[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshkhanna:
In the Samsung native gallery app, it shows folders like whatsapp images which I don't want to see. Please advise how to hide it. Any help?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Place an empty file named .nomedia in the directory that you don't want to be visible in the gallery. If it's already in the gallery, then also rescan media afterward. Or simply reboot.

The .nomedia flag tells media scanner to ignore that directory.

Please help me. After rooting my galaxy core i8262 (dual sim) and installing cwm recovery, I did a factory reset because wifi stopped working. Now my phone only boots into cwm with or without pressing volume key. The worst part is my pc no longer recognizes my phone so I can't use odin. I hav reinstalled the samsung usb driver several times and I don't know whatelse to do. Please help me
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] pepmat:
You can install SamyKat Rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] MirXas:
Enter the download mode using the key combination, not through recovery. It will work.

I am in download mode but my pc still does not recognize the phone and samsung galaxy driver is installed. I have tried 3 usb cables but no luck. Please what else can I do. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] tys0n:
Try another USB port, and make sure that nothing with kies is running on your computer, open odin as admin.

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Gede Ary Wijaya:
i faced the same problem

there are 2 way to solve this problem

1. changes your samsung usb drivers there are many kind of it which has different size, i use the 23MB of Samsung Usb Drivers and install it then flash the rom you want to install through odin

if the first method doesn't work try second method :)

2. download the rom you want to install, better to download the stock rom and then sent it to your micro sd card then flash it through cwm it'll work

if i help you don't forget to hit thanks :)

I need cwm zip for samsung galaxy core i8262 without pc.. somebody any help me please?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] TheWarrior01:
why don't you try TWRP, its here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-core/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-samsung-galaxy-t3468405 and the best thing its flashable without Odin. If you dont have custom recovery but your device is rooted then try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en (Rashr App) to flash it.

If your device is not rooted and no custome recovery but you still wanna get it, then follow the rest of this post:

1st Get the KingRoot Apk from the XDA.

2nd Download and Install it.

3rd Root your device from the app and flash the recovery using the Rashr app.

4th Optional: Highly Suggested though, get the latest build of SuperSu and keep in SD/ Internal. Now uninstall Kingroot from the app, it removes the root too, but who cares, you have the recovery now. Now boot into recovery and flash the SuperSu zip.

Why did i Suggest SuperSu, well Kingroot contains some bloatware stuff and takes more space then SuperSu and is bit slow.

P.S sorry for my bad English.

I just bought a Note 10.1 2014 tablet. It's on Android 4.3, I have rooted it with Odin. I would like to disable the auto update to prevent it from updating to Kitkat. I have freezed FWUpgrade 1.2.0 with Titanium Backup. Is that enough? Or do I need to freeze/rename some other files? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Griggs2121:
Just curious why you don't want the update? I have a p600 wi fi only and I have to say I've got much better performance after the update. That said my note 3 was awful after the update
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] awdrifter:
I have my reasons. If anyone knows please help.

I also found 2 other programs that could be updaters (Software Update v3_1308_2_1 and Software Update v6_1308_5_1), I have also freezed them for now.

I have my phone (Samsung Note 3) getting automatically updated overnight even though it's rooted (thankfully that was still on 4.3). Can anyone confirm that for the Note 10.1 once it's rooted I will not get any more OTA updates? Thanks.

I believe with root, you still received the OTA update, but it will failed when you try to run the update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] awdrifter:
Ok cool. As long as it can't successfully update through OTA. I have everything I need to use on 4.3, unless there's an app that requries 4.4 or higher, I don't want to update.
[Samsung Gear 2] dazkeirle:
Wow this looks super impressive, trying now
[Samsung Gear 2] dazkeirle:
Surprised this hasn't got more attention, finding this really interesting.

Do you have any tasks that you use to give me some inspiration?

