Samsung Galaxy Gear with Android Wear

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:

How do I start with porting/modifying ROMs for this device?

Hello everyone, I have no experience with crating apps for Android or creating ROMs and such, I would like some help on how to start doing it in my free time.
For example, I was thinking about when Lineage OS 16 finally gets released, to have a look on the code (I'm not new to coding though I haven't worked on any serious projects yet, mainly because I don't know what to work on) and maybe try to port it to my PRA-LX1 device. I just want someone to show me what to look for.
Thank you for your time.

Can I install a fresh or stock Android on Note 8? I don't need any apps from Samsung

Hi all,
I am a long time IOS user, I usually buy the new Note every year because I love it's design, I feel like it made for me, but also usually I use it for maximum 1 week and sell it, I am sorry but really I hate the Android which made by Samsung.
My question is, can I use the note 8 like a Windows PC or laptop? when a new version of windows released I download it and install it on my PC, Can I install a clean, original, pure, not edited and up to date Android on my Note 8? before you say anything about Samsung's features, I don't want them, I need the Note 8 design on a clean Android.
I searched a lot on Google but I could't find an answer so I hope someone can help me here.
My Note 8 model is SM-N950F /DS
Regards

To my knowledge Exynos source code isn't fully released, and Snapdragons lock the bootloader. That explains why there's less AOSP development (or none). You can check the rom threads for what's available, but they might not suit your needs.

Thanks sefrcoko, are the ROMs made by Google or by developers? Can I trust all of them or I must be careful?

The custom roms are made by devs, not Google. "Pure" Android firmware is made by Google but you can't flash those firmwares on a Samsung device (just like you can't flash Samsung firmware on Google phones, LG phones, etc.). AOSP custom roms will give you the pure vanilla experience on Samsung, but there hasn't been much (or maybe anything) like that here, for the reasons I mentioned in my previous post.
Take a look at what's available in the rom threads... The more active ones tend to have many posts and recognized devs. Either way I've never had a custom rom that contained malware, etc., but root in itself means less security than stock. Of course read up and ask questions if you have any doubt about something along the way (but search first though lol)

Stock Android for SM-T713

Hi guys, just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8 inch (SM-T713). It’s been a while since I had a android tablet so I can’t remember the steps I need to do to root etc. I’ll figure it out. What I am struggling to find is any info on a nice clean stock rom similar to that found on Google’s own android devices. Anyone any ideas? Does any exist?

Looking For Advice: Galaxy J7 Sky Pro

Hello.
I'm new to Ubuntu Touch. I didn't even know it existed until a few months ago.
I have a Galaxy J7 Sky Pro, Android of course, and I am wondering what it would take for me to wipe it and load Ubuntu Touch onto it?
It is running Android 6.0.1.
I know this is kind of a crazy question probably, but I think it might be a neat project to toy around with.
Thank you!
