Database Develop

[APP] Gear Getter - based off Pebble Notifier - v1.2 <No More Development>

UPDATED - v1.2 removes the double messages from some apps, fixes another bug.
I wanted a way to get other notifications to the Gear without having to run another client app on the Gear.
There is another project (ATN) that initially used the Email notification to do this. I liked this approach because it was simple, used the gear manager as the delivery mechanism, and the Email notification app on the gear which is robust enough to handle long notifications.
I reached out to Dattas Moonchaser, who wrote the popular Pebble Notifier to see if I could use his app as my base. He obliged so here it is....
Install this on your phone, there is nothing to install on the Gear. The only thing you need to know is to go into Accessibility settings and give Gear Getter permissions (it has a big RED link for this when you launch the app). Also make sure you have Email notification checked in the Gear Manager.
Here are some better instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47449016&postcount=119
Once you enable Accessibility you are able to setup your apps you want to receive notifications from. Couple cool things..
- There is the ability to setup filters
- Ability to setup quiet times
- There is tasker integration (I haven't messed with this)
- This reads the data from the expanded view so you should get pretty robust notifcations
- Easy on the battery
If you feel the need to donate, please do it from the app, and it will go to Dattas who would appreciate it.

Quick question..
I did not install anything yet but I wanted to understand this. Do we install on both the gear and the phone ?
Where does it pull information from ?
I never used the app before, I just wanted some more info before I experiment with it.
And does it require 4.3 ?
Thanks

Can you read the notifications from the gear with this ?.

You only install it on the phone, there is nothing to install on the gear. It uses the built in Email notification on the gear to display the notifications.
You tell it which apps you want to receive notifications from on your gear.
This doesn't require 4.3, but the Gear Manager does (which this uses).

This send notifications from your phone (for the applications you select) to the gear, using the Email notification on the gear to display them.

Thanks, checking it out. I want to see if I can get Instagram notifications. I will report back.

So far so good! Gmail is sending full subject and body of emails! However, when you click "Show On Device" it launches the stock email client instead of gmail. It sounds like that's because it uses the email notification methods.

Great! The logic for getting the notification details is pretty battle tested so I would expect the content it sends to the gear to be pretty good and mostly match what you would see in an expanded notification on your phone.
The Show On Device I don't think I will get to be able to actually work to open the app on the phone....

Tried twice to install apk and it crashes my Note 3, it reboots on it's own and the apk is not installed .

Strange it doesn't do anything at my end.. I do not get any notifications. Could possibly show a short video of how it works??? Do I need to select the Email in Gear Manager .. Cause I aint getting any Noti's....

Hmm, have not seen any issues like this, and I have a Sprint Note 3. Can you try to re-download the apk?

Ok it works on my stock rom but not on roms i'm using in SafeStrap slots .

Under FilterList in the settings it states Pebble. FYI.

Ok, this does not work for me. Although it is probably because I running an S4 on 4.2 so far. Waiting for the update to be online.
I'll have to wait for the update to get me to 4.3 for the gear manager to work properly. I have limited functionality still
UPDATE : Well, email does not work, only get recipients name showing, but on the other hand, texting works (using sms pro)
But everything displays double, I mean I see the text and who is from and then under s separator I see it again with just a bit smaller fonts. Don't know why, maybe a setting I need to play with ?
I am glad at least for the texts for now.

Ok strange , after i boot into stock rom and then back to rom slot i installed .

LOL thanks, must have missed that one... It will work for the Gear even though it says Pebble.

I would like to point out that using this method if you use the stock browser it will talk to you and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to stop it.
Also last I knew if you were on a note 2 it will also talk when opening and closing folders and when switching home screens

Crazy! I use Chrome so didn't notice but you are right. More research shows its a bug with Samsung. I'll switch over to the 4.3 method using the security setting in the next few days. Until then I suggest using Chrome.

Gear + Note 2 on PA 3.99, now what?

I can not get Samsung App store to install, keeps saying App not installed.
When I install the gearmanage.apk, I get device not supported when trying pair gear to Note 2.
Any advice?

At this stage in order to take advantage of all the features of the gear, Yes..
Theres no other way to receive proper gear notifications at this stage.. Iv attempted to get notifications working with gear manager on CM11, I was able to get the gear to pair up with my phone etc..
Although notifications did not work at all..

