These are across several roms(senseless, bulletproof, etc) and don't seem rom specific.
First is creating a contact: I create a google contact(on device or online), doesn't seem to matter if it is in a group or not, and they don't show up in contacts. If I type their name to send an SMS it appears, but otherwise isn't searchable.
Second: on reboot the ringtone and notification sound I choose gets reset. Most of the time it doesn't even use the one it shows, it could be an entire song.. I understand it could be because the sdcard is scanning, but it happens on each rom I've tried.
Third: sometimes when I turn the screen on it will show "xxx has been granted superuser privledges".. is this because it was in deep sleep? My old phone doesn't do this, so I'm not sure if it is an error, but it happens with each app I have running continuously that has root, and across different roms.
Please don't just post I could search for the answer, I have, and I haven't found an answer. The contact one is most annoying, the ringtone one can be if i forget to set it after I reboot, and the super user one I'm just curious about..
Thanks in advance.

1. Depending on what ROM or what contacts app you're using, you should be able to choose what kind of contacts are shown in the app. I'm using BulletProof, so in the "People" app, I can choose to see only Google contacts by selecting the menu button soft key on the phone > View > Google contacts checked.
2. I've never had this problem, but in any case, I use an app called Ringtone Maker (link here) to trim and cut songs to use as my ring tone. I also use the app to set the trimmings as my ringtone, and it has never reset on me on any reboot. There are probably other solutions to this, but this is the way I set my ringtones and it's worked so far
3. The superuser privilege means that the application has been granted root access, which means that it can control certain parts of your phone that otherwise wouldn't be allowed if your phone was stock. In short, it means that the application is able to make changes and access system information on your phone because the ROM you installed comes with root. This is normal if you're using apps that require root.

1. Okay, I don't know if I have fully explored the VIEW part of the contacts, I didn't enable everything before because it had it showing as 2700+ contacts(thanks G+), but I just experimented with it a bit and it appears to be working right. Thanks.
2. Most of my ringtones and notifications were properly created or downloaded from the net, the problem is that on reboot it will go to the first on the list, while selecting a random song or ringtone from the internal SD. I am thinking that the ringtone/notification I choose must be on the external, so when it scans when the phone starts up, it chooses something available. I'm gonna see if I can move whatever ringtones/notifications I use to the internal sd fixes the problem.
3. I understand how root works, I was only asking because my old phone would only give that popup the first time it boots- on this phone when I turn the screen on sometimes, it will pop up that it gave superuser permissions as if the app didn't have it. I was more or less just wondering if this was a problem with the way the phone sleeps, or the superuser app, or something, only because I would never see that notification after the first boot with my old phone.
Really, the main annoyance was with adding a contact and not seeing it. Luckily I could select "my contacts"(using your advice) and not see the 2700 it says I have.. so that problem is pretty much solved, which I thank you for
For #2, use a file manager and move your ringtones to /system/media/ringtones (you may have to create the ringtones folder of it's not there). I have had this problem across a few different ROMs and that was the only way to fix it.
For #2:
Did you happened to checked "Backup my Setting" and "Automatic Restore" in Setting/Privacy?
I have the same problem before because Google automatically restored data from other Rom and they are conflicting ...
Try un-check the Automatic Restore and see if it is repeating

