Well this is my first app for the Gear. It is pretty self explanatory, it will launch Tasker tasks on your device directly from your watch. I recently got a Gear after my Sony SW2 broke and while the Gear is much nicer to look at I found the lack of apps disheartening. The Tasker app was what I missed the most so I thought I'd start here!
The development for this app has stopped due to hardware changes. Support for the existing version can be gotten from this thread, but no further updates will be made. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Please read the installation instruction carefully and check the FAQ before asking asking for help.
Any and all feedback is welcome!
Features
Start tasks on your device from your watch.
View tasks by project.
Root not required.
Displays a favourites menu for quick access.
Launch tasks on the host through an intent (From the Gear or Host).

Send messages between the host & the Gear.
Custom notifications for Gear.
Installation
Make sure you have Tasker installed on your phone and "External Access" is enabled.

FAQs
Q: Does this app support the null_ rom?
A: Yes, though this is only possible thanks to fOmey for his help testing.
Q: Does this app require root/null_ to work?
A: No, there is no special requirement for this app.
Q: How do I turn on "Enable Access" in Tasker?
A: Open Tasker and press the Menu Button. Go to Preferences, then the UI tab. Check the box that says "External Access". Make sure to close Tasker so that the settings are saved.
Q: How do I enable "Unknown Sources" on my Gear?
A: Open the Gear Manager and tap on Settings. Scroll the the bottom (under Security) and make sure the box "Unknown Sources" is checked.
Q: I can't get X to work in Tasker. / How do I do X with TasGear?
A: There are plenty of tutorials around for Tasker, but unless it is a specific problem with TasGear then I ask that you refrain from posting your question here. This thread was set up to give examples of how Tasker/TasGear can be used.
Q: I can't see the notification on my phone/tablet! / I can't see the TasGear app on my Gear!
A: Make sure you install the app on your phone/tablet and not your Gear. You don't need to side load this app
Q: I have X problem, how do I fix it?
A: Make sure you have correctly installed the app by following the installation instructions and the notification on your phone/tablet says connected. Try restarting both devices and checking External Access is enabled in Tasker.
Q: Can I start a task on the Gear by sending a message from the host?
A: No. I am not running null on my Gear and therefore have no way to test Tasker interaction on the Gear. If this changes I'll let you know!
Q: Can I install TasGear on a non-Samsung device?
A: Maybe! You will need to install Gear Manager first! You can follow this tutorial to get it set up. Skip steps 10 to 12, the notification app no longer exists. This is a good alternative. Thanks to @technologicrepair and @Brendo for the research in to this.
Q: Can TasGear create widgets on the Gear?
A: No. The stock version of the Gear's firmware does not support widgets. If you have null rom you can use Tasker to pass information through TasGear to your phone though. See the examples thread to find out how to do this.

The app starts on the GG and sits there with a locked up busy indicator...

Hey Radimus, What device do you have? Is it rooted? Is your GG rooted? Any sideloaded apps?
I'm afraid I haven't had an opportunity to test on other devices/conditions, I'd love some additional info.
The loading indicator appears when it is retrieving the task data from your device (which is a good sign as it means the connection was successful )

I think I may have fixed the problem! If this fixes it then I can only apologise... regardless it was terrible QA on my part, haha.
Grab the new version if you can, but the problem should go away if you enable External Access in Tasker (You can find it under Preferences > Misc > Allow External Access).
Thanks for the prompt feedback

with note3 work Very well. Bravo!
if possible add possibility create shortcut on gear.

As far as I'm aware the only way to add a shortcut to the Gear's main pages is through the Gear Manager on your device.
Gear Manager > My Apps > Favourites (Tab) > + (Button at top) > Tick TasGear

Hey Jeshter, I'm gonna need more information. The previous loading problem was due to "External Access" not being enabled in Tasker. This should no longer cause a crash, so you must have a different problem
Can you tell me what device you are using, if you have modified your device (root or custom firmware) and if you have modified your Gear (root or custom firmware).
Thanks!

Ok my bad! So I need tasker it self aswell. Cause that isnt that clear to me ...

Okay, have you modified the Gear in any way?
So you have Tasker installed and set up. You will need to run it at least once and enable "External Access". Make a task just so you have something to see on the watch, it doesn't matter what it does for now.
Reinstall the TasGear app afterwards just to be sure. Then restart both the phone and the watch.
See if that helps Remember to wait for your watch to reconnect to the phone before starting TasGear.

Gear Notification Router

All -
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!!

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.

