I am a great fan of James Bond movies. As I have a smartwatch I would like to have a Clock in it with a JB look and feel.
Someting with a text of a movie or the DB5-car in it.
Is there anything?

Install from the Play Store the app "Watchmaker Premium" and you can design your own watchface.
But you can also download a lot of smartfaces from the internet, created by others.

Yes, they are.
You can flash Android Wear onto your Gear 2 Neo
(I did that on my Gear 2 and it works very well).
how well does android wear run on the gear2 neo and can you go back to stock tizen is it buggy does it offer more features ?

Android Wear runs really smooth and stable on the Gear 2 (and Neo).
It is far more customizable than Tizen and it has more apps to use in the Play Store.
The last stable and full version is based on Android 5.1.1, but there is also a version 6.0.1 which is currently in beta and in development. But I have the beta 2 running and it works really well.
Try it and you won't be disappointed. And you can turn back to Tizen if you want to.

there is also a goldeneye themed watchface for tizen based watch ROMs. Its pretty dope.
@speedme How long is the battery life on android wear on the G2N?

I get easily 3 days with moderate use.
But that is with screen and gestures turned off.
The screen will only lid up for a few seconds when a new notification arrives.

Oh, right on. I've been reading that Android wear has such a terrible battery life, hence the reason I haven't used it yet. Good to know that you can disable the always-on feature. Do you have a link for what you used to install it?

Yes, you can find the latest version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/please-help-kernel-compiling-android-t2992953
There are installation guides on Youtube, it's actually very simple.
And you can return to Tizen if it turns out that you don't like AW.

i did end up finding a thread with the AW tar.md5 and i flashed it in odin. It booted, did the synch thing (took a while, but thats understandable) and eventually got the the GUI. All well and good, it was pretty responsive and looked really cool, but it wouldnt synch with the android wear app on my phone. The apk on the phone wouldnt find the device, but i could pair it via bluetooth settings, so i know that the bluetooth functionality was working on the watch and the phone, just not within the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, no change. Rebooted both devices, no change. I even factory reset my phone and reinstalled the app, no change. So i ended up restoring the tizen rom. Luckily, i made a root gear 2 neo thread because the restore tar.md5 provided in the AW thread didnt work, but mine did

Did you use the ZIP file from the thread I posted earlier ?
Because there is the latest version (4th of March release).
You flash the file in ODIN indeed and then it takes a while for the rom to boot up.
After that, follow the instructions on the screen of the watch.
The only thing you have to look out for, is that you use the AW app on your phone to pair the phone with the watch.
Do not pair it directly in the BT settings.
If you had your watch paired once before in the AW app, you have to "forget watch" in the AW app first, because the AW app then "holds" the watch but will never connect.
I don't know exactly what went wrong with your flash, but I would suggest not to give up so easily and try it again.
For any help, you can use the thread I posted earlier.
And also use Youtube to actually seeing how to install the AW rom onto your Gear 2 Neo.
Good luck.

I'll give it another whirl this weekend. I'd love to have aw on my watch as I'd like to run a cm ROM and Samsung gear manager doesn't work on cm. Also, I initially paired it in bt settings, then unpaired it and it still didn't work. Then I even reflagged the aw ROM on the watch and redid the process and it wouldn't pair. I'm not a newb, and I know I followed the instructions to a t, but it could have been a bad download. I'll not give up! I just haven't had time to readdress it yet. 3 day weekend should allow for it tho
Thanks man. It was just a bad version of AW. I downloaded the most recent one from March, and it's working like a charm!! I'm just going to hafta familiarize myself with AW vs tizen. Thanks again man!

Correct, currently you can't make calls on the watch (using the watch microphone and speaker).
The developer of the AW port (Biktor_gj) still needs to work this out.
However, he's recently became a dad of a beautiful daughter....so his spare time is now taken up by her (which is of course logical).
But you should be able to at least answer the call (swipe to answer) and take the call on your phone.
Right on. Thanks!

The problem is if the user isnt using my rom, I dont know if it will repair.. the stock bluetooth settings are very limited as I'm sure your aware.
It wipes so the hand shake between the gear and the phone is remade I believe.
I think thats why Samsung wipes upon gear manager updates, also the gear is intended to be connected to one phone & one phone only.

