hi to all, i want to share my experience (sorry for my english, i'm italian)
i have Nexus 5 phone and galaxy Gear(null_17 ROM).
Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2
Galaxy Gear with V700XXUAMK7 with NULL_17 ROM
and watchstyler 1.0.9 (working) with Casio Skin
At first i installed gearmanagerstub.apk
after i just bring "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk" and renamed to "gear manager 1.6 111801.zip"
opened and bring all file in the folder "preinstalledapk"
and run all one by one excepted for "samusic" and "saweather" because fail to installing(but is ok).
after all manual apk installed also installed "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk"
and opened gear manager and start the gear and pairing it. (2 or 3 time but making same test and check and at final running)
if you come from old pairing with other gear manager version example 1.5 or 1.4 etc... just from your sdcard delete the folder ".BManager_backup"
for fix the notification i also installed ATNmanager 1.2.2.apk on the phone, and in the gear i already sended the version of "ATNmanager 1.2.3.1_pre"(only the watch.apk file inside) and i receive all notify on gear by this apps and working fine.
remeber to go in setting->security->allow ATNmanager to read notification
up to now
work:
contact
logs call
gallery
camera(make and send directly to the phone in gallery)
call and receive it.
voice record (record and send on phone, but play with file manager in "sdcard/Sounds/Galaxy_Gear/your recording file"
notification(ATNmanager APP)
no work:
weather
s voice
For me is a good Result
Domenico.
I would think that weather and svoice wouldnt work because these features are twiz based. Thanks for reporting your findings.

These steps have been explained many many many times before. People get tired of repeating the same explanation in every thread. I guarantee people will still ask with this thread's existence. Just spend half an hour searching through the forum.

I found information too but nothing exactly as he put it,only mentions and so on and he quite managed to explain well some things i did not think of. It should be a sticky somewhere for new gear ownners with links and guides.
By they way,any link or way i could get the latest gear working app? thanx !

Are you kidding? Look at your last sentence. Just proves that people don't research on this board and that is the reason why developers get extremely put off. Stop being lazy and do your own research. As I have said, everything has been told to many people, even in the same thread. If you can't figure it out from the available information, maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

I really don't get it why you have to be so negative,things like these should be in first page not for me to look for houres and read pages,some people have other things to do rather than browsing pages for houres,that's why i donate to people that do a good job so i don't have to do it myself. Thank you !
Edit: All i'am saying organisation is key on this website,if there was a proper sticky and info, people would no have to ask in all threads about it. A post "how to make F'king gear manager working on non samsung devices" with 2 links and 3 words as the first guy just poset and voila ! Aparently you support messy information and useless posts.

Oh the first page of threads "Gear Manager Downloads". Nobody is going to want to help you if you've asked questions that show you haven't even looked in the forums for a second. Exactly why the null ROM no longer has direct support in here anymore.

I post all file early.. If you delete and bmmanager folder, just after pairing the gear automaticly reset. Otherway can't paired with phone.
Phore the atn the fast way is install atn 1.2.3.1 with watch paired... After it install all in the watch, disconnect watch from phone and install atn manager 1.2.2 and all notify working. Early I post the file already modded.
I have done all of this….. But I can not for the life of me get any notifications to my gear. None, not a one.
Help is appreciated….

Do you get notification through atn or original notification system? I get through ATN which does the job but not that well looking.
I haven't tried, but it sounds like ATN uses it's own notification system? This is different to notifications going via Gear Manager

Stand alone application that pushes notifications, they come in as emails..
You need to have atleast email notifications enabled in gear manager, ATN handles the rest.
Also you must make sure you enable ATN in accessibility options on your phone so it has permissions to read the notifications.

That's how I assumed it still worked. But then how does it work for nexus since it can't send any notifications what soever (let alone give email as an option)
My gear will not go to USB debugging?

ATN should send the notifications fine..
The reason why the notifications are not working on the nexus is because of the gear manager is not running completely.. I dont think the gear manager notification listener service is being started.
Have a look in accessibility settings do you see anything related to gear manager ? I didnt think to check this..

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?

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

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.

Ok, I appologize in advance if this has been asked before. I have a galaxy note 3 rooted running stock 4.4.2 and a galaxy gear running stock latest upadated rom. I was able to side load apps to the galaxy gear watch using cmd, and adb. I installed fleksy keyboard, an sms client and the phone face maker onto my gear. I check to send an sms and all the uploaded programs are gone. I reboot the watch, they temporarily appear and disappear again within seconds. What am I doing wrong????
Also does anyone know the cmd, adb commands to uninstall these programs. Example: the command to install is
adb install C:\Users\home\Desktop\keyboard.apk. What would be the uninstall command. Thank you so much for the help

