Hey Guys,
I've recently rooted and installed Cyanogenmod on my S4, thinking that once I have 4.3 on there, I could now use my Samsung Smart Watch.
I managed to find a Galaxy Gear .apk and installed that. When it runs and tries to connect to the watch, it fails every time. I was going to try and install Samsung Apps, then download Galaxy Gear from there and try again. But the only one I could find was from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277473
And that APK won't install using APK Installer. (Just says: "X App not installed.")
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with the S4 and the Samsung Smart Watch. Or knows of a different way to do this. I'd love some help.
Thank you
The Samsung Watch is most likely not going to work with cm since the watch and its software is propriety. You will need to use a stock Rom base 4.3.

I thought I read people were getting it to work once they had a rom with 4.3.
That's a bit disappointing. Thanks though.

I'd like to know this too. It seems odd to me there isn't a simple way of converting a normal S4 to a Google Edition version...
I would love to know some info about that too.
You can't convert s4 into a gpe this has been answered already. .... partitions are different and if you try to change s4 partition you'll Brick your phone... We know it's same hardware but just Google and you'll see why it can't be done ...
Only a custom rom will work. ..jamal2367
Has one working but it had some bugs still

I agree with @frnkly and you have the choices now :- Flash custom ROM or get a Google edition smartphone

I recently installed a custom rom that is cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy s4 sgh-i337m (Canadian version from bell). It is a great rom but the only problem I have is that I don't have samsung features such as air view, air call accept , smart stay etc. Can someone tell me how I can get this features on my phone? I have clockwork mod touch the newest version and my phone has rom manager and supersu.

They are TouchWhiz features. in order for them to work you have to be on a TouchWhiz ROM as stated. So no, sorry but you cannot get the features on CM 10.2
There are some features like the ones on touchwiz available on the play store. I know something like smart stay is on there. Of course they won't be from Samsung but they will do the same thing, and you won't need to suffer with TW. Stroll the play store for the features you want and see if they fit your needs

I wanted to know if there's a way to get S Note from the Galaxy Note working on the S4, I was able to use it when I had an S3.
Thanks
Find the app you used for the s3 and install it the worst thing that can happen is it doesnt work?

Already tried that, it didn't work, I'm guessing it was because the apk i tried was from JB 4.1.2 and I think I need a version for 4.2.2, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Try the one from the Note 3 then. I know its 4.3 but as previously mentioned, whats the worst that could happen. I have a few things working from the Note 3 on my 2 that seem to work great regardless of 4.1.2 framework.

Any ideas for the S-Pen? I don't know if there is a special software program out there to make it compatible with the s4. But had a nite one and so i miss the pen oart of the program. I got two brand new s-pens from att with the holders wish are exoensive and estimated it at $99.99 each so i really hate to waste them. I suppose i can hi to att and sell them back and use the credit towards something else. But if you know if there's a way to use them with the Galaxy S4 please don't hesitate to let me know . I woukd greatly appreciate any feedback you can give me!

Hey Guys, Any idea where can I download the official Samsung ROMs from? I am not looking at the leaked Kitkat version of the S4; but a standard one which comes on built with the phone in the US. The deal is that, I am kinda bored with my Google Play clean software on the S4; I want to try to install the original software on the S4 (i9505G) and kinda try the gesture recognition apps etc. Any inputs?
Yeah Sammobile.com has all stock roms to be flashed with Odin.