One thing I did until about 3am last night was install all the developer software including Cygwin and had a play..... have I got the time to develop my skills in this area? well no and I am starting to realize this lol but if I decide to in a crazy moment ......
I also have come to the conclusion a smart watch is just that, I will never surf the net on my watch when I have a very good S4 to do that, I will be watching what develops next year and hope there will be an S5 and a Gear 2 bundle :cyclops:
No doubt when I go back to the Pilbara next year I will be stuck out onsite when they are released, I see comments out in the wild about what people expect from their smart watch like not needing to be tethered or to have WIFI but all this means there will be an increase in size or shorter battery time, the camera even is a little limited and I dont use it much as you get strange looks, out Glasshouse mountians couple of weeks ago and it sure looked like I was Creepin lol but I wasnt of course

I think the one watch one phone thing is key to decision to wipe. But also when you update gear manager, it removes apps on phone and then reinstalls

Thank you all for your help!
My Gear is in route to my house so I will be rooting, roming and setting up GPS asap.
Should I go ahead and pair it up as if it was stock to gain partnership with my S4 before I do all this or do you think I would be fine to root/flash right out of box?
There's no reason not to root and rom right away. Pairing first won't gain anything, you'll need to re connect once the rom is installed. I'd start downloading everything you need now. Root files, wondershare, and rom files. Make sure all your ducks are in a row, and do a dry run of the procedure to familiarize yourself.
On a personal note, I like to try things stock for a day or so first. This way I have a better comparison of stock vs rom.
I'm quite happy with the note 4 so far and would like to keep it but I'm having issues with my Gear. I'm not sure if this is rom (currently on Null rom) related or note 4 only supports tizen, but these are my issues. I don't have these issues with my note 3.
1. When I get a text and I open it on the watch, it's supposed to clear the notification on the phone but it's not. So I still have to go the my messages on the phone and view them so the notification goes away.
2. I have my gear set up to auto unlock my phone when its near it, but it's not working. It stays locked (pattern unlock)
Anyone else with the Gear having any of these issues? If you're not can you tell me if you are using stock android rom or tizen. TIA.
interesting...I have a gear 2 neo coming, and I have a thread here as well, as so far, everyone says the Gear2 works flawlessly.
I assume the gear 1 and gear 2 use different firmware, so maybe that has something to do with it..
you might want to post this question in the "main" note 4 thread, to get more folks to look at it..
I'm also running null_23. Can confirm issue 2. I'm using hangouts for SMS. Not sure if notifications are dismissing for that, I'll let you know.

Wase4711, Gear 1 and Gear 2 are significantly different. Gear 1's have the option of running android OR tizen, whereas gear 2 folks are pretty much locked into Tizen and that's that.
thanks, I did not know that:good:
whats the real difference when running either of them, outside of apps you might be able to load on the android OS?
tomorrow will be a busy day, configuring the note 4 and the gear 2!:cyclops:

using a regular rom on the Note 1, you can install LOTS of goodies.
Gear 2 apps are significantly more limited. IMO the gear 2 looks cleaner without that ugly wart camera.

for me, the gear 2 had most of the things I would care about on it, plus, I knew getting the note 4 around the same time, my head would be exploding just getting that setup how I want it, let alone having to configure/learn how to use a Gear 2..Yeah, that "wart" of a camera on the gear 1 looked terrible..
How are you guys using null without Bluetooth tethering?
quick update; the gear 2 works fantastic with this phone..
I cant believe how clear and loud making a phone call from a watch actually is!
Plus, I get the "HD Voice" notification on the watch while calling, and its as clear as a bell!

Would it be better to just sell the watch and get one that is more compatible?

