UPDATED - v1.2 removes the double messages from some apps, fixes another bug.
I wanted a way to get other notifications to the Gear without having to run another client app on the Gear.
There is another project (ATN) that initially used the Email notification to do this. I liked this approach because it was simple, used the gear manager as the delivery mechanism, and the Email notification app on the gear which is robust enough to handle long notifications.
I reached out to Dattas Moonchaser, who wrote the popular Pebble Notifier to see if I could use his app as my base. He obliged so here it is....
Install this on your phone, there is nothing to install on the Gear. The only thing you need to know is to go into Accessibility settings and give Gear Getter permissions (it has a big RED link for this when you launch the app). Also make sure you have Email notification checked in the Gear Manager.
Here are some better instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47449016&postcount=119
Once you enable Accessibility you are able to setup your apps you want to receive notifications from. Couple cool things..
- There is the ability to setup filters
- Ability to setup quiet times
- There is tasker integration (I haven't messed with this)
- This reads the data from the expanded view so you should get pretty robust notifcations
- Easy on the battery
If you feel the need to donate, please do it from the app, and it will go to Dattas who would appreciate it.

Quick question..
I did not install anything yet but I wanted to understand this. Do we install on both the gear and the phone ?
Where does it pull information from ?
I never used the app before, I just wanted some more info before I experiment with it.
And does it require 4.3 ?
Thanks
Can you read the notifications from the gear with this ?.

You only install it on the phone, there is nothing to install on the gear. It uses the built in Email notification on the gear to display the notifications.
You tell it which apps you want to receive notifications from on your gear.
This doesn't require 4.3, but the Gear Manager does (which this uses).

This send notifications from your phone (for the applications you select) to the gear, using the Email notification on the gear to display them.
Thanks, checking it out. I want to see if I can get Instagram notifications. I will report back.
So far so good! Gmail is sending full subject and body of emails! However, when you click "Show On Device" it launches the stock email client instead of gmail. It sounds like that's because it uses the email notification methods.

Great! The logic for getting the notification details is pretty battle tested so I would expect the content it sends to the gear to be pretty good and mostly match what you would see in an expanded notification on your phone.
The Show On Device I don't think I will get to be able to actually work to open the app on the phone....
Tried twice to install apk and it crashes my Note 3, it reboots on it's own and the apk is not installed .
Strange it doesn't do anything at my end.. I do not get any notifications. Could possibly show a short video of how it works??? Do I need to select the Email in Gear Manager .. Cause I aint getting any Noti's....

Ok it works on my stock rom but not on roms i'm using in SafeStrap slots .

Under FilterList in the settings it states Pebble. FYI.
Ok, this does not work for me. Although it is probably because I running an S4 on 4.2 so far. Waiting for the update to be online.
I'll have to wait for the update to get me to 4.3 for the gear manager to work properly. I have limited functionality still
UPDATE : Well, email does not work, only get recipients name showing, but on the other hand, texting works (using sms pro)
But everything displays double, I mean I see the text and who is from and then under s separator I see it again with just a bit smaller fonts. Don't know why, maybe a setting I need to play with ?
I am glad at least for the texts for now.
Ok strange , after i boot into stock rom and then back to rom slot i installed .

LOL thanks, must have missed that one... It will work for the Gear even though it says Pebble.
I would like to point out that using this method if you use the stock browser it will talk to you and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to stop it.
Also last I knew if you were on a note 2 it will also talk when opening and closing folders and when switching home screens

Crazy! I use Chrome so didn't notice but you are right. More research shows its a bug with Samsung. I'll switch over to the 4.3 method using the security setting in the next few days. Until then I suggest using Chrome.
Hi all.. Updated the Assist app a few days back and now it does not have custom auto reply options for Driving mode. (Accessed through the right arrow after 'Talk to me')
Contacted support and clearing app cache was their solution which obviously didn't work.
I have yet to test it while driving; whether it is now providing the options through voice control whether to send an auto reply or to dictate a reply or if it even offers to send a reply. It looks like they just removed the most helpful update since its initial release.
Has anyone else also noticed the same?

I've noticed this as well. I don't use auto reply, I use voice reply. But I could see how this could be useful to some people.
I noticed that, too it appears none of the settings for assist in driving mode (the arrow to the right) are there anymore, was wondering if it's an error on their part, or intended.
I was trying to recall, isn't it there, in the now missing settings where one can also opt for things like "read out the name of the incoming caller"?

Don't remember that setting... I even left a 1 star review after this update and they haven't responded which they normally do for such reviews. I think if it would have been a bug then they would've solved it out pretty quickly seeing how obvious it is, don't think it would've reached the Play Store.
No root needed!

