[Samsung Gear 2] ratcom:
had the original gear then the sony but once wear came out I grabbed myself a lg g watch which i liked but missed the camera all the way through all of them. Picked up a gear 2 changed the strap for metal one and could not be happier :o Love the camera which is a major need for me and function wise its fine although I'll admit the notifications are not on par with my lg but I prefer a peep to a vibrate too ;)

In short .... I love mine and trust me it turns heads when people notice it.
[Samsung Gear 2] ThE_SoUrCe:
it might be good on paper but it depends on how someone use a device. I got a free Gear 2neo when I bought my Tab S 8.4, sold the neo and bought myself a gear 2 basically for the camera, and the love-love (no love-hate here for me) relationship began, installed fleksy keyboard and i never have to pull out my tablet when travelling (i commute to one of the most dangerous place in the world LOL) added a few needed apps by editing my tab S build prop so I have the latest gear app list. answering calls with this looks a bit odd but awesome to others, although you hate it when people eavesdrop, so got me-self a gear circle, paired everything up and im a happy man.

camera wise, 2mpxl is enough for those quick snaps, like when a cool lambo stops beside you and you want a quick snapshot.

in the end, it all boils down on how you use it, it may not have all the bells and whistle that other platform has, still.. worth every penny i invested in.
[Samsung Gear 2] Kwbmm:
As an owner of the gear 2 neo I feel this device is nearly useless. Unfortunaltey, I couldn't choose the smartwatch as it was a present..

Right now I'm just using it to quickly check notifications, nothing else. Why? Because I hate Touchwiz so:

I don't use their email app -> can't use email feature on the gear

I don't use their sms app -> can't really reply to any message if not through SVoice (but that doesn't work that good)

Can't reply to most of the messages on whatsapp/telegram: maybe with flesky you can but since I'm not english mothertongue, I need to write into another language and I read it's a pain replying this way (if possible, haven't tried).

SVoice is SLOW: you ask for something, it spends too many seconds processing; try google now and you'll see the difference.

Now I'm using a touchwiz based custom rom on my GS4 to take advantage of the little things I can do (read notifications, check calendar, use svoice for replying to sms, check time!) but TW is sluggish and it's just not a good experience.

Also the total lack of any useful app for this smartwatch make it even more useless if possible.

Months have passed since the release of this product and there is no real development, so to me this is a dead product.

OP is partially right, if Samsung ports this to android wear we can still save something, otherwise Tizen isn't going anywhere and this watch will be just junk...
[Samsung Gear 2] Gadgetguy2005:
I think everything is relative. I love my Gear 2 Neo. I initially was not so sure (have also a pebble) - but now, after wearing it for a couple of days I will be selling the Pebble.

I love the amazing screen - with long battery life (do not want to charge daily - like android wear), the very fast notification; the good selection of useful apps (IR remote; remote view of phone camera; calendar; fitness apps; simple games; many many good watchfaces etc.); the ability to take a quick call on the watch itself...

Also, being able to send SMS messages directly from the watch is in many cases very handy.

I have shown the watch to a few colleagues of mine - now they also want one...

I understand you dont like it - I do. So do people I have showed mine to. ( I do not use Svoice - see no need for it; so I cannot comment on how good or bad it is)

Android Wear may have more apps - but the short battery life and lack of some features (use the watch as a phone, IR blaster etc.) - make Android Wear (for me) quite inferior to the Gear 2 Neo

If Samsung would port Android Wear to the gear 2 neo, so we can keep the features we have AND have the more apps: that would be of course best. But I would think that Android Wear would bring us the "feature" of needing to charge once per day - and that is not a feature I would want
[Samsung Gear 2] lngssf:
I can see the point you are making, you expected a james bond type watch and got somthing far from it. but your conclusion for it terrible is because of your expectations. I see i a lot of people saying lack of apps is a factor that gear 2 is no good, have you seen android wear it does not have any apps, it only works as an extension to your existing apps. the only thing good about the android wear is the OK Google hot word, and as much as it sounds and looks good in the videos it just doesnt work when you want it to.

Also what do you want from a smart watch, give me an example of an app that is so badly needed on the watch and it does not exist?

and finally its a watch you are not suppose to spend time on it its just there to make little things easier, you dont want to be engaged with it for more than 10-20s.

Also as far as my knowledge goes gear 2 fit perfectly in the middle of being a long lasting eink watch (pebble) with very little things and the android wear that has the "ok google" thing and always on display but last at max 2 days). my experience with gear 2 has been 5 days of use and i am very happy with it.

I see it as something of a conversation starter among friends and keeps my phone in the pocket to experience the real world more.

here are examples of some apps you might like,

[Samsung Gear 2] jeromepearce:
I agree with Wear, but it is still great for me!

I love my Gear 2. I do agree that Wear is probably better in many ways, and I may go for a Wear next time, but this is far from useless. I use it for:

Shows my next appointment when I look at the time - this is the most used and useful of all IMO.

