I am trying to use the Galaxy Store app on my Redmi Note 10S but it won't let me open it because it is not made for other devices.
Is there a module, ROM or other way to emulate a Samsung device in order to use this app?
My Redmi Note 10S has MIUI 13.0.6 and Android 12. I also have root access and TWRP installed.
Some Samsung users who want to use Galaxy Store apps not available in their region have found ways to circumvent it.
Maybe start there.
Try side loading the apk and firewall blocking before it connects to Samsung's server. I use older versions of Wearables and Good lock apps like this on my Samsung. It's all good as long as firewall blocked. The supporting services may need to be installed (and firewall blocked) as well like the Galaxy Store app for the apps to function. It will likely be a pain and take a few tries... it did on a Samsung
Scan all side loaded apps first with online Virustotal, do not use if there's ANY doubts. Better safe than hacked.
Here's an older copy of Galaxy Store, may not install on Android 11 or higher...

Do some searches... you're not the first. Unlike many of Samsung's newer flagship phones some of their apps are still highly desirable.

This is what's needed for some. These apps can raise hell on a stock Samsung so don't expect a hack(s) to go smoothly...
Used N10+'s can be had for $350 in good condition. Probably the best Note Samsung ever made and still a very capable workhorse.
Snapdragon variants hardware is more desirable but next to impossible to root.

When Samsung updates the Note 5 with their version of Android 6.0 will it:
1. have Now on Tap?
2. Allow Android Pay instead of Samsung Pay?
3. Allow the 6.0 fingerprint API to be utilized for such things as purchasing apps on the Play Store?
I don't have any answer, my guess will be.
1. NO
2. NO
3. NO
Doesn't make sense for them to use Android Pay instead of Samsung Pay, why should they?

You can use Google Wallet on the Note 5.
Why no with Now on Tap? I figured that will be included as Google Now is still in Samsung devices in spite of S-Voice.
Pretty sure they will use the new fingerprint scanner API when they update the note to marshmallow.

Now on tap will probably be embedded I to the Google search app just like Now. Android pay and samsung pay are similar from what I gather. And Android pay is an app so I'm sure you could get both of them to work side by side.

You can pair it and use a few features, but the whole thing's sole purpose - the Fit part - requires a Samsung account, which you cannot have on your device. Hence the thing would be pretty much useless in that regard. You's be better off with an Android Wear watch (which works like a charm).
I'm using it as well.
If you want I can share the working apk.
You can use everything except sport sync and weather.
Media controller, notifications are working well. Except for text messages, if you use the default Huawei SMS solution. Hangouts are working.
Even some third party apps are working. For example calculator.
Thanks for all I will try
Hi all,
I have been a Samsung Note User from day one (and Note1). To keep apps in check, I always used xposed plus xprivacy or LBE. Today, I am totally aware my Note4 is totally outdated but I really got used to being able to deny data and (maybe more importantly) network access to any app at will.
I have been keeping to use my old phone because whenever I looked for viable app-fencing solutions on the current android versions, everything seemed very volatile and unstable. Recently my company gave me a Note8 and although I am not a big friend of the modern "glass brick" design trend at all, it is hard to ignore the advances in terms of hardware power and that my trusty old Note begins to be unable to execute certain new apps.
I presume most of you are using current Android versions. So I'd like to ask you which solutions are you using to prevent unwanted data and privacy drain on your devices. I my dreams I would continue to be able to willingly decide whether any app may be allowed to use either Wifi or mobile networks (bonus prize: depending on if the app is in foreground or not), be able to suppress advertising extensions in apps and deny access to privacy-related data like position, unique IDs and contact database.
Which solutions would I use to achieve as many of these goals as possible on Android 7 or even 8? Maybe even some without rooting?
Thank you very much for you suggestions and input..
Much of that is backed right into nougat and Oreo. Many permissions can be denied (depending on the app developers). Root on the newer samsungs seems to be problematic.

Hey! We are together in this! I am exactly the same on my Motorola x play! Been using xprivacy and xposed too for ages on all apps, plus a firewall too.
Give a look at f-droid app store and xposed itself, on the download tab. There is the new xprivacy LUA for android 6/7, and it's the successor of the old version. Haven't tested out yet, but seems to be more or less the same, judging by what I read.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xprivacylua6-0-android-privacy-manager-t3730663
Also... Give a look at a good firewall, to block rogue internet access for all the nasty apps out there.
Anything just give me a shout. It's good to know I am not alone! [emoji108][emoji56]

Thanks for your reply, madbat.
I have seen the new permission management in oreo. Please understand that to me it is important that not an app developer decides what I can deny but I want to be able to make that decision myself. Moreover, as far as my knowledge goes, android does not allow to deny network access to apps when I deem they shouldn't have any business on my uplink. Most importantly this applies for any Amazon apps and most apps from their store. All of them are trying to phone home every few minutes(!).

