I had my Note 3 long before I picked up my Gear, and as with all things, I made some adjustments to my Note 3 software experience to improve it for my use. This has had some undesirable effects on the Gear and I just want to list out what I have done and what effects it had on my Gear for awareness so those of you who plan to make changes to your Note will know what you're getting into.
I have made the following changes to my Note 3:
Rooted
Frozen all Knox apps/services
Frozen some other misc bloat
Nova Launcher set as default Launcher
S for Switch Voice installed (overrides S Voice with Google Now and gives you a Moto X - like Touchless control)
Dynamic notifications set as default lock screen
Adway blocking ads
Samsung TTS frozen (to fix the Accessibility bug for Pebble)
I usually don't modify my devices too heavily, but I really felt like my Note needed some of this and some features (such as Dynamic Notifications and S for Switch Voice) give me a Moto X type experience that I miss when using the Note. Below are the effects I have noticed this having on my Gear:
No voice feedback for S Voice on Gear (probably due to S for Switch Voice or Samsung TTS being disabled)
Notifications delay - Because of Dynamic Notifications, if my phone is face up out of my pocket, my watch will not receive a notification until the screen turns off. This is because the display is effectively on. This isn't a huge issue because if my phone is face up and I can see it, I'm not going to read the notification on my watch anyway. Most of the time, it's when it's in my pocket that I need the Gear to step in and in those cases, the notifications are instantaneous.
Occasional network errors when using S Voice - May be due to adblock (which I will not give up).
This is all I have really noticed so far. I will update this post if I discover anything else. I hope this helps anyone considering getting a gear and/or making any of these modifications on their Note 3. Happy Gearing.
I thanked your post for showing me that "S for Switch Voice" exists. Now, if we can just get a way to stream Google Now + Audio to the watch, we'd be golden.
Hello everyone,
I come to you file a new application we've developed.
Not a Novelty in the market. It is a simple Torch, that turn on or turns off the camera flash on the devices that have Led and for those who have not used the screen.
Something that most of the difference is having a widget from which we can turn on and off the LED. ONLY WORKS FOR DEVICES WITH FLASH AT THE REST DOESN'T WORKS, WHEN SHOWING A MESSAGE.
The application is available in Spanish, Catalan, English (U.S.), English (UK). In the future we will be adding more translations. If anyone wants to contribute any please contact by mail: [email protected]
Note that the application is free and especially no annoying advertisements.
The application allows the user to choose the type of use that best suits your needs. Some simple preferences are available. You can configure:
•The torch turns off when the display is suspended.
•Activate the button that gives you access to the full screen using it as a flashlight. This option also allows us to select 3 submenus, where we will select the amount of red, blue and green, to show background color. THIS OPTION IS THAT ACTIVE FOR DEVICES WHICH DO NOT HAVE LED.
•Don’t entre the Stand by display mode.
•And there are other preferences that are for donation, PRO version. Still in internal test mode.
The application works perfectly on many devices Nexus (Nexus 5, Nexus 4 Galaxy Nexus), is something that many others similar apps do not do.
It can be downloaded from Google Play Sotre in the following link:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fadad.linterna
I add some screenshots for you to see the design.
I hope you enjoy it and the link to download.

