Anything to do with root? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Now that there is root on this device is there anything we can do with it? Or is it just a novelty as of now. I know one thing that I'd like to see is no sound when taking pictures.

It opens a ton of possibilities, mainly sideloading apps, debugging better and just making the whole development cycle for apps / roms etc quicker and easier.

hopefully someone releases a ROM soon

Have you successfully side loaded any apps, is it enabled on your device?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You will need to enable non market apps

You have to enable sideloading. Search for it on youtube. There are a couple videos on how to do it. Or follow the above link. Att keeps us away from bring able to set the option to side load.

Yeah I know. You have to enable sideloading, or you can only use the apps from the market.

Do you need a virus scan for android?

Do you need a virus scan for the android hero and what is the best?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
no.
just be aware of apps you use and files opened.

This is why I ask.

That's a good question. As Android continues to grow, it will probably be required to have one since these smartphones are doing more and more.

+1 to this. The locate and alarm feature is great. Plus, it scans every app you install and backups all contacts and pictures. And free, too. I think Lookout would be your best bet.

Contact pics disappear in messaging app.

I have asked about this issue in a couple of ROM threads with no resolution.
Basically all of the contract pics disappear from the messaging app during messaging activity. Eventually they will come back. It's almost like the messaging app is trying to sync them.
I have screenshots but can't upload them here for some reason.

I am having the same problem. I just got the phone and haven't rooted or unlocked bootloader. Was debating on keeping the phone that's why I've not done it yet. Is there an alternate way to fix this issue?

The above method is the only way I've seen. It did fix the issue though.

The last time I went to XDA through an app I used Tapatalk instead of XDA because I already use Tapatalk for all the other forums. I did buy the XDA app to support XDA, I just don't like keeping so many different apps all for forums. I found that the Tapatalk app doesn't crash when I browse on it, if you wanted to try that?
i've noticed that it crashes when you are giving to many inputs i.e. tapping too much. If you avoid this, the app works well.
There is also an issue of tap detection. when i try to reply to someone i have to tap on the post below the one desired. :/ but it doesnt crash the app... so thats a plus right?

Appreciate it. Yeah, I've never quite gotten used to Facebook, still keep forums I've been on for years.... Tapatalk is a really nice way to organize them all. The only thing that drives me nuts is that when you go to download a file off of a forum it opens a browser which kind of disrupts the flow, but I think XDA app did the same thing. That would be a tremendously useful thing for the XDA app to do is manage XDA downloads, but for all I know it does that now, I haven't used the XDA app in awhile. These ATT ROMs are around a gig sometime... Hell to download on a mobile phone just because so many things seem to be able to break the download. And the download managers seem to hiccup sometimes with the site that are primarily used for hosting, don't know why.
I bought the xda premium app a couple years ago to show my support. But it does suck on this phone. Doesn't show pictures corectly. The search function is not very helpful. When I open it if it's been in the the background for a while it won't connect to the server to refresh. I have to close it and open it again. Also when leaving the app the animation lags really bad. I always thought it ironic that the XDA app was so buggy lol
**side note- I don't know the first thing about making apps or how hard they are to debug and make run smoothly on all devices. So I'm not hating. Just throwing it out there...
