Hi there,
While playing around with some apps and the Gear i noticed that the Sony Liveware app is able to connect with the Gear. To my surprise it connect without a hitch and the Gear is detected as a smartwatch by the app!
However, after that there isn't much to do with the Liveware app, probably because there is no corresponding app on the Gear to interact with.
This made me wonder: what if we could sideload the necessary apps on the Gear that communicates with the Liveware app?
In *theory* this could give the Gear a lot of extra things to play around with.
It's probably not a simple as it sounds but it's worth a try i guess. I'm afraid i can't test this out since i'm my knowledge of the advanced working of Android is nonexistent. Any developer around that would be so kind to test this :laugh: ?

With the proper extensions (available via Sony or third party dev's in the Play Store) it is able to manage "smart devices" (as Sony calls them).
These include the Sony Smartwatch devices, wireless headphones and headsets.
Since i'm a new poster around here i'm not able to post links yet, but if you search for "Smart Connect (LiveWare™ Mgr)" in the Play Store you will find it.
In the related apps section are various extensions that add functionality to these smart devices.
I was just looking up all the apps for the smartwatch and there are plenty. Could we download these and push the apk with adb? This would add some nice functions for unrooted gears.
somebody should try it out

There's a warning on the Gear Faces website stating not to upgrade Gear Manger because it's not compatible with Watch Styler, and apparently the only change was making it compatible with Gear Live. I too have issues but I haven't tried down grading yet.
any apps that i can download to get a working watch face like the one on the gear s2 but on my phone. I cant find any apps.
My friend will give his old Gear V700 to me. I have old Galaxy Note 2 phone. I think Gear v700 works with Gear Manager app. But Gear Manager app has renamed Galaxy Wearable by Samsung. I cant see Galaxy Gear I v700 support in Galaxy Wearable app descriptions. Will it work Gear v700? Or can I use old Gear Manager apk (downloaded from internet) with Gear v700?
Another question about this :
If I can use Galaxy Wearable with gear v700, can I upload downloaded themes to watch with that app?
Thanks.
It works on my note 3, but not on my op8. I think it needs touchwhiz. If i find a workaround. I'll let you know
Yes, I have a Note 10+ and the original Gear works. It literally just installs the old Gear Manager app.
Hi I have read this should be possible and I have followed the guides to the best of my ability and have downloaded the samsung accessories pack and the modded gear 360 app BUT although the gear 360 seems connected, when I try to do Live View or view the images on the gear 360, it buffers/tries to load endlessly??
