[Samsung Galaxy Gear] droidshadow:
step by step...

So i was able to get this working on Null_21...

For those of you who might be wondering what this hack does, it allows you do things like Google Voice typing or Google Voice Search without having to be connected to the internet via bluetooth tethering or foxfi from your phone. Or in other words you don't have to be sharing the internet connection from your phone to your galaxy gear watch in order to use Google's voice typing.

Steps to get this working:

1. In your phone go to this directory, you will need a file manager i would recommend root explorer. Go to this directory -> /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models/

2. Make a compressed file of that directory. i would recommend using .tar.gz format which root explorer offers in order to keep the file permissions of all the files in the directory /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models/ the same.

3. Now that you have a file which should be named something similar to enUS.tar.gz you need to send it over to your watch. If you are on at least Null_21 a very easy way to do this is through bluetooth file transfer. If you are on an earlier version of the Null ROM you can do this by sending the file to your watch's /sdcard directory using the great app -> "wondershare" or you can do it with adb push -> adb push C:\enUS.tar.gz /sdcard/enUS.tar.gz if you are on Windows or adb push /home/user/enUS.tar.gz /sdcard/enUS.tar.gz if you are using Linux.

You can send the compressed tar file to your watch via bluetooth file transfer by opening root explorer on your phone select the tar file and long press it. In root explorer you will see an option that sends send. Select send -> bluetooth -> select your galaxy gear which should be already connected via bluetooth and then you should get a notification on your gear watch that your phone wants to send a file, hit accept on your watch.

4. Now that you have that file on your watch you need to move it the same directory that you found it on your phone. Move the compressed enUS.tar.gz file to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models/ on your galaxy gear.

When you move the compressed tar file to your watch in the directory /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models/ you will notice that you already have an enUS folder there (if you are in the United States).

rename that folder to enUS1 or something like enUS-backup

5. Next you need to decompress your enUS.tar.gz file which you can do in root explorer by long pressing the file and hitting decompress. After you decompress the file you will see a new folder created named --> enUS.tar

click on the fold en.US.tar and when you go into that directory you will see a new folder named --> "enUS".

6. Next you need to move that file over to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models/. You can move the folder over by long pressing the folder and selecting move. Hit the back button till you reach the directory --> /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models/ and hit the move button to confirm the moving of the directory to the new location.

7. After that you are all done, just

restart

your watch.

You can test it by hitting the voice icon in your google search bar and it will highlight and allow you talk a command in, but that still won't work without an internet connection. For me the convenience is when i am in Tablet Talk, if i get tired of typing a text message i can use the google voice typing option and i don't have to be connected to the internet to use it!

Try it out...it is a very cool little hack i really liked it.

Well i hope this has been helpful...i tried to be as

detailed

as possible.
