Same happens on Custom Roms on Note 3. I can't figure it out.

I'm willing to pay someone 15 bucks if they can get the Gear Fit Manager working on custom ROM, non Touchwiz. On my note 3.
[Samsung Gear Fit] wolfie77:
Did anyone manage to get "App Connect" to work? :( I keep getting an error message saying my device is a non-samsung device.......
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
I'm running the GPE rom on a HTC One. Either way it didn't work even on the Sense Rom.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Using what app? Strava?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Just an idea. Go into your build.prop and change all the model number, model id, and all that stuff to match a HTC One or any other phone on this list really. Uninstall all the apps, reboot, then try again.
[Samsung Gear Fit] wolfie77:
Any app. I've tried strava, gear fir share, calender with gear fit etc, but can't seem to get any to work with my z1 compact. Nothing happens on my fit when I click on app connect and it keeps giving me "vender is not supported" or "your device is not samsung device" error messages on my phone :(
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
When I click on app connect all I see is just the apps with a on/off button. How do you actually launch the app? Or can you even?

EDIT: Found it. You just click on the name. But I see what you mean. It says "Vendor not supported" for me as well. I wonder if I change the build.prop to be a samsung phone if it works. Let me test that.

S4 4.4.2 Google Edition Custom ROM

Noob question here... have being using two different 4.4.2 Google Edition Custom ROM on my S4 (Jamal's and Danvd) and on both I'm having the same error: the application closes with "unfortunately, gear fit manager has stopped" on both, right after the first sync, when responding to that Legal Notice (to which you can accept two, and then said you agree with the above statemens).

Tried several versions of the Gear Fit Manager (from 1.29 to 1.49 and then the latest 1.50), and the results are exactly the same, at the exact same point.

The Gear Fit itself was updated to the latest firmware on another S4, and it connects with no issues to the 4.4.2 from Samsung - but no success on the Google custom roms.

Any idea on anything else I can try?
[Samsung Gear Fit] PhilPan:
Having similar issue with custom ROM, but you are getting a bit further then me. As soon as I start the Gear Fit Manager up, the Bluetooth kicks on, and it forcecloses....I'm so tired of running Touchwiz. Let me know if you figure something out.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Okay, so the common theme is that both are Samsung devices. Did you try what I mentioned earlier?
[Samsung Gear Fit] PhilPan:
Didn't do it yet. But do you think changing the build.prop to a non Samsung device, for a device that is suppose to work on Samsung devices would work?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
No idea. But what I see is that both Samsung devices running custom roms fail with the Gear. I would try it. Let me know if you need the exact values.
[Samsung Gear Fit] PhilPan:
Yeah please give me values, and it's been awhile since I messed with the build. Prop. What's the best way to go about it.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Okay. So here's something else. I changed my build.prop to a S4's build.prop and now the Gear Fit Manager crashed. So it's definitely the build.prop.

Here are the values that you need to change. Just download "Root Explorer" and open build.prop with the built in text editor. (Hold build.prop then select "Open with Text Editor").

ro.product.model=HTC One

ro.product.brand=htc

ro.product.name=m7_google

ro.product.device=m7

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

ro.build.product=m7

Change whatever you have to these. I'm 99% positive this will work.

EDIT: I'm not sure which one of these values actually trigger the crash, but to be safe, just change all of them. Root explorer will automatically create a build.prop.bak file in case you want to switch back to your original one.
[Samsung Gear Fit] PhilPan:
OK that stopped the app from force closing, but now I can't connect with Bluetooth
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Whats the error?
[Samsung Gear Fit] PhilPan:
Working thru the issues, but Gear With Fitness doesn't seem to be working.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
It doesn't work.
[Samsung Gear Fit] outerheavenmaster:
YAY!!!! It worked!!! Thank you so much! YOU ROCK!
[Samsung Gear Fit] :
Sorry, you mean, if i root my M8, i change the build.prop, i will have auto reconnection and no disconnection between the M8 and the Gear fit?? Please say yes :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] PhilPan:
Yeah it doesn't seem like it. It won't pull the data in like it was before.
[Samsung Gear Fit] dtosun:
Anybody TRY it FOR xperia z1 Compact? If it is working well, i Will Buy it:)
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
The auto reconnect doesn't even work with Samsung phones.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Demian Yun:
LG Optimus G Pro working!

