Hello
I recently acquired a Gear and have been reading, learning and working on it. I have a Verizon Note 2 running Alliance Rom (@beanstown). I've rooted the gear, installed TWRP and installed the latest Null (build 23). I was on V700XXUAMK7, although this morning it updated to V700XXUBNA3 via Gear.
So, first, just same basic questions:
1. Installing apps - once connected via BT DUN, I can install apps from playstore - so, I'm not clear what all the discussion is about pushing apks to the device and then installing them (?). The only thing that came up this morning was google voice app said it wasn't compatible with device, so obviously sideloading this would make sense.
2. Notifications - in almulder's tutorial, there are different tutorials/recommendations regarding notifications. I assume the stock gear notifications still work, plus using Nova's unread count shows gmail messages anyway. I just want to be notified when I receive a text, gmail or google voice message (see below).
3. Re installing stock ROM - is this done by just flashing a zip via TWRP or is this via Odin
4. Google now / voice search - doesn't seem to be working. It listens and translates the text but then nothing happens. I was testing it wanting to send a text. I guess S-Voice is what has to be used (?)
Customizing (why I really created this post):
Although Null ROM is obviously very cool - and the idea of having basically a full phone interface is cool, I just don't really need or want that on the watch. So, I'm trying to figure out the best way to customize the Null ROM to my desires. All I really want to do is to receive notifications of messages (gmail, sms, google voice) - AND reply to them, preferably via voice to text with minimal taps. I'd also like to be able to take photos and share them straight from watch. That's really it! I actually like the large icons of the original stock launcher, it's just missing the functionality.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts / experience.
I like what you are looking for, but I haven't seen a way to do most of what you are requesting. I'm really looking forward to the google wearables SDK that is supposed to come out in the next week or so. I'm hoping that will provide an answer for people looking for more functionality.
1. The play store is a memory hog so I removed it and just Bluetooth apks to the gear then install. Also found this to be quicker then trying to play around on the small screen.
2. From the gear manager app on your phone go to notifications then down the bottom you can select choose to receive notifications from more apps. This is how I got gmail to work.
3. Sorry can't help as I haven't looked back since installing null rom.
4. Once again can't help as I use s-voice
Customizing:
When flashing null rom you can choose not to install nova or Alex launcher. I would think you would lose some functionality though. I installed nova but mainly use the stock user interface and only go to nova to access things I can't access from stock ui.
I only use the gear for notifications and calls also. You can reply to msgs via text to speech from the options when you receive a notification on the gear.
I know the watch shares photos to the phone automatically but I'm not sure on how to share to say Facebook for example. You can share via Bluetooth to another device direct from the gear via the gallery.
Hope I have assisted with some of your queries and welcome to the world of the gear.

I will add though if you plan on using your watch for anything that requires a keyboard, downloading Fleksy keyboard is a must. Makes life so much easier.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE!
I'm getting the hang of things. Now that I realize the "stock" rom is essentially the touchwiz home launcher with some apps things make more sense and I'm able to kind of have a hybrid between the stock and the null rom with nova. For the life of me I can't find any setting that allows me to reply from the touchwiz launcher when there are notifications. Using S-voice I can easily send a message and I even see the "quick" replies set up on the galaxy gear app on my phone, but, can't figure it out.
Anyway, thanks again - getting closer to good functionality.
Just having a look I think you can only use text to speech replies for text msgs. Should be in the options menu when viewing the msg on your gear.

weather clock and null 23
My 3d weather clock suddenly stopped working. It's not the ram I was on null 19 and 15. I tried both several times and just left it with null23. Something is eating away at my ram. It's gotta be that. Any suggestions. If it means anything and probably not a coincidence that after I upgraded to 4.2.2 my battery is draining very very quickly. I saw on a thread the play store eats away at the battery so I'm going to take that out. Any suggestions?

We know there is an issue with not all notifications going to the Gear.
We can solve this with Android 4.3 and new notification access APIs.
I am working on an app for the Gear to do this - I will keep everyone updated on this thread.
Awesome thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
The notifications API would give the Gear access to the content so it can actually be displayed or is it to mirror whatever is in the notification bar ?
Great!!
Awesome!!!

