No Support Via PM - Please stop with the PM. They will now be ignored!



Well after creating my last tutorial, much has changed, wonderful new things have come about. So I thought it was time to create a new tutorial covering the new things.

So after now I have read 1000+ of pages and posts, hopeful this will help cut down on your searches. BUT read the whole tutorial before you ask questions. There are fare to many people that ask questions that are usually covered in the OP (Original Post) of threads. Please be respectful of the Developers Time and not ask dumb questions that have the answer posted.

Things you will need before you continue reading:

• Ability to understand what you read
• Time and Patients
• How to use Google Search
• Time and Patients
• A brain
• Ability be patient with all of us.
• Give Credit where credit is due
  
• Lastly Understand that Nobody is responsible for what you do to your gear, except you. And using the guide below will void your warranty

​

Now that is covered lets continue.

First get and install Wondershare MobileGo for Andoid this will make life easier. (Google it - Link removed by the request of xda)

Update your gear to V700XXUAMK7 Firmware:

Update your gear to V700XXUAMK7 Firmware: (Skip if your already on MK7)
Thanks to almulder1092 for the info


Make sure your gear is running V700XXUAMK7 Firmware, (If you are, you can skip this section.)

Note:If your in the USA and there is no update yet, just download the UK Version (BTU - United Kingdom)

Let update our Galaxy Gears firmware. (A must in you want to do anything below)
Note: This could wipe you data, save anything you need just incase.

Preparation:

1. Download V700XXUAMK7 Firmware from here - Thanks to AdamLange
2. Download Odin from here - Thanks to daerragh (Get version 3.09)

Installation:

1. Put your Gear into Download Mode
   a. Press and hold the power button until the Restarting appears
   b. Repeatedly press the power button until the Select REBOOT MODE appears
   c. Press the power button once to move the selection to Download
   d. Press and hold the power button for about 3 sec.
   e. You are now in download mode.
   
2. Connect your Gear to you PC. (Using the Cradle and Micro USB)
3. Open Odin
4. Click on the PDA Button
5. Locate the V700XXUAMK7 Firmware and select it. (It should be a .md5 file, if it is zipped, then unzip it)
6. Press Start
7. Once it is completed it will reboot the gear.

Note: Let your gear sit for a bit as it updates everything. I might look like it is stuck on the Samsung logo, but you should see the word Samsung pulsating. That means its working. Should it take more than 5 mins, simply Press and hold the power button down until it resets.
​

Note: Should you get the dreaded screen of death, just flash the MK7 ROM back onto your gear and start all over.


Screen of Death (LOL)

​

Make sure the Gear is activated and connected to your Phone. (Samsung Manual)

How To:

1. If your unsure how to do this, Return your Gear. (LOL)

Null Quote:
If you find the recovery is not sticking & your Gear wipes when attempting to access recovery after flashing, you must root your Gear prior to installing TWRP again & Run the following commands in ADB:

*NOTE* You will gave to accept a supersuser request popup when executing "SU" command

*NOTE 2* Probably a good idea to run this prior to first installation (To save time)

$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system

# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge

If needed "ADB" can be found here on xda - Thanks to shimp208

Thanks to almulder1092 for the info


This is for anyone looking for an alternative way of getting apps onto the gear.

These instructions work for people who have a Windows/Mac/Linux.

2. Unzip fastboot the root of your drive (You can delete it later when done, or advanced users can unzip it anywhere)

4. 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.
5. Plug your Gear into your PC
6. Now open up a Command Prompt (Terminal window for Mac/Linux) (Google it if you’re unsure how)
   
   
   
   .
   
   Type in the following:

   ./adb-mac devices​
   
   
   For Linux
   cd\
   cd fastboot
   chmod 755 *
   ./adb-linux devices​
7. 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​
8. Now type in the following:
   
   Windows:

9. Looking at the Command windows (Terminal window) You should see device. (If you do – GREAT, else go back and try again)
   
   
   
   .
10. Move you apk file you want to install to the fastboot directory
11. 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​
12. Once installed the app should appear on your gear under the apps section.

