[Samsung Gear 2] renbren:
I'm a long time android modder, got a gear 2 last week and one thing that i don't like about it, is the lack of customization. I like to be able to change my icons, and using a few different guides and adding a few different steps, I've been able to modify my system icons pretty easily, Thought i would write a guide for anyone who wanted to do so as well. I don't have the skill to make an app or anything to do this all automatically, that would be awesome. Screenshots attached are photos taken of my Gear 2 Neo.

I'm crap at writing guides, i may add pics or expand the guide depending on interest/feedback. Its fairly simple, in a nutshell you grant root access, and make the system read/write. Using the IDE Connection explorer you navigate to and replace the png files with your own. Please make sure you either follow my guide, as this changes things that can potentially cause issues. don't mess with other files except the png's listed in this guide, unless of course you know what you are doing.

Before you start!

- Your gear 2 must have root, you need to be able to mount the file system read/write to be able to replace files.

- You need the Tizen IDE for wearables, as my guide uses the Connection Explorer as a file manager, rather than pushing files with commands through sdb (much much easier). you need to mount the file system read/write with sdb first, or CE will throw up an unknown error.

-Plug your gear 2 into your PC.

1. Open a command prompt in the same folder as your sdb

2. Enter the commands : sdb root on

sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /

3. Open Tizen IDE, on the left you will see the Connection Explorer, right click on the text and click detached so you can resize the window. You'll see your device listed in the left side of the window.

4. Navigate to the folder locations below in the left side of the window to find the icons you want to replace, they should show up in the right side of the window.

5. Rename your icon to the same as the one you want to replace. Click the push icon (phone with arrow pointing towards it) and find the file on your computer, click ok. You'll get a warning asking to replace the file (file names i've found included below, or you can just right click the png and rename it to add old or something onto the end of the existing file)

6. Repeat steps 4-5 for each app or system icon you want to replace.

7. When done, go back to the command prompt, and remount the system with : sdb shell mount -o remount,ro /

Reboot your watch when you are done , i found sometimes it showed the icons, sometimes you had to reboot to get the new ones to show. Bit more info below, but feel free to share your experiences and updated icons!

Fonts

You can also add new fonts! simply use the same procedure above, and navigate to /usr/share/fonts. push the new fonts you want, and they will appear in the font menu.

Luck with fonts so far is a bit varied, some look great, some are completley unreadable. play around with your favourite fonts to see if they work.

Icon Sizes

I've had mixed results with icon sizes, some are really small, some are freaking huge. Original icon sizes on the gear 2 show most are 90x90 or 170x170. scaling seems to be a bit random, the pics attached are 128x128 icons.

File Locations

This is a work in progress, i'll be adding more as i find them (or if anyone wants to help, feel free!)