Notifications of email and SMS

Possible reply to SMS (rare)

Control of media (often, and it avoids the need to take the phone out or keep it out when travelling)

Locking my phone if I leave or lose it

Finding my phone or watch when I lose them

To Do list (not that useful, sometimes as a short shopping list)

Voice memo - great to record fleeting ideas

Remote for TV in case I lose it

Turning off TVs in public (without being obvious) - I love that!

Simple Italian phrases with sound - a quick and easy reminder

answering the phone without getting the phone out and missing the call (all too often)

answering my phone from the pool - I love being able to do that!

I have tried a lot of other apps, all sorts of games and drawing/writing apps, but the screen is too small. I use the camera occasionally, but not for much. I like it for what it is and am more than happy with it. Battery life is amazing, too. I get the feeling that some people just expect too much from smart watches.
[Samsung Gear 2] LuiFranco:
My first post here, and I'd like to express some frustrations with the Gear 2 as well. I got it as a xmas present from my wife and initially, I really liked it.

After a couple of updates though, it seems like Samsung has made this "smart" watch a bit less smart. I was once able to tell S-Voice not to "talk" after giving it a command, but now that's no longer an option and can only reduce the volume down to "1".

Instead of increasing the level of tweaks in the app, they've removed a lot of them (running it on an S5).

Every time there's a software update, some of the apps stop working and I have to re-install them.

Creating tasks on the watch works great, but I only get reminders on my phone.

Does anyone know if there are plans to continue developing the Gear app for this watch? It almost seems like they're abandoning it as far as I can tell.

OTOH, I realize these types of devices are still in their infancy, so I'm not expecting this to be perfect, but my point is that in the last four months that I've had this thing, it keeps getting less and less useful after every update!
[Samsung Gear 2] brittoking:
Unfortunately they moved to Android wear, and you're right in thinking they basically abandoned tizen development. My issue is that the three key "bonus" features for me were : speaker phone, ir remote, and camera and I can't find those things on any other device! Otherwise only looks seem to set apart the other watches
[Samsung Gear 2] ratcom:
I agree .... I loved my gear 2 with all its camera goodness but had to move onto wear when I changed to a nexus 6 :( still miss her even though I would change my nexus for anything .....
[Samsung Gear 2] adr14ng:
Since this update I got a 360 and honestly. Wear does notifications better. They have the whole thread of messages and it doesn't get mixed up no matter what client you use. I'll admit I miss the tizen battery life. But I will say both are giving me issues with fitness tracking, the fit app is incompatible with my s5 and s health is always a mess if you ask me.
[Samsung Gear 2] tommy1945:
I entirely agree with you.

I am happy that you wrote it.
[Samsung Gear 2] kadeve:
Worse thing i did with my life is probably buying this watch. After using it a few months I threw it away. Its sitting in its box. I bought a LG G Watch for 70€ (was on discount for 1 day) it has 5000 times more features you can use
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffnz:
"5000 times more features" bit of an exaggeration and purely your opinion, if that is the worse thing in your life then you must have a great one or sit at home doing nothing.

For the added advantages of android I saw none that made me want to change, major one was lack of camera.
[Samsung Gear 2] kadeve:
with all due respect jeffnz but I think you are an entry level user. Even the comparasion between Tizen and Android Wear is unfair. Tizen is stuck with poor SDK and HTML5 only support. If your user experience has been limited you wont see the difference because you are using the smartwatch just as a regular watch.

Android Wear has Tasker support and by using AutoApps you end up having infinite amount of features. But again I think you are an entry level user. I have a server and a raspberry pi that I use for my projects and home automation.

Just a few simple examples so you could maybe understand.

- When a video is played on computer lights go off, ambient light is set to match the video (ambilight) , Watch gets a Controller screen that has basic play/pause next fullscreen etc. buttons on low level brightness.

- When phone is charged , I get a notification and the smart wallplug cuts off the electricity that feeds the adapter. This is done by a raspberry pi with 433Mhz Receiver/transmitter kit ( which allows me control wall plugs individually)

check youtube for AutoWear app and you will understand better what you are missing.

I am an mechanical engineer, electrical engineer and a programmer. I am trying to make use of my skills at home as well as my professional life. Yeah android wear cant take a goddamn photo but I can give chain voice commands to start the freaking oven downstairs meanwhile the amblight is in disco mode...
[Samsung Gear 2] jeffnz:
Thanks for telling me all about yourself but isn't necessary as I stand by what I said it is purely your opinion and to you it may be 5000 times better in your mind but to most a gross exaggeration.

