So, I have my Gear unlocked and all with Null_ (and have had for some time) but now that the coolness factor has worn off a little, I'm kind of wondering what exactly to do with it. I am on US AT&T so I don't have bluetooth tethering (and I'm not sure my plan would support it anyway) so I'm wondering what apps others have put on their Gear that do not require internet, are not games and are worth having?
I've got a disc golf scoring app and a few live backgrounds. Really the scoring app makes it all worth it, but what else is there? Thanks for the suggestions!
I installed a calculator, calendar and to do list.... None require the internet but make the watch much more functional.

Another good one is Fat Finger Calculator, fits the small screen very well.

I use the basic Google calendar. The month view works fine for me. The first time I set up my Rom and bluetooth tether it imported everything I needed. Plus the widget works on the Gears favorite apps menu.

Use Modern calculator as the developer as optimized it for our Samsung Gear
Other apps i use is Office Suite v7 and view some word docs as notes and Focus Trainr
Digital clock disc widget works well for a simple clock.
I cant wait to see this list at Christmas time. Cant wait to get my gear

I would love to know more! I am assuming this done with a rooted customer ROM? How exactly are you setup?
What I want is to run Endo on a watch. I don't mind tethering the GPS, as my phone will be in my FuelBelt. If the Gear can make that happen. I will get that!

Either way, phone or antenna. I just want a watch that will run Endo and use GPS. It seems the Gear just might do that. Seeing as how I have a Note 2, I will have to give the Gear a serious look.

I've lost my bt gps antenna somewhere in my house. If i will find it I could try it for you.
Anyone else install SlingPlayer out of curiosity? It installs and works well w/ BT tethering. The one thing I cannot seem to change is the app auto-rotates the image 90 degrees, so you have to take the watch off to watch it. Is there an Xposed mod or another way of rotating the image back?

You can set orientation with app settings (xposed module).
Would have never guessed this works well? Which slingbox do you have? I'm very doubtful that the stream would be good enough via BT tethering?
I am also running slingbox..... It will take a minute to adjust to the speed but after that it works great! Only negative is battery..... but really That's a given!

Worked great. Thanks! And thanks for the great ROM also!
This surprisingly works really well. Is anybody else unable to change the channel using the keybpard though? The right column is practically gone, you can't use the "3, 8, and enter."
Is anyone able to post a picture of sling player running in their gear? I don't doubt that it works just want to see the scale of it. I think it is pretty freaking awesome to have TV on your watch.

Not a very clear picture, but this was one of the playoff games from this weekend.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post that. Looks like I sold my gear a bit too soon. Probably would have kept it if I had come across this sooner. Oh well!

IP Camera Viewer
Since it's a similar idea, I figure I would just add this to the Slingbox post. I also set up IP Camera Viewer with success on the Gear. Now I can view my home cams from my watch as well.

I used it while at work to watch a playoff game! I was able to keep on working because my hands were free..... I would listen to the game and glance over at it when I heard the crowd or announcers speak up, Of course this is not practical for every job type!

Some would say "why???"

I mean it's absolutely rediculous... Why would you want to watch it on your watch???
But it does run extremely smooth. No hiccups or stutters. I watched a 22min show just to test it out. Picture looks surprisingly good too.
I don't think id watch another show on it... It's more for bragging rights lol

Haven't thought of that! So in theory you can install mx player and then put in a movie and watch it on the watch?
That's hilarious.
I wish there were working bluetooth speakers on this, then this would make this the ultimate smart watch. But one can only dream....

Hi
I've had my pebble smartwatch for a at least 4 months now and I like it. I recently updated to V2.0 and everything looked good. My only gripe was that there was no way to display the watch battery status until now. I was today browsing for some new watchfaces and I came across this:
http://www.mypebblefaces.com/apps/852/7111/
I know it works only with iOS devices. I have the "Glance" app on my android phone and like it, but I would appreciate if someone knows of a way to get this particular watchface using "Glance" (or any other method).
I'm also open to other similar watchfaces that display both the pebble battery status and my phone battery status.
Help appreciated.. Thanks

You can try creating your own Glance customization. You need to pay for that (premium) but you could end with something similar to that. I don't see why you need to know the battery at all times, just press the mid button on Glance and you'll have the battery on the top-right corner...
That is easily made using canvas, most likely somebody has made one you modify to suit your needs

That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.
I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.
Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?
Just got this phone and never messed around with any of thoose kind of settings anyways.

Did you give any app pemissions in accessibility. If you did read this image i attached. When you give some apps permission Samsung has some issues sometimes with the voice kicking on but Samsung actually had a work around built right into the phone.
Have recreated your problem just do the work around which the phone does for you.

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.
Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

You have to click on the settings button thats below whatever app you would have given permission look at my pic i posted you will see the settings listed at the bottom but since you say you didn't do that then there is no workaround. Did you turn on a app you didn't necessarily had to do it in accessibility some apps will just do it automatically. Can you tell me what apps you may have installed that help with battery or after market lockscreen just anything you can think of

NOTE 4
On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.
