Hi I´m a user of a samsung galaxy gio (gt-s5660l) with an official android 2.3.4 update. My question is, any body know if the samsung galaxy gio has support for android open accessory???. This feature is supost to be in all android devices with 2.3.4 or tables with android 3, but there are hardware conseiderations. Also, I has been looking for a list of android devices that supports open accessory whitout luck. Hope some body can help me .
Some info about open accessory on galaxy gio
Well, i made an app with the source code of microchip´s basic accessory demo, that can be found on microchip.com. When I tried to upload the app into my phone, eclipse showed this message:
Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY
This means that the samsung galaxy gio with an official android 2.3.4 firmware can not support the android open accessory feature??, If the answer is no, this is due the firmware don´t have the needed library or the hardware of the phone don´t allow that feature???
Hope someone know something about it.
Iv'e sucessfully managed to connect my Gear 2 Neo with alot of custom roms including CM11 / Slimkat with notifications/samsung apps working.
I currently got a samsung GT-I9195 (S4 Mini LTE) running latest NIGHTLY CM11 4.4.4 and got gearmanager and apps 100% working.
1: Download the attached files.
2: First you wanna edit your build.prop to: (I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES DUE TO EDITING YOU'R BUILD.PROP)
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.product.model=GT-I9195
reboot...
3: Install the apps in this order:
GR.GearManagerStub.apk
GearManager1_2.apk (I Couldn't upload APK's bigger than 20MB so please see to THIS thread about the actual Gear manager APK)
goproviders.apk (v. 2.0.27)
SAccessoryService_signed.apk (v. 2.14.41)
SAFotaProvider.apk (v. 2.140442.2011)
SAFTCore_signed.apk (2.0.18.4.1)
SANotiProvider_signed.apk (v.1.0.9.42)
saproviders.apk (v. 2.0.87)
TextTemplateProvider_signed.apk (v.2.3.0)
ConnectionManager_signed.apk (v. 1.1.10)
Gear2Plugin.apk (v. 2.1.14052101)
Here's the tricky part, Install either one of the Hostmanager apk's ive uploaded (either v.2.1.14052101 or v.2.0.14031004) and try to launch the Gear manager app from your desktop link.
if it force closes and says Hostmanager have stopped or Gear manager have stopped, just uninstall the current Hostmanager APK and install the other version of Hostmanager and it should open up and connect.
if it connects just install O_signed_SamsungGALAXYApps_14093005.02.008.1_HHP_GED_oldkey.apk that you just downloaded and try run samsung gear apps from your gearmanager.
NOTE: I have got it working with alot of different roms and different Android versions on my samsung by mixing different versions of the Gearmanager APK's , i have also got it to fully work but without samsung apps on my Sony Xperia L (C2105) Using this method.
i do not guarantee this will work for you, this is the way iv'e done it tho and i just wanna share how I did it.
Will this work on cm 12?

No CM12 runs on ART not DALVIK, and gearmanager is not compatible with ART yet. but it will work on most 4.*.*. ROMS on any phone

But my sgs5 is on stock lollipop rom. And gear manager is working fine with art. Of course, the GM i use is v2.1, above that version gives notification bugs (saprovider fc's) on me even when i was on 4.4.2.

