I just got the Gear and saw a video online showing someone using it with their S4. I couldn't get the app. Its not available on the Samsung apps store or Google Play. Anyone else get it working?

I have it with my S4 and can find and download the Gear Manager in Samsung APPS. Search for Gear and find "Samsung GALAXY Gear Manager".
Not everything working but ok.

I'm using Gear with my Galasy S4 and already when i was on 4.2.2 i found Gear manager at Samsung Apps.but now with leaked firmware 4.3 all works like a charm.
[Gear with Galaxy S4 or Any Galaxy Series] ... First of all, Galaxy Gear will only works with Galaxy (with Android 4.3), but at the moment they are with Android 4.2.2, so ... you will check out the apps for Gear and your Galaxy HERE below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476319
You will find all the apps (at the moment), and the main app to connect your Device with Gear is ... GEAR Manager (you need to download this first.
Good luck!

4.2.2 no go for S-Voice
Guess, this what shows up when your phone isn't on 4.3 JB, right?

Are you sure in 4.3 everything works. Because I tried 2 different touchwiz 4.3 roms. And none of them worked. Gear manger said device was not supported

I'm running Hyperdrive on my s4 and the svoice notification is as far as I get too. I'm tempted to try a 4.3 and see if anything works better

It works but not everything. S VOICE, weather, txt and email alert doesn't work on me using a 4.2.2 rom.
Media control, answer/make calles, change watch face, install apps via apk not using thw samsung app store all work. I'm sure that are other things that work and other things that don't work. I just can't remember all right now

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
Thanks!
I got every thing working on my gs4, including svoice, text notification, and weather by using the 4.3 rom. I also downloaded the latest gear manager from a post in this forum and ot seems to work great, including allowing me to download apps from samsung.
Gear is rooted, running smart launcher, a few games, camera silent hack, and everything is still working.

Any cyanogenmod S4 users have any success using the gear ?
This is a weird one. Since gear manager updated today I've noticed feedly disappearing. I didn't connect the two until now. If I install feedly and then at any time afterward open gear manager, feedly is immediately uninstalled from my n3. Can anyone replicate this?

Same here. It's uninstalled it 3 times for me today. I just installed it again, opened GM and it vanished. That's the strangest damn thing...
Yeah, they only reinstall if you select restore when setting up device again. Has been like that for last couple versions

It's not the GEAR version, it's the full app that it removes from the Note. I don't think there's a GEAR version of Feedly out yet

Also, FU Sammy for not having the US GG ROM ready to actually make this update useful for notifications.

The only non root solution I can think of is to get everything set up in gear manager the way you want it and then install feedly. As long as you don't open the gear manager ui again feedly will be fine.

Hi, same problem here, any fix should come from feedly or samsung?
Ciao
Same Issue plus
Yeah...I'm having the same issue ever since the update.
I also no longer get a full display of my notifications.
I have the note 3. Both the n3 and the gear are stock.
This is a strange one. Not only does it remove feedly, but every app I installed after the original feedly install. For me it's watch faces and zd alarm. All my other apps stay on the gear. I'm going to sit tight on feedly installs for now as its fine on my tablet.

If you're rooted, move the feedly app to /system/app either manually or with titanium backup. If you're not rooted, set everything up the way you want it in gear manager and then install feedly and avoid opening the gear manager ui again, as this is what prompts the uninstall.

Ok, an update...not sure if it's the custom ROM (I installed Darth Stalker Note 3 ROM) but now Feedly in no longer be uninstalled.
I was told if I root my gear I can use bluetooth tether and essentially run apps on my gear. The apps I'm looking to run are for my car alarm and ingress. So what I was wondering is what I was told true? And do I just have to root my gear or does my phone have to be rooted as well? Because right now I have the Note 3 completely stock and unrooted.

