Gear Manager finally doesn't require Touchwiz!!! - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hi all,
Samsung have finally released a version of Gear Manager that doesn't require Touchwiz to be installed.
Version is 2.2.15100741N is out and even shows up on the Google Play Store. Installs fine on a Nexus 6 with 6.0 and a Oneplus One running 5.1.1
At the moment it only works with the Gear S2, but i wonder if Samsung will release a version compatible with our watch??
If not, do you think this version could be modified to work with our old watch???

Not showing on my google play.

I am on cm12.1 based rom with gear s2 but unfotunately the app fails to start saying the os has been modified in an unauthorized way. Ugh.

The same here, Galaxy Gear 1

I see it on my play store but that's for the new S2 watch. I would update to it to see if it works with my Gear 1 but it was already a pain in the ass getting it to work correctly with my LG G3, and I don't wanna screw it up lol

Yeah everything works. Have to sideload apps because samsung app store doesn't work. Also, svoice doesn't work either.

Galaxy Gear and Lg G2

Hello friends,
Just bought a LG G2 and i'm very interested about the Gear is more beautiful and with much options then the Sony SW2.Anyone have a Gear connected to G2 or in future they will can be connected?
I switched from gs4 to LG g2. I love this phone! But I also love my watch. I've been working on it for along time. I got tablet talk on my gear so it will show my text.
Hopefully an update comes soon so we can use gear on any android phone and have everything working! This will do I suppose.

lg g2 and gear
any news to connect with lg g2???
My girl has a Gear and G2, it connects and she can read her call logs and use the media player but doesn't get any notifications. I just installed the gear manager and all the apks associated with it. No issues with connecting to LG G2. Gear is running ML1 update with Null 19 and she is using Gear Manager v1.6.

Yeah, such a shame... I think originally Samsung thought everyone was gonna go nuts over the Gear and that they would sell more phones as a result. But that didn't work out... I think at this point, they should just make it so it works on any phone.

I think you may need the ATN Manager app to get the notifications on the Gear.

Found this on a web:
You can root the Galaxy Gear, you can also install custom ROMs on it. You can then also use it on any android 4.3+ phone.
Check out XDA for all the info.

Only issue right now is that the LG G2 is only on 4.2.2 right now. Until they bring out Kit Kat.
Now I am willing to ROOT/FlASH to whatever rom I need to to make this work (im bored and like the way it looks). I appreciate your swift answer. I have 4 hours to figure this out while Battlefield 4 downloads
Custom rom makes no difference to compatibility
There are several threads here already for non touchwiz rom/phones. Same applies to all of them
Essentially you need gearmanagerstub apk installed in /system/app (check downloads in my sig). Then you get some of the functionality. Pretty much need 4.3 or higher also

You'll need gear manager. To install gear manager, you need to have gearmanagerstub.apk in /system/app on your phone
Once gearmanagerstub is there, install gear manager, then install the extra 21 apks (2 won't install)

When gm runs for the first time, it installs extra apk files automatically. For some reason this only occurs on touchwiz roms, so you'll need to install them manually instead
If you check the link in my sig, you'll be able to download them all. weather and another wont install unless you have the correct touchwiz apps

Yeah I have a G2 and it works fine. I get calls but most other notifications dont come through. Text/email/weather. This may be limited to my 4.2.2 . What ROM are you flashing to? I would like to know how you like it because I may do that as well if flashing to 4.3 gives added functionality with gear manager. Right now im using the oldest version of gear manager.

Does the Galaxy Gear work with the Galaxy S4 Zoom??

Hi,
I have the chance of buying a Galaxy S4 zoom but need to know whether it works with the Galaxy Gear or not? I have a Galaxy Gear (Original Galaxy Gear 1) already and don't want to render it useless should I chop in my Galaxy S3 for the S4 zoom!!
Thanks

The S4 Galaxy Zoom came with android version 4.2.2. On this version it "might" work if you jump thru some hoops. It is able to be officially updated to 4.4 on some carriers. If the Zoom is on 4.4 stock firmware it will work. If your able to get to a retail store and test drive the device, open samsung apps application and search for gear manager. If it's there, your 100% good to go!

So its all based around whether the device can download the Samsung Galaxy Gear Manager then rather than hardware capabilities?