Pull gearmanagerstub.apk from a stock samsung rom, the latest you can find.. you will have to manually install all the APK's bundled with gear manager also, best way to get these APK's is by decompiling gear manager and pulling them from the "asests" folder..
Although like I said barely anything works.

As if you weren't aware of this before purchasing the watch ? Hehe..
There are 20 APK's bundled with gear manager, takes 30 seconds to install them.. 2 will not install which are the weather & music control APK's.

Bad luck dude, Samsung roms really arnt that bad anymore..
You have per app dpi on samsung roms now with xposed and removing bloat is simple as.
I would take the high road and give it a try before trying to pair it up on AOSP.

My Nexus 5 with KITKAT 4.4.2 and GEAR(null_17 ROM)

hi to all, i want to share my experience (sorry for my english, i'm italian)
i have Nexus 5 phone and galaxy Gear(null_17 ROM).
Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2
Galaxy Gear with V700XXUAMK7 with NULL_17 ROM
and watchstyler 1.0.9 (working) with Casio Skin
At first i installed gearmanagerstub.apk
after i just bring "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk" and renamed to "gear manager 1.6 111801.zip"
opened and bring all file in the folder "preinstalledapk"
and run all one by one excepted for "samusic" and "saweather" because fail to installing(but is ok).
after all manual apk installed also installed "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk"
and opened gear manager and start the gear and pairing it. (2 or 3 time but making same test and check and at final running)
if you come from old pairing with other gear manager version example 1.5 or 1.4 etc... just from your sdcard delete the folder ".BManager_backup"
for fix the notification i also installed ATNmanager 1.2.2.apk on the phone, and in the gear i already sended the version of "ATNmanager 1.2.3.1_pre"(only the watch.apk file inside) and i receive all notify on gear by this apps and working fine.
remeber to go in setting->security->allow ATNmanager to read notification
up to now
work:
contact
logs call
gallery
camera(make and send directly to the phone in gallery)
call and receive it.
voice record (record and send on phone, but play with file manager in "sdcard/Sounds/Galaxy_Gear/your recording file"
notification(ATNmanager APP)
no work:
weather
s voice
For me is a good Result
Domenico.

I would think that weather and svoice wouldnt work because these features are twiz based. Thanks for reporting your findings.

Are you kidding? Look at your last sentence. Just proves that people don't research on this board and that is the reason why developers get extremely put off. Stop being lazy and do your own research. As I have said, everything has been told to many people, even in the same thread. If you can't figure it out from the available information, maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

Thank you !
Edit: All i'am saying organisation is key on this website,if there was a proper sticky and info, people would no have to ask in all threads about it. A post "how to make F'king gear manager working on non samsung devices" with 2 links and 3 words as the first guy just poset and voila ! Aparently you support messy information and useless posts.

Oh the first page of threads "Gear Manager Downloads". Nobody is going to want to help you if you've asked questions that show you haven't even looked in the forums for a second. Exactly why the null ROM no longer has direct support in here anymore.

Phore the atn the fast way is install atn 1.2.3.1 with watch paired... After it install all in the watch, disconnect watch from phone and install atn manager 1.2.2 and all notify working. Early I post the file already modded.

I have done all of this….. But I can not for the life of me get any notifications to my gear. None, not a one.

Do you get notification through atn or original notification system? I get through ATN which does the job but not that well looking.

I haven't tried, but it sounds like ATN uses it's own notification system? This is different to notifications going via Gear Manager

Stand alone application that pushes notifications, they come in as emails..
You need to have atleast email notifications enabled in gear manager, ATN handles the rest.
Also you must make sure you enable ATN in accessibility options on your phone so it has permissions to read the notifications.

ATN should send the notifications fine..
The reason why the notifications are not working on the nexus is because of the gear manager is not running completely.. I dont think the gear manager notification listener service is being started.
Have a look in accessibility settings do you see anything related to gear manager ? I didnt think to check this..