You dont need to root your gear in order to run custom apps, depending on what type of app it is tho they may or may not work..
I would read up on side loading applications first, test the waters out.. the apps you require may work straight out of the box by simply side loading them to your gear with out rooting.
Alternatively if you find the apps dont work, you can try loading my rom which includes a few library's, unlocked features & other various functions that some apps require in order to run correctly.
EDIT: Here is a simple guide on how to sideload applications: HERE

Awesome thank you! I'll have to read up on how you sideload apps. I saw a YouTube video where guy was actually playing ingress on his watch, what was on his phone screen transferred to watch screen same for his car alarm app, he just didn't say if it was rooted or not I just figured it was lol. Sorry had to edit my post. I do think you probably needs to be rooted to run something like ingress since it's an online game and the gear can't run anything online like a game or Facebook so I guess maybe that's why it has to be rooted and use a Bluetooth transfer lol I'm a very big newbie when it comes to the gear.

Bluetooth tethering is the easiest way. If you root your watch you can actually install play store and download as if it's a tablet tethered. Some apps may need to be wifi spoofed with is a xposed module included in null.
Keep in mind your phone needs to be running an international rom. I had to get rid of my T-Mobile rom for an international to enable Bluetooth tethering. Wasn't the watch holding me back, rather the phone itself

I recently installed the Omni 4.4.2 20140306-tolte-NIGHTLY on my Tmo GN2 because I need the Bluetooth tethering option. However, I need Samsung Hub so I can install gear manager on my phone. I tried installing the apk file with no success. Can someone please help?

I'd bet this is yet another case of Samsung designing software to break on anything than their own firmware.
Most likely. I've read that as long as I have a deodexed international custom ROM, I can make it work. The international ROM gives me the Bluetooth tethering option I need and a deidexed version skies me to install Samsung apps.

The whole point of many people working on projects such as Cyanogenmod and Omni on Samsung devices is to remove all of Samsung's bloatcrap.
In the case of Gear - Why would anyone purchase it when there are cheaper and better options that are fully compatible with all Android devices instead of Samsung's restricted bull****?
It's utterly stupid that the Gear, which (given all of its onboard processing resources) should be able to operate in a more standalone fashion than any of the other smartwatches out there is, instead, the MOST dependent on its host device!
I appreciate the feedback. When I purchased the Galaxy Gear, I guess I assumed I could make it do what I wanted to do since we all pretty much have those capabilities when it comes to rooting and third party custom ROMs. I'm sure there is another way, a back door, if you will to get through installing gear manager. My first thought was to find the APK file and install it that way, but the procedures I've tried doesn't seem to work. If there isn't a way yet, then this is something for the techies to try and sort out.

I think I might've found it, but I can't verify because I don't have my gear with me, but I searched aptoide, found gear manager and installed it to my phone. I'll reply later if this works with my device.

Hello, just wanted to share that I had a friend send me a gear2 app (.wgt) file that was not in the Samsung app store available for the gear1. I installed the app on my gear one via PC CMD - non rooted and the gear2 app works perfectly on my gear1, I have done this with 2 apps already! I don't understand why Samsung limits gear1 apps that will work just fine.. Is there a website where I can download more gear 2 apps (.wgt)? I searched online and found a few direct downloads to side load. Just looking for more... Thanks!

How did you do it? I Have the gear 1 running Tizen apps, there are not many apps, please share how you got more apps, [email protected]. thanks
I installed [ROM][I9505][XXUGNG4] Samy Deluxe S5 Style Operation Ivy and all of a sudden got a ton of apps for the Galaxy Gear Tizen in the store.
Don't know what has changed, but there's loads of apps. So something in the phone tells the store what apps to show... Anyone have a real S5 with a Gear and loads of apps?
Btw, if you install that rom on an S4 you need to fiddle a bit to get S Health to sync. Not sure what I did, but it worked. Installed Fitness with Gear, removed goprovider.apk and updated Gear Manager again with Galaxy Apps and it worked... Anyway
What probably changed is your build prop. A common way of getting more apps is spoofing the model number of an s5.
So long as your rooted you won't need to flash anything.
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2810782
