[Q] Galaxy Gear and LG G3 - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hi XDA
Recently i dropped my Galaxy S4, the AMOLED screen broke. Instead of ordering a new screen i got a LG G3 instead. I have the Galaxy Gear which i adore and would like to use it with my G3. Is this possible? I've been away from most recent developments in the community. I was running Null's rom.
I do plan to fix my S4 and get a replacement screen. Which place do you recommend me?

I have n5 an Installed galaxy gear
This is what I used

Wait, i just clicked on the link.
So i just download the GearManager .apk to the G3 and it works out of the box?!
I want it to pair it with Null, not sure if this new versions of GearManager allow me this. Any how my G3 arrives tomorrow.

I know that null is awesome but the notification with atn ( my g3 need it otherwise i had no notification) are not so good....
With tizen after 56 hr from the full charge, always connected, i had 70% of battery left.

I'm going to be picking up the g3 as long as I can get my watch to work with it. Just want to make sure, do the volume controls for media, phone calls, and weather all work for on the g3 and gear? Oh, and also the template replies since s-voice will not work.

Here my guide:
1- uninstall gear manager with all related apks and reboot;
2- install this gear manager;
3- pair the watch with your phone and check that all works correctly;
4- uninstall goprovider and install this
5- re-enable the notication access in phone settings;
that's all.... i also installed this app that works very good and gave me some custom watchfaces...
With the above configuration i have a really good battery drain... always connected i lose about 1% - 2% max for all night.

I installed the Gear into G3, but i'm not getting any notifications. Is there is a way i can get good notifications in the G3???
I mean better than atn, something that worked like my S4....
I installed the Gear . apk and it just connected and worked with my unrooted G3... flawlessly.. just the notifications i'm missing. I'm with null

Google Edition KitKat & The Galaxy Gear

I just tried a KitKat GE rom on my i9505, To my surprise the gear paired up !
You need to make sure you have the relevant gear apks in /system/app.. although it did pair up fine..
I'll give more information on this shortly.. going to verify everything works as intended.
EDIT: To my surprise, the latest version of kitkat comes preloaded with the needed gear manager files.
All that is really needed is accuweather & gear manager and your set!
EDIT 2: In saying that, its no where near stable to be used as a daily driver, random reboots & wifi connectivity issues.
Although its nice to know its being incorporated.
Hmmm...I wonder what files it needs to make notifications work. I'm getting nothing on my Nexus5 even though it is set to send them

Make sure you install gearmanagerstub (I copied to system/app and then ran it to install). Then you need to install the extra apk files separately. All downloads available in link in my sig

Does Everything work? Contacts? dialer etc? Whats the problem with stability? Is it due to the 4.4 ROM you are using or with the gear mangaer? I got a real S4 GE edition and wourld love to have the Gear
For any one in the future going through what I did: YOU NEED THE STUPID " GearManagerStub.apk " for watch to work!!! OMFG what a waste of time to get this working!!!

I was able to get Gear Manager automatically installed on my i9505g as well using the NFC bump.
It seems none of the notifications work other than phone calls. I can't get Gmail or Hangouts to notify the GG. Have you had any luck with this? I was able to enable those notifications in Gear Manager, they just don't work.
Anyone tried it with the recent 4.2.2 update?

Strangely I'm having more trouble installing the Samsung App Store on the GPE rom than Gear Manager. It keeps coming back as app not installed.
This thread has some more info about getting the Samsung App store working with GPE devices

Samsung GPE devices dont need this, they contain touchwiz frameworks..
As per the notifications working, I recently tried to get them working although did not have any luck doing so..
It seems not all the APK's are being installed, media controller provider APK is not installing.. I havnt figured out why !
Also it seems that the services gear manager uses are not starting, may be due to all the initial APK's not being installed I assume..
I believe if we can get all the APK's that gear manager initially installs completed successfully, it will trigger the services to start.

What do you use the gear mostly for?

For all you gear owners out there, after months of using it, would you still recommend it? I'm sure a lot of people are still on the fence about spending 300 dollars for a watch
What are your top 3 uses for your gear?

