"Work In Progress, Need to add in Screenshots, And possibly more tutorials - Enjoy"
No Support Via PM - Please stop with the PM. They will now be ignored!
Well after creating my last tutorial, much has changed, wonderful new things have come about. So I thought it was time to create a new tutorial covering the new things.
So after now I have read 1000+ of pages and posts, hopeful this will help cut down on your searches. BUT read the whole tutorial before you ask questions. There are fare to many people that ask questions that are usually covered in the OP (Original Post) of threads. Please be respectful of the Developers Time and not ask dumb questions that have the answer posted.
Things you will need before you continue reading:
Ability to understand what you read
Time and Patients
How to use Google Search
Time and Patients
A brain
Ability be patient with all of us.
Give Credit where credit is due
Lastly Understand that Nobody is responsible for what you do to your gear, except you. And using the guide below will void your warranty
Now that is covered lets continue.
First get and install Wondershare MobileGo for Andoid this will make life easier. (Google it - Link removed by the request of xda)
(If your to cheap to get this great software, why did you pay so much for a watch?)

Update your gear to V700XXUAMK7 Firmware:
Update your gear to V700XXUAMK7 Firmware: (Skip if your already on MK7)
Thanks to almulder1092 for the info
Make sure your gear is running V700XXUAMK7 Firmware, (If you are, you can skip this section.)
Note:If your in the USA and there is no update yet, just download the UK Version (BTU - United Kingdom)
Let update our Galaxy Gears firmware. (A must in you want to do anything below)
Note: This could wipe you data, save anything you need just incase.
Preparation:
Download V700XXUAMK7 Firmware from here - Thanks to AdamLange
Download Odin from here - Thanks to daerragh (Get version 3.09)
Installation:
Put your Gear into Download Mode
a. Press and hold the power button until the Restarting appears
b. Repeatedly press the power button until the Select REBOOT MODE appears
c. Press the power button once to move the selection to Download
d. Press and hold the power button for about 3 sec.
e. You are now in download mode.
Connect your Gear to you PC. (Using the Cradle and Micro USB)
Open Odin
Click on the PDA Button
Locate the V700XXUAMK7 Firmware and select it. (It should be a .md5 file, if it is zipped, then unzip it)
Press Start
Once it is completed it will reboot the gear.
Note: Let your gear sit for a bit as it updates everything. I might look like it is stuck on the Samsung logo, but you should see the word Samsung pulsating. That means its working. Should it take more than 5 mins, simply Press and hold the power button down until it resets.
Note: Should you get the dreaded screen of death, just flash the MK7 ROM back onto your gear and start all over.
Screen of Death (LOL)
Make sure the Gear is activated and connected to your Phone. (Samsung Manual)
How To:
If your unsure how to do this, Return your Gear. (LOL)

Null Quote:
If you find the recovery is not sticking & your Gear wipes when attempting to access recovery after flashing, you must root your Gear prior to installing TWRP again & Run the following commands in ADB:
*NOTE* You will gave to accept a supersuser request popup when executing "SU" command
*NOTE 2* Probably a good idea to run this prior to first installation (To save time)
Code:
$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system
# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge
If needed "ADB" can be found here on xda - Thanks to shimp208

Note: Please be considerate of other peoples time and take the time to read and search for your question before asking it. 98 times out of 100 it has already been answered many times. Let fOmey do what he does best and work on Null_ don't keep asking him questions that are answered in the Original Post.

Watch Styler OR UCCW?
This is a matter of opinion I like to use UCCW as it is more customizable. However if all your looking for is a Watch Face only, then my all means get watch styler. Both would be widgets to add to Nova home screens.
Need so Ideas, check out this thread - Thanks to Kakann for starting the thread
Watch Styler:
How to:
On your Phone, Install Watch Styler through the Gear Manger >> Samsung Store. (You may need to hit accept on your Gear to install it)
On your Phone, Open Watch Styler, select or create a new face.
Apply the selected Watch face
In Gear Manager goto >> Clocks
Select WatchStyler
Then select the settings icon.
Select the Watch Face you want again
Apply the theme. (The Applied theme should reflect the new selection
On your Gear, On Nova desktop press and hold

