Where's all the Gear Fit people. - Samsung Galaxy Gear

It seems all the Best Buy stores are sold out, yet I don't see a lot of people discussing the fit. I was able to track one down from a sprint store.
I love the thing.
I can't seem to find if it has the ability to double tap screen to do things.
How do you guys like the fit?

Its pretty cool. I'm using it on my nexus and got most of the features working. I don't know what that double tap feature is. When you double tap with two fingers it opens the settings menu. And when you press the home button 2 times it opens whatever you have it set to. Maybe that helps.

What features aren't working on your Nexus? I was thinking of flashing an aosp ROM, but did not want to lose functions. How are notifications?

Full Customization Double Tap Home

Not sure if anyone else found this or if it is in other ROMs but in 2.3.4 HKTW ROM you can customize the app launched by double tapping the home button to whatever you want. You just need to change the line 'double_tap" in the settings storage (com.motorola.blur.providers.settings) settings.db. It requires you to put in the <full app name>/<full app process> (not sure the way I said that is right) like com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.im/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.im.YahooMessenger
Just realized I probally should have put this in general not Dev....sorry. Dev's if you can put this into an app or something that be sweet too.
I thought you can change that in settings in froyo.. Can you not in gb?
Xda app via atrix
In stock froyo for ATRIX there was a limited number of options for double tapping home

sorry, i don't want to be the bad guy, but i have seen this on all stock firmwares...nothing new, just another great "dev" post, like the haptick feedback one...
please let keep this forum clean for real developing mods. Use general for discovered little things.

Ooo I see. Cool I can maybe launch swipe pad with this.

Yea thank you for explaining to me that which I already mentioned in my own post (That it should have went in General).
what is the string if i want to set phone wakeup/sleep if double tap
I don't think you can. Problem is two fold.
1) you need an app to call
2) the touchscreen turns off when the screen is off and if this did not happen then it would cost a lot of battery life.

Agile Lock Screen - CM7

Guys, saw someone else post this in the Development forum and thought I would post here. Basically the sense 3.0 Lockscreen but I cannot seem to get it to work. I'm guessing it's something within my settings but if one of you gets it working please let me know. Always nice to have options!

I like the ripple lock :-D
I have it working. Click on the app in your app drawer and then click start. Thats it! I think I may buy it that way I can adjust everything. For those who bought it, you can change the icons right?

thats strange...try uninstalling and reisntall it or you can try a restart of your phone. something goofy is acting up. I haven't seen too many complains like that in the reviews so I would try one of those things I mentioned.

Yah I tried that before too, I'm thinking it may have something to do with my cm lock screen settings that are conflicting with this. I'm using the lense.

Having the same issue with having to use the volume to unlock. Tried it on a fresh install of 1.3 with no luck. We've gotta figure this out, paid and free versions don't work.

Sounds great, I would love to get this to work and I'll continue to play with it.
Interestingly enough, when I disable the Status Bar in the Agile Lock settings everything works as it should. Of course this is only available in the paid version.
This work for anyone else?

Cool Jelly Bean trick!!!

I was just playing around with my Nexus 7 and I came across a neat and convenient trick to dispose of a app from the app drawer that you may have mistakenly selected and you only get three options uninstall, app info or simply drop the app on the home screen of your Nexus device. Well, there's a fourth option! Simply long press a app from your home screen or app drawer. Then, fling your finger that's holding down the app down up and release! That's it! From the home screen you don't have to take a app all of the way up to the white x remove then red release delete. From the bottom or where ever that app is on your screen you want to remove or replace, just press and hold the app you want to remove, fling your finger in motion down then up release and watch it fly away off of your screen! I think this only works with Jelly Bean, but this my friend is very convenient!

I can add another cool trick: slide up from the bottom of the screen where the 3 buttons are to bring up the Google search. Neat.
Another cool trick in Jelly Bean. Settings > About Tablet/Phone > Android Version (tap repeatedly for surprise)

It shows a lockscreen-style circle for that. Kinda unnecessary, but cool. A quick swipe up from the home button works just as well.

There's an easter egg in the settings app. Go into "about tablet". Tap the version number many times. After that, press and hold the Jelly Bean.

That is actually launching Google Now. If you do not have search history turned on for your google account, you will only see a google search.
If you have history, it will show more information cards.
I'm not quite sure if you're serious or you're really just now discovering the features marketed in the presentations.

Not everyone watched the presentations. No reason to be unnecessarily mean. I thanked him since I didn't know about the trick at all and these types of threads are awesome.
couldnt do it for the life of me and figured it must be a N7 thing only at the moment. But then I re-read the directions on how to do it... derp:silly:
Thanks guys for your help hints!

If you long press either the back button or the multi-window button (I forget the technical name of it) and swipe up it will bring up google now as if you were holding down the home button.

Recent apps

Anyone else noticed that if you hold two fingers on any screen on the Gear you get a list of recently opened apps?
Much quicker to navigate this way sometimes.
You can also close the apps by swiping each one to the left.
Awesome tip. I didn't know that. Thanks.
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda app-developers app
Hmm ... Too bad that we can't clear the open apps.
I think we will see a lot of changes from Samsung with the gear. They rushed it to market, imho, without it being very mature. But then every new device has this issue.
I remember when people were complaining that the amount of available apps for Android paled in comparison to the iSuck devices.

You can also double tap
I knew about this but also if you double tap 2 fingers you get instant shortcut to volume / brightness settings and battery level
Wow this is a nice tip. Is this something that was in the manual that came with the device. I never read them
Doesn't this tip appear on menu that came with the box?

Hi, I have a Note 3 that I just rooted. I installed bri315317's Dynamic Kat 1.4 and GravityBox. I am trying to configure my double-tap home button, but it's not doing anything. Anyone else running into this issue?

The double tap home has worked on every other ROM for this device and all TW ROMs I used on the S4, but this ROM.
Gravity box does work with TW and the like, they just won't support it if it doesn't function correctly.

Working for Me!
Sorry, I'm a bit late to this thread. I have the Galaxy S4 and I can't guarantee it will work for the Note 3, but I was experiencing this same issue and was able to fix it by simply checking the "open via the home key" in S-Voice. Hope this helps someone else experiencing issues. :laugh:
Wow! This waa driving me insane. I had it working perfectly on my Note 2 ans when I set up my Note 4 I had the recent apps list showing when I double tapped the home key. Then I started checking out rhe device and out of nowhere, the double tap stopped working. I can't tell you how much time I've spent on it. I eveb sat there with my Note 2 and compared every single setting and they were identical to one another. The second I read your response I literally face palmed myself. I vividly remember unchecking the box as I waa going through the settings because I wasn't using it anyway and it was around the same time it stopped working. It goes without saying that it was tbe issue. I suppose it needs to be set in order to be manipulated by GB. Sorry for the long post but I'm thrilled to have it working and wanted you to know you helped.

Man i registered on this forum only to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! That's genious, i would never ever remember i turned this feature off in S Voice on my Galaxy Note 3 SM9005 and that it can affect doubletap. BTW the other program PBMC (Physical Button Music Control) can override it but it has ugly delay for every Menu keypress option
