Nexus 7 + Gear 2

I've been trying for about a week and a half to get this method to work on a Nexus 7 (2013) and haven't had any luck. Are the Gear series not compatible with tablets at all, or am I just missing something?

Altering the build.prop just got me a soft brick, which I flashed my way out of. Thank you, Android Toolkit and ParanoidAndroid. Should I try altering it to a Galaxy Tab 8.x ID instead of a Galaxy S-series?
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
No luck
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
No luck? Come on, I'm using that gear manager on my LG G3 without problems.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Your one of the lucky ones. I was 2 on my z ultra without build prop edit but then stupid update screw everything cant even downgrade hostmanager persistently force closes
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
You need to uninstall first all the gear manager stuff and then install this one.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
I actually did that first i wipes data and caches of all gear apps then unistalled them the intsalled this version no luck host manager pains me ill try one last time
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
Did you install host manager like system app? If you did that uninstall first.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
No i just installed gear manager an it installed everything else. Actually i just uninstall all gear apps and redid manager but it just fc. I do rememer an allinone apk dont think is this one that i used before which worked but cant find it now
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
Well, this is an all in one apk, a few pages back you will find an older version all in one.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Ill try that cuz tbis no workie have connecting forever issue and i installed all apks manually which stopped fc inddint instqll host manger

My watch is on tizenmad rom i probably have to unroot and try to see if thats the issue should nt be a problem
[Samsung Gear 2] ffarber:
This worked for me on an Xperia Z2. However, the problem with simultaneous use of a Bluetooth headset is a show stopper for me. This all worked perfectly on my S4 and I looked everywhere on that phone for an apk that could solve the problem without success.

I am stuck with my Sony SW2 which works fine with the Z2 but is not as nice a watch as the Gear 2 Neo I have.

Thanks all for the information.

Fred
[Samsung Gear 2] Sublim3_Tilt:
I think the simultaneous bluetooth issue is Kernel related. It always works fine on TW ROMs. I was using the Tasker profile workaround to disable that connection upon incoming call. I have since gone back to a TW ROM so everything is working as it should.
[Samsung Gear 2] ffarber:
You are probably right about TW ROMs, so I am stuck on the Xperia. I have resisted learning tasker as just another time sink, this may be the issue the pushes me over the edge. I am going to try and pair my headset to the watch to see if the watch will direct phone audio to the headset. Has anyone tried that (sorry if this is already discussed in this thread and I missed it). I will report back.

Fred

Tried my experiment and it didn't work. No option for routing call audio through watch to headset.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Yeah ived tried that the the call audio will still route to the watch the headset to watch is only for music stored on watch which is stupid im sure they couod hqve made it for calls also these companies have so much money but make such limited devices

Samsung Apps - no Elements

I did all steps in the right order, but when I open Samsung apps to download gear manager, it says that there are no elements and the search-option isn't availlable.

Does anyone have this problem, too?
[Samsung Gear 2] trapdogg:
There is a gear manager.apk posted on page 67 by Jamie give that a try
[Samsung Gear 2] HurriCaneEB:
Ok, thank you very much.

I'll give it a try.

But with that solution, i always have to update gear manager manually, right?
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
How to use that? Should I place it on system/app-priv and fix permissions or just install it? Could you please provide some instructions?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
Just install the apk.
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
But should I follow the OP's steps first? Or just go straight and install the apk? Thanks
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
If you want install the connection fix, and then this apk.

To use Samsung apps store you need to edit your build.prop , or install tizenmod and use the aps for that Rom.
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
What tizenmod version are you using? Do you recommend to edit build.pro or to flash the tizenmod? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
No, you can flash tizenmod 3.0 without change your build.prop, thats only necessary for use Samsung apps on non Samsung devices
[Samsung Gear 2] andrew.mackew:
Got it thanks, but I wonder if do I still need these files:

A. Samsungservice

B. Samsung Apps

C. S-Voice_Android_Phone

D. GearManagerStub

E. S-Voiced_Signed
[Samsung Gear 2] jamm513:
I don't think is necessary, but is better to install. If you are going to use Samsung apps you need to install that files.

