Full settings on stock - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hello xda friends. I have a rooted galaxy gear running stock rom. I was wondering if anyone found a way to get full Android setting without going null_. Would love the option to get into keyboard settings and also figure out why it won't let me install local apks even tho in my gear manager it says it allows third party apps. Thanks all!

hi ,
first of all ,in your Gear manager on phone have you enabled "unknown souces " ?( Gear manager/settings /unknow souces... )
i install 3rd party apps ( sideloading ) either using wondershare ( from pc ..connected to watch ) or es file explorer that i have installed on watch i have Google keyboard installed ( after a reboot to work )and can go into keyboard settings when i open my "apps " section on gear and select The relevant app..."Google keyboard " )
i have stock rom not rooted ?? Maybe its something you are not checking or doing that you cannot get it to work ??

All that works with null, which is stock plus extras. So, yes, it someone did figure it out

I'd like to know how to get the "full" settings area using null rom, when using the stock ui. For example if I want to look at the voltage instead of swipe, swipe, settings I have to do apps->find nova->apps->find settings->do my thing->back to apps->find touchwiz->irritating.
Is it possible to add icons to the apps area of stock for apps that show in Nova but not in Stock ui? Then I could add an icon for the full settings.

Yes I have checked to accept 3rd party apps in gear manager but when I go to install and apk it still tells me on the gear that I can't do unknown app sources. I can sideload fine but I prefer the Bluetooth from phone to gear idea. I'm not going to pay $40 for wondershare when the trial is up. Lol.
And as far as using null_ goes, I am waiting to see if I can figure out how to bt tether with att S3 before I go full null_

Edit: finally just decided to go full null. But do you guys know how to sign into an existing google account? I'm sure it's on the forums somewhere but I just don't know where.

Touchwiz does have access to settings though
Something in sick apk installer is broken, hence unable to install apps
You can't sign into Google account without internet access

If you don't mind losing setting on the gear you can wipe the gear and start from scratch...
1: Press and hold the power button until it shows:
"Samsung Galaxy Gear
Rebooting..."
2: While on that screen, press the power button 5 times
3: this should bring you to to a menu. cycle through the options and select recovery
4: to choose, press the button for 3 seconds.
5: Wait for it to wipe...
6: Once done, set it up as a new device!
Hopefully that fixes it!
EDIT: When (or if) it asks to restore from a backup, select NO!
I am using a third party app by the same dev that does the K9 email call Melwin, I get a notification of the email with the header but I cant read the email, is it possible to do this with the Gear?? I have the latest Mk7 Null 10.1 and the latest Gear manager app as well. Thanks

Unfortunately that isn't something that is wrong with the gear, it is just the way the Gear Manager formats the notification to be displayed on the gear. There is always the possibility of getting that email app on the gear itself, however!
Make this a sticky please!

Well, the Null ROM is pre-rooted... All I can think is try running a root verification app to see if it is truly rootedand Root Browser is misbehaving, or if it is unrooted for some reason...

As long as you follow the Null rom instructions from the page one of the ROM thread - it should be no obstacles. Please read carefully.
Please be aware that in most cases US providers block BT tethering, so for internet access please check it on your phone first.

If you want to keep it stock, download the ROM from here!
It is for Britain, but it works for the USA as well!
What should we be using on installing apps to the gear? Should I keep using WonderShare?
no Bluetooth tethering option on watch
No option in settings<Bluetooth<settings. My only options are rename and unpair. Where is my tethering option?

Ahh, US phones seem to have this issue... Make sure you go into the "more settings" right under the bluetooth and wifi switches select tethering and hotspot and check off Bluetooth tethering. If not, it is a limitation put in place by AT&T. The only thing that would help is a new ROM...or a mod of some sort.

Couple of questions
Just have 3 questions. Is there anyway to increase the in call volume of the Gear? I have it turned all the way up to 6 and its barely audible on a call. I know the little speaker is capable because on youtube clips this thing is crazy loud.
Second question. I have looked everywhere for the 1.5 version of gear manager. I checked the sigs and I still cant find it. Can you post a link to the apk?
Third and last question. How do you toggle the touchwiz and nova launcher?

Great Rom!

Bluetooth tethering with no root

Hello friends.
I've a Galaxy Gear with no root.
I've installed browser, but it's impossible to go on internet.
It's possible to enable bluetooth tethering on my last stock firmware?
Thanks in advance at all.
Noblesse oblige
Depends. You can use PDA net and brows the web, but if you are on a US/Canadian carrier other than Verizon, the native tethering is not an option, so you are extremely limited. If on T-Mobile, you can flash on of the international roms on your phone. Staying stock will not get you all the things that are possible using a custom rom like _null for your gear.

I had the same issue , I downloaded Easy tether pro on my phone "No root needed". I then enabled MTP on my Galaxy Gear and transferred the APK for Easy tether for tablet on my gear . The 2 apps connect phone to Gear , Viola internet on your Galaxy Gear . Almost forgot . You'll need ES file explorer to look up the app and install on you GEAR .

[Q] Notifications for Nexus 5 / Non Samsung Devices and Gear Manager.

So now most of us have got gear manager running on the Nexus 5 / Non Samsung Devices. Has anyone had any success getting the notifications to work? I have notifications on and more notifications on but using the stock notifications app for the Gear, finds no notifications. I also ran a logcat to see if any errors come up when sending notifications like a SMS / skype message through and could not find any errors..
Maybe offer a bounty to get "stock notifications" from Gear Manager?

