There is a little work porting all the mods over to a new base, reality is tho there is no changes.. its the same base which has been simply re-posted. Hence the new date code in the title.

What issues are you experiencing on NA6 ?

Not true ! I'm still very much involved in the Galaxy gear scene and will keep you guys updated if I ever decide to move to another smartwatch.

The gear scene has slowed down that's all.. I have pushed the rom as far as I possibly could.

If you guys have suggestions tho I would love to hear them ! I always keep an eye on my thread's and happy to hear them.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] allendj81:
My suggestion is to bring us/port us android wear when the source is posted. You are the only dev that ever care to do something different with the GG. Plus, G2 and tizen can go drink a bowl of piss :angel::D

Android Wear PORT for SmartQ Z Watch! (& clones)

Another suggestion could be to increase call volumen. Ive noticed that volumen for everything else works great, but call volume is always weak, the person has to speak loud to hear them :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BigBison420:
I am very happy with my gear now thanks to NULL. Not much more you could ask for really :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jimmygzzmtz:
I agree. What null did to the Gear was amazing, but I agree that there isn't much else to be done. Samsung was saying that they would upgrade the Gear to Tizen (IF they do it, they probably will cancel it).

The next logical step is to try to port Android Wear when it comes out with Lg G Watch, but that is in a few months, so maybe your attention will be elsewhere...

Still, thanks for everything you have done for this device!

This is something I have obviously considered, although when android wear comes out.. I most likely would be moving to that smartwatch anyway :p

I don't really have this issue personally.. Have you actually turned your incall volume the whole way up ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] allendj81:
It would be cool of you to port it to us, you would still have the GG anyway right? hehehehe. And about the in call volumen, I have it all the way up (on 6 I believe is max). On a quite place, like my room, there is no problem understanding what the callers are saying, but lets say while on a car on the highway is very hard to listen due to road noise. I have to keep the watch at ear level to catch whats being said.

Hi fOmey

First of all, thanks a lot for your work.

Looks you're one among the very few that made possible to have Custom roms on that device, I don't know why it is that way.

Maybe people think smartwatch are useless, or too expensive.

I thought every gadget lovers would rush on it and try to write a lot of hacks...

Some features I had thought of, maybe it was already asked, I didn't saw it :

- completely remove the video recording time limit.

moving from 15s to 1min was great, but limitless would be better.

Just for my knowledge, why is this time limit here about ? Battery concerns ? Storage concerns ?

And why did you only moved it to 1min and not 30s or 2min or 10min ?

I'd like to use my watch as a GoPro like device, attached to my MTB handlebar.

Gear have a decent camera that allow 720p recording.

I know it would be far behind a GoPro capabilities, but I'll be ok with it.

Some camera apps on the Play Store can do that (like "Camera ICS" if I do remember well), but built-in is better.

As we are talking about camera, there is too an (non-free) app that allow to video record AND force the screen to stay off. That'll save some battery time, I don't need preview while riding DownHill :)

Not tried yet, so I don't know how long exactly I could record a video with the available storage space (that is around 2.4GB on my Gear).

But I doubt it would be very long time... 25/30 mins maybe ?

So, second feature I thought of...

- Bluetooth network file access.

Don't know if it already exist for something else.

You pair your Gear with your phone (mine is Nexus 5), with an mnt hack or something, the video you are recording is just cached to the Gear's memory, but get remotely written in smartphone's storage, instead of Gear's storage.

Maybe it just can't be.

So, subsidiary and last feature, USB Host (OTG?).

I hack a micro usb cable/usb hub to work with the Gear usb charger, or I directly mess a cable with the pinpoint behind the Gear, and I plug a 8/16 or more GB usb stick.

I think OTG/Usb host need a kernel hack, then using the usb as storage disk needs an mnt command line ? (or maybe it is directly handled by the OTG add in the kernel).

Then I can record long videos on the usb disk, or to my smartphone via bluetooth.

What do you think about this fOmey ?

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your reply.

if it was a battery concern ,you could allways use the cradle and a powerbank ,if its on your handelbars the you will be fine with an extra 100 gram battery power bank thing

Nova launcher

So I put nova launcher into search box and read all the posts with Nova launcher in it and didn't find the answer I'm looking for. I would like to add Nova launcher prime apk to the watch instead of the free version of Nova launcher. I tried to add it in mobile share but it failed because it's already installed. The only other thing Im thinking is re flash rom but don't install nova launcher then add in mobile share and hope it installs. I re flashed rom like 6 times with trial and error and have everything I want on gear now so I'm trying to avoid flashing again.Is there another way to add nova prime without re flashing rom?I also tried to uninstall but that fails also.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
TIBU can do this for you.

