[Samsung Galaxy Gear] LatinLeon85:
Hi everyone, first post VV pop.. lol

First i wanna say THANK YOU, to all who put hard work into this. I have been lurking for about 4 years, and i have since successfully rooted and rom'd my galaxy s vibrant my bothers s2 my s3, s4, note 2 and soon my note 3.

I am in no way a dev or try to be... and i thank you all that are because with you guys i would have to conform and settle for how things come out of the box!

Anyway, i have successfully rooted my gear and using wondershare i have loaded a few apps and the win 8 launcher ( no judgement i like the way it looks on the watch... the tiles work nice) My main reason for posting is, has anyone tried to load google search or the voice search on it so we can use that to speak a text cause who doesnt hate s voice.... i have tried installing voice search and google search, i get an error for network when i try to use it. I know gears dont have network but if svoice can work maybe google could using the phones network, maybe bluetooth tether like the google glass?

i know the phones can be on airplane mod and voice to text using google voice typing works. i think this would make the gear all the better...

best case scenario, adding full google now features... WHAT?! sorry excited for technology.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] VIthe3rd:
Will this lead to an active data connection to the Gear eventually? Would be cool to be able to watch You tube or stream something like Slacker or Pandora to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] blazespinnaker:
Slick. Thanks Photonic!

Btw, the step regarding downloading drivers to watch .. nothing happened for that step on my device, so maybe you just need to install them on your win box?

Also, I didn't install anything beyond what the cydia app did. I just use "adb shell" and then run su, which gives me root.

Do a lot of damage with that, so be careful..

Help = Files on Galaxy Gear

I just rooted my galaxy gear. I am having trouble with how to load the files onto the watch. Can someone please help me out with it. Do I have to go into download mode? Do I have to use cydia impactor? Does the watch show up in my computer like a hd?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
ummmmmmmmm....

push apk via adb or use wondershare mobilego

Overclocking??

Have anyone built any kernel to allow overclocking beyond 800MHz?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
I'll try contacting some other people that are more experienced than I am to see if they can help me make a recovery (what we need before ROMs or kernels) I'll also try contacting someone who may be able to help me make a custom ROM.

If anyone here kows how to make a recovery/ROM, or knows someone who can, please contact me through PM!

I have college, work, and stuff. I have been trying to learn to compile a recovery, but I just have so little time! Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chhaggerty:
Thanks for you effort, I have some limited skills with linux and adb, and have used the posts here to root and install apps. I have never done development, but would be willing to assist and support. Keep up the good work, I think the gear has huge potential with a custom rom, esp if we can get bluetooth tethering working.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
OK, instead of trying to use the android device as a keyboard, I'll try to get internet tethering working. I'll update you guys along the way! Though it'd be hard without some kind of recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
adb reboot recovery

however, it is not touch enabled and there is only one hardware button (hence 1 menu item I guess?). would be good to get philz touch recovery ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Yeah, just saying that there is a recovery there that we can replace (no idea how to get into view keypresses unless there is an option to choose recovery or download mode at same screen?)

Ok I'm doing something wrong for sure. I had the Samsung divers on the pc prior just rooted my note 3 there as well as other phones. Also using stock usb cable for the gear and it shows charging when plugged in so know it its connected. Installed the adb as well but for some reason the pc can't see the watch. Run the device list and nothing shows. Tried this on 2 window 7 machines and even on a Mac no luck on any of them.

Anyone have any suggestions and yes USB Debug is and was checked on the watch. Even unchecked and re checked several times just in case.

Help please

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Adamallica:
Bluetooth Tethering?

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it, but there's only one feature that I'm looking for to make this device absolutely amazing - internet connection through Bluetooth. I'm not very familiar with Android development, but it doesn't seem like it should be that difficult; am I wrong?

I have a Liftmaster garage door with an internet gateway, so I'm able to control my lighting and the garage door from my phone, but I would totally love the ability to control it through the watch. Since the apk is easily installable, all it would need is internet capability through Bluetooth to work, right?

Also, apps like Jefit (workout tracker), netcam, and Nest (thermostat) would make this watch's feature set that much better...

Is this capability more difficult than I think? Once Bluetooth tethering is achieved, would the apps that require an internet connection automatically work, or would they have to be tweaked to look for the connection through Bluetooth rather than through Wi-Fi or Cellular? Would a custom Rom fix this?

