Nswenson:

That is one of the best step by step write-ups I have seen. I am going to give this a try exactly the way you laid it out. I had bee wondering how people were getting playstore apps onto their gear. I did not know it was so easy. I was getting ready to give in and purchase the wondershare for $20 for one year and I had a tear in my eye. I will give this a try first
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
That only works if you use a custom rom. If you are on the stock rom it wont do it as you cant send to bluetooth.

I am on standard but just rooted so I can send files to system/app but they still get removed when I open Gear Manager.

I did have all sideloaded app show up in GM when I upgraded from 1.6 to 1.7/2.0. They all showed up. But I just did it again today and none are showing up this time. I'm guessing as the first version of 2.0 was buggy it was one of those bugs that let me do it and they patched it to stop it now.

Thats the main thing I really hate with the gear, as soon as GM is loaded it hides all sideloaded apps. If anyone finds a way to stop those apps from being hidden I would really like to hear how.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Use older version of gm. Or use different launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I would but this new version has a few bug fixes which is nice and I've tried older versions and they also hide sideloaded apps.

Unless I didn't use the right version? Which version will show sideloaded apps in GM?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dr Nicky:
Gear Manager 1.5.123002
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rsternadel:
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but could you specify whether the directories you mention for the apks are on the Galaxy S4 (in my case) or the Galaxy Gear? Is there a way to register the side-loaded apks in the gear manager so that they don't get deleted? Please let me know. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] adoublearonn:
On the Gear... not the phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rsternadel:
Thanks very much! I have one more question for you, if I may. I would like to install the cleartune chromatic tuner on the gear, for which I have paid in the play store and have installed on the phone, but can't get the extracted apk to work on the gear (no permission). Is there a program either for android or windows that will unlock the paid for apps? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sdemills:
Any chance of an example of this? I'm trying to learn how to build some Apps for Gear - I've built a couple of simple test Apps and installed them through ADB - but would dearly like to understand how to get Gear Manager to recognise and install them for me as Gear Apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3onard:
Maybe a noob question but i'm helpless.

I bought a brand new S4 with contract here in Germany, branding- and simlockfree, european model.

The problem is that I'm unable to update for 4.3. The current version on my phone is 4.2.2 I9505XXUDMH5 DBT (open Germany), CSC I9505OXADMH5. I receive no OTA notifications. Kies says that I have the latest firmware. In conformity to sammobile I should receive 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ5.

It's my second s4, the first one was replace due to a minor functionality problem. With the first one I did receive the update, but not with this one.

What am I doing wrong? Any help apreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surf_dan:
I don't think you are doing something wrong.

as you are german:

http://ukonio.de/samsung-galaxy-s3-...rollout-update-firmware-mobile-digital-42632/

rollout is stopped for s3 & s4

so either you root your device and flash 4.3 or you keep 4.2.2 which is not bad in my opinion.

and for the future it is always a good idea to google your device together with "update" or something and display only news or new pages.

cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3onard:
Thanks. Interessting is that one day before i could update my first phone, unfortunately i had to give it back. With the second one i had no luck. I have no explanation.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surf_dan:
I suggest that you just keep on trying to OTA update on a regular basis. Samsung spreads OTA updates for a queue so sometimes you have to wait some time.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carl Blance:
Just stay on 4.2.2, I had no issue with it, 4,3 is annoying as I'm hounded everyday or security issues plus I didn't notice any improvements either, Wait for 4.4

Bought my cover yesterday. Figured there would be some nice mods for it by the time I bought one.

Are there many 'S View Cover' users in here?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aikon359:
ive been using my s-view cover for about 2 weeks or so now and in one breath its brilliant! but in the other breath its a pain in the arse lol.

i tend to use a moga pro quite a bit and an in car phone grip for satnav so when using the sview cover it makes using these to a total pain in the butt. (the edges of the s-view cover get all bent and its just dosent feel good at all).

saying that, when im not using the accessories, its a beaut. (got the black non wireless charging one). feels beautiful, really well built, and love the s-view screen.

just aching to see someone come up with a way to add custom backgrounds to the note 3 s-view screen now as really do not care for the single coloured tiled backgrounds that are default.

this phone better be a keeper for a good while lol, never picked up so many official accessories in my life!,:

samsung S view cover

samsung MHL 2.0 hdmi adapter

samsung 3200mh battery

samsung hs3000 bluetooth headset dongle

samsung note 10.1 external stylus

samsung uhs1 sdxc 64gb micro sd card (70mb read)

usb 2.0 host cable

external bluetooth speaker (mdx jam classic)

moga pro gaming controler

and a shed load of other 3rd party cases already 0_0.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
Woah. Samsung must love you.

I'm loving the cover too, but my whole thing is that there is more functionality on the lockscreen without the S View Cover on. If there was a mod for S View sized widgets, I'd be happy. Specifically, a Watch-On widget, and torch shortcut. And yeah, some theming/customization options would be awesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchitchicruise:
hello !

for change background :

Extract the framework-res.apk of your custom rom, open with winrar v5, change or replace with your mainbg_pattern_mainarea.png on directory : res/drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi .

On note 3, copy on your sdcard, and with root explorer replace this on system/Framework (reboot is automatic when you change the .apk) enjoy!

Background here

Hi,

It works there on stock Rom (MJ7) ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
Thanks for this! Having a bit of a problem though. Can't seem to replace that mainbg_pattern_mainarea.png file inside the framework-res.apk. It asks if I want to replace, and I say yes, but after copying, it is still the same image. My replacement image is the same dimensions as the original, just a flat colour.

Any suggestions? Also, don't know if it matters, but I'm on a rooted stock rom, via Root De La Vega. So not a custom rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchitchicruise:
Hi

Use perhaps 7zip or winrar 5.. :)

After for root de la vega i don't know :(

Me, i extract the framework-res of custom rom that i install and replace with root explorer..

:)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] methosivanhoe:
thankfully those all seem to include alpha codes as well, so changing a background colour to fully transparent should allow us to use full colour images on the screen instead of tinted via colour...

I shall investigate further :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchitchicruise:
yes, I tried to replace the hex code "holo_purple" by # 00000000 for exemple,

recompiled and replaced my framework, but it does not change anything ... I do not understand!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] methosivanhoe:
hmm, that's an odd one... the colour overlays must be linked somewhere else then...

Does anyone know the best colour to use on the background to get it to show up really well? I have tried both black and white but I only get a really feint view of the image.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchitchicruise:
probably the orange!

but this is true it is not clear...

this is why it should be found or where are these color masks,and how to change, in order to make transparent, and put a real photo ... with color!

hello dev! hello dev! please! lol

Where are these xml?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] methosivanhoe:
lol, i've just asked the Xposed people to see if they can figure out a way to customise this... an Xposed module would make this so much easier than manually editing the apk's every time i want to change the wallpaper lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
Errr what?

The S-View cover does not work by reading the values given by the proximity sensor. The Note 3 and the S4 both have hall sensors. When a magnet is near this sensor it sends a signal to the phone through the pins you see on the back. This in turn opens up the S-View window.

So simply covering the proximity sensor with your hand will not trigger this feature.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin Roscom:
So is s view party of the framework or is it it's own apk? That'd be pretty cool if you could just replace it with a custom app, like some sort of "better" s view with widget support

Curious question for you S-View users: why do you prefer to use the S-View flip case over a more protective (and arguably more practical) TPU case with an Active Display app/ROM? Perhaps you can convince me into getting one of these instead. I do admit that it looks more like a notebook, and hence, more professional and fitting to a business environment.
