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.

Is there any simple method to add phone styles
Title says it all, guys....can someone point me in the right direction of the correct version of GearManager? (I tried the Youtube link...and it appeared to brick my watch; or maybe the GearManager is screwed...GearManager *says* that it's paired (got the correct code on both Watch & Phone) ...but now the Watch keeps staying in the InitialPairing mode....
The only way I can remove the Pairing from GM is to Uninstall it completely from my phone....but I must be leaving some file, because it re-installs as still Paired to my watch...*grumbles*
Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind spending under $10 USD, there is an app on the Play Store that I used to pair mine with my G3. It's called Gear 2 Superfixer by Creatix Digital. Just download, follow the instructions precisely and you shoud be good to go. You DON'T need to root to use it. With that app, I am able to make and receive phone calls. There are limitations due to needing Samsung stuff, but it is pretty much all you need. It will have the correct version of Gear Manager as well. Good Luck.

My LG is already Rooted and TWRPed....I really wanted the correct Gear Manager etc...
What "limitations" does Superfixer have? Can you not DL stuff to the Watch?

I am not rooted, but this DOES work with rooted. It is encouraged as a step in the use of this app/info. Being not rooted, I did not try to download any apps AND I am using a LG G Watch at the same time. You may be able to download some, but I doubt Samsung specific apps, nor can you install the Samsung Apps apk AFAIK.

what version of gear manager did u use? I have a LG G2 that pairs fine with the Galaxy Gear 2 neo.. I use the Gear manager version 2.1.14xxxxx.. Anything from 2.2.xxxx does not work as the apk (which is only about 8mb or so) tries to download more files and it fails since this is not a samsung phone..
The drawback is that I can use the Gear as a standalone smart watch only for notifications.. I cannot get alarm, weather nor can I put S health or S voice on my phone..
*Nudge* to see if anyone has come up with a solution...
My Gear 2 Neo just got updated to R381XXU0BNL2, I've been trawling the internet for a changelog without any luck.
All I have noticed so far is the android/tizen version has been increased to 2.2.1.2
link: LINK TO SAMMOBILE FIRMWARE PAGE
Anyone noticed any other changes?
(still wishing someone would port Android wear to the watch)
hi i just received the same update,the only thing i noticed is that is smoother than before. (By the way i wish someone can port android wear too)
I assume Samsung Gear (ex Manager) and Watch Styler still work? I have mine set for manual updates check - doesn't seem that the new ROM is available in Canada yet.

Yeah Gear Manager works ok and watch styler seems to be ok too, Looking at the dates on the SamMobile site it doesn't look like any pattern emerging as to when Canada will receive updates. recently Russia got version NK2 but no other country did!
seems like a very strange update rollout technique.
Update: watch does seem a bit smoother, but I have had 2 occasions where the screen wouldn't come on and I have had to long press the button to bring up the power menu. I rebooted on both occasions as the watch seemed really laggy.
Any more feedback guys?
Thanks in advance! Too nervous to mess with it, it REALLY runs fine now with my 4.4.2 Note3 :laugh:
hi

Tizen version didn't increase. It was 2.2.1.2 for BNE5 too.
The biggest problem of these firmwares is that the notifications
don't remain on the screen until dismissed by the user. I have
to use clock with shortcuts with one of the shortcut being notification
in order not to miss any notification.
I was hopping it will get fixed with the next update. I'm still on BNE5
firmware. Can you please confirm/infirm is that was fixed?

Not sure how you have your notifications set up: on BNE5 I get persistent notifications for my email app (the only one I care about - work... ) by selecting it in the Samsung Gear list. I believe you can also configure the button to pop up notifications on double-press if everything else fails.
Curious about experiences with BL2...Tizen gets so little publicity it's almost like no one cares...so no feedback on the web other than a few posts here.

I was talking about sms and missed calls notifications. These are not persistent.
I would like to use "clock + events" but because I miss a lot of notifications
I have to use "clock + shortcuts" instead. Number of missed notifications
is indicated by a digit on the notification shortcut icon. No need to
double press home button each time. It's enough to check the time.

I know where to find it, but I'd rather not do a manual upgrade seeing how there is NO info re changelog and have no clue why it's not available to North America.
Weird...talk about Samsung's transparency.
Samsung started a mass update of the firmware according to the site above dates. Probably it will reach you soon. I have a Hong Kong version of it (TGY) although I've bought it from Europe and I have to wait for it too. If the wait is too long I might go to samsung care center and ask to change my CSC to my country.

Well then your screwed. Look on Samsung site for firmware. This device has never had a u.s firmware from that site. And any I mean any firmware they release is there. I flashed u.k watch is fine. If you flashed tizen or rooted at all. You will never get a update ota. Try in gear manager says your device has been modified and can not receive ota updates.
Sent from my 0x1 Note 3...... I love tep
Most certainly this is the last update. Samsung is always doing mass updates for the last firmware. BNE5 update was released in May. So if there is still a new update after BNL2
it will be very far away in time. So I won't worry about not getting ota updates anymore. You can check mrcrab site and do a last flash if it's needed.
FYI...I did get BNE5 when I first booted up the watch (and I only bought it 3 weeks ago)...so there were NA updates- just not this one.
More importantly, please post here if you run into any problems on BNL2 as like I mentioned, I have ZERO issues currently so stability is more important to me than new features which I might not use.
Cheers :highfive:

I haven't done it myself, but I have read that you have to export them from one watch and then import them for the other watch.

I just got my new LG Watch R. Works fine with my iPhone 6. I can read messages and swipe them away, no promblems there.
Now i would like to use my new watch with sports. Is there any way to install endomundo or something on the watch? Its not neccesary at all to connect endomondo with the iPhone, but i just want to see my speed etc on the watch.
Besides this i have a problem installing watch faces. If i want to install a watchface from the Android wear app it doesn't install anything.
Thanks for the help.

You don't need to root. Just find the phone APK file, rename it to ZIP, find the mobile APK file inside the res/raw folder, and use adb install on it.
This post is about getting a customized watchmaker onto the watch, but you can do the same and skip the part about modifying the APK
