Funny. I am getting a completely different result. Both the Null Rom and Tizen seem to last about the same for me. I guess it depends on how you used the Null Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] blackknightavalon:
I got the opposite result. Battery life on Tizen is better than on Android. I'd be down to 30% power after eight hours on Android (with the watch just receiving notifications) as opposed to 90% after eight hours on Tizen (same deal).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] crutzulee:
Fomey's work on Null allowed me to enjoy my purchase from day 1 on an unsupported phone (Note 1). I had it up and running within an hour of cracking it out of the box. With the help of people on this forum, and through trial and error I got my setup working well enough for my uses.

I don't like to make compromises with my gadgets. I don't care about benchmarks or the version number of my OS. I just want them to perform the tasks I need to get me through my day. For me running the gear without bluetooth makes it "just a watch"...running it without wrist getsures to conserve battery life makes it "less than just a watch". With the google now launcher on my gear and gestures enabled, I had true hands free phone calling. With Tablet Talk I had close to hands free texting and notifications. I finally upgraded my phone to the Note 2 hoping that I would realize a battery life increase with the upspec to BT 4.0.

Unfortunatley that increase was negligable...It wasn't until I switched to Tizen that I could finally get my watch to give me greater than 15 hours of uncompromised use...While i am grateful for Fomey's work on NULL, each of us has to make a decision on how we use our watches.

[MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION], I hope you reconsider applying your talents to Tizen..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] perlmane:
I was getting over 18 hours of Null. Not sure why others were not.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Samuel Sung:
I am satisfied by the battery life of tizen... Only 10% drain over night just kills... Before it was nearly 40%...i had to have the fear on 100% when leaving the house or it is a hassle to last through the whole day with the gear... Now I can leave the house with 50%

This makes tizen great for me. I only need calculator. Evernote, weather the rest are just cool features which eats 500% battery per second...it's not worth for me...

I was really satisfied about a fomey tizen rom.. So you [MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION] seriously won't get a hang on tizen? That's too bad.

Let me know if this changes. Thank you for your awesome work. I really enjoyed your rom...

But now it's possible to downgrade with touch working.. Maybe we restart our awesome relationship over again ... Your rom my gear and me... We were a good couple but the battery was *****ing around cause she didn't like my usage...

Just wanna say thanks...

Cheers

Tizen

PRO = 1 (battery)

Null

PRO = 5000000000 APPS, tasker,autovoice and all.

with null you can listen notify with voice, google now without tethering with tasker (i can speak with gear mic to my note 3)..

only only Pro.

Tizen sheet… I love Android! :)

I do not view Tizen as an upgrade. It took away my favorite apps even from the Samsung store. Going back to Android is an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Samuel Sung:
Hahahaha you are so right it's a shame.... xD

But the batterylife satisfies me so much it feels like it is... Only 8% drain in the last 7 hours... Insane... OK I only route Facebook and email and SMS and today was a quiet day so it was used as watch the last 6 and a half hours... Rest was Facebook quickview 10 minutes and about 10 messenges...

I know I will miss that on Android... And I didn't had the time to learn Tasker properly. So I still don't use it... So I miss nothing but still to browse my phones music with my gear... Nobody seems to need that... Only me... Cause nobody share how to do this and my threads and questions are unanswered...

Which apps do you use.. Would be really interesting for me... :)

Ok heres where im at, ive rooted the gear and installed all the appropiate apps/Superuser/rom tool box/root checker/ etc but odin im sure did intall twrp recovery but when i try to use rom toolbox theres nonthing showing saying boot to twrp recovery ? and also if i try re-boot to recovery manually the gear resets its self !! realy frustrated now , please can anybody help me to download the correct twrp recovery as that seems to be my main problem now as its already to flash null rom, just needing TWRP RECOVERY Please from somebody. also when using Odin to install the twrp it still says invald file/binary grrrrrrrrrrr, help please
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Leoisright:
Yeah. This isn't the roms problem. Android has always been problematic with battery life.

On tizen after 18 hours I was still at 45%+ with normal use.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Leoisright:
I don't think so. The gear 2 is tizen and this is android.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koko115:
On wikipedia i read that tizen system run android apps.. so..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Leoisright:
His rom is an android rom. Gear 2 is a tizen rom. Tizen may run android apps but the base is still tizen.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I've always easily got 2 days usage out of null (closer to 3 days with motion off). YMMV depending on what you install. However I have tasker, motion on, brightness default and still manage decent battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] c_86:
Seconded. I am curious as well. Lots of talk of tizen. So is there a rom out there or am i on crack. (nevermind found it)

but what are people using for the app on the phone that talks to the watch, is it still just gear manager

who has a non samsung phone running tizen on their watch? im curious about how the notifications are running?

thats pretty much all i use mine for is notifications, and alarms...

help needed transfering null rom onto gear

hi all, ok heres where i am, ive rooted, extracted files onto gear using android toolbox , install recovery via odin , but now my Wondershare has expired is there any other way or programme to get the null rom transfered to my gear ? Must be another free trial programme out there but i cant find one, any help appreciated or i may just have to buy wondershare.