I now have ad hoc notifications for lots of bits but It appears tasker probably is alot more powerful.
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
Probably because installing from the galaxy apps store was limited to stand-alone apps until now, on custom roms at least. Getting rid of the “Installation Failed. Try Later.(0)“ error is mandatory but the workaround does not work for everybody, yet, from what I see in the other thread.

I'm also new to tasker (had only macrodroid before) and also searching for some inspiration. Taskertutorials has a lot of videos, expecially for voice automation, which I didn't try yet (english is not my first languare... and it's silly for me to speak english to my watch/phone, even at home)

There are 2 ways to interact with tasker with your gear:

getting only notifications from tasker delivered to your gear, which works without LaunchGear and even with the “Installation Failed. Try Later.(0)“ error, as it's unrelated.

getting your gear to control tasker, which is covered in the first post.

Think of what you want your phone to run or automate, like: turning on your laptop (see first image) by using the wol plugin, or anything that can be sent to the gear, without having to always take the phone out or when it's charging.

If you are a sysadmin, you could ping websites and get a warning notifications automatically to your gear when they are offline. This works one-way too, so no need for LaunchGear, only if you want to manually check the state using your gear. I have this too and get errors when sites from work or my home router is offline, which are checked every 5 minutes. Running ssh commands from gear to tasker and then to your home or external server is also possible (haven't found free plugins for this yet)

Tasker is also good for home automation using your phone and dedicated hardware like zwave & co. Imagine controlling your home with your watch :D teoretically, this is possible but I don't have home automation devices yet...

Right now I plan to connect tasker to unified remote. This will bring a lot more possibilities for controlling my network devices at home.

Some tips will also be added to the first post.
[Samsung Gear 2] ricketkm:
OMG been looking for tasker for Gear 2, I'm gonna have to try this when I get home. Saw tasker working for Android wear and got jealous now I can try it yes :good::good: thank you, now I just have to root my S4. Does anybody have a link for samsung app store I have a S3 with custom rom want to test it out on that phone first before I try it out on mm daily phone ?
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
Glad to hear :)

For the samsung app store related issues, please see the: [Guide] How to set up Galaxy Gear 2 for non Samsung devices (Full Tutorial) , especially the first post and then page 53 and 54 because you will need that Samsung app store workaround from these pages to work in order to get the desired results of this tutorial.

[Samsung Gear 2] yohappy:
Ns Auto Clear from tasker how do i do it please need help

I have the battery notification icon always showing Ns would love to get ridd of it thanks:)
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
If Android wear still uses a smartphone for it's automations (and Tasker), then yes, it's the same.

After you install Ns Auto Clear from the app store, run it and enable it for the desired application.

L.E. please see step 6 in my first post. you can use tasker to remove the notifications automatically after they appear.

thanks for your quick reply Medox2 :)

[Samsung Gear 2] FdeKlerk:
Point proven! Is it possible for the Dev to share an apk link due to the fact that the app is free?
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
Please always use: Gear Manager -> Samsung Apps -> Search for LaunchGear, like described in the tutorial.

If I open GALAXY Apps directly, it will not find LaunchGear.

If it's not even in the "gear app store", then this is indeed country dependent. Could you try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2312215 ? It's the closest I could find for now. I will make some tests too.

$@*& !!!! Why does nobody develop for tizen???

Now i have to revert back to android just to run apps where tizen has the upper hand on battery life????

Why!!!
[Samsung Gear 2] dazkeirle:
There is tons of development for Tizen, you're just looking at an earlier stage.

I think considering how new it is Tizen, and Samsung have done a great job at getting adoption.

We could do with some further integration and support from the big apps / companies, but this will come, hopefully.

If not then we still get additional control where it matters and notifications in absent of direct control in lieu of full app functionality.

If I had Trello, MyFitnessPal, eBay, Facebook and Gmail / Hangouts I'd be set.

Samsung Gear Store:

I just changed this line in built.prop and I got 250 app and more on the Samsung Gear Store.

Edited: ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A

Location: /system/build.prop

Tasker:

You can use “Notify Cancel” in Tasker to remove the notification on your phone.

