[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
It's pretty simple actually - and the same reason Sense doesn't run (well) on non-HTC devices. Samsung's got a huge proprietary framework on their phones that their proprietary apps expect to be in place and depend on. So plopping Gear Manager on a phone that doesn't have the expected underlying s/w causes it to fail or deliver bits and pieces of functionality. Someone could probably figure out which pieces of Samsung's framework need to be in place but if there are a ton of them adding useless bloat (outside the Gear functionality) wouldn't it be easier just to use the Gear with a Samsung phone? And the design point Samsung's chosen (dependency on proprietary Samsung code on the phone for the Gear to work) pretty much tells you that, at least for now, they are happy with restricting Gear sales to owners of Samsung devices. Hell, the SGS4 GPe doesn't even support the Gear.

Just a personal thought, at $299 (I know, it was 30% less at T-Mobile) the Gear's a questionable investment (AKA: a "play thing") as it is. Accepting that key features (of the few provided) are missing to get it to work on a non-Samsung phone seems like a great garage project but not a very good use of $299. Just my opinion of course.

I am purchasing home automation items and bluetooth adaptors for my vehicle so I don't think of this as a toy. I consider it a great step forward.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] therealduckie:
I installed the stub and the gearmanager apks and it still gave me a 'unsupported device' message. *sadface*
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Why would an underpowered device with a 315mAh battery, 512MB of RAM, and a 1.63" display be the best "tool for the job" you described? Especially when it requires a host in near-by proximity for the majority of its functions? It's great what people are doing with the Gear outside the mission Samsung released it for but, like I said before, you're talking about parlor tricks more for sport than serving a function unachievable by better means; some of which are more practical. And if you're trying to use the Gear while driving, especially if you've shrunk the DPI with a launcher, good luck. It's hard enough using the basic functions and S Voice while driving without ending up in another lane. I'm not criticizing everyone's ingenuity and cleverness just pointing out how impractical some things can appear when you take in to account what the Gear really is; a shamefully low-spec, low functionality Android "phone" with a tiny screen that happens to have a wrist band.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
That's why this is a challenge :)

Im intrigued.. I want to figure this out, I prefer to use AOSP. Iv been forced to go back to TouchWiz since owning a gear.

I might have to do some more digging around.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Depends how you do it? I moved the apk to system/app and then had to install it (so that it was in data/app as com.whatever as it looks for apk based on that name). May not need it in system app anymore

Which phone?

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Do you know how much touchwiz is in google edition roms? Does gear fully work with ge roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Sadly I was able to test extensively using GE, although I did find all the initial APK's installed & completed successfully.

I didn't get a chance to pair up completely, the base keeps randomly rebooting (nothing related to the gear). This could be due a modified gearmanagerstub.apk on the GE base, I'm not entirely sure.

I could easily upload a version of the stub APK, you can give it a go on your nexus ?

EDIT: GearManagerStub.apk : From KitKat Google Edition (i9505) & (Uninstall existing GearManager.apk before testing).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] therealduckie:
Gear, with null_, requires no host. It can also connect to bluetooth enabled devices other than a phone.

I was motivated but this: http://daisyworks.net/btgarage.html

It's brilliant and exactly what i have needed for years.

Other interesting links:

http://www.smarthome.com/android_apps.html

http://www.instructables.com/id/Home-Automation-using-Arduino-Android-Phone/

Fact is, this is not a toy when something like null_ is used. It offers a great deal more functionality in a much smaller and more portable/handy package.

Your bias against the device is obvious so it begs the question: why are you here? Just to raise your post count and stir drama in an otherwise peaceful sub-group? Or, do you own it and you are so disappointed that you refuse to see its potential?

Either way, your negativity will not sway me or change my mind. I know it has potential and I plan to use it fully. The fact that it has a wristband is a feature and a plus.

Oh, and I don't consider something that has multiple times the computing power of the original Apollo moon landings "low specs". <3
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] styz:
Maybe i wasn't clear in my post. I was responding to the phone call portion of the gear. Even without the software installed it still allows the phone calls to be taken and shows the contact information on the watch just like it did on the g4s with the app. All i was saying is that he commented that he was only able to get the phone portion working with the app and i was explaining that you can do that without the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Tried it. Same result. 2 gear manager apps still refuse to install - music and weather (I believe because they reply on specific apps?). Nfc setup connection still works. App still works, but no details get sent to watch. Perhaps tw framework hooks in and serves data to gearmanagerstub, then stub sends to manager, which sends to watch?

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Yes, from what I understand, the Bluetooth headset part is the only 'generic' part of the watch. It receives data just like a car headset when it displays contact info etc
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] therealduckie:
Just installed that STUB with both the 1.5 and 1.2 GM and both still showed me a 'device not supported" error message.

I spent about 2 hours with Samsung one night and they told me it had to do with baseband version...or that mine was a 4.1 baseband (even though I am running CM 10.2 with 4.3 OS).

Perhaps there is a lockout on older baseband versions?