LG Optimus G Pro (F240K) + Gear Fit working ok!

S Health light (Fitness with gear) install success.

but s health lite does't sync with gear data and gerar app (like Strava) is crash.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Yeah sadly that doesn't work. Ill upload a quick screenshot of Samsung's code soon.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
ALL:

This is why apps don't work (like strava). Anything that uses the Gear SDK has this file in it. It checks the build.prop for these two fields. If I change the build.prop, it accepts it and the app starts, but then the Gear Fit Manager app force closes. Here is both the java source and the smali source. Maybe someone on here can help remove the restriction.

JAVA:

Moto G No Problem

I just got myself the Gear Fit and out of the box it doesn't support KIES3 update. Although KIES3 detected it but then it specifically mentioned that it cannot update the product. So I had to find someone with a Note 3 to update the Gear Fit and it works when connected to my Moto G. Initially without the update, it just won't connect as per what had describe in the first page. All is good with Moto G. :good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] PiTRiS:
I just made Gear FIT Apps working. Or at least the Calendar on Nexus 5 :)

As mentioned earlier, it's just editing the build.prop.

I used values used in SGS5 (the most simillar device) seen in this screenshot:

http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-transform-your-galaxy-s4-into-an-s5

What i changed are those values:

ro.product.model

ro.product.brand

ro.product.name

ro.product.device

Everything else left intact, restarted the phone. Gear Fit Manager works fine (without reinstall), Calendar on the Fit the same. Will try more of the apps.

Unfortunately, Fitness for Gear is still not getting data, guess there will be some bigger issue...

EDIT: tried some switch app for tunring off wifi and sounds on mobile and works as well
[Samsung Gear Fit] mhonard:
Tried the fit on my Droid Maxx running KitKat. None of the location services stuff works as mentioned above. I can live with that however 2 other issues I ran into. Bluetooth doesn't automatically reconnect when connection lost (deal killer). Also could only get military clock mode (minor but annoying issue). Any ideas on how to fix bluetooth connection issues?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
There's no fix. It doesn't work on Samsung phones either. For the 24 hour time, I've found that it happens sometimes too. Just either reboot the gear fit, or disconnect and reconnect again. Check your time settings in your phone's settings too. Try toggling 24 hr time.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
THANKS! These values worked. I'll be sure to update the op with credits to you. Thanks again.:good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] mhonard:
I've had different results. I also have a Samsung S5 and Bluetooth disconnect/reconnect works perfect.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Really? If you go out of range and come back it reconnects? On a Note 3 it only reconnects if you turn off bluetooth and turn it back on, and that's working here too.
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
I have S4 and I don't have any problem with reconnection. Everything works well.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mhonard:
Thanks "Try toggling 24 hr time." fixed that problem.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

Yes without a hitch on the Samsung S5
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Hmm. Not sure why it doesn't work with a Note 3 then.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mhonard:
Are both KitKat. S5 is
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Ah. I forgot that it was a custom rom on the Note 3.
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
I think that custom ROM is the problem in this case. ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
Hi fellow Gear Fit owners,

Coming from Gear 2 / Neo space, there is a similar tutorial over there. I think you can utilise some advices from there, e.g. to how to make Samsung account work, gaining ability to synchronise your fitness activities to your account.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Thanks. I was able to do that already (it was in the OP a while ago, but I deleted it since it didn't really do anything), but for some other reason, fitness data still doesn't sync.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mhonard:
Unfortunately I can't root my company phone so Ill have to do with some issues for now.

Anyone figure out how to automate reconnection of gear software when link to watch is broken. Seems bluetooth is still intact but for some reason software becomes disconnected and requires a manual reconnect. Perhaps tasker somehow?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Tasker might work, but the battery drain will be huge if it's constantly searching for it.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
Hey Gear Fit boys, can you tell what Bluetooth profile Samsung use to connect Gear Fit to the phone? They use Phone Audio for Gear 2 / Neo, which is not ideal, but at least can be understood in light of the fact you can actually conduct phone calls on the watch. But if these geniuses have done the same on the Fit, I'm speechless...

