I'm just looking for some advice about some good Note 3 ROMS (Canada) that will work well with the Galaxy Gear (such as native Bluetooth tethering). I also want to keep the Note and SPEN functionality. Thought it would be good to put this here to see what you guys and girls are using that works well with your Gear.

Darthstalker v4 and Dragonsair both are working well for me and meet what you are looking for. Dragonsair does not support the Samsung Apps Store though since it is an International ROM. I had to push the Gear Manager app to my phone manually.
I suggest making a CWM package of the gear needed files.
That way no matter what rom I flash, I flash my gear package afterwards and I know its compatible with it. Very easy.

Hey everyone:
I have been installing and uninstalling lots of apps and widgets to determine what works on the Galaxy Gear Smartwatch. I've got my Gear Null Rom'med and connected to a Galaxy Note 1 Phone. Since I am not giving up my Note 1, the Galaxy Gear looked to be my only choice thanks to the work of the NULL ROM developer. Mostly everything on the Gear works-- except notifications, weather, and third-party contact apps. I'm looking forward to the SMS developments going on in another thread. My partner also has the same phone and Gear, so I've got two mouths to feed!
Otherwise, these are the best apps for the Gear 1 that I have found so far. I am learning some new stuff too, so there may be a part two in the near future.
Please comment, looking forward to your feedback, and I salute all of the developers who are continuing to hack the Gear device. Thanks guys!

great list - i use voice translate as well on mine and another one that's a big help when travelling is Word Lens - lets you translate signs by using the camera snd brst of all it does so without the need to tether (caveat - cost $4.99)

Great to see another Torontonian using the same watch/phone combo that I am! What a fantastic and informative video as well...I can't wait to get home and try out that remote media controller as I have my note automatically connect to a decent set of Bluetooth speakers when I walk in the door. It'll be really cool to control the music from anywhere in the house..
I noticed that you are using a stock touchwizz ROM on your note. What version of gear manager are you using and with what degree of effectiveness? I am using an AOKP kitkat ROM on my note that I absolutely love and don't think I could tear myself from but I may just nandroid and try stock if you tell me that there is greater functionality..
Great video! Nicely edited and covers a lot of mysterious capabilities n features that aren't immediately obvious to beginners-including myself. Nicely done!
PS: Love Google Goggles and Price Rythem for instant product information, nutritional facts, reviews, current pricing! Either scan the bar code or take a picture of the item, and your done!
Runner up would be Pie Controls to quicky access your favorite apps. from your watch face.

Hey fellow Torontonian! Does the KitKat ROM on your Note 1 allow you to keep the S Pen features?
I can only get to Gear Manager 1.2 and basically none of the notifications work-- the Gear Manager is only able to open the Contact app on the phone. The Gear's camera app does transfer photos to the phone automatically. Nothing else works in Gear Manager. I can't give up S Note on the phone, so it hasn't been rooted since Samsung released a JB update a year ago. I wish that SMS and email notifications could work but--- but there's not really any other smartwatch that will work with the Note 1 so I accept these compromises.
So my dad is thinking about taking my S6 Edge over for me - however I am not sure how to get his Galaxy Gear to sync up with it. Can anyone please let me know what to download to get it to run? I believe it's still running Android.
Hey. He may have to update the Gear to Tizen then just use the Galaxy Apps to download the Gear Manager. That's what I did and all is running smooth.

Interesting! I tried to pair it this morning and it looked like it would work as is - (didn't pair because it would erase watch to factory settings). He swore up and down that it wouldn't work with anything newer than his S4.
Appreciate it!
I have been thinking about buying the Gear VR for my Note 4. I figure I'd ask what the requirements for it are before buying it? Do I need a certain base to use it? I am on the Vzw NI1 stock unrooted retail version. If there is anything else I should know before purchasing one, please let me know. Thank you.
Nobody on a Vzw Note 4 has Gear VR?
I know when the Note 4 first came out, it needed an update on Kit Kat at a minimum to get Gear Vr working. Does it currently need the latest Lollipop to be compatible with Gear or is that initial KK update enough?

afaik you dont need Lolipop to use the Gear VR but the Netflix app will not work
to be sure if your current rom version supports it you could try the following:

Sweet, thanks man. I don't have a Netflix account so I hope KK is enough. I just got to decide if I want the Gear VR or not. Would you say it is worth it?

