Hello everyone im new to the whole rooting and hacking processes but I was deciding between a gear and a gear 2. I went ahead and bought the gear 2 and was wondering if someone has made a root for it yet (I know its very soon) but I thought I would ask anyway . If nobody has started work on the root for the gear 2 yet PLEASE start!
im also waiting for this also really wanting a way to make and import new watch faces for the gear 2 neo , gear manager has a few in it but that's about it , and using watch styler I can import downloaded themes but cant apply them to the gear manager and have them show up on the watch
Yeah I want to be able to download android apps on it like es file explorer,Games,movies etc...
Ok but what can we do with a root gear2? We can t install android app

I think that's because WatchStyler will not work directly with Tizen (at the time of this post). I am hoping, too, that WatchStyler will soon be available for the Gear 2...

People with Tizen phones can use a 3rd party software to make Android apps work on Tizen, perhaps this would work on our watches once they are rooted.
"With a simple click, the Polaris App Generator software is able to wrap an Android APK and convert it to a Tizen OS executable file. This means developers don't have to pour additional resources into manually porting their apps."

I wasn't going to, but since you asked I will immediately start working on a root method for the gear 2.
More seriously, if someone started a bounty I would participate.

It will happen eventually. Someone will want to be 'the one' who rooted the first Tizen smart watch.
I wouldn't expect it to happen for a month or two.
I'm in on the bounty as well.

If you can get root then I can get what I want which is a dump of the device. After that we can look at other options. I am stuck until I can find an exploit for root user access. Maybe I can give you my notes?
gear 2 root
i have a note 3 flashed to pp and a gear 2. I have to use go sms to send and receive pics but my gear 2 does not work with go sms. if someone comes up with the root pm me. I would be will to donate for future r and d. thanks guys
Random thought is there any similarly between android an tizen code wise is it possible to compare the 2 side by side and maybe find and exploit from the galaxy gear that can be used on gear 2?

Source Code has been posted. Hoping that helps with achieving root. Googling "tizenexperts gear 2 source" will take you right to it.

EDIT: Also, Samsung will post NDD software update soon...
I can get messages to come to the watch from 3rd Party messaging, however I cannot respond. Are you able to respond to go messages from the watch or do you have to look up the contact on the watch to respond?
Yes. I am able to use my template's and svoice to respond

Hi all,
I just got my gear 2 today. I had the gear fit for a few hours and it worked seemlessly with my note 3, but i traded it in due to wanting the extra features on the gear 2 and one of those features is the ability to install apps. However, for whatever reason, the apps i select in the samsung apps store and install, either give me an error after most of the process is done, or they install and dont show up anywhere in gear manager or in apps on the phone.
I did reset the watch once already, and i am going to try again, but any ideas? I would be very appreciative.
I have a note 3 rooted running Jedi Elite Rom
it may have something to do with it being on samsungs home firmware tizon, so there maybe issues installing android apps to non android hardware
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's not android apps that I'm trying to install, it's the tizen apps from the Samsung app market, the ones that gear manager specifically directs you to.
Mine works flawlessly on my S5...maybe some of the apps are not meant for the note 3.

i agree. i think that us poor Verizon N3 folks that dont have Kit Kat yet are missing some functionality. hopefully now that S5 is out they will release it to us since everyone else seems to have it on their N3's
I have a tmobile note 3 and it is on kit kat. The apps for the watch are tizwn, but they work with the Android version of the app on the note3. The apps install fine on the phone, but the watch portion of the install gets install errors.

I was having issues on my Verizon Note3. On AndroidCentral someone posted a fix using this link. Worked for me. I can't post links yet so head over to their forum and search for Gear 2 and install.
It seems to revert to the "other" blue app store, but worked great.
Good luck!
I had the same problem. Spent hours figuring it out. It has something to do with either samsung apps or samsung hub on your phone. I had made SA into a user app to hibernate it with greenify, and I had hub frozen. I ended up having to reinstall my rom and not touch either of those apps. Then apps installed fine on my gear.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I am re-installing my rom right now. jedi elite on the note 3 gives you the option to not install certain stock apps during flash, i must have chosen not to install hub and other samsung stuff, so maybe that is my problem. I will report back when i know. thanks!
I was just installing gear manager and it gave me a notification that I needed to set my phone to allow installation of unsigned/unknown apps, which i always have set anyway. However, I noticed this time that there was a checkbox that said "Allow initial installation of application only". I wonder if that specific thing was blocking samsung apps from installing apps on the watch somehow.
I got it to work, i guess it must have been an incompatibility with my Rom. I downloaded the stock rooted deodexed rom and installed that, now the apps are installing on my watch. Thanks for the help!

