Edit: Got it working. Had an extra letter in there. I found that doing this through Droid Manager on my computer was a much better bet than trying to use a magnifying glass to see on the watch. Just have to go and change your permissions on the folders before making changes.

Great write up here! Next is using UCCW.

Contact widget or any way for quick call contact on desktop?

I am rooted, nova/gravity/UCCW... installed.

All is fine, I can run calculator, etc.

BUT still I find no way to place shortcut to specific contact on the desktop.... I want to have full list of contacts, and shortcuts to specific contacts (6 or 9 is enough) or quick dial or anything which will allow to make call just by pressing one screen button or icon

I have installed APW widgets, but when You add "people" widget - it stays empty - APW can not "read" the full contact list - I guess that contacts on gear are kept in different place than on the phone.

QUESTION - anybody figured out how to place/make the widget/shortcut/quickdial ?

I can't get this to stick. I use Root explorer, and seem to do everything correct. As soon as I save it, I go back in to check and it is back to normal.

Root Explorer is a .zip file

I can't install Root Explorer - it is a .zip, not an apk. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Elgreco333:
Use wondershare to find root explorer and install with that. You have to be connected to the watch with your pc. It will install from the store.

The problem I am having is that root explore still does not allow me access. I did everything fine but somehow the watch is not rooted..:(

Does not ask to grant full access.....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] daryldc1991:
Use total commander instead of root explorer. I worked on this for 2 hrs before I found that total commander was better.

I have Nova Launcher working fine. But everytime I try to use UCCW as soon as I select a widget size, it crashes. anyone have any idea why?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
you have to put nova launcher APK into system directory. it was posted here several times..

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
Is there a trick for wallpaper in nova? I set the picture and resize it. I got nothing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jeffmthomas:
I am using UCCW to make a widget with just a background image. In Nova settings you can enable widget overlap so you can place the "background" widget size it and then put your other widgets on top of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
lol!! Thanks! I was just getting ready to say never mind, thats what I did. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jeffmthomas:
One thing for people who are experiencing the flicker problem, I am using Button Savior pro that I pulled off of my phone and in my opinion is way better than Pie for softkeys. Once I switched to Button Savior the screen flickering stopped. I have attached some pics.

P.S. I unplugged my watch almost 10 hours ago and that is my remaining battery life. Touchwiz really is a resource hog.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cherylbaker:
feeling really stupid right now I cannot seem to follow the simpilest of instructions.. installing the rom and getting internet was a piece of cake.. unfotunatly I cannot seem to get apps installed. I have wondershare and I plug in my watch and it shows access and I search for flit and click install and it puts it in the download with a big red warning. I click on it and it says failed to analyse source link :(

help ;(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cherylbaker:
If anyone could help me I would appreciate it. I got the rom installed and tethering all good.. But I cannot for the life of me Get any apps installed.

When trying to install from the play store via wondershare it fails with the error I posted earlier. I did as suggested wipe and start again same results. Unplugged and rebooted numerous times same result.

I copied flit apk file from my phone to my Computer and used wondershare to install but when I go to my watch and run it it says failed to set keyboard set it manually but I see no where in the watch to set input device..

Sigh. . Please any suggestions are welcomed

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fbueller:
I'm not getting how to root this puppy at all. I have Wondershare installed with the Gear plugged in and connected. I run Impactor and it completes ok (I guess), then I run Wondershare and click on the Gear, then Google Play Apps in the top left. I try to install SuperSU but it wants me to install it to my other devices, there's no option for the Gear and I can't figure out how to tell Wondershare to drop SuperSU to my Gear. Any help, please?

EDIT: Ok, I managed to get rooted by backing up supersu and transferring it to the Gear. Be sure to use the newest version of ES File Explorer (3.0.6.0) because an earlier version didn't work for me.

Hey, I don't know if you still need help but try the adb "push" command. It worked for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Blitzed26:
I can't figure out for the life of me how to get root explorer backed up as an apk, any help is much appreciated. This way I can push it to the gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ITNV:
I was having a similar problem getting anything to install onto the Gear using Wondershare. (The play store / wondershare interaction leaves a lot to be desired.)

I installed the APK Downloader chrome extension using the instructions at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47089578&postcount=1 and then I was able to get the APK for root explorer and install it through Wondershare with no problems at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drmacrofish:
This is an awesome tutorial. Thanks so much for working on it. I am using Fomy's ROM which is wonderful, but am trying to use UCCW to create some better clock widgets. I have created one on my phone and saved the file as a uzip, but am lost from that point on. How does one get that file onto the watch? Do I use Root explorer on my phone and find the uzip and then send it to my PC and then from there use Wondershare to get it onto my watch somehow or is there an easier method that I am not aware of?

Thanks all.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drmacrofish:
There is probably an easier way to do this, but I downloaded an app called APK Extractor from Play store onto my Note 3. It is free. You can use this app to make an apk from any program that you have on your phone. I then used Root explorer to get the apk file it made and emailed it to my computer. Then used Wondershare on the computer to instal it directly onto the Gear. Worked well, just kinda convoluted.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
It doesn't work for protected apps.

