A watch styler application is now available from the Samsung Apps Store for the Gear 2:

It looks pretty good so far ....
Wonderful app, finally allowed me to put the BT indicator and battery level on the home screen.
However, seems to drain battery like hell. Anyone else with such experience?

No, I haven't had the battery drain. I still have to play around with it more. So far so good though. I'm glad it was updated. Now I can custom my face watches like before.
OK. Got apk file from gearfaces.com.
Thanks.

Can someone upload it as APK file?
It can backup as APK file with ES File Explorer.
For non-samsung phone users like me, there is no Samsung Apps to download that Watch Styler.
Thanks.

Constantly customizing and loading to your watch is absolutely going to drain your battery. But normal use with just a custom face won't.
Got it to install on my HTC m8, but the watch faces won't transfer over to gear manager.

apk file from gearfaces.com was installed. But, not working.
Uninstall it and re-Install twice from Samsung apps.
Working fine with Sony Z Ultra Android 4.3.

Can you please share the APK from amsung Apps? I am travelling out of my counrty for few Months and the damned Samsung Apps shows stupidily no apps as soon as your are out of your region.. not clever if their phones cannot be fully utilized on travel!!!
Thanks in advance
I think I may have found out why the new Digital Faces do not work properly. Tizen does things differently. Mostly it't the fontsize that causes the problems. As seen in the piece below of the piece of code out of the Json file. I created a digital watch and I had a look at its Json file, and this is what I found. Im wiating for @OpenMind_NL his confirmation about this. If this is it all digital watches need to be converted. Not GOOD!
"DIGITAL_ITEM":{"bgName":"","timeZoneId":"Europe/Amsterdam","clockItem":"DIGITAL_ITEM","clockTextParts":{"HOUR_PART":{"clockTextPartType":"HOUR_PART","textVerticalAlign":"CENTER","textFormatForMoment":"HH:mm","textFormat":"HH:mm","textAlign":"CENTER","maxWidth":0,"h":3,"fontSizeTizen":0.0,"fontSize":106,"w":10,"x":0,"y":0

I have digital faces working through Watch Styler. Not quite sure why everyone is having an issue. The only problem I have is that I can't change between 24hr and 12hr. All I did was create a digital theme and move it over through gear manager. How are you trying to push it over?

Oh that. Yeah I got those working too. All I did was import them. I did get the error message. I just uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, rebooted both devices and it worked.
...no watch styler in GM App Store, nor toggles..tips?
Is it a regional/device/signature issue? I'm using an AT&T Galaxy S5 and Gear 2 Neo in Northern Cal. I seem to have most apps within the store, but no Watch Styler, Toggles, etc.
Any tips?

Hi, my apk file is exactly the same size with the one from gearfaces.com.
What I mean is normal apk file installation won't integrate the Watch Styler to the Gear Manager.
Only the download and install from Samsung Apps will integrate Watch Styler to Gear Manager.
May be my phone is not Samsung and it is Sony Z Ultra.
Why starting a new thread here, when then is already one overhere (in the correct place IMHO): Gear 2 Themes and Apps
Watch Styler
Hi guys this is what I found so far I think the problem is with apps that need permissions these fail to install however apps that don't need permission install with no issues

The only IR Remote that is on my Note is the Peel.apk. Haven't seen any other ones in the Samsung Market either.
mine had the peel Smart Remote and Samsung WatchON.
from the app: "What is samsung watchon? a new way to enhance your tv watching experience. transform your tab into a universal remote control, receive personalized recommendations, and switch effortlessly between different screens"

It does crash though, searching for dependencies.
Just caved and flashed the rom. App launches but is stuck at setup, at least for Canadian users, I did update app from play store with us account I have. Canadian account says not available in your country. I guess that's what's stopping the initial setup as well.
Oh well!
Btw, watchon app is also available in us play store free, but since country dependent... Same **** samsung always pulls, with smart view app and now with this.

WatchOn is made by Peel
I was under the impression that the peel app was to work as a universal remote, whereas the watch on app is specific to only working with Samsung TV's. I set up the peel app and it works great with my Vizio tv, Cisco cable box w/dvr, and my sony home theater system.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using XDA Premium HD app
are there any other apps in the play store to work as an IR remote and if possible works offline.?.
The peel app needs internet to initiate everytime, rather than just once for setting up the database containing the iR codes for the device needed.
It could be perfect to post the latest all of the pre installed watch on app, I have checked on play store and is not available for my device thanks

Yes, this is what I want. A simple, non-internet connected IR app that will just let you configure the blaster to work your devices - maybe even with macro/scripting the way the Harmony remotes work.