1. Making sure I hear all my text messages with my custom ring tone. (& and sometimes answering with a custom pre-made template)
2. making sure I hear it ring on an incoming call (with another custom ring tone.)
3, Answering as a speakerphone when a call comes in while I'm driving.
These are the thing I bought it for & it works super. All the other things like weather etc, are just icing on the cake.
Yes, I would buy it again (I bought it on the day it came out) and have recommended it to friends
Does it get annoying having to flick your wrist everytime to check your watch? Or did the recent updates improve everything?

I only got my gear 2 days ago, but I don't understand the wrist flicking thing. My watch turns on when I bring it up into a position to look at it. No flicking required. I think it is great. I can't wait for the update for the notifications. Still deciding if the custom ROM is the way to go. I haven't seen yet if the NULL ROM affects battery life.
To answer op:
1)Notifications
2)time and weather
3)media control
4) shopping checklist. Currently via evernote but I am hoping for google keep app in the future.
5) I would like a qr code / barcode scanner.
1. Picking up chicks (all though not as successful as using glass haha)

What can you do with null rom? I read the page but since I don't have a gear yet am not sure what everything does.
The whole notification for Gmail, SMS, calendar fb and Whatsapp are now displayed thanks to the update right?
Is it possible to sideload Google keep?

Yes, you can sideload anything - even with stock rom. Latest firmware+gear manager means you get notifications from all apps on phone
By using null, you get more of a stock android experience instead of a small/limited menu system from stock touchwiz launcher
Null_ offers stock plus everything in the features list. And if you don't like it, just flash back to stock - simple
Let's just say that I've been testing out a Nexus 5 and because of null, will be returning back to my s4 and the compatibility with gear
1) Time
2) Weather
3) Notifications (I almost never hear or feel my phone notifications.)
4) Phone Calls (Making calls when my hands are doing other things, driving, eating, typing, gaming, etc.)
5) Showing off
It does so much more than my old watch!
And yes, Null_ will make it much more useful, but I did EVERYTHING (root and flash ROM) last night before bed so IDK. Battery seems to be unchanged.

If you are not on a custom ROM I believe that's what it does. I can't remember. With Null_ you can read the message and it gives you the option to open on the phone. I believe it gives you the option either way. I am trying to remember because I was on US stock version (Not sure about the number) then flashed UK version (V700XXUAMK7) but was on it for like 5 minutes before flashing Null_.

Oh true. I just watched a video and yea it's the same. Since I went from US version to UK version then Null_. I wasn't on the UK version long enough to notice the notifications. That's why I thought Null_ made this possible. This isn't the case for those not on the updated UK version. Before flashing the UK version my Gear would only show who it came from and the option to view on device.

Pull gearmanagerstub.apk from a stock samsung rom, the latest you can find.. you will have to manually install all the APK's bundled with gear manager also, best way to get these APK's is by decompiling gear manager and pulling them from the "asests" folder..
Although like I said barely anything works.

As if you weren't aware of this before purchasing the watch ? Hehe..
There are 20 APK's bundled with gear manager, takes 30 seconds to install them.. 2 will not install which are the weather & music control APK's.

Gear with tizen working on non Samsung phones non rooted and rooted

I bought a gear for $99 dollars it's on tizen and I have it working with my sprint htc one m7. The other thread is mixed and I thought it would be good to start a tizen one for non Samsung phones. I'll try to help everyone I can.
If you haven't installed tizen I did it with this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53028751
Ok so if you want your gear on tizen to connect with any phone rooted or not all you need is the newest gear manger apk and gearmanger stub apk but if your not rooted some things won't work .. what will work will be almost everything but calllogs, music controls,svoice,message app only but message notification will work just to make it clear .. and you won't be able to install apps from Samsung store endless you side load them idk how to sorry. Notifications work camera calls everything else works all you do install the gear manger stuff I said like regular apks .. if you want apps from Samsung store there's a tutorial in the gear 2 thread how to do it on non Samsung phones but you need root for that . But if you want what I said just install the apks.. I have my htc m7 Sprint connected to it
"This part works for non rooted and rooted"
Here's the link to get the newest gear Manger and gear Manger stub apks.