The “Notify Cancel” is under “Alert” in Tasker when you select an Action.

Hope this can help !
[Samsung Gear 2] ricketkm:
How did you do that ? I am still trying to get a hold on how to create my own tasks...
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
The thread from [MENTION=5890045]zzEvilGeniuszz[/MENTION] could help: Samsung Gear 2 (Stock) Fully Working With Non-Galaxy. He said it's working for him. Never bothered with S-Voice too much as I don't want voice automation and it does not work on my gear but it seems to be possible. The other big thread about getting the gear 2 to work with non-galaxy also had some posts about s-voice working.

Brilliant! Thanks :)

Just wondered while going to work this morning if tasker could also remove the notifications, because Ns Auto Clear is not even rendered correctly on my phone.

I will correct the tutorials because it is much easier like this. :good:
[Samsung Gear 2] ricketkm:
As for notificatioN i just turned it off in tasker before I export it as an app, so when I increase or decrease volume I don't get notified.
[Samsung Gear 2] slaydog:
I did just as the OP instructed, but set up a task to put up a lock screen:

(use numbers instead of asterisks, lol)

The lock option is under "Display".

It's not the Android lock, and I guess it's not as secure, but would definitely slow someone down...
[Samsung Gear 2] psycho-sonic:
Can someone please share the app "LaunchGear"?

I'm not able to see it in my gear manager app store :(

Edit: See this to late, sorry!
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
And was somebody able to install it using only the apk?

I get "Failed to install app", 10 seconds after the apk was installed, when it tries to install on the gear in the background.

Currently I try to install it without using the store. Extracting the LauncherGearConsumer.wgt from the .apk and trying to install it through the sdb (like adb but for samsung tizen) give me first SIGNATURE_INVALID [22].

After importing the .wgt in Tizen's IDE (from the sdk) and building the project again works with many errors and the signature_invalid error disappears, but now there is UNKNOWN_ERROR [42]...

Before just extracting the .wgt I used a method that was a little over-complicated (which I don't really recommend):

when you install the LaunchGear through the GALAXY apps store, and switch fast to a file manager with root explorer, you will find two files appearing in the folder /data/data/com.samsung.android.hostmanager/app_Providers/Gear2, while the installing takes place. The files are:

LauncherGearConsumer.wgt

signature.zip

and if you are fast enough you can copy them to another location (or the LauncherGearConsumer.zip that is also generated at the end) right before they all disappear again, as the app finished installing on the gear.

In the end it's the same .wgt and building the project again with the tizen ide/sdk also gives the same unknown_error.

Did anyone try [MENTION=1979434]stanguay[/MENTION]'s method of changing the the line to ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A in /system/build.prop ?

Maybe that is faster for most of you, just be

VERY

careful with /system/build.prop ! you can brick your phone.

The app store results could indeed differ depending on the model. I also changed the model to GT-I9500 (from GT-I9300) before installing LaunchGear.

[MENTION=5480060]FdeKlerk[/MENTION], [MENTION=2468197]RevengeDevTeam[/MENTION]

what phones do you have and what is your ro.product.model in /system/build.prop ?
[Samsung Gear 2] FdeKlerk:
So at this point in time, I am using tizen on my gear!

[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
Going back to Android on the Gear 2? Not possible. Maybe you mean the Gear (1).

What gear do you have and what phone?

Still not finding LaunchGear in the store?
[Samsung Gear 2] FdeKlerk:
Indeed i do have the gear 1. But why would it not work on the gear one?
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
No wonder nothing was working for you :D

LaunchGear shows up only for the Gear 2.

Don't know of any free launcher for the Gear 1 + Tizen but there are some for Gear 1 + Android.

Gear 1 sub-forum should have more information on this but if you find a launcher for the Gear 1, then the Tasker part of my tutorials should still be useful.
[Samsung Gear 2] FdeKlerk:
Can you please explain what you mean by "Launcher" ?
[Samsung Gear 2] Medox2:
An app on the Gear that launches apps from your phone. Like the LaunchGear you see in my screenshots, it has a list of apps that are linked to the apps on the phone.

