Greetings nerds, proud geeks, smart pc-freaks and talented tinkers,
i guess my question is pretty easy to answer for all of you ^^;
but a friend of mine told me about dxa so.... i will try to give it a shot.
i already browsed the forum for a answer... but sadly couldn't find one.
so a link to "the site the girl can't find" would also be great ^^;
buuuut my question:
i got a sony Z5 compact and want to use my old samsung galaxy gear (first gen i guess ^^).
buuuuut i don't want to use the galaxy gear os from samsung.
is it possible to use android wear on this device?
i was browsing trough the forum and only found roms about lolipop and kitkat... or is this "andriod wear" as well?
i thougth this is a seperate os for gears...
my first try (i guess pretty stupid) simply downloading the app android wear and was trying to connect it with my z5... sadly it always says: updating... but don't move on...
so i guess i need to install another rom on the galaxy gear?
is this necessary? possible? and when yes how? ^^;
thanks in advance :3
love
acy <3
It is currently not possible to use android wear on the Samsung Galaxy first gen. Someone has been trying to develop it and is still trying to work out all the bugs. Which is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ip-android-wear-lollipop-galaxy-gear-t3341116
(This above is an incomplete OS) (It is still a work in progress)
If you want to use your gear with your Z5, try using this guide and installing all the apk files inside the zip and see if it works:

Ok, so i'm assuming this is a common question but failed at search and there doesnt seem to be much in terms of FAQ on these subforums.
I've read that the samsung watches only work with samsung phones. is this still the case? what is the point in rooting the watches? does it allow to be used on other brands? does the other phone NEED to be rooted to use it?
many thanks and really sorry if it has been answered many times before.
I've been offered one (i think its the original gear not gear 2) for a decent price but dont know if it'll work on my sony z1 unrooted.
cheers
You really don't even need to search...just read some of the threads
The watch is only fully compatible with devices running android 4.3+ and touchwiz
You can however get a fair bit of stuff working on non touchwiz roms/devices with workarounds

Since Samsung has had their Android Wear version of their Gear watches announced (and available for order today), what's the odds of that ROM being loaded on our Gear 1 devices? I, for one, have not gone to Tizen yet in hopes of this taking place and it seems like we are on the verge of this happening. I know it will not be an official release, but something where a rooted device would be needed.
I second ur hopes - held off on Tizen for the same reason
Whether or not Android Wear's better than Tizen all depends on which apps you use on your phone. Android Wear (like Google Now) is dependent on using Google's apps and services. Most of what Now reports off of is scraped from Gmail. I don't use Gmail or any Google apps I don't have to so Now and Android Wear are useless to me and those like me. Most corporate/professional users that use MS products, Exchange, and connect to secure networks (which typically limit apps used for personal use) aren't going to be Android Wear candidates.

I'm sure it'll fit perfectly with gear 2. I see the .tar having the drivers for the watch it's a dependent of
I would be very interested in a Wear port too.
As far as I can see, not too many things have changed on the Gear live compaired to the Gear 1.
Sure, the CPU would be faster but the screen and memory size are the same.
Count me in as well, this is where xda shines.... people coming together to contribute to the common goal. Can't wait.

How come every time someone starts a discussion inquiring about possible uses someone else feels the need to chime in why they don't need it? FYI-we don't give a rats ass about ur corporate structure-we want Android wear - go pontificate to ur secretary please

It's a discussion forum, no? Everyone here is a wearables early adopter so are interested in whatever comes next. And not everyone here uses their devices the same way or wants the same things. Other than blind fanbois who clearly have no objectivity, I enjoy hearing people's different views; even if I don't agree with them. Your post added less to this discussion than mine did. People wetting themselves over something no one here knows the functional value of (yet) is the height of fanboi-ism. Android Wear could change the world as we know it. It's going to take more than a five minute conference dog and pony for that to happen.
A discussion by folks who want wear not about discussing why someone doesn't need nor want-not a fan of any particular aspect - just bored with Gear 1-if motor 360 looks good I'll purchase, if not then wait a while
Does it only work with Samsung products, I have an invite for an one plus one I want to know if it'll work with the phone too?

