Trial and error. Download and install like normal. Gear manager plus the extra files. Best chance of getting it working is to go with older version (before v2)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 754boy:
I'm running NullRom on my Gear 1 and was wondering which Gear Manager would be best to use. The latest one doesn't work properly with it. It'll connect to it but after that, I get a device plugin mismatch error whenever I start it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pizza_pablo:
How can I prevent an older version of Gear Manager from updating itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TRoN_1:
From everything I have been reading on this forum, Gear Manager will not work on a GPE rom, only a Touchwiz rom. I finally got it working on my S4 with a Lollipop touchwiz rom(5.01).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pizza_pablo:
Which ROM and what all did you have to do to get it running, please?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] andrewbat:
Gpe / touchwiz

How did you get it working?

My rom is a GPE rom but is is Touchwiz based...not an original GPE.

Having said that others have the watch synced to non Samsung phones...so would love a heads up on how to do that...

Plllleeeeeeeease anyone
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TRoN_1:
My S4 is an i337M(similar to an i9505). I installed this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-lollirom-0-99-alphatest-t3023387

Then I installed Gear Manager from here:

Then I installed S-Voice from here:

So far my Gear 2 Neo is working great with Gear Manager on that rom. Notifications work and more important, S-Voice works. Good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] The_SilverOne:
On lollipop I have been trying to connect my gear. Used all gear managers I can think of with their respective apk. I had it working (somewhat) on a gpe rom , after a painful trial and error process to get rid of fc and no plugin error. I got it, but many things weren't working like weather and s voice. I then installed a touchwiz lollipop rom and now I can not get by the "no plugin" error. I tried a lot of versions of gear manager, currently in latest. I get a no plugin but instead of being sent to BT screen I'm put back into gear 'select device' screen. Any help please?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I got my Z3 running stock 5.0.2 to connect to galaxy gear (not custom rom or touchwiz)

I haven't got notifications to work. Haven't tried svoice or weather, but imagine they need the full apps

Running 2.2.15022599

Galaxy Gear with null 23

Working: phone calls, contacts, pic/video transfer, clock changing (pretty much everything except those three listed above)

saprovider sometimes crashes but not sure what it does

In my downloads, I have included all 11 files that gear manager downloads

Files obtained from a i9505 running 5.0.1 and running well

Haven't transferred over gearmanager stub yet, but it is included in the downloads (lollipop handles system apps differently; all in own folder)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] The_SilverOne:
Hey,

I dont know if those were there before but thanks i didnt see them there. Only problem is that it wont install gear1 plugin. It says app not installed. When i tried adb install I get a permission error:

[INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERIMSSION perm=com.samsung.android.permission.READ_BT_ADDRESS pkg= com.app.gearnfcwriter]

EDIT: lol. after writing that error out I realized that Gear Tag Writer has the permission conflict, uninstalled and Gear1 plugin works.

EDIT2: all plugins installed, cleared cache and rebooting. will report back... BTW doesnt someone on xda make Gear Tage Writer>

EDIT3: Got gear connected finally. But No weather (fixed) and no Media Controls, and now it wont reconnect on reboot. saproviders and goproviders fc on me on manual connect. Any Ideas ? using albe95 lollipop rom on i337m

Whenever I would get any of the provider force closes it would always mean horrible battery, I mean you could almost watch it going down. I would like to get rid of my note 3 and get either a z2 or z3 but my gear has kept me in tw land. Like to hear what your battery life is like.

Host manager has stopped

Hello Brendo and thank you for your work.

I have a HTC One M7 and a Samsung Gear 2 Neo that worked together when the phone was on KitKat.

Now on Lillipop I tried your latest Gear manager an I first installed all the apps from Download folder, the those from Extracted and then I installed Gear Manager apk.

The phone see the watch and tries to pair but it start saying that "unfortunately hostmanager has stopped".