FB Quickview updated

I just noticed the FB Quickview app has been updated.
It now has a blue and white icon instead of the previous black and white one.
I still have the same problem as before. The first time you run it, it loads current notifications and messages.
But, then the notifications and messages never update on the watch.
You can have new FB notifications and message on your phone / FB account, but the watch never retrieves them or updates them on the watch app.
The notifications I can see are good. You can see pictures and you can even like posts.
But, I can only see the list that was there a few hours ago when I installed the app. Nothing since then.
Anyone get the app to work properly?
Works fine for me. The old version never displayed anything. The new version does (although seems a little slow at times). Wish it displayed more info though. It's useless showing exactly what Facebook notification show me anyway (which is limited in the same way)
Just updated I havent noticed anything new
Mine never shows anything at all. Nothing under notifications, friend requests, or messages.

Don't like the way this app needs to use accessability in order to push notifications. Turning this on usually screws other features up such as air view and causes stupid announcements like scan finished when turning wifi on.

AND...when you enable FBQuickview Accessibility the stock browser gives you an annoying play by play of everything it's doing..."page loading"..."page loaded". I'm pretty sure that to receive notifications you have to enable this. So after finding this out I decided that having the freedom to use the stock browser (because sometimes it's the one that I wish to use) without the play by play was more important to me than having this crappy app so I uninstalled it. Well, almost...now I have FBQuickview category stuck in my notification archives because it had received them. Because I uninstalled the app the actual notifications are gone, but the category is still there. I am currently trying different ways to get that to go away but I may just have to reset the Gear and re-set it all up again. Sure, it's not THAT big of a deal to have this legacy category there, but it just bugs me. And I'll never get the 45 minutes of my life back discovering that FBQuickview Accessibility was the culprit of the sudden an mysterious verbal browser feedback.
If I am wrong about needing to enable FBQ Accessibility and or if anyone knows what I can do to make that damn FBQ notification category go away...please let me know.
Isn't this app a bit redundant now that GM pushes all notifications to the watch?

Yeah, I think so...but I thought that it gave more info than the stock notification. Maybe I'm wrong. I was just so desperate to find any app that is worthwhile for the Gear. Pretty slim pickins so far. I'm really anxious for more development.
App has been updated. It now uses notification access rather than accessibility

It still has the same problem where it loads all notifications the first time you run it, but after that the notifications and messages never get updated on the Gear.
In the phone, the app seems in gear manager still say that the security settings needs to be ticked.

Hello! new here..
This app has worked pretty well so far, but today i rooted my Galaxy Gear and installed Nova Launcher.. now this app no longer pushes new notifications to the gear.. i have no idea what has happened, i uninstalled and re-installed the app, but at best all i can have it do is that initial load up of the latest notifications, messages or friend requests... but it does not push anything new. that happens. basically get the same as richlum above here by the sound of it.. i first thought it may be some issue with Nova Launcher, but i get the same with the stock launcher as well..

I think I figured this one out. What I did was:
Install Gapps (sent the zip over thru ADB and then flashed it)
Install Tasker and Autoremote thru the appstore
Installed Barcode scanner (optional)
Spoofed WiFI
Scanned my phone's AutoRemote QR Code (optional)
That's it! You need to be tethered thru bluetooth, obviously.

If you don't mind losing setting on the gear you can wipe the gear and start from scratch...
1: Press and hold the power button until it shows:
"Samsung Galaxy Gear
Rebooting..."
2: While on that screen, press the power button 5 times
3: this should bring you to to a menu. cycle through the options and select recovery
4: to choose, press the button for 3 seconds.
5: Wait for it to wipe...
6: Once done, set it up as a new device!
Hopefully that fixes it!
EDIT: When (or if) it asks to restore from a backup, select NO!
I am using a third party app by the same dev that does the K9 email call Melwin, I get a notification of the email with the header but I cant read the email, is it possible to do this with the Gear?? I have the latest Mk7 Null 10.1 and the latest Gear manager app as well. Thanks

Unfortunately that isn't something that is wrong with the gear, it is just the way the Gear Manager formats the notification to be displayed on the gear. There is always the possibility of getting that email app on the gear itself, however!
Make this a sticky please!

Im using mobileGo to install apps to the gear but it seems to now work. this started happening after installing Null.
Also for some reason it seems that don't have root since it wont let me run root browser.

Well, the Null ROM is pre-rooted... All I can think is try running a root verification app to see if it is truly rootedand Root Browser is misbehaving, or if it is unrooted for some reason...
Is there a way to update the gear to mk7 if im in usa?