Hmm I have a Nexus 5 with the Tizen Gear 1 and my notifications are not working. I have installed v1.7.052101 (Gear 1) and GearManagerStub.

Did you check on notifications in settings, security notifications access

That's weird my friend has Nexus 5 working with gear 1 tizen with no problems.. Why don't you try to do rest tizen in settings and try it again..
By any chance is the switch on top on.. Can you upload some screen shots of your gear Manger

Does upgrading to tizen and the new manager solve the issue where calls are routed to the gear when you answer on the phone (not an issue with samsung devices).
Main reason why i would upgrade or buy a samsung phone, driving me nuts

There you go..
[sprint htc one m7 + gear 1 on tizen =?]
No it still does the same thing.. But you just have to push audio source and change right on the dialer no biggie.. Tizen is worth it at least for the watch side of things. Great battery life I get 2 and half days before with Android I would get 12 hours. Beside that you get all true notifications you don't have to add any app right out the box with the apks installed.

You have the same setup as me. Did you install the GearManagerStub.apk? Is there any special steps that you need to take?

I placed gear managerstub.apk in system/app with proper permissions.
installed the gear manager 2.1.1 as a normal apk.
opened it, paired it to my gear 1.
it will ask you to install additional apks
just install them. they're around 5+ apks
and thats it.
agree to its terms blah blah blah.
viola!
set it up as you like with the gear manager on you phone.

You can do it with out pushing it to the system.. If your not rooted or if you are you can do it that way. And do you have this on to..

[GUIDE] Incredible Battery life with tizen and non samsung phone

Here my guide for an incredible battery life with gear 1 updated to tizen and my LG G3. For incredible i mean about 10 - 15 % for day( not an heavy use and motion feature disabled), always connected with all notification ON ( whatsapp, hangouts, gmail....) :
1- uninstall gear manager with all related apks and reboot;
2- install this gear manager;
3- pair the watch with your phone and check that all works correctly;
4- uninstall goprovider and install this
5- re-enable the notication access in phone settings;
that's all.... i also installed this app that works very well and gave me some custom watchfaces...
With the above configuration i have a really good battery drain... always connected i lose about 1% - 2% max for all night.

Like i said i updated my gear to tizen... If u do that the notification will work out of the box.
With null i used atn and worked but the stock notification system is a way better IMHO. This is the reason why i decided to update to tizen

so I updated my gear to tizen and install everything like you said. The notification is working delayed i dont understand how to find and install tizen apps or clocks on our lg g3
I'm going to try this with a custom rom for my Note 3.
And how are working the calls ?
For example if you answer with your phone, does the speaker switch on the Gear or not ?
This happened with non TW Android roms and it is so annoying...
Does it work on cyanogen?

Nexus 4 working
i've got this all installed and setup exactly as you show. i have tizen and the gear manager you do. the phone and watch are all connected but when i go to gear manager i only get the option for phone as notifications. there are no other options. any ideas?
I'm thinking I'm messing up step 5.
I assumed I go to
1. Gear manager
2. Notification
3. Gives me the apps compatible
But there's nothing there
×××××××××××××××××××××
Found it.
1. Settings
2. General
3. Security
4. Notification access

Thankyouuuuu
Curious. Since I know you have a g3 as well. Have you found anyway for the gear to still work without having bt voice on. I have a bt headset that I can't use unless I turn off my gear. Really annoying.
watch faces
Hello,
I have an LG G2 and i am waiting for my Gear 1 to arrive. I am curious as to MultiWatch or WatchStyler will work with my G2 as i want to install more watchfaces from www.gearfaces.com ?
Hello,
This works very well!
On a different note, has anyone had any luck installing apps on their Gear with Tizen? If so, I'd love to know how. I mean, at least I am unable to use samsung apps on my Nexus 5.
