Hello everyone!
This is my first attempt at porting Android Wear to the Galaxy Gear! I am not an experienced dev and this was done fairly quickly using null_23 as a base and the Gear Live system dump. This is not at all ready and definitely not ready to flash. If you do decide to flash it, you risk bricking your device. That being said, I am requesting that a more experienced dev check over my work. If it seems in order, then it will be tested, until such a time, test at your own risk.

UPDATE: [ONLY FOR BRAVE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN TESTING]: Since I used null_ as the base, the addons are still available, but please do not flash any of them! And use the stock kernel for the time being!
UPDATE 2: It might be a good idea to try using the custom kernel we have available to us. If I can get an updater script from the gear live or other android wear device and look in to modifying the bootclasspath in the preexisting custom kernel that we have.
UPDATE 3: I have figured out how to modify the bootclasspath, will make the modification shortly. I just need an updater script for an android wear device and we may have a booting android wear port.
UPDATE 4: Link to Attempt 2 coming soon. This has a modified updater script that will hopefully set all permissions correctly. This may be all it needs to boot properly. If not, then I may still need some help getting the Gear Live Kernel to modify our kernel's bootclasspath. If anyone would like to flash this, same as before, I can't guarantee anything will work or that your device will work afterward.

UPDATE 5: added my slightly modified updater files from fomey's null_ ROM attached at the bottom. fomey, if we get this working, could you package it in to null_ as a second ROM option?

Dude, you are fast!
I will not try it out right away because i just set up Null 23 and cloudnotifier so that to have notifications on the iPhone.
BTW, is there any chance that it will work with an iPhone. Ala Google Glass, that is.

I just tried it out with the installation through TWRP, definitely not working as you said yet, just boot loops. I've been looking around in the zip and I see no problems that were noticeable. Hopefully this port of android wear can happen!

Thank you for testing so quickly! I'm glad it did not cause any serious issues to your device. I will do some talking with some devs I know and see what I can get worked out. Porting to the 1 will actually be easier than to the 2 or Neo, since there is an android base for the 1, unlike the 2 and Neo which are Tizen only.
Do you have a change log? If this is based on Null, it's still 4.2, while the wear launcher, if I remember correctly, requires a newer version of Android, probably 4.4. Just curious what your plans are to deal with that. Seems to me the only real options are either editing the wear app or porting 4.4 aosp and hoping the launcher works. Theoretically, the gear live dump could be ported but the major difference between cpus makes it a much more difficult task than people originally hoped. I think the best chance would be if a dev team (ie CM) were to pick up the protect, but there's the downside to a large bounty: there's a lot of people wanting to go it alone for the cash.

Trust me, I'm not doing this in an attempt to get the bounty. The money doesn't interest me at all. As far as the change log goes, this is the absolute first attempt, so there hasn't been anything changed yet. So again, this was a quick attempt in an effort to get the ball rolling and get the community involved in the development.

No worries, I didn't think you were. You didn't have the typical billion "Donate please!" links that they would.
But what does first attempt mean? Just null kernel and modules with gear live system folder? I know a little about these things so I'd like to take a look, mostly out of curiosity, so I'd like to know what you've already done, preliminary as it is.
I agree though, we needed some kind of thread started and I agree that it's too early to put anything in the development forum.

Not just a swapped out system folder. the base of the null_ system folder is still there. I only migrated the things necessary for a standard port. The only issue is that there is no ROM for the gear live yet, so a proper permissions section is not available for me to port from the updater script of the live to the updater script of the galaxy gear. I'm pretty convinced that if someone with a little more knowledge than myself edited the updater script permissions section to set the proper permissions for the new files, that this would at least boot.
Hi guys, I stumbled across this ebay listing item number 161368138405 . The seller claims he will update your gear to 4.4.2 for £25 + p & p , I have emailed the developer a link to the bounty thread, hopefully he may be able to help.

Its some fake **** i think.
Would like to se a device info screen screenshot.
In the pictures he wirtes "This is not for the watch"
And later on "(1) Watch will become android 4,4,2"
Does he know what he is selling or not?
When he says "This is not for the watch", I think he means that you are not buying the watch in the picture. That is, you are not buying the physical watch, just the software upgrade.
I think it is high risk when you send your watch to him.

RevengeDevTeam: I have not necessarily classified this as a ROM, since it currently doesn't boot. That's why this is listed in the general thread. I am working on it, but there are no guarantees right now.

Yeah, the listing was ended by the poster because there was an error in the listing. I bet he got scared cause people started to figure him out.

I have read that thread
But i have been using xposed for too long that incant now do anything without it
I recently upgraded to official lolipop in my GT-I9500
Now cannot install xposed
I guess i have to wait for it intill it becomes compatible with lolipop
I'm also very much used to xPosed that i cant go on without it.
and xPosed the the only reason I'm not upgrading to Lollipop
and the wait is going longer n longer

You should upgrade to Lollipop. Rovo89 said that he is working on it only for some hours per month, and for me this does not sound like actively developed project.