Full System UI? Get back DBL tap settings for quick Volume and Brightness

Full System UI? Get back DBL tap settings for quick Volume and Brightness
thanks to fOmey for the info.


If you have installed full system ui, then you might have noticed that a dbl finger dbl tap does not bring up you quick settings anymore. Not current;y there is no way to get that exact view back, as it has been replaced. fOmey has looked into extracting it out, but does not look like i can be done.

But never fear a solution is here.

Option 1)
Put Nova Launcher Prime on your gear so you have access to the Gestures and edit the dbl tap option

Option 2)
Create a shortcut.


What ever option you chose the result will be that same in the end.

How to:

1. Be sure you have Xposed & GravityBox installed and Activated. (See post #8)
2. Open up GravityBox
3. Goto >> Statusbar Tweaks >> QuickSettings Managment >> Statusbar QuickSettings Tiles
4. Then Select the following
   • Volume
   • Ringer Mode
   • Bluetooth
   • Brightness
   • Battery Status
   • And any other quick options you want.
5. Now go back to your desktop
6. press and hold to bring up options
7. Select Nova Actions >> Expand Quick Settings
8. You should now have an Icon on your desktop that when pressed will open up Quick Settings for you.

Note: If you have Nova Prime, and want to use a gesture, just select the gesture and then Select Nova Actions >> Expand Quick Settings

Note: You can go back into GraveBox and resort the tiles to your liking. (Along with many other options.

]NotiCounter Widget

NotiCounter Widget (Version as of this tutorial is v1.0)
Thanks to st-tps for creating it.


If your using Null_ and tired of not having a notification badge on your screen, this is the answer.
NotiCounter is just as the title suggests. Its a Widget that you can customize and have notification counts show on your gear screen. And it includes custom sounds.

Preparation.

2. Download NotiCounter Widget from here

Installation

1. Install NotiCounterWidget
2. Reboot Your Gear (Must Reboot after install)
3. Once rebooted go into Gear Settings >> Sound >> Notifications
4. Select NotiSilent (If it is not in your list, Did you reboot?) This is simply a blank sound file. this needs to be selected to avoid multiple notifications sounds (Note: Skip this step if you Don't plan to use the sound features in Noti.)
5. Now to avoid the repeated notification that Noti has been granted SU permissions, lets disable that message.
6. Open Super SU
7. Press the # next to NotiCouonter Widget
8. On the Notifications "Global Default" change that to read Disabled. This will stop the notifications from comming on everytime your screen turns on.

    .

    1. You can leave the sound file at default or Select a different one. (Click on Choose File)
    2. Once you Select Choose File you will be give a list of sounds that have been included with Noti app.
    3. Select any file and you will hear a preview of the sound file.
    4. If you want to use your own personal sound files, go up one directory and the select Notifications folder. (See previous tutorials for adding custom sound files)
    5. Once you have selected your sound file you want, then click Set
    .
13. Custom Sounds? Check this box if you want to have custom sounds play according to the app .
    1. Select Add Apps
    2. You will be presented with a list of all apps that are set to send notifications to your gear.
    3. Select any app you want a custom sound for
    4. Select the sound file just as you could have above.
    5. Once Selected you will see a Toast message box appear at the bottom letting you know it has been set.

20. Blank spot at 0 unread Notifications? Basically do you want to see a number 0 or nothing at all when there are no notifications?
21. Power-saving Mode? Normal, Medium Saver, Power Saver. - Normal will give your a more stock feel for the Gear (I prefer Normal)
    • Normal - Checks for activity in the notifications app, if it´s running it does badge checks with a certain intervall.
    • Medium Saver - Checks for activity in the notifications app, if it´s running it does badge checks with a certain intervall. When Notifications hit 0 it stops the checks
    • Power Saver - Only checks Once upon screen On, then nothing.
22. Restore all Data - This will remove the sound files that Nofi install. If you want to remove Noti you might want to press this button first.
23. Now that you have your settings Press Save
24. Now place the widget like you would any other widget.
25. you will see two options for your widget. Normal and Bold. that is in reference to the Text number. (I prefer Bold)
