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

Yeah. Without that, gear manager won't open
All I get is:
Incoming
Missed
More notifications
I've ticked things, but nothing seems to come through. Going to play around with it a bit more

Oh ! I see..
If we figure out how "more notifications.." works then were set.
Have you tried connecting the gear via gear manager ? Running a logcat at the same time..

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.

This thread has some more info about getting the Samsung App store working with GPE devices

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.

improved notification ?

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.

[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

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.

Try to disable GPS and rely on cell & WiFi location only,
GPS is indeed need a clear sky to work properly,
maybe the phone is forcing itself to using GPS when its enabled, and not sourcing from cell and wifi,

Which ROM are you using? I noticed that multi language is faster than Chinese ROM, probably because of one of those fixes they apply here.

Help with axon Elite, app notifications are not coming through in real time?

Evening all I am after a little help please I am new to this phone after having Samsung's for a long time and one thing that is bugging me is that apps that are real time e.g. whatsapp and anything with messaging are not getting the messages until I open the app and I am then flooded with messages? I have seen the options in the power menu for background apps but regardless of how I select the apps either on or off I still don't get the messages till I open the app?
Anyone else had this issue and know lof a work around?
Cheers

Hi! yeah, I had the same problem and I know more people is suffering the same experience. What I made was the following. Firstly, you should set the background apps in setting/power manager/manage background. Then, you have to make the same in Mi-assistant app/list of authorized and finally, you can install "Push Notifications Fixer" app from Google Play Store but be aware, because there are two versions of this app (rooted and not rooted devices). At this moment, my notifications come on time so, it's working pretty well.

Thanks so much for this I will check your advise out now.

The above isn't working unfortunately does anyone else have any suggestions?

Where is power manager? I don't see that in the settings.(on 5.1.1)

Do you have 5.1.1 version in Axon Elite? Congratulations! You must be the only one. Rest of us have 5.0.2 version and in settings, you have an option with an icon battery. This is power manager or energy manager.

Hello, I have found an easy solution Here is the link, post number 5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte...n-mini-root-custom-roms-t3289640#post64791398

hi all well after speaking with ZTE support i performed a factory reset but prior to that they advised to clear cache on the apps with issues (not sure why) but this did help and for the first few days all was great but whatsapp is slowly getting more and more delayed? i have set all the power and start up options as advised also disabled the MI assistant but to no avail? so the reset may help others but for me this did not work.
