combination

Hmmm that's definitely interesting, I'll take a look at it!

---

Sooo, how do I flash it ?? I'm sorry, haven't been reading on carefully but I can't find root or recovery for the zenwaych 2

---

I flashed it using a tethered boot of TWRP. I'm not sure if it can be flashed via fastboot
Root is needed if you want to use kernel auditor with it. There is a SuperSU 2.6x wear version. I found it in the lg g watch forums in a zip that includes kernel auditor and busybox all in the same package

OK, SuperSU is installed, there's just not an interface. Now that I think about it, I had to adb sideload the kernel auditor wear version. Hold on and I'll link you

Yes, using Kernel Auditor. Anyway i don't know how can this impact battery life. Currently testing dual core!
Edit: seems like the option in kernel auditor it's not sticking after a reboot..
Can this feature be added?
