Great Gear Apps

I wanted to start a place to let everyone know about really cool software for the gear. Here are two that I really like:
Mini Gallery - Allow you to display the photos local on the phone on the Gear!
WatchStyler - Allows you to create your own watch faces with any picture!
Do you see any more that I may have missed? Let us know!

Start with "Gear Manager", then select "Samsung Apps", then select "Utilities" You'll find it there.
Enjoy!

It was slow the first time, must have to cache the phones locally much faster after that.

Yes

i found "Mini Gallery" in the Samsung app on Note 3, download it, got text "show app in GEAR administrator" pressed and found it in "my programs / installed" as Mini Gallery. There is no tool / wheel behind Mini Gallery,here ? as in the other originally Gallery. So nothing to set. I rebooted Note 3 and rebooted also GEAR, but nothing helps, I can still only see, on the GEAR, those 3 images i photographed with the GEAR, no pictures from Note 3 gallery. I need help !!

I just tried a bunch of sound effect apps and these 3 worked for me:
Peanut Gallery (multi sound great layout for the gear)
The real Drama Button (One button Baa baa baa!)
OMG! Button multi sound not so great layout)
Enjoy.

You are correct man. I do not know any other apps that are much needed for the gear on the moment.
I hope there will be an app that can display all notifications on the gear incl. whatsapp

My Drives
Bluetooth File Transfer
Google Play Music

S-Finder is amazing!!

it is so much better than the google phone search...
say you want to look up someones phone number or email.....before you would have to go into contacts and search
now you just pull down the notification bar, click s-finder, type in their name and everything comes up

IMHO, S finder not so useful, then Google now

what I needed was an universal phone search....contacts, calendar, birthday, notes, tasks, phone numbers, etc....
google now does not do that well.....
this one does it just like iphones

this was one of my main gripes about Android (I switched from an iphone about a year ago)...no readily accessible system-wide search. I still think S Finder is kinda slow but it's definitely better than nothing :good::good::good:

hmm, I'll have to check it out.

S finder not searching Gmail messages, it's so weird

Use Gmail with the stock email, and it just might..

Apple sued for the Universal search(Google search widget) present in Samsung's Gingerbread and ICS phones, not S Finder.

Stock mail is terrible app, all people use AquaMail and Gmail native app

The suggestion was in relation to Sfinder picking up on Gmail content & nothing more. Check Sfinder settings out..

which, i think is complete BS.....it's called indexing and a computer wouldn't even be modern if it cant search its own self

S Finder no longer searches Evernote
I loved S Finder for its ability to search all the phone's local data AND Evernote notes (amazing). For some reason, S Finder is no longer searching Evernote notes (and some other apps as well) despite the fact that those apps are checked in the S Finder settings. I thought this might have had to do with KitKat, but S Finder continued to work with EN long after the upgrade. :crying:

Yes, S finder saves me a lot of time too when searching for settings I want to find fast. I think it's one of the most powerful feature of the new tw.

Is quite useful when i looking for specific files or apps. I use google now for weather and map and use s finder for files.

Yep. It's way better than the google search

[Q] Problem with Samsung App store for Gear 1 with Tizen + Note 3

Has anyone experience problem with limited app choice in samsung app store?
I've recently submited app for samsung app store, and it seems like samsung is categorizing gear apps by phone + gear model.
Everything is ok, but some models (notably Note 3 + Gear 1 Tizen) are missing from the list, so I can't download my (GetUp! Alarm Clock) and any other new app from the store. I just have some basic apps + watch faces which really sucks
Expecially that Note 3 + Gear 1 is quite popular combo.
Anyone can confirm this? What can we do about that?

Yes, I can. Have a GT-i9502 (S4 Duos) and limited app choice.

Quick fix: I've masked my Duos as a normal S3 using Device Spoofer.
Over hand: Nerving Samsung. I cant see any sence of that. Its Bullsh...
BTW. Havent found you app. Maybe is also restricted to the country

Thanks for your answer!

That's strange.
I have selected all countries availiable so it shouldn't be the case.
It seems I can't be sure where and how my app is avaiable... And I don't have any way to verify it...
The only hint I have are two user comments, both written from S5 / gear 1 tizen.

I am running a nexus 5. I spoofed the Samsung s5. And am able to install the Samsung app store and browse apps. Sadley downloading/installing give me a fail. However the galaxy gear manager does not have a list for the Samsung apps market. Either the on android or tizen

Why does Email app look like old version

Coming from Nexus 5, why does Email app look like an older version? Does anybody know? It's not like the Gmail version anymore.

I use Email for work heavily. Can someone please let me know? TIA!

I just checked and my note 3 is the same as my note 4, which do not look like gmail. Can you post a screen shot?
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

Because the Note doesn't use the Google stock email app. Samsung built their own based off of AOSP,
It's ugly, and the fonts are HUGE, but at least it has split-screen mode in landscape. If you don't like it, there's a lot of other email apps out there.

Thanks! But this sucks - it's like going back in time!

Thread moved to Q&A - please post in the correct sections - thanks.

You can install any other email app you want. If you want to take advantage of the Samsung features though, you'll need to use the ugly one.

Since I got this phone Gmail no longer works for me now. So im force to use the default mail client.

Smart Select APK

Hi guys! Okay, I need some help. I just upgraded to the Note 5 from the Note 4. While I like the phone overall, I'm absolutely missing the Smart Select S Pen feature from the Note 4 (which, objectively, is the better phone). Could anyone please, please, please....please post the apk for the Smart Select feature? I'm going to try to put it on my Note 5.
I found an app that actually works better than the Note 5 rendition of Smart Select (http://apkpure.com/smart-select-ocr/com.bin.smartselect) but it's just not the same. Thanks for the help!

I don't see a app with that name. Are you sure that's not a feature in the S-pen app?

Actually, you're 100% right. It's not a standalone app so to speak. It's, more than likely, an system apk mixed with a few other settings and system dependencies, mixed with a few thinks I'm not familiar with :silly: . In order to get the Note 4's Smart Select functionality on a Note 5 I'll probably have to reach out to one of my smart developer friends.
Thanks for responding!