I just purchased it for my new Huawei watch. Let's see how it goes . Android Wear needs that sort of interaction (I cannot use voice all the time!)

Hi
The software works as advertised. Thanks for the excellent software. However, this is my wishlist:
In Whatsapp and Telegram notifications, the profile picture of the person who sent the message doesn't not appear on the watch if i use Quick for Wear. However, the picture appears if i disable Quick and use the standard Whatsapp
There is no emoji keyboard or no way to use at the same time Quick reply and draw an emoji feature of Google wear
This is limitation for Android Wear. If someones send a picture in Whatsapp, I only get a notification but i cannot see the image on the watch. I don't know if someone could write an app or if you can add this to Quick
Also a limitation of Android Wear (and not related to Quick), you can only reply to messages and not create a new message. I hope Google can implement this later
Again, Thank you for this app. Being able to reply to messages on the watch is great )

Let me answer you point to point:
This is normal. We have picture mirroring planned but not implemented yet.
You can actually access an emoji list long pressing the lightning icon
This could be done, but I'm not sure it would be a good idea to bring it in Quick. I'll investigate
This can be done only with root and xposed at the moment

Thanks for answers. I didn't know about the emoji, very handy I will be waiting for the picture mirroring
Too bad i cannot root my S6 without tripping Knox so xposed is out of the question at the moment. Sending a SMS or hangout is not as popular as Whatsapp here

Do you have planned to add the number 4? It would be very cool if I can send messages without waiting for somebody to message me and Instead just open an app in my watch and send it directly.
Enable issue
Just bought the app recently but can't seem to enable the notification/app. Currently using the Huawei p8w 5.0.1 with a moto 360 v1.
After selecting the app for notifications, it still shows up as "Disabled"
Tried changing the notification settings but still not working, app isnt showing up on my watch either.
Anyone with the same issue?

try restarting your phone. the state you see there is directly changed by the operating system, so if it's not changing, it's because the phone is not giving permissions to access notifications to the app.

Not really, Quick was projected as a no-root solution. Wear Messenger has an xposed module and antiviruses keep throwing false alarms on it. (and the 360 security support is not doing anything). I don't want the same plague to kill Quick.

Yes, please keep it as a non-root solution. Or in case you ever implemented it, maybe use a two programs solution: one normal and one root

Hey ! I own the Moto 360 2nd and "Quick for Wear".
Problem: I enabled the keyboard but if i get a whatsapp message i cant repley with keyboard
WHY? pls help me.
Hi
Sometimes, the toggle for Quick for Wear is set by itself to disable, However, the toggle is still on in the notification access settings. I have to re-enable it to start receving notifications on the watch.
It is totally random

About point 3, I don't know if it's possible but it would be awesome if you can add it. Maybe a good way to open the image and not make the conversation difficult to read is, when someone send an image you will see in the chat: Image, and when you tap on it you see the image.
I don't know how difficult it would be, I really like your work with that app, as bought it some days ago and I'm so happy with it but if you can add it the app will be just perfect.
Pd: Sorry for my English, I'm from Spain and I'm still studying it hahaha

When the notification is received, when you tap on it I assume it's supposed to open the app for you to reply. On my urbane it says that the app stopped working. Any ideas? I tried clearing data for the app.

For SMS notifications, if you tap on them, Drextee Messenger will open so you can reply to the message.
For email notifications, if you swipe from right to left, you will see several options for deleting, archiving, and replying. If you tap on the reply icon, Drextee Messenger will open.
Did the app stop working every time you tapped on the notification?

Yes, the app stops as soon as I tap on the notification.
Also, an option to mark the message as read will be handy, my phone light indicator will keep blinking if I dismiss the message. Having this "read" option will address this, just like the native messaging app that comes with the watch.
Also, one suggestion: relocate or make the numeric/symbol key bigger. I can't seem to be able to press it on my urbane. Perhaps you can add it as a long press option on the space key, or add it to the settings sub-menu

Hi there, big fan of the app.. Any possibility to mark the sms as read ?
Every time I answer or read the sms from my watch, the notification do disappear from notification center, however, it is still marked as unread in the sms application which will therefore display an indicator meaning that some message are not read....

Hi Aanze,
Unfortunately, that's not possible. Since Android 4.4, only the default SMS app can mark a message in the SMS inbox as read. Because of this, your default SMS app
thinks that you haven't read the message.
Thank you very much for using Drextee Messenger!

Hi, enable edge lighting for the messaging app. When new message arrived, try to pull down the notification. Then it will open the messaging app in a pop-up window, after that you may minimize the window into chat head.