I was stuck in the same situation... only difference I am running a Note 2 with cm11.
I figured out that the version of Gear Manager I had was too old and was my problem. After removing all traces of the older version and updating to 1.5.120903 I was able to successfully pair my devices together and I was then able to get into settings to enable USB debugging and continue the process of installing this fine ROM.
The only thing I am still unable to get working is notifications.
Anyone pair iphone with the gear?
There should be a step by step guide to get gear manager to work with Nexus 5. I installed gear manager stub and gear manager and still stuck at the setup connect.

My NEXUS5 with KITKAT 4.4.2 and GEAR(null_17 ROM)
hi to all, i want to share my experience (sorry for my english, i'm italian)
i have Nexus 5 phone and galaxy Gear(null_17 ROM).
Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2
Galaxy Gear with V700XXUAMK7 with NULL_17 ROM
and watchstyler 1.0.9 (working) with Casio Skin :good:
At first i installed gearmanagerstub.apk
after i just bring "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk" and renamed to "gear manager 1.6 111801.zip"
opened and bring all file in the folder "preinstalledapk"
and run all one by one excepted for "samusic" and "saweather" because fail to installing(but is ok).
after all manual apk installed also installed "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk"
and opened gear manager and start the gear and pairing it. (2 or 3 time but making same test and check and at final running)
if you come from old pairing with other gear manager version example 1.5 or 1.4 etc... just from your sdcard delete the folder ".BManager_backup"
for fix the notification i also installed ATNmanager 1.2.2.apk on the phone, and in the gear i already sended the version of "ATNmanager 1.2.3.1_pre"(only the watch.apk file inside) and i receive all notify on gear by this apps and working fine.
remeber to go in setting->security->allow ATNmanager to read notification
up to now

Sideload any app/file to Galaxy Gear (no cables, no computer, no ADB, no MobileGo)

This is something that I ran across while reading sometime ago, so I take no credit for it, I just thought I'd pass it along to help others. Basically all you need to do is use a file manager/explorer on your Note 3 (I use "My Files" most of the time) and long press on the file/app that you want to send to your Galaxy Gear and then hit the "share" button at the top of your screen. Then select "Bluetooth", and then choose the Galaxy Gear. After that, just hit "accept" on the Gear and that's it...nothing else is needed. It may take a few minutes just because bluetooth file transferring isn't extremely fast, but it works, and without having to enter commands in terminal/ADB, without any cables, without MobileGo which is a trial version (or cost $40), and you don't even need the Galaxy Gear's cradle (that you probably left at home like I did).
Once the file/app has transferred over, just use a file manager on your gear to maneuver to the "SDcard/Bluetooth" directory where your files will be waiting on the Gear. Then you can simply double click to install them or just move them where ever you want. My Gear already had a file manager on it after I installed the custom rom Null 18. Otherwise, getting that file manager app onto the Gear may be your biggest (also last) challenge as far as sideloading apps goes. I rooted, and then flashed the Null 18 rom first to save time, but now sideloading is a piece of cake.
I also took this method to the next level since I am also rooted as I mentioned. What I mean by that, is with Root Explorer you can navigate to the System/apps directory (which is normally hidden if not rooted and using something like RE to access it). Once there, you'll find that this is the directory where your installed apps are stored. Now you can use the same method mentioned above to pull apps that you may not have had the .apk files for. So in essence you are "ripping" the apps right from your Note 3 straight to your Gear! This gives you the ability to try and install/run ANY Android app (even those that are said NOT to be compatible with the Gear) because a lot of them will still run. Google Search/Google Now/Voice Search is GREAT on the Gear, and so are many others. NOW this device is really kickin! Enjoy.
Sweet...many thanks ..

Very cool, thanks. Simple and effective. I like the part about testing Android apps from your phone / tablet to see how they work on the Gear.
Hmm weird. ..I tried this with two different file mangers and when I scan for nearby devices to share with nothing comes up. Neither my note or gear are rooted so maybe this only works with null?

I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted on the Gear for this. I tried to do that when I went back to stock and was pretty mad that it wouldn't work. One more reason I was Null back.
But my Not3 is not rooted and na3 and na6 will not let me keep any sideloaded apps. So I am not going to get null back until this is fixed. I even went down to the first gear manager and it still doesn't work. Only mk7 with any gear manager allows me to keep my apps/put them on my home screen.
Works for me on a stock Note II!

No need for root. Just use My Backup app on your phone. Saved apk is usually in sdcard/rerware

problems loading some apps from samsung app store

So I just got my neo and am trying to load some apps on to it. I can load some such as the flashlight app and pacman but I wanted to add an rss reader like appy geek or feedly. Sadly, they say they install and then when I go to gear manager and look on the list, it's not there and I receive a notification that the install failed. I had to go to settings=>apps and remove the appy geek for gear app that way and the same for feedly. I have the apps installed on my phone and am running a GS4 with 4.4.2 and the latest Samsung apps from their website. Is anyone else having issues similar to these or know of a work around?
Thanks!
I'm having this issue as well. Anyone have an answer?

I am having a similar problem.
A friend used my phone to install an app from the samsung store. Now when I want to install the app it says view in gear manager instead of giving me the option to install on my gear 2. There seems to be no way to make the samsung store think it is uninstalled. I have fully reset my gear 2, phone, deleted my samsung account and made a new one, no change at all.
Super annoying. 5$ to anyone with a fix.