Forget about that thread (with respect to OP) look on eu Miui site. It provides latest software, rooted, with all languages you can dream of and even OTA since recently. Every thing is explained on it except if you only wanted xposed.
Update 30.11.2022
End of life and open source.
Due to lots of changes both in Android and in my life, I do not have the possibility to maintain / update the code any further, therefore I've decided to open source.
Code is accessible: https://github.com/borconi/obd2aa
I will like to thank all of those who supported this project.
App Requirement
Torque Pro
OBD2 Reader
Android Auto compatible headunit or at least a copy of the Headunit Reloaded App (see signature).
This app will have limited functionality if you are using Android Auto on a your phone, the only functions you will be able to use is to see are notification about the speed cameras and street card!
Gauges and torque data will NOT work!
Previous XDA purchases can be reclaimed here: https://www.b3itlabs.com/download.php
How to purchase:
Visit: https://www.b3itlabs.com/prod.php?id=2
Instructions on how to get it running:
Option 1 - Will work on any phone & car/headunit combination, however the following features won't: - AutoPlay Music, 6 Tap limit remover, DPI change
After installing the app from XDA Labs, sign up for beta testing here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/uk.co.boconi.emil.obd2aa and update the app
Once app is updated, make sure you disable auto-update in PlayStore then please uninstall it and reinstall it from XDA Labs.
With your screen unlocked, plug in the phone to the car, when prompted which app to use make sure you select "Android Auto"
Option 2 - Might NOT work on some device combination (for sure it won't work on Xiaomi phones), but if this method works all functions of the app are available
Install
Make sure you do not have any other 3rd party app Android Auto app installed.
Open the app and hopefully it will be quite self explanatory on how to set it up (choose colours, set gauge number, etc)
Open Android Auto (on the phone), go to About, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times, once you are a developer from the 3 dotted right corner menu select "Start Headunit Server" (ROOT users can skip this step!)
Close Android Auto
MAKE SURE YOUR SCREEN IS UNLOCKED and connect to the car, when prompted which app to use select "OBD2AA" and always (this needs to be done one time only) - If you are a HUR user select Android Auto and always! (If you do not see the prompt to chose, please go to settings -> apps -> all apps -> Google Play Services -> Clear Defaults and then try again)
Select the last tab on the right, by pressing it again you should see an app selector and choose OBD2AA
Give it a bit of time to start pulling the data from Torque.
Change log

Freeze issues fixes.
Important notes
Version 3.0 releases 05/07/2018
Compatibility fix for AA 3.0 and above.
Added option for overriding 6 tap limits
Added option for Bluetooth Audio output.
Important notes
Thanks to @slash_m_a_x for the support offered on this.
- Some users have reported choppy audio when using the app, this will mainly be due to the speed of the phone, the buffer on the car/headunit and other factors which are out of my control, if that is the case and you cannot use the app please feel free to contact me for a refund.
- Bluetooth Audio output might not work on all devices, it does depend how the car/headunit handles the Bluetooth. There will be devices which completely disable A2DP/Bluetooth capabilities of the car when Android Auto is running. In this case all the sound will be heard from the phone speaker rather then the car speakers.
- Tap limit will be disabled only for cars/headunits which are equipped with a GPS.
- In rare cases it can happen that after unplugging the phone from the headunit you will see a message which says that you are still connected to Android Auto, simply Force Stop the Google Play Services.
- You always need to make sure that Headunit Server is running on the phone (unless you have root), if the icon bothers you simply hide it.