I tried both with gear plugin and Gear1 plugin and still the same error "unfortunately hostmanager has stopped" and also some times goproviders has stopped.

Any ideas how to make it work?

Thank you.

Fixed-hostmanager has stopped

Fixed it :D

I installed all files again (latest version) except host manager.

After I opened Gear manager when tries to install Host manager I pressed home button and went to my file manager and installed Host Manager 2.2.14100299, then come back to gear manager and pressed cancel on installing Host manager, and after I wait few seconds it asked me to accept the terms and then everithing worked great.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] The_SilverOne:
Yeah, my battery life doesn't seem to badly affected by all the FCs. Mind you I do have tasker stop all gear manager related stuff when the gear disconnects, or connects to my cars BT (I have noticed a lot of connection problems with my car when gear is connected). As fart as battery life, my phone usually lasts about 10 hours, sometimes 8 depending on how much I use it, and for what. I have drained my phone in as little as about 2 hours doing some heavy downloads, gps and streaming , with lots of background crappola running. The longest I have had it last with minimal use and the gear connected, was about 16-17 hrs. Again, I have well over 450 apps on my phone, many of which start on boot, run in the background and a few that wake-lock the device, along with many tasker customizations to maximize batt life; so your results may vary. Hope this helps somehow.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] swagatsourav:
i am having issues with y gear 1. i recently upgraded it from android to tizen and currently using tizen mod rom 3.0 by skin1980. I have issues with Bluetooth auto connect . Previously on android, when i go out of range and come back the gear reconnects to my Bluetooth and the gear manager shows that immediately . But now , the bluetooth connects fine, but the gear manager doesnt see that, and i have to click on connect . Many a times it doesnt it connect and keeps saying connecting to the gear. If i have turned on my gear and then turned on my bluetooth on the phone, previously on android the gear automatically reconnects but now its a nightmare. I have tried numerous resets, reinstall on the gear. I have also removed gear manager and reinstalled everything. Any help please
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Not sure what version of android is on your phone but I have noticed with lollipop I have reconnection issues. Samsung acknowledged the issue and released a new gear manager back a while, now after updating I have it again. Might be worth tracking down the older version and trying it. Here is what I was referencing.

What works for me is to download version 2.214112899 from here and install this over my working 2.1 versjon while still offline. But say no to all the extra modules that it asks to install. Then it thinks its on a 2.2 version and the icon changes, but it is still mainly on 2.1, working and never asks again :).

Be sure gear manager is in data/app or else i think it will force install those extra apks anyways whithout asking and it stops working. ..

Hello, i am new here and i am sorry because my english ist not so good :( .

I want to do this with my HTC M8 (5.0.2 Stock, Root) and with the Gear2 Neo. I used version 2.2.15022599 of gearmanager and the Hostmanager (all files in the folder from the downloadpage was isnatlled) crashs, than i used Hostmanager 2.2.14.100299 and Gear 2.2.15022599 and it crashs again. With othe Hostmanager and Gearmanager versions crashs the Hostmanager again. The Gear Manager Stub (lollipop) is in the system/apps folder and was installed. can anyone help my and tell me what versions are working or a step by step tutorial. I try the insatallation of the Hostmanager bevore and after I start the Gearsoftware.

The Buildprob fole was also change for Samsung device GT-I9500.

Thankyou for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] htcoveblue:
I can't seem to get there. Would you be willing to provide which steps you took? Did you use GearManagerStub.apk? Which one? Where did you put it? Did you change notifications? Install it?

I used the Lollipop GearManagerStub.apk and put it in the System/App folder and changed permissions. It wouldn't install and it wouldn't stay there after a reboot.

I installed all 15 apps from 2.2.15022599 except HostManager. I used the version you suggested. I didn't do anything with Build Prop.

I can receive calls but I'm not getting any notifications. Any ideas? Also, can anyone access the Gear App Store? Mine isn't showing so I only have access to the included apps.

