HI dudes,

Sorry for being a noob but two questions :

1- is there any good thinks except the battery life going to Tizen ? I mean, I would loose the ability to install apk ... bye-bye sonic cd game, bye bye emulators ...

2- Mod apk ? do you mean there is a way to use apk from the ggogle store on tizen ?

3- Before going to Tizen, the tuto warns that "Update your gear to the NF1 FW ", where can i find the firmware on my Watch, I can't see clearly "NF1" in paramaters ... anyway, is there a way to find it on xda ?

Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
1- i like tizen specially for battery life and better notification since i have an lg g3 and with android the notification system was worst, at least for me.

2- the most part of apps downloaded from samsung store come as apk with the android part and the tizen wgt inside. If you haven't a compatible phone that apps can't be installed. I modded my rom to enable the installation of that apk but the wgt inside must be resigned with the standard certificate that you can find in the tizen sdk.

3- i suggest to update with kies, the nf1 is the latest fw avaible. But if you come from android the watch will be updated twice until it gets the nf1.

[MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION] how am i supposed to install the signed (by you) watchstyler.apk?

I have installed SDB and i can connect OK and push things onto the watch.

But how exactly do i install an APK? Shouldn't it be an .WGT or smth?

Thanx
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
Just install on the phone like a normal apk. The apk modded by me that you can find also in the linked thread can be installed like every android app.

Isn't cool? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gidi:
Oh ****, now i get it...

I have to use an Android phone for that.

I was hoping that i could install stuff on the watch only via SDB commands.

No Android phone, just the watch and the PC.

Of course i do understand the importance of your contribution. Before your ROM you had to have a Samsung approved phone to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
No mate... You can also sideload the wgt inside the assets folder in the apk but without the android part i'm not sure you can set the watch faces
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alucard_xs:
Thanks for your answer ;)

Can I upgrade my Watch using Kies ? atm my Watch is on 4.2.2 modded (I can install apks on it now througout the launcher) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
Not sure but you can try... Or flash a stock firmware from sammobile (android version) and then update with kies
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gidi:
Cool! How do i install the .wgt? Via SDB?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
Yes

Sdb install your-widget.wgt
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gidi:
Okay Skin, thanx a lot!

Did you by any chance had the time to look at this BT stack thing i told you about?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Novembre5:
When I download an app from Gear Manager, Samsung Apps, where are the apks download location? I would like to download from the store, and then modify the apk. Is that possible, or do I need to search for the apk online? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JacK_Sparr0W:
Good work guy… :good:

Now can I install the Calibri font created by iFont or I can just upload in Gear ? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gav83collins:
connect to kies, if u need nf1 it will update you

no modded apks are only for apps from the galaxy app store made available to non samsung phones

no the null rom is far superior in terms of tweaks and options
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
With a root browser go in /data/data/ and copy the apk of the application on your sdcard. Then pull and mod it. After that you can install it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
Follow the guide on 2nd post. Care to rename the ttf with no space or special chars.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
Not for now i'm sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] adionita:
call log

does anybody know why there isn't a call log app in the gear?

i know i had it on android rom but has this been removed in tizen or just in TizenMod ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RekiOneR:
I'm really sorry for the dummy question but i tried to open a shell to run the "sdb" commands but i don't know how i have to proceed. What is the binary file? Think i missed something...

I follow this thread (here) I tried to open the shell via "c:\ sdb sheel" but i have the message "this command does not exist..."
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noellenchris:
make sure your in the folder where you have the sdb.exe file, and also I think you had a typo above. Make sure your typing "sdb shell" with 2 l's and not 2 e's. So if you put sdb.exe in the root like you typed C:\ then it should work.

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
i have it but it's not working ( i suppose cause i'm not on a samsung phone)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RekiOneR:
Thanks again noellenchris, so i understand that i miss the "sdb.exe" file. I have to search it now, think it will be a little bit easier by this way lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] adionita:
i don't have it in my gear menu. i had it when i used an android rom on the gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ceyad:
just installed to my gear.

already download gear manager but it said need to upgrade my devices.

do i need to MOD gear manager apk to work on G2?

or how the simple way to conect to other samsung devices?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] adionita:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ceyad:
i use cludystock ROM base on KK.

