[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
i was wondering about the build.prop file myself. Its the key for getting wear running on a phone that isnt a samsung, i know that, but samsung is the only phone with an e-fuse, so how is knox enforcing security on LG phones? Huaweis? Xiaomis? etc etc
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] jaroulz:
It might be a stupid question but once I've done all of this and managed to start the Samsung app, can I revert the file build.props to what is was before? Or does it need to stay like this forever? Using the Magisk Props Mod, how do I revert back to the original build.props file? Is there any backup file somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] truckeeaviator:
I haven't tried to revert to the old prop. I believe you need to keep the modified version cuz the wearable app is checking the type of phone you have. If you didn't make a backup you would need to reenter everything how it was manually (always back up system files if you modify them). Also, to get all the features to work properly I needed to download and old version of wearable app and the plugin app, otherwise the play store version constantly crashed. Good luck hope it works for you as well!

The best , safest and easyest way

Guys i found a safe and easy way to get app work on my havoc rom

Just install a cloner app (like parallel space) and run the app through the cloner and it works fine!:)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Efuses exist on many devices now. Including lg. That's how they implement anti roll back and locked signed bootloader's. It's more of a root check than anything.

We've had Sammy wear working on rooted devices across the board. The even apps less than the stated required 1.5 gb ram
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
now, if only Sammy would do something about the train wreck called Tizen LoL!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
I wish they would improve on it in many ways. But all the watches I've had tizen is the most efficient imo
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
Tizen has its perks, but wear was just so much more versatile when i was running it on my Gear S2 Neo. Loved it!! I am fond of Tizen in several ways too, but man... they gotta fix it LOL

I am using a S6 and had the same problem with Resurrection Remix 7 as well as LOS 16 when following the guide.

With some trail and error I finaly can run Wearable app. Starting from a bootable installation of LOS16, I manually edited System\build.prop and System\Vendor\build.prop. I replaced all occurences of "Samsung" with "Google" and set ro.product.model and ro.product.vendor.model to "Pixel 3".

It also seems to be importent to set the permissions of both files correctly, ie. System\Vendor\build.prop to 600 and System\build.prop to 644 (eg. with CHMOD within TWPR).

Whats not working for me at the moment is the galaxy app store, so I can't download additional apps to the watch.

Best regards, SG

AFAICT you need to instead (uninstall GPlay one) get BusyBox by flashing a zip https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239421 HTH

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] zyxwz04:
Thanks for your reply.

I already installed LOS latest version, and when I install Magisk on my phone, Magisk says phone is not rooted. Am so confused haha.

I cannot sideload apps either because I cannot process CMD.

got lamed. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] wodinotus:
No worries - "it's all part of the journey" ;) I'm not experienced with Magisk, but it has many different aspects and modules (like Hide and perhaps the above BusyBox mod). So perhaps "not rooted" just means that bit providing the su command has not been activated, Anyway, as XDA has heaps about Magisk, perhaps I can only ensure you've seen the guide https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk

Re "cannot sideload apps", do you mean the adb sideload command to TWRP (or LOS Recovery) with the BusyBox mod .zip fails? (What does it say?)

Or do you mean you've enabled Settings:Security:Unknown Sources, but LOS doesn't install downloaded APKs? If so, you could try "adb shell pm install com.example.MyApp" as per https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#issuingcommands (Probably need to give ADB root authority in Developer options while doing that.) HTH
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] zyxwz04:
Let me be just clear of what and where I am right now.

I already installed LOS (ROM + LOS recovery itself)

for installing zip files, needed to sideload via LOS recovery, correct me if am wrong.

So, am being stuck on how to sideload (install zip files thru LOS recovery) as it requires to do ADB

Downloaded the necessary for the ADB (installer, drivers, add/edit, etc.)

plug my phone to the PC and start the basic commands, usually does not show my device, it says invalid command.

I tried and read carefully, watched videos, tutorials, it does not work.

Maybe its a good idea to hope that someone help me up, like a real-time support because I just really need the Galaxy Wearable App to work, I have Galaxy Buds and Watch Active 2.

Unfortunately, as you mentioned that you need to do the hiding in Magisk in order the app works on custom ROMS.

Appreciated your reply and help.

well after an update of wearable app its not working anymore but for other apps you can use the app named

" Parallel space"

its not really an app cloner its more likely a vitual phone that runs apps and games with a different google play services information and device specs

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Jenkss:
Just a quick reply.

This worked perfectly with my S9 running LOS17.1, Magisk v20.1 and using the Material Terminal app.

I originally thought it would be easier to revert to a stock ROM to get the app working correctly. Went through the trouble of trying it. Couldn't even last one full day dealing with OneUI before I reflashed LOS17.1.

Tried this method out, turned out WAY easier than I thought it would be and now the app works with my Buds+ AND I don't have to use OneUI.

Thanks heaps mate :good:

I just followed these instructions to the dot and it worked! Im using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 running on Evolution X 4.4 and Magisk 20.4

(Note: Ignore the "Improved Hiding" step, as it is not available in the main menu any longer)

Thank you so much for this fix :)

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

One added benefit, this method also allowed me to pass SafetyNet check :) Originally, it was "ctsProfile: false" and basicIntegrity: true". After flollowing these steps, both values are now true. This also allowed me to download Netflix straight from the play store. 2-in-1 fix i suppose. Wonderful! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] bomfa84:
Guys I followed this instructions to change my samsung build props to the google pixel 3 model and now the SafetyNet check passes with success :)

However I am still not able to pair my Galaxy Watch with my S10+ phone. It find the watch, I confirm the pair code and it got stuch on the "pairing mode ..."

