[Q] Compatibility with S4 Google Edition KitKat ROM - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I have an S4 and when I flashed the Infamous GE 4.4.2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341936), I was not able to get most of the GearManager apps to work like:
-Text SMS Notifications
-Samsung Apps Appstore install
-SVoice
These did work though:
-Video/Camera Pictures
-Answer/Reject Calls
So I went back to a Stock Rooted 4.3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545711) and everything worked.
Does anyone know how to get everything working on a custom KitKat ROM? Do you just need to install all the samsung gear apps/services on the custom ROM?

You need Touchwiz for everything to work

Does TouchWiz have to be default, or just installed?

Oh. Is that what that's for? I just thought that was a welcome screen when I opened my interwebz explorerz.

[Q] Regarding the CM10

Hi there, I wanna know the differences between the TW & CM.
I also want to know if I switch to CM, will be there specif apps(APKs) that can be installed on it ? Will I be able for example to push samsung apps to CM? or only samsung apps will be the apps that won't work on CM? and what am I gonna lose/win when I switch to CM?
Thanks in advance.
TW stands for touchwizz by samsug
now if you switch to Cyanogenmod(CM) apps bases on TW will not work like s-note
every other app will work fine

Swype does not come with CM, and it is not available in play store, only as a proprietary app, meaning it is only available pre-installed. You can however find copies of Swype here on XDA (use search).
Also, matemathic recognition is not available in any other note app than S-note as far as i know.

No notifications on Sprint S4 on 4.3 Please Help

I couldn't wait to get my hands on a 4.3 S4 rom so I could have fully functioning Galaxy Gear. I am currently running Sacs 4.3 v3. I am currently not receiving any notifications. I have read and searched many threads and forums. I have lock screen on so that is not an issue. I have all the notifications turned on under settings in Gear manager. I have factory reset my Gear multiple times. I have completely uninstalled gear manager and reinstalled. None of the changes have done anything for me and I am frankly getting irritated. On Sac v8 4.2 i was getting gmail and facebook alerts but even those are not functioning now. I was able to go into Samsung apps and download the latest version of Gear manager so at least the Samsung app store is recognizing 4.3. In short I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my Gear, the rom, or more than likely my self!!!!! The only thing I can think of is that one of the tweaks to the rom may have broken the passing of notifications to my Galaxy Gear. My next step Will be to install a stock rooted rom and see if that works, but haven't had the time and really really don't want to go with out Sacs Rom. Is there anything that needs to be left alone in a rom in-order to keep Gear function? Any help would be grateful.
Thanks.
I posted a message for sacs with this thread. Hopefully he will look into it.

Thanks.....I have been in contact with Sacs, he doesn't have a Gear for testing (wish I could just buy him one LOL), and I know he is so busy hate to bother him. I was hoping some one else that has a Gear and does rom development might be able to shed some light as to what may need to be added removed or left alone in order to have Gear compatibility in a rom. Again Im not even sure it is the rom. I will try to install stock this afternoon and see if that fixes things for me. This way I will know if it is the rom or something else.

Let me know if stock works. I too was waiting for 4.3. It was the only thing holding me back from buying it. I will wait to see.

I'm running Sacs 4.3 v3 on Sprint GS4, notifications work fine on my Gear. Have you tried complete wipe and reflashing 4.3? Just about to load v3.1, I'll let you know how that goes.

Okay I'm running Sac's 4.3 v3.1, with Gear Manager v1.4.102802 and Gear ROM ver. V700XXUAMII.
Tested these notifications and they work as expected:
-Incoming calls
-Missed call
-SMS
-Gmail
-Hangouts
Although I do disable these and use ATN Manager for the detailed Hangout and Gmail messages.

Great I will do a clean install and see what I can figure out......like I said I knew it was probably me. Does the weather work on yours?
Ok reinstalled sacs 4.3 v3 from scratch and installed samsung apps, then gear manager before restoring anything. Everything on the Gear works perfect.......so I deceided to test and see if it was the kernel. I installed KT's kernel and gear is still working. So in short I must be stupid because I am not sure what I did last time when I installed sacs 4.3. The only thing left to try is to reinstall my apps and see if that breaks the notifications. I will let you know how it goes.......Thanks for all your help.

Glad you got it figured out. When all else fails... just wipe and reinstall from scratch.

Problem after Loading ML1 Firmware

I am a little confused. I loaded the new ML1 firmware with success. However when I installed novaluancher prime APK and run the launcher I cannot install any of the widgets whether they be clocks or whatever. When I was running the MK7 firmware I did not have any such problem. Is there something that I am doing wrong. I did not upgrade my Gear Manager firmware as I remain on 1.5.123002
Did you install as a system app?

Brendo, In Wondershare I loaded it under the APP category. I do not know if that is a system area or not. I just added it to the rest of the listed apps. Was that not correct. Everytime I try to now load a widget it says Nova Launcher has stopped

hi
if you are not rooted/custom rom..and on stock rom ML1/GM 1.5 ( like i am )
and you load NOVA (@ wondershare )...
Nova , will install ,but you will not be able to access/place any widgets on gear
and yes even if you tried you will get "Nova " force closing..
ask me i tested it a while back to see what happens ..!! !!
also some other functions of Nova will most likely work ,thats it.!!
(if you are on custom rom// or root ... yes ..different story?)
good luck

Have a search here. Probs find it using nova as keyword

Alright everyone I figured it out. I think before loading the new ML1 firmware I reset the watch to stock where it was no longer rooted and no longer had a custom null rom (I believe, remember I am new to this). Anyway, I went back and rooted the device all over after I reloaded the recovery. Then I loaded Null 18 and now my widgets and everything work with the Nova Launcher.
Thanks everyone for trying to assist me and I am on my way to another future mess up---trust me!!!

[Q] Leaked Android 5.0 Apps Help

Hey y'all
I found a link this morning for the new Android 5.0 leaked Google apps: http://http://phandroid.com/2014/10/20/check-out-the-new-messenger-google-play-music-and-more-leaked-android-5-0-lollipop/
I've simply installed the Messaging apk and it is working really well on my Rooted AT&T Note 3.
I attempted to install the new Gmail app, but I could not get it to work. I was getting FCs and had to jump back to the current Gmail.
Has anyone been able to get the Gmail apk to work?
UPDATE,
I've posted this in the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Q&A forum", and there are a handful of people that have the New Gmail apk running just fine on their devices (other carriers/ non-stock ROMs).
I'm thinking that maybe it has something to do with Stock Rooted Touchwiz...

I may be wrong on this but normally you would need to install the new market apk's in system first so that the market framework is correct.
make sure you backup first!

[Q] Galaxy Gear with Nexus 5 - Lollipop 5.0.1

Hi all,
I have problem with my Nexus 5 and Galaxy Gear not paired. I tried to download Gear Manager but after installing it is not working properly. Any ideas or solution?

I had to use the Sprocket app in the apps/themes forum to get notifications. I tried all the steps in other forums but none worked on lolliop and the sprocket app only allows SMS viewing/replying without the developer key. I havent paid for the key as i dont know if it works with the current version of the app.
