Hi, I just got a Gear 2 Neo and instead of using it with my Galaxy S4, I decided to use it with my LG G2. Just wanna share my experience here for someone else has the need which is similar to mine.
I could get it working with my LG G2 with full notification by installing the following APK of Gear Manager: http://www.mediafire.com/download/yo17ta4qyrx50zj/GearManager1_2.apk
However, without the ability to install S-Health, my activities like step counts, heart rate... doesnt get to be synced to my phone. And one more thing, I could check the update and found the new update but when I chose to install, the app got forced closed.
Love the Gear 2 Neo so far!!!
Connected to HTC M8 and it works great.

Does step count work? I'm assuming it only works on the watch, and not the phone.
Installed on a sony z1 and worked out of the box !
Thanks !!
Now I need to find how to load other apps

Have any of you tried Gear Manager version 1.7.040401 on your non Samsung phone? I keep getting an error when I try to (re)pair my HTC M8 with the Gear 2 Neo.
It works just fine with the Gear Manager posted on the OP, though (aside from the crashes when I try to update the Gear 2 Neo).

Crashes in the update software is understandable, we don't have samsung store... It works flawlessly here using the op apk.
A few minor glitches left, like s -health not working or notification for some apps showing only the app name and not the content (xabber for example), some missing apps like weather (tw dependancy), or no way to install third party apps like the sleep tracker (nobody released it, it's only on samsung store).
Appart from above, all functions of the watch are supported and working !

With the Galaxy Manager posted on the OP, the Gear 2 Neo will *probably* work out of the box. I said probably, because I've only tested it with the HTC One M8. I don't have any other Android phone I can test with at the moment.
To be fairly honest, I haven't spent too much time checking out all the features that work (and don't), but if I recall correctly:
• Notifications from the phone will be forwarded to the G2N just fine; this includes most third party applications (like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Hangouts, etc.)
• Contacts and Dialer, and I was able to make a call from the G2N (this goes through my M8)
• Find My Device (both G2N and M8 can "ping") each other
What doesn't work:
• Gallery (doesn't show any picture at all)
• Music Player (to be honest, not sure what it really does either)
• S-Voice will not work, in any under circumstances with non-Samsung phones, due to missing dependencies (TouchWiz Framework, and the S-Voice itself, which also relies on TouchWiz).
• Gear Updater, which crashed whenever you try to update your Gear through Gear Manager. There might be alternative ways to update your G2N though… but that's just theories at the moment.
• Weather, as it also relies on another Samsung-only app.
Limited Functionality
• Pedometer, Sleep Tracker, Exercise and other S-Health related features are limited to just the G2N. You can still record the data, but you can't sync or send it to the phone, as the these S-Health related data can only be viewed using S-Health (and this is limited to just Samsung phones only)
I can't remember what the latest update for the G2N is, but I believe it added Sleep Tracker (which has Do Not Disturb mode on it, or whatever the Samsung equivalent to DND)

Maybe you could sync using s-health lite posted on xda with the latest g2n fw. It was not working with mine but I don't have sleep tracker nor DND so I must have an earlier fw...

It seems that S-Health Lite has another dependencies related to Samsung Account; because it appears that it wants me to log-in to Samsung Account. And without logging in, the app is useless and not pulling/displaying data from the G2N.
Edit:
I went into a Rogers store and I updated my G2N using their S5, so I am on the latest firmware.
I got it to connect to my LG G2 and I get no notification pushed to the watch. Nothing is being pushed to the watch for notification. I can place a call with the gear but nothing else.

Not that I notice anything monumental on saving juice. Maybe, there would be a significant change once my S4 is on 4.3 JB cuz I know I can check notifications, use S-voice as it's meant to be and what not so less time unlocking the phone and screen usage... although phone's BT is running all the time so Gear could remain tethered to it but i believe it's BT 4.0 LE*, right?
*LE, Low Energy... though am not sure it's got a real world impact or just a marketing scheme...

Alright, so I have been tinkering with my watch and have a few questions. I have rooted my watch and installed busy box, and all is going well so far. Additionally, I am using my watch with my S4, rather than my Note 3. I wanted this topic to be more of a few questions and general discussion/clarification.
I have installed the newest Gear Manager and when I go to Weather on the watch I get "Add city to weather widget on mobile device" but it never seems to sync. I have added a location to the weather widget. Is this by chance just a feature thats not quite working on the S4 yet, or am I missing something?
Pedometer - When I try to send my steps to SHealth it fails to sync. Also, known S4 issue, or missing something?
Gear Manager - Unable to install apps - When I navigate to My Apps > Featured > MyFitnessPal for Samsung Galaxy Gear (or any other app), I select Install, and I get "Product does not exist in this store(4002)". Im guessing this is because the Samsung store is reading my S4 build.prop and determining there are no compatible apps.
In re the last topic, could someone send me the APK from their watch for this app, Ill side load it.
I am at the office and want to install some apps via ADB, but don't have my cradle handy. Is there any way to get an APK to the watch that anyone can think of?
I am working on recompiling the stock camera app that does not have the shutter sound. Ill share when I get it done.
Update: Here is a thread with all of the APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468522

I had installed the other email app 4.4(?) and had it working, but it would repeat notifications and stack 2 or 3 together if they came in close to the same time. I am not sure on the original email if there are any issues, but the test I sent myself came through perfectly. Will update tomorrow after I see if all holds up without dups or stacking.

If you're running null ROM upgrade with caution - it'll wipe most customizations and you'll need to resync and reinstall them (just like when you change between multiple phones).

