Hi,
have been reading here, as well as google search replies as to whether or not the build prop edit to apparently get more Tizen apps is still valid. Unfortunately most of the posts and responses are back from 2014. I've edited the build prop on my S4 so that it shows as an S5, but have not noticed any real big difference on available apps from the Gear app.
I may be doing it incorrectly, but when I check with the phone info app - it does show as an S5 ?
Can anyone confirm if more apps are available for the S5, and well, basically I am doing something wrong - or is it possible that the apps have now pretty much caught up on the S4
Thanks in advance for any replies / feedback offered
Regards,

Didn't see this here yet.... shoot me if it is.

If you wanted live out your Inspector Gadget fantasies, but lacked the Galaxy Note 3 needed to take full advantage of the possibilities, we've got good news. Samsung's bringing compatibility for its Galaxy Gear to the previously-mentioned Galaxy S 4 as well as the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II through an Android 4.3 update. While those are the big ones, the wearable will soon hook up to a whole swathe of Samsung devices (Galaxy S4 Mini, S4 Active, Mega 5.8, Mega 6.3, and Galaxy S4 Zoom) in an update arriving at the end of October. Naturally, the typical proviso for different release dates in different countries remains, but those flagship devices mentioned earlier will get the earliest access -- and will also be able to make and answer calls with the Gear, like a real inspector.

Hopefully sooner than later I can use my GNII with the Gear.
This is great.. hopefully I can get it to work finally. So far installing the .apk on my mega hasn't been successful. Always stuck in syncing.

You can use your Galaxy Note 2 with your GEAR via Android 4.3 as the following link for downloading rom : https://www.4shared.com/zip/CJdXMW_o...100XXEM16.html

Then you can use Note2 with GEAR,,
*** Wanna know your Note2 code is : N7100 ?? If yes, GO FOR IT. If not ... you have to wait.
I have been trying to hard to find a rom of 4.3 to use on my sprint s4 but the only one i find is real buggy with sms....anyone else have a sprint version s4 and found a rom.....
So to clarify: which device will get an update for Gear to work on it? Does the Gear or whatever device (S3, S4, etc) need the update for gear to work with it? I don't see that specific piece of info.
It was already posted. And we already knew that 4.3 rom = gear support (however supposedly that wasn't official if this is the official confirmation?!?)

This isn't quite new, but regardless: It only works with the international version.
Also, your post just reeks of bot/scam/annoying-ads
Hi all,
is there any official information whether s5 mini will get updated officially to lollipop?
I was not able to find anything solid, it seemed like s5 and notes will get it.
Should get it. Written on German Android page...

Seems like we will have to wait for march/april to see some progress

So it is official :good:

The (probably) wrong announcement by Three UK (in contrast to Three Ireland) that the S4 mini won't get an update to Lollipop because of memory restrictions (it has 1.5GB like the S5 mini) made me curious about the status of the S5 mini.
I found this page with the status of the rollouts for several Samsung devices:
http://samsung.youmobile.org/
So still no news for the S5 mini. It even seems that the S4 mini will get the update before (if it gets one at all).
Let's see if the sales figures of the S5 mini were good enough for an update or if Samsung will stall the development because of "memory limitations".

Q&A for [ROM] Android Wear for Galaxy Gear
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I´m in, just...

AWESOME!!!!!
Subscribed and promptly ready to test!

Ready to test, just if someone could tell me if there is any need for me to flash android before using this.
Very anxious to see what this new ROM would become and willing to test if possible/needed.
one beta tester from Spain
Eager.. eager..eager.. Let us flash something
Ok I subscribed to the other thread. What do I need to get started other than my watch lol
Not to be a spoil sport, but can we reduce the questions until OP has actually released something? This includes "please can I test it", "when's it going to be ready?" etc posts. It just clogs up the forums, cheers!
Im down for testing. even if there was a way to get android wear apps to work on tizen, that would be awesome
How to install?
Sorry, I'm using Google translation ...
I have a GEAR1 running NULL_ROM to install just download the image and install the twpr?
I saw the message that is not running, it refers to the version of 10/01 ???
I'm interested in running the Android Wear in GEAR1, I can help in any way?
Where do logs go?
Sorry for my possible noobness but where can I find logs while testing this rom and where would i post them?
I just subscribed and I wish you luck! I am on tien on my gear 1, but I will read through the thread and find how to downgrade and install the recovery this weekend. I don't know how much help I can be, but if I can get to the point of being able to test and post logs I will definitely do that. Thanks for working on this!
i've got an original gear with null rom 23 i believe .. if i can help in anyway, as long as it doesn't brick my gear let me know as i am eager to see wear working on this gen 1 gear.. i'm a relative n00b at this so testing/logging/dumping instructions would be helpful..
keep up the great work! Thanks!
still needing firmware?
I have an original Galaxy Gear with the original OS on it. I have never upgraded it and the current version shows:
V700XXUBNA6
If there is anything I can provide to help make Android Wear work on the device please let me know.
This will work with gear 2 Neo??
should i try this on my gear?
i have a galaxy gear 1 with null 23 rom and i can just flash tje file on my gear but my question is, will it work??
Stock images
I read in the ROM thread that you're looking for partition dumps. I've got a bone-stock Gear1 running Android. If you still need, I can provide the dd images.
Android wear for galaxy Gear
Im new here, but ive been following some threads for quite some time.
RE; Galaxy Gear, has anyone got notifications from iphone working on any of the ROMS?
been tinkering around - there are apps on the play store but they require 4.4, null (Great stuff), is 4.2.2 and i cant bypass the API level requirement. gonna try unpacking the APK and modifying minimum API level in build.gurdle then pushing the iphone notifier and the android wear widget components to the Null should work.
Also the android wear on a gear will breathe new life into Galaxy Gear's - the main problem is the chipset difference - exynos and Snapdragon. i think thats why it wasnt hard to port it to a gear2.
Any Tips?
I currently use my GG1 with my nokian N8, thanks Fomey
But the iphone notifications using ANCS has got me going mad, been trying to make it work since i got my hands on first gear, now i have a second and i have a gear fit.
I was ten minutes too late to grab a gear 2 at a good price.
I view this thread everyday hoping for android wear ported to our beloved gear quick noob
question could the gear 2 android wear port work on my gear 1 if I flashed it as I flashed the
tizen mod 3.0 for gear 2 on my gear 1 by mistake once and it booted up it was just the camera didn't work thinking is this the same thing or am I way off?
Thanks
What happens if I flash "Wearez-20150129-TEST-ls02.zip"?

So I was chatting with Samsung support and I decided to ask if themes will be able for the regular Galaxy S5? And they said yes... Here is an image of some of that chat script:
View attachment 3755984
Yes it's real not fake. I know some people have been wondering since a lower end Galaxy S5 (called Galaxy S5 neo) has themes if the regular Galaxy S5 will get them. As I know it's the Verizon Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) since that is the device I have and was in support with. But I can't wait for the marshmallow update and to try all the newer features like themes and Good Lock.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but most people have already received the MM update on their S5s, and there are no themes or good lock included
Apart from a few new icons, boot logo and some permissions settings, it is identical visually to Lollipop, no new features
I like to learn new things, and to figure things out. Lately that has been how to build and modify apps. Trying to learn how to make things I.e devices programs ect. do what they're not intended to do. If anyone has any advice for an FRP and a Samsung Galaxy S7 that can't go into developer mode I'd love to hear it. Tried everything I think. Also altering apps to their subscription version.
