[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
I am always up for tinkering.... Can anyone tell me if they have run the gear with stock ROM on any phone and how well or worked? I read certain Samsung apps won't run right or at all. Just curious. Just started looking into a gear earlier tonight when I saw the price. My current watch is an old old Sony Ericsson liveview

---------- Post added at 04:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

Forgot to mention. I am mostly wanting notifications and if possible the ability to answer a call... And speaking of that.. If that is possible does the voice come out of the watch or phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Artimis:
I am running off my Galaxy S3 that still has Android 4.1.2 (which is not supported). Although I do have gear manager installed, most of the functions do not work....I can probably get away without it. It is possible to install gear manager on non-samsung devices and get the same result.

Currently, native notifications do not work with my setup. Neither does weather or svoice. I am using tablet talk for SMS/MMS. Calls do work as the phone views the gear as a Bluetooth speaker phone. When my gear is connected, voice always comes out oif the watch when answering calls (regardless of which device I use to answer) but I can easily switch it back to the phone from either the gear or the phone with the press of a button. I'm not certain, but I believe this is not the case for devices running 4.3+. Voice will come out of whatever device picks up.

As far as s-voice, I never use it. I have it disabled on my phone too. On my gear, I've installed Google offline voice packs and use a combination of Google Voice typing and utter! instead.

As far a email, hangouts, etc. I currently do not use my gear for it. However, I could always run those apps off my gear and Bluetooth tether to my phone for internet and have those things show up like the would on any android device.

Another alternative (which I am not using) would be SWapp link in the market. It supposedly works well with the gear and any phone to manage it as a companion app.

Hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
Oh wow. Thank you for the info. I was aware of svoice and the weather widget. Wasn't concerned about those. Just to check I'm guessing this is the SWapp app you mentioned:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.preiss.swapps.link

Forgot to ask. If the watch is running tizen can we still connect our N5? I ordered the Gear last night for $99. But it didn't state whether it was android or tizen. I like the bright coloring of tizen over android....plus I'd like to tinker with tizen but only if its possible to revert back to android....I don't have much experience with Samsung rooting and whatnot. I do have the original galaxy note 10.1 I bought about a year ago for cheap... Rooted and installed custom Roms and kernels on that. Guessing same or similar process now.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Artimis:
I don't think it is possible to do with Tizen. Not sure if it is possible to do with the stock android ROM as well. Need null ROM.

I know you can revert back to Android from Tizen....there is a thread on this in the general section. And, yes, that was the app I was talking about.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] s0mewhitedude:
I am pretty much guessing i am buggered, as i have updated to Tizen now.

Is there still a chance of going back to android version or Gear Live
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I've read a few times now that people are saying the Gear is based on 4.2.2 and Android Wear is 4.4.2. Well that didn't stop Tizen did it. Just make the firmware and it doesn't matter what previous firmware was on it. This should be easier as its Android based so no need to repartition the system and all that which you need to do with Tizen.

If someone can port it to the Gear then great. People know I think Tizen is crap but I think this Android Wear wont be much better as its missing a lot of features Android has on the Gear like a speaker, so you can make phone calls on the Gear but you cant with Android Wear so why even bother. It cant notify you of notifications, cant make calls, so thats making Android wear worse than Android and Tizen.

Still, if it gets released I'd give it a go. if its no good I'll just go back to Android like I do now.

Android wear is currently very simple interface. However, as more and more apps are made compatible, I'm sure it'll become a beast

Porting

Hello all,

I am a fairly new developer, I've done my fair share of hacking and programmed a few apps. However, I am dying to see Android Wear on my Galaxy Gear (1st-Gen), and since no one else is doing it, I'll take on the challenge.

I am currently porting CM 11 to the Gear.

I have no idea if I'll be able to port Wear to Gear 2, I don't even own one. I am going to port Wear to Gear 1 first, and cross the Gear 2 bridge later.

Money isn't too much of an object to me, because I started porting Wear before I even saw this post, but $500 (US) sounds prettttyyy sweet. Maybe it'll buy me a Gear 2 and I'll port Wear to that... who am I kidding I'm saving for the Moto 360:laugh: maybe if enough money is raised I'll buy both:p

Sadly, but also not sadly, I am going on vacation tomorrow and not coming home until next saturday, and I will be away from the computer all week... After that, however, I'm free. I will work on porting as much as I can, I'm hoping to get it done by the end of July maybe. We will see.

Thanks!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jred10:
Hi guys. Great forum

I tried to use my device today and it was unresponsive. The device was previously left on with full charge but when i came to use it the screen would not activate as normal. I tried turning the tablet on/off but still the screen was blank. I tried charging it but there was no charge icon.

I assumed a battery issue or some sort of bootloop. I followed the instructions on here to enter the bootloader menu but despite multiple power/volume button combos, nothing happened.