I have been waiting for Android Wear to be released. I believe it would be a wonderful fit for the galaxy gear 1. Let's not forget the functionality of the gear 1 using the Null ROM....android based. Today's conference reiterated how coding would not be that much different for normal Android code. Sounds promising to me.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Free mobile app
From earlier discussions and threads I believe Android wear requires a 4.4 based Rom to operate. The Gear 1 Roms and Null Rom are 4.3 based. The real hurdle will be getting a 4.4 Rom on the Gear. The Devs and contributors on XDA are very talented so with this release of the Gear Live maybe they can accomplish it.
I am curious what the battery will be like on the Gear Live with the always on features of Android wear. The screen has to go into some type of low power mode for the 300mAh battery to last through a day. I also have a Qualcomm Toq that I picked up cheap on ebay, that uses a Mirasol Screen and only has a 240mAh battery. I get 4-5 days always on with it (even over night). The Toq has a tiny processor, runs a unique OS, and the colors are not vibrant, but it is a very capable demonstration smartwatch. I think there may be a future for more advanced Mirasol screens.
Anyway good to see some excitement over our Gear 1. I have enjoyed being an early adapter and experimenting with Null and Tizen on the watch. Maybe Android Wear is in our future.
I want to see this. I really need to get off of this touchwiz train. Wear works with any android at least 4.3.
Hey can someone help me unbrick my alcatel one touch evolve tmobile? I tried using adb and sdk but its not working correctly for some reason. It just says closed every time i try to execute a command... :/
Btw i bricked it by editing the build prop
Does watch styler app work w Gear live?

Sorry i was refering to @Mr Ian B's question on watchstyler on Android Wear, didn't realize it could have applied to your original question in the OP. :cyclops:
Android wear was just announced yesterday, so it will probably be a while before devs can get their hands on a device, then another while before we see a port, only after that will we see if other features like watchstyler will be able to be ported onto android wear, should not be a major problem as both are of the same platform.
Personally I cannot wait to see a port of Android wear onto the gear1, I would like to see how my gear1 fares withe the screen on feature:laugh:
Q&A for [ROM] Android Wear for Galaxy Gear
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM] Android Wear for Galaxy Gear. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I´m in, just...

AWESOME!!!!!
Subscribed and promptly ready to test!

Ready to test, just if someone could tell me if there is any need for me to flash android before using this.
Very anxious to see what this new ROM would become and willing to test if possible/needed.
one beta tester from Spain
Eager.. eager..eager.. Let us flash something
Ok I subscribed to the other thread. What do I need to get started other than my watch lol
Not to be a spoil sport, but can we reduce the questions until OP has actually released something? This includes "please can I test it", "when's it going to be ready?" etc posts. It just clogs up the forums, cheers!
Im down for testing. even if there was a way to get android wear apps to work on tizen, that would be awesome
How to install?
Sorry, I'm using Google translation ...
I have a GEAR1 running NULL_ROM to install just download the image and install the twpr?
I saw the message that is not running, it refers to the version of 10/01 ???
I'm interested in running the Android Wear in GEAR1, I can help in any way?
Where do logs go?
Sorry for my possible noobness but where can I find logs while testing this rom and where would i post them?
I just subscribed and I wish you luck! I am on tien on my gear 1, but I will read through the thread and find how to downgrade and install the recovery this weekend. I don't know how much help I can be, but if I can get to the point of being able to test and post logs I will definitely do that. Thanks for working on this!
i've got an original gear with null rom 23 i believe .. if i can help in anyway, as long as it doesn't brick my gear let me know as i am eager to see wear working on this gen 1 gear.. i'm a relative n00b at this so testing/logging/dumping instructions would be helpful..
keep up the great work! Thanks!
still needing firmware?
I have an original Galaxy Gear with the original OS on it. I have never upgraded it and the current version shows:
V700XXUBNA6
If there is anything I can provide to help make Android Wear work on the device please let me know.
This will work with gear 2 Neo??
should i try this on my gear?
i have a galaxy gear 1 with null 23 rom and i can just flash tje file on my gear but my question is, will it work??
Stock images
I read in the ROM thread that you're looking for partition dumps. I've got a bone-stock Gear1 running Android. If you still need, I can provide the dd images.
Android wear for galaxy Gear
Im new here, but ive been following some threads for quite some time.
RE; Galaxy Gear, has anyone got notifications from iphone working on any of the ROMS?
been tinkering around - there are apps on the play store but they require 4.4, null (Great stuff), is 4.2.2 and i cant bypass the API level requirement. gonna try unpacking the APK and modifying minimum API level in build.gurdle then pushing the iphone notifier and the android wear widget components to the Null should work.
Also the android wear on a gear will breathe new life into Galaxy Gear's - the main problem is the chipset difference - exynos and Snapdragon. i think thats why it wasnt hard to port it to a gear2.
Any Tips?
I currently use my GG1 with my nokian N8, thanks Fomey
But the iphone notifications using ANCS has got me going mad, been trying to make it work since i got my hands on first gear, now i have a second and i have a gear fit.
I was ten minutes too late to grab a gear 2 at a good price.
I view this thread everyday hoping for android wear ported to our beloved gear quick noob
question could the gear 2 android wear port work on my gear 1 if I flashed it as I flashed the
tizen mod 3.0 for gear 2 on my gear 1 by mistake once and it booted up it was just the camera didn't work thinking is this the same thing or am I way off?
Thanks
What happens if I flash "Wearez-20150129-TEST-ls02.zip"?