I tried it on a very early alpha version of lollipop on my Samsung device and it worked. But I hate to burst your bubble, it will be at least another couple of months until it is stable and more generally available. It relies heavy on gear manager which relies on the touchwiz environment. Why, for Pete's sake, this route was chosen is maybe one of Samsung's downfalls. Within two years they will be out of the market if they keep going with their business model, this consumer market does not care, but like you, will remember. Examples of such electronic giants reduced to rubble? Nokia, Nortel, Blackberry
Consumers want stuff to work, simple without all these prerequisites that are in fine print.
Tbh you are best of selling or donate it to a family member with a Samsung phone that has to be running Jellybean 4.3 or KitKat. Preferably a galaxy phone so S4, Note3, ß5 or Note4. Others.... Will not work without breaking their OS
Sad but true
Anyone tried Gear 2 Neo to see if it works with the newly pushed Android 5.0.1 on i9500 and i9506?
I'm curious if it will work from day 1 on i9505 when 5.0.1 will be pushed to these devices.
Thanks!
I have i9506, nordic edition and gear 2 neo, and they work together. Even better than on Kitkat, as s health was not receiving the Gear data for pedometer and such.
Now even that works. My s4 on the otherhand is laggy as hell with 5.0.1 , but that is not the issue here
I've installed i9505 5.0.1 and Samsung Gear doesn't work anymore. When started, it blinks a 1-2 times and crashes silently. I cannot connect to the watch with anything else (Android Wear for ex.) either.
Any ideas?
Later edit: I enabled bluetooth debug in Android Wear and tried several more times to connect through S-Gear and now it seems it connected and is trying to install additional software... hope it works out.
Haha, phone did a factory reset on the watch and now I'm trying again to connect to it .
Later edit: after managing to soft brick my phone, I reinstalled the 5.0.1 and this time, amazingly enough, Samsung Gear worked as it was supposed to so my watch is back to normal functions again.

Hello,
I tried every possible thing I found on the internet. Even went to change the name of the phone and model in /system files, without any success. I did manage, after downgrading to 4.4.4 to connect to the gear 2 neo, but I couldn't use any of it's features except answering the phone via the watch. I'm thinking maybe I can change the ROM of the watch to tizen and then make a connection with android wear. I searched but didn't find anyone who did this on gear 2 neo. Theoretically, it should work. I will post if I manage to do something.
Cheers,
Alex

Answering calls work with Lollipop too,just pair watch in Bluetooth settings. Second... You should install Android rom on watch,not Tizen. There is also Android Wear mod possibility... Roms for Gear 2 should also work on Neo (except camera)

Hi. Bought a Galaxy Gear 1. It's still on Android at the moment. Is it worth upgrading to Tizen? Are there any major advantages or disadvantages? Thanks
Battery is better on Tizen and there are more apps from the store. But it looks like Android is the only way to get it working with Lollipop at least with non Samsung phones.
Thanks for the reply. I'll do a bit more research. I read you can revert back to android but is that 100% or just if your lucky.
Thanks

I would say android all the way. I have tried tizen and didn't last long before downgrading. Android has a lot more apps available from play store and is much more versatile. Better battery on tizen perhaps but you can always clock the speed down on android which helps.

I have done it honestly 30 times or more, it works 100% but you have to follow the directions to a T otherwise you end up with touch not working. If that happens just start over, it's happened to me a few times by not booting to recovery.

The Gear I has been on Tizen since July of 2014; almost a year. Do any of the original third party Android apps even still work? I'd imagine Samsung's work to some extent but even they'll sunset as Android isn't a supported OS for the Gear I any longer. If someone's using a Gear with a non-Samsung phone I guess that's different because it's kind of "franken-phone" set up any way. But with all the cheap Android Wear options available that really do work with any Android phone it seems kind of illogical to cling to a Samsung-biased device anyway.

Null ROM is jellybean, jellybean is still very much supported. Just install play store and you have just about any app availiable , screen size permitting.
I think that Android, null rom, have no support for NOTIFICATIONS if Lollipop is on the phone (Note 3). No way to make them work, for me. Tried a lot of Gear Manager versions... :/

I got some real over heating problems with using null 23 Rom for the Samsung gear 1. It continued to get really hot on my wrist and also displayed and over heating icon while charging. It have me hell to revert back to stock android, but I did. Dont know if I did something wrong but I did not try it again.
Very happy with Tizen.
I had such hi hopes for my gear but the app store was hopeless with the exception of watchstyler, upgraded to Tizen 3 days ago and can not believe the difference, Tizen really gives the gear wings. The watch faces in the Tizen app store are REALLY nice and I now have the apps I need, calender, calculater, flashlight and an app that lets me see on my watch through my phones camera. Not sure about the battery life but am so pleased to have upgraded.