Sorry for my ignorance - I'm a lover of gadgets, but kind of stupid when it comes to development....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
Unfortunately it isn't quite that easy... The Bluetooth driver and software that goes with it (and sometimes the hardware) that dictate the feature set. Bottom line is, Without a new Bluetooth stack, you can't add new features to a device.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
i remember many years ago, when symbian was ruling smartphones, i was being able to tether internet from my pc through bluetooth to my n-gage qd using 'gnubox'. if it was possible back then, then i think it's just a matter of time till someone do something similar. lack of tethering really limit the use of this device. i would love to be able to control my pc using this smart watch..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] trevor7428:
To me, it seems like someone would have to create/ port a LiftMaster mini app. That once pressed button on watch. It would send a single (Bluetooth) to phone saying open garage. Without the need to tether to watch.

I agree that would be sweet. I have LiftMaster internet Gateway, garage, and light switch.

But yes if Bluetooth tethering was achieved on gear. It would be more likely to see then someone creating an app specifically for gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
From what I've seen, only way to route data is through the gear app itself:

Watch app -> Gear app -> Phone app -> Internet

We'll find out more once the sdk is released

Stupid question I root for two reasons,

1) Remove bloatware. It is a watch I can not imagine it has much bloatware.

2) Custom ROMs. There are no customer ROMs

Why root?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SkipKelley:
To run widgets, nova launcher ( have to move from /data/apps to /system/apps). I haven't tried Titanium back up, but will.

Do wallpapers.

Lots of reasons for root.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Wrathlon:
I noticed some files that reference MTP browsing around on mine...wonder if itd be possible to implement?

Bluetooth internet tethering will be the most important thing I think as it's the only thing holding a lot of stuff back. Shazam springs to mind as a good example of something the gear would be PERFECT for.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
Every time I modify any part of the bluetooth APK and I reboot the device, the bluetooth crashes. I'm really trying, but I'm not too great with this evidently...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SS4Luck:
So my note 3 and gesr get here tomorrow. What exactly are the benefits of rooting the gear at this point? Im just curious ill pry do it anyway lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] delcopa:
Am I the only one that is having issues rooting? I can't seem to get any pc or Mac to see the watch. Yes usb debug is checked and downloaded drivers for usb several times and still nothing. I have even rest the watch and restored settings plus reset watch and started from scratch also.

When I run the program to root get no device. Even tried letting it find it nothing. First device I have had issues with.

Here is a snapshot of firmware info is it different?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] myspac:
Same version, but no problem for me after the root.. have you try the hardreset (long press button 10s + multiple press 0.5s / unpress 0.5 unitl to have the small color menu with Recovery option) ?

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

At the moment, nothing for me because there is no Wifi and no bluetooth tethering connexion with the phone ...

adb debug is suffisant for to setup not rooted apps.

I m looking for:

- tethering client/server (but I didn't have seen the shell command PAN)

- a small keyboard for quick reply...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
You need to grant the pc access to the device. An alert should appear on your device

Running ADB commands I get the following....

ADB remount

Remount Failed: Operation not permitted.

ADB push c:\nova.apk /system/app

failed to copy 'c:\nova.apk' to '/system/app/nova.apk': Read-only file system

My question... how on earth are people managing to successfully side load apps to the gear using ADB commands?

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
is what I have been using!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] megzy:
Yep sussed it just now, mounted system as writable as SU. Then pushed the APK to the /sdcard/ directory. After that did a cp /sdcard/Nova.apk /system/app/

Worked like a charm.

WIll post this in the Watch face thread also. I think people are struggling like me.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] d.ouyang:
Congratulations for root, and for the intriguing developments that have followed.

Does this open up the possibility of using this device for call and audio control while maintaining another Bluetooth connection, like say, stereo headphones (and not blasting it through the watch speaker)? Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
Even in it's stock configuration, it should be able to pair with multiple devices, maintaining several connections...

All I have is a GS3, so I'm not able to test it with the Note 3 (I like "Not3" :P ), but my GS3 has the capability to, and I figure they wouldn't remove features!

Nova launcher crash

Hi,

Nova launcher crash each time i want to add a widget (clock) !!!

My gear is normally rooted and i have installed Nova Launcher 2.3.3...