TPMS Screen (if you have PID's for TPMS data)
Possibility to use custom background/needle for each gauge
Low Fuel warning
Warm Engine warning
Speed Camera Heads Up Warning
Option to Overwrite Headlights state based on calculated sunset/sunrise
How to use it?
Open app and select each PID you want to display on your screen, adjust the number or gauges you want to see adjust the preference for each PID. If you want to use custom background/needle and interested on how to, please read HERE
Locking Pid values
On some PID's Torque reports wrong min/max values, by default if while using the application a reported value is higher/lower than the initially reported range, the app will adjust the range to the new values. However in some cases this is not desired and you will like to specify manually what is the min and max value for the give PID. In this case, simple edit the minimum/maximum for the pid and they will become locked, meaning the app won't make any adjustments.
By editing, it means you have to change the min or max value, the lock is triggered by the first keypress on this input fields.
The lock will be automatically removed when you select a different PID for the same gauge.
Preferences menu
Alternative pulling - Only enable this option if you have difficulties getting gauges updated, it uses an old deprecated method of obtaining data so should not really be used.
Enable debugging - Only enable it if you have problems with the app and I requested you to collect a bug report, otherwise it will spam the logs for no reason.
Automatically start Torque on Android Auto - Nothing to explain here
Launch FartKontrol on start - launches a Danish Speed Camera app (useless outside Denmark)
Custom Background (any background you will like to use instead of the black color)
Demo - When enabled random data is generated for the PID's just to see how things will look (in case you do not have an OBD2 adapter), so don't enable it.
Pid Alarms section. You can set up a low level fuel warning (displayed as a heads up notification) and a notification when the engine is warmed up. There a several PID options for both of this, pretty self explanatory.
TPMS Settings
- You set up the 4 PID's for TPMS, this will be used to display the tyre pressure values on the TPMS screen inside Android Auto
Speed Camera
Show current street card - Displays information about current street (name and speed limit if know). This information is updated once in 5 seconds and at a minimum distance of 200 meters so it's not 100% accurate it's more for general information.
Enable speed camera warnings - This will enable the app to display speed camera warning when driving, like any app which does this it relies on a database, which means it does NOT guarantee that it will warn you of all the cameras, and it might also produce false warnings. All options are pretty self explanatory.
Export & Import
- Allows you to export your current app configuration file which can later be imported (grate way of saving time of re-doing everything) after a clean install or so. The format use for Export & Import is JSON so if you want you can manually edit/adjust the values. Please see following post for more details about the sturcture/value/meanings
Permissions
Read notification permission - Only required so the app can read the notifications from CamSam and display them on AA scren
Locations - Only required if you want the app to overwrite the day/night theme based on sunset/sunrise
Storage - Only needed if you want to use your personal image as a background and/or planning to import/export settings
Can I create my own layout for the gauges?
- Yes, see instructions below:
Here is an example of the XML structure required, once you created the XML please send it over by email to [email protected] and I will include it in the next build.
Code:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:tag="wrapper_layout">
<!-- Left column -->
<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|start"
android:tag="gauge_2"
/>
<!-- Middle column -->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:tag="gauge_1" />
<!-- right column -->
<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|end"
android:tag="gauge_3" />
</FrameLayout>
Important
Each view must contain a tag, which is formated like in the example, where the number corresponds to the Gauge number from the setting screen.
The layout which wraps everything together must have a tag called: wrapper_layout
You are free to use any Layout you want, except ScrollView.
How to produce bug report?
Step 1 you need to enabled debugging in OBD2AA app, then follow this instruction set:
2. Enabling Developer Mode
Open Settings > About phone.
Scroll down to the Build number.
Tap the Build number 7 times in quick succession until "You're now a developer" appears.
Return to the Settings menu and select Developer options.
At the top of the screen, make sure 'Developer options' is set to On (green).
Scroll down to Debugging and enable both USB debugging and Bug Report Shortcut on (green).
Tab on Logger buffer sizes: Default setting is 256K. Select 16M to help capture more information for debugging. Of note, it can affect the apps performance especially with lower spec phone, so change it back after you have finished submitting bug reports.
3. Capturing a Bug Report
It's very important to do this right after you experience the issue again, so your device can log at least one occurrence of the issue.
Hold the Power button down until the menu appears.
Select Take bug report. and wait for the device to capture the bug report.
Tap the 'Bug report captured' notification when it appears.
Share the bug report. (I recommend to email it to yourself.)
Download the bug report to your computer.
Send the bug report by email to [email protected]
I have decided to open up my software, meaning I have made the source code available on GitHub, but it's only available for personal use, and you are not allowed (under any form) to redistribute your own version of the app. You can download and compile it yourself if you wish to do so, and you can implement your own changes for your own personal use, but you cannot create clones of the software which you redistribute under your own name. Source can be found here: https://github.com/borconi/obd2aa.
Due to the fact that there are some irresponsible developers out there, who created video apps for moving cars, which was one of the main reasons Google blocked 3rd party apps, I won't be updating the code on github any more, to try to prevent those developers to use my technique to overcome the limits. If you are developing a 3rd party app and you will like to know more about how I have done this, you are always welcome to contact me. If your project is something useful, I will be more then happy to share things with you.
This does not mean it is now a free app and apk can be freely shared!
Amazing work Emil, this along with your (and ofcourse @mikereidis) Headunit Reloaded app is perfect for Android Auto on the cheap ,
Gotta subscribe to this thread! The possibility of custom PIDs would be of huge interest to me.
Seems like its stuck without any option to change on Kmph rather than mph for speed etc, its set to mph in torque

