Install Custom ROM in Samsung Galaxy Gear

Installing custom ROM's over smartphone's isn't a new thing we know about, but what about a wearable gadget ? yes, the new Samsung galaxy gear smartwatch has already ready for a custom ROM treatment from XDA developer fOmey.

The Samsung  Galaxy Gear was shown disappointing numbers of sales. Despite what Samsung itself might be saying, many believe that the Korean company knows that it is just putting out a very expensive public beta of the device, with a more polished version already in the works for next year. There is no denying that the smartwatch, in its current incarnation and with the current software, is quite limited, even with the possibility of sideloading some Android apps on it. Even the latest update didn’t significantly improve the device.

As for  the limited support over Galaxy Gear, the XDA developer fOmey created this ROM based on a relatively less known MK7 ROM. Simply called “null”, the ROM brings in a notable number of features that potentially makes the Galaxy Gear a bit more interesting. First and foremost, it allows the installation of other launchers, and in fact Nova Launcher comes by default, and native Android apps. But it also allows Bluetooth tethering, making it possible to browse the Web on the smartwatch, provided your smartphone and data plan allow it. Nonetheless, the device is, of course, still limited by hardware and physical constraints.

Given that the number of actual owners of a Galaxy Gear is relatively few and that those willing to flash custom ROMs on it are probably even fewer, it remains to be seen whether this ROM will have any positive impact on perception of the device. However, those who own one and are already suspecting Samsung’s abandonment of the public prototype soon, the null custom ROM provides them with a bit of a fallback in the future.

so the real question is are you ready to try out this Custom ROM over your Gear ? i might suggest you stick around with old one. but if you are still curious i won't stop you.  the full instructions,  ROM download link and change log are over XDA forum link below.
