[Q] App Installing issues

Hello! I'm new to XDA Developers, so pardon my noobiness.
Basically, I purchased a galaxy gear off ebay, but my samsung galaxy S3 is only running 4.1.3 as stupid Telstra have not rolled out the 4.3 update for the S3 GT-i9305T. I was able to connect my galaxy gear to it by installing gear manager, and most features work... except the apps. When I try install an app, this error comes up: "Installation Failed. Try again later.(0)" and I have no idea what to do.
Basically what I'm wondering if there is a fix for this, or if it is possibly to somehow install 4.3 if my carrier hasn't rolled it out yet.
Thanks!

I remember reading on this forum (either in this questions sub-forum or in the General sub-forum), others have talked about apps issues with different versions of gear manager. There is a thread in the General sub-forum that talks about different versions of gear manager. You guys might want to look through that thread and see which version of gear manager works best for your needs. I say that because I remember others were saying that the newest version of gear manager is not necessarily the best at keeping all the apps you installed.
good luck guys.

I think your situation may be a little different than OP's. From your sig your gear is rooted with null rom 26 (btw where did you find that, I thought the latest null rom is only 23?), so you would have a custom recovery on your gear already. Then all you need is to load the apks through bluetooth file transfer on to the gear, and intall it from the gear directly, you don't need gear manager at all for this.
As for why your s3 is not recognizing the gear, I am not sure. I had my note 2 on dn3 kitkat with latest gear manager (1.7 something I think) connected to my gear on null 23 rom and everything was working, including bluetooth file transfer, and I was able to install apks by bluetooth file transfer and then install from the gear itself.

Where are apk files saved?

I think the apk files are stored in the download folder or bluetooth/download folder. Sorry can't remember off the top of my head. I just upgraded my gear to Tizen yesterday, so I cannot check.

On my note 2 with dn3 v4 beta 2, the downloaded apks from my playstore are in root/factory, different devices may have it in different name.
If you are talking about apks downloaded from internet or transferred from PC, then it most likely will be in root/sdcard/download folder.

I am not sure why your s3 does not connect to the gear, sorry I cannot help as I do not have a s3. one would think it is capable as I have seen gear with null rom connected to s2 before. Perhaps someone else who has a s3 and gear can chime in and lend a hand here?
One thing though, if you have apk's that you would like on the gear, I would recommend staying with android for now, as Tizen is still too new, and of the few apps thats available, they are all from the official Samsung Store, at the moment we cannot install third party apps without going through Samsung Store on Tizen.

Connecting with custom rom?

Hello everybody. I'm very new to this forum but extremely interested. So after a week of having a bricked phone I finally was able to install Pac rom. I'm running the latest stable version. I wanted to use my Galaxy gear with my gs4. I have some questions. My gear is running null rom build 23. But I factory reset it because I haven't used it in a month and just wanted a fresh start. Sadly I can't download the Samsung app store for some reason on my phone??? I've tried using a Galaxy gear Manger apk but every time I connect my gear to it the files won't download and they won't connect. Now my gear is stuck in the setup wizard. Please help. If anyone knows how to use a Galaxy gear and set it up with a custom rom let me know.

Hi,
you can get "samsungapps"apk here:https://mega.co.nz/#!NxVFzLya!Ad5voypEIN0LZcMYvCudE2XTxS5oylEHYb2d49jDdss and then search "gear manager"

I've tried so many samsung apks and none have worked. Why does this one work??? Hahaha thank you so much.

its updated again today, and again downloaded and installed another 3 items,
i never had a problem with my gear manager, so the question im asking is, has this fixed bluetooth disconnect for non samsung devices, and are the signed apps, working more consistently

Some of the data in that 159mb is only download as a package to install the software. And then deleted. So don't worry about the size. The problem gear manager has. Well that samsung has. Is they don't update the software so to speak. They release a new one. So to overwrite our already installed they need to rename the files while installing . And sometimes it conflicts cos of the filenames . It's best to just uninstall all. Then install fresh. Pain in the are. But clean installs always more smooth

Yes. Choose a version that worked for you. Then before configuring it. Disable it's Internet connection with a firewall. I recommend x posed framework with xprivacy

Well. root is needed if you want to modify files in sdb.exe and/or in tizen sdk but if you flash tizenmod rom. That's pre rooted anyway

Last week I got the Gear 2 Neo, and was using it with my Note 8, which wasn't fully supported. Spec wise it seemed like it should work, but I had to change the build.prop to make it work. I purchased a watchface that I really liked.
Today I got my Note 4, and when I went to go find the same watchface in the store, it's no longer there.
Is there a way to transfer a backup from one device to another device?

No change your build.prop of your note 4 to match your note 8

So I actually need to change my build.prop to the same model S5? Gear Manager doesn't work with the Note 8, so I had to change it to that to get it to download and setup. I did everything I wanted while the Note 8 was an S5, but changed it after. Almost everything worked then, except the app store.

Yeah I think so. Change it to the same build prop as the device you bought the app. Then once you got it. Change it back

Sorry guys... I have a little doubt... Yesterday I update my rom in my Galaxy Note 4 sm-910c and today my gear 2 have high drain of battery, what I can do? Can some one help me? Maybe Bluetooth problem? Thank you for the advice!
Note 4, SM-910C Model.

Does this now work non-Samsung phones on lollipop? I'm just getting a crash on start-up. Not sure if it's something I'm doing or it doesn't work with ART.

As I read, the gear manager isnt compatible with ART yet. Im waiting too so I can finally use my gear neo again.

We need to wait until gear mánager work with art

Won't work. That's the Polish TW Rom and Gear Manager works in that, even if you're on an older version. 2.2.114 is an OTA update I got some time ago (I'm in Europe).
Source: I have 2.2.14110499 and I've tried both CM12 and the 1BNL2 Lollipop ROM.

I just got the neo and this scared me bad. It said just install samsung apps from website and then search gear manager. Except when i searched i got a bunch of crappy chinese games that looked like scams.

Hello,
I am in the same problem. Android Lollipop and gear down.
The software will launch and I have a message: "HostManager" has stopped
When you think that a version will come please?

Most likely when Samsung officially releases lollipop for its phones. Supposedly this month my TMO s5 is supposed to get the lollipop update. If so, I'll update my gear manager and pull the apk files for my nexus 6.

Recently downloaded new version of Gear Manager from Aptoide: Version: 2.2.15011799. Don't know if this will help anybody else, but it has been the only version that loaded & opened (without error/stopped notices etc) on my Galaxy Express (GT-I8730) running CM12. Whilst I have BT connectivity, sadly Samsung Gear App can't find the Gear 2 Neo.

I had to use the Sprocket app in the apps/themes forum to get notifications. I tried all the steps in other forums but none worked on lolliop and the sprocket app only allows SMS viewing/replying without the developer key. I havent paid for the key as i dont know if it works with the current version of the app.