Make sure you have another launcher available. Touchwiz... whatever..

Go into TIBU and Uninstall Nova - it's in there I believe as system app since flashed with ROM options in Aroma.

Reboot.

Now you should be able to get your sideloaded Nova Launcher Prime installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] iBuzman:
Prime is just a license for Nova, for Prime to work you will need to keep base Nova install else you will have the license but not the launcher.

I have been using prime, it works well with more gestures supported. I have set two finger swipe up to root Explorer and two finger swipe down for notifications - would be lost without it.

(sry I haven't actually helped you install it, I just installed via play)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mikep2323:
Thanks but it worked how he said.I have nova and prime all in one apk.I guess it's like that cause I got prime for free.

Will this new Tizen update affect the use of this rom? Like will the gear manager still be able to sync? I have the gear 2 and also gear 1 but best part of the gear 1 is this ROM lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
I believe Tizen will totally over-write and eliminate this ROM from the watch. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] perlmane:
It makes sense that if this rom is built on top of Android, and the OS that the rom is based on goes away, I anticipate a demanding technical challenge.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] exynos5250x:
Tizen will raplace everything from the bootloader stack, to re-partitioning every partition to follow tizen boot sequence, people should refrain from flashing tizen until someone can figure out a way to revert back to android, something witch might prove very challenging indeed, unless we can compile a rootfs compatible with tizen(its linux based) with some kind of dual booting....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] perlmane:
Take this warning seriously. I have Tizen on mine. Bugs on the Gear Manager are unacceptsble. Goodbye Gear. Cannot wait for Wear - and it wil not be Samsung's version. Do not trust them anymore.

Fused location has stopped

Hi all,

Searched but didn't see anything on this. Just started running the NULL 23 rom on my GG 1 not long ago. Very nice work. Sometimes tho, the screen starts getting weird like tearing, flickering, then black. Touching the screen usually brings it back. A short time after this, I get an error msg saying Fused location has stopped 2 times. I hit ok then things seem ok. Any idea what's causing this or what's happening? Also, if it matters, I'm running the cpu @ 200/600.

Thanks!

If this happens go to developer settings and enable "force gpu rendering" and "disable hardware overlays"

Thanks for your reply exynos5250x. Force GPU Rendering was already selected. Disable Hardware Overlays was not selected. I checked the box for that & restarted the watch. Checked again to see if it was still checked and it didn't stick. Checked Disable Hardware Overlays again without restarting. I'll see how it goes. But I did want to learn a little bit more about what this error is about & what might be causing it.

A good number of us (myself included) flashed Samsung's Tizen update, and root is available. Jijonhyuni was kind enough to provide us with a root method and the partition table over in General. Care to take a poke at the system and recovery images so development can continue?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Tizen is a new OS, there's not many development tools available to modify the actual firmware as there is Android..

Im downloading the image now just to have a poke around..

Seems like a worthless trade off, Android is offering me everything the new tizen OS is.. I highly doubt I will continue development on tizen, I just don't see any advantages.

Can't blame you. I will be leaving Samsung for Moto 360.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dirtymindedx:
You would think with samsung raising the bar and adding an IR blaster and camera that the others would follow. Everyone seems to be staying away from these things. I am using jedi rom and tizen on the gear and it seems to be working fine not buggy as some have stated. As powerful as android os is on the device I found myself not using the features fully so it was easy enough for me to try tizen and not be hit to hard by changes. They took away the native "line" app I grew fond of and swiping down no longer gets you camera. They gave us some sleeping apps and running and a different set of menus which allows more apps on home screen. I am satisfied. As everyone says no going back.

Is it safe to flash directly null over tizen

Is it safe to flash directly tizen over null?

please did you flash it directly?

it's not working through kies?

Should we flash it via odin? and is it safe to flash it over a rooted null?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] perlmane:
I flashed it over null. But you have to use Odin. However, I would think twice. Null is so much better than Tizen. And the new Gear Manager required to support the Tizen rom stops the app and exits it every time I run My Apps. The Tizen rom does not support many of the apps I was running before. Do not consider this an upgrade. To me, it is a downgrade. I cannot wait for the Google Wear smartwatches to come out. I am not interested in dealing with such a proprietary operating system as Tizen truly is.

