As android wear launcher.apk need kitkat. So if we want android wear on our gear.
IMO the easiest way is just compile S2's CM11 on Galaxy gear.
As it use same exynos 421x soc and Gear bootloader isn't lock.
Why nobody just port CM11 to our gear?

Hello,
I have a somewhat related question to this forum....it's about the Samsung NX2000 camera. Anybody familiar with it?
I'm wondering if this camera could be hacked/rooted to install android OS?
See my thinking below
Here is the camera:
http://www.samsung.com/us/photography/digital-cameras/EV-NX2000BFWUS-specs
It's some kind of Samsung OS, but not android.
But it is a camera that connects wirelessly to android phones - transferring photos to the phone & the phone wirelessly controlling the camera.
Recently Samsung released the source code for this phone:
http://www.tizenexperts.com/2013/06/samsung-nx300-nx2000-source-code-out-time-hack-camera/
This may be a way for some of you amazingly talented programmers to understand what the camera is built upon.
And of course everybody is familiar with the Samsung Galaxy Camera.
And now, Samsung has announced that there is a newly coming Samsung Galaxy NX camera that natively has android OS on it:
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-nx-android-camera-expected-20-june-50011499/
So with all that, I'm guessing the price of the older NX2000 will drop soon because the Galaxy NX will be the hot new thing & I'm wondering if there would be a way to use the Galaxy NX OS on the NX2000?
What do you smart peoples think?
Thanks,
GMP
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'm interested in app developement for stock Galaxy Gear 1. However, I searched for SDKs and there were only tools for Gear with Tizen.
My question is: is there any mechanism similar to Sony SmartWatch 2 for creating and installing apps? The only thing I found is that I need to root my watch, and/or instal Tizen or somehow sideload apps. Is that really the only way of creating (installing) apps?
The gear 1 was released with android, and now it's been updated to Tizen. So the Tizen sdk is what you're looking for. Any app development for the gear 1 on android would be outdated.
When the gear 1 was on android, wondershare was a great way of uploading apps and moving files. Now that it's on Tizen, sideloading is the easiest because wondershare doesn't work with Tizen.

So, if I understand you properly - Gear 1 is now working on Tizen, therefore all app development is quite the same as on Gear 2, right? Everything on developer.samsung.com/samsung-gear (sorry for not posting a proper link, I'm new ad XDA) applies also to Gear 1?
This is important to me, because in my job there is an idea to start creating apps on wearables, right now I'm doing something on SmartWatch 2, and we are planning to test other platforms. For some reason we have Samsung Gear 1 so I need to know if I should start a new project with it, or is it pointless. (getting newer versions is an option, but ordering them takes a lot of time...)

Yes gear 1 runs on Tizen. If you check sammobile.com it's reffered to as Android 2.2.1.1 Therefore building for gear 1 will be just like building for gear 2! I'm sure there's minor tweeks needed across the two. You can refer to the Tizen sdk for more info.
There's also "android "wear", and it's new "android studio beta". Which will be the new overall android ide. There's 3 devices to build for on this android wear sdk. The Gear live, the Moto 360, and the G Watch. But this android studio might be the band wagon everyone wants to jump on!
Just curious if anyone at all is still working on developing custom roms for the gear? I got it it right before android wear was announced for the sake of null and a camera. If no one is working on getting android wear running, it might be time for me to move on.
+1
wondering the same no more updates from null..
but the gear and all android wear are about the same on developement. gear has stoped and android wear not much to mod.
what is the process of compiling from source for this device? how much of the source is available? i know biktor_gj ported and compiled wear for the gear 2, so perhaps someone could do the same for our little watch if we stop receiving updates.
thoughts?
nobody?
