I am thinking of installing the Google Play ROM on my Galaxy S4 running KitKat.
My only woe is if there is compatibility with doing this with my Galaxy Gear (1st Generation) watch.
Anyone have some incite?
Thanks!

Compatibility will be the same like on a NON Samsung device. Many threads here tinker around with that case.

Didn't see this here yet.... shoot me if it is.

If you wanted live out your Inspector Gadget fantasies, but lacked the Galaxy Note 3 needed to take full advantage of the possibilities, we've got good news. Samsung's bringing compatibility for its Galaxy Gear to the previously-mentioned Galaxy S 4 as well as the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II through an Android 4.3 update. While those are the big ones, the wearable will soon hook up to a whole swathe of Samsung devices (Galaxy S4 Mini, S4 Active, Mega 5.8, Mega 6.3, and Galaxy S4 Zoom) in an update arriving at the end of October. Naturally, the typical proviso for different release dates in different countries remains, but those flagship devices mentioned earlier will get the earliest access -- and will also be able to make and answer calls with the Gear, like a real inspector.

Hopefully sooner than later I can use my GNII with the Gear.
This is great.. hopefully I can get it to work finally. So far installing the .apk on my mega hasn't been successful. Always stuck in syncing.

You can use your Galaxy Note 2 with your GEAR via Android 4.3 as the following link for downloading rom : https://www.4shared.com/zip/CJdXMW_o...100XXEM16.html

Then you can use Note2 with GEAR,,
*** Wanna know your Note2 code is : N7100 ?? If yes, GO FOR IT. If not ... you have to wait.
I have been trying to hard to find a rom of 4.3 to use on my sprint s4 but the only one i find is real buggy with sms....anyone else have a sprint version s4 and found a rom.....
So to clarify: which device will get an update for Gear to work on it? Does the Gear or whatever device (S3, S4, etc) need the update for gear to work with it? I don't see that specific piece of info.
It was already posted. And we already knew that 4.3 rom = gear support (however supposedly that wasn't official if this is the official confirmation?!?)

This isn't quite new, but regardless: It only works with the international version.
Also, your post just reeks of bot/scam/annoying-ads

Hi
I have Note 2 running stock rom updated to Android 4.3.
Planning to get the Gear 2 / Neo . My decision to buy the same is basically because of the health options i.e. pedometer, heart rate monitor etc. which sync to S Health.
However, as note 2 does not have S-Health, will we get an upgrade from Samsung to use the watch to its fullest.
Thanks
I have the exact same question. I'm running Omni ROM 4.4.2 and hope I can make the Gear 2 Neo work with it.

I take no credit for this, but did some digging and found the APK for you:

Install that guy and you're good to go. I would assume Samsung will eventually release the app officially for all supported devices, or maybe the Gear will have a download for it.. either way, you should be good.
On my US Verizon Note 2, I just received an over the air update providing an integration app. called: "Fitness with Gear", so looks like someone is listening...

My experience with neo on stock rom is better than the 4.2.2. ROMS which are all based on google bluetooth drivers, which are not very good.
On stock you have way better bluetooth connection, no lag while playing music from neo etc.
As for the health options, they're not very good at the moment and I would not recommend you to buy neo if you want accurate health tracking.

Can somebody confirm if this works? I think you need one of the latest updates from Shealth to make it work with gear2.
updated version of s-health
latest update of s-health for S5:

I'm wondering about this too. I hope stock Android Galaxy Gear will work with old version of Galaxy Manager on Note 4... but I do not think so - Gear VR will require an update of the whole framework I guess..
Do not test other friends ?
It's just really important to me .
Can connect with Android 's firmware ?
Stock gear 1 (tizen) with stock note 4 works without problem as other devices, sometimes gear act weird and battery drain for it self and note 4 but that even happened with note 2.
And whats up with friend's friend !!!!!!
Note 2 & SM-V700

Hi all
I have the Note 2 working really well with the SM-V700 gear watch on tizen, the only prob so far I can't find a Lollipop version to work with these two devices, I am running the DN4 v2.1 on the note 2, you need a third party samsungs app installed to allow you to download the gear manager.
Hope this helps at least one person
I have a note 4 N910C and gear SM-700V both work great together and sync very well with gear manager
but now I was trying update to tizen and now my gear is bricked

So you can use gear with dn4 v2.1 without no problem? I have same issue too.
will the 1st gen Samsung gear watch work with my galaxy note 4 .
I been haveing problem Bluetooth my Samsung gear watch with my galaxy note 4
Saying not compatible when pairing. Help please. Feeling like i bought this for no reason and its not working with my note 4 . Any info is helpfull.
I was wondering about the situation for custom ROMs on the Gear Live. Also wondering about apps on the watch, any really good ones.
Are you asking because your are interested in buying a Gear Live? The only custom ROM that I am aware of is Octamod Wear, but the ROM is based off of Kitkat, and it soft bricked my Gear Live. But you can get a TWRP recovery and root your device, but super user wont work. I love my Gear Live, but if you are looking for ROMs then go with the LG G Watch.

So the best Android Watch with custom ROM/Community support is the LG G Watch? Looking to buy.
Well I've just bought a gear live and was wondering if there's a way of getting gear s2 or s3 software on it?
