In case you are interested to try. Here is my way:

Custom Boot Animation in Stock ODEX ROM is possible. I implemented this in my Galaxy Tab 7.7 Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Reguirements:

1. Root

2. Init.d Support. You can use PIMP MY ROM to have it in your ROM. Download it here.

3. Busybox Installed. Grab it here.

4. Download Bootanimation4U from here

install it via CWM (Clock Work Mode Recovery) or you can directly download from here.

Or you can download this application (JRummy boot animations) from google play store

If all requirements have been met then you are ready to have custom boot animations in your stock root android ROM.

How to use:

Unlike DEODEX ROM by which you have to add bootanimation.zip to /system/media, you need to put the bootanimation.zip to /data/local instead. Because JRummy boot animations root make it that way to create the folder.

Thanx! Should help!....:p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
anyone confim this workring??? im itching to get this going on my g2
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BitNotFound:
It does indeed work! It's how I originally rooted it! (different process, same result) I don't own that S3 my signature says I have anymore. Instead, I have an iPhone! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
Im so glad u responded. When i use odin... and search for the null_rom file... it doesnt show me the zip..... am i doing something wrong. I used the download hyperlinks u posted... and it doesnt find the rom at all. I can see the null_twrp.tar file... nothing else.... help!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
I am confused. How to install the Null rom before installing the TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
My point exactly.... and i went ahead and installed the twrp.tar. and it is just all smushed at the top.. and i cant read nor touch anything....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
I'm sorry for the confusion. The method has changed since f0mey switched the rom from .md5 file (odin) to a .zip (null_twrp recovery).

I updated the method up top but the short version is: install Null_TWRP recovery. download null_11.1.zip. open null_11.1.zip and remove SecSetupWizardW.apk (system/app folder). copy zip to your watch. flash zip from TWRP recovery.

The new method is much easier to work with so now when a new rom comes out you just open the zip, remove SecSetupWizardW.apk and flash it, much nicer.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
So i tried that and im still getting this for the recovery... any clue on why
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
So we unzip the null_11.1.zip file and delete SecSetupWizardW.apk and then zip it back up?

And then update through TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
No just open it and remove the file. No need to extract and re-zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
I a going to help my friend who will get the Gear today and he has a Nexus 5.

I am sure out of hue box the Gear will have the old firmware.

So what I need to do is update to the UK mK7 firmware first and then install the TWRP recovery and then install the null rom through recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
So.... is there no fix for the squished twrp that i posted?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
Ok. It looks like you need to flash your watch to the latest V7 firmware located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463743 otherwise recovery gets a little weird. No idea why.

Flashing the old null_10 ROM through Odin upgraded my firmware so I didn't notice any issue when I installed twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
So as i jyst flashing the tar file in odin... or... idk
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
man everything keeps changing so fast! alright I've updated the front again with instructions for flashing to the new firmware/flashing twrp/editing the null rom/moving the rom to your watch/and flashing it through TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
I successfully flashed the null_11.1.zip rom.

Now I can connect to my Nexus 5. I can receive and make calls.

Now how about the rest?

1) receive notifications

2) How to transfer photos to the Nexus 5 like how it is done with Galaxy Gear?

3) how to control Media (Music files)?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
So ive tried everything... the new method. Every port on my computer, and it still just gives me the squished twrp..... about ready to give up.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
1) tablet talk for text, Tablet Notifier for everything else. (tablet notifier was mentioned on the forums, I have not personally tested it)

2)any bluetooth file transfer app. like es file explorer.

3)Media Remote

as for the small TWRP icons ive posted everything I can think of to fix that so If your still having issues explore the null_twrp forum and ask them. really not sure why its still causing the issue if you have flashed the new firmware. ill upload null_10.1.md5 later tonight and you can try flashing that instead of the new v7 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
Awesome thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
1). I have to install tablet talk and tablet notifier on my nexus 5 right

2) es file explorer is already installed from the null rom. I have to also install it on my Nexus 5 right

3) media remote has to be installed on my gear and not my Nexus 5 right?

