Check this thread on using Gear with any phone without gear Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539082.
You can find the latest Null ROM at http://null.section80.net/.
You can find info on installing Gear Manager on your LG at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593066 (though I have not had luck with GM on my Nexus 7).
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'm aware of this. I tried installing it but my issue is I'm trying to install Gear Manager on a non-rooted device. I posted about it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617504) but still didn't get an answer as to whether or not it's possible.

Does the Galaxy Gear work with the Galaxy S4 Zoom??

Hi,
I have the chance of buying a Galaxy S4 zoom but need to know whether it works with the Galaxy Gear or not? I have a Galaxy Gear (Original Galaxy Gear 1) already and don't want to render it useless should I chop in my Galaxy S3 for the S4 zoom!!
Thanks

The S4 Galaxy Zoom came with android version 4.2.2. On this version it "might" work if you jump thru some hoops. It is able to be officially updated to 4.4 on some carriers. If the Zoom is on 4.4 stock firmware it will work. If your able to get to a retail store and test drive the device, open samsung apps application and search for gear manager. If it's there, your 100% good to go!

So its all based around whether the device can download the Samsung Galaxy Gear Manager then rather than hardware capabilities?

Hardware requirements for the gear are a bluetooth v4 connection. But users with v3 have it working properly. The S4 Zoom has v4.0 with A2DP, LE so it's good to go hardware wise.
Software wise the gearmanager requires an android version of 4.3 or higher that's based on Samsung's touchwiz framework. If your on anything different you have to do some modifying and tweaking. That's where xda can help!

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that answers my question!! The S4 zoom only has Android 4.2.2 and no upgrades to it so I'm not going to run the risk!
I might wait for the rumoured Galaxy K Zoom just to be sure!
I also don't think that the S4 zoom can run S Health either so the integration between the watch and S Health won't exist either!?

Is this a fact? Well, if that's right, I know why my Galaxy Note 1 does work very well with a force installed Gear manager, but calling is silent and with no mike working... Bluetooth 2.1 here... In that case, be sure that your device supports more than mine ^^

The original Galaxy note has Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP, EDR. I use to have one and didn't have mic problems with my gear. You might want to reinstall gearmanager and all the apks individually again.

That's not right!!!! I use gear with S4 mini dual sim from November 2013 and it has 4.2.2. Samsung implemented the necessary files in earlyer version of android. If you could update your phone with a 2014 firmware it is a very great possibility to work. (99%)
Anyway, gear manager works just fine with devices from other manufacturers, I reccomand you to read on the gear forum some more.

Which ROM? Omni KitKat ROM does not work.

I don't suppose anyone is able to definitely confirm that the Galaxy Gear works with the Galaxy S4 Zoom?
I've double checked today and its actually the SM-C101 model I have a chance of getting... OR I can now get a Galaxy S4. So I need to be absolutely sure that I can use my Gear with the Zoom, otherwise I'll go for the S4

I have absolutely no idea. I would say some devs are probably looking into it but I don't believe it will be anytime soon. But the good news is I believe there is an awesome Tizen update on its way, not sure neither but that's my guess (that they will port Gear S Tizen to other Gears).
Hope that helps.

There is a pretty good video for the Android Wear flash and also returning to stock. I have been on AW for awhile now and don't think I would go back to Tizen. Give it a spin and see how you like it and make the comparison yourself
