So has anyone gotten their Gear 2 to work with a Samsung phone running an AOSP ROM? I'm currently running Hyperdrive on my Verizon S4 (MDK bootloader), but really miss AOSP. I saw this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862
...and wondered if this would be the process to follow, but without renaming the device in the build prop. Any insight would be appreciated!

At the risk of ridicule, here goes; I just changed from DX running Liberty Rom to the latest Galaxy Nexus LTE from Verizon running the latest IC. I can't seem to find a custom rom compatible with this device. I've attempted "codename android" 1.5.5 and 1.6. to no avail. I like the APEX but don't think it's compatible with my OS. Looking for a good compatible rom further customize.
Thanks!
Well, after absolutely no help from the forum, I figured it out on my own. I guess most here forget that they too were noobs at one time. I'll try to be a little more helpful than what I've received this far.
Just was looking for a quick answer I haven't been able to find. I just upgraded to the Telus variant of the S3 (i747m) and have rooted and installed TWRP. I just wanted to clear one thing up. When I was using my S2 (t989-d) It was ok for me to use a t989 rom despite using the Canadian variant. I was wondering when looking for a rom which ones would be compatible? I noticed the AT&T variant is i747 and I wanted to make sure I asked before destroying my phone.
I appreciate any answers, thanks.
Ok so the wifey bought me a the Galaxy Gear Watch after the sales rep told her it was compatible with the S3. I researched and sure enough it is now compatible, however I use a custom ROM, specifically CyanogenMod. I am not sure if the watch is compatible with custom rom's.. Does anyone have one paired with their S3 running a custom ROM?
Thanks

I believe the S3 is fully compatible with gear with 4.3 rom. If you're running custom rom try this apk version ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/ibwt5qjpak335d5/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager-1.apk) and cross your finger, if not you have to modify your gear with custom rom in order to make it works..
this may sound wierd but i would like my galaxy s3 to look like the galaxy s2.....is there any apps that can help or a rom that can help me...if so please provide instructions....i havent the slightest clue why but i just like the touchwiz interface that the galaxy s2 had....so basically i am asking is there a way to get the original touchwiz from the galaxy s2 over to my galaxy s3

Are you talking about gingerbread TouchWiz? If so then there is no way, this phone never ran gingerbread.
The lowest you can go is ics, and that's pretty similar to jellybean. If you're on 4.3 though you're completely stuck.

I don't know what version you're talking about, I'd need to know more details. But if you're on 4.3 you can't use anything else if you're on 4.1 you can use anything that's available.
There was no rom made for the s3 that had 3.0 on it.

You can use a custom launcher like Nova Launcher and download a Galaxy S2 theme in the Play Store.
1. TWRP is up
2. Stock 5.1.1 with baseband G920R4TYU2BOF7/HW version G9020R4.02
3. Kernel name: 3.10.61-V-Kernel+
4. No Mods
5. Rooted
Last time, I did any rooting and flashing was the original Galaxy S Mesmerize for USCC... Been using that trusty phone up until 2 days ago. I finally broke down and upgraded after 5+ years! So I'm a bit rusty on this kind of stuff.
I know when I was flashing with the Mez, I had to make sure that I used carrier-specific ROMs since there were subtleties in hardware and so on. I was wondering which of the Custom ROMs in the pinned thread in the general section of this forum were compatible with a US Cellular Galaxy S6 with the specs I listed. Here is the link to the thread I'm speaking of. Also, any hints, clues, thing to look for etc etc in determining if a ROM is compatible would be awesome.

Once again, thank you guys for all that you do.
Edit: Somewhat off-topic... OTA update keeps wanting to come through. Will OTA update undo root?
