If I can ever figure out gear manager with lollipop on my lg, I'll give it a run. Been using null again to at least have functionality with my setup.

I haven't been keeping up with gear manager beyond using it to get null flashed. What did Samsung do with lollipop installer?
The older versions were pushed out with all the files needed. So people could install what they wanted.
The new version is just an installer and it then downloads and installs all the other bits automatically when you pair it with the gear. So it makes it real hard to install on non samsung phones

Hi Maskerwsk,

I believe you have any dev experience, seeing you have put this custom rom together.

Are you aware that a group of devs are trying to port Android Wear to our beloved Gear 1 ?
If you have time, would you join this group and share your knowledge ?

Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-gear/orig-development/rom-android-wear-t2977026

That way, maybe we come to a quicker port.

Thanks

I am running Null_23 and no need to try another rom, but I want to thank you for your hard work.

Another ROM for this great device is always welcome, especially since there is not much choice in roms.

I hope others will find your rom and install it.

Maybe small tip : maybe the startpost would be even better by adding some screenshots of the rom and of its special features.

Nice to see you get it working dude :) what are the differences with your Rom and null?
Hey bud.

My ROM is solely based on Touch Wiz.
Its basically Stock ROM but with extra apps and a few mods to improve usability etc.

I haven't tried Null but it seems that is more of a fully functioning phone type rom with google services etc.
Where as mine is more like straight out of the box but with a few extras :)

So it uses stock kernel, etc? What about the NFC pairing to Samsung phones only? Is that removed?
