International Firmware Beta [V1.3] (Optimus2, Prime2, LEM12Pro, LEM14, LEM15)

The translations are currently more or less ‘practical’, we might try to improve the quality in the future.
As for the other notes, it would be helpful if you could provide screenshots/photos of the mentioned problems.

So it can be done from Factory rom?

How you do it?

The ota update procedure is explained here:

Ok but i followed steps. 1) Install from stock v1.0. Then factory reset. Then install file.zip (v1.2-b2) from internal storage. Doesn’t works for me.

I did it from factory rom to v1.2-b2 through ota, but it gets error too.

i’m doing something wrong?

Like i previously stated:

  • LEM15-V1.0 is identical to LEM15-V1.2-B2.
  • LEM15-V1.2-B2 was replaced on the original post if you still wish to upgrade.

Edit:

If you are on the original firmware:

  • Z36_LEM15_V1.2

You can upgrade to:

  • FAW-LEM15-V1.0

And then upgrade again to:

  • FAW-LEM15-V1.2-B2

Well, it is called beta for a reason, if in doubt you should do a factory reset.
You can try to zip the clockskin folder locally with a archiver app.

In my case, a factory reset solve this problem, but I need to reinstall/configure all my apps! :confused:

Thank you none. It works with updated file.

Here is the small problem reported in the launcher, some applications such as gmail for example show a notification with part of the text in dark gray.

BETA 1
For an incoming call, it takes up to 6 seconds for the watch to display the caller’s name. the list is in the watch, not on the SIM.

Memory usage is going to be extreme using 100 faces when it comes to the launcher indexing them or refreshing them.
All the tiny images and xml files involved in that amount of faces… Personally I would never have more than 20 faces in the clockskin folder…

So this is most likely why we don’t have this problem.

Did you factory reset after updating?

No, I did not install this system from the original one. Just update. I just restarted. According to your colleague, the factory setting is not necessary for FAW …

I think it is a matter of perspective…
When you are beta testing you have to understand that there is an extremely high chance of needing to factory reset.

I think I have mentioned it before…
Beta testing by nature, is looking for bugs and how to fix them.

Being a beta tester involves being ready to reset your watch and use logcat to report issues.

This is the way it works and that is why it is a personal choice to get involved…
Rather than us saying that you should.

I understand that, I’m not resisting the factory settings. I just understood that it is not necessary

Hi all,
Here is a small annoying behaviour of FAW B2 that I found (not sure if present in stock firmware):

  • When turning off the Airplane mode via FAW launcher, it take up to 15 sec for the cellular icon to turn on (why is it so long, my Android phone take less than 4 sec?). If the cellular icon is pressed during this delay, we get the message “Insert a SIM card” even if a SIM card is present.
  • If the Airplane mode is turn off via task bar, the cellular icon turn on immediately, turn off after 2 sec and turn on after 15 sec. We don’t get the “Insert a SIM card” message via the task bar.

I forgot to mention that my watch and phone use the same 4G network, so they should have the same connection time…

It takes longer to initialize because the modem will be disabled if no sim card is detected or if you enable flight mode, which is different to most smartphones that keep the modem active all the time.
So that is working as intended.

I see the LEM14 in the title but which firmware should I use since LEM14 is not listed in the file area? thank you!
