Their is a setting for letting you install 3rd party apps put a check in the box to set it. Don't know if that is it or not.

It's probably the app is restricted to newer versions of Android higher than 4.1.2

Cant wait for this to get ported to other devices. Beelink R89 please!

It will not work with otner devices exept nexus box and i also think that it is too pity that it works only with some devices, i think they are mistaken with this decision.
I use Handy Smart TV Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.handysmart.android.launcher&hl=en)with its’ remote control app for my tv box and i ‘m sure that it will be the main rival for this new launcher from Google. Morover it works with a lot of mobile devices and tv-boxes and have intuitive remote control app.

What console exactly? Can you list your specs, We don't test any sonsoles yet as our apps optimized for tv-boxes. We cannot guarantee that apps will work appropriate on all devices.

Kinda surprised that nobody has been successful in hacking this to work on regular old android builds. Considering the Google play launcher from lollipop was ported to older versions of android before the play store version was updated I'd think it would be technically possible at least... Too bad I don't have the knowledge to do it myself.

That is the name of the console. Xtreamer Multi-console. You can check the info here http://www.xtreamer.net/MultiConsole/

Is it possible to make it work on Xiaomi Mi Box Pro?

hmm
I have it / installed running (laidbacklauncher) whatever that drop box apk was.. it installs.. and runs.. but if you click the voice seach, it crashes, and it looks like its constantly loading (recommendations) but it deffinately loaded.
(Note 2 I317m - model phone)
But i changed a setting in the system via build.prop editor changing the brand of my device to nexus where it before was T0lte (custom firmware for note 2)
i never attempted to install it prior so i dont know if it will load or not. going to see if the play store detects my phone as a nexus and allows the apk download.. (fingers crossed)

Samsung Gear Manager / Accessory Service / Gear S2 Plugin for Oneplus 2 and others

Hi guys,
I just bought a Gear S2 and found out that Gear Manager and the other required software from the Google Play Store are not supported for the OPT.
I found a thread here providing the APKs in order to support the Gear S2 on the OPT, however it does not work for me as it failed when it requires me to download the Gear S2 Plugin.
Used a Samsung S4 to download the required softwares from the Playstore and extracted the APKs.
Hence I'm sharing them here for those who are in the same situation as me.
I have tested the APKs with my OPT and everything works fine.
Compatibility List as of 11 Oct 2015:
Oneplus 2
If you tested other phones that works let me know and I can update this list.
Required APKs:
Samsung Gear
Samsung Accessory Service
Gear S2 Plugin
Enjoy!

Yes finally can attach outside links!

Thank you!! This worked for me for my galaxy note 5!!

Yours is a Samsung. Should be able to download all the required software from the Playstore right?

I have an SM-N9200 on AT&T, and no matter what tried it wouldn't connect. No updates available or anything. Wish I knew what the issue was, but this fixed it.
The watch connected just fine with a note 4, it was very frustrating. Looks like from the reviews on the gear app in the Samsung store I'm not alone.

Great! Glad that it solved your problems.

Thanks for your effort. I tried these apps as well but still getting following error: 'The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.'
I am on a custom ROM and rooted Note 2.
Do I need to install an official firmware or is there a way around?
Thanks.

I'm totally a newbie in custom rom and rooted stuff but the error seems to point to a unsupported rom or rooted device. I have no rooted device to test if the s2 works with it.

Is anyone having issues connecting to the gear app store within gear manager? I'm getting a white blank screen? Do we need the latest updates Samsung released to the play store? If so can you port them with your Samsung device?

It was blank just like you said couple of hours ago for me too. It works for me now. Try it. I did not do any updates nor was there any updates to apply.

There is updates for both the gear plugin and the gear manager. You won't see the updates if your on a non supported device. That's why someone with a supported device should continue to extract the latest updates and post them in this thread.

This was already posted by me. Reporting this.

PSA: VOIP Calls (WhatsApp, Viber etc) On Gear S3 Working On Android 10

I recently switched to the Oneplus 7 Pro, updated to Android 10 and to my surprise, the calls made through WhatsApp and other similar apps can now be routed through Gear S3.
I also tested this on Pixel XL running Android 10 and so I assume it should work on all Android 10 devices.
Just wanted to let you guys know in case it hasn't been mentioned already.

Can you tell me how you got your plugin working?? I'm on a Pixel XL and it keeps telling me to check my software and update. I couldn't install from the play store it said my device was incompatible. So I downloaded the app but I get the update message... Any help would be amazing! Can't use my watch at all...

Hmm. Never ran into that issue. Maybe try hiding magisk manager and also using magisk hide for the three apps related to gear S3.
Also, in my case, the apps were available on the play store.
Are you sure you're using the latest apks?

Running Lineage 17 ROM may have been the issue as it was incompatible in the Play Store. Found a solution today figured I'd post it here as this was a top link for my search and hopefully it will help others.
Reset your watch and remove all Samsung related apps from your phone.
Install these two APK's and your back in business
https://www.dropbox.com/s/37untd7w3gkdlzs/gearoplugin_2.2.03.apk?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/en5dco911boyu17/watchmanager_2.2.27.apk?dl=0
For me, these plugins were incompatible in the Play store and many others I tried did not work. Only these 2 versions got me up and running again, so I figured I'd share them from my DB to hopefully help others.

Question Chinese Samsung Note 10+ unable to connect with Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (US region)

I have a Chinese Note 10+ with a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (US region)
Phone: SM-N9760
Watch: SM-R890NZKAXAA
Before I was able to connect using Chinese version of Google Wear app and US version of Samsung Wearables.
Recently there was an update for Samsung Wearables which stopped it from connecting.
Anyone having a similar connection problem with different region devices?
What other methods can I try to connect?
Really not wanting to buy another US Samsung phone to connect the watch.
Thanks in advance.

I am using GW4 (EU version) with my xiaomi 12 ultra, it works very well.
You just need to install Google framework to your phone, and install Galaxy Wearable with Google Wear (China version). Please be aware that you need to connect GW4 with bluetooth through Google wear app, and then sync your watch with your phone through Galaxy Wearable.

I think I already have the Google framework installed but this was when I first got the phone.
I see Google apps, YouTube.
Would a newer updated one be required?
I go to APKmirror.
Are there other sources better than that?
Thank you.

I'm still not able to sync the watch properly after reinstalling the Google Framework, Google Wear (China version), and Galaxy Wearable (US version).
Are there any other methods?
Thank you

Hello.
Everything works with WearOs China version except the Remote Connection... Anyone knows how to fix it.