Or can i use Odin to install null rom to the gear ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kindya:
I think if you take wonder share off your computer you can just load like you would do your phone worked for me
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tooandrew:
I never used wondershare. If it doesn't show up, just enable usb debugging, install adb and drivers for Samsung devices, and push the zip to /sdcard

If that causes issues go to twrp, choose advanced and choose adb sideload, start sideload, type adb devices and ensure it's in sideload mode, then navigate to the folder where you have the zip saved, and use the command adb sideload "zip name here"

If you don't want to type the whole name just type the first few letters and hit tab

thankyou

hiya and thanks for ya help, ok the main problem im having is when trying to install the md5 file twrp from sourceforge via Odin i always get an error saying md5 binary invalid ..so is there any other way of loading the twrp recovery to my gear ? Im no good with adb commands so hope fully there is a zip twrp recovery i can install via Odin if anybody can help me please..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tooandrew:
Just download it again from the link in the null_twrp thread and try. Your file might have gotten corrupted. Make sure you got the tar.md5 . Put it in either pda or ap slot, whichever you have. Odin is for .tar.md5 files, a zip probably won't work. There is a support thread, though, as the first post says, this is a development thread, hence not the place for these types of queries. Direct all further questions to the support thread, please.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrj0087:
This is a noob question but...I can get notifications pushed to the device right?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tooandrew:
The easiest way to do this is with a combination of tasker on the phone and tasgear on the watch. However, again, this is a development thread. There is a support thread for questions.

So samsung just announced the Gear Live, which is basically the galaxy gear without a camera and a slightly faster processor, but apart from that has almost the same specs. It is available now, maybe when someone buys it and dumps the firmware, could it be ported?

I just tried making a port myself but the knowledge that I have is not nearly extensive enough to do this hopefully he can do this soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jimmygzzmtz:
How? To try to make a port we would need the dump from the Gear Live, since the only dump from Android Wear so far was a prototype of the G Watch, which has different hardware than the Gear...

I stand corrected, there IS a dump available, fascinating...

Contacts and Call ID issue: if you add a contact manually (not imported from the phone paired) using the stock android contacts or the app "person" that comes in null, when a call arrive the Gear show to you che caller ID number but not the name that you saved in contacts. Is there a way to put together imported and saved contacts just to make Gear show you the Name all the time?

P.S. For me is very important because I'm using iPhone and I can't import contacts as you do with android phones. So the only way is saving contacts directly in Gear.

Alright guys, exciting times !

New galaxy gear live has been released.. I'm going to be moving over to the new gear and getting back to work on null !

If you would like to contribute, I'm trying to raise some funds for the new watch to speed up its arrival.. otherwise its when ever I have some spare coin.

They are going for about $300 here in Australia. If you could contribute it would be greatly appreciated.

Unread Notifications Using Apex/Nova Launcher (Bug??)

Hi,

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, im not sure if this is a bug or not??

I am using null23,

I have tried both Apex Pro and Nova Prime (paid for) versions with their extra notify programs & even Missed It,

I am unable to receive any unread notification badges on the icons in them launchers.

It DOES work with the TouchWiz stock rom.

Because I am using the watch on silent, it would just be handy to see the notification icon with/without an unread count to know if I have anything to look further.

Is there a way to make the Icons full screen or 4/4 like the Touchwiz rom?

Thanks for a brill rom, contribution on its way shortly!

Android wear

This will be super cool to give us a porting ANDROID WEAR before moving to another frame.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] perlmane:
Android Wear is not too bad. I have been using the Gear Live all day today. It needs some work, but it is already much better model than the stock Samsung proprietary offering. One thing this device needs, however, is for its vibration to be more intense. It is next to impossible to feel.

24h format ?

I have quite the same problem that has already been reported in null_ 14 post ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47823319&highlight=24h#post47823319 ) : whenever I reconnect the watch to my phone, it keeps setting back the format in 12h AM/PM and I have to go through the menus to put it back in 24h...

Has anybody a clue about what could cause that or a trick to get past it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
I have the same problem on Null_23 but it's even stranger....

I have 2 phones, 1x S3 (business phone) and 1x S4 (private phone).

When I connect to my S4, the time is reverted to 12H format.

When I connect to my S3, the time is again set to 24H format

Both phones are running same Gear Manager version (latest) and time settings are the same

Only difference, as I can see, is that the S3 is running Android 4.3 (stock Samsung ROM, not rooted and not altered in any way) and the S4 is running Android 4.4.2 (custom ROM based on Samsung TW ROM, obviously rooted and a lot of tweaks).

I would also be very interested in a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Try manually setting the time format in settings on your gear's.

Easier said than done, Samsung is all about propriety good's and software.. you cant simply update the gear to 4.4...

Take this example, lets say you do get a working rom built from source... lets say Cyanogenmod.. even then, the job is only half way done because you still have zero connectivity to the host device. Getting a stable rom built for from scratch for the gear is a very very difficult job.. not impossible but very difficult.

Remove the setup wizard while flashing the rom in aroma, under samsung applications, select custom & then de-select "setup wizard" on the next screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BalooZ:
I do this every single time I reconnect my Galaxy Gear (under Null_23's settings, because there's no way to set 12h/24h format under basic settings)

If it can help, I have a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) running CM11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-jflte (Android 4.4.4) and I use Gear Manager 2.1.14062401.

Thanks a lot for your answer BTW ! :D