Hardware requirements for the gear are a bluetooth v4 connection. But users with v3 have it working properly. The S4 Zoom has v4.0 with A2DP, LE so it's good to go hardware wise.
Software wise the gearmanager requires an android version of 4.3 or higher that's based on Samsung's touchwiz framework. If your on anything different you have to do some modifying and tweaking. That's where xda can help!
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that answers my question!! The S4 zoom only has Android 4.2.2 and no upgrades to it so I'm not going to run the risk!
I might wait for the rumoured Galaxy K Zoom just to be sure!
I also don't think that the S4 zoom can run S Health either so the integration between the watch and S Health won't exist either!?

Is this a fact? Well, if that's right, I know why my Galaxy Note 1 does work very well with a force installed Gear manager, but calling is silent and with no mike working... Bluetooth 2.1 here... In that case, be sure that your device supports more than mine ^^

The original Galaxy note has Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP, EDR. I use to have one and didn't have mic problems with my gear. You might want to reinstall gearmanager and all the apks individually again.

That's not right!!!! I use gear with S4 mini dual sim from November 2013 and it has 4.2.2. Samsung implemented the necessary files in earlyer version of android. If you could update your phone with a 2014 firmware it is a very great possibility to work. (99%)
Anyway, gear manager works just fine with devices from other manufacturers, I reccomand you to read on the gear forum some more.

Which ROM? Omni KitKat ROM does not work.
I don't suppose anyone is able to definitely confirm that the Galaxy Gear works with the Galaxy S4 Zoom?
I've double checked today and its actually the SM-C101 model I have a chance of getting... OR I can now get a Galaxy S4. So I need to be absolutely sure that I can use my Gear with the Zoom, otherwise I'll go for the S4

Gear 2 now that Android wear is out.... #failboat

So I bought a Neo and played around with it on my work Note 3. It has fair amount of apps. Well today I bought a S5 Active. I moved my Neo over to it (requires reseting it.) and got gear manager installed. Surprise to me... It seems even though things like the clock face is an app that runs on the phone if the developer doesn't select that it works with a phone you can't use it. Which should be a simple change for most things however it doesn't seem that developers update their Samsung store apps. For the S5 active there are only a handful of apps even though I am sure 99% all the apps would work if the dev would click the "it works with an s5 active"
After dealing with Samsung support (or the lack of it) I tried to get on the Samsung app store webpage. It seems they are having server errors so it was been working like crap. I was kind of able to get contacts for a couple of the app dev's to ask that they update their app to work with the S5 active. Samsung app store doesn't provide contact information unless the dev adds it. One of the devs linked to his google+ page. Which showed he is working to get the same app with improvements to work on android wear.
This got me thinking. Who is going to mess with this crappy half baked Samsung store with Google coming out with Wear? I'd guess we won't see anyone making new Apps for the tizen watches, they don't even update it to work with new phones it will run on with no changes...
I just got the Neo and I am on the fence of returning it. I figured I could get by with apps I had on the Note 3 until someone got a Wear rom for it. With the lack of apps when paired with the s5 I am not impressed at all and after my research today I am liking it less. I got it over the wear because it was only 150bucks vs 225, it has a speaker and IR blaster and Android wear is lacking in features (sure to change in 6 months to a year). I figured by the time wear got up to speed there would be a rom. Thinking about it some I am doubtful, I think the speaker and IR blaster (camera if it is a gear 2) will prevent it from ever happening. None of the wear watches have these so I'd guess there isn't low level support.
I guess I need to return it and wait for the 360 come out.
I had the same problem with my active. I modified the build prop to identify my device as a regular s5 and have all the apps again.

How likely is it? Is using Gear Manager a compromise compared to Android Wear?
Would it be better to just sell the watch and get one that is more compatible?

I tried it on a very early alpha version of lollipop on my Samsung device and it worked. But I hate to burst your bubble, it will be at least another couple of months until it is stable and more generally available. It relies heavy on gear manager which relies on the touchwiz environment. Why, for Pete's sake, this route was chosen is maybe one of Samsung's downfalls. Within two years they will be out of the market if they keep going with their business model, this consumer market does not care, but like you, will remember. Examples of such electronic giants reduced to rubble? Nokia, Nortel, Blackberry
Consumers want stuff to work, simple without all these prerequisites that are in fine print.
Tbh you are best of selling or donate it to a family member with a Samsung phone that has to be running Jellybean 4.3 or KitKat. Preferably a galaxy phone so S4, Note3, ß5 or Note4. Others.... Will not work without breaking their OS
Sad but true
Anyone tried Gear 2 Neo to see if it works with the newly pushed Android 5.0.1 on i9500 and i9506?
I'm curious if it will work from day 1 on i9505 when 5.0.1 will be pushed to these devices.
Thanks!
I have i9506, nordic edition and gear 2 neo, and they work together. Even better than on Kitkat, as s health was not receiving the Gear data for pedometer and such.
Now even that works. My s4 on the otherhand is laggy as hell with 5.0.1 , but that is not the issue here
I've installed i9505 5.0.1 and Samsung Gear doesn't work anymore. When started, it blinks a 1-2 times and crashes silently. I cannot connect to the watch with anything else (Android Wear for ex.) either.
Any ideas?
Later edit: I enabled bluetooth debug in Android Wear and tried several more times to connect through S-Gear and now it seems it connected and is trying to install additional software... hope it works out.
Haha, phone did a factory reset on the watch and now I'm trying again to connect to it .
Later edit: after managing to soft brick my phone, I reinstalled the 5.0.1 and this time, amazingly enough, Samsung Gear worked as it was supposed to so my watch is back to normal functions again.