As you already have the compatible mobile, if you get one for 100$ (as it is sold now at this price) i would recommend it!
It is not finished enough to call it consumer ready for the mainstream but its definitely one of the best VR experiences up to date. :cyclops:

The 'not finished enough' part is stopping me from buying it right now. I know it has some flaws, but wouldn't some company, maybe not samsung, fix those issues in the future? I'm just afraid I'll drop $100 for the Gear VR then a way better vr headset comes out later from someone else.
It works just fine on my Verizon phone. However ... I'm not at all happy with the image quality overall. See separate thread. I think I'm going to sell it and just wait for the Rift.

Please don't expect too much improvement in image quality when switching to the Rift. The Rift will have a lower (or nearly equal) resolution as the current Gear VR. The lenses will be better but this will not improve the pixel size or density. What the Rift will improve are the overall possible graphic richness as it is run on a pc with a GPU that outperforms any mobile system.
You will have to wait for next generation HMDs to get a better image quality.
If this was more polished, I probably would've bought it without hesitation. Feels like I should wait for an 8k display phone or something before fully going into VR. Also, I'm not too sure if I'll stay with my Note 4 now. Playing with the Note 5 now and I feel tempted to switch. Thanks for your help guys.
hey everyone, Just received a samsung galaxy gear smart watch and understand they are not naturally compatible but if anyone knows a work around to get most features to work. I like the style of it being just a plain watch but would love to use it to its fullest. Thanks for any help I get.
Someone has to know something. Still have yet to get gear manager to even install. Every single link on this forum crashes when I open it.
how about NULL?

Hello!
there any way that works for using the Samsung Galaxy Gear SM-V700 with a mobile phone "Not Samsung"?
Gear 2 are a google market aplication, but don't Works on Gear 1
Thank you!
I see that people have successfully altered the gear vr consumer edition to work with the Note 4. This is wonderful.
But, I'm wondering, has anyone altered the usb plug so that you plug your usb cable in from your pc to the gear vr?
Yes, it would require some Dremel work, but the benefit would be having a decent vr experience while using trinus vr and tridef 3d with all your favourite pc games.
Considering the gear vr price right now (cheap), its similar to the freefly (google cardboard vr's) that let you plug into your pc while you use it.
Has anyone tried this? I'll let you know if I give it a go. Optimally, you could either plug your phone into the gear, or your pc cable (both options).
I am interested too!
Thought about just replacing the old original plug with a new one. But I guess the oculus store app doesn't start anymore then. Is there a way to start this app manually?
I agree this thread is awesome and it is something that will make some xda dev famous. I molded a consumer gear vr to fit the note 4 and it has been great. I want to play oculus dk games and apps as well as other pc games. If there were 2 things I really want to further the gear mods and make it awesome it is this mod and a way to make all android games vr I really want to play dead trigger 2 in VR unfortunately I have an att note 4 sm-n910a running 5.1.1 so no root so I can't use the new sbs android
Not tried tints yet but doesn't it work over wifi

Which att note? SGH-i717 (quincyatt)?
use package disabler pro to disable the samsung gear vr service. this will prevent the occulus app from launching. if you enabled dev mode on the vr before you disable the gear vr service you will be able to use it with low persistence. all of this can be done without root. tested it on my s7 with trinusvr trial
If you have a consumer vr can it be done the same way.

Sorry note 4 sm-n910a 5.1.1
I do have dev mode and the disabler app, didn't think to go dev mode first or use the low latency. My question is, is that enough? Enough to warrent not mod ding the usb from a charger to a full blown vr input? Is it that good or even good enough? I honestly think this mod would be a god send and whoever mods it considered a god. I heard they brought up doing it to oculus and it was denied. They didn't want mobile at a value to compete with a pc platform that would go for your wallet. On the other spectrum I also wouldn't mind being able to even simply use it as intended to charge my note 4 while playing vr. That would be nice too:good:
Oh yea one more thing is Intugame woth trying or should I just stick with trinus?
This looks promising

Yes, but way too buggy at the moment. Try Stream Theater for Steam (and non steam) games, works via Moonlight.