How to install APK’s to your gear. Without Wondershare
How to install APK’s to your gear Without Wondershare
Thanks to almulder1092 for the info
This is for anyone looking for an alternative way of getting apps onto the gear.
These instructions work for people who have a Windows/Mac/Linux.
Download fastboot. - DropBox - Zippyshare
Unzip fastboot the root of your drive (You can delete it later when done, or advanced users can unzip it anywhere)
Make sure your Gear is in USB Debug mode
If you’re using Mac or Linux, You can skip this step. If your using windows, make sure you have installed the Samsung USB Drivers.
Plug your Gear into your PC
Now open up a Command Prompt (Terminal window for Mac/Linux) (Google it if you’re unsure how)
.
Type in the following:
For Windows:
cd\
.
cd fastboot
.
adb devices
For Mac:
cd\
cd fastboot
chmod 755 *
./adb-mac devices
For Linux
cd\
cd fastboot
chmod 755 *
./adb-linux devices
Look at your gear, there should be a prompt. Press OK. (If you have connect before using USB this might not appear on the gear, just go to the next step))
If it does not come up, then we will need to kill the process adb.exe running and try launching it from the command prompt again.
Windows:
Open Task Manager, Locate adb.exe and end the task.
Mac/Linux:
Type in the command:
kill adb
Now type in the following:
Windows:
adb devices
Mac:
./adb-mac devices
Linux:
./adb-linux devices
Looking at the Command windows (Terminal window) You should see device. (If you do – GREAT, else go back and try again)
.
Move you apk file you want to install to the fastboot directory
Use the following command to install your apk file:
Windows:
adb install nameoffile.apk
.
Mac:
./adb-mac install nameoffile.apk
Linux:
./adb-linux install nameoffile.apk
Once installed the app should appear on your gear under the apps section.
Noticed AshtonTS had also posted Mac guide so I am linking to it here incase others need it.
Full System UI? Get back DBL tap settings for quick Volume and Brightness
Full System UI? Get back DBL tap settings for quick Volume and Brightness
thanks to fOmey for the info.
If you have installed full system ui, then you might have noticed that a dbl finger dbl tap does not bring up you quick settings anymore. Not current;y there is no way to get that exact view back, as it has been replaced. fOmey has looked into extracting it out, but does not look like i can be done.
But never fear a solution is here.
Option 1)
Put Nova Launcher Prime on your gear so you have access to the Gestures and edit the dbl tap option
Option 2)
Create a shortcut.
What ever option you chose the result will be that same in the end.
How to:
Be sure you have Xposed & GravityBox installed and Activated. (See post #8)
Open up GravityBox
Goto >> Statusbar Tweaks >> QuickSettings Managment >> Statusbar QuickSettings Tiles
Then Select the following
Volume
Ringer Mode
Bluetooth
Brightness
Battery Status
And any other quick options you want.
Now go back to your desktop
press and hold to bring up options
Select Nova Actions >> Expand Quick Settings
You should now have an Icon on your desktop that when pressed will open up Quick Settings for you.
Note: If you have Nova Prime, and want to use a gesture, just select the gesture and then Select Nova Actions >> Expand Quick Settings
Note: You can go back into GraveBox and resort the tiles to your liking. (Along with many other options.