This is an SG3 phone, by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
How did you install? Try deleting; move to system/app; installing from system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] therealduckie:
Sorry, I should have been more clear...

I installed them both fine. It's when i try to pair the Gear that I get that message.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Did you delete the touchwiz launcher off your gear ? That will cause a unsupported device error also.. learnt this the hard way !

If you can narrow down which two of those APK's dont install, I can try figure out why.. First step on getting this working is simply identifying what exactly is not working and why.

Once we can get gearmanager running on other branded phones, I'm confident the notifications may work.. or atleast the "more notifications".
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] therealduckie:
I'm using Nova Launcher as my launcher on my phone. TouchWiz doesn't even load on boot, that I am aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Really? I still have tw on my gear :s

I still have to install all the extra apks manually

Hi Everyone, I updated to Android 4.4 yesterday & once that was complete I was able to flash Clockwork recovery back on (Used GURU reset to bring phone back to stock & went from there).

However, none of the superuser files I've tried flashing thru the recovery will allow for root access, including "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip"

Has anybody else seen this problem with the update to 4.4 & if so, were you able to fix it?

Thanks

I remember this happening before, and I had to do something in terminal emulator to get it working again, but cannot remember what it was.

Hey all, i stuck with a problem:

I am trying to write a sd card image from my internal memory to an external sdcard with my galaxy tab 2 with terminal emulator. I am running cyanogenmod 10.2

I got all the commands ready but it wont write to the external card because it only has a read permission, but whatever i try, i cant mount it as read/write.

so my question: how can i remount my external sdcard with write permission in the terminal emulator?

thanx in advance?

p.s. location of my external sd card is /storage/sdcard1
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Andi:
try:

/extSdCard

or

/external_sd

instead of /storage/sdcard1

Hi Guys,

I want to remove some app provided with VRZ notes 3 by default.

i'm talking about amazon, backup and other.

any possible way to do it ?

Thanks in advance.

PS: i did root it already but still impossible to remove.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diocat:
I typically disable or freeze them, but I believe (not fully positive as I haven't tried it on the note 3) that you can use ROM Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup to uninstall the system apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiReX450:
[MENTION=4196132]Diocat[/MENTION], thanks will give it a try and get back for the results.

Beside I've learn that the bootloader has not been released yet by VRZ, so i guess we won't be able to get a custom rom installed until then!?

Sir what is the use of it

I.mean by removing the google support what will we get

And how is this useful

Please tell me sir
[Android Software Development] MaR-V-iN:
I tried it on the CM11 build for mako, so I highly assume it's working on all CM11 based roms.

I'm aware of this method, but I don't think it's a good idea in general, because on some overclocked kernels cpuinfo_max_freq could be really unstable.

It's not removing CMStats completely but only the Google Analytics part. Sending stats to stats.cyanogenmod.org will still work.

Moreover, you can't really say if Google Analytics is disabled. Due to it being proprietary code, it could do nearly anything and the class initializer code is called, even if CMStats is disabled. (I assume they're not doing this, but you can;t know and they always could add this in a future version)

First: This does not remove Google Support in general. You could still install GAPPS afterwards, but it would be kind of senseless.

Second: Some people think, that Google is not this "don't be evil" company they're proposing to be. And some people like the idea of privacy and not getting totally tracked by Google, so they do not install GAPPS. If this is not the case for you, then this is just not targeting you. I'm not going to try to convince anyone that privacy is a good thing ;)
[Android Software Development] sharingan:

[Android Software Development] jbonetwo:
Thank you for the info. I would not have thought to look at the Settings app for undesirable activities.

Found the following activities for Settings in Sys Tuner:

UsageStats

Settings$AnonymousStatsActivity

DeviceInfo$StatsReportReceiver

cmstats.ReportingService

Will be flashing your zip for a 'cleaner' solution than sys tuner in the near future.

And yes google is evil :). Their handling of adblock and similar apps shows they're motivated by money and I wouldn't give a corp like that free reign over my device. But that's just me...

[Android Software Development] rrrrrrredbelly:
Do you know if this will work on all cm based roms or only actual cyanogen?
[Android Software Development] MaR-V-iN:
This is only for CM-based roms that contain CMStats. The Script does nothing useful on Nexus stock or not-CM-based ROMs, these do not include Google Analytics in the Settings app (yes that's right: CM+GAPPS does more Google tracking than Google's stock)

The new v0.2 release creates a log file in /system/freecyngn so you can make sure everything worked great.

I doubt it will work on PAC.. At least make a backup before trying but I even wouldn't try it because I'm sure the settings source is too different for the script.
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:

great job! interesting!
[Android Software Development] kostos:

[Android Software Development] MaR-V-iN:
If PAC uses cmstats (i'm not sure about this), then they maybe also use the google analytics stuff. If so, the patch will most likely work. It's generic and does not require a specific settings app.

A pc script would be nice, yes. I think i'll take a look at the auto-patcher.

There were two reasons for me to do this on device: some people don't have regular pc access and i don't wanted to mess around with windows :)
