I've finally figured a way to get good looking functional notifications for the Gear using a Moto X.

1. Install NotiSync on both devices. Set your phone as primary and Gear as secondary

2. Install NotifierPro Free on your Gear. Enable notification accessibility in Gear settings.

3. Make sure NotiSync is checked off in NotifierPro Settings.

4. Set up custom profiles on NotiSync on your phone for all apps you want notifications sent to the gear.

5. NotifierPro Free, set position below status bar and make sure wake on notification is on.


This has worked very well for me. It presents a drop down translucent banner for my notifications and seems to be very reliable.

Setup:
NotiSync -> Phone

NotiSync + NotifierPro Free -> Gear

Tell NotifierPro to show NotiSync notifications.

That issue I'm not sure about. Maybe retry installing NotifierPro and enabling accessibility again. I didn't get any issues like that.

Watch has been unplugged for about 8 hours now with consistent notifications during that time. My current battery percentage is at 93%. Much better than what I was getting with Tablet Notifier.

I just recieved a notificaiton for the first time on a google play edition rom for gmail !!

Wooo.. Going to give cyanogenmod a try now.. if cyanogenmod works this could possibly unlock the ability for any android devices to use the gear.
