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.

Google Edition KitKat & The Galaxy Gear

I just tried a KitKat GE rom on my i9505, To my surprise the gear paired up !
You need to make sure you have the relevant gear apks in /system/app.. although it did pair up fine..
I'll give more information on this shortly.. going to verify everything works as intended.
EDIT: To my surprise, the latest version of kitkat comes preloaded with the needed gear manager files.
All that is really needed is accuweather & gear manager and your set!
EDIT 2: In saying that, its no where near stable to be used as a daily driver, random reboots & wifi connectivity issues.
Although its nice to know its being incorporated.

Hmmm...I wonder what files it needs to make notifications work. I'm getting nothing on my Nexus5 even though it is set to send them

Make sure you install gearmanagerstub (I copied to system/app and then ran it to install). Then you need to install the extra apk files separately. All downloads available in link in my sig

Does Everything work? Contacts? dialer etc? Whats the problem with stability? Is it due to the 4.4 ROM you are using or with the gear mangaer? I got a real S4 GE edition and wourld love to have the Gear

For any one in the future going through what I did: YOU NEED THE STUPID " GearManagerStub.apk " for watch to work!!! OMFG what a waste of time to get this working!!!

I was able to get Gear Manager automatically installed on my i9505g as well using the NFC bump.
It seems none of the notifications work other than phone calls. I can't get Gmail or Hangouts to notify the GG. Have you had any luck with this? I was able to enable those notifications in Gear Manager, they just don't work.

Anyone tried it with the recent 4.2.2 update?

Strangely I'm having more trouble installing the Samsung App Store on the GPE rom than Gear Manager. It keeps coming back as app not installed.

Samsung GPE devices dont need this, they contain touchwiz frameworks..
As per the notifications working, I recently tried to get them working although did not have any luck doing so..
It seems not all the APK's are being installed, media controller provider APK is not installing.. I havnt figured out why !
Also it seems that the services gear manager uses are not starting, may be due to all the initial APK's not being installed I assume..
I believe if we can get all the APK's that gear manager initially installs completed successfully, it will trigger the services to start.

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.

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..

In the gear manager, there are more options in Notifications. Make sure you have the latest, or one of the latest versions of Gear Manager.

I was wondering the same thing I only get some of my notifications well like one some far and that's email not gmail just email app messages never gotten any text messages gmail messages (email) or fb IG nothing and I checked all the options in the gear manager notification under settings any idea or advice would be greatly appreciated?

I'm having the same limited functions on the gear.. using the latest mk7 rom

Go to gear manager on phone click on notification, scroll down to bottom and clean on more notifications, scroll down the now extended apps list and whattsapp is at the bottom... Tick the box next to it and your done. Of course you will only get the notification on the gear when phone screen is off, works really well.

[APP][UPDATE 9.10.2014] Sprocket - Watch Faces, SMS/MMS,File Transfer, Remote Install

I bought a gear recently and was sad to see a lack of apps tailored specifically for it so I made one of my own!
Sprocket
Features:
Native SMS/MMS functionality.
View/Send SMS conversations
View MMS
File Transfer
Send a file from the phone and it will automatically be saved in Internal Storage in the GalaxySMS directory and opened on the Gear from the default handling app
.
Remote Application Install
Allows you to install apps on the gear that are installed on your phone.
*Note does not work for paid apps it seems. At least on my Moto X.
Installation
Install the apk on both the phone and the gear and you will be good to go. The application will be automatically run on startup, but needs to be started initially once first installed on both the phone and gear.
Its a good idea to have bluetooth already turned on when initially starting the app.
Install on Phone first, select device
Install on gear next, select device
Support
This app was written specifically on my Moto X so there may or may not be issues with other phones. Please send me a logcat and I'll see what I can do.
Update 7.29.2014
East2West said:
Hello everyone!
I've been working many hours on this release and have made several improvements.
ChangeLog
Better App Stability
System runs in the foreground now so it is less likely to be killed
Improved Connection Speeds
Increased buffer size to allow faster transfers
New Notifications For Texts
This is the one I'm most excited about. I took some inspiration from the new Android Wear Watches to create custom notifications for our beloved gear.
Installation
Install the update on both the Gear and the Phone. If you already have sprocket installed on your gear you can update it with the new version v1.1 attached to the first post using Remote Install. To enable notifications click "Enable SMS Notifications" on the Phone version and follow the prompts.
Right now the app supports all notifications for SMS, but if you would like to preview notifications across the entire device you may download a developer key available on the play store. It will unlock all other notifications (including ongoing and button control!) from the device and will help continue development from my end to give you new features to make our device more useful. A preview of these notifications below:
Install Developer Key*
*The developer key only needs to be installed on the phone
I'll be going through the thread to address any issues you have come across. Thank you all for the feedback

Galaxy s4 . All ok. Good job.

Nice and useful app! But I miss a notification which tells you when a file has been sent or an remote installation has been made.

You are a genuis!!! Works... having issues with transferring files. My screen goes black and sits in idle... but who cares... as long as I can receive and reply to text messages I'm good. GOOD JOB!!!! Can you add reply to emails?

Is your app for Android or Tizen?

How can I instill the Sprocket app on my gear?

Nexus 5 ... Remote install works.. file share works.. sms does not. keeps crashing everytime i select a contact.

You're talking about when you send from the Gear App it will also show on your phone? If so, it works for me. Shows up on my phone what I have sent through the Gear.

Interesting! So if you send a sms to yourself from the gear it will be displayed twice on your phone (one as send and one as received)? Might I ask which sms you use?

Really cool app, looking forward to next release. I can see and interact with the sms on the gear, but I can't seem to send files from my Note 3. It's also paired with the galaxy gear manager, does that need to be off? Thanks again.
Chris
EDIT: I was wrong above, it did transfer the files, I just didn't see them at first. I also installed some apps via Sprocket. Now that I have Google voice function working offline, the SMS function is really nice. I can practically hold a SMS conversation quickly on my watch. I just need to make the little voice button on the keyboard bigger...lol. But once you hit it, the Voice Icon is much bigger and easy to continue the replies. For such a small program, it really is very capable.

Updates
Like I indicated in my earlier post. "I love this app." It's the only app I've found that allow SMS replies without the hassle. "It feels good swiping a reply from my watch." Since I've had it here are the bugs.
1. When I send a text from my phone my watch vibrates.
2. Occasionally looses Bluetooth connection. (will not connect to server must restart phone/watch)
3. About a 3-5 sec delay to start the app
Also I"m using Note 3. Otherwise this app is the BOMB! It doesn't use much battery. Resolve the bugs and this will be me a must have app for the Gear.

I agree! I think people overlook Sprocket...It's really basic, but the few things it does are HUGE. It's the best for replying to SMS, I even shut off the Gear Manager notificatiion for SMS. And it's just too easy to install an app or transfer a file. I think this is my favorite app for the Gear. Thanks and look forward to your work.
