[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
logcat is empty, you most like selected "FC Only" in VenomTweaks, when you took the log.

Did you try to install the new versions linked in the OP? Install all three.

..probably one of them got updated by the playstore and the signatures don't match anymore.

@ All - Without a clock myself, it's impossible for me to fix the different issues people are reporting here. It seems its even phone dependant, since it seems it works for most, but for some not?

What's a bit depressing is, that we got almost 1000 downloads and just a handful positive feedback if it works. I assume it does work for the most, and for those where it's not they reported it here? (-:

Also reporting that it does not work, does not help. Provide a logcat each time you have an issue.

Look in the first post here:

Download works, I just tried it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2mecky:
I used it on my rooted samsung device (which was a huge problem as the gear app didn't play nicely with custom roms on samsung phones). Anyway flashed the latest lineage for kltedv and the Gear apps from this forum. I did have to modify bulid.prop and substitute any reference from samsung to htc but it's working pretty well. The only thing I've noticed is although I still receive phone call notifications on the watch I can't use it to answer them or make them, which is no biggy for me. Apart from that it seems fine. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the work you've done.

Hi I installed the 3 APK's you modify for non Samsung mobiles and the Gear S3 is working now but the thing is the Samsung Store to download the Watch Faces is not working. I get only blank screen is there any fix for this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
doubt it. I had to resign the apks.seems the store does not like that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2mecky:
One issue I have struck is that the Watchmaker companion app for the S3 won't install on the watch. It causes an FC on the phone when I try. Any ideas appreciated. Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Black-FR:
Upload a logcat of the FC.

Else the dev can't tell you anything about the issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2mecky:
Not sure whether I've captured the information on the log or not. Set the log to record, then tried installing the watchmaker companion app which caused the phone to crash and this is the log that resulted. I couldn't attach it here because it was oversized for XDA and Pastebin so here's a DropBox link to it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0midbkk875vwh6u/2017-03-28-12-46-53.txt?dl=0

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
the phone crashed or did the watchmaker app crashed?

Unfortunately theres not much info in the logcat.

Just try to log the crash/force close. You did the log with adb right? I don't trust those logcats apps out there.

adb logcat > log.txt

now reproduce the crash

ctrl+c to stop the log

upload it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2mecky:
No, I used Matlog and had a hell of a time getting a small enough log to be able to post it. The phone random reboots in the middle of installing the watchmaker companion app for the watch. That is I can install the app on the phone but the problem arises when installing the companion app to the watch. I'll try adb tonight when I get home from work. Thanks

other thing: on the venomhub, there is still the previous version of the gear app ;)

and anyone else: after the update (apps update, and the gear os update), everithing works fine, but the S Health app on phone could not read any data of activity. It see the s3, and says "syncing", but after it there is no data from the watch.

Tried to reset the watch, delete the app data, delete all of gear apps and reinstall them, but nothing works yet :(

Anybody with any solution for it? :fingers-crossed:

UPDATE:

something messed up :(

- i did uninstalled all the Samsung apps (plugin, gear manager, accessory service,s health)

- unpaired from bluetooth devices

- did a reset on watch

- and a fullrom dirty flash

tryed to reinstall the apps, but the gear manager doesnt installed (got error message when using the "package installer", and did nothing, when i using the classic installer)

So i instelled the previous gear manager from here; the updated s plugin from here, and the accessory service from play store.

Now, i am here when i come from, the phone and the watch seeing each other, and get notofications, etc, but the health app cant get any data :(

any suggestion from anyone? :)

(( here is a bug report about the updated gear manager install fail ))

S Health sync problem

Yesterday, i've done a fullrom clean install (with system and data wipe), to see if the health sync works with a "clean" os.

The result was the same as before (couldnt get any activity data), so i restored the os from twrp.