This seems to have fixed it Seems like having it in the /media/ringtone folder, when it would rescan on boot, the system would grab some other random sound.. but putting it in the system/media/ringtone and problem is gone. Thanks
After a lot of work I am presenting you my app to do the following: modeswitch / Spotify Control from SWC, voice dial using Google now.
Requirements:
1. Huifei type (MTCB) head unit
2. Root access
3. Mtc-keys module (thanks MVG-V70)
4. Android 4.4+ Rom
5. For Voice Dialing using Google Now:
a. Headunit service ( thanks Petrows)
b. True contacts app( download inside headunit service), and enter your contacts manually/ sync with Google account ,transfer or restore from phone
Features:
1. acts as HW- SWC-Modeswitch ( radio, music, DVD, Spotify, 2 custom apps)
2. Respects audio Focus of the currently active app. Opening one app mutes/kills audio coming from other apps. (Works for Radio, Music, DVD, Spotify regardless how was the app started, for the two custom apps works only if they are started through mode-Button). (To be fixed in Version 2.1)
3. Control Spotify using next/previous of the steering wheel buttons , regardless how spotify was opened.
4. Disable DVD/ Music/ Spotify in the mode circle.
5. Navigation monitor: If this option is activated, the screen returns in your preferred Navi-App after switching the Mode, if the navi app was already running. Select which Navi-App you are using, or add the package name of the app manualy.
6. it starts playing music automatically in Spotify
7. for devices lacking HW Modeswitch button: either you map an other button as Modeswitch or it can run as sw modeswitch ( as of now the latter will brake the spotify control functionality-- will try to fix it later)
8. Act as a bridge between headunit service from Petrows and Google now to do voice dialing.
Installation:
1. Install and activate MTC-keys ( see its threat for details)
2. Install and activate headunit service from Petrows, inside the app settings activate call from android and install true contacts app.
3. Sync or add contacts to the true contacts app
4. Reboot device
5. Install my app and run it
6. Give Root access to the app when you will ask to
Setup
On the first app launch, it opens app settings with following options:
A. Select to include DVD, Spotify, Music in the mode app list. Add until 2 custom apps if you want.
B. Activate software Modeswitch (if its activated, running the app from app drawer will change the mode)
C. Enter the SWC button code of the Modeswitch button ( default is 2, you can map any other button as well)
D. Choose to monitor your navigation, choose one option or enter navi app package manually
E. Activate or disable voice dialing
F. SAVE SETTINGS
TO OPEN SETTINGS AGAIN ONCE THE SETTINGS ARE SET DELETE APP DATA (ANDROID SETTINGS->APPS->MODESWITCH->Clear DATA) and rerun the app.
6. ONLY IF YOU HAVE A MODESWITCH BUTTON OR WANT TO MAP AN OTHER ONE BUTTON TO ACT AS MODESWITCH:
edit mtc-keys.ini and add this line:
app_XX = com.myapp.modeswitch
XX is the value of modeswitch button code you entered in my app settings, default is 2
How it works:
1, To change mode, just press the modeswitch button (or run the application if you selected software mode in the settings)
2, To make a call: open google now, and say : call "contact name"
Bugs:
1. there is a nag screen if you do a voice call (mobile network is not available) but it doesn't affect the app, so for now it left there.
2. You tell me....
Thanks to:
Petrows (headunit service)

It should work offline if you download the extra files for the Google now. Didn't try it though.
Hey p_mike83, This is exactly what I was looking for!
Unfortunately didnt get it to work.
To help you further in development or if you have any tips:
JY VQ125 RK3188 16GB unit with Malaysk FUSE ROM of jan 2016.
First I also had car service app running as well to control spotify.
When mode switching didnt work I turned it off as well as as many standard apps trying to get spotify to be your main music player in xposed module or android settings.
It might just be that I don't get mtc-keys to work. Will be doing more tests tomorrow!
On the bright side: voice dialer worked! (now only I have to set google to my native language since it doesnt get all the weird names in dutch )
Keep it up!

Thanks for your comment. I did not try the fuse ROM from malaysk yet, I am on the one before the last. I had with that rom problems settings up mtc-keys. I had to put the mtc-keys folder on an ext SD as on the internal did not work. ( the sdcard is in the GPS slot). On stock rooted ROM it worked on internal sdcard as well.
At the moment the MTC-keys module is needed, as I did not manage to overtake the function of modeswitch without it as the original modeswitch continues to work along with mine. ( leading in disaster).
And stg more, you have to make sure than in my app settings you entered the keyboard code of your modeswitch button ( default is 2)
Wow, just downloaded this app so i could use my unit as a real handsfree calling system, and now works like a charm! Set up google app to always listen to "ok google" so i can place a call without going into the app. The only problem is that the unit has to be connected to the internet, even with the downloaded languages. Is there any way to fix that? Not much of a problem as i have set up a profile on my phone so whenever it connects to the unit through bluetooth it starts the wifi hotspot, so the unit will connect and everything fine, but if offline was possible, less data the unit would use through the phone, as well as less battery the phone would use too. Thanks @p_mike83 for your work!!

Also, i forgot to add, whenever a call is placed still the message "no data connection" or smth like that appears, even though u can see the call on the background. A bit annoying as u have to press "ok" for the message to close. Cheers!

Last night I also tried offline recognition but failed on my unit. I have some ideas to try , maybe I find a workaround.
As of the nag, i will try to remove it in future versions, since it doesn't affect the functionality of the app.
OK I got it working too!
It was indeed the FUSE version that kept mtc-keys from working.
Placing the folder to your external SD AND deleting the one on internal SD did the trick.
Issues I can come up with:
- since my head unit has 2 mute buttons I figured I'd use one - the right tuning knob on push - to mode switch. But sometimes the unit still mutes. Can't yet tell when, sometimes it picks up the mute and unmutes it it seems.
- spotify does not auto play. Is there maybe a way you need to setup spotify? Perhaps we can tweak it to play a certain playlist as well ie.: Data: spotify:user:<USER ID>laylist:<PLAYLIST ID>lay (some tasker input details, perhaps they help or inpire you)
- lastly, is there a way to exclude music from the mode cycle? Since I use spotify as my main music source there's no need for the unit to cycle radio - music - spotify - radio etc.?
Tnx again! Love tweaking this sort of thing till we get it perfect!

