When going to the apps portion of the watch, apps I hardly use on my phone show up. Like American Airlines. I don't need or want that on my watch, but would love to have Spotify there, or What'sApp.
Can someone advise? Thanks.

Hey all
I am the proud owner of the ultimate geek accessory, the gear. I also have a totally stock att note 3. Because of this, for now I want to leave the gear unrooted. So which apps do you recommend? I know some require data so they are not practical just yet. What apps do you use? What games? I tried candy crush (cute) and mouse. I would love to listen to ebook in the car.....
Thanks for any recommendations!
if the gear is unrooted, then aren't your only options what's available in the Samsung store inside the gear manager app?
I can still side load with abd
I've been searching everywhere trying to find a way to use a keyboard to respond to messages. I sideloaded one but without null it's pointless. There has to be a way though.. For example voice memos and pictures can be sent to the device, and you can reply to sms with preset responses so why wouldn't it be possible for the gear to communicate typed responses to the sms app over it's default connection. I think the most realistic solution would be a 3rd party sms app for the phone that has a companion app for the gear, then a sideloaded keyboard, I have a feeling the keyboard would be the main issue (development-wise), but I'm holding out hope. If only I were a developer. In the meantime it's plenty useful to me.. Between the universal notifications, music control, weather, schedule & caller-ID & dialer I'm content for now. If I had paid $300 for it I might be a little less satisfied, but overall it's great fun for gadget people.
Using "sources other than Samsung Apps"
I was wondering about this too. There's an option in Gear Manager you can check that allows you to install apps from "sources other than Samsung Apps". I have no idea how to actually install other apps, or if there are any other apps I can install on the device from a non-Samsung source. Any thoughts?
Okay, side loading using a db and totally stock: subway surfers, candy crush, mouse, 100 floors (a little hard); blast monkeys (looks a little weird), building tower
Still trying out others
Howdy yall!!! just got a galaxy gear and would like to know a quick and easy way to root and be able to run different apps on the watch. different watch faces besides the slim to few that are on the play store and that come preinstalled. how to web browse. run snapchat on it. ect ect. and please keep in mind im new to this and the easier the better!!! thanks yall!!!!
Hey guys,
Is there any system apps or tasks that I can't ever freeze?
All google apps like Google Docs, Sheets, Play Movies, Play Games, Google+ etc. Then various Google keyboard inputs which you are not using like I am not using Google Korean so disabled it. HP Print service, Photos (I don't take online backup of photos so don't need it).
Avoid using Facebook app, instead use browser for FB and G+.
No need to disable Moto Service, afterall these features are what make it a MotoX and also turning any of those service doesn't make any big difference in battery life or performance.
Once you disable the above services/apps, nothing useless left.

Thanks for the reply, man.
But I want to make a new question.
As we navigate on Rom Toolbox (for example), we see a lot of tasks there and somethings I neved heard of... I'd like to know which one of them I can freeze and which ones I can't ever because it would shut the system down.
Don't freeze anything unless you know what it is, and have a specific reason for freezing it.
A lot can actually be frozen depending on what 3rd party apps you use. I actually freeze/disable a ton of stuff on my phone!
If you use a 3rd party camera, you can uninstall the stock one.
Tags is another, i don't even have a clue what this is for but i've never had a drawback from disabling or uninstalling it.
Sound recorder.
I could go on and list a whole bunch, but i really don't know what you have installed for 3rd party.
The thread title pretty much has it. I want absolutely nothing other than apps I actually use on the watch to make it easier to nagivate to those I do use, how do I block apps like Amazon from being installed on the watch?

Only apps with an Android Wear interface get loaded to the watch. Do you have Android Wear apps from the Amazon store? I haven't found any yet.
Runkeeper and Amazon are from the store, I'd also like to get the LG pulse and agenda off. I don't like voice making every unused app a speed bump.
work profile apps don't show up in recent apps, but rather get minimized to upper left corner.
it doesn't work that way on my Note 4, so I'm wondering if maybe there's some Samsung app installed on newer Note phones that makes work profile apps behave this way.
does anyone have any idea?
I'll give "thanks" to anyone who might have a clue on what I can do, thanks!
