Is it possible to port Android Wear 2.0 from emulator image to a G Watch? A developer ported the ZenWatch 2 system to the Gear 2 Neo so it might be possible to port from LG Watch Urbane 2 LTE, remove all features that are not compatible (SIM, WiFi, etc...) and make a ROM for G Watch. Anyone with experience here?
Developer ab123321 has ported Android Wear 2.0 from the LG G Watch R to Dory: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72738902&postcount=342
This thread is now discussion about Wear 2.0

This is definitely doable, just not sure how things work exactly with the watches as far as partitions go. Maybe some of the previous ROM devs on here can help out with that bit, I am new to supporting wear devices. If we can get the blobs ironed out it should be pretty easy, we should have part of a device tree from TWRP.
@DespairFactor Hi, nice to see you around here!
Do you have the G Watch? I can provide anything you need. I have 6.0.1 Wear, root (read only /system) and TWRP 3.0.2-0. Let's just wait for a square watch to receive N preview, or maybe port from emulator image? Most people believe the G Watch will not get updated due to not having a crown button, a crown button is crucial for Android Wear since it now acts as a back function, instead of the traditional swipe to left. Also the G Watch has now 3 major OS versions (KK, LP, MM) so it's not a surprise Google abandon it now, following Nexus update cycle. The watch is incredibly useful even after the years. @invisiblek made a very good kernel for G Watch, maybe he can help. As far as the partitions go, I will reply later with a command output.
Also I can make a little app to perform a back command using swipe to left gesture like most Android Wear unofficial launchers do

See my previous answer.
Here is everything about partitions: https://gist.github.com/KonradIT/e2372ac3d74e671a3e98e8d3ecb93676
System dump: (adb pulling, will upload later)
About porting from an emulator image, are there cases of stable ports from Android emulator? I have a square android wear 280x280 cloned G Watch emulator instance running Android Wear N, I can also upload it.
Google released N Wear Developer Preview for the Huawei Watch and LG G Watch Urbane 2gen LTE, both round watches. For the G watch, a square watch is needed. Google will probably release a developer image for Asus ZenWatch 2 or Sony Smartwatch 3 (or even Samsung Gear Live??) down the road. The Asus ZenWatch 1 also does not have a crown, making it less likely to receive Android Wear 2.0 N.
G Watch and ZenWatch 2 have pretty similar specs (same SoC, same graphics module, same RAM, same internal storage space):
G Watch: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g_watch_w100-7718.php
ZenWatch 2: http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenwatch_2_wi501q-7689.php
(G watch does not have a speaker btw, ZenWatch 2 does!)
Regarding TWRP, build here (it works wonders): http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-w...recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2827887
I personally love my G Watch a lot, looks like I'm not upgrading this year!

They generally will not expand the preview to other devices, they don't ever do it. Also, the OS likely has the images and stuff for the square devices in case others want to port it. I can see Sony doing it themselves and releasing it, but not ASUS. Regardless, I would need to pull apart the G watch system dump for vendor files and to rip apart the developer preview images to see what we can do with it. Chances are it'll take quite a bit of work, so I would be open to having others jump in to help out. Perhaps this should turn into a github org/hangouts chat.

Do you have the G Watch? I forgot my cradle and I am pushing the image via bluetooth, so it will take some hours. Any other partition you need? My emulator image is x86, download armeabi v7 now! (https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/android-wear/sysimg_wear_armeabi-v7a-N_r01.zip if anyone needs it)

Cool, here is a folder with everything: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-CbH9Yv1OUWM2tHdGRtdkliSkE&usp=sharing
/armeabi-v7a are the Android Wear N emulator files
/G_Watch_port_armeabiv7.avd is a folder with settings from emulator which is similar to G Watch in terms of specs
/G_Watch_port_armeabiv7.ini is a file for emulator
/system_g_watch_mm.img is a system dump from G Watch with the latest Wear OS (MM)
So, what is left to start porting?
Gonna try my skills over there. Let's see what we can get with our lovely G Watch. @konradit there's as much info/files as we need I think. I'm starting porting this weekend.

Are the files useful? I am doing the swipe left to back app too.

Okay, I will. No problem
you made my day if you can port it
I am hoping the LG G watch can be compatible with Android Wear 2.0.

Well that's awesome. We all have opinions and are allowed to have them. Why wouldn't they include it? Because of one review that says something about a button? All software companies deny any info about updates, so nothing to see here.

Any update on this?
Hi at all,
last time I've been looking for alternatives of the official pokemon go plus product (it's a hardware ball to catch the pokemon more easy). I found inofficial products called "go-tcha". It's a bracelet which is connected with bluetooth to your smartphone like the original one.
This product works (on my opinion) on a simple xiamo mi band 1,2,3,4. So why this software could not work on a more powerful device like the stratos watch?
Is there any developer who want to create a new project or having a solution to creative such a software/apk (not the game itself) for our smartwatches to safe the hardware-money from the pokeball/bracelet?
Maybe this will help?

Not possible.
I actually tried to get emulation of a Gotcha / Go Plus working on the Stratos, but Android doesn't support the required mimicing of the UUIDs for BLE to work. Even if it did, there's no way to generate an official UUID like the Gotchas have, as they've never disclosed how they do it.

What about tweaking the game app too?

Native code. Also PoGo uses SafetyNet pretty heavily so it probably wouldn't like even messing with the Java
I am not a developer but how the producer of brook- and gotcha did it? they aren't an official part of pokemon.

I already said, they've never disclosed their method.
The 'Gotcha' devices they have access to the low level firmware, they don't run Android, so they can emulate whatever they want.