Gear with tizen working on non Samsung phones non rooted and rooted

I bought a gear for $99 dollars it's on tizen and I have it working with my sprint htc one m7. The other thread is mixed and I thought it would be good to start a tizen one for non Samsung phones. I'll try to help everyone I can.
If you haven't installed tizen I did it with this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53028751
Ok so if you want your gear on tizen to connect with any phone rooted or not all you need is the newest gear manger apk and gearmanger stub apk but if your not rooted some things won't work .. what will work will be almost everything but calllogs, music controls,svoice,message app only but message notification will work just to make it clear .. and you won't be able to install apps from Samsung store endless you side load them idk how to sorry. Notifications work camera calls everything else works all you do install the gear manger stuff I said like regular apks .. if you want apps from Samsung store there's a tutorial in the gear 2 thread how to do it on non Samsung phones but you need root for that . But if you want what I said just install the apks.. I have my htc m7 Sprint connected to it
"This part works for non rooted and rooted"
Here's the link to get the newest gear Manger and gear Manger stub apks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48560310

By any chance is the switch on top on.. Can you upload some screen shots of your gear Manger
sprint htc one m7 + gear 1 on tizen = ?

it's working for me on my Nexus 5 on 4.4.3
I have gear manager 2.1.14052101
all works except ofcourse for media controls s health and the others the op mentioned.

Does upgrading to tizen and the new manager solve the issue where calls are routed to the gear when you answer on the phone (not an issue with samsung devices).
Main reason why i would upgrade or buy a samsung phone, driving me nuts

No it still does the same thing.. But you just have to push audio source and change right on the dialer no biggie.. Tizen is worth it at least for the watch side of things. Great battery life I get 2 and half days before with Android I would get 12 hours. Beside that you get all true notifications you don't have to add any app right out the box with the apks installed.

You have the same setup as me. Did you install the GearManagerStub.apk? Is there any special steps that you need to take?

I placed gear managerstub.apk in system/app with proper permissions.
installed the gear manager 2.1.1 as a normal apk.
opened it, paired it to my gear 1.
it will ask you to install additional apks
just install them. they're around 5+ apks
and thats it.
agree to its terms blah blah blah.
viola!
set it up as you like with the gear manager on you phone.

You can do it with out pushing it to the system.. If your not rooted or if you are you can do it that way. And do you have this on to..

[Q] Galaxy Gear and LG G3

Hi XDA
Recently i dropped my Galaxy S4, the AMOLED screen broke. Instead of ordering a new screen i got a LG G3 instead. I have the Galaxy Gear which i adore and would like to use it with my G3. Is this possible? I've been away from most recent developments in the community. I was running Null's rom.
I do plan to fix my S4 and get a replacement screen. Which place do you recommend me?

I have n5 an Installed galaxy gear
This is what I used

Wait, i just clicked on the link.
So i just download the GearManager .apk to the G3 and it works out of the box?!
I want it to pair it with Null, not sure if this new versions of GearManager allow me this. Any how my G3 arrives tomorrow.

I know that null is awesome but the notification with atn ( my g3 need it otherwise i had no notification) are not so good....
With tizen after 56 hr from the full charge, always connected, i had 70% of battery left.

I'm going to be picking up the g3 as long as I can get my watch to work with it. Just want to make sure, do the volume controls for media, phone calls, and weather all work for on the g3 and gear? Oh, and also the template replies since s-voice will not work.

Here my guide:
1- uninstall gear manager with all related apks and reboot;
2- install this gear manager;
3- pair the watch with your phone and check that all works correctly;
4- uninstall goprovider and install this
5- re-enable the notication access in phone settings;
that's all.... i also installed this app that works very good and gave me some custom watchfaces...
With the above configuration i have a really good battery drain... always connected i lose about 1% - 2% max for all night.

I installed the Gear into G3, but i'm not getting any notifications. Is there is a way i can get good notifications in the G3???
I mean better than atn, something that worked like my S4....
I installed the Gear . apk and it just connected and worked with my unrooted G3... flawlessly.. just the notifications i'm missing. I'm with null

Thank you. I'm going to try this. I installed your Gear.apk and it worked wonders. Just that i don't have notifications.

what do you mean by configured?
I clicked in gear manager, notifications only these four (gmail,messages,viber and mails)
Also in phone settings security i checked the gear manager
do i have to do something else?
The answering and calling part, have i understood that it cannot be managed so everytime someone is calling i have to switch to phone on my gear before start talking

I've rebooted phone and gear and notifications are working.
Tizen is working great but there are only few watch faces.
Is there any simple method to add phone styles
