Gear smartwatch has some awesome features, but unfortunately, Samsung Decided to limit its compatibility to only Galaxy devices. And not even all Galaxy devices, just a few with Android 4.3. Not only does this limit the amount of money from Samsung can make the watch, but it keeps people from using Also What Could be a good product just because They like other devices.
However, the developer community has done it again. Some folks have Figured Out How To Get The Galaxy Gear mostly working with the Nexus 5, an AOSP device with absolutely no previous support for the watch. It’s a bit of a long process taking Involving APKs out of a file and installing them all manually. But once everything is installed, the Galaxy Gear will work! Everything but S-Voice and Weather will function as it should.
Strangely, this method does not seem to work on many devices, but it’s been proven to work with the Nexus 5. But do not expect it to work forever, the Samsung may make any changes to the Gear Manager app may break this compatibility, Whether it was intentional or not. So do not go buying the Galaxy Gear to use with your Nexus 5, but if you happen to have a Nexus 5 alongside the Samsung device, this will be an awesome modification for you! Hit the source link to find the full instructions and give it a shot yourself.