3. Install all apks without Hostmanager.apk and at last the GearManager. the saproviders 2.0.434.apk(what do this file) from the donwload folder crashs after installing.

4. reboot

5. start Gearmanger and paar the gaer 2, then when it try to install the Hostmanager i went to the file from this page and istall this.

6. back at GearManager the host manager crashs now. and crash again and again. no conction to the gear. :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cipylyca:
No I didnt installed GearManagerStub.apk. First I deleted all the files that previously was installed on phone from gear manager (settings-apps-delete everithing related to samsung gear), then I installed all the files from latest version of Gear Manager without Host manager and I installed last the gear manager app.

Then I open the gear manager and connect to the watch, when tries to install host manager press home go to your file explorer and install host manager 2.2.14100299, then come back to gear manager (double tap on home button) and press cancel on installing the host manager, wait and it should ask you to accept the terms. After the watch is connected select all the apps at notifications. And that was all for me.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] theone_2708:
Update:IT IS WORKING ON ANDROID 5 WITH HTC ONE M8

I found my problem and now the Gear 2 Neo works with the One M8 on Android 5 with Notifications. The first prpoblem was the i have change the build.prob, so the Hostmanager crash everytime. The Second thing: Do not install the GearManagerstub.apk and use the latest Gearmanager with all files but without Hostmanager. When the Gear is conncting and the GearManager wants to install the Hostmanager, install the Hostmanager 2.2.14100299 manually. After that went back to the GearManager puth the back Button and the Watch is connectin after a crash of Two apps. Activate the notifications in GearManager and under Phone Settings (by me -> no Notifications). Then I restart both devices und install the crashed apps again, and after few secound I become Notifications from all apps.

Thank you cipylyca for your help!

Next step: Apps

Hey!

I wanted to thank cipylyca for his method; now I can finally use my gear again (Original galaxy gear, Nexus 5)

I cannot install apps though, and I was thinking of trying some of the older framework apk's to see if it would help, as an older hostmanager helped in connecting it.

Does anyone know which of the frameworks (In the extra apk's) are responsible for transferring files to the gear?

Appreciate any help.

Has anyone successfully connected a gear 1 with an s4(i9500) using cm12 or 12.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mr8th:
OMG, my Gear 1 it is working with OnePlus CM12s! Will post Details later..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mr8th:
Gear Manager latest version working w/ Lollipop CM12S OnePlus One (Gear 1)

I finally made the Gear Manager (latest version) working with my non-touchwiz device, running Lollipop 5.0.1 CM12S (Oneplus One). Using my Gear 1 (with TizenMOD) I didn't realize that upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop will turn my Gear 1 into a Dumbwatch! I should have read through this forum earlier!

Anyway, there is a way to make it run under CM12S again: everything works the same way as under KitKat, including notifications, Sync pictures & audio from the Gear to the phone, taking calls and installing 3rd party apps on the Gear. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any step-by-step guide, as it was more a trial and error way that eventually worked out. But I guess, you could give it a try !

Basically, it's a installation of the latest Gear Manager 2.2.15022599 but using older versions from saproviders, goproviders and hostmanager APKs. You'll all find these versions in the 1st post from Brendo (mediafire).

Here are the version that I have installed and running on my device:

Connection Manager 0.9.66

Gear Plugin 2.2.15022599

Gear software update 2.141213.2191

Gear Module 2.2.15022599

goproviders 2.0.434

HostManager 2.2.14100299

NSyncProvider 1.022

Samsung Accessory Service 2.15.97

Samsung Gear 2.2.15022599

SANotiProvider 1.0.9.45

saproviders 2.0.87

SASystemProviders 2.3.26

svoiceprovider 1.0.3

TextTemplateProvider 2.5.0

The GearManagerStub.apk is not required.

