Recently Samsung announced that they have sold 800 000 Galaxy Gear watches, and rolled out an update that allows the watch to show any notification, which is a significant usability enhancement. Well, the good news keeps on coming for owners of the Gear, as the first custom Rom is now available for those that like to flash and tinker with their devices.
The ROM is called Null, and is built by Australian developer FOMEY. Null features Nova Launcher, video recording increased to 60 seconds, live wallpaper support, a full featured web browser, Google Play access, calendar/contacts sync and more. It also has Bluetooth tethering, so any device that has Bluetooth can support the watch – a major advancement as previously Samsung limited support only to their top tier devices such as the Note 3 and Galaxy S4.
If you are confident in your flashing skills, Null is available on XDA here. A video demonstration of the download/recovery mode of the Galaxy Gear is here.