Is there a published ..something.. about this issue, because I'm only getting a small fraction of sms/email, which is the most important thing for me. Hoping you can do better then Samsung!!
There is an app called Pebblify which is exactly what the gear needs.
You choose which notifications to push to the gear, and it pretty much sends exactly what is in the notification bar to it.
That said, I really like the gear notifications now which I can push a button on the gear and pull my phone out of my pocket and go straight to the message.
Yup, but I guess thats doable. It really is only a matter of figuring out what type of guesture is used there. Maybe nfc proximity? not sure.... anyways once thats figured out, sending the intend should be trivial.

In the gear manager, settings, then select notification, you can select which notifications appear. I have turned off Google+ and GMAIL. I don't use gmail, because I have several email addresses and only want one place to check. But the email app works great and sends most of the email to the gear. Hope this helps!

Not quite the same thing. Check out Pebblify in the market and you will see what I mean. You can have any notification from any app pushed to the Pebble verbatim as it appears in the notification pull down.
That is only part of the equation. The native notification app is just too limited. Ultimately I want to see the same notifications I get on my phone, and the ability to jump directly to the item when clicking the notification or using the gesture.

Yes, I agree with that as well, but to be fair you are comparing V2 Sony to V1 Gear. The Gear will get there also, remember the Sony didn't have that out of the box either.
The Gear's 3rd party software is just starting!
Hence I want to see it eventually. But from what I played with so far with the gear none of the features I mentioned are out of scope for a decent notification app.
I dont expect it to be release over night though or even with all the functionality I would like
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
The notifications are really a huge drawback on this beautiful device.
I turn off messaging notifications and use sms popup and it won't show up on the GG. Google Voice is a no show.
Really hope a 3rd party app can address this massive shortcoming as it appears Samsung has no intention to.
Please enlighten us how development is going??
Hmm i would like to know that too. If what I read is correct, an app on the phone that subscribes to the NotifiactionListenerService should receive all or a limited set of notifications on the phone. If a companion app on the gear can communicate with the app ( not sure how the new BT stack works but I guess it could be in the form of writing to a Parcel, receiving it on the companion app, and pushing the notification content to the screen..... ) it would allow all notifications to display and not just the ones the Gear Manager allows currently.
I will start experimenting a bit with how the gear and phone communicates and how an app could possibly either hijack this channel or create it's own. It would be great if anyone who has more development experience in android join in to see this through.

/\ That sux =-( .
Hopefully soon =-)
1) Download and install on your PC or Mac Wondershare MobileGo (Free Trial) - I cannot post the link - but u can find it on Google
2) Set the Gear to USB Debug and connect it through a USB cable to PC
3) MobileGo will download the drivers then it will recognize the connected device as Samsung SM-V700
4) MobileGo will also install its app on your Gear.
5) Now you can navigate the upper left menu including "Google Play Apps" from which you can install any app to your Gear, just click the app icon and then click on the green install button.You can check the process clicking "Downloads" on bottom left.
6) On the menu in the upper left of MobileGo under the menu "Apps" you will have access to all apps installed on Gear, clicking on this menu you can see all your installed apps and install or uninstall any app on your Galaxy Gear.
See some screenshot of MoblieGo.
I hope I was helpful
Thanks
Going to try it out.

How to install to GEAR? The Play Store cannot see my GEAR listed.
For never install apps, it will download, but for apps I had install at others device, it can't download.
Most cannot install...
Same for me, actually I can't install any app with your method from click on Google Play Apps, he ask me to login with my account and then don't offer to install on the gear
Sometime don't ask to log in and then add to dosnload list but don't want download, get error ;(
Edit : If I install app direct fril the option this work. But was Google Map and no internet on the watch, so was useless
Click install and then cancel and then install again most work after the second attempt
Mine says that my device is sleeping and won't work,what should I do?
Here it's working fine and installing any App from Google Play, as show on the screenshots, I installed Smart Launcher using MobileGo. Of course don't have to sign in on Google Play otherwise the apps will be installed only to the registered devices. Honestly I'm using the MobileGo Pro version which giving many more features to the program and may be this the issue that may not allow to install apps to devices non registered on Google Play like Galaxy Gear.
Working great for me!

Yeah! Without signing in, I can install more apps, but this means I can't get any paid apps that I already buy get install...
At least work for free apps, thanks a lot.
So easy, this is awesome! I finally have the calculator and calendar apps that i needed! Also running Nova launcher!
It's a nice app but too expensive to purchase. It will be useful for the free period of 14 days.
I found installing the apps that I want on my Note 3 and then, pushing the apps via ADB to Gear works just as well at no extra cost.