Hey guys. Need some advice. Got a new galaxy gear 1st edition for Xmas. I have not opened it and am debating returning it. Is this thing worth using at this point or is it already outdated ? I presently have a galaxy s3 which is running a cm kit kat variant. I really would rather not switch to touch wiz to use this device. I'm very familiar with flashing roms so if there is a good rom to flash that makes this device great please let me know.
Is this still a decent device? I have never used a smart watch before so it intrigues me.. However I will most likely be upgrading my phone in February or so. Not sure if I will even be getting another samsung. I honestly do not even have the faintest recollection what I would use a smart watch for. If it is just for notifications, I would rather not use the device. I hardly even use notifications on my phone (only ones enabled are text messages).
Tl;dr: got gear for Xmas. Don't have touch wiz. Should I return this?

It's all up to you whether you would like to keep it or return it.
There is enough information on this board to make up your mind about that.
The only think I can tell, is that I absolutely love my watch and I'm glad I kept it
(I got it for free and hesitated to sell it).
With the Null rom, the watch really is so much better than stock, even though the Android version is outdated (Android 4.2.2).
But, from what I understand, someone is trying to port Android Wear onto our watch.
So when he succeeds, the watch is totally up-to-date again.
But for now, I am already happy with what the watch can do already.
But keep in mind, the main purpose of the watch is to indeed receive notifications which appear on the phone.
Nice benefit is that you can call and receive calls with the watch.
Do notifications work with aosp roms? Or do I need touch wiz?

As I have owned both a S4 and S5, but both of them with TW based roms, I can't exactly tell you.
But I've read that people got it working on AOSP roms or even other brands phones (like Nexus, LG, etc).
Or you can use other software than Gear Manager, like SWApp Link
Anyway, there are possibilities but none of them easier than on a TW rom.
Thanks for your help. I think im gonna return this device and wait until the technology matures more before I decide to jump in. Much appreciated.
Hi, i found a problem or bug.
I have Galaxy Gear S3 Frontire and the i tray to call or answer a call.

I dont know whay wont work with OTHERS ROMs.....
I TRAY EVERYTHING.....
HELP ?
THANkS......
Sorry my bad english
That's because all the other roms are made with patched files. They made it that way so you would be more inclined to use their crappy OS. This is one of the reasons devs don't buy their devices.

Don't be too upset over it. Samsung smart watches have some trouble will all devices unless they are Samsung device. They programmed it the same way. To make you use their hardware as well. Soon mix and matching devices and wearable will not be an option. Heck we even found files on Samsung devices that prevented them from pairing with certain car brands.