Quick Installation guide (please read in more detail here in this forum):

Download 2.2.15022599 APK File from Brendo Mediafire

Rename APK to ZIP file

Open ZIP File in ES File Explorer, navigate to assets > GearModuleApk

Install all APKs manually (not all will work, never mind)

Older APKs might have a different tree structure (assets > preInstallApks // Gear2Apks

Do a 2nd run with installing all APK again (especially when there are new access rights requested by app!)

When all APKs from the ZIP file are installed, rename file back to ".apk"

Install the main APK

When searching for devices, tap the watch icon on the Gear about 30 times. you'll get a message "press BT within 3 sec.." Then immediately, try to connect the Gear Manager with the Gear

Then, the Gear Manager wanted to install (a newer Host Manager). Do not click OK. Instead, I installed the older Host Manager (version see above) manually, then clicked Cancel/not install.

After a few seconds, the licence agreement pops up - you're done

I remember that I had big problems with the goprovider.apk and the saprovider.apk. They crashed every second (!), and I needed to deinstall them. Using an older version finally helped! Surprise, even the SMS reply with TextTemplates seems to work fine! The Weather app and the S-Voice is not working. Hope, this will work for you as well! Let me know, if something is unclear - Good Luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] McAwesome123:
Hey, thank you, the gear finally connected to my device but I can't receive notifications on it, any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mr8th:
Great! You need to go into your phones setting, notification manager, Message access, then enable Gear Manager. Also, in Gear Manager you need to choose the apps which notifications you'd like to see on the Gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] shpitz461:
Could you create a zip with all necessary files? Trying to connect a Gear1 to an HTC M7 on LP, bluetooth pairs, but Gear Manager is never able to connect, it just shows a spinning wheel...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mr8th:
Try to tap the watch icon on the Gear about 30times. It'll say "press BT within 3 sec..". Then press connect on your phone.

Problem with my phone (w/ Lollipop) was that apks kept on crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] shpitz461:
yeah, I tried that, but it doesn't help. I did have some apk's crashing, I'll need to figure that out...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ebere62:
Hi, guys, now i am going to describe my method of connecting my Gear 2 to my HTC ONE M8 (5.0.1 stock not rooted) which is working fine for me. First i installed GM of the previous version from Brendo's Mediafire (v.2.2.15011799) - first GM apk, then GearManagerStub and then all the apk's from ExtractedApks. After that i connected my Gear fully reset via GM application - you should be careful to refuse all the updates the GM application may request you to install. After accepting the license agreement you will get hostmanager crash but do not mind. The watch is well connected and many things work even now. (Do not forget to check the notification permission for GM in your phone settings). But every time you trie to run GM in you phone you will get hostmanager crash. To avoid this just install Gear Manager apk of the latest version from Brendo's Mediafire (v.2.2.15022599) plus Hostmanager apk from ExtractedApks in the same folder. Thus you will get rid of hostmanager crash and be able to change Gear setting via GM application. After that you may install all the other apks from ExtractedApks, but mind to refuse all the apdate requests that GM may ask for during the next start.

Hope this will help.

Finally I connect my Nexus5 5.1 with my gear but I can't receive notifications on it, any idea?

I go into my phones setting, notification manager, Message access, and then I enabled Gear Manager...the same in Gear Manager setting... but I can't receive notifications

UPDATE: I deleted all app cache of the list previously and then I deleted all apk, I re installed all and then it works
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] LaGauloise:
Thanks.

I have a nexus 5 lollipop latest version.

It's working, expect for notifications.

So I wanted to uninstall everything but I'm facing an issue uninstalling HostManager 2.2.15022599, to be able to install the HostManger 2.2.14100299.

I can't find HostManager in my apps.

HostManager is related to notification ?

If yes, how should I do to remove this version.

Thanks ;)

Hello!

I was reading your guide to reconnect my galaxy gear, and you wrote that you used older versions of certain apps (saproviders, goproviders and hostmanager).

But I noticed that you listed goproviders 2.0.434, which is the latest version. Was it this one that you used? :)

Appreciate any reply.