It should be compatible. I'm running Wicked Kk on my note 3. Glad you got it working though
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
No problems here. Btw apps aren't installed on one of the home screens but under "apps" (should be on one of your homescreens on the gear)
Clocks show up under the clock settings. I assume that you know all this.
Just in case.
The nexus 5 works with the Galaxy gear 2.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/yo17ta4qyrx50zj/GearManager1_2.apk
Install it like a regular application, DO NOT unzip, just install and follow the steps inside the app
Can you download additional apps on there? I dont see Samsung Apps option in my gear manager app on nexus 5
If it works perfectly with the Nexus 5, I'll be going to Best Buy shortly.

Dont, no way to get apps other than what is installed there. non-touchwiz Samsung Apps apk does not show anything when you open it.

I can confirm that the Gear Manager software installs on the HTC One M8 as well, and that you can get all notifications from the phone on the Gear 2 Neo.
However, I haven't tried getting apps on the Gear 2 and am not (particularly) confident.

I have had some limited success installing apps. I got the sleep one to install (b4 they took it off the market) and a clockface. But any others I try just download and give me the app failed to install. (news feeder and the 360 one) everything else is working on My gear 2. Not a huge deal now as I am just testing it out, there are no good apps out yet. But I was trying to get it straight before the avalache of awesome apps starting coming in im sure here real shortly right. Anyone had similar issues?
I never had the gear 1 or followed it, how long before we got root and cool support/apps for it. anyone know? Of course this being one of the first Tizen products I would expect it to take longer.

Alright guys, I know a lot of you smart guys already have your Gear 2 like this but I was unable to find very many Gear 2 and non-android phone videos on YouTube so I made one. This is fully stock Gear 2 working with LG Optimus L70 from AIO/New Cricket.
Everything works. I even changed the S-Voice voice to use the Google Now voice. Watch the entire video if you are wondering how. (Not a tutorial just demo)

Correct, however I am working on getting to work with Google Now for real and not just the voice.
How did you get S-voice to send a text? I followed the same steps, but my S-Voice say messaging is not supported on this device. What stock app are you using on your phone?

I followed the same instructions also, but unable to tell it to send a text message like you did at the end of your video. I've got an LG G2, so I can't imagine our phones are that far apart from one another. When I tell it to send a text message, it say my device is not supported..

Yeah I don't think the differences are very big between the two devices. It is weird yours doesn't work.
S-Voice on my LG isn't flawless. It doesn't know when to stop listening. I have to manually tap the mic to make it stop.
By the way I am using Gear 2 model SM-R380 with software version R3AF201CZ3N
I made a YouTube video showing how I got the Gear 2 working with non-Galaxy
http://youtu.be/Yp5H4UAWSTk
I still have to retrace my steps on how I got the Google Now voice, once I figure it out I will make a video showing how to do it. I had integrated Google Now prior to getting the Gear 2 so when I set it all up, it just worked without me doing anything in particular.
Can you test the exercise for me
Can you see if the Run and Bike part work with a non samsung phone. It uses the GPS from the phone. I run and bike a lot and need this feature.
I ordered an LG G3 from overseas but its a deal breaker if I cannot get the GPS part working with the exercises.

Query
When you say non-galaxy devices do you mean devices that are still running android 4.3+ with touch wiz, or will this work with custom roms?
Thanks, Shaun

counting steps and estimating the distance, ok, but also with gps info?
Why do they always say non samsung device when most of us just want to use our note 3 on AOSP rom . Wouldn't it be better to say non touch wiz. Also will this work on android 4.4.4?