do those mute buttons share the same button code? check that you entered the correct code in the app settings
spotify should autoplay if you open it with modeswitch, without needing you to setup anything. it continues to play the last played album/playlist. Maybe your unit needs a little more time opening spotify, so that the play command does not work. Do you have a RK3066 device maybe?
i will think about an option to play a certain playlist, but for now there are other more important things to do. Anyway you can search an artist/song etc with google now as well.
As for the option to disable music, i had it implemented in an earlier version of my app but removed it, cause i thought that it will not be necessary. i can add a switch for that as well, or maybe to choose from a butch of music apps (eg jetaudio)
what do you all think?
Do you have any other suggestions?

Btw I have a RK3188 so I dont think speed is the issue.
Also the mute buttons both have a different keys, still haven't figured out how they work exactly.
I'm thinking spotify start may also have to do with spotify not beeing in offline modus. Changed it, again will report manana.

yes i saw later that you mention you have a 3188 JY unit. i am also using spotify online, and it used to auto play. anyway i have set the waiting time to ca 5 seconds, i think is enough for spotify to open. but remember, a playlist/album on spotify should have beeing played before (anytime), otherwise spotify doesnt know what to play !

Hey Mike, I'm not sure what the intended behouviour is. When playing a playlist in shuffle play on spotify, then switching to radio and some time later back again, does not resume playback of spotify. I guess thats not working for anyone or is it? It's not a huge problem for me, love the mode switching button anyway Pressing shuffle play is no big deal.
However I suspect some other app interfering with spotify too. Since it comes up as standard player and pops up sometime as well. I'll try to sort this out first before testing further.
Btw I had a very busy weekend so no time to check the update yet.

Great work p_mike83, voice dialing working perfect now thanks
Did you create the app in Tasker? If so, would you mind sharing your Tasker files with me? I have a Tasker project just now that allows me to reply to SMS messages in the headunit but I was interested in seeing how you pull the number for the contact so I could try implementing a way of creating a new message rather than only being able to reply to messages.
Does anyone know how to sideload apps on the gear fit 2?
There's an option in the gear app to accept install of apps from unknown sources, so I'm assuming this will enable us to sideload apps (same as on android)
Have anyone been able to extract apps from their gear fit 2?
I'm just assuming tizen is similar enough to android that we should be able to extract apps from it.. Has anybody been able to extract an installed app?
Not sure if it's possible, but if you go into Settings > Gear Info > About Device and tap 5 times on the software version you get a prompt for a PIN code on a blue keyboard - maybe you can enable addition debug features there? I assume this is for entering service codes, haven't tried any known Samsung ones yet.
I was playing with the ones at the store, I noticed they have a different model number SM-R360X and also have the ability to update via wifi (they have a newer firmware as well). My Fit2 can't take the update via the Samsung store (seems like a ton of people can't, given the 1/5 star rating), so I'm going to try and figure out how to switch it to that mode.
*Edit* Just found the original Fit had this too, this thread has some of the service codes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739949
Although don't do the test mode > dimming, you'll have to force reboot the band by holding the home button.
*Edit2*
Well then, apparently by entering the dimming mode and then holding home, it takes you to the band's recovery screen / bootloader. Options are:
Continue, Download, Download (Wireless), Factory Command, Recovery, PowerOff.
Playing with these, there seems to be quite a few stuff. Including having it service for a special Access Point.
Did anything more come of this?
Yes, it's possible to sideload apps. You can use the Smart Development Bridge (sdb) to connect to the gear fit 2 and install apps. You can also do it directly from Tizen Studio if you're making your own app for it.
I haven't been able to get privileges to extract apps, although I haven't tried very hard.
See https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/web-tools/running-and-testing-your-app/sdb
Does anyone have any links to apps actually worth sideloading?
I've just got a new Android tv box Vontar Kiii. Overall a very good box. However, the box cannot run any apps in background like other normal android device. It always kills app as soon as I press the Home button. This happens to every app I run. I have particular problem when I run Openvpn Connect, it will immediately disconnect as soon as I leave the app. This never happens to my other Android phones or tablets.
I'm not sure why the rom set to kill the apps and not allowed them to run in background at all.
The box has 2gb ram, rooted.
How can I make it behave like a normal Android device?
Thanks in advance.
Update: solved. I have to press back key instead of home key.
Up, i have the same problem...
UP, in the past i knew how to fix it, it was something in the built.prop if i remember right.
My old KIII doesnt got this problem i fixed it somehow but my friends one got the same problem...
Dammit can no one help, it was written here in the forum if i remember right...
Finally found it....
So you have to use a explorer with root access and delete or edit "allowbackgroundapp.list" located at "/system/etc"
I use to edit the list and add the names of apps i wanne run in the background, like "org.xbmc.kodi" , "tv.twitch.android.app" or "org.mozilla.firefox".
Actually pretty easy, hope i could
Do not worry, this is not the old TicSystem trick - this is better
/!\ Only for TicWatch Users /!\
Hello,
While attempting to change my Wear OS accent color via ADB, I discovered a way to speed up the watch around 2.5 times (measurements done lazily, could be wrong. Still makes it faster, though.) - It does not cripple the watch at all (I have not tested battery life)
While everyone knows the one with disabling TicSystem (for you curious souls, it does not cripple the watch at all), I believe I may be the first one to do this. It revolves around Mobvoi's Wear OS overlay. Doing this trick made my watch really fast. The watch is around 2.5 times more responsive now and no matter what I do, I can not get the watch performance to slow, as it normally would.
It runs even better if you disable TicSystem too (Bottom power menu - you can literally use the top power menu instead, if you remove TicSystem)
Here is a step by step instructional tutorial:
1.) Enable Developer Options