and now i can use my gear with tizen rom on G2 cloudystcok, i use this method

Just wondering how we get the apks without the Samsung app store? I saw this thread about a non Touchwiz appstore apk, would this work? If not, any kind soul feel like uploading some (modded/non-modded) apks? Really I just want to be sure before I start flashing and sideloading a bunch of stuff, that I'll be able to get ahold of the apks I will need.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
You can ask the needed apks in the thread. I haven't many free time but that nice guy called [MENTION=3402861]gav83collins[/MENTION] is always ready to help.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
First you have to update to the last version of tizen, i used kies 3 for that, then you can install this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bigmew22:
I just did so if need be I could revert back to android even though kies says I can't?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
People reported that the rom for gear 2 will work also for gear 2 neo. Btw, if not, i will build a rom for that watch. If you can, test it and report in PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
Yes, just follow the nice guide on downgrade from tizen to android that you can find in general section.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] laehtis:
I flashed TizenMod 3.0 to my Gear and installed your suggested Gear Manager on Note 3 with CM 4.4.4 and all apk's inside it. However when I try to connect to Gear, it says that Unbale to connect to Gear, your phone is unsupported. What could be the problem? I also resetted the Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Acedooncoon:
Wait am I reading this correctly???? Once I flash this Rom on my Gear 2 Neo I can then be able to use it on any other Android phone? Not just Samsung? And I can also use it on costume ROMs such as ASOP????

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] laehtis:
Thanks, got it working now after testing many versions of Gear Manager.

My device: Note 3 SM-N9005 with Temasek unofficial CM build, Android 4.4.4

To others who have problems connecting to Gear (unable to connect, device unsupported etc. errors) here's how I got it working:

1. Download the latest Gear Manager from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573200 (great thread, be sure to thank OP)

2. Install downloaded Gear Manager but don't open it yet

3. Unzip the downloaded Gear Manager and go to unzipped folder and install all of the APK's from Assets-folder.

4. Double-check that you have installed all of the APK's and head back to the thread and download GearManagerStub.apk and install it.

5.Now open the Gear Manager and connect to Gear.

also does anyone know how to get the logs app to the gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nanoinside:
Thank-you so much will flash tonight :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alucard_xs:
So you just plugged your Watch, used kies 3 and it upgraded your nullrom directly to tizen ? no need to go first on the lastest android firmware ?

I mean :

I thought :

NUllrom ---- android lastest official version --- tizen ---tizenmod ?

Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] psycho1200:
Thanks, for sharing us i will try it but, Do you have the hability to install applications under gear manager ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] laehtis:
If you mean installing apps from Samsung Store through Gear Manager, then no, at least with the modded Samsung Store apk I'm using (have to use modded, so I can use it on AOSP). When I try to install something it shows parsing error. Have to find some other apk to do that
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] masterbox:
Thanks for the work mate ! Just one question, how does the watch acts when receiving a call, does it act like a classic bt receiver (call automatically on the watch which is annoying) or like the gear with a samsung phone (you need to take rhe call from the watch to use it as a bt headset)

And what about using it with a bt car kit ? Working or not ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skin1980:
The first you said....

Didnt teste with a bt car kit, i havent. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RekiOneR:
Have 2 cars with Parrot kits, there's no problem, phone calls are managed by Parrot.

I can compose the call from phone or Gear and the call is through BT car kit.

In the same way, when i receive a call, i can pick up from gear or phone but sound will be also managed by the BT car kit
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] paule213:
nice! nice!

Best Regards!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] boywithabeard:
2 Questions: 1.When you say to install "all" of the apks in the assets folder Gear Manager, does that include the ones in the folder called

"gear2Apks"?

2. I am unable to recieve notifications on my M8, did I miss enabling something? I noticed the OP said they were working for him.

Edit: Got it figured out thanks for the ROM. I managed to get Fleksy[1] working to reply but haven't figured out how to recieve notifications yet.(for fleksy)

Somehow I no longer have s-voice on my gear. Running the gear with a g3 and all was well, decided to install skins latest and poof, no more s-voice. Heading back to stock and will try again, does anyone have it handy I can push over to the watch and try that if it doesnt return after re-installing?