[Samsung Gear 2] kc2kzz:
I have found if you open the gear manager and it asks to update, All you need to do is bring up the task list and swipe it away. Then when you reopen it, it won't ask again to update (until the next day).
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Do you get any force closes qnd which version qre you using

Hi, really great tutorial

1. I CAN'T FIND GEAR 2 IN GEAR MANAGER!

ridiculously, gear 2 connected to my phone via Bluetooth, checked in system interface. But in the AVAILABLE DEVICES in Gear Manager, it shows: No devices found.

2. GEAR MANAGER FROM Samsung Apps Store is only 6.9M?

Gear Manager from XDA are always 36M+, wtf is that from Samsung Apps Store? Some missing in the official pack?

I think that an update for this thread will be very welcome. Actually I tried a few variations in my Note 3 using CM11 with old and new apk from samsung for gear, provided by a dev friend of mine.. and many fc's just stopped to happen. I couldn't, however, get to synchronize fitness. I will ask the guy how shared this new gear package to upload it and share this content here.

Anyone get to use fitness app?

Notice: This method (all methods) is (are) Currently Not Working for all non samsung devices.

Samsung basically ****ed us when they switched from samsung apps to galaxy apps. This killed all devices that were working just fine.

People are working on it and i'm fairly certain it will be resolved, but is it going to be worth it? They are just going to break it again anyways. Maybe its time to switch to an Android Wear Watch instead. Too bad HTC decided to wait, but it was probably for the best. The MOTO 360 is starting to look like the best option especially now:

While not ideal, following the instructions in this thread I've been able to get things the basics (as described working), and I've been able to install new apps by sideloading them (after pulling them from the Galaxy Apps cache). So this at least makes the watch relatively functional, though still far from ideal.

Just wondering guys, does anyone know if anyone is working on getting Gear Manager to work on android 5.0 devices? I have a nexus 6 and cannot use my watch. :( No APK out there for Gear manager will even open. I am guessing that is because of ART being used instead of Dalvik. My last hope is that when Samsung updates their Galaxy series to 5.0, it will work then.

Galaxy apps

Hi all !!! (I'm sorry for my bad english)

I have a htc one and i can now use samsung apps or i will say Galaxy apps with the forced update.

It's ok for all but i must to have gear 2.0 and not gear 2.2 (hostmanager bug and bug and quit all time with it).

Now, my question is ... Why for (not all) application in the galaxy apps, it make downloading and the installation is failed, all time i test to install this ? (Fitness, update s voice, and other apps.)

"Failed to installation, please downloading (0) ".

i can't get Fleksy messenger for my gear ... (it must be update and failed too when i install the fleksy 1 tizenmod).

P.S : S VOICE say me on the gear, it must be installed on my phone ... And it is on, and it work o_O
[Samsung Gear 2] pavlos46:
OK if I may try to help.

Firstly since you changed build prop to access galaxy market and the gear manager the hostmanager will crash continuesly, and since you cannot establish a connection with your gear any app you download will install on your phone but not on the watch gear, so it's useless, unless you manage to sideload the wgt file directly on the phone.

Only thing you can do is to revert your buildprop back to your original one and reboot, your gear will then connect and work just fine without any hostmanager crashes, but you will then lose access to the galaxy market.

Hope I helped.
[Samsung Gear 2] shinsplit:
Hi there,

Could you please try to help me too? That would be great :)
[Samsung Gear 2] stickounet:
Hm

pavlos46 thanks but it's not the matter.

I think i'm very bad in english LOL.

My connexion between Gear and Phone is OK, at all time.

But if i've got samsung Gear 2.2 on my phone, it don't work because hostmanager crash. I've got the Gear 2.0 and it work "fine", i've resolved this matter not very well, but resolved for that time. But if a men have a solution for have the V2.2don't crash, i listen him :)

The real matter is :

IN galaxy Apps, some applications don't want to be installed . For exemple : fitness and fleksy messenger ...

Galaxy Apps say at the end of download "Download Failed .Try again later (0) " . (But the download is complete,it's when that installing)

I can't have sms on my gear :'( And i've test other sms apps and it's the same matter.