Then (stupidly) I realised the device was still switched on! I only realised this as i received an email and the notification light lit up! I am also able to contact and locate the device using Google Device Manager. So the device is switched on but the screen is dead :(

The device has not sufferred any physical damage. It was in a bag inside a case for a few hours with the screen locked.

Is there any way round this that you guys know of?

Many thanks in advance.

Under CM11, is there a way to either remove or disable the Trebuchet and Google Now Launchers? I don't use this (use Apex instead) so I really don't want them running and taking up space and resources.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dtto:
I rooted my Nexus7 using Wug's NRT, worked great. Then I took the OTA update to 4.4.3 and lost root. I thought to myself, no problem, I'll just run NRT again. I've selected the model and version fine, ADB and all the necessary files are loaded, bootloader is unlocked, and I've tried both just running the "root" command and running the unlock first, followed by the root script.

The scripts appear to complete successfully, but the device is not rooted.

Also, interestingly, the unlock command does not actually wipe the device.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Well, I'm not sure why this wasn't rooted, but I ended up just doing a factory reset/wipe cache and installed CM and now everything works. I suspect something may have been screwed up by rooting and then doing the OTA update. I'll leave this thread here in case others have the problem.

Not Rooting

Same Issue as above......

Have upgraded my WiFi+Cell Nexus 7 to 4.4.4 and can no longer root.

Upgrading didn't "re-lock" the device of tamper with the ADB drivers, all that continues to work fine.

Toolkit seems to think that it's pushing the Root files OK and boots into Bootloader but it just sits there.

After Toolkit times out selecting "Recovery Mode" on the N7 gives me the Android Dude with an " ! ".

I have tried with both TWRP and CWM to no avail.

Haven't had this issue before, previous Roots have been "as advertised" !!

Any thoughts??

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
From what you say I see you have done pretty much all the possibilities we know for recovering a bricked unit, and we don't have any shipped update with "ORANG001" CID yet, so the sd-card flash will not work with other NBHs.

Other that it seems that the CID is corrupted (you get no output from "info 2" in mtty!), try using USB Monitor as described in comment #11 in this post and see what it looks like on the exported .txt output file:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=278025

Sorry to say that if ROM upgrade utility is not able to talk to the bootloader anymore I guess you should send your phone to HTC's repair centre or wait for a Orange rom update matching your CID and try sd-card flashing with HERMIMG.nbh again to see if you're lucky with the right CID. :(

If it's insured you could "accidentally" drive yoyr car over it....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] paul.booth:
I discovered why the bootloader didn't like my SD card; it was formatted FAT and not FAT32. After I corrected that, whatever HERMIMG.nph image I use, the bootloader simply hangs at "checking..."; (I left it overnight to see if it was a sloooooow timing issue).

In all honesty I have been very disappointed with the device, the Bluetooth stack is more of a hindrance than a tool. If I run any peripherals via Bluetooth, and I do, extensively, I have to reset the device at random and unpredictable intervals (reminds me of the original 36xx iPAQs; guess HTC have gone back to their original stack :( )

I can feel a "faulty unit" scenario coming.

Thanks for the input anyway.

I am jumping from apple to the dark side and I would like to know if you can root without touching the boot loader on z2 tablet and is unlocking the boot loader for use of roms and kernels I have moved from the iPhone to note 3 and now it’s time for the iPad to go i like the of the Note 10.1 2014 but the Xperia z2 tablet looks even better I have read that you should back up the ta partition to keep drm keys to restore for warranty use on the Xperia z and just wanted to now it was the same for the z2 tablet? any help would help thanks for looking.:D
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberM:
I also use Apple devices, and i would call iOS "the dark side" as one never knows what is going on there, and why so many restricitions XD

Aside from that, you can root the Z2 tablet perfectly without unlocking the bootloader, and you will always be able to do it. If Sony ever releases a new firmware with rooting exploit patched, then you will always be able to downgrade, root, and update with a pre-rooted firmware. All without touching your bootloader. Downgrading to any firmware is allowed here.

Anyway it is a good idea to backup the TA partition of your device if you ever decide to go the bootloader unlocking way, so you can restore your device to 100% factory state later.

Have fun.

Hello guys how does the phone benefit from f2fs? Is it faster or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Good to know! I have a feeling that getting Shiny down to 262mb will do it. The 250mb "limit" came from me and is just an observation that someone reported that a 250mb F2FS ROM installed, but a 364mb F2FS ROM didn't. But if we do end up needing to pare it down further, it'll be good to look in other areas. Or if other ROMs need to be reduced and don't have the same APKs as Shiny.

If anyone uses our new releases from yesterday on Shiny, please report back! And SlimKat too.

It's a lot more than that. You need a special recovery, then reformat everything (system, cache, and data, including sdcard) to F2FS, leaving you in recovery with a completely blank device. Then you push a converted ROM over adb and flash it like normal. See the third paragraph of the OP starting with "NOTE".
