I am planning to buy a Android Wear (Specifically the Moto 360).
I've already checked the android wear test site and it was compatible with my Nokia X2 (because it was based on 4.3}.
I still have doubts if this can run alongside with my phone knowing that this phone initially doesn't support Google Apps.
Can anyone confirm that this (Nokia X2) is working with an android wear product.

Did you get one and is it compatible? The WearCheck site says it's compatible at least.
Not yet.

Question, do we need the android wear app to be installed to nokia x2. If so, does the app require google play services?

You need to know that everything that you will do with your android wear watches is ask google voice search (run apps, reply messages and everything else). So, of course you need installed google play services, play store and google now app (and actually many more google apps because other's developers apps not compatibility with android wear.

Well yes. I still didn't brought one so I don't know what are the required apps to be installed. Sad, but though I love this phone im considering buying a zenfone 6 so I can use the smartwatch properly.

The Moto 360 has suddenly stopped as incompatible on http://g.co/WearCheck when checking from the X2. It say's 4.3 is required and your phone is Android but not a 4.3 :S
That's weird. It showed as compatible a few weeks ago.
So the Gear VR SDK has been released here: https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/
It includes APKs for Oculus' Cinema, 360 videos and 360 photos apps and the source code for all of them. This is all apparently only comparable with the Note 4, so if anyone can test and report back if they can get it working with Cardboard and so on that'd be great
Big question for me is device support - tried installing the APKs to my Nexus 5 - they crashed upon startup (probably because I'm on Lollipop). If anyone can try get these, especially the cinema, working, that'd be fantastic

All the apks installed but it wont run without the gear vr. Each app just brings up the vr manager.

Would be great if someone could get them working on Cardboard
Cheers, well....seeing as the source for all 3 apps is in the SDK, maybe someone can build a version from the ground up that does not require the Gear VR/bypasses the Gear VR Manager?
Also in the Cinema app, the only scene that's available is the default home theater, so no big theatre, IMAX or moon layouts yet...people can build their own though.
Screen shots of the video included.

So you dont have a Note 4, don't want to get a Gear VR but want their work for low anyway eh?
There are already VR cinemas for Google Cardboard like

And now leave our Gear VR Cinema alone, don't steal it

Hey i have a galaxy Note 4 but the Gear VR is nowhere to be found in France...
Maybe December...but probably january or even later...
Anyway, i would to welcome any headstart even if it means to use it in some google cardboard VR kind
Bumping because I came across a version of Oculus Cinema that actually starts up and everything on my Nexus 5...
http://apk-s.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.oculus.cinema/308/8408322/Oculus Cinema
This is where I get to on my Nexus:
Now the next step would be getting the controls (apparently they work through mouse via bluetooth?) and the head tracking to work internally as opposed to through an external tracker like Gear VR or OpenGear http://www.open-gear.com/
I bought my nephew a Nokia 530 for Christmas. Unfortunately the app store doesn't have his 3 favorite apps. Is there away to install google play or amazon app store to this phone? Thanks for any help

Quick answer is no. Google Play Store and Amazon App Store are for Android devices only.
Every Windows Phone 8.x device is only Windows Phone, and you can't load any other OS or market. If you want Android apps then buy Android device.
Equivalent question: "I bought my nephew an iPad for Christmas, and the app store doesn't have his three favorite apps. Is there any way I can install Google Play (or any other Android app) on an iPad?"
What you asked for is exactly the same as doing that. Android is as different from Windows Phone as it is from iOS, or as iOS and Windows Phone are from each other. They are different operating systems, with different security models, application models, and application ecosystems.
Closed this thread as the question has been answered.
I'm looking for an inexpensive tablet to run the Tacx Cycling App available through the Google Play Store. It appears that one can download the Google Play store to the basic 2015 Amazon Fire 7 but I'm wondering if having done so that I could actually get the Tacx Cycling App to function correctly with the Fire 7.
The Tacx Cycling app mentions:
Works with Android 4.3+
Connecting to Bluetooth devices requires Bluetooth 4.0 support on your tablet.
I'm hoping that Fire 5.XXXX is Android like enough to work with the app but working from a limited knowledge of the topic.
Thanks for any educated thoughts on the topic.

Yes. FireOS is essentially heavily skinned Android. Unless the app relies on Google Play Services you can run the app on FireOS.
If your OS version is <5.3.2, however, there are custom ROMs that give you stock Android goodness (AICP and Fire Nexus, CM12.1 is there but discontinued), and you can run any Play Store app.

Thanks Negusp,
For the current $39 selling price, it makes for an attractive computer to use specifically for this purpose. Bike computers cost nearly 10 X as much and won't control the trainer as well.
Cheers,

Hi, I just got the Note 9 alongside the gear vr and as much as I am enjoying the oculus experience there's a few things I would like to do that are only accessible through daydream.
I looked through a certain amount of videos and forums, but they seemed to be outdated as the methods enabling me to do it, aren't available anymore.(or there's one but it involves paying on playstore for an app that looks dubious for my view).
Does anyone know any way that I could enjoy daydream with the Gear VR?
Try the app 'Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR' from VKingMobi. You will find it in the Play Store.