Yes i upgraded to lolipop
And without xposed using my phn seems a little incomplete
Hope xposed comes out soon
Just upgraded my phone to Android 5.0.2 myself, and it really feels like my phone is missing something. Android 5 already looks nice, but there's these small tweaks Xposed makes possible, that would make it perfect.
Crossing my fingers for future updates
Downgrade to 4.4 and stay on it forever. Xposed is most probably dead since August or September 2014.

Kindly elaborate plz
It isn't dead. Just because rovo isn't here giving progress reports, doesn't mean he isn't working on it. He's specifically said he won't give progress reports or publish any work in progress code until he's ready, so lack of new information means nothing really, apart from he's doing what he said he would.
There are comments here that indicate he hasn't given up, just for example - https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/18

Thanks for that link. I'm glad that one day I'll have a reason to upgrade to Lollipop.
android without xposed is...
without xPosed,
no xPrivacy, without xPrivacy, apps go f**kin around and collecting every bit of my data,
no Amplify to control wakelocks, alarms and services
no advanced greenify
no Wanam Xposed for samsung tweaks
no XHaloFloatingWindow
no Network Speed Indicator
no Native Clip Board
and lots of other important tweaks that i always use on every rom and device like wifikeyview, vpndialog xposed, screen filter, ds battery saver, disable service, gravity box, fake wifi etc etc

Stop and read the threads before you post this. There is progress, he's not updating
No new code does not mean he's not working on it.
If that would be the case we won't see a newer Android Version that Lollipop because there is no newer source code...
I read from Rovos posts, that he is working on ART-compatibility and understanding how the new runtime works. In my understanding that means, he won't release a new BETA or a new source until he had success with making it work basically. Possibly then we have a source-code and he'll do refinements.

I did tell you this before, but perhaps you missed it. To that end, I'll repeat it.
rovo specifically said he would not be publishing any work in progress code on his GitHub or anywhere else until it was at a state where he was confident that other contributors could effectively assist.
In the absence of any statement changing that stance, then everyone can assume that's the reason that there's no activity on his GitHub.
Until stated otherwise, there's zero reason to assume that he's abandoned work on Xposed as the lack of visible activity is entirely intended, especially since comments on issues on GitHub point to the fact that he's still working on it.
Sent from my C6603
As far as I'm concerned, Xposed is the only reason not to upgrade to L. If you can do without it, then it's absolutely worth the upgrade!
All,
Please... No arguing in here. Either make constructive posts that hold value or don't post at all. If this continues then the thread goes bye-bye.
Just curious I've tried googling it but when are we getting exposed modules? Do we have them already and I'm just naming it different or what's going on ? Thanks for any answers

Xposed doesn't work with Lollipop for various reasons. Rovo89 is working on it, but there is no ETA on it. My guess is that it won't be anytime soon that we see it.
There is apparently a different one in the works, that is similar at least in spirit to Xposed, but it isn't released yet (source).

Thanks for the reply man I really want Pandora patcher that's why I ask :/
I've notice there are no update on this mission; so has this been aborted?.
Should we place a reward for this project?.
I would expect Omni to get it going eventually, but I think we're all waiting to see if 5.1 will actually give us a truly stable build to work off of before the really complicated mods come out.
This was actually the main reason I added xposed. Xhalo floating window does work pretty well (running version 2.41-lollipop2). Just don't activate the systemui modifications. Otherwise, works fine.

No one is bothering to work on an alpha build. Nothing will be done until the OS is released in 7 months or so. This is not meant to be a daily driver.
This is why developers get so upset when these builds are published to normal people.

well to be fair, google is using the phrase "android beta", and making this open as an OTA for a reason. From my usage so far, the N beta seems very daily driver friendly, friendlier than L, M previews were the past two years.
i think these "Devs" you speak of can probably calm their testicles... Unless i'm mistaken, this community is for everyone, regardless of what the website name is.
I'm not here asking for Johnny hacker codemaster extraordinaire to fire up some chillstep and fix this for me. I'm simply posing a question to the community. Perhaps a lowly peasant Joe shmoe has come across something, and would see my post and share.

appreciate the response. Unfortunately, the method i use is via custom recovery with adb, and no luck. I was able to successfully edit the build prop via this method, but the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line no longer seems to have any effect like it did in Lollipop and Marshmallow.

Yes they did release it for a reason. So app developers have an idea of the changes coming. It is not meant as a daily driver.
You have no idea how people are laughing at requests like this.
No this Alpha build was just released yesterday and to be honest most people that could help with this are not even running it. Only people that dont know better are using it.
tethering works fine right out of the box on N, no need to unlock it. unless you are asking to tether "free" on your provider, then you have to just find your way for now.
This works I just tested it. Im on verizon udp. turn off wifi. First eject sim card (don't need to take it all the way out). turn on hotspot through settings not the quick tile. As soon as you toggle the hotspot on push the sim card back in.

Google made this available as an OTA via the beta program so that even non super elite devs can check it out. Yes it's not meant for daily use, that part is clear on the beta page; yell down from your high horse when you have some inside info that the general public is not aware of.
Once again, this post is CLEARLY NOT a "request" like you're going on about. As an android enthusiast, i'm here discussing the next version of android with other enthusiasts.

Well as tethering is enabled by default then your question is answered. If you want to do it for free then that bypasses a paid service which would make it warez and banned from the site.
If you want to tether then pay for the option. Simple solution.