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
yup to all three.

media remote needs you to have both of them opened at the same time when you try to connect to your watch from the app then they run in the background.

for es file explorer there is a Network option in the left menu and in there is the Bluetooth option that should have your nexus 5/galaxy gear listed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
alright stafly17, try flashing this null_10.1.tar.md5 then flash twrp :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cyrilp:
It's working with Sony Z1 ! :)

BTW anyone know how to display status bar in novalauncher ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tommy96814:
does the firmware wipe the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
I don't think there is a working status bar in Null_rom. I haven't read about anyone using/finding it anyway.

yes flashing the firmware will wipe the watch so backup whatever you need before before doing so.

edit: I would do a system wipe from recovery after flashing just to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] amsguitarist:
I advise not using Tablet Notifier. It works great for about 30 minutes on my HTC One but then it starts eating resources and making the entire phone unusable. Just use ATN, unzip the apk and get the apk for just the watch, install it manually on the watch. Its a little bit flaky, but it works most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
What do you mean to unzip the apk and get the apk for the watch only?

Can you please explain in simple steps for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] amsguitarist:
Extract the data from ATN using ES File Explorer. In the extracted folder, navigate to the assets directory. There should be watch.apk in there. Transfer that to your watch and install. Make sure to also install on your phone. This only works if you have gear manager installed by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
Which version of Gear Manager are you using? I tried version 1.2 and I can get it to netball but not work with my Nexus 5.

How did you install Gear Manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jordy787:
So i would be able to use my nexus 4? i am debating whether or not to buy a watch
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] beagle1974:
Yes I have a nexus 4 and gear tablet talk works well also null ROM is really stable now tablet notifier is a tad unstable crashed my gear so would avoid using this love it thou
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jordy787:
Thanks man im gonna go pick one up! the only thing i wish it had was a headphone jack lol and have you used snapchat micro or instagram? if so how well do they work?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] golfinggino:
looking for some help - have rooted alot of android devices but never push a file through adb - i have followed all the steps up to the last and i cant seem to get the null_12 rom to get on the watch to flash via twrp - i have tried like 10 times now and im sure i missing something simple but i dont know what it is - i would really appreciate if someone could try and help me - thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrnovanova:
did you try wondershare?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] golfinggino:
i have never heard of wondershare just googling it now - is it an easier method ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
Ok. I got twrp flashed!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for that 10.1.... so... when i try and adb push the new null_12.zip it doesnt recognize my device...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] LAGUNADUB:
no works on LG G2
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
Works on my g2. FINALLY. LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] andynkh:
Hi, i can successfully installed Null Rom to my gear watch followed by the page 1 instruction. Also, the watch can be bluetooth pair up with my VEGA A890 phone (Korean phone). However, the gear can only accept and dial phone call but without other sync functions (eg. notification, internet tethering, sync contact, sync photos, etc). It seems the gear is only a bluetooth headset without other sync functions even the clock cannot sync with my phone.

Can any genius here give me some advices what problem i encountered and help me how to resolve the problem?

apart from installing the apps mentioned in other post, any other apps i need to install to get a full functionality .

Thanks!:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gooiee:
I have the same issue, adb doesnt recognize my device

I have tried installing kies, tried installing all samsung drivers, google usb drivers etc
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
it seems bluetooth internet tethering depends on your phone/service provider from what others have posted.

the notifications and other sync functions are part of the Gear Manager and this post is about connecting the gear without a gear manager but using apps like tablet talk give similar functionality.

you can set your clock time in the settings and sync files/photos with es file explorer (or equivalent). lots of possibilities you just need to explore the play store.

as for the adb not recognizing i'll look into it. i'll try getting my exact drivers backed up for you to.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stafly17:
I had the same issue. Luckily my wife has the note 3 so i connected it to her phone and got to the usb settings. Then booted to recovery and it recognized it... only fix i have found
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:
I'll write a proper how to when I'm off work but for now:

For all you guys who can't adb push the null zip,

Flash the null_10.1rom I uploaded in an earlier post

Flash twrp

Boot to recovery

Go to mount - check system

Go back to main twrp menu

Go to advanced - file manager - system - app and remove SecSetupWizardW.apk

Reboot system and you will be in 10.1 null. Then u can toggle usb debug and install drivers. You can move the 12 zip over as well and flash through twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
I'll include a aroma selection for you guys in the next version of my rom for the setup wizard.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bdovpro:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] andynkh:
I am now fixing the internet tethering problem.it is my fault that I did not turn on the function on my phone.