2.) Disable All Animations (you can enable those again later)
---
3.) Enable ADB Debugging
---
4.) Hook your Watch up to your computer with ADB and all that stuff (I really do not want to go in depth on how to hook up your watch to your PC, You can google that)
---
5.) Type "adb devices" to connect your watch and start daemon
---
6.) Type "adb shell cmd overlay list"
---
7.) If there is a com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home (or something containing the same words in a different order) continue with this guide. If there is not, leave this guide
---
8.) Type "adb shell cmd overlay disable com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home"
(or however else your overlay is called)
---
9.) Type "adb reboot"
to reboot the watch
---
OPTIONAL 10. Enable animations again)
---
That is it, the watch now runs very much faster without any usability difference. To be honest, I am still not exactly sure why it works, but it works.
I have been doing a lot of testing and I just can not find anything that went wrong when I disabled it. There simply seems to be nothing. Everything works.
If some issue does come up, please let me know. Also, if there is an issue, you can just reproduce all the steps here, but replace the command in step #8 with "adb shell cmd overlay enable com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home"
(Also, if any other fellow android developers are reading this, please help me understand why in the world uninstalling the package itself slows the watch down again. I have been scratching my head at this for a while now. Maybe it is placebo?)
(Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your watch. Even if this is unlikely to cause any damage, you are responsible for anything that might happen)
I don't have those mobvoi overlay, only google's
Code:
com.google.android.gms
[x] com.google.android.wearable.overlay.gms
com.google.android.wearable.app
[x] com.google.android.wearable.overlay.home
I don't feel lag actually since the first I use ticwatch E, of course after disable most system app. The latest change only to disable ticsystem which render the battery life longer, approx 20%.
You most likely just disabled the Jupiter home app. This guide is directed at people, who do not want to get rid of the whole Mobvoi experience, but still want a faster watch
I only disabled these
com.mobvoi.companion.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.account.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.fitness.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.health.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.heartrate.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.social.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.system.aw
It seems the jupiter home app only available in ticwatch pro, not in my ticwatch e.
Thanks for the sharing.
with your method. i lost esential mode
Clarification
I am just adding an update here.
There is no correlation between essential mode and the Jupiter app. The person who said this was simply making it up.
Thank you.

Confirmed.
I can't seem to find mobvoi overlay on my ticwatch S
In something unrelated, I wanted to ask if anyone could share the latest ticpulse apk, as my one doesn't update through the play store anymore
I've deleted all from com.mobvoi packages, and lost essential mode/second screen with always on display on TicWatch PRO3. Anyone konw how's called a packgage which controls essential/second screen.
Thanks
Tried on Ticwatch pro 3 GPS - significant change in responsiveness! Thank you
On my Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS there is no option to switch on ADB over WiFi.....only via Bluetooth.
Where did you find it?

First enable developer options. Then you should see.
Developer options are enabled in settings/system/information/build version. You have to tap on build version 5 times or more.
I know and I did it. But there is no option for this.....
There only is a switch for ADB-Debugging and another for Debugging over bluetooth.
Thats weird. Never the less, why don't you try to do it via bluetooth?
How to do this?

did you use the charger cable to run the commands via pc or over wifi? because when i do that my pc only charges the watch , i can't see it under adb devices. thanks.
Thanks man, definitely faster now
Good find, but this doesnt need dev options nor ADB. Goto Settings > Apps and Notifications > App Info > System Apps; find com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home and disable it there.

After disabling com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home via adb, a restart resulted in it enabled again. Maybe i did something wrong this way?
Following quoted method was permanent after restart.