The S Health app works with/in the same Gear ecosystem as the plugins (accessory, gear plugin), so i just wondered, myabe worth a try to resign the health app with the same signature as other samsung apps?

im a really dumb in any kind of prorgramming and codes, just try to get a sloution for this sync problem (i used it daliy when it works). :)

i've made a logcat about the faulty sync progress. [MENTION=4905624]j to the 4n[/MENTION] could you take a look of it, if you get some time for it? you might find the reason of the malfunction. :fingers-crossed:

Wow Jan, I remember a few months back for my wife's new HTC 10 and her Gear S2, I spent hours trying to figure this problem out and finally "fixed" it by installing the Play Store versions of the plugins, and then an older version of the Gear app that I have saved to her SD card in case I need to reinstall it once in a while. Now that I got myself a Gear S3 Frontier, I was wondering if anyone figured out a better fix.

And lo and behold, Jan from Team Venom just happens to be the guy who fixed it! You're really freaking amazing, you know that?

What phone? If you're​ using a Samsung you need to edit the build.prop. If not a Samsung phone then I can't help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigboss954:
Thank you, I did the build.prop and switch everything Samsung to HTC. The app now works. But my new issue is Bluetooth. It connects and disconnects and I can't get messaging on my watch. I can receive a text but can't reply back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2mecky:
I'm on Samsung as well (KLTEDV). I downloaded these modified apps but before opening the Gear app I did the build.prop edit (Samsung to htc - all lower case) saved and rebooted. Opened the Gear app and factory reset watch. Once all installed make sure whatever texting app you are using is activated in notifications (in Gear app). Works fine (reply included) for me using Textra as my sms app. From memory it's not so friendly to all SMS apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hynar:
Samsung Health sync now works again :)

:victory: YESSS, GOT A WORKING SOLUTION FOR BROKEN HEALTH SYNC!!! :victory:

so.. the starting point is:

- HTC 10 (+Viper10 ROM) with

Samsung Gear App: 2.2.17022862

Samsung Accessory Service: 3.1.39_170322

Gear S Plugin: 2.2.03.17032442N

It works, got the notifications, etc, but cannot sync data with Samsung Health (since the last updates on late march / early april).

Tryed (almost) everything to fix it, include the full clean rom install on the phone, many of watch hard reset and soft reset, unpair / repair, etc, but nothing helps on the sync issue.

Found a hint on Samsung forums, and i cant believe, but its works, now my phone and watch sync again. :good:

steps:

- backup the Gear S3 on phone (Gear App / settings / about gear / backup and restore)

- unpair the watch in bluetotth settings

- on settings / apps - celar data in Gear S plugin

- uninstall gear s plugin (Gear app, Accessory Service, Samsung Health stays untouched!)

- full reset on watch (settings / gear info / reset gear)

- restart phone

- pair the watch with phone trough the Samsung Gear App

--> in first settings, got an error message, because it needs the Gear S plugin, but it cannot download it, but its paired now in bluetooth settings

- now i installed the newer version of Gear S Plugin (2.2.03.17032461) -> now, its didnt drop error message as before :-O

- try again to pair the S3 trough the Gear App, and now, its working, and restored the backup

- in the end, i did restart the watch, and the phone too before i tryed the health app again, and YESSSS, its working, got the health data from the watch :)

hope, it helps for other users :)

got this hint from this post in Samsung forum :good:

(its for S6, but with the same problem, so i thought i can give it a shot, nothing to loose. but it WORKS :laugh: )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] karaf:
I was so happy reading the message. But it did not work on my phone.

I applied the steps one by one, but failed to load Gear S Plugin v.2.2.03.17032461.

Something like "Package conflicts with another package with the same name"

I tried it all over again, but it did not. :( :crying:

Maybe I can try again the next time I reset the phone.

My Phone: Samsung GT-I9505 (Rooted, Resurrection Remix v5.8.2, Android 7.1.1)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hynar:
Its really sad :(

the s plugin isn't a system app on Samsung devices? can you uninstall it at all?