hi ,
firstly,
i have same setup as you ..Note 3 rooted stock v 4.4.2 and Gear 1( rooted ,Null 23 rom ,I don't have this problem now. )
the issue with apps" disappearing " is an old problem on Gear !
I personally think its Samsungs way of trying to put you off from sideloading other apps ?
However ,the apps you installed is still there !.and work 100%(if you reboot Gear it should show in apps section for a short while and then disappear )
They just don't appear/show in apps list /programs list
If you want to you can install old previous version of Gear manager (..i think around Gear manager vers 1.5.x.. ? or before, that did not have this problem )There is a thread with all Gear manager versions, in Gear forum .
Further, is it not easier to install/sideload apps using Wondershare MobileGo for Android (you can Google for free 2 week pc version and install on your pc ,connect Gear to pc, it will install the Wondershare app, (drivers) automatic on Gear )
Afterward just install/sideload apps from pc to Gear.
Good luck
Thank u so much for your help!!!!! I figured out last night that it was my gear manager that was causing the disappearance of my apks. I installed the apk ggsms client on my watch and phone and the fleksy keyboard on my watch to be able to respond to sms directly from my watch. So if the apk disappeared i couldnt get to the ggsms to respond to the sms. This is what i did to so far fix the issue. I formatted my watch back to stock and uninstalled gear manager from my phone. Did the whole nfc and blue tooth sync to my phone. Once synced i went ahead and installed fleksy and the ggsms on my watch using cmd adb on my comp. I then installed the ggsms server on my phone. I then uninstalled the gear manager from my phone. I then synced my watch anf phone again via bluetooth which gear manager to download to my phone. gear manager opened did its thing and to this point both apks remain on my phone remain. I will do what you recommended if this fails me. Again thank u for your help!! Question, why root the gear? Benefits?
Ok, I opened, reluctantly, gear manager, changed my clock, to see if i would loose the apks and they still remain.. So far, so good. I have plan B, which is your method, if my method fails.

hi ,
just to answer your question on root ?
one off the most fustrating points of Gear for me, was to toggle bluetooth on and off and to see battery stats ( at a glance )
Bluetooth toggle was "hidden " in settings !( Yes, i know you can swipe down on screen ,but you cannot toggle switch )
Take a look at my screenshot( i set widgets to about 50% transparent ..top of screenshot left is bluetooth toggle ( i tap to switch bluetooth on and off )
Also battery stats /level top right..tap on it and i see my battery stats
O ,yes to switch screen off, i double tap screen ..!!
and to see my notifications ( sms , emails... etc ) i double press the Gear button !
Further i have Nova launcher( Prime ) on Gear ( which i have been using for years on phone )
I have set cpu clock speed and get very good battery use
Between 15../20% with moderate use a day
So i can easly go 3..4 days? ( if i want to )
Good enough reason to root etc ..
Side note ,
i have been on Tizen and back ,just plain boring overall ( that compared/said ... if you want the most out of your Gear ,my advice is to stay on Android )
Battery usage on Tizen is the same, as i am getting on Android ( depends, what combination ..phone /Gear )
Good luck

Thanks again for the response.
I have always rooted all my devices to unlock the full potential of the phone. I can see why it would benefit rooting the gear. I had also been using nova launcher on my phone for years and installed it onto my gear but had a problem where the clock wouldn't display. I would try to add the clock widgets from the nova launcher widgets menu and would get an error that the clock was not installed. I gave up, lol and went back to the stock launcher. The ability to toggle blue tooth as well as battery life with the ability to over clock, under clock is awesome. Great job!!!
Again, thanks for helping and guiding me with these issues. You have helped me tremendously!!!! :highfive:

I have always rooted all my devices to unlock the full potential of the phone. I can see why it would benefit rooting the gear. I had also been using nova launcher on my phone for years and installed it onto my gear but had a problem where the clock wouldn't display. I would try to add the clock widgets from the nova launcher widgets menu and would get an error that the clock was not installed. I gave up, lol and went back to the stock launcher. The ability to toggle blue tooth as well as battery life with the ability to over clock, under clock is awesome. Great job!!!
Again, thanks for helping and guiding me with these issues. You have helped me tremendously!!!! :highfive:[/QUOTE]
hi ,
yes ,
if you are not rooted you can install Nova but ,you cannot use any widgets/wallpaper .
To get the full potential of rooting etc ... your Gear ,was the reason i flashed Null 23.
As it added basic full Android settings ,and cpu undervolting ( i set my cpu between 200 and 800 mhz and as stated getting very good battery life on Null23 . Must point out ,if Null installed, it is normally set, with both cores unlocked and at 1600 mhz ,but battery life takes a hit .)
Null comes with Nova/Apex( free version ) pre installed ,but as i had the Nova Prime( licence ) version on my phone ,found a post here on xda on how to transfer( my Nova Prime licence ) from Phone to Gear .
(i mention above facts ,if you one day try /flash Null)
Good luck
hi (sorry for my english I'm french)
I have a problem with my galaxy gear before the update to my sony xperia Z1 I could see my contacts and call them but also use the app "find my phone" transfer the picture taken with the watch on my z1.
* I uninstall and reinstall the manager trying to gear but could not link it to the watch.
if I log in BT directly connects the watch displays me (but if I hit twice on the screen bluetooth logo is gray)
* I can only call the numbers made
thank you in advance for your help

Try this
Try this .apk in attachment. I have managed to pair Galaxy Gear and Z1 with Lolipop. Have all functions expect reply SMS, or email . Have all notifications, call, etc.
You need to preinstall other files

thank you, i tried it but cant find gear on gear manager :good:
Sometimes i have same problem, but first conect with Bluetooth, and then open gear managet. If not working, stop gear manager from app list, or reboot phone, and try again. When its paired, you need to try couple of times, but you will succeed.

I solve the problem by changing the gear manager.
