i'm new to android and i've been waiting this since CES n now i've got it in Singapore!
However, when I switched on my 2X i found there's no any preloaded games that mentioned in the gsmarena review, the spiderman and shrek kart, tegra zone as well.The set comes with a HDMI cable too.
Anyway, that doesnt matter a lot but I dont understand why i can't buy paid apps? and market not even show those paid apps too.
ROM and stuff i'm learning now too but if there's anyone who kind enough u can simply post here, starting from the basics =D
much appreciated!
go to the appdrawer, then press on the icon named "preinstalled apps" and a list of apps will appear, including the games you mention - click on the ones you want to have installed. The apps are delivered as installation packages on the phone, but not preinstalled - LG leave it up to you to deside which of these you want to install.
erm. I cant see any appdrawer? but i clicked on the application thr's folder called preloaded apps but only 4 useless apps inside, like the compass apps etc.
and i just realise my location are not support paid apps. so if i root my hp will i able to purchase paid apps?
All:
Running stock rooted 4.3 on Galaxy S4. Generally I would debloat just about all the Samsung apps other than a few I actually use - - SMemo, Svoice, etc. Now, I'm not sure what I can delete without 'breaking' gear features. I don't use any of the Samsung media sharing stuff, but wonder if the Gear is using any of this in some way to communicate with my phone to control media player, etc.
Any hints or tips? Is there a developer resource that shows a list of dependencies for certain Gear functions?
Ideally, it would be great to create a de-bloat script with the Gear specifically in mind. I've done some simple scripting so I might be able to do this, but I've no idea how to go about finding what is safe to remove, and trial-and-error would take a hella long time.
Thoughts, suggestions?
I would also like to know the same thing when I get my gear for Christmas

Hey all
I am the proud owner of the ultimate geek accessory, the gear. I also have a totally stock att note 3. Because of this, for now I want to leave the gear unrooted. So which apps do you recommend? I know some require data so they are not practical just yet. What apps do you use? What games? I tried candy crush (cute) and mouse. I would love to listen to ebook in the car.....
Thanks for any recommendations!
if the gear is unrooted, then aren't your only options what's available in the Samsung store inside the gear manager app?
I can still side load with abd
I've been searching everywhere trying to find a way to use a keyboard to respond to messages. I sideloaded one but without null it's pointless. There has to be a way though.. For example voice memos and pictures can be sent to the device, and you can reply to sms with preset responses so why wouldn't it be possible for the gear to communicate typed responses to the sms app over it's default connection. I think the most realistic solution would be a 3rd party sms app for the phone that has a companion app for the gear, then a sideloaded keyboard, I have a feeling the keyboard would be the main issue (development-wise), but I'm holding out hope. If only I were a developer. In the meantime it's plenty useful to me.. Between the universal notifications, music control, weather, schedule & caller-ID & dialer I'm content for now. If I had paid $300 for it I might be a little less satisfied, but overall it's great fun for gadget people.
Using "sources other than Samsung Apps"
I was wondering about this too. There's an option in Gear Manager you can check that allows you to install apps from "sources other than Samsung Apps". I have no idea how to actually install other apps, or if there are any other apps I can install on the device from a non-Samsung source. Any thoughts?
Okay, side loading using a db and totally stock: subway surfers, candy crush, mouse, 100 floors (a little hard); blast monkeys (looks a little weird), building tower
Still trying out others
I've been looking through man smart watches, mostly those which run on android since those allow installation of apk files. Now what I'm wondering is, can apk files be installed on this device? I've hears of something called TizenMod which can somehow let you install apk files. I know for sure the Galaxy Gear 1 has the ability to install apps but does the neo? I'm mostly interested in Twitter, Skype, an Internet Browser, and perhaps a keyboard. If the watch can do all of these I'll be sold but I need confirmation first. I also want to know if watchfaces are possible on this device.
When going to the apps portion of the watch, apps I hardly use on my phone show up. Like American Airlines. I don't need or want that on my watch, but would love to have Spotify there, or What'sApp.
Can someone advise? Thanks.