I am on Verizon and got the fix they just released for Android 4.3. After the fix update my S4 downloaded the new gear manager (1.5.120601). I have been using the UK version of MK7 to get the extended notifications but had the broken Crporate Exchange email problem with the stock email. The new Gear Manager seems to have addressed this issue. I have been receiving exchange email notification on the Gear again and they include the email body.
It doesnt appear that I received an update to the firmware on the Gear (still UK version of MK7 that I loaded via Odin). Will post back more after I get a chance to look deeper into the new gear manager.

Similar setup here. Now getting the first few lines of my corporate exchange email when previously I received the 'must read this on your device' message. AT&T Note 2 (leaked stock 4.3) and UK MK7. Only change made was an update this version of Gear Manager.
I just updated looks like the ui is changed a little and you do lose the pictures and name of contact that show when you receive a call.. I just rolled mine back.
My Note 3 cannot connect after update!
I just updated to 1.5.120601, it did a software update on my Gear too. But i was already in UAMK7. It wiped all my data too. Had to do it, otherwise it didn't want to pair my Gear with S4.

Right when I was going to press start on Odin I get an email about this post.... I guess I'll hold off now.
It seems nobody has noticed new Gear Manager connect to any Android 4.3 on. I test with Xperia Z1 updated with Kitkat and tested with HTC Butterfly 4.3. Calls and notificatications work fine
Want to elaborate a bit more on your setup?

Ya I had it installed and working once by installing apks from different versions but I could not get notifications to work including using atn. The watch is just sitting here until I can find a fix

I have a Galaxy S4 but would love to not have this TW Rom anymore and move to Cyanogen or something. So....it's still not possible to have all the features working on the Gear if I move from TW? I really want to keep my watch stock.

Correct. Although wether watch is stock or not makes no difference
yeah, could you elaborate ? I got a replacement phone (a xperia sp) which is up to date. So I think that it should be quite similar to your z1. I'm on 4.3 too. How did you get it work ? I only managed to have a full connection with v1.6.111801 of gear manager, and still notifications weren't working.
How did you do with latest gear manager ? I tried by installing only, or everything... and can't get it connecting to the gear. Just stays on first screen "connecting to gear..."
Any help ?
I'm interested to know as well.. I'm looking at getting the Z2 and would love it to work with my Gear
great
You make my day mig1421, I`m finally no need to replace my moto g with any Samsung.
Loving this.
Anyone care to tell me the latest version of gear manager version and a link possibly? Just ordered a gear 1 yesterday for $99. Don't have it yet but doing my homeworl

So the gear will work on any device running the touchwiz launcher and Gear Manager or just Gear Manager? I use Nova Launcher and would prefer to stick with it especially if I change to a non-samsung phone

Launcher has nothing to do with gear manager, touchwiz framework is necessary although in this topic people are saying the new update is less dependant on touchwiz.. you can use any launcher you want it has nothing to do with the files needed to run gear manager..

You definitely don't need a Samsung phone to have the phone work with the Gear. I've had my Gear running with a Moto E and a Moto G - neither of them were rooted or modded in any way. I just installed the latest Gear Manager from a link on here after updating my Gear to Tizen. It's worth mentioning that I was running an old version of Gear Manager originally and my battery wouldn't even last half a day. Since I installed the latest version I'm getting days of use out of it -- having activated only Tweeting, Hangouts, WhatsApp and Gmail for notifications and turned off the auto activate backlight feature. It's four days since I charged and I'm still on 72%
None of the Samsung apps show up on the phone if it isn't Touchwiz based - so there's no S-Voice or Weather. I can use the Bluetooth Trusted Device feature on my Moto to have my phone turn PIN off when my Gear is connected to it.

Good to hear. My last question: Will you still be able to use the speakerphone to make and answer phone calls with a non-Samsung phone?

Yes. I do it all the time. The only difference between doing it on a non Touchwiz phone compared with a Touchwiz phone is that the phone sees it as a handsfree device so will answer on the Gear by default, even if you hit the answer button on the phone. You just need to tap the little icon next to the 'End Call' button on the Gear though and it will route the call back to the handset. You can also tap the bluetooth icon on the dialer and switch the source to earpiece or speakerphone. Bit of an annoyance but not a particular problem.
Has anyone tried installing tizen apps from the Samsung Apps store (start it from the Gear Manager), since they updated their gear1 to run on Tizen?
I'm just wondering if my Multi-Watch app is available for the gear 1 and runs on it withoud problems.

Hi klwinkel
I am unable to see your app in the store for some reason? I would very much like to try it if you could help me please.
I have the gear1 upgraded to tizen within the last hour.

Thanks, lol, I actually already cleared both data/cache from your response in other thread because I thought that's what you meant. So this time I did it for "Watchstyler", loaded back into Gear Manager and it still didn't show. So I ran watchstyler app on phone, then went back into Gear Manager.... Clocks, still not showing.

I dunno. Must be a problem with my phone Galaxy S4 or the ROM I'm on but doesn't make sense, everything else involving Gear Manager works flawlessly.

Wait, this part I don't get. I just uninstalled WatchStyler from watch then re-downloaded and installed again. Is this the part I am fudging up?

Wondering if my problem with WatchStyler not appearing in Gear Manager is because I rooted my Gear on Tizen?

I suppose I could but would cause a little bit of pain getting things set up again.
I opened my own thread to see if any others have the problem and if a solution arises.

So, the number of apps for gear1-Tizen is increasing?
Slowly, some watch styler created faces for android are a bit crazy now with tizen, I.e. the artwork and analogue hands etc off centre miss aligned. Most of my favorite wsthemes work though.