Hello,
I tried every possible thing I found on the internet. Even went to change the name of the phone and model in /system files, without any success. I did manage, after downgrading to 4.4.4 to connect to the gear 2 neo, but I couldn't use any of it's features except answering the phone via the watch. I'm thinking maybe I can change the ROM of the watch to tizen and then make a connection with android wear. I searched but didn't find anyone who did this on gear 2 neo. Theoretically, it should work. I will post if I manage to do something.
Cheers,
Alex

Answering calls work with Lollipop too,just pair watch in Bluetooth settings. Second... You should install Android rom on watch,not Tizen. There is also Android Wear mod possibility... Roms for Gear 2 should also work on Neo (except camera)

Will it work with the S3 watch and Android pay?

I looked over compatibility at Samsung.com, however i also know that the phones listed there are not all the phones able to connect to the watch. Anyone who has tried using it with a Gear S3?
And anyone who can confirm whether this phone will work with Android Pay as well?
Thanks a million,
Can't speak for the s3 watch but my Pebble Time Steel works perfectly with it.
Yes, S3 works perfectly, no issues with Android Pay and I'm rooted.

Where are you using it? What ROM are you using. I have tried the stable ROM that came with it and now a beta ROM 6.11.10. Both have had issues connecting to Samsung app store. And cant get Samsung pay
Has anyone been able to get the samsung app store to work on this phone? I'm able to get my gear s3 working properly but I can't download any new apps or watch faces and thus can't use samsung pay. Gear store seems like an empty shell with no apps populating in it. I'm on 6.11.10 rooted.

Same issue with the S2. The Gear Apps just shows a blank screen. Tried deleting data, reinstalling, factory reset of watch etc with no luck. I am able to log in to my Samsung account and watch works fine otherwise.
This is frustrating as it's stopping me getting the S3. I am on latest EU rom.

Where are you using it? What ROM are you using. I have tried the stable ROM that came with it and now a beta ROM 6.11.10. Both have had issues connecting to Samsung app store. And cant get Samsung pay

I was on EU 6.11.10 and now on 6.12.8. I used Samsung Gear to install Samsung Pay but unable to get Samsung App store to load properly.

Can I ask how you managed to get Android Pay to work?
I'm not rooted but get an error message about the handset not being secure - I get something similar with AmEx Pay (in the UK AmEx have created their own app rather than use Android Pay).
Any insight you can offer would be appreciated.

I didn't do anything special, I'm on EU 6.12.8, rooted and installed Android Pay normally from the Play Store.

If you're rooted, you must have taken additional steps to make it work, regardless of the model of handset you're using - but doubly so with the Mi Mix, which is a handset with no official Google Services support and that throws up errors on un-rooted handsets.

I guess if you want to call it an extra step, I installed the EU rom version for Mi Mix from xiaomi.eu, TWRP rc2, dm-verify and SuperSu.
So, at last, the Mi Mix has a serious problem with the GEAR S3 and the last MIUI.EU.
The GEAR Manager does not open the App Store for downloading Watch Faces and other additional applications. Once you have done the Samsung Login when you enter in the Store appears a white Page.
Any idea to solve this annoying problem?
I'm having the same problem myself still.

I am also having this problem. Just wondering if anyone has managed to find a solution to this or been able to side load watchfacesand apps through a third party app or other method.

The strange thing is that on the Mix after a reset and removing the root the SamsungApp worked for a couple of days and then disappear again.

have you managed to get any apps or watch faces installed on the S3..
For me it connects and the pre-installed features and apps seem to work fine..Just can't install anything else.. Seemingly...like others here, I just get a blank page when trying to access Samsung apps...
