Hi, hopefully it's a good place for this thread.
does anyone consider to assign camera to one of the hardware buttons? For example, when I press twice menu/home button I can launch a camera.it could be nice when I have a wet hands still able to open a camera (physical buttons) and take a picture via volume buttons. Does anyone know any apk which can by useful to do that?

I'd actually like to do a similar thing by making the notification bar slide down. I was thinking a long hold of the back key.
Edit: I've already found an app on play to roll it down. I just need a way to launch it.

It works for any 4.2.2 Touchwiz based ROM so you should be fine. It works great on my I537, so I don't think you should have any problems.

I have it with my S4 and can find and download the Gear Manager in Samsung APPS. Search for Gear and find "Samsung GALAXY Gear Manager".
Not everything working but ok.

I'm using Gear with my Galasy S4 and already when i was on 4.2.2 i found Gear manager at Samsung Apps.but now with leaked firmware 4.3 all works like a charm.
[Gear with Galaxy S4 or Any Galaxy Series] ... First of all, Galaxy Gear will only works with Galaxy (with Android 4.3), but at the moment they are with Android 4.2.2, so ... you will check out the apps for Gear and your Galaxy HERE below :

You will find all the apps (at the moment), and the main app to connect your Device with Gear is ... GEAR Manager (you need to download this first.

It works but not everything. S VOICE, weather, txt and email alert doesn't work on me using a 4.2.2 rom.

Not that I notice anything monumental on saving juice. Maybe, there would be a significant change once my S4 is on 4.3 JB cuz I know I can check notifications, use S-voice as it's meant to be and what not so less time unlocking the phone and screen usage... although phone's BT is running all the time so Gear could remain tethered to it but i believe it's BT 4.0 LE*, right?
*LE, Low Energy... though am not sure it's got a real world impact or just a marketing scheme...

Alright, so I have been tinkering with my watch and have a few questions. I have rooted my watch and installed busy box, and all is going well so far. Additionally, I am using my watch with my S4, rather than my Note 3. I wanted this topic to be more of a few questions and general discussion/clarification.
I have installed the newest Gear Manager and when I go to Weather on the watch I get "Add city to weather widget on mobile device" but it never seems to sync. I have added a location to the weather widget. Is this by chance just a feature thats not quite working on the S4 yet, or am I missing something?
Pedometer - When I try to send my steps to SHealth it fails to sync. Also, known S4 issue, or missing something?
Gear Manager - Unable to install apps - When I navigate to My Apps > Featured > MyFitnessPal for Samsung Galaxy Gear (or any other app), I select Install, and I get "Product does not exist in this store(4002)". Im guessing this is because the Samsung store is reading my S4 build.prop and determining there are no compatible apps.
In re the last topic, could someone send me the APK from their watch for this app, Ill side load it.
I am at the office and want to install some apps via ADB, but don't have my cradle handy. Is there any way to get an APK to the watch that anyone can think of?
I am working on recompiling the stock camera app that does not have the shutter sound. Ill share when I get it done.
Update: Here is a thread with all of the APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468522

I got every thing working on my gs4, including svoice, text notification, and weather by using the 4.3 rom. I also downloaded the latest gear manager from a post in this forum and ot seems to work great, including allowing me to download apps from samsung.
Gear is rooted, running smart launcher, a few games, camera silent hack, and everything is still working.

I have a Galaxy S4 but would love to not have this TW Rom anymore and move to Cyanogen or something. So....it's still not possible to have all the features working on the Gear if I move from TW? I really want to keep my watch stock.

Correct. Although wether watch is stock or not makes no difference
yeah, could you elaborate ? I got a replacement phone (a xperia sp) which is up to date. So I think that it should be quite similar to your z1. I'm on 4.3 too. How did you get it work ? I only managed to have a full connection with v1.6.111801 of gear manager, and still notifications weren't working.
How did you do with latest gear manager ? I tried by installing only, or everything... and can't get it connecting to the gear. Just stays on first screen "connecting to gear..."
Any help ?
I'm interested to know as well.. I'm looking at getting the Z2 and would love it to work with my Gear
great

Launcher has nothing to do with gear manager, touchwiz framework is necessary although in this topic people are saying the new update is less dependant on touchwiz.. you can use any launcher you want it has nothing to do with the files needed to run gear manager..

You definitely don't need a Samsung phone to have the phone work with the Gear. I've had my Gear running with a Moto E and a Moto G - neither of them were rooted or modded in any way. I just installed the latest Gear Manager from a link on here after updating my Gear to Tizen. It's worth mentioning that I was running an old version of Gear Manager originally and my battery wouldn't even last half a day. Since I installed the latest version I'm getting days of use out of it -- having activated only Tweeting, Hangouts, WhatsApp and Gmail for notifications and turned off the auto activate backlight feature. It's four days since I charged and I'm still on 72%
None of the Samsung apps show up on the phone if it isn't Touchwiz based - so there's no S-Voice or Weather. I can use the Bluetooth Trusted Device feature on my Moto to have my phone turn PIN off when my Gear is connected to it.

Yes. I do it all the time. The only difference between doing it on a non Touchwiz phone compared with a Touchwiz phone is that the phone sees it as a handsfree device so will answer on the Gear by default, even if you hit the answer button on the phone. You just need to tap the little icon next to the 'End Call' button on the Gear though and it will route the call back to the handset. You can also tap the bluetooth icon on the dialer and switch the source to earpiece or speakerphone. Bit of an annoyance but not a particular problem.

Working for Me!
Sorry, I'm a bit late to this thread. I have the Galaxy S4 and I can't guarantee it will work for the Note 3, but I was experiencing this same issue and was able to fix it by simply checking the "open via the home key" in S-Voice. Hope this helps someone else experiencing issues. :laugh:
Wow! This waa driving me insane. I had it working perfectly on my Note 2 ans when I set up my Note 4 I had the recent apps list showing when I double tapped the home key. Then I started checking out rhe device and out of nowhere, the double tap stopped working. I can't tell you how much time I've spent on it. I eveb sat there with my Note 2 and compared every single setting and they were identical to one another. The second I read your response I literally face palmed myself. I vividly remember unchecking the box as I waa going through the settings because I wasn't using it anyway and it was around the same time it stopped working. It goes without saying that it was tbe issue. I suppose it needs to be set in order to be manipulated by GB. Sorry for the long post but I'm thrilled to have it working and wanted you to know you helped.

Man i registered on this forum only to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! That's genious, i would never ever remember i turned this feature off in S Voice on my Galaxy Note 3 SM9005 and that it can affect doubletap. BTW the other program PBMC (Physical Button Music Control) can override it but it has ugly delay for every Menu keypress option
Since getting my Neo, I've noticed that my
Phone frequently opens to the calls log screen.
Whether I open the S-View cover, or press the
Home button, the screen will more often than not
Open to the logs...
Another press of the home key send it back to the
Correct home screen, but the only change to my
System had been adding the Neo...
I am using an i337, (S4) with Golden Eye 27, and Nova prime launcher,

There is a fix to it?

I've gone through the Gear Manager menu several times, but just can't find it!
I have a Galaxy S4 i337 using GE 27 rom (right now) and maybe my version of Gear Manager is different?