Also please don't try and guess what i am as you do not know me and it is clouding your judgement ven if you prefix your post with "all due respect" which is usually the opposite.

oh and I know tasker but just because you cuan run on Android wear doesn't mean it is a great reason to dis Tizen, once again that is the way you use your watch not all will do that. One size does not fit all

some things more to the script

original is from here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/mod-extsd2internalsd-v8increase-data-t1772234

i only changed the name of the external card..now this maches m8 external card.....the only thing that not work ..it still shows the old partition space...but the script work...if you make a photo for example it store now in the external sd card instead of the internal...also if you look on how to test the script in original thread..you will see it work...

anyway...maybe someone can have a look to the script to get last things done...will attach it here...

also for the future...i like to have the whole data mounted to the sd...if anyone can help or have ideas...let me know :)

thx :)
[One (M8) Android Development] ulixess:
Very nice storage script, it reminds me of the old Desire days :D

BTW was using your odexed Alex-V Rom for ages on my Desire, now I am very glad to test your rom again. :)

Will report tomorrow! :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah..the good old times...but still nothing new...lol..its a kinda strange that most things even...if a big game downloading data it will go to internal sd...which not have much space...it makes no sense..actual i use a 32gb sd...in future i want a 64 or 128 gb and want to have the whole data part (if possible) to external sd...if i have than the space of the internal free and can take this for music and other...

anyway thx for testing and using in the past and now :)

Storage/emulated/0 btw on pc internal...i included the latest super su i thought..as i had problems to update the binary from older version within the app..anyway if fail extract the super su.zip from the rom and flash it..
[One (M8) Android Development] phoenix2217:
Any way to swap that back? All my music is on my external, no space... =/

*Edit*

Root is broken as well. I even downloaded and flashed version 2.40 from his thread and no go. App freezes when either trying to give permissions or you try and open the app.
[One (M8) Android Development] info[]box1:
Already have the latest supersu.zip on sd card and flash after all of this 5.0 roms in general. Trust me nothing directed art this build or OP.
[One (M8) Android Development] aussie1234:

I am not following the concerns with this ROM.

Is it safe to flash or will I lose my SD card or Root if I do?

Thanks

Aussie
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
Is that script specifically for this ROM or all other versions of any ROM ? I'm actually interested as everything I download gets downloaded to internal sdcard,and not external. Is the script automatic ? Or does one need to run it as an automatic option (run at boot:script manager) ? I'm on a 4.4.4 ROM, so this script is the first time I've seen anything like it...
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Tested the script (the one that taken from your ROM.zip)

In a way ... it is a very good script as it mounts the whole external_sd as internal_sd. So the original internal_sd is basically not in use as storage by the system. But users can manually use the original internal_sd to store his files such as musics, movies & etc.

So to use this script, it is advisable on a clean flashed ROM.

I tested this script on my personal ROM. The whole external_sd now mounted as internal_sd. And the original internal_sd now mounted as intSdCard. So any app that rely on its data in internal_sd will fail. Simple solution is to move its data from intSdCard to newly mounted internal_sd.

Now .. I can understand your idea to have the whole data mounted to original internal_sd. And I believe the whole data already mounted to internal_sd. Reason is, in MTP the Internal storage now read the external_sd.

So... need to find a fix to show the right storage space instead of the old space storage .. then we can mount a bigger capacity sdcard as internal_sd ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Alex-V:
..Still works here..but will make a backup and try again

you will loose nothing..its only a other mounting on boot
[One (M8) Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah..good review..thats what i want to here..
[One (M8) Android Development] Alex-V:
for any rom..its automatic..

[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
[MENTION=1171895]Alex-V[/MENTION] I hope i'm not asking a stupid question here but with that script of yours, does that mean that if I install apps, the apps and they're data will go into my external SD card instead of the M8's internal storage?

Will you also mind posting some recommended kernel settings for the first time users?

I saw that I have to use the firmware posted, can I just use back sense firmware as I don't have s-off?
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
1. The apps and their data still go to data partition but their \Android\data\ and \Android\obb will go to external_sd instead of internal storage.

2. Kernel settings - Alex-V is the right person to advise as I don't use any custom kernel.

3. Not necessarily to use that particular firmware, you can use your 4.4.4 Sense firmware .. maybe yours is same as mine 3.32.707.9
[One (M8) Android Development] Bobbi lim:
Guess my SD card has to be fast and big for performance to be smooth? As for the kernel, i'm using stock at the moment. We do have the same firmware by the way ;)

Because of some changes to the kernel by updating to 3.0.101 - it seems that some patches affect battery life , I released today a new kernel based on kernel linux 3.0.8 - more battery friendly !

hi surdu_petru,

you write that set_immutable.list has to be removed before flashing your kernel..

well,

i have rooted my device (P7-L10 on B602) now by using the custom cwm recovery (with the newest SU 2.40)..it works in parts (in some threads it is declared as 99% working) - this i can confirm..

it is not possible to install busybox for the terminal emulator to delete the set_immutable.list file..

it is also not possible to edit build.prop or change the filenames etc (the rights for the file explorer are set correctly and of course it has root rights by SU)..

so, how can i get rid of this file?

thanks for a reply..