(as i read on samsung forum, they can uninstall only the updates of it, not the application)

i think you might check the original post what i linked, and maybe ask that community too. ;)

hope you'll find a working solution ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] karaf:
My rom is custom rom, not original.

This is why gear apps are not system applications. I can uninstall all of them.

I will follow the thread on the Samsung Forum.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] supernet2ec2:
Edit Apr 23rd Afternoon:

So i figured out how to get the Gear S3, Gear Fit2 application working on a Rooted HTC10 (Sprint_HTC10_2.42.651.63) version of Badboyz Rom. Basically you need to manually modify everything yourself, and not rely on the maker of the rom to do it for you. In my case i strictly used a Stock rooted Rom, at SOURCE, Using Rom at Bad_Boyz_Sprint_HTC10_2.42.651.63_Stock_Rooted.zip with the Tether Hack applied. Now The key difference is what was applied to the rom. The second its given a different identity in the rom setup the Samsung Gear application automatically fails no matter what, with minor functionality thanks to the removing of the line of code j to the 4n removed. Adding into this, you need to manually tweak your stock rom to do what you want with out a resigned rom, strictly for HTC10, not sure on other devices as i have not tested this beyond testing with my, HTC M7, HTC M8, HTC A9, and HTC 10.

Instructions weren't clear, basically whatever rom your using, flash its STOCK version, then Install the tweaks as a .ZIP not the .zip rom so that the stock rom signature does not get tampered with. This was the cause of my issue with all my Samsung Gear devices failing to work with the device.

Edit Apr 23rd Morning: able to confirm this also allows the Samsung gear fit2 to work but with limited functionality. https://xdaforums.com/gear-fit/help/samsung-gear-app-crashes-connecting-to-t3588252?nocache=1 where I posted to help someone else inregards to getting their fit2 working on nougat

It works~! Now is their anyway you can make it so that sending pictures & music to the Gear S3 is possible? Im using a HTC 10 BadBoyz Rom, but the samsung gear application fails to update any application on the samsung Gear S3 Frontier, it also does not allow me to update or install any app's to the gear device, nor Transfer any music files, Photo Files, or updates to the Gear S3 watch, or Watch applications itself.

Attached are examples including all your modified apps being installed (With only the modified samsung gear being neccessary to get my phone to work with the Samsung Gear S3 as well as the Samsung Health modified apk that allowed me to transfer my health data to the samsung health app.) [IMG="Img1"]https://scontent.fphl2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18058113_10154762241688822_3531546650518918516_n.jpg?oh=3ef1dcbb7e241ebbee05bd63fddf359d&oe=598F6A9D[/IMG] [IMG="img2"]https://scontent.fphl2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18034224_10154762241843822_5126668919881150280_n.jpg?oh=7819e5451d429fb70246ada7bdae4249&oe=599B0F7F[/IMG] [IMG="Img3"]https://scontent.fphl2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17952885_10154762241978822_5493091722416403311_n.jpg?oh=bef5d61770fdd751ea6f6309247716cd&oe=598735CF[/IMG] [IMG="img4"]https://scontent.fphl2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18010697_10154762242048822_2812698578143088330_n.jpg?oh=02bd5a4a08139a524b470d0f38c5ca63&oe=598E23E1[/IMG] [IMG="img5"]https://scontent.fphl2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18034326_10154762241553822_6910639981486706067_n.jpg?oh=39043ac37aece1cf670896b77ff4a6eb&oe=599B4120[/IMG]

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] caesar68:
Had the same problem a few weeks ago. Created a logcat and had a look to it. It seems that the WLAN crashed immediately after transferring the app to the gear starts. The crash of WLAN leads to reboot in the end. So I disabled the WLAN in the moment the download of the app was successful and transfer to gear starts. Then it worked.

It is some effort, but a least I got the updates...

I searched a bit further and found out, that newer versions of the gear app and the s-plugin app are available, but google did not allow anymore to install/update it via play. So I organized the new versions of the app from alternative sources and the problem is finally solved.