Lg g watch just got dumped

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/06/0...ed-online-shows-legit-android-boot-animation/

Do you think you could look around and see if anything can be ported to null?

btw

I am sticking to Android. I agree with you. The flexibility of Android apps (Primarily Opera for me) outweigh the stuff Samsung adds to its Tizen Rom.

UPDATE:

Looking at the several apks that come on the g watch, I think "Shell" is basically the launcher where you get the google now cards. There are other interesting ones like a "Maps micro". I think the main concerns would be: 1. Are they based on the 4.4 API? Because that would make it much more difficult to port to the gear on the current rom (4.2.2). 2. Does the G watch, more specifically the shell use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or what to communicate with the phone and present google now cards? Gear only has Bluetooth...

Hmm....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ednono:
Null is super

I'm not arguing the superiority of null, but,

1.I'm afraid that as soon as tizen is deployed and replaced all android os-es as it comes to gear that it's compatibility with the gear manager will stop.

2. I read overall that tizen improved battery life, I don't know by how much, but I'm really thinking of crossing over especially that lately my battery won't last more than a day and a half on null. (sensor, turned off; brightness on 1)

did you notice a difference when it comes to battery life?

thank you for your response
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] perlmane:
While I have no answers to any of your questions, I can only presume that whatever Google offers, it will be more open and will attract many more developers than will Tizen due to the sheer number of smartwatch manufacturers who will support that platform. Even Samsung has announced it will be supporting Google Wear. I guess they do not know for sure if Tizen will be as successful in the marketplace as they wish it would be. Perhaps the main reason they came out with it is because their government asked the Korean manufacturers to come out with an operating system from that country and to leave Android behind. Whatever the reason, Tizen can never be what an open-source, cross-platform operating system with such a head start and very well developed developer community already is.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Frankly, I have not noticed measurable differences in battery life. Perhaps it is true on the Gear 2, but not so much on the original Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OniKyanAE86:
Overclock Kernel is way better.....

I use the Overclock Kernel and I'm getting 3-4 days per charge, which is about the normal charge intervals I have always had or better. You just need to know how to set it up correctly. I use the built in Voltage Control app built into the Settings. I'm running the I/O Scheduler as "CFQ" and CPU Governor on "Ondemand" and Min at 400Mhz and Max at 600Mhz and it runs way faster and buttery smooth and that's at a slower speed than the stock 800Mhz. Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast emulator even runs close to perfect with these settings on my Galaxy Gear. Its more efficient to run multiple cores as there is less stress between them, hence being able to run at a slower speed, but still have better performance than one core running at a higher speed all stressed out. If you run it Min 400Mhz and Max 400Mhz it will stay at 400Mhz and still perform better than stock 800Mhz with the two cores. Set both cores at 1.6Ghz and you will be lucky to get the battery to last an hour or two if that and a possibly burnt wrist. You just need to figure out the correct settings for the level of performance you want. If you want a super boost in battery life turn off Bluetooth, my watch lasts about 5-6 days without a charge by doing that. One last tip, I don't use the full Android System UI and Notifications tray when customizing the _null rom in the Aroma installer, for some reason it has always been very glitchy and having to deal with "force gpu rendering" and "disable hardware overlays" options in the developer settings never really fixed those issues. _null runs better without the "full Android UI/Tray." Hope this information helps out anyone out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mikep2323:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] perlmane:
You are 1,000% right!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RockRatt:
Ya I also am not thrilled or wanting to update to tizen. I mean WHY?

OK Samsung will no longer give us Android based updates. But with Null I can use MANY apps from the playstore, not just what is on Samsung's Gear apps. Maybe at some point we can get a other Android watch ported to ours? Or even like what my old Samsung Tab 7 has is a phones ROM on it and made for use on my tab? The playstore has many more app options that can be run on android and on Null ROM. If all else fails in the long run I will just use my watch with the current Null ROM and whatever apps that I can get to work on it until it dies. It works perfectly. I also do not see Tizen growing huge like Android anytime soon if ever. It would take more manufacturers to start using it over android for it to actually grow huge. So as long as it is ONLY a Samsung OS I do not think it will ever be Great.

I am not saying it won't work good, just saying app dev's will not flock to it unless it got huge. It will end up with its app store more or less like how Samsung Apps store is already, pretty boring...