No. I have to try with a USB soundcard (which I use with my Odroid) but haven't got the chance yet, or I might just hook my himbox to the AUX in and use it that way. The built in mic is almost unusable especially over 30 MPH.
And first version of the app is live!
Bought, installed and looking good.
I've got the Prius PIDs plugin installed in Torque so I can see the data on my Prius C.
Only about half those PIDs are available to be selected, it looks like it's hitting the maximum number of allowed items in the "Select PID" list.
Great, could you please tell me, where I can find it?

The XDALabs app was a pain, I had to:
Install the XDA app from the Play Store
Log in
Install the XDALabs app it prompted me to install
Log in again
Then open Emil's link from the first post in the XDALabs app.
Ok, thank you. Any chance to have this in play store?
Hi.
Sorry for the pain caused by XDA labs, unfortunately Google play rejected the app submission so I cannot make it available trough that channel.
As for custom PIDs yes intending to support them in the future. Currently torque doesn't provide a method to expose them to 3rd parties so I need to speak with Torque developer if that is possible, alternatively I will need to fallback to manual PID configuration.
I will see if I can build a quick webpage to host/sell the app could potentially make it easier to get the app, but it will make it more difficult to keep it updated.

Understood, I had a feeling Google wasn't going to allow it.
One of the issues with XDA is that you can get there via the web but it's not obvious at all how to buy it from there.
Then you have to jump through hoops to get the right app.

It's already showing around half of the Prius custom PIDs, it's like the list just runs out of space for more items.

I'll send you a logging version at some point this weekend just to see if how much data Torque actually send over. For example it doesn't show any of my custom PIDs for KIA.
Thanks for this, it is awesome..
A magnificent add to the current great app.
Here is photo of my test
too low ISO 320.
My Observation:
1: I added in Gauge 2 : Volts(CM), then put "13.5" in W.Level 1, and 12 in W.Level 2, when I switch to ODB2AA it wont open and switch back to the current tab.
then I changed W.Level 1 to "13" and it works, so looks like it wont accept a decimal value!, don't know if its a bug or error from my side.
2: Each time I switch to the OBD2AA tab it takes 13s for the data to be pulled.
3: Just once "no data pulling", I had to unplug/plug usb to work.
suggestion:
* It would be good if there is a timeout option for the data pulling to stop, so no 13s delay when switch back and forth in that time, I don't know if it is applicable in AA.
Great job Emil.

