I'll start working on this as soon as Im out of school for the winter and on the plane home. Hopefully I'll have an alpha by the new year. Don't expect me to maintain it
Keep calm and wait ?

I think many would be excited...
I've made a new thread for my wear rom. I hope to get some test builds up in the next few days.
The more I think about it, it may be somewhat easier to take the Android Wear OS parts needed to make the Null_ port work with the new apks. Since the new wear devices don't have speaker/camera and can't place/answer calls on the device. Basically strip down and merge the 2. The more I learn about the new Wear devices, the more I think i'm sticking with the Gear 1 till the next gen wearables. Just don't like the limited direction of the new devices. Maybe the technology just isn't there yet to make the slim device that does it all. But I'm all for squeezing every ounce out of the gear 1 before I count it out.
I agree. I just bought a Gear 1 off eBay and I love it. Christmas present to myself. I still haven't went for Tizen update.

I get source code "SM-V700_JB_Opensource_Update2.zip" . I tried it in Chrome but somehow it wasn't working. I opened it on Firefox, and it was successful.
That is not full source for the Galaxy Gear. That is only the limited amount of source materials needed for Samsung to comply to Open Source requirements... Most of what we need is not open sourced. This project is still technically doable, but a smarter person than myself is needed to tackle it.
Its enough source to build a kernel and I have. Correct me if I'm wrong but the kernel I built from source should be complete enough to replace the stock kernel. I will not have a chance to try it till i get back to my gear on the 12th.

Sorry for not responding, been a bit busy. Still trying to get a kernel dump of the Gear Live to do some comparison. Shouldn't be too ridiculously hard, I've definitely seen things that seemed harder than this done. So if we keep at it, we might be able to get it booting at least.
fomey, can I get your attempt port that got to the bootanimation? I want to do some comparison to my attempt. Also, when you get your gear live, if you could dump the boot.img for me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello everyone!
This is my first attempt at porting Android Wear to the Galaxy Gear! I am not an experienced dev and this was done fairly quickly using null_23 as a base and the Gear Live system dump. This is not at all ready and definitely not ready to flash. If you do decide to flash it, you risk bricking your device. That being said, I am requesting that a more experienced dev check over my work. If it seems in order, then it will be tested, until such a time, test at your own risk.