I have the paid version of TabletTalk and it refused to make an apk for that.

The battery icon you see there is a widget I created using UCCW.

Notifications aren't working not quite sure what is wrong

I've got a rooted S4 running Eclipse and the Gear running nullgear_16, the watch pairs with the phone OK, everything in gear manager shows it's working. I can use the recent call log and dialer so I know it's working to some extent, incoming phone call notifications are working, but I don't get notifications for anything else (gmail, hangouts, sms, calendar) I have enabled more notifications. unchecked everything, rechecked everything, updated Gear Manager to 1.5.123002 this morning.

I just tried extracting all of the apks from the gear manager apk and installing them separately to make sure they are current. everything installs fine except for the music apk which is because the Rom I'm using doesn't have the stock music app.

I can't find anyone else that has this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
That means you don't have Nova installed under system/apps. That is the reason it will not work. Also you CAN add the original stock clock displays.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DrSavant:
This is where I ran into a wall - Wondershare will not extract the apk, from either of the 2 phones I'm trying it with (Note 3 and a Nexus S). The error I get is "not enough space" - I have 100Gb free, so obviously that's not the issue. I tried many different apk extractors, and most won't do anything at all (no extraction occurs). The one that worked, extracted an apk, which won't install either with Wondershare, or directly with adb - both produce errors.

The adb error is the more interesting one, as it sheds light on what's wrong (Wondershare just says "an error has occured"):

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Root_Explorer.apk

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

Any ideas how to get my Root Explorer apk? Installing it on the Gear is not the issue - I understand, that I simply cannot produce a working apk to install. I don't want to use a solution like APK Downloader, because I don't feel comfortable providing my Play Store login info, to an unknown Chrome extension.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Alternative, which I like better now is Root Browser, its free and should avoid these issues your having. I believe it has to do with it being a paid app. Can't remember what i did to make ti work. But check out "Root Browser" (Root Browser is now included in null_19)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DrSavant:
I've tried various explorers - I can copy the Nova launcher apk to the system/apps directory no problem - where I am running into a problem, is on the permission end - Root explorer has convenient mounting buttons, whereas other apps don't - I'm not sure what the correct permissions should be, for Nova to function properly (I'm failing the Watch Styler widget creation test, getting an error saying "app isn't installed").

Also, if you try to cut and paste (i.e. move) the Nova apk from /data/app using Root Browser, you get an operation failed error (the file is still moved, however it does not have the correct permissions).

If you can advise me on the correct permissions or mounting options, I would greatly appreciate that.

*** Just as an update, I solved my problem, but not in a clean fashion - I ended up getting an old Root explorer apk somewhere - since I actually paid for a new one, it's not piracy. Root explorer solved the problem in an instant - all I care about now, is getting my Watch styler theme to display properly :D ****
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mwshows:
For future reference get this from play store. Fx File will change permissions automatically to the correct ones depending on where the file is placed. No guesswork needed. I've used this app for over a year now as my ONLY file exploring app. It really is that good to me.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx

Here is the root add-on that you need to access root files. Make sure to give these apps superuser permission when it's requested. There is also a convenient lock that show up at the top when browsing in system files so you can quickly mount read-write to copy or paste files to or from system folders.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx.rr

As I said this app is AWESOME and it is my only file Explorer. I've passed on using all others for this one.

Hope this helps everyone :)

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Aksuli83:
Tried searching this but no luck.

I just got my hands on Gear (or Gear on my wrist) and Null_ seems something really interesting. But, and this is what I was looking for, is there any missing features about doing this? Example call notification and "talking" to your watch? Or anything like that? I see the Phone icon on the screen so probably that feature is still working.

What I'm curious is the step counter, does it work in Null_ and is it better? Seems like on stock it takes way too much steps and too easily :D

How about media controller, playing music on your phone and changing to next song with watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Short answer Null does not remove features or abilities. It adds to the rom to give more features. Everything still works you just get way more customization options with null. I'm running null 22.1 now and works like a dream.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Aksuli83:
That was really good to hear, started few hours ago to get Null_ into my phone, only GravityBox isn't installing yet but I'll figure it out.

Thanks for the reply "again" pushed thnx button earlier too :D

EDIT: NVM about the GravityBox, managed to somehow miss that it was replaced by PIE from play store, that isn't anymore able to install to Gear.

Hi,

Where is the option "System Settings> General> Security> Access to Notifications> Activate" ATN Manager "in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat?

Because for ATN Manager, it's Does not APPEAR in "Security> Access to notifications".

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DrSavant:
Why would you use ATN manager? Even if you are using the Gear on a non Samsung device, it is easy enough to use the Gear manager stub.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tbillings_100:
This is such great work. One question though. When you sync the watch with gear manager, anyone else having problems with apps on the gear manually installed by wondershare or play store disappearing? it gets kind of annoying finding out a root feature or app automatically getting removed everytime I update Gear Manager and resync the watch with my phone. Other than that, thank you so much for this great tutorial! I am now doing things with my gear that I never thought imagined!

Happens to me too.. Don't know if there is anything other to do than install apps in system so they won't be removed?
