WOW!!! Great Post!!

Thank you for taking the time to post and all the hours of research this took. You can tell by my post count I don't usually thank people. I have been lurking and downloading for years. This is awesome what you did!!! :laugh::highfive:

Excellent post ! Bravo Bravo !

Very nice write up.

I suggest having a look at GMD gestures when using the home button remap fix, iv created a gesture to act like a home button.
Works extremely well.

Also I believe I was the first to discover clock faces as widgets :laugh:

Alternative way to install apk (Without Wondershare)

How to install APK’s to your gear. (Without Wondershare)

Ok this is for everyone who can’t justify buying Wondershare and the trial expired. (Or can't afford)
These instructions work for people who have a Windows/Mac/Linux.

Download fastboot. (See attached files)
Unzip fastboot the root of your drive (You can delete it later when done, or advanced users can unzip it anywhere)
Make sure your watch is in USB Debug mode (See Post# 2 if you’re unsure how to do this)
If you’re using Mac or Linux, You can skip this step. If your using windows, make sure you have installed the Samsung USB Drivers. (See Post# 2)
Plug your Gear into your computer
Now open up a Command Prompt (Terminal window for Mac/Linux) (Google it if you’re unsure how)

.

Type in the following:
For Windows:
cd\

.
cd fastboot

.
adb devices

For Mac:
cd\
cd fastboot
chmod 755 *
./adb-mac devices

For Linux
cd\
cd fastboot
chmod 755 *
./adb-linux devices
Look at your gear, there should be a prompt. Press OK. (If you have connect before using USB this might not appear on the gear, just go to the next step))
If it does not come up, then we will need to kill the process adb.exe running and try launching it from the command prompt again.

Windows:
Open Task Manager, Locate adb.exe and end the task.

Mac/Linux:
Type in the command:
kill adb
Now type in the following:

Windows:
adb devices

Mac:
./adb-mac devices

Linux:
./adb-linux devices
Looking at the Command windows (Terminal window) You should see device. (If you do – GREAT, else go back and try again)

.
Move you apk file you want to install to the fastboot directory
Use the following command to install your apk file:

Windows:
adb install nameoffile.apk

.

Mac:
./adb-mac install nameoffile.apk

Linux:
./adb-linux install nameoffile.apk
Once installed the app should appear on your gear under the apps section.

Noticed AshtonTS had also posted Mac guide so I am linking to it here incase others need it.

Not sure I understand. Are you wanting to use the gear to lanch apps on your phonce?

Aw, best bet here is to connect your phone to wondershare download the app to your phone and then back up the app with wondershare and then transfer the apk to you gear. (Was not aware it will not install directly to the gear. I already had the apk backed up on my pc so I just transferred it.)

Hope that helps.

Odd. Never ran into that issue. I would suggest directly to the ATN Manager forum and submit your question there? What version did you install? try 1.2pre that seems to be the version everyone is having best luck with.

uccw

ok so I'm going into uccw and trying to mess around with it. when i go to select the 4x4 is just sits on a blank page and in the top left it just says loading... it wont go past that.

Also if i put something that I make from the phone onto the Gear storage how do i load that set up? I was able to get it to be renamed but just couldn't figure out the rest.

Thank you so much for all the set up and figuring all of this out can't wait to see the future for this bad boy

I changed the button behavior using the method above, but the button still does not turn the screen on and off. I checked and re checked to make sure I have followed the exact instructions listed above with the word power instead of home...

Try opening UCCW directly and make your widget in there first and save it and then try ans load it on the screen. The instructions might be my bad, I was trying to do them from memory. I will make the appropriate changes to the guide.

If you make one on your phone, save it as a uzip file. then transfer that uzip file to your gear and then open the uzip file withing the uccw program.

Reopen the file and make sure the changes took. I had that issue where it did not take the edit.

I got it to work to an extent and then failed. I plugged the Gear, went through commands in the Mac, it can see it but says device offline and there is nothing in the Gear to acknowledge and show online in the command line. I think I am going to break down and buy Wondershare. Ugh $40 bucks.

Thanks,

Ian B

Thanks alot dude!

Note: If the screen starts to flicker, just continue working, if it locks up, Yes it does happen don’t panic, just reboot then. (Reboot by holding the button down for 30+ seconds)

WTF

I belive this happens when it runs out of memory. But the only time this happens is during the creation of widgets. But after I'm done and did a restart everything runs smooth.

Sounds like you denied the permissions for the computer to connect to it. (ie. When you connect the computer to it, there's a popup on the gear asking if you're willing to accept the incoming connection.)

For some reason, it never showed in the Gear. No biggie, found another PC at the house and doing another 10 day trial. All previous apps r back in the Gear and all is well.

Thanks,