Turn Your Galaxy S9 into a Google Pixel
Unless you own an Exynos model, there won't be much development on the custom ROM front for the Galaxy S9. But that doesn't mean you have to put up with all of the UI quirks from Samsung Experience (née TouchWiz). With a little work, you can give your S9 a stock Android makeover, even without root.
To be clear, you can't remove TouchWiz. It's baked in to the Galaxy S9's framework, so it's not as simple as installing a custom launcher like Nova or Action. But if you apply several mods in that same vein, you can actually get the Galaxy S9 to look and behave quite similarly to the Pixel 2. From the home screen to the Google Dialer and the Pixel's wallpapers, the following tips will all but turn your S9 into a Pixel.
Tip 1: Install the Pixel 2 Launcher
Installing the Pixel 2 launcher is the biggest step you can take in turning your S9 to a Pixel 2, as it replaces the TouchWiz home screen app with Google's. The launcher isn't available on the Play Store though, so you'll need to sideload the app. To do so, tap on the link below to download the Pixel Launcher APK, then open the file and press "Install" when prompted.
Download Launcher
Note: If you download the APK through Samsung Internet, you shouldn't have any issues. But if you use a different browser like Chrome, you may be prompted to grant the browser permission to install apps. If so, just tap "Settings" on the prompt, then enable the switch at the top of the next screen.
Press your home button after installing the launcher. A prompt should now appear on the bottom of the screen asking which launcher you'd like to use. Tap on "Pixel Launcher" and your home screen will now be almost identical to the one found on the Pixel 2.
Alternatively, you can set Pixel Launcher as your default by going to the Apps menu within Settings if no prompts appear. From there, select "Pixel Launcher," then tap on "Home screen" and choose "Pixel Launcher."
It's worth noting that the newest Pixel 2 Launcher has the added bonus of featuring a functional At a Glance widget, along with Google Now integration, adding tremendously to the Pixel experience while on your Galaxy S9. For more information on this ported version of the Pixel Launcher, check out the link below.
Tip 2: Get the Google Dialer
The Pixel's stock phone app isn't available on the Play Store and will also need to be sideloaded. You can get the newest patched version of the stock Pixel phone app by tapping on the following link, then launching the APK and pressing "Install."
Download Dialer
Once you've installed it, you'll now want to set Pixel's phone app as your default dialer, so head the Apps menu in Settings. Next, tap the three-dot menu icon and select "Default apps," then choose "Calling app." Finally, select "Phone" from the list, which uses a circular blue icon.
Now open the Google Phone app. You'll need to grant it a few permissions to allow the app to access your phone, contacts, and camera, so tap "Allow" when prompted. After granting it access, you'll now be able to make and receive calls through the Google Phone app. To learn more about your new dialer's features, check out our full guide below.
Tip 3: Get the Google Dialer
The Pixel 2 has another Google app called Android Messages to handle texting. While unimpressive at first glance, it features a clean Material Design interface and supports the new RCS Universal Profile for iMessage-like texting on T-Mobile and Sprint. Best of all, this app can be installed directly from the Google Play Store.
Download Android Messages - Play Store
To set the app as your default messenger, simply open Android Messages once you've installed it, then follow the setup prompts. Tap on "Yes" on the confirmation prompt that appears, then you're good to go.
You can also perform the same steps that were done with the calling app to make Android Messages your default app for texting. So if you want to go this route, follow the steps you took in Tip 2 to make the phone app a default. This time select "Messaging app" and choose Android Messages as your primary means of handling SMS messages.
Tip 4 Set Gboard as Your Default Keyboard
The Pixel's primary keyboard, Gboard, is one of the best keyboard apps available right now. This awesome app lets you perform Google searches, share GIFs, and much more — all from within your keyboard. If you're not already using Gboard, now is the perfect time to make the switch, so head over the Play Store or tap on the link below to install the app.
Download GBoard - Play Store
Now, open Gboard and follow the prompts. Tap on "Select Input Method" and choose the one labeled "Gboard" to make it your default keyboard. Finish up by giving it permission to access your contacts by tapping "Allow" on the prompt, then exit the app. After you're done, Gboard will now pop up automatically whenever you need to type something.
If you've grown accustomed to the built-in number row that comes with the Samsung keyboard, fret not, you can add it to Gboard in the app's settings. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, as Gboard has tons of cool features that's sure to impress once you've given it a try. Feel free to head to the link below if you'd like to learn more about Gboard.
Tip 5 Browse the Web with Chrome
no comment
While your Galaxy S9 may not be able to run true stock Android, this method gets you as close as currently possible to the experience you would have with the Pixel's minimalist OS. How are you liking the Pixel experience on your S9 so far?

And not everybody like the Touchwiz Launcher and other Samsung Apps.
Or somebody like the Samsung Hardware and the Pixel Software.
There are some reasons for somebody.

Trust me. I wish a XDA would work with a manufacturer and release one XDA branded phone.