While I am using the gear, it is so great and very useful after I installed app and widget from play store

However, I can't find any Home gesture and Menu gesture in nova launcher.

Did I miss something or I need enable in nova launcher?

Thanks:confused:

For the ES Explorer, i can see the phone directory after activating bluetooth ftp in left menu. However, when i copy a file from the Gear to the phone's folder, it shows error. What happened?

For the tablet talk, I purchase the app from play store and successfully installed in my phone. However, while i installed this app in my gear, it show the app is incompatible and disallow to install in Play store. Any suggestion?

Thanks, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alucard_xs:
do you think it will work with a nexus 7 4.4 kit kat ? (2012 model)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] golfinggino:
which version of tablet talk are you guys using the version i normally use with my various phones and tablets says it is not compatible with the gear when trying to install ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] htc fan89:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 6manu6:
I installed the rom null_14 connected with the Gear One Htc Tablet Talk and installed it but I manage only calls and sms, other notifications (whattsapp, facebook etc..) How can I do? When I get the call I see only the number and not the name why?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 6manu6:
which version of ATN did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Slamone11:
On tablet talk, when a message pops up,im not able to see who its from due to everything in the way,i don't want to Reply on the phone,just want to see the message and who its from. Thank you.

Hello, how it really is? Can gear workt with any smart phone, or only phones whit bluetooth 4,0 LE and not older than 4.3 android frimware. Asking, because more i googling more deeper into the deep forest. I have galaxy s2 jelly bean 4.1 can it be supporter together?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Ye, it'll connect to all phones, you will just miss out on lots of functionality (eg. notifications, gearmanager and associated apps - essentially it it'll just be a Bluetooth headset and camera)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] damngood98:
would that be true for a nexus 5 as well? I'm just getting into some of the threads here and doing some advance scouting before buying...thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Yeah, I can connect fine with n5. But only things that function are calls and camera. I'm getting rid of my n5 and returning to s4 because s4 makes the watch a lot more useful (and watch makes phone a lot more useful)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 6jaipur6:
Finallyy manage to get my Gear work with the G2. Gear Manager fully working beside the notifications that works with Tablet Notifier.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Robotblog:
Hi guys.

As some of you know I'm given a try to the gear with iPhone.

Finally I had everything installed, the null wizard complete the installation but after reboot i came another time in the first screen asking me to pair with a galaxy phone. I tried to pair with iPhone but it's impossible. The tutorial say that after null installation have to reboot and the rom starts without pairing, but it's not this way for me...

Any suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Try connecting from your phone Bluetooth devices list
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Robotblog:
Already tryied, gear give me the pairing pin but after that it disconnects immediatly.

But what i can't understand is why the null rom ask me pairing instead of starting? The tutorial it's for doing tris for people without galaxy

EDIT: I was worried about missing something, so with Twrp I wiped everything, and the Gear says "no os installed". So pushed another time the zip null_15 via adb, pressed "install" in Twrp and re-installed the null another time. Everything fine, reboot, and the DAMN pairing request was there!!!

So I need only an S4 to start null rom?

rebooting into download mode

hi

ive followed this and a few other guides (this one being the easiest to understand) but whenever i get to the end of the null zip installation, it reboots my gear straight into download mode and just stays there. i have to load the stock recovery file just to get my watch working and then start from scratch. honestly tried 7/8 times with the same result. so near, yet so far, anyone got a solution or something im missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Sepharite:
Does anyone know if this works with notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] quorn23:
Hi [MENTION=1088474]bdovpro[/MENTION]

i monitored the thread for a while now, sadly you never updated your post regarding notifications, for me that would be the reason to buy a gear, but i use a S4 with the google rom (i9505 with jamal google edition rom) and it is unclear if it works or not, did you ever found a good solution for having working notifications?

