How to use Gear with NON-Android phones - Samsung Galaxy Gear

hi, is there any ways that i can use MY Galaxy Gear With my iphone?
i can use it for phone calls by bluetooth connections.
But i would like to have the OPTION to adjust the time and date.
Because there is no GEAR MANAGER APP for iphone.

According to my knowledge , There is no solution to connect Gear to non android phones.

Im interested in this too as switching from s5 to iphone. Can the note tablets run gear manager?

Yes they can. As I don't have a Samsung phone, I'm using my Samsung Tab S in conjunction with the Samsung Gear.

Tutorial for developing for gear

Anyone know of any tutorials or how-to guide for.developing a simple app for the gear?
I know how.to build an android app for smartphone device but not sure where to start watching the gear.

If you know how to make an app for a smartphone you know how to make one for the gear.
The only real difference is the screen size, else it's pretty straight forward.

So after I make a simple hello world app, how do push it to the gear?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I push apps using adb install.

Yes, ADB it is.
I have mine in the cradle connected to the computer and debugs my apps just as when I´m developing for regular devices.
Thanks guys, I get it now. I thought the apps were different for gear.

Only different in how it communicates with host device (phone through gear manager)

Ok, how about developing my own watch face app. similar to "neon : digital watch"? Just a basic watch face. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to get started?
I tried decompiling neon:digital watch but i didn't find much code and xml files weren't really readable.
After googling all i can find is "to use watchstyler".
I would like to build a basic app to learn how the watch face is setup.
i guess this is why i can't find any information on this
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57609639-94/this-is-why-there-arent-more-samsung-galaxy-gear-apps/
says the app store is invite only so i guess their documentation is not public...
I know that the SDK for the gear 2 came out, no updated news about the original gear?
Can we develop apps running on gear with Internet access?

Rooted Samsung Galaxy Gear Notifications

Thinking about rooting my samsung galaxy gear, but wanted to know if I plan to root it and flash a custom rom will I still be able to receive notifications? Ive been told if you flash a rom you will not be able to receive notifications because you will no longer be able to add gear manager. Someone please give me your input

not true - got mine rooted and running null - getting notifications - on top of that, if you use atooma you can make your gear smarter. I have it setup so i get notification whenever i get an email, when there is rain forecasted in the weather (i bike to work) and many other things

You need gear manager for phone to communicate fully with watch. Otherwise it's just a fancy Bluetooth headset

Galaxy Gear working w Note running AOSP?

Has anybody tried getting the galaxy gear working with the Note 3 running a custom AOSP ROM?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Any rom/phone can have limited connection. You need touchwiz for afl the bells and whistles

Cool.... I know that stuff like s voice won't work.... But I don't care for it.... So thank you for your input :thumbup::thumbup:
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
If you don't have touchwiz the native notifications won't work either.
Before I got my Nexus 5, which is paired now, I used AOSP on my Note 2. It was limited, as previously stated, but worked well enough for me.

[Q] Music

I read that the Gear 2 can store music on it. Can our Gear 1s store music despite not using Tizen yet?

Does it require rooting or will it work like a standard Android Directory?

I rooted mine as soon as I got it so I'm not sure. I recommend rooting and flashing null v23 rom mate, its a big improvement over stock.

Just side load a music player and transfer side music. Only holds 4gb
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Sideload the Apollo player, as it works great, and without any rooting needed. It does not (yet) allow playing to a bluetooth headset, only the watch speaker, but we can hope they add this function, as the Gear 1 does bluetooth, so why not?
I would prefer a bluetooth headset lol, but thanks anyways.

Where to download vr manager?

Hey, I have a tmobile note 4 and am waiting to my gear vr in the mail. Read that I can download software before hand but can't seem to find it. Any direction would be great.

A lot of it is already "pre-downloaded" on the card you will receive inside the gearvr package. If you have a larger card you use you can just copy it via your pc or cloud intermediary.
Cool. Do you know if I can set up an oculus account. Or do I have to wait as well.

Yep, just visit their website and register. This will also give you a forum acc.
thanks. I ended up finding a good portion of the software down in the gear vr Canadian thread and it worked great.

If your really excited and just can't wait you could initiate the gear vr setup process which will have you login and get you the oculus store app. From which you could start downloading apps, games etc so your ready when it arrives. To do this from let's say TouchWiz you can download the app quickshortcutmaker and find the gear vr setup or stub, sorry it's been awhile, then just execute the shortcut and the process will begin.