My build.prop is yet samsung. i haven't touched this for have galaxy apps.

I have sleeping and i think my english is better today than yesterday haha !
[Samsung Gear 2] pavlos46:
Ok about 2.2 crashing, it appears that Samsung has implimented some secondary security on version 2.2 that is not fooled by the built.prop change we propably need a full S5 rom to compare in order to fully understand. One solution if you have to have 2.2 is to change back to your normal bult.prop and it will work but you will lose the galaxy store functionality.

Now about the apps that donnot install its because some apps have two pieces one apk that loads in your phone and one wgt Tizen that loads on your watch. Tizen apps have signatures and thats why they crash only solution in to follow tizenmod manual to remove the signature using the SDK.

[Samsung Gear 2] stickounet:
Thanks for your answer !

Ok for the 2.2 but for my apps ...

I don't understand the explain for remove signature (google translate are not good to for this explain :'( ).

And the matter is i can't download the tizen apps fleksy ... As result i can't remove the signature to an apps who i don't have lol. (latest fleksy messenger).

Can you help me ... again ? :angel::angel::confused:
[Samsung Gear 2] pavlos46:
Ok load 2.2, go back to your own build.prop so it wont crash.

And next try the tizenmod 3 (firmware) , on the available apks the app you are looking for is included.

However if I do the process of having Samsung apps gear manager force closes and says my phone is not supported while having any data on. I can turn off my data and gear manager works. Of course the apps I download works and gear 2 works. And updating to the new gear manager 2.2 I get host force close all the time.

Samsung apps missing in gear manager how to fix it?
[Samsung Gear 2] fernandogdl:
Possible Fix to new connection issues!

Hello All.

First of all, i'm sorry for my english, i'm not a native english speaker so be patient.

This is something i made to fix the connection to the Galaxy Gear, first my experience: i have a moto g and mi wife gave me a Gear 2 Neo, after reading this tutorial i could pair it, install apps (from page 30 tutorial) all of this with the version 2.0 of the gear manager etc etc. but now my Gear Manager keeps updating to the latest version and by doing this my Gear 2 Neo stops working, so i have to uninstall and reinstall, fix permission etc etc,... so i tried to fix the newest version of GM and i couldn't and i have come with a solution.

This should work for new/fresh install and if you are having issues with the update, just delete all traces of the gear manager and follow this tutorial.

First of all i created a flashable ZIP file to install from a custom recovery to make it really easy and fast, i created it with my files working, and permissions corrected and all, i created it with ZIPme Beta app so this is Beta it could not work on all phones, but i created it from a working configuration.

All you need to do is download the Flashable Zip from this link (download the entire .zip, do not download the contents separately):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1DWr48Pe4HLc0V5MTMxS3pVWlk/view?usp=sharing

place that file in the root of your SD card or internal memory, reboot to your custom recoovery i have CWM.

install the zip file (i assume everybody here knows how to install a zip in a custom recovery, if not just ask)

reboot the phone, this SHOULD install, all the APK needed to connect, included a 2.xx version of the Gear manager and Galaxy apps.

After everything is installed, go to Galaxy Apps, and disable automatic updates

to avoid future unwanted update of Gear manager, if Gear manager updates, the coneccting issue will return, you just have to do anything in this tutorial again.

PLEASE NOTE:

This is the first attempt to create this file, it worked for me, and i created it from a working configuration it may NOT work for all phones, this is for a Moto G, if the samsung account is with my data included, please log off and log in from your own account, i have way to test this.

If there are any apk missin or any missing feature i forgot to include in the file please let me know.

I sure hope this helps anybody having issues

I haven't tried Tizend mod, but i read about it, and one of the main reasons i didn't wanted to install the tizen mod is becasue of the difficulty of installing apps, it is possible, but as far as i know you have to do another method like sideloading, that's why i didn't want to try Tizenmod, my configuration has worked for me flawlessly and i'm happy with it, if you want to give it a try you can install the ZIP i shared with a custom recovery and test it.
