Car Mode - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Am I missing something or was the "Car Mode" option removed in the Note 5?
I used this when docked in the car on the Note 4 using a NFC tag.

I just got mine today and I see Car Mode listed in the "Galaxy Apps" as a download.

Are you on Verizon? I don't see that.

It looks like Verizon has removed the Galaxy Apps. I know the link refers to the S6, but I think it is relevant.
I will start looking at third party apps.

What dock/tag are you using? I'm interested in finding one with that + wireless charging built in

I am on Verizon and I have Galaxy Apps. It was on the 3rd homepage. If not there look in your wigits drawer.

Looks to be a flashable ZIP? Any way to get this as an installable APK for the unrooted/Verizon guys? Thanks.

It's not a flashable ZIP, just a few APKs that I zipped to upload as one file.

I have seen it in samsung app store. Also going in application list i see car mode apk still present. I have Note 5 with Verizon!

HTC one sharing photo with s4 via nfc

How does nfc work? My mates got. S4 and tried to send me a photo but it just sends me to a dead play store link.
Any tips on how to work with any device?

did you make it work? I tried the same thing but all I heard is the sound twice but nothing. Somewhere I read, you need to have the Bluetooth on but didn't help...

I use "send!" from the app store which uses nfc to make a wireless connection so you have much better speed. But if you want to use pure nfc just install "Android Beam" and you can send things through nfc to others even if they don't have the app. Under share it will pop up with the app that allows you to send it.

Doh, I guess android beam is now baked in so just let the devices connect and it will auto share the content, as I said I use send!. Here's the official tutorial https://support.htc.com/en-uk/005-HTC_One/0G0/040
The s4 has to have s-beam off and nfc on then it'll work.

[APK] Samsung Apps (touchwiz-free)

All,
Here is a copy of the Samsung Apps APK that I have modified to remove the touchwiz requirement. Just download and install. This should provide the Samsung App store to custom roms/GPE edition roms on your devices.
YMMV, but this works perfectly on my device.

If this works for you, hit the thanks button!
Just to be clear, will this fix the notification problems ( such as notifications for hangouts, text messaging, gmail, etc.) that are found in non TouchWiz roms? Thanks and happy new year!

This is simply the "Samsung Apps" application that gear manager wants to install apps through. I'm still working on the rest
Ok cool, thanks for your work!

What exactly was done ? Was the framework removed from the android-manifest file ?
I've installed it on nexus5, but it says country/device not supported. Does buildprop edit make a difference?

Yes. I removed the tw framework from the manifest for this apk, rebuilt and resigned using a development key.
It's not that simple for the rest of the gear stuff, unfortunately. :/

Since I don't have such a device to test on, you might give it a shot after making a backup of your current build.prop file.

This could be an issue with non Sammy devices. It's possible a build.prop edit would fix this, but I'm not sure

It works very well but I can't connect my device to the Samsung Store to send apps directly to the smartphone... you too?
I have a gt-i9505 s4 lte. I installed Samsung apps from your link and then Gear manager. But it says cannot connect, device or country not supported. Update your device. What can I do to run this? I am on cm11 m3.
same thing happens to me works fine but no apps showing said your country may be limited installed on sony z ultra.

New Tizen App DMA navi watch (similar to turnbyturn)

Just got added to the Samsung app store today. Named D.M.A. Navi Watch. It's a nifty app that shows you the next turn using Google maps.
From what I understand it's similar to turn by turn but work on tizen! It's lacking slightly with features(no 12 hour clock yet only 24) and no vibrate or screen on for next turn. BUT the Developer seems to respond to comments and is adding those features. Has a video on how to set it up.
Also I edited My build prop on my s4 to SM-G900F and Im a seeing new apps everyday
Check it out!

I'm not sure how to link an app from the gear manager. I go to gear manager then samsung app store. Type navi watch and you should find it. If not you have to be rooted and change your build prop model to the one I posted above and more apps will show up in samsung app store.
I'll try to find a way to link it.

This looks pretty neat. Will have to try it when I get home tonight. Here is a link to the Developers XDA forum.

Also from the developers site I stumbled onto another navigation program. Looks interesting also:

Request Car mode APK for Note 5

Hi all,
Would someone be willing to extract the samsung car mode apk and post it online so that I can install on my AT&T Note 5. Apparently AT&T made a deal with Samsung to not allow this particular app in the Galaxy app store. I guess they see it as competition with AT&T's drive mode app. Thanks in advance!

Was able to download and install but the app will not start, and force closes. Not sure why, but I'm certain it's at&t's fault.

Do you have Car Mode Stub installed?
I'm not sure what you are asking and don't see anything on a search but I am interested and will be searching more. If you could elaborate it would be much appreciated
Car Mode Stub is an APK and you would find it under all applications if it is installed on your phone. I believe you have to have that APK installed as well as the Car Mode app.
Do you guys have the latest car mode for galaxy with mirrorlink? I think its version 3 and its only available on note 5 thru Galaxy Apps store.

Smart Select APK

Hi guys! Okay, I need some help. I just upgraded to the Note 5 from the Note 4. While I like the phone overall, I'm absolutely missing the Smart Select S Pen feature from the Note 4 (which, objectively, is the better phone). Could anyone please, please, please....please post the apk for the Smart Select feature? I'm going to try to put it on my Note 5.
I found an app that actually works better than the Note 5 rendition of Smart Select (http://apkpure.com/smart-select-ocr/com.bin.smartselect) but it's just not the same. Thanks for the help!
I don't see a app with that name. Are you sure that's not a feature in the S-pen app?

Actually, you're 100% right. It's not a standalone app so to speak. It's, more than likely, an system apk mixed with a few other settings and system dependencies, mixed with a few thinks I'm not familiar with :silly: . In order to get the Note 4's Smart Select functionality on a Note 5 I'll probably have to reach out to one of my smart developer friends.
Thanks for responding!