Fully charge phone this morning at 7:45am and 5 hours later, I am at 43% battery. Just turned the brightness to 4 and rebooted the gear. I think the MobileMe app which asks for wifi to be connected is draining the battery while trying to search. I have gone and closed all apps running in the background and will monitor for the next hour to see what the % looks like then.
Is there a way to remove the auto installed MobileMe app during this process.
Ian B
Update: An hour later and the battery was already in the 30s%. Ended up resetting the gear, charging for an hour and now, my battery is back to normal. Charged to 84% and an hour later, I am still at 80%. The Mobileme app and calculator app were removed by system when I reset the Gear.
Going after work to exchange this mocha brown color(only one in Austin available) for the Lime Green one at BB.

Can you elaborate on how you push the apps via adb? are you pushing from your phone? or backing up with titanium or something similar?
This works perfect.
Thanks.
I've just play with Fruit Ninja.
ES explorer works well too.
this is what i was waiting for!
can anyone make some more screenshots, or record a video?
can you get some sort of a small-sized phone functionality? i mean, place browser shortcut, install reddit client, use other calculators, show calendar etc?

You need to install ADB on your PC and use it in the command prompt window to install the apps on the gear.
You will need to be familiar with ADB commands like "adb install c:\director\filename" to install the app to the Gear, with the Gear's USB Debug option turned on and connected to your PC via USB cable.

Can you describe this process ?
Youre just pushing Note 3 APKs to the Gear ?
If you have for example Instagram on your phone and Gear...are both of them looking for updates ?
Thanks , working great. I even have a task killer for the hard to shut down apps, like Riptide2. It run great on this Gear.
I have used DataSync+ application with my phone and Nexus tablet and I found it also works with the Gear. You need to have it installed on the Gear by using the PlayStore on the Gear.
Essentially this app needs to be installed on your phone and gear. It is used to transfer any application (and it's data if you want) that you have installed on your phone, and install/transfer it over to your Gear. I was able to get Tablet Talk that was on my phone and install it over on my gear with no issues at all. It works on any app. I also used it to transfer/install SwiftKey that I use on my phone over to the gear. Now the keyboard is much bigger (almost the whole screen) and easier for quick responses to texts in Tablet Talk.
For those HTC One users, I have almost every thing working on my gear with the only exception being the Notifications and Svoice. But that is solved with Tablet Notifications and Tablet Talk with Swift Keyboard. Everything else works fine, media controller, contacts, dialer, camera, gallery (push photos), find my device, call logs, etc.
I have the HTC One running with the ViperOne 3.1 RC2 | 3.62.401.1 | Android 4.3 Sense 5.5 ROM. & Gear with Null 11.1 Rom
Now this would be great info if you explained to us who are not tech savvy on how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear. You start off your rcommendation by statin we use the app to transport applications onto our gear, but you never explain how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear as a start point.
I spent an entire dayt trying different ways to get apps onto my phone by using the ADB method, etc. I did not want to go with the MObileMe method because people said it burns battery. Caught fits. So i would really be grateful if you would take a moment and walk me thru on how to get AppSync+ application on my gear so I can begin to port over apps to the gear---By the way this does not reqiure rooting does it?

You must have not read my second sentence where I mention using the play store from your Gear. Bluetooth tether the Gear to your phone, launch the play store from the gear, search for DataSync+ and download it and install to your Gear.
The APP does not require Root.
I mentioned in my original post the name to be AppSync+, but the name is actually DataSync+. MY APOLOGIES

I am going to spend the day doing this but since i am new to the tech scene I will need a few basic points (I know i am so new at this I really ought not be posting on XDA). From an elementary standpoint, I know my gear does not have the play store on it. When I "tether" the gear to my phone does opening the play store on the PHONE cause the play store to open on the gear and then be downloaded. I simply do not know how the tethering process works to download the play store to my phone.
Please don't give up on me as I really want to do what yoy recommended to me in this thread

SW,
No biigie, we were all beginners at one point. The way I tether is by having the Null 11.1 rom on my Gear. Once that process is complete and during the process of installing the rom you will see an option for gapps. Install it so the playstore app is included. once that is complete and you have paired your phone you then go to the settings app from the rom (blue icon) and click on bluetooth. you will see the phone you have paired to. Scroll to the bottom and click on the tethering option. You then have to enable tethering on your phone also. Once that's done and you are tethered you open up the playstore app on the Gear, enter your gmail account info then you search for Datasync+, then you install it.