No matter what I do, I cannot get Media Remote to work. I am trying to connect a Nexus 5 and Galaxy Gear (running latest null_). Let me know!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] j_mullet:
I have been desperately searching for a solution to my problem. My gear only shows up as a Bluetooth headset when paired to my n5. Which means my Bluetooth headset, which I need to use, is bypassed and audio goes to the watch. As soon as I try and remove audio from the watch, it disconnects. I don't know if I can somehow edit Bluetooth profiles so that the watch shows up correctly???

I really want this to work, but thus far it's a bust. Would be nice to get a Sony smartwatch 2 port or something of the sort on the gear to get full functionality out of it on any device.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Make sure you setup via gear manager
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alucard_xs:
hi dudes, can really any phone connect to the galaxy gear ?

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] carajean:
Hey anyone know a way around the below issue:

Tried to sync my LG G2 with the gear and it says my " The backup data for your gear has been deleted to connect it the gear will reset to factory setting.

Now from experience this will make me have to reactivate and root/flash/rom all over again. Is there a way to get gear manager working without doing that?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dstarr:
Can you please explain how you got it installed? When I install the Gear Manager APK it says the software is not for my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] carajean:
Can anyone confirm or deny if when they have both the galaxy gear and a bluetooth headset connect can they switch to bluetooth answer on the galaxy gear?

I dont have the left option on the galaxy gear to send to bluetooth headset.

After further playing around with this now I unable to get the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] j_mullet:
I confirm that I cannot use a headset with the gear. This is the one issue that I may sell the gear for. I've been looking everywhere and nothing. I know my zwatch showed up as a watch, not a headset in my BT device list. I am hoping that someone can tell me if I can edit the gg profile somehow.

I have a problem with adb finding my device

First, I flashed "V700XXUAMK7" rom to my samsung gear with Odin 3.09, then flashed TWRP with Odin. I removed the SecSetupWizardW.apk from the zip file and place the zip file into the folder containing the ADB and Fastboot files. I also have the SamSung usb drivers installed on my computer. I placed my galaxy gear into recovery mode and connected to computer with usb cable then ran the adb command "adb devices". It did not show my device in recovery. What am I doing wrong?

I have also tried in the past to flash the null_23.zip through the nullproject.net guide procedure and always after install from TWRP recovery my galaxy gear would just go into boot loop. I would again flash the device with V700XXUAMK7 with Odin and start over.

I now see SamSung has a new rom for the galaxy gear. My galaxy gear just updated itself to it.

SM-V700	BTU V700XXUBNC1 OS Version 4.2.2 Build Date 17.03.2014 Changelist 2373480

Thanks for helping.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sny11:
No matter which stock rom I start with, I follow the tutorial to the t. Every time when finish installing the null_27.zip with TWRP, hit reboot it just throws my galaxy gear into bootloop.

Any body got any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sny11:
I have had the exact same results as you when I try to flash my gear. You ever manage to figure it out? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
null_27 is wrong file! (it is very old prerelease)

You need null_23
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] udotbdot5:
Yeah, weirdly I had the null file for a gs3. I hadn't got mine from the link on the site. Check that or if not just download a different version. It's just a problem with the file not be in compatible with your device...

I think!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sny11:
I have tried null_23.zip. Had the same results as I did with null_27. I finally managed to get null onto my galaxy gear by finding null_10.1.tar.md5 and flashing it with Odin. Works fine but would like to experiment with later versions of null.

Hi!

I'm a bit confused: I can't seem to getadb working. It does not list my device when I try 'adb devices'.

I did everything from the start to:

but there is nothing listed :(

Any help would be really appreciated !!!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sny11:
I found adb will recognize the samsung gear and you can export the .zip files to the sdcard in user mode. I found if you boot the galaxy gear to Download or Recovery adb cannot recognize it.

Also you might google "null_10.1.tar.md5". You can push it to your gear with Odin. Worked fine for me. Run Impactor.exe before flashing null_10.1.tar.md5

Hope this helps you
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Ofcourse. 10.1 is last version you can flash with odin. All versions after that need to flash with twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sny11:
If you don't mind me asking 2 questions. Why develop null in .zip instead of .md5? And what advantage is their in null_23 over null_10.1?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] FixB:
Thanks: I was able to flash the old version. And then, adb was working!
