I have Gear S3

It was having exactly the same issue as you described of gear app force closes, I tried all different sequences whatever you thinking of as you mentioned.

My m8 custom rom is heavily tweaked to give most of HTC 10, so here is the similarity with HTC 10 people

So I restored my original unrooted backup and waooo it connect to gear S3, I'm enjoying now but no root no custom roms, may be will try another rom later.
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
It would be interesting, what kind of differences the build.prop shows between the m8 custom and the original.

Maybe, the key is buried there...
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
I read now, that a rooted phone prevented to connect the watch, especially also at the HTC10

Can someone confirm this?

And if so, how could you handle this?

Because of Samsung Pay I guess, it's not unlikely that root is undesirable
[Samsung Gear S3] NOVodkA:
Yes, can confirm. HTC10 Viper 10.3

App crashes, when the watch will setup. Tried any installation sequences, but wasn't able to setup the Gear S3.
[Samsung Gear S3] Ahowe125:
I also had issues getting the Samsung Gear app installed on my HTC10 running Viper 3.5 (Android 6.0.1). I thought it was just because of Root, but I installed the Samsung Gear app on my Stock Rooted M8 and it worked perfect. So I then installed a stock port of rooted Android 7.0 and the Gear app installed fine. So it seems something in the custom ROM caused the app to not install.

For comparison I have a Verizon HTC 10, with a Dev Port of 7.0 rooted and the Samsung Gear app installed. I also have S Health and Samsung Pay working perfectly.
[Samsung Gear S3] Toni10:
Hi everyone, I can confirm that, It has nothing to do with root.

The connection of the Gear s3 works fine with the htc 10 and htc Stock installation.

Tested with Marshmallo and Nougat.

Maybe there are models and brands where the connection with the Gear s3 does not work even under stock installation, but that is different story.

There is something missing in custom roms.

I have now given up my favorite custom ROM, so I can use my watch with the phone.

Hopefully someone finds the solution, so it also works with custom roms.

I have logcats from both connection attempts, Custom rom and stock.

But I'm not an expert to read the logcat and find the Problem.

If someone has interest I can upload it .
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
There are obvious misunderstandings here!

I'm by no means concerned with identifying root as the main cause!

My only concern is to find the reason, or the concret causes for incompatibilitis or misbehavior of the gear app.

So my MediaPadX2 phone is completely stock, and it's only rooted, but Gear App crashes like described.

I would like to get the reason for this

and find a solution

.

If the issue is not caused by root, so all better (for me first)

Now we can summerize:

it is not necessarily to root, and does not occur only with some custom roms

So we are unfortunately not a step further.
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
But I'm still guessing that an unsatisfied query condition of the build.prop is the cause...
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
Unfortunately, I am also no expert

Hi guys,

I am new in this forum and hello to everyone

I have a xiaomi MI5 with the new rom nougat 6.12.15 from xiaomi.eu, it is impossible to connect a samsung gear S3 to a MI5 ?? when i open the gear app on the phone, it crashes and FC

Do you have a solution to make it work with the phone ??

Thank you :)

And merry christmas to all !!! :)
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
You had the Mi5 and the watch connected before the rom update?

Or did you buy the MI5 with nougat 6.12.15 so that it is all stock
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
You've problems with the pairing, too?

Maybe you have the possibility to compare with a working version on the same phone?

Please look, if there are differences of those parameters in the build.prop

http://ausdroid.net/howto/use-samsung-gear-fit-rooted-android-device/

I guess, that there would be a key to solve the pairing problems

[Samsung Gear S3] calvinyip77:
Does someone get solution? I'm using HTC10 Android 7.0 Rooted (Viper 4.4 rom), the Samsung Gear app is forced close when pairing to S3.
[Samsung Gear S3] Toni10:
According to this post by Leedroid, the Problem is the deodexed System.

Since he is a very experienced developer, I am sure he is right.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70259624&postcount=646

From the first day I operated my phone with the Leedroid ROM and was very happy with it.

Now I reverted back to Stock ROM, to use the watch with the phone.

I don't think there is any other solution at the moment.
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
i don't think so!

My X2 has a odex stock rom 5.0, also some other stock shows the same issue

I guess that this idea a dead end, like some say the issue is caused by 7.. nougat...
[Samsung Gear S3] Ahowe125:
Not entirely true.. I have the watch working on a Dev port of Android N for my HTC 10. Like others have stated, it would not work on a custom ROM like Viper. And that was when it was still on MM.
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
And what does that prove?
[Samsung Gear S3] Ahowe125:
In my situation I think it proves a few things. First, it doesn't seem like Root is an issue (as discussed earlier). Second, (in my situation) that something in a custom ROM causes issues. Either something with the build.prop as you have suggested, or something with the odex as others have said, but I have another theory.

What if it all boils down to which phones Samsung has deemed "compatible"? My HTC 10 is listed as compatible on the Samsung website, but maybe the identity of the phone is modified with the custom ROM?

I used this link related to the S2 to determine compatibility.

http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s2/device-compatibility/

I'm not a Dev, only a user who has basic understanding of how these things work, and can only report my situations in order to help others troubleshoot and hopefully find a way to enjoy this amazing watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
Root as error cause I have recently deleted from the first post, so it isnt topic any more

And now again clearly!