Is there is something spécial to do ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
You need to put the Nova APK in /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] memrom:
Thanks.... But how to do that ? I am installing apk's with wondershare MobileGo...

When i use MobileGo to explore files, I can't do anything in the system rep...

I am downloading the android SDK .... do you have the correct command to install my apk in the good directory ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Uvfriend:
Just install ROM toolbox and go to app manager and use option to make nova launcher system app. That's the easiest way. Or use root browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] memrom:
Many thanks, Nova works now perfectly ;) I'm happy ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jawonder:
Or you can use root browser to move it to system app.

Where are they hiding the apps in the gear I know the normal is data/apps but nothing under data. was going to search but can't type anything in no keyboard on the watch lol.

oh and my last post about not connecting to PC or mac to root, exchanged the watch tonight and now it is working. Figures I got a bum watch first shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
You need root. If you have root, you need to grant root browser (or whatever file explorer) access in supersu
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jawonder:
I'm using Google Keyboard which works fine . When you install Google Keyboard just restart the watch and it should work . You need to be rooted to use Root Browser, grant it permission then you should find the apps you installed at data/app .

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Maximumiron:
Why Root?

Custom ROMS require a person(or better team) to write it. Now because it is open source any app I install may interfere, since the developer cannot test them all, because of many factors one being time, need many people to test and report back what works and doesn't work, and in some cases what someone else did to fix the problem.

The benefits you are looking for will come, but first step is root.

One of the advantags to custom roms is incredible battery life. That is actually what I am waiting for. I have the ATT Note 2 on Skynote and can confirm that it already works with the galaxy gear even before Samsung has released the update, so can't wait to get one. And a developer to make it better!!!

Enjoy!

---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 AM ----------

I have been following a post on the Note 2 getting the 4.3 firmware leak, and the creation of a custom rom. One of the things that wanted the most for the phone is the pen features designed for the Note 3. Was not in the firmware leak, and do not expect to be in the official release.

A forum like this now has those features working on the Note 2, and the official is still not out. The galaxy gear needs an app on the phone to communicate with, Samsung seems to design these so that they use features from other touch wiz features and will not work without.

Believe someone will have to write a similar app for the HTC. So will require someone working on the phone app and someone working from the watch side. Possible just depends on how many people really want this watch with an HTC,

Also the watch is designed to work with 4.3 because of the low energy bluetooth so would not work with your current firmware. I kind of think a better watch will come out from someone else before you will get a working samsung unit with yours.

Good Luck!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] derrtydee:
i'm stuck, y'all.

My computer won't recognize my Gear. Plugged it in, let it install drivers, downloaded drivers from Samsung, from the link in the OP, and thought I was good. I ran the Impactor, and it stated "no device found." USB debug is on. I have ADB installed as well, typed in the command "adb devices," and it comes up blank. I uninstalled drivers, I reset the Gear about four different times, entered recovery and reset it from there too, and have tried on two PC's. the Gear itself functions fine, other than freezing my handset maybe once a day when I accept a call on the Gear. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that it's a Verizon variant or not, but I'm literally lost and don't know what to do. Help, please?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
Ok, I promised myself to get some sleep before midnight, but I'll help! :)

1: Uninstall EVERYTHING from the computer. drivers, Impactor, EVERYTHING you can find related to the gear and empty the recycle bin.

2: Unplug any unnecessary USB devices INCLUDING the Gear!!

3: Reboot the computer

4: Reboot the gear by pressing and holding the power button to force reboot it.

5: On the gear toggle off and back on the adb option.

6: Re-download and re-install the drivers

7: Re-download and start up impactor

8: Plug in the gear and wait 60 seconds AT LEAST. Longer if the drivers aren't set up.

9: Retry impactor.

10: If you don't have luck, let me know, I'll see what I can do!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] derrtydee:
Thank you for responding!! I'm at work so i'll try this tonight. I hope to God that it works. Two last questions: in Step 5, on the Gear, when you say "toggle off and back on the ADB option," do you mean turn the USB Debug function off and on in "Settings/Gear Info" screen? (call me stupid but I just want to be sure.) Also, in regards to the Samsung drivers, should I stick with the ones in the OP, (shows file was last modified in 2011) the Galaxy 4 drivers (downloaded those from a video tutorial on youtube showing this method, file last modified in April, '13), or the Galaxy Note 3 drivers, which were released last month?

I greatly appreciate your help!
