I agree. I have installed fleksy and it works like a charm.

There are a couple of ways to gets apps on your gear. Search xda for side loading using adb. Also you can use wondershare. And there are other ways if you are rooted.

There are several threads covering these topics.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

Ok let's get back on track for this thread.

I have been experimenting with a bunch of apps lately and I'd like to share my results. I've tried several apps of each category and these are the best I've found for each.

Calculator: calculator magma

System monitor: android toolbox

Uninstall apps: easy unistaller

File manager: file explorer

Keyboard: fleksy

Control and view camera phone from gear: remote camera

Silent camera on gear: spy image

The following are games that you can do bluetooth multiplayer. So you can be on your gear and a friend can use your phone for multiplayer fun!

Strikefour

Rps lizard spock

Connect five

Checkers

I'm sorry I don't have links. I will try and add them later.

Enjoy!

shuttle + (music player) works really well with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nswenson:
Pie control - gives all nav buttons in floating format, back button, menu, home, etc.

Fleksy keyboard

Tablet Talk

Gmail

Titanium backup - Let's you backup and restore apps. Can freeze apps to temporarily remove them. Can also export apps directly from phone to Gear over Bluetooth.

Bluetooth Tethering Toggle - Single click widget to turn on/off client side tethering on gear

Tinder - Can discreetly swipe through women when you're bored. Install using titanium backup.

Meetup App

Fat finger calculator

Google now with offline voice files

Es File Explorer

For the truly geeky ones of you out there who love Star Trek.... I use "Red Alert" by "Old Planets" on my ROOTED Gear and NoneRooted Note 3.

Good as a screen saver and makes sounds when notifications, alerts or your battery gets low.

Quite customizable as well depending on when you want it to go off.

Paid and Free versions are here....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oldplanets.redalertwallpaper

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oldplanets.redalertwallpaperplus

Be warned though.... It might drain your battery a lot. Please let me know if this is the case, as I've been having issues myself and i'm not sure if it's just my Gear or generally this app in question.

Hey guys,

Tried to download fleksy and pie control on my Gear tonight and both apps said they were incompatible with my device.

I'm on null 22.1.

Is this right?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
you have to sideload them.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] banistersmind:
When you say sideload them, do you mean, put the apk files for each program onto the device via Wonder share and then deploy them from within the Gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
yes

More features than Fat Finger Calculator and is open source. Even the graphing works although a bit hard to use on a small screen. Maybe some dev with a little free time can patch it so that the entire screen is used in graphing mode. The widget also has a small cosmetic problem with the "delete" text wrapping down a line. That could be fixed by shortening it to "del".

Another good (if only for fun) app is Audalyzer.

Pretty nifty barcode scanner app. You have to use App Settings to force normal orientation so it doesn't end up sideways.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dan04103:
I finally got around to putting GMD Gesture Control & Gravity Screen (which I use on my N3) on my gear and have to say its pretty brilliant. GMD Gesture Control allows you to record whatever swype/tap animation you wish and link it to any action. Then the gravity screen allows you to have the screen turn on at specific angles/views. Haven't experimented enough to know what battery savings might be lost/saved here but should know in a couple more days. This setup allows me to swype to all apps/menus and have only the clock widget screen active to avoid accidental app startup. Swype to the right (flashlight), swype to the left (calculator), swype up (notifications), One finger tap twice (Svoice), Pinch in (app drawer), Swype the letter C (camera), Swype the letter V (voice memo), swype a ^ (pedometer). :good:

Hey jeep, how did you manage to install youtube (and have it running) ? It's not in the play store. I downloaded the apk 5.5.27 from apk3fun.com. It installs OK but asks for "Google Play Services" to be updated. Clicking yes opens me the playstore which tells me that this version of the services are not compatible with my device (I'm running null Build 23). I then downloaded the apk for google play services 4.1. Installs OK, can get into menus, etc... But Youtube still complains about the services version. I then tried similarly version 4.2 and 4.3 with no more success. Any hint ?

Thanks and regards

Edit: OK, I downgraded to youtube version 4.0.8E and it worked fine...

For the guitar player:

SmartChord :

These features work perfectly: chords, scales, metronome, tuner, ear trainer, transpose, tone generator, pitch pipe, timer

Features that don't work unless Null ROM and bluetooth tethering: Flashlight, vote

The metronome, tone generator and pitch pipe work really well if you have the Gear on your left wrist. When holding the guitar the speaker on the clasp will be pointing towards you.

For the tuner, you'll probably need to remove the Gear and set it on a table. Or you can flip the Gear over on your wrist so the screen is where your palm is.

The buttons are a reasonable size. The mic and speaker work well. The app is responsive.

Put your finger over the camera and push. Not too hard but hard enough. Put a very bright light source behind your finger. Watch it record your heart rate. It's actually pretty accurate if you get a REALLY bright light source VERY close to your finger. I use an LED flashlight.

Alarm Clock by Macropinch

Buttons are a decent size and useable. The clock face is kindof primitive compare to what we have on our Gear but it's the alrams where thise things really shines.

Set the day of the week, one time or repetitive, Vibrate only, select the sound to play, volume fade in, alarm by time range, snooze time, create multiple alarms.

Everything works fine except naming the alarm for people with Stock ROMs. Those will Null ROM can obviously name their alarms as well.

I would think that with Null rom it would be easier, but you will probably need to do some trickery for the gps to send position to the watch. Probably using tasker and the tasgear apk.

Perhaps your install was bad, try reinstalling it, or maybe you didn't clear the cache, system, data?

- Boot into Recovery again

- Wipe data/cache and go to "Advanced" and wipe Dalvik (yes, this will delete everthing, but you don't exactly have a choice)

Reboot. If it's still hanging

- Boot into Recovery again

- Re-flash ROM

And BTW, didn't you make a backup of your original ROM? If not, well.. you won't go any places fast. Another tip is to go to the thread where you downloaded the ROM and ask for help there. People there have flashed the ROM, and some may have had the same issue as you have now.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie Dub:
I came from a VZW GNex as well and now have the T-Mo G2. I rooted mainly so I can use some apps I have that require root. I'm not rooted right now because I ended up bricking my phone while fiddling with the dpi, had to unbrick it, and in doing so, updated my ROM to d80110g instead of d80110c that came with the phone. I don't believe it's OTA yet, but might be soon. ioroot doesn't support 10g yet and I don't want to go through the long unbricking process again. Aside from wanting to use some apps, haven't really felt the need to root. Phone is plenty fast and if you want to experience 4.4, install the Google Experience Launcher. You'll get the swipe right for Google Now and hotword detection on the homescreens. It does cause mediaserver to stay awake, so you might experience shorter battery life. It may not be as fast as an actual 4.4 ROM, but I really don't know how much faster this phone needs to get.