Hi!
How did you manage this to work? Do you have a guide? Which version of GearManager (2.1.14071502?) are you using?
EDIT: Nvm, I saw that you are using Stock ROM.
Yeah gear 2 works with stock 5.0 on my galaxy s5 and tizen mod 3 but only with gear manager 2.1. 2.2 does not seem to work for anybody. I don't know why it has not been fixed or why it was even released. As far as I can tell it literally does not work with galaxy s5 which is pretty much Samsung's flagship. Silly.
Anyways, was wondering If anybody got ANY custom 5.0 ROMs working with gear manager. I'm on pacman 5.0 right now and was thinking of trying the method posted above but I guess I'll just go back to stock until its easier seeing as I want to stay on 5.0 and the custom ROMs for 5.0 are pretty bare bones right now anyways. If anybody has a more simple method please post it!
Is this a solution to my problem with gear manager at S4 with lollipop (gpe ROM)? It's not working for me at all...
Galaxy S IV @ GE 5.0
Gear Manager sits at "Connecting to Gear" screen
I'm able to pair my Note 2 running CM11 with my Gear (running Tizen), but Gear manager is never able to connect. It just sits there spinning at "Connecting to Gear."
Running Android 4.4.4.
Any tips?
TIA,
Dingo
I have followed your guide and say thank you.
It is working with CM11 and a galaxy note 2 lte model.
My only issues no notification work at all upon the neo 2. Even the chinese cheap watches work very well.
I can not believe samsung have hamstrung these watches only to work with samsung android only.
I have a gear 1, gear 2 neo and gear fit. None work with CM11 it seems.
Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful thread.
I'm running on CM11 (KitKat) on my HP Touchpad tablet and changed the build.prop to be the "Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 Wifi tablet". Was able to install all the apks in the order suggested. Ran Gear Manager and it is able to see my Gear 2 Neo smartwatch (yay!). Clicking on the device from the Gear Manager, says "Connecting to Gear" and after a 30-40 seconds, the bluetooth is getting disconnected on the watch. My next step was to reset the watch and start fresh. After the reset, I'm still seeing "Connecting to Gear" for a long time but bluetooth is not getting disconnected. Btw, the Samsung App store app is working pretty good and updating to the newer Gear Manager is still worse where it is not even seeing my paired watch.
I'm running on the stock ROM on the watch and didn't flash it with the Tizen 3.0 ROM yet.
What are my options here? Is there any other way to make the Gear Manager to work?
The main purpose of buying this watch is to pair with my iPhone (for which I think I need to install custom ROM on the watch) and also use "Endomondo" app to transfer fitness data from the watch to the tablet. To use the "Endomondo" app and make it work with the watch, is there a way to bypass the Gear Manager completely and install the Endomondo companion app on the watch?
I'm almost close to getting this work and really hope for a good solution.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Any Idea where I can download Samsung Device Maintenance app for a Samsung still running on Marshmellow - Android 6.0.1?
I accidently deleted the app while doing some tweaking on my phone and would love to re-install it.
Apart from having to factory reset my phone (and thus lose all my customisations done since) I have no idea where to find this App for Android 6.0.1 ???
On Playstore and APKmirror the only versions I can find are for Android 7 upwards.
It obviously does exist for the Android 6 platform as well, as it came pre-installed on my Samsung.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Tx Guys.....
3 years ago somebody downgraded somebody I met at the internet successful my Samsung J5 to Android 5.
Now I think about the possibility to downgrade my Samsung A7 (A750GN) to Android 4.
Would it be possible?
In know with such a questions a lot of people want to know why.
It's simple.
I love how 4 looks.
I could still enjoy 5 if I have too.
And Android is gone the same negative way like Microsoft with Windows 10.
Every new Android Version has more and more rubbish included I don't use and I don't want,
Today is (for me) my Android Version a overloaded fat elephant with so many bad functions I can't turn off.
I would like to have a "Android Lite" and I would like to have a Android that looks like 4 or 5.
But would it be possible?
I have never ever done something like this for myself.
That last time with my J5 somebody installed a remote control on my laptop and I plugged in my mobile and this guy has done everything remote controlled.
I have still to today no idea who he was and from where he was.
But it worked fine.
He downgraded my J5 to Android 5 and he changed something in such a way the mobile never ask for a update and when I try to force a update I get the wrong answer the newest update in installed.
Absolute great.
That is what I'm looking for with my A7.
Any ideas?
It is NOT possible to downgrade your A7 to android 5.
When a new phone comes out , for example the A7 2018 , it was launched with android 8.
It can not be downgraded to any version below the version it came out with.
Even after updating from android 8 to the latest android 10 , i don't think it is possible to even downgrade to android 8 again (because samsung updates, patch your phone with the new update.)
Galaxy J5 was released with android 5 touchwiz, the android 5 system customized by Samsung.
The person who was connected to your computer has installed a custom rom (probably an AOSP rom , as you described being a "lite version".)
AOSP roms are roms without the Samsung add-ons and customizations , created by developers here on XDA.
For the moment , an AOSP android 10 for A7 2018 is not available , but there is another way to get a "lite " version of android 10 on your device.
As it needs a lot of reading and understanding on android development, i do not sugges you doing so .
It is called GSI and you can find by reading in the correct thread , for example :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/help/how-to-install-gsi-samsung-galaxy-a7-t4165617
Please , be aware that you might brick your device if you decide to experiment with its system.
Hope this helps you.
Hi, I got myself a smart projector running on Android. Unfortunetely the deveopers installed a really old version and it seems there is no way to update them. When trying to add an account to the system or let alone update the system tells me that it can not communicate with the google servers. So, I am planning to install a new Android version on the smart projector.
Can anyone point me towards a good resource (on the net) that tells me what information I need to have, which files from the current installation I need to keep (i.e. drivers) before installing whoch ROM?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sounds familiar - having the same problem: My Philips Picopix 4935 is a splendid device but its Android 4 isn't much fun (especially with newer audio/video-formats).
What model do you have?
