I'm just looking for some advice about some good Note 3 ROMS (Canada) that will work well with the Galaxy Gear (such as native Bluetooth tethering). I also want to keep the Note and SPEN functionality. Thought it would be good to put this here to see what you guys and girls are using that works well with your Gear.

Darthstalker v4 and Dragonsair both are working well for me and meet what you are looking for. Dragonsair does not support the Samsung Apps Store though since it is an International ROM. I had to push the Gear Manager app to my phone manually.
I suggest making a CWM package of the gear needed files.
That way no matter what rom I flash, I flash my gear package afterwards and I know its compatible with it. Very easy.
i have been given a gear watch but i have an iPhone, is there any way i can activate it without a Samsung phone to just use as a watch
thanks
You're very limited with an iPhone.
Check out what others are doing with their gear and their iPhones in this thread.

Hi all!
I am creating this thread so that we can investigate the possibility of the iPhone & Gear 1(Tizen OS) cooperation.
My observations regarding what works, so far:
1) Basic BT handsfree functionality (which means you can actually talk over the Gear)
2) Caller ID
Let me clarify that the iPhone was a 5S not jailbroken and i did not have the time to perform extensive testing.
I will soon have my iPhone 5 back from the service point and get back.
The interesting result is that Tizen OS offers Caller ID info on the iPhone, whereas the Android OS did not.
Please feel free to contribute to this thread with your own test, results, conclusions.

What he means is that syncing your Gear to your iPhone via bluetooth, when you receive an incoming call
only see is the phone number. Not the name attached to it in your contacts on the iphone. Hope this clears
it up for you.

I mean. That when the Gear run Android and was connected to the iPhone, Caller ID was not working, it has to do with the BT profiles the Gear is supporting with the Tizen OD vs what it supported with Android OS,
@Accounti my man maybe you should try to see if you can make the iPhine and the Tizen Gear talk to each other via BT. Some things are definitely changed.
Done some extensive testing with a jailbroken iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) with btnotificationenabler cydia tweak installed.
Nothing new noted.
It seems that the iPhone thinks that the Gear is a handsfree device (so only handsfree BT profile is engaged).
I would appreciate any help, ideas, suggestions.
Thank you!

Just purchased gear as a fitness wearable and music player
Working with my iPhone 5s non jailbreak perfectly apart from noticifcations
Hands free works perfect, activating siri on the phone then makes the sound and therefore the interaction come through the Gear
Pretty cool, so I'm planning on jailbreaking to see if there's a siri tweak/HotWord to enable me to activate without actually touching the iPhone
The BTnotifier cydia tweak you've tried, is there any form of notification coming through?
I know on my Pebble watch, is does state that you need to have Banners enabled on the iPhone for the notifications to show on the watch
I'm keen to get this to work too and there MUST be a way lol

Dude, i have done some extensive testing.
BTnotification enabler does not seem to offer anything.
The iPhone sees the Gear as a handsfree device.
In my case there is also caller id, but here is why:
Before connecting the Gear with the iPhone i had paired it to an HTC One and my addressbook was synched over to the watch.
Thing is, the Gear cannot grab the notofications even though the btnotificationenabler tweak exposes them over BT.
Only solution is to downgrade the Gear to Android and use the cloudnotifier tweak @Accounti has created but in that case:
1) There is no direct BT connection.
2) The Caller ID is not working.
3) Battery life and overall responsiveness of the watch are not quite as good as when on Tizen.
Long story short: Wait for the iWatch.

How did you get the Gear to bypass the screen asking to connect to Galaxy Gear Manager? I am very close to going back to Null_23 at this rate.

Actually i had an HTC One nearby and there is a way to initiate the watch with an Android phone even though it is not Samsung. If you don't have access to an Android phone you cannot do anything.

Honestly....I went into my local phone shop, found a samsung test device, clicked the gear manager to connect to the gear and walked out again
As soon as it's activated, you're away!!
Gear App
It seem like Apple fan boy need so much time waiting for iWatch, noted that till now Galaxy Gear family was the best , I had upgrade my gear from Android to Tizen and a lot of Gear2 App we get. All of gear2 app. Interesting:laugh:
But beware of App that drained your battery fast.

Not fussed about an iWatch
I wanted a fitness wearable that could hold it's own music. The fact that it connects to my iPhone with the calls.siri, reads out sat nag directions through the watch speaker.....all a bonus
Added to which it cost me just £35!
Result-happy !!

Remove the setup wizard while flashing the rom in aroma, under samsung applications, select custom & then de-select "setup wizard" on the next screen.

Right, I understand how to do this for Null, I'm talking about finding a way to bypass on Tizen. Thanks for the suggestion though.
So my dad is thinking about taking my S6 Edge over for me - however I am not sure how to get his Galaxy Gear to sync up with it. Can anyone please let me know what to download to get it to run? I believe it's still running Android.
Hey. He may have to update the Gear to Tizen then just use the Galaxy Apps to download the Gear Manager. That's what I did and all is running smooth.

Interesting! I tried to pair it this morning and it looked like it would work as is - (didn't pair because it would erase watch to factory settings). He swore up and down that it wouldn't work with anything newer than his S4.
Appreciate it!
hey everyone, Just received a samsung galaxy gear smart watch and understand they are not naturally compatible but if anyone knows a work around to get most features to work. I like the style of it being just a plain watch but would love to use it to its fullest. Thanks for any help I get.
Someone has to know something. Still have yet to get gear manager to even install. Every single link on this forum crashes when I open it.
how about NULL?