It simply does not pair at all!!! Even if I find the watch on bluetooth paired devices, it does not connect.

Also, on the "config -> about" my phone is showing as Pixel 3. Does this makes any difference on other apps as well?

I mean, will it prevent me to use any samsung specific feature for example? Like a camera improvement or something?

S7 SM-930 F, Galaxy Watch (E336) SM-R800, LineageOS 16.0, Magisk 20.4 works fine

Hi there,

here are my experience.... I edit only with "Root Essentials" ro.product.brand and ro.product.manafucturer into google.

I install Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) and hide it in Magisk. Clear AppCache if necessary. Start the App. Installation of Samsung Accessory Service, Galaxy Watch Plugin takes place automatically. Follow the instructions of the Watch. Control if Apps habe all permissions. The Watch install the Galaxy Store internal. Make Updates and backup the Installation in your Samsung Account.

Thanks to all writers. Great job. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] JanusDC:
This is a great idea! However, Samsung Wear also need another app called Galaxy Watch Plugin, so I would have to clone both apps, randomizing the device (the app cloner does not let me chose a specific device), and I am not sure if it will work. I will try it and let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] JanusDC:
I reply to myself: Did not work, exactly for what I said: two apps.

I have set the fingerprint to Pixel 4 XL, ro.product.brand and ro.product.manufacturer to google, and everything work as expected. However, I have noticed a lot of heat and a moderate battery drain... Does anybody have a similar problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] 73sydney:
You only need to change the following props...so make less work for yourself

ro.product.manufacturer

ro.vendor.product.manufacturer

i just change both to Google via MagiskHide Props Config

Theyre the only ones ive ever needed to change on my Note 4...without these 2 changed on Android 10 i cannot run the app, with just those two changed, all is perfection

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

You cant clone the wearables plugins, so cloning will fail

Just use the MagiskHide Props Config method, its the only reliable way
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] JanusDC:
With the stock ROM on my phone, my Samsung Watch worked without problems. With custom ROMs (tried three already) and the props modified as proposed (all of them, or only those two), the phone overheats quite a lot and the battery is drain very fast.

Not sure if it is due to the the plugin consuming too much battery (the battery report in the settings does not show that in any case), or if it is that with these props modified the OS is constantly checking something. I have no idea, but this is why I was looking for another method not changing the props.

Hi. I'm not it specialist. Could you please explain how to

Open a terminal emulator and run "su" then "props",?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] patryk1502:
this works 100%

Here is what I did to get my watch to work.

Download from play store build prop editor.

Allow build prop editor root access.

Search Samsung replace samsung or the brand of your phone with htc ( not the model and the brand must be in lower case )

Reboot

Download Samsung accsessory service, galaxy wear app, gear s plugin or any other plugins, Samsung health ( if you want health, Samsung pay won't work ) from the apkmirror

Install apps in the order same as above.

reboot again

set up your watch.

complete the installation of the watch if it hangs close the app. and open the app again if the app still doesn't want to connect start and the app again and then it will complete the installation of your app (this woke me up this way)

My devices:

Samsung S10 Plus (SM-G975F)

Samsung Gear Watch3

Enjoy.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ViRUS2015:
Same here. I have a Qualcomm S9 with LineageOS and after doing this it bootlops. I tried following all the steps first, and then only modifying ro.product.manufacturer without luck. Now I'm going to try again without modifying the fingerprint part first to see what happens.

EDIT:

I can confirm that it works without modifying the fingerprint, only ro.product.manufacturer to google.

Here are the detailed steps that worked for me without causing a bootloop:

Flash Magisk with TWRP.

Install the "MagiskHide Props Config" module from Magisk and then reboot.

Open a terminal emulator and run "su" then "props".

On the main menu, choose "Add/Edit custom props".

Type "n" to add a custom prop

Modify ro.product.manufacturer to google

Reboot, install Galaxy Wearable from Play Store and it worked like a charm! :D

I changed those 2 properties to Google on my Galaxy S5 (G900F) running LineageOS 17.1 today and Galaxy Wearable is working now. :)

I did notice that the phone/battery was hot after applying the mods. Will need to monitor if this continues.

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

I see now that some are having success without changing the finger print. Might try that if the over heating problem persists. Don't know if this will help though...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] 73sydney:
There is absolutely no reason why changing those 2 simple build props would have ANY bearing on heat issues....
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] hscheff:
Agree, but I was wondering about the finger print change.

Does not make sense to me that any of the mods suggested here to get Galaxy Wearable working on a custom ROM would cause heat issues, but the heat problem on my device surfaced during this process and others mentioned it in this tread as well... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ButterRhopa:
People who get troubles in pairing with watch could try this:

1、reset watch

2、download Samsung Accessory Service、Galaxy Watch Plugin and Galaxy Wearable from PlayStore

3、convert these three apps to system app, A magisk module called App Systemizer can do this

4、open Wearable and try again

Works well with Samsung S9+(Lineageos 17.1 from this: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/sam.../rom-lineageos-17-1-s9-s9-snapdragon-t4093301) and Galaxy Watch 1.

One week later and I thought I should just mention that I have not had further heat issues (Device/battery does get hot while charging, but that has always been the case).

Hi all,

Maybe someone knows how to figure out a solution to my issue. So I followed the instructions in this thread and it worked perfectly for the Galaxy Wearable application, however, none of the applications can now access any of the selfie (front) cameras.

I'm sure that the issue is specifically with these props as, if I restart the device into the system without root - the front camera works flawlessly.
