[Q] ToDo list or calendar - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Aside from the EasyDo smart assistant, is there any widgets I can use with the null rom that basically just present my ToDo list, or a calendar widget that maybe shows 2 or 3 events and when clicked shows the rest? I ask because I constantly find myself writing things on my hand like "bills" so I can remember to do them after work. It would be great if I could dedicate a homescreen to a widget for the same purpose and stop writing on my hand.

I'm using Google Calendar and Tick Tick on my gear. They both work nicely with syncing via bluetooth tether

I use Simple Calendar Widget.
It's scrollable and when you tap an event, it opens in calendar.
A bit fiddly to configure on the Gear, so I set up the layout on the phone and then export and copy to Gear.
I used to always be taking my phone out to check what room I had to be in. Now, I can easily check on my watch

You can either side load it or download via the playstore on the gear.
Once it's installed, you can select a 1x2 widget and configure it how you like in terms of colours, fields to display, font size.
The widget on the top half of the screen is Minimalistic Text widget. I have 1 instance of it with the time and date. And another overlapping instance with just the battery.
There is also the Noticounter widget which I have overlapping everything else.
[edit] As I mentioned, it's easier to setup the widget on your phone and then export it and import it on the Gear. The screen on the Gear is too small and fiddly. That applies to both Simple Calendar and Minimalistic Text [/edit]

Getting calendar apps to sync
I've got calendar apps installed ok, but they don't seem to sync, or at least don't show any meetings. When I open up Today's schedule (the stock gear app) it shows the days appointments fine. How can I get the appointments to show in the non stock apps. I'm running null_19 and had a look through the app settings. The google calendar sync and other calendar apps are set to off. I turned them on, but it killed the battery in about 20 minutes and still didnt seem to sync the meetings.
Its a major gap in the utility of the watch for me, so I'd really appreciate any help or advice. I've trawled all the threads the mention calendar, but I didnt find anything that helped.
Thanks.

Yes, you need to have Null ROM installed to be able to use any widget.
Then, you just set the widget/s on your homescreen.
For syncing, you need to setup your google account in the system settings on the Gear (need Null ROM for that too) and then set it to sync the calendar.
To sync, you will need to setup bluetooth tethering between the Gear and phone. (need Null ROM for that too).
I don't leave it tethered all the time to save the battery. I have tasker installed on the phone and Gear and it enables BT tethering for 2 minutes every hour. that is frequent enough for me to have the calendar on the watch updated.

I was actually planning on installing NULL but found out that Dev decided not to continue with the support so i guess there's no way i would be able to set it up like yours

Are you also on NULL?

i'm on null 11, and yesterday there was released null 20. it is in active development, you got your info all wrong.

The developer stopped providing support through the main thread and PM. He is distributing the Rom through another forum and to be honest still ridiculously active and supportive through multiple threads. However, I think its fair to say he's here to develop, not play helpdesk.
But yeah, as others have said, if you skim through a bit more of the front page of the gear forums, you'll find plenty of discussion showing the null rom is well and kicking.

Thanks for the advice around syncing Rich. I have syncing working fine - I'm usually permanently tethered, probably unnecessarily. When I check the google sync settings it always shows a recent last sync'd time. However, none of the meetings are being loaded into the non-stock apps for some reason. I'm keen to check out the new null_ so I imagine I'll be doing a few full resets as part of that to hopefully clear this odd blockage.

I'm interested in this as well. I have TuneIn Radio installed, and always get the option to open that or Clock, but that's it. If nothing else, I'd like to open a slideshow or news reader.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Seems to need a load of permissions considering it's application (a clock) - I'm always wary of an app that wants loads of permissions and especially control of things like system settings without proper explanation, etc.

Yeah, I hear ya. It has a ton of different settings, I think including stuff like changing the lock screen and display/screen timeout, which I assume that is for. I wish there were more fine-grained permissions sometimes, or a way to disable certain ones and still have the app work, just not the particular feature that the permission relies on. I believe in CM that's possible at least to some extent.

Disappointed in weather apps.

I can't find a single one that actually follows your current location as you drive. Neither amazing weather hd nor weather flow do this. I've tried every weather app I can think of.

Amazing Weather HD follows me. You have to enable location services in your phone settings and the GPS location in Amazing Weather HD.
Note that the shortest interval you can set is 1 hour, so it will only update your location every hour.

Both have already been enabled. An hourly change in weather is ridiculous. I used to have updates every 15 minutes on my galaxy note 2.
Where I live, the temperature can change 15 degrees in an hour.

Go into settings within Weathermaster, click Add / Pin Live tile and at the top it has an option for current location. Pin this and you're good to go. Seems to update fairly regularly for me, although not every 15 minutes.

Says it updates every half hour so if none of the others cut it for you, it might be worth a go.
I got amazing weather hd working before the trial ran out, then I bought it. Thanks for everybody's help. Now I'm waiting for a good music app. Using audio player right now. Really want in app playlist creation.

[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....

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 .

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.

[Q] using agenda on android wear

I have a LG G watch R since yesterday. I have been trying out all te functions and different apps but I can't seem to get it to make an appointment in my google agenda. I have tried saying different things using google Now but the only thing i get it to do is to view my agenda for today. Is there a way to make entry's in my agenda using the smartwatch?
I'm still trying to find out how everything works.
Use an app like "CalenGoo" and you can add calendar event and also Task.
Thank you for your reply. So at the moment the watch can't do this by itself? It needs an app for that? That sounds strange to my but i guess i will look into that suggested app. Thanks.

Try saying "Agenda for March" - it showed up next weeks appointments (test entries) for me - otherwise if you just say "Agenda" you get today only. If you say "Agenda for month" you get full size calendar page on the screen which you cant see - and a warning that it takes a long time to display.

Yes you can display your event but not add event without specific app

Launcher and multiple screens combined?

I am new to android auto.
I have been searching for a way to setup my display for the actual driving phase. I wold like to drive with a fairly big navigation window, a small audio window (to show and control what I am listening to (Radio/player/phone/etc)), and a small launcher combined.
All launchers are full screen that are good for selecting other applications but they are hidden after selection.
I am searching for a way to have Multiple screens with a main undisturbed navigation display and a Secondary small audio display to show and control what I am listening to (and showing phone data when a call comes in). All with a small launcher.
Anyone familiar with such application/launcher that can be set as home screen?
Thanks.