Unable to use dialer with two sims
Hi i am using the exynos version of the galaxy s9 plus. I am unable to use the google dialer for my second sim. The dialer doesnt show two call buttons for two differnt sims. Please help
Thanks for this thread. I am loving the google experience on my s9plus. Althiugh i am using the nova launcher instead of the pixel launcher.
To each his own, but Nova is for me (and many, many others) a far better launcher than Google's, and Swiftkey has the best prediction engine by far. And all the Samsung apps can be easily themed dark, unlike Google's versions which insist on being blindingly white.

For me, the lack of wireless charging is what made me pick the Samsung over the pixel. I love just having the charging puck to set the phone on.

Then, why you need to slow the phone with stupid launchers?
The omission of wireless charging was hugely disappointing when Google announced the Pixel 2 (and when they announced the first Pixel, for that matter). Many of us have been wirelessly charging for 5+ years. Even mediocre cars are coming with wireless charging pads in them. Google surely would have sold many more Pixel phones had they included Qi, as there are plenty of Samsung owners like me who don't really WANT a Samsung, we just want the best hardware and keep ending up with a Samsung device.
I have no clue what ion1s is going on about. He asks why you would slow down the phone with stupid launchers... pretty sure the answer is obvious (Nova is 100x better than TouchWiz, for one). I honestly feel sorry for people that use a Galaxy with the default launcher and default 4x4 grid homescreen layout. Like, wow your 6.2" screen has a whole 8 icons you can put on your homescreen since the clock takes up 4x2. And the dock + dots take up the entire bottom 1/3rd of the screen. Pathetic. These 2:1 ratio screens are perfect for a 7x5 desktop grid with 7 dock icons. That's 42 usable areas of the homescreen (with half increments too) compared to the anemic 16 with TouchWiz (no half increments, and can you choose 4x5 or higher in TouchWiz now? I honestly haven't used TouchWiz on any of my dozen Samsung devices ever, especially since my first Samsung was the Galaxy Nexus). Default TouchWiz homescreen is like those universal remote controls or calculators with HUGE buttons - great for old people that have terrible vision, useless for everyone else...yet people keep their default launcher, default icons, default wallpaper, default ringtone, etc. I see it all the time, even people my age in their 30's that are seemingly good with technology....their phone will ring and it's the default Verizon ring-tone and default everything on their phone...these people should just get an iPhone since they don't even know options or settings exist on their device.

It is a fair question. If I were looking at S9 Plus vs Pixel 2 XL, I may have gotten the XL. However I determined I didn't want a phone any bigger than the Nexus 5X I had at the time. Others have stated other reasons that also matter to me (wireless charging, camera). S9 also has a bigger battery and an SD card slot. But my biggest reason was the S9 has a 5.8" screen versus the 5.0" of the Pixel 2, while being marginally larger than the pixel but still smaller than the Nexus 5X.
I can live with having to strip out the Samsung bloat and waiting a little longer for android updates.

LOL, I actually looked at TouchWiz for all of 10 seconds when I received the phone just to see if anything had changed. Amazingly, on what I noticed in that short time, Samsung has managed to keep the same crappy launcher seemingly unchanged since I first used it years ago. Like you, I'm amazed that anyone actually uses it considering it's lack of any features.
Whoops wrong thread
Hi, just to contribute about the discussion "why didn't you but a Pixel in the first place?".... I'm a big fan of pure stock Android and Google experience, but I just got an S9 because it's very popular over here, so I was able to find it at a very very good price from my carrier.
At some point I'll just flash a custom rom such as LOS, but for the time being I'd like to keep my warranty and just installing key apps.

Hi, thanks for these tips. May I ask you a bit more info about the dialer APK link you posted? Does it have any mod, or is it similar the the one available on apkmirror? Did you made it or just repost something which was already available?

Thanks for your response. Now that I know it's possible to work as it should I'll keep digging into things to see if I can get this right.