I'm going to publish a detailed guide on how to manage Gear 2 with Bluetooth earpiece and in car audio, probably Gear Fit folk can benefit from it as well...
[Samsung Gear Fit] mpogr:
I just published a guide on using Gear 2 with other BT devices, you guys might want to check it out. One thing we could add is reconnection back to the Gear after a while.
[Samsung Gear Fit] :
Thanks but, even if i'm not a newbie i don't see how to make an automatic reconnection after a BT disconnection between the Gear fit and the M8.

If it can be done through Tasker, i dont find how. Would you make a script, just for that, to help?

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
There is a way to have the reply SMS and the wheather by installing a s4 or note 3 or s5 laucher(with accuwheather) and the samsung apk message?
[Samsung Gear Fit] i_takeitall:
Hi..how much this device?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
That might work, but currently the Samsung Messaging.apk can't be installed on other devices because of the touchwiz framework.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
How much is the gear fit? Doesn't really belong in this thread, but it's $199 USD. You can convert that to your local currency.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
I wouldn't use that if I were you. If tasker is constantly searching for the gear fit even when it's at home and you're somewhere else, all that will do is drain your battery. I'm not sure how samsung does it, but it doesn't work on custom rom's even on samsung devices, so it must be a BT LE thing. (bluetooth low energy).
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
Have anyone tried to istall all the associate apk with the Samsung account (i've seen on a s3 that on setting, alla app, there are 7-8 app called Samsung account)

Maybe if we istall all these app the Samsung account could sinc and fitness with gear could work

Someone can try?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
I tried that. It still doesn't work. It must be the shealth APK that's connect to this somehow. No one has ported that over to any other devices.
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
ahd what about the allarm clock? Is there a way to have vibration on the gear when we set the allarm on the phone ?
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
What do you mean with "Gear with Fitness doesnt seem to be working"?

You managed to start the Gear Fit Manager, right? But you can't connect it with your Gear fit, or what?

Or do you mean, that the App "SHealth" still doesnt work?

Background: I have a s3 mini with android 4.4.2 custom rom and want to try to "transform" it into a s5 with changing the "build.prop". Do you think it's then possible to get the manager started and connect my phone with the gear??
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
Ok, finally I made it! Get the Gear Fit Manager and SHealt Lite (also known als Gear with Fitness? is that right?) working on my S3 Mini, but still don't know if i can connect it with a Gear Fit, since I have none. I still have some troubles with creating a Samsung Account with the S Health Lite App. When i tap on "create account" nothing happens. I reinstalled it, but still the same problem :-/ Anybody else has this problem and could give me a solution?

Regards, zack
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
You need the SamsungService.apk, but it still doesn't work with that, so I wouldn't bother with that yet.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Even on Samsung phones you need to be using the Samsung clock app, so until someone figures out a way to port the entire touchwiz framework to other devices, that isn't going to be possible.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
Thanks for Info! That means, that i can't use the Gear Fit with my phone, or is it still possible to sync the Gear with the Health Lite App without a Samsung Account? Or is there any other program which is able to sync the data from the Gear Fit?

I was so proud, that i geht the Gear Manager and Health Lite running on my S3 Mini, because i found anybody who has done this yet, and now such dissapointment :crying::crying::crying:

EDIT: i managed it to add my samsung account to my s3 mini settings, also to the s health lite app. now the app says: "to view your data, please connect your mobile phone with your gear fit". that sounds not bad. finally i have to try it, if its really working with a gear fit in a samsung store. it would be nice if someone could post a screenshot with the s health lite homescreen, so that i can see if it says the same thing as it does on my phone. thanks :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Currently, there isn't a way to sync the data between the fit and s health. All the app says is "No Data" for each of the sections.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
that sounds not nice :-/ did you try it yet?

before i get the manager and s health running on my s3 mini i also read everywhere "no, that doesnt work" and so on.........
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Here's a screenshot.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
mmhh.... which mobile are you using?

could you connect it with your gear fit manager?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
HTC One. And yes, it's connected.
[Samsung Gear Fit] tonime:
LG G Flex not work any notification.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
but there are several reports on the internet, that the gear fit is also working with non samsung devices, including the htc one. are there maybe any other apps, that could sync to the gear fit?
[Samsung Gear Fit] KOLIOSIS:
I believe notifications will work once the FLEX receives 4.4.2 KIT KAT.On T-MOBILE w/the FLEX,still waiting for KIT KAT.....
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
I've tried to make allarms work by install this touchwiz stock clock.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/ported-touchwiz-clockpackage-apk-v2-4-t1639750

I put it in system app, chance permission, and copy the alarm sound in media/alarm

When i open gear fit manager in notification appared the clock icon , so i made an attempt to see if the gear vibrate when the allarm rings but when it's time to ring the application crash.