To help clarify, does the Phone need to be Rooted? Data sync is saying this is required, once I installed it. Thanks.

i don't know which watch face are you using, i never had problem with watch faces being full screen.. but if you really like touchwiz (yuck!) best you could probably do is to remake it all using desktop visualizer plugin. that's like 15 minutes top i think.

Its just that there is a small border going all around the clock face, it doesnt go right to the edges.
Im not really clued up on coding or designing, so unless there is a setting to make this happen I'd be pretty clueless
I notice all apps that installed with null show on my gear manager and can be set as a favourite. Anyway I can do this for apps installed myself, like the google search app?

System apps stay on device and don't get wiped (I think you can use something like titanium backup to convert app to a system app or move the apk to /system/app). Then once you wipe your device and reconnect to gear manager, gear manager will add it to list of installed apps. Just click the plus sign to add to favourites

Thanks, I don't feel confident enough to start messing with system apps just yet.
Funny enough, When I installed google search it installed two widgets, google now and google search bar. They appear in gear manager and can be added to the favourites screen. How's this possible.

Right, plucked up the courage to try this and it worked - google remained installed.
Problem is, it is the widgets that show up in the gear manager, not the app. Any ideas?
If anyone has a solution to this problem please please help me.
It's the one thing I want to make this device perfect for my needs. I just cant seem to get the google voice search icon on my favourites.
I've moved the google search app to a ssytem app and it just gives the options in gear manager for the widgets not the app icons.

Seems to be an issue with 1.6 or ml1. Both are leaks, so either wait for official or go back in version
Ok, So I have have a Galaxy Gear and Nexus 5, I can answer phone calls, change my clock, etc. I have enabled Gmail, Facebook notifications on in both ATN Notifications and Gear Manager 1.6.132701 but nothing is coming through. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Those are the exact steps I did but I still can't get notifications to work.
I'm in the same boat. Followed the directions 100% and all I can do is call.

Could be that Samsung patched the vulnerability

I've spent hours and hours trying to get things right on the n5 and gear. No such luck. Was able to connect and receive calls and transfer images sometimes. Notifications never worked unless using a third party app like tablet notifier. With tablet notifier using null ROM, I didn't need to use any gear manager to get that to work. The answering calls and transferring photos won't work. Just notifications do.

My gear works perfectly with Nexus 5. I followed the instructions here (http://pocketnow.com/2014/02/07/galaxy-gear-with-the-nexus-5) and it works. make sure you dont miss step 12 (and follow all steps in order). also use the ATN Manager from post #13 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596455&page=2
Have you set the security setting allowing ATN manager to receive notifications?
I had to use the .111801 version to get calling, contacts and photo transfer to work. Also i got Atn manager 1.2.2 to work, not 1.2.3

WORKING!
For those that are using other device and not Samsung Devices....
OK I was able to get this working and I will try my best to explain it for everyone so you can understand:
Uninstall any versions of ATNManger you already have installed
Install ATN Manager 1.2.2 on your "Phone" (In my case, Nexus 5), apk HERE
Install the "Watch.apk" inside ATN Manager 1.2.3.1_pre.apk on your "Galaxy Gear", apk HERE
Go to settings on your "Phone" and find security, inside there find "Notification Access" make sure ATN Manager is checked
Open ATN Manager on you "Phone" and check all apps that you want to get notifications from (example: Gmail, Hangouts, Google+, Facebook)
You should now get notifications on all of your apps that you checked, my wife even gets them for all her games.
Too bad it only lets you know you got a message and then you have to go to phone to see it, but you still get the notification if say your phone is on silent. Would be great if we could make this work from Nexus 5 through GearManager as it is better but no luck there for me.
Also while I am at it, here is how to get the WatchStyler app working so you can change your watch faces:
Open GearManager on your "Phone"
Connect to your Galaxy Gear
Click on Clocks to see the list of clocks
With Clocks open hit your home button to minimize Gear Manager
Install latest WatchStyler app (1.1.00) from HERE
Open WatchStyler app
Now open GearManager (that is still running) and you will then see the WatchStyler option, choose it
Make a new watch face in WatchStyler and then open GearManager
Choose the Gear next to WatchStyler and choose the watch face you just made and choose apply
You should now see your new watch face on your Galaxy Gear
Hope this helps everyone.