EDIT- Installed stock, no s-voice. Installed your build and s-voice came back...<shrugs>
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Headshot.de:
How you can install S-Voice without Touchwiz ? G3 > LG ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Yes, lg g3. Here's a how to for anyone to follow that wants. S-voice doesn't work on the phone but does from the watch to the phone, so everything you would do with s-voice from the gear works just fine. If you already are up and running you should* be able to just do the s-voice part, build prop edit is only needed to get the gear manager from the galaxy store, iirc I didn't have to edit it for s-voice to function and its now set back to LG-D851, also worth noting I didn't change the whole build prop as the guide says to do, only the product model.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] boywithabeard:
So you did everything without installing gear manager? Or you let it update from the Galaxy store? I tried this but couldn't get it to push the apk to the gear. Also lost my messaging notifications, because of the build prop edit or the Samsung App store, not sure which one or both. You mind walking us through exactly what you did and where you started from? Also, anyone know of a watch app that can turn on the device screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Sure, I am going to flash the new build of sky dragon on my phone this evening and will document the steps along with what files I used exactly to get up and running.

Edit- Well so far I am having no luck getting s-voice working, last time I had to re flash the ROM to get it to show up, now, nothing...will keep trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] masterbox:
Nice, what phone are you using ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anthonyweeg:
mr skin, pls help me by answering this question. if i flash this rom will it make my android 4.2.2 phone compatible with my gear? im looking for solutions but cant seem to find any that works.. im now trying your rom...

This may seem silly, but after you setup-folder.sh reboot and connect to computer, copy the .ogg files you want over to ringtone folder. Then do the sdb root on , sdb shell , install-ringtones.sh

5.Now open the Gear Manager and connect to Gear.

My first question is which apk I have to install? Apks in "PreInstallAPK" or "Gear2apk" or both?

Gear Manager can see the gear but I have "saprovider stopped" or "gear manager stopped" when I use the application.

More, I don't have any notifications. :crying:

It works but battery drains faster

I installed Tizen 3.0 on my gear when it was paired to my Galaxy S5 with Touchwiz running (M.O.A.R. ROM). Battery was great and all (around 2.5 days). I got fed up with touchwiz so I went over to the unified development and installed CM11. Pairing was a pain in the butt but I found the instructions in this posts that worked (Thank you for that too) and now I'm back to using my watch again but I've noticed a few things, some were already mentioned, and some not.

1. Battery life is shorter now. My watch will drain in less than a day now. I'm not sure what's causing it but it's dying much faster than when connected to touchwiz.

2. Notifications are delayed. I noticed my phone will ring for the message received, then 10 mins later, my watch will go off. It was confusing at first because i thought it was a new notification only to find out it was the same message.

3. The phone sees the watch as a bluetooth headset. If I answer a call on the phone, it will still come out from the watch until I switch to the earpiece. This is also causing another problem since I have stereo bluetooth heaphones that I use for music and phone calls. When both are paired, it will connect the watch as a phone only headpiece and the headphones as a media only device. So phone calls will not be redirected through the headphones. If I do try to force the connection, my watch will disconnect :(

4. Can I still install apps on the watch? I tried side-loading the apps from my titanium backup and it gave me an error for each install (I don't remember exactly what it said but it wasn't able to install it on the watch).

Other than that, I am able to use other parts of the watch just like normal (Camera, Timer, Countdown, Sleep Tracker).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Might try a factory reset for battery issues, it helps me when I flash a new ROM to my phone. You should be able to still download whatever you want from the galaxy store as I do without issue after I edit my build prop as I am using a lg g3.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Steve01351:
Silly question, but

This is for the original Galaxy Gear too, right? I already have TizenMod-Rom-SM-V700-UCNF1-by-Skin1980-v2.1 installed. What I downloaded was TizenMod-Rom-SM-R380-NE5-by-Skin1980-v3.0.

Thanks, BTW. Very impressive.

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noellenchris:
SM-R380 is the Gear 2, if you have original gear 1, then you need SM-V700 v3.0. Which fixes some of the scripts for installing sounds etc.

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Steve01351:
Yeah. Thanks for that. It was the "SM-380" that was making me nervous. I'd just googled "galaxy gear custom roms" and ended up with that download link. I just downloaded the correct one. And the sounds bothered me. Half of the ringtones and most of the notification sounds I installed just won't work. And I have absolutely no idea how to set an alarm tone. But that's not a biggie. I'd love to get the CAMERA and DIALER or CONTACTS quick access controls back though. They're just gone, so I need to use the shortcut clock just to have those controls.