For Gear 2 there is LaunchGear (and another paid launcher which I didn't test)

For the Gear 1 on Tizen, if there is no result while searching for "Launch" in the gear manager -> samsung apps, perhaps there is no launcher yet? Not sure why gear 2 apps are not backwards compatible with the gear 1.

For the Gear 1 on Android there is: TasGear:

DAMNIT!

I recently sold my Gear 2 cause I was jealous of Android Wear cause of the ability to use Tasker. I think maybe I should pick up another Gear 2 on Craigslist.
[Samsung Gear 2] FdeKlerk:
To be looked at.

Morning guys!

So like i said, i have tried taskgear a few time... But recently something went right, now I do not know why or how i just now it fixed my problem.

There are 2 plugins required for the "Gear manager" 1 is the "Gear 1 plugin" and 2nd is the "Gear 2 plugin".

Now upon installing the "Gear manager" it only copies the plugin to some place, not installing it. So i went ahead and installed this plugin for gear 1.

Tried to install taskgear and it just worked. Like that!

Remember to follow all the requirements to connect to taskgear in "preferences" under "misc" "allow external access"

And i do not know if this works on any other roms then TW 4.4...

Regards hopes this helps someone! (My build.prop is not MODIFIED!)
[Samsung Gear 2] artybee:
I'm using AppLauncher on the Gear 1 (Tizen) to do the same thing.
[Samsung Gear 2] stanguay:
Hello, I am little confused with your post?

Did you install "Tasgear" or "Taskgear" on Tizen Gear ?

Because "Tasgear" is an Android app and not Tizen.

If you installed "Tasgear" on Tizen gear can you provide more detail please.

I tried to install "Gear 1 Plungin" and it fail on Tizen Gear1.

I can see "Tasgear" on my Phone but never been installed on watch.

Thanks
[Samsung Gear 2] FdeKlerk:
Hi. Sorry for not being clear on this, my mistake i reverted back to android. Use launchgear on tizen gear 1 with gear 1 plugin and gear 2 plugin.

If they fail to install copy them over to /system/app/ .
[Samsung Gear 2] leojab:
Drop all this.. Use wearable widgets app found in samsung store to use tasker ;)
[Samsung Gear 2] gdanonym:
I found that also yesterday. But that one is also not perfect.

It's slow, won't respond all the time when the screen of the phone is off.

You also need a good widget, which can show the icons nice and big, but not to big. Use Launch-X for this.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the community. I've been reading the forums for a few days now, and want to thank everyone for their great works.

I need help in getting LaunchGear to work on my Samsung Gear 2.

I have a AT&T Samsung S5 Active and connected to a Samsung Gear 2. None of my devices are rooted. All stock.

I have Tasker + App Factory Plugin + LaunchGear installed on my phone. I can launch the LaunchGear app and add the "Phone Battery Level" task to it. When I run it I do get the notification on the Gear 2 watch. But I don't see LaunchGear as an app on my Gear 2. Do I need to root my Gear 2 first? What steps am I missing? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear 2] TheBobMiller:
Where did you install the LaunchGear app from? From the Galaxy App store or from the Gear Manager itself?
[Samsung Gear 2] Kick8zz:
Thanks "alienmanam" for your response.

I installed the .apk that was provided by "ricketkm" post. The forum will not allow me to quote "ricketkm" post #25 from this forum since I'm new.

I searched over and over on the Gear Manager for LaunchGear, and multiple times had no results. I even tried searching Samsung App store and Google Play with no luck either. So I went ahead and downloaded and installed "ricketkm" .apk file.
[Samsung Gear 2] TheBobMiller:
So everything is working fine for you now?
[Samsung Gear 2] Kick8zz:
No, I still cannot launch LaunchGear on my Gear 2. And LaunchGear is not available as an App on my Gear Manager.