I have read about that one and to me it appears like it is not quite there. Last time I looked, the developer was about to REMOVE protection of several sensitive data points like IMEI. Also, like madcat mentioned, rooting the latest Samsung devices can be problematic and I might get some problems bricking a $1000 company device

Hey guys, I have a question. What firewall were you talking about for KitKat?
Before I switch to Galaxy Note 9, I used iTunes to backup my iPhone or send files from PC.
Then I'm confused while I'm trying to find the similar official tool on Samsung's website.
I still remember there was a software called Kies that works fine when I was using Galaxy Note 2, and I have it installed on my PC.
The problem is that Kies seems outdated, it dones't work with Note 9 at all.
Am I using Kies in a wrong way? Or is there another official tool that I don't know yet?
---Update---
It seems like Samsung separate those functions into multiple products.
And finally I found a solution:
Backup: Samsung Smart Switch
File transfer: Samsung Flow
Sync: OneDrive (Didn't find Samsung's official tool. So I choose Microsoft's official one.)

Sounds like you're after Google backup and drive. Samsung are just a maker of android phones. Unlike Apple, you have an operating system that does a bunch of stuff then the manufacturer puts some stuff on top.
Most of what you are after is built into the os.

It looks like what I want. But bad news is that SideSync in Google Play is not compatible with Note 9. Also on its website, it says that SideSync is not available for the S9/S9+, as well as Note 9. But I will try it with an apk file anyway.
Andromeda and substratum themes does not work.. I am putting this thread up to see if anyone knows a work around or able to contact the devs to get support.

Samsung is apparently tired of their app store being neglected, and is pushing people into it for everything. Fonts were the first thing to get locked into their app store, and it's only gotten worse since. It's kind of ironic, as Samsung used to be one of the few Android vendors that let you customize nearly everything, but now it's among the most locked down.
I believe one of the lesser known issues is that, as of Pie, Samsung will no longer allow free themes or fonts either. Anything in their app store that is "free" will be a demo only and time out.

I thought they went back on that demo thing? I remember reading when the pie beat came out that they were making free themes a trial only but changed it back to having completely free ones. I might be wrong though, however I'm using a free theme as we speak and it didnt say anything about a trial or anything.

I looked it up, and yes, it seems Samsung backed off of the demo/time trial thing for free themes. So, unless they do it again in the future, my bad.
Of course, the fact that you can only get themes/fonts/etc. through the Galaxy App store is ridiculous, but at least that particular bit of ridiculousness got walked back.
Man... I'm not even asking for much when it comes to custom theming. I just want a black theme for WhatsApp, Twitter, IG and Outlook on my phone. The rest of the system UI is fine with what Samsung gives us in night/dark mode.
I'm wondering I use an app extractor that I can use that to rip the Swift-customized apps on my Note 9 and install them on my S10e the Swift stuff will still be on the APKs?

Gvien the popularity of Substratum, Swift, and Andromeda, I'd work with them to get them on the Galaxy Store if I were Samsung. But what do I know, I'm just a guy and not a multi-billion dollar company.
If they want people to use their store, give people a reason to use it. I've been using the Galaxy Themes in conjunction with Substratum ever since I first learned about it since there's overlap that is beneficial for both.

I've been doing the same.
However, I'm not 100% sure this was Samsung's fault. Google was the one who purposefully neutered rootless Substratum on Pie. They went so far as in the March 2018 security update retroactively try to break it on Oreo as well. The fact that Samsung left it intact when they released Pie for the S9 probably irritated Google enough for them to push Samsung into blocking it.
The idea of having Substratum and its themes move to the Galaxy Store is a great one, but I'm not sure Google would like that and Samsung seems to have moved pass the time when they didn't care about what Google thought. I mean...Samsung itself admitted (in the Good Lock update announcement) that the ruining of the split-screen on Android Pie was the result of a demand from Google. I wouldn't be surprised is blocking Substratum on rootless phones was also a result of Google's meddling.
Question is: why? Is Google actually building their own version of Substratum into Android Q? Twitter's CEO, when talking about moving their night mode from blue to black, mentioned his wish to have a system wide theme that would change the Twitter app as well. This would be the ideal scenario. Third party devs would have the work of theming their apps lifted from them and outsourced to someone else, Google would "secure" the OMS engine for public use and we would finally get what we've been asking for years (it would also put an end to the debate about what is a good and a bad Dark Theme).
If only I believed Google ever had the interest of its users at heart...