It therefore makes no sense at all to see custom roms isolated as a cause of error, because the Gear App crashes in the same way with stock roms with the same symptoms

(I write this, because my phone is completely stock, and I've never asked for the behavior of custom roms in that -> see also post #1)

So the error set over odexed/deodexed roms can only be a dead end

So it does not make any sense, thinking to find the mistake only with the help of a custom rom

A possible solution must be always synonymous unrestricted transferability to not working stock-roms

Please excuse my bad english
[Samsung Gear S3] tommy1945:
Please read carefully - may be is interesting new info:

I bought a Gear S3 and paired it successfully with Xiaomi Mi 5 phone (by downloading the Samsung Gear app for non-Samsung phones). Unfortunately there are still some compatibility problems, here is the list:

1. In order to connect the phone to the car's Bluetooth, I have to first disconnect it from the watch - and vice versa. Each time' of course... Annoying, but works.

2. In order to use the watch with the S Health app, I have to put Bluetooth connection off first. That means that I cannot answer or initiate a call from the watch during my fitness program.

3. If, from any reason (like the distance from the watch to phone) disconnected - they don't connect automatically when the situation changes.

4. The Navigation app built especially for that watch (Here) doesn't work well. May be because there is a catch: if bluetooth is on (on the watch), the GPS standalone feature doesn't work.

I have 2 important remarks:

A. In order to achieve a steady connectivity, I changed a lot of settings on my phone (related to battery performance, in order to keep awake all the time apps like Samsung Gear, Plug in and so. Even than, it disconnects (partly) sometime without reason.

B. That watch works like a charm with my old phone, in all the above aspects (Galaxy S5).
[Samsung Gear S3] calvinyip77:
Is your Xiaomi Mi 5 phone 100% official stock (no root)? I'm looking for solution of connecting to a custom rom (HTC Viper rom)
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
I don't think that this is caused by the Gear App and has nothing to do with the crashes of the app when starting setup, described here

It seems to be a bluetooth error/issue with the MI5 for example

I mean, already reading from this annoying behaviour in a german forum...

They tried to fix it with Tasker and so on, so I know...
[Samsung Gear S3] tommy1945:
Yes, it is the official global MIUI 8 Rom based on Marshmallow 6.01.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

Sorry, but I didn't describe anything like "crashing app when starting setup". But thanks for the info about the german forum - if you have more from there, I would be happy if you will share it here. Anyway, if Samsung declared that the watch works with non-Samsung android phones - I consider Samsung responsible.
[Samsung Gear S3] kajos:
Sorry, my English isn't good

I don't say, that you described "crashing app when starting setup", and this is the problem!

This thread, started by me, is intended to serve for the reasons of crashing the Gear App, when starting setup, not less and not more

Or: why I can't setup my Gear S3 on an android phone with the Samsung Gear App?

Your problem does not really fit here

I have a nexus 6P rooted with a custom ROM "purenexus" latest 7.1.1 and I can use the Samsung app and Samsung pay without any issues. Is there anything I can provide to help you all?
[Samsung Gear S3] calvinyip77:
Good news that a non-Samsung phone rooted custom rom is working on Samsung Gear app with S3! You give me a hope as many people believe it's not possible. I just hope to use S3 on my HTC10 with Viper rom.

I'm not a genius developer, I don't know how to make it work... But I believe here has great developers to solve it.
[Samsung Gear S3] hav0c:
My Gear S3 is working fine with LineageOS on my HTC 10 (root enabled Android 7.1.1) It did not work with Viper or any other Sense based ROM. Don't care because I use AOSP ROMs anyway ;)
[Samsung Gear S3] Rhokk:
Just an FYI... In my case, I downloaded the gear app and started it. It required 2 other items being installed in order for it to complete. Faliure to accept these will result in a force close. After that, Samsung pay can be installed through the gear app. Choosing to install this brings up yet another app needed to be installed. The end result is 4 or 5 Samsung items on my phone.

I used Samsung pay for a few days without issues (works great!) Before trying to get rid of theses "extra" app installs. The whole thing collapsed and ended up having to do the whole process over again. They all are needed it seems.
[Samsung Gear S3] SovPanda:
by default those apps are meant to be installed to use the watch properly and then the samsung push service to use samsung pay. But it is interesting to see "google" phones are working with custom roms and i think samsung phones with custom roms as well. Only issue now is getting non google or samsung phones to work with custom roms

edited: tried lineage as well and worked its weird though using a rom not stock android or the manufacturer stock (can use rooted stock htc 10 with gear s3) causes an issue, I don't think it has to do with the odex or deodex but leedroid is the only one with experience i hope trying to solve it

Gear S Plugin has stopped

Hi Everyone.

I managed to install LineageOS on my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) unfortunately I've tried installing the APK files as suggested in this thread to no avail. Every-time I keep tapping Gear to launch and pair up with my Gear S3 for the first time it keeps crapping out.

[Samsung Gear S3] Tri-DVD:
Thank you so much :)
[Samsung Gear S3] smok3yjk:
I was having the same issue with the Gear S Plugin still crashing. Looks like the modded app that was posted only works with Non-Samsung devices. Turns out the Gear S Plugin also has Samsung device checks and those are what was causing the crashes.

I've created new modded versions of both Samsung Gear and Gear S Plugin that removes all of the Samsung device checks and it is now working on my Note 3 with Lineage OS.

Here is a link to the modified apks. https://mega.nz/#F!8VF2XBjR!3F2Zdk12ynrguOwdOIkvKg

First remove Gear S Plugin, Samsung Gear, and Samsung Accessory Service from your phone. Then do the following in this order.

1. Install resigned Samsung Accessory Service

2. Install modded Gear S Plugin

3. Install modded Samsung Gear

If you're using Lineage OS with Privacy Guard enabled you may need to disable Privacy Guard for the above apps. I find when Privacy Guard was enabled it would cause reboots of my device when apps would try to update on the Gear S3.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

That's because the bootloader expects for signed images for both recovery and boot (kernel). If the bootloader detects that the image isn't signed, it refuses to boot.