As long as you follow the Null rom instructions from the page one of the ROM thread - it should be no obstacles. Please read carefully.
Please be aware that in most cases US providers block BT tethering, so for internet access please check it on your phone first.

If you want to keep it stock, download the ROM from here!
It is for Britain, but it works for the USA as well!
What should we be using on installing apps to the gear? Should I keep using WonderShare?
no Bluetooth tethering option on watch
No option in settings<Bluetooth<settings. My only options are rename and unpair. Where is my tethering option?

"ADB install [Apk file]"
Just make sure you actually have adb installed! but you need the APK... Wondershare works just fine!

Ahh, US phones seem to have this issue... Make sure you go into the "more settings" right under the bluetooth and wifi switches select tethering and hotspot and check off Bluetooth tethering. If not, it is a limitation put in place by AT&T. The only thing that would help is a new ROM...or a mod of some sort.
Should i use the newest Gear Manager with Null10.1?

You should, yes.
Couple of questions
Just have 3 questions. Is there anyway to increase the in call volume of the Gear? I have it turned all the way up to 6 and its barely audible on a call. I know the little speaker is capable because on youtube clips this thing is crazy loud.
Second question. I have looked everywhere for the 1.5 version of gear manager. I checked the sigs and I still cant find it. Can you post a link to the apk?
Third and last question. How do you toggle the touchwiz and nova launcher?
T.I.A.
Great Rom!

S-Health Lite (APK)

Hi,
Just found a new app called "Fitness With Gear" on Samsung Store and it states in the package name as "S-Health Lite". It can help to sync perfectly all fitness info from Gear 2 or Fit to your device.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This app might also work with non-Galaxy phones too. You can try out to see if it works. (Then there's no more the need of waiting for a properly ported of S-Health for non-Galaxy phones)

Is this some sort of scam. I see no mention of this app on Samsung store. Do you have a link of the actual app in the store?

I got it working on my Galaxy S4. So it should work on your Note 3.
Nah it doesnt work. Every time i open it it asks me to login to my samsung account. When i press on sign in, it won't do anything.-
Edit: I got it to work after uninstalling health service. But then again without that S health wont work XD
But the fitness app seemed to work only once after in uninstalled health service. I checked my pulse on my fit and it didnt update on the fitness app :/

You have to Sync it once you've done anything then it will show. In Fitness for Gear, Top Right Menu, Settings, Samsung Account, Top Right Menu, Sync
fitness with gear not linking with samsung account

i'm having the same problem as the user above, it shows my account with the "Link" button on the bottom but when you click it, nothing happens, well, actually, it goes to privacy policy but there is no accept button or anything, just back, no top right menu.
if anyone else finds a fix for this, please post here

Hey man are you even reading what I am saying? I cannot log into my samsung account from fitness for gear app. WIth the latest S health update i cannot even log into it there either. Because the damn Healthservice crashes. I have searched and checked out the s5 apps thread for note 3. So far no fix yet. That is why I am asking you how you got it to work. I am running stock rom with basically everything installed. And cannot for my life get this to work. Which Rom are you running? are you on kitkat?

Maybe S-Health is interfering with Fitness For Gear. I uninstalled S-Health and the Health Service and just use Fitness for Gear.

Ya it worked after uninstalling s health and healthservice I can get the info from my fit now, but I am still not able to log into my samsung account. Even on samsung apps everytime i sign in, it seems to auto sign out after i close the app. Do you have that problem?

Hi, Thanks for sharing, unfortunately this does not work on my sony z1.
The apk launch well but does not sync with my gear neo, no numbers showing . When clicking on connect to samsung account nothing happens.
I guess we non samsung users will have to wait a little more...
Edit: someone with a g2n fw higher than R381XXU0ANCD should test, as mine does not have sleep tracker which could explain I was not able to sync

Hey. I found out my problem. its the rom i am using. Appareantly if i dont choose Samsung apps etc on aroma installer it breaks the samsung login. I found that out after 3 factory resets lol. After that i did not install the new S health. Instead the one that comes with the phone and fitness with gear. I can sign in and out no problems now. And sync my info. And yes new shealth and healthservices also breaks fitness with gear app.

Congrats on sorting it out!
So we must make a choice between all the functionalities of S Health or the ability to sync Gear with our phone ?
Why ?? ?

I tried this and it worked:
Go to setting > app manager and delete goprovider. Wait for a couple of minutes and allow gear manager to reinstall the apk. Sync your G2 to your mobile phone. Good luck!
