Download this video for viewing in HD on your smartphone or computer. This video was brought to you by AndroidRoot.org. To See at AndroidRoot.org I know many of you requested me to show you how to install APK files to your Galaxy Gear using ADB and this will allow you to install any regular Android apps onto your Galaxy Gear. Now, not all Android apps work out of the box on the Galaxy Gear but you will find many do work including Nova launcher, which can give you a fresh, vanilla Android UI over Galaxy Gear’s watch UI. By installing APK files to your Galaxy Gear, you can essentially turn it into a standalone Android device.

And of course enjoy regular Android apps not offered by the Samsung App Store. Go to Settings-Gear info on your Galaxy Gear.

You can download Nova launcher APK that I used in the video. If you are using Mac or Linux, you don’t need drivers so skip this step. If you are using Windows, make sure you see “SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface” in your Device Manager. If you don’t see it, then unplug and re-plug the micro-USB cable to your Galaxy Gear. Open a terminal for Mac/Linux or command prompt for Windows.

(If you don’t know how to do this, please Google it!) Next, type: For Windows: cd Downloads cd fastboot adb devices For Mac: cd Downloads cd fastboot chmod 755./adb-mac devices For Linux: cd Downloads cd fastboot chmod 755./adb-linux devices Step 6. Go to your Galaxy Gear and you should hit “OK” when the “Allow USB debugging” window pops up. If the window does not pop-up, try killing adb.exe in Task Manager for Windows or try command “kill adb” for Mac/Linux, and try Step 5 again. Go back to terminal/command prompt and type: adb devices.For Mac, replace all “adb” with “./adb-mac” for the rest of the instruction.For Linux, replace all adb with “./adb-linux” for the rest of the instruction. You should see “device”. If you do, you are good to go! Next you can use the following command to install any APK file you want: adb install PutNameOfAPKFileHERE.apk Step 9.

Once apps are installed, they will show up under “Apps” on your Galaxy Gear. If you installed Nova launcher or any other 3rd party launchers, you will have a choice to select TouchWiz home (which is Galaxy Gear launcher) or your installed launcher so you can switch easily back and forth between Galaxy Gear UI and Android UI. Hey guys just an FYI i got the device showing on my mac by downloading the SDK for android from here and installing When the SDK finishes downloading, Unzip it and the contents of the “android-sdk-macx86” folder into your android folder. When done, open your android folder. Go into the tools folder inside of it. Double click on the file called “android” This file is a UNIX executable and will open within a Terminal window and the android SDK manager.

Check the folder called tools. Make sure both “Android SDK Tools” and “Android SDK Platform-tools” are selected within the tools folder.

Click install and wait. When they finish downloading, go into the platform-tools folder inside your android folder, then copy adb and fastboot and paste them into the root of your fastboot folder that you got from here. Now you can follow the instructions above but now don’t need to put -mac after adb one thing to note i found it was necessary to put “./” in front of the install comand ie. “./adb install” on my mac and you should open your activity monitor to kill the adb-mac or adb process that is running befor looking for the device again. Hope this helps. Not sure man I assumed you where a mac user because you replied to a mac question I guess I would say you should try looking around for a different APK file/ version if your installing via terminal it should not need to reinstall on the watch. Also its normal if you get a no internet on the watch as there is none not sure if there is a bluetooth tethering option yet for this nova install.

Im thinking of trying the Null rom its got good reviews I just Don’t want to lose any of the out if box features when I do. Jon T: Thanks for the response – but I’m using windows 7 – and I have been able to install Color Note and Nova Launcher both with both running fine. However, when I go to install Fleksy – which has an icon on my Galaxy Gear – it goes to step 5 then says “no internet connection.” I believe I have both the “adb” and “fastboot” applications in my fastboot folder.

Again, I’ve been able to install some apps and connect to the device using the command prompt and “adb install” command. Do I still need to add the unix version? Hey you guys, i had a hard time since this was my first time doing somthing like this. But what i did that helped a lot. Is when you get an apk file. Rename it to just one word.

Can Anyone Give Me Some Input On Adb For Macbook

So when you type adb install oneword.apk. U only use one word also put it into the same folder as fastboot. And guy who made this post, it would help noobs like me to say make a folder called fastboot in download folder and put everything in there. If you did say it, i missed it. And i had to figure it out on my own.

Hope that helps since no one here said anything like this. Thanks btw now i have my watch hacked. Ive been putting this off for the whole year lol ty ty ty ty. I need some help here. I followed all steps as explained in the video. When I am running the command “adp devices”, I am getting:.

daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037. daemon started successfully. List of devices attached However on the Gear-s no message is appearing that I have to validate with OK. When I am running the install-command, I am getting “no devices attached Waiting for device”. In windows file-explorer I can open the Gear without any probs an even create folders. What am I missing?

Just got a Fire 8 with Alexa, should not have ads as I paid extra. I had seen this thread prior to ordering and did not read the whole thing.

My optimistic self figured I would get the Fire and within a few minutes be good to go! Planning to mount this to the wall in a permanently powered fashion. What I want is:. Fully kiosk. Actiontiles. Motion sensor enabled to bring up the dashboard when someone is nearby.

Ability to enable Alexa at times. Ability to add other google apps (arlo, Neato, hue, etc) Can anyone give me a quick rundown on how I would need to proceed to set this up manually or point me to a link with a procedure to follow? I have do not use PC’s so I only have Mac’s around the house so the script is not an option. Any help is appreciated! I can start the answer process by specifying the criteria: Based on current ActionTiles Compatibility Access to the image must be via http (preferably https). Rtsp:// is not compatible. Basic HTML Authentication is no longer possible except in some alternative browsers.

Chrome and Android Webview block “http(s)://user:password@address” for embedded sources. We hate that this happened. Thus, the only universal authentication must be as URI parameters (eg,?user=x&pwd=y). The stream must by MJPEG (possibly FFMJPEG).

Other formats tend to be shipped over RTSP or require a plug-in. Best if the camera can be configured with slower frame rates and/or resolution if you display multiple Media Tiles. If no MJPEG, then snapshot mode (JPG,) works quite well Maximum refresh of 1 sec.