I am getting several notifications from "s health ecosystem" and I am wondering how to mute them. They are pointless and kind of ugly being that they have a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle of it. If you touch them they do nothing, and the explanation detail is truncated.
Anyone figure out a way to get rid of these? They seem to be triggered by data passing between the watch and the fitness app.
i have the same issue . now that i got the gear 2 neo at times it will get 70+ notifications
very annoying

I believe it's happens depending on your sync of smasung account to health app, i changed mine to sync every 6 houts and haven't gotten it yet. But yesterday non-stop i was like really!? lol
related to launcher?
It seems like these notifications are related to the fact that I'm using the Nova launcher instead of Samsung's, so I'm being warned about some nefarious third-party contact. I can't even get to S Health from Nova, but my Gear Fit seems to be trying to communicate with it. It's a bit if a nuisance that I can't get to S Health, because the Gear Fit Manager doesn't provide nearly as much functionality. I hate all this walled-garden nonsense...
UPDATE:
A footnote on the Samsung App site (use the three blue lines in the upper right or scroll down in the left nav to Device and Content > S Health): "As of April 2014, these S Health features are only available on the Galaxy S5. Soon they will also be available on other devices, via app updates." I wonder how long that will take?

Hmm, I am using Google experience launcher - so maybe it is a launcher issue. Anyone running TouchWiz having this problem.
On the note 3 you have to delete s-health and health services. side loading these cause problems with the fitness with gear app. if these aren't installed the fitness with gear app will sync with your samsung account and work fine. by installing both it causes conflict as both are more or less the same. Not sure why everyone is hell bent on having s-health as fitness with health works great. as for the notifications, that pops up when the app syncs your data to your samsung account. i have mine set at 12 hours. there is no way currently to stop the notifications only changing the time period it syncs. hope this helps.

This sucks, these are annoying. I might expect this kind of thing with a hack or custom rom but I am bone stock note 3 and this seems kind of ridiculous. Makes you wonder if anyone at Samsung actually used this thing for a week before releasing it.

Thanks! I was unable to find the old app no matter which way I tried but the new app showed up today.
There is a free app called "Camera Controller" in the app store. It works great on s2 and was just released on 12/19
I installed Camera Controller today, it's ok but not as good as the old apps I was using with my Gear 2 Neo. I don't remember the names, but there were a couple of very good apps, especially the fact you could control the phone camera without the phone screen to turn on (spy camera mode). With Camera Controller, the phone camera seems to turn off when it feels like it. Unless the phone screen is on, it keeps saying 'Activity is not active' and remains 'connecting' forever. I will wait for a better app.
I have a GearS: on my samsung galaxy apps (samsung Kzoom ) i can see the camera controller (by tizen webapp) in the online store for gear. but it tell me "installed" and displays a play button instead of a download button the search results come up.. when i click the icon to open the camera controller apps page. it displays "MOVE TO SAMSUNG GEAR" instead of download. when i click move to gear it just launches the gear manager app again on the phone. nothing happens i cant find the app on the gearS.
any pointers please?

The new Gear Watch Designer is great but it seems to be lacking one particularly important indicator.
It would be great to have a condition for watchface design that shows the battery charge level of a connected phone, not just the battery level of the watch itself.
Is there any way in which this could be added using the Gear Watch Designer or some other method?
Thanks
I believe it can only be added by a companion android app. Unless the designer devs come up with a way to generate a generic android app for that or Samsung updates their accessory service to let watch faces access that info, it's not going to happen.
If you know how to code an Android app, it is actually very easy to get that information.

All in One! watch face ($1.99 I think) has an option to show phone battery level. You have to have to install a phone app called "Gear Data Provider". It works great with my Galaxy S4.

On my Galaxy S4 phone in the USA, I start the Samsung Gear app, then select Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Gear Apps pops up. Then, I touch "Top" which is to the right of Category and Staff Picks. Once there, I touch "Top free" and change it to "Top paid". It's the very first item in the list - All in One! In the "description" area of the watch face details, the dev (Alex Rokhlov) explains how to download Gear Data Provider from Google Play Store. There it's called GDP. Here's a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shu.gear.data
Good luck!
I have found a way to get the battery of the connected phone via tasker and the Taskers2 app on the gear s2. Just make a task in tasker that displays the battery level on the notification bar of the phone for three seconds, and then removes it. It will then display your phones battery % on your gear s2. Its not integrated into the watch face, but it works for me.
You will need to have Tasker, Tasks2 on your watch, and the paid companion app TaskS2

Now that WatchMaker is compatible with the Gear, you can use that to show Phone Battery Level as well as Watch Battery Level. However, the Step Counter and Weather Information are both not working properly, unless Im missing something in the settings of the app.
Weather works.

Not with the stock version of the calendar app on the S2. You will need to look for a non-stock app.
The stock app on the phone requires the app on the phone to send it the notifications real time.