Maybe someone more expert than me could find a way to nave finally the allarm notification works.

Thank you!
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
No I think you misunderstood. The gear fit works with the HTC one. Everything that is said in the op works fine. Just the fitness syncing doesn't work. No one has gotten that to work.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Maybe because someone else on here confirmed that it was working.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
Sorry for my questions all the time, but i didn't just get it...:confused:

What exactly works with the HTC One and the Gear Fit? I thought, if you couldn't sync your Gear Fit to your mobile, it is useless? How can you then view your Fitness Statistics, etc.....
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Read the first post of the thread. Towards the bottom it says what works and doesn't work. :good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
Thanks, i read this post a few days ago and forgot that its existing :D

Still one question: Why it isn't possible to set up the Gear Fit with my Gear Fit Manager on my S3 Mini? It seems to me that this App works normally... Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
I think that Gear need at least 4.3.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
Yeah, but i have 4.4.2 on my S3 Mini. So do you think it would work, without using a S5 to setting it up?
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
As I said in the op, you need to use a supported Samsung device first, then you can use your own.
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFletch:
Yes, the alarm works great, but only the Samsung clock not others, as of yet.

From my Galaxy Note 2
[Samsung Gear Fit] KOLIOSIS:
My apologies,that someone was yours truly,my mistake. :o

I was testing two phones back-to-back (G-FLEX & M8) & when I saw the drop-down menu open to select which apps to select for notifications,I guess I jumped the gun,thinking I had seen notifications being pushed to the FIT w/the FLEX.

It's even less functional w/the GEAR2.

I can't even get the drop-down menu to open up on GEAR MANAGER to select any apps to push notifications to the GEAR2 w/the FLEX (running stock 4.2.2 JellyBean).

Again,to anyone this may have affected,I sincerely apologize for the errant information.
[Samsung Gear Fit] wolfie77:
Alarm works for me on my sony z1 compact. Just have to select both "alarm" and "clock" under notifications in your gear fit manager.
[Samsung Gear Fit] prtl:
I really wish this would work for me. This is the one feature that I am really wanting to work! Glad yours works though!
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
Your alarm works fine? How? Have you made something or alarm works with stock clock z1 application? And in this case can you share your alarm clock apk file with us?

Thank you
[Samsung Gear Fit] PiTRiS:
guess it works fine, as long as you dont use sleep mode and blocking mode... which defies its purpose :))
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
Works fine what? I just install z1 clock but when alarm rings gear doesn't vibrate
[Samsung Gear Fit] dtosun:
I have z1 compact also. Which one do you have? Gear fit OR Gear 2 OR Gear 2 neo? Everything is working well with z1 compact? Your feedback important FOR ME TO decide Buy it OR not.
[Samsung Gear Fit] wolfie77:
I've got the Gear Fit. Alarm vibrations on my gear work for me, both in and out of sleep mode.

Using the basic clock alarm that came with the phone.

Can't connect my fitness/sleep data to my phone, but apart from that everything seems to work fine.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zack89:
Thanks so far for Info!

Is it also possible to set up the Gear Fit with a S4 Mini the first time, or has it to be a S5? Because the S4 Mini is officially supported concerning Samsung website.

Is it also a bug, or why can't i scroll down on my S3 Mini in the S Health App. I see "Pedometer, Training, Pulse and part of Sleeping". Are there more things on the bottom or is that all that the app provides?

Thanks! zack
[Samsung Gear Fit] pRo_lama:
Original S Health has more options. But with Gear Fit you can use only "Fitness with Gear" which is S Health Lite with these 4 options. ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:
could you share your allarm clock apk please? i would like to test on my nexus 5
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Any supported device is fine.
[Samsung Gear Fit] riffetto90:

could you try to apply this to gear fit ?