NotiCounter is just as the title suggests. Its a Widget that you can customize and have notification counts show on your gear screen. And it includes custom sounds.
Preparation.
If you have a previous version be sure to uninstall it before installing the new version.
Download NotiCounter Widget from here
Installation
Install NotiCounterWidget
Reboot Your Gear (Must Reboot after install)
Once rebooted go into Gear Settings >> Sound >> Notifications
Select NotiSilent (If it is not in your list, Did you reboot?) This is simply a blank sound file. this needs to be selected to avoid multiple notifications sounds (Note: Skip this step if you Don't plan to use the sound features in Noti.)
Now to avoid the repeated notification that Noti has been granted SU permissions, lets disable that message.
Open Super SU
Press the # next to NotiCouonter Widget
On the Notifications "Global Default" change that to read Disabled. This will stop the notifications from comming on everytime your screen turns on.
Open NotiCounter Widget app
Read the Pop up box.
Wait for SU permissions to kick in and the give the app SU permissions.
.
Play Sound? Check this box if you want to have a sound play when a notification comes in. (Be sure you did step 4 if you select this)
You can leave the sound file at default or Select a different one. (Click on Choose File)
Once you Select Choose File you will be give a list of sounds that have been included with Noti app.
Select any file and you will hear a preview of the sound file.
If you want to use your own personal sound files, go up one directory and the select Notifications folder. (See previous tutorials for adding custom sound files)
Once you have selected your sound file you want, then click Set
.
Custom Sounds? Check this box if you want to have custom sounds play according to the app .
Select Add Apps
You will be presented with a list of all apps that are set to send notifications to your gear.
Select any app you want a custom sound for
Select the sound file just as you could have above.
Once Selected you will see a Toast message box appear at the bottom letting you know it has been set.
Continue to add any other Custom Apps sounds you want to use.
Once your done got back to main Noti Screen.
If you made a mistake on one of the apps, select Edit List
You will be presented with a list of all the apps selected. Press and hold to edit anyone of them
You will have the option to Change, Abort, Delete.
Once done go back to main Noti Screen
.
Launch Notifications app on tap? Just as it says, Do you want to open the notifications screen when taping on the widget?
Text Size - you can change the text size to larger or small according to your needs
Color - This will alow you to change the color of the text using the sliders as needed.
Widget Background (Ellipse, Round, Transparent, Custom)
Custom Background - Selecting this will allow you to have a custom background
Select your background similar to how you selected a sound. when selecting a pic you will see a preview of it for a few seconds.
Blank spot at 0 unread Notifications? Basically do you want to see a number 0 or nothing at all when there are no notifications?
Power-saving Mode? Normal, Medium Saver, Power Saver. - Normal will give your a more stock feel for the Gear (I prefer Normal)
Normal - Checks for activity in the notifications app, if it´s running it does badge checks with a certain intervall.
Medium Saver - Checks for activity in the notifications app, if it´s running it does badge checks with a certain intervall. When Notifications hit 0 it stops the checks
Power Saver - Only checks Once upon screen On, then nothing.
Restore all Data - This will remove the sound files that Nofi install. If you want to remove Noti you might want to press this button first.
Now that you have your settings Press Save
Now place the widget like you would any other widget.
you will see two options for your widget. Normal and Bold. that is in reference to the Text number. (I prefer Bold)
Check out your new Noti widget.
(Reserved 19) Future Tutorial
I did some research and found a way to make the quick settings tiles disappear on the lock screen. Note that your device needs to be rooted using either SuperSu or Magisk.
The first thing you have to do is download Tasker.
On the Tasker app, make a new profile
Event --> Display --> Display Off
Now make a task, we will name this task "Hide Tiles"
New Task --> Code --> Run Shell
Now important, if you're rooted with SuperSu then use the first code, if you're rooted with Magisk then use the second one.
First code is (without quotes): "settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles 0"
Second code is (WITH quotes): /sbin/su -c "settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles 0"
This is the profile that will hide the tiles when the phone is locked, now we need a profile where it shows them after the password/fingerprint is used on the phone.
Go ahead and create a new profile
Event --> Display --> Display Unlocked
Now make a task, we will name it "Show Tiles"
(SuperSu uses the first code, Magisk uses the second one)
New Task --> Code --> Run Shell
First code (without quotes): "settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles wifi,cell,location,dnd,rotation,bt,battery,flashlight,hotspot,airplane,inversion,saver,cast"
(From the screenshot you will learn which name refers to which tile, you can then add/remove/reorder them however you want)
Second code (WITH quotes): /sbin/su -c "settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles wifi,cell,location,dnd,rotation,bt,battery,flashlight,hotspot,airplane,inversion,saver,cast"
If these codes don't work with Tasker, you can use them in Secure Settings but instead of (New Task --> Code --> Run Shell) you have to do (New Task --> Plugin --> Secure Settings --> Configuration --> Action --> Run Command)
The code you'll have to use is the one we used for Supersu (it will work for both Magisk and SuperSu users) but make sure you check the USE ROOT box)
I have tried this on a Nexus 5X running Oreo 8.1 OPM3 and it works every single time.
Let me know if you have tried this on your phone so we'd know which devices it works on. Thank you!
nice, but too bad it crashes on miui based roms
Worked with Secure Settings an Oneplus 3t, Skydragon-Rom.
Thank you! :good:
There are some Quicksettings i don't know the name to let it show after unlock. Can anybody help me?
The tiles from the first picture would be great to know the correct name.
This is very interesting, thanks for the question.
