I didn't get the Galaxy Gear because I am not very proud of it's battery life, but if there is one thing that i'm really jealous of is their ability to root and have custom ROMs. I'm just starting to learn development and it might take me some time to get to the point where i can create a root for a new device, but i'm ready to pay somebody to do it for me.
What i would like to be achieved is a custom rom that allows us to rearrange icons, change the Bluetooth icon color, because when the phone disconnects and the icon grays out, there is not much of a difference. Something that allows us to have custom clocks with weather, or a notification badge, or other stuff that this watch lacks and that could be fairly easily implemented by Sony. I am aware that there are some limitations to Sony SDK and due to poor LCD resolution, but something is better than nothing. All i'm saying is i'm not expecting CM11 on this
I pledge 25$ to the cause
Bounty now at: 25$

no, but thats not the point. The watch is tethered to a phone thats running android and that can push information to the watch. The gear has some custom OS is possibly based on android 4.2, i'm sure the SW2 is not so far from that either
I'm not nerdy enough yet to confirm if this is possible, but i'm sure there is something we can do
Yes the gear actually runs android and can run apps natively. Thats the whole reason you see a custom rom. the gear is no where near that capable and doesn't have the luxury of already having an android base.

Thanks To be honest - I am little bit afraid about HW capacity required for running Android. On the other side - I see enough space for SW optimization. If I compare it to old fashioned PalmOS devices.

The Smartwatch can not and will never run a full Android since it uses a microcontroller cpu that is not made for this kind of usecase (ARM Cortex-M3 at least in the smartwatch 1 not sure which CPU is used in the Smartwatch 2 but i suppose it uses the same or similar cpu)
I reported this Donation app to google. Not sure if they agree with me that this is fraud but it is very obvious.
Everyone who researches a bit would know that it is impossible.
the 200$ app however i think i can't report since they deliver exactly what they write. nothing but a expensive app that does nothing.

Eh, maybe so, but he seems extremely intelligent and I, in some way, agree with what he had to say. Android does not offer the same ROI as Apple does. Have you heard of any Android developer actually making a substantial amount of money on the platform? I haven't, but maybe I don't know. Although I'm disappointed that awesome iPhone app developers such as Smule's Jeff Smith and others won't be coming to Android, I can certainly understand where they're coming from.

Nope, the idiot made it pretty clear he's looking for an Installous like market..
It is my understanding that you can get a refund for anything you buy that doesn't work out (in the first day or two i think). that coupled with all the trial apps, means there is no legit reason to use a cracked app.
Not that i ever agreed with that excuse, but some people suggested that it was there reason for wanting cracked apps - to try before buy.
Support developers and don't fool with cracked apps. It is stealing.
I don't think installous on iphone is that bad. I used it so I didn't have to pay for apps and I will admit that but then the app store is so massive anyway it doesn't matter. They will still develop for it.
On android however I think it is av completely different story. As the market isn't that big we need to be supporting developers and giving them a reason to want to develop for android. If everyone on android are going to crack the apps anyway then why would developers ever move from apple to android?

WHY they luck the interface customization?
WHY they don't allow file sharing on Bluetooth?
i just don't get it. what is the advantage of not allowing these things? because these things are available in phones from 10 years ago, so it's not technology limitation. it's the company policy FOR WHAT?
Because it's apple.. they're selfish and think they are the best in everything.

They want the user experience to be as close to perfect as possible so things that might not work flawlessly are disabled for the user. That's why people say iPhones "just work"

I tryed version from apkmania (for test purposes). This program is unstable, picture that I choose is not in full resolution, even if I set zoom on 0, walpaper is still zoomed. At the end, I decided to erase it from my Note 10.1.
Works perfectly for me. You just need to pic a photo sized correctly to work.
I can never get over people who complain about a < $2 app they would use every day on their $500 tablet. No offense but don't be so damned cheap.
I don't think it's about cheapness. Some people weigh value against cost. I'm one; it's not that I'm cheap, I spent thousands of dollars in electronics each year to satisfy my tech cravings.
However, when it comes to value then it is a different thing. I'm not into pretty widgets, themes, icon packs and live wall papers. These are worthless and server no purpose other than aesthetics, IMO. Even those low-weigh-on-CPU worthless stuff and even if my tablet has butt loads of spare CPU juice and super extra RAM; even if the software in question only puts a 0.1% load on my tablet I don't want it, even if it's free.
I've had this philosophy even back in my iPhone days, I've had most them and things like WinterBoard, low weight, pretty on the eyes, and free... I don't want it.

Honestly, it would be irresponsible to share it. I remember when it was doing the rounds, and it did actually work but it sent every IM, sent AND received, to and from a server in China. The privacy concerns are obviously high, not just for the Android user but primarily for the unaware iOS user.
I don't think that kind of thing should be encouraged on XDA.

Honestly, it would be irresponsible to share it. I remember when it was doing the rounds, and it did actually work but it sent every IM, sent AND received, to and from a server in China. The privacy concerns are obviously high, not just for the Android user but primarily for the unaware iOS user.

Yeah, that app also had the ability to download apps in the background. There was a some saying that since it went through that server in China, it could have have the possibility to steal data from Apple IDs. Like credit card numbers. Its a shame, because it did work pretty good. Hopefully since Hangouts is on iOS now, maybe someday they'll be nice and bring iMessage to us.
Another solution would be to convert everyone to android so iMessgae would become irrelevant.

The download apps in the background comment was a joke, but what's funny is its taken for truth so easily.
I very much doubt 'Fu Manchu' set this up to steal apple apps lol.
Don't matter to me which bunch of snoops read my ever so interesting messages, China USA whatever
