Hangouts is a system app and you will need to be rooted and use something like Titanium Backup to uninstall it. I do not know if it is safe to remove this app or if will cause problems or not.

Maybe you could use that multiwindow manager app in the apps and themes section to fix it?

I dont know which must I choose to remove the apps on system/app . I hope you guys help me solve this problem. thanks before.
Use Link2sd to uninstall unwanted apps, but first you should root your phone
It is not suggested and you can disable those unwanted app in the setting -> app management, therefore they will not show in the drawer again.

@ellynepain actually you should be able to sync contacts without installing gapps at all !

I'm using parcel restore & backup because it did me well on my s5. But I've rooted my s6 so I can use it and it doesn't uninstall or even disable on the s6. Is there any other app that will work on both Samsung s6 and lollipop?

To get the Gear S2 to work in CM13 follow these steps:
1) In build.prop edit anything that says samsung to something else (I put "htc"). I only found two, manufacturer and brand. This will now break the app store ability to download the app(s)
2) Download and install the APK for the Gear Manager and the Accessory Service (and maybe the S2 Plugin)
example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/themes-apps/samsung-gear-manager-samsung-accessory-t3216240
3) You may encounter some app closures and stuff right away (I did) but wait for a minute and try again, eventually things settle down service launch and you can connect to your gear.
*Things to note: It will make you hard reset your watch, but you won't lose your purchases, just will have to reset everything and re-download everything.
That's it. I have my Gear s2, working with CM13 as we speak.
Also FYI, once done, rerooting does not stop the Gear Manager app from working.
I don't need to do any of that. I can get it to work fine with no issues running cm13 on nexus 6p.i can download apps etc. On occasion I need to u install the Samsung software and reinstall it after an update but that is it. The only issue I have is the Samsung watch update which is encrypted. I need to use my note for that

I don't have a nexus/LG phone so I couldn't tell you for sure, but it doesn't hurt to try it out if you are open to the risks involved. Just make sure you have a backup. Keep in mind that loading the update from the app store will then break the app again. So use the downloaded apks.
Worked, Thanks
can anyone tell me how I come to the build.prop? please

Same here: it first worked but then I updated the ROM (Resurrection Remix to Jun 2016 version). After that I got Gear Plugin FC all the time. It is to do with the "Notification access" which is enabled for Samsung Gear.
If you disable that no FC anymore. Confusing. Sometimes it helped to disable and enable bluetooth. Grrr. What a mess.

Hi @ all. I have exactly the same settings like in the first post but every time my gear S2 loose the connection and I have to reset the gear and gear app
What's the problem?
I will use the cm13 but the only problem is that I can't use my gear S2 too at the moment I'm using the Sixperience v3.1 on my Note 4 N910C and would like to use this rom here -> [ROM][N910C/H/U] CyanogenMod 13 - Build 11

Use the one I linked to. The thread the op linked to hasn't been updated. You probably need the most up to date apk's.

Genius! This is awesome! Lifesaver. Thank you!
It was working until now. It seems like Samsung has changed the way of detecting cm 13. The Samsung Gear App says it can not connect because some Gears are not supported with my phone (S4 mini CM 13).
I changed every "samsung" in the build.prop to "htc" (3x).
Can someone help?

Hi all,
i just got my Samsung S3 Gear classic and i was excited to get it working with my mobile. I download the Samsung gear app and turn the watch on, found the watch in the app and followed the messages. It asks to pair the devices and then to download the Samsung plug in and accessory from the apps stores. After completing these actions, the Samsung Gear app tries to connect to the phone and then the screen changes and shows the phone is pair but not connected. See pictures attached. This means i can only pair the phone but i can use the app to enable the functionalities. Every time i tried to connect it just takes me to the same screen. I tried resetting the watch, installing again all programs, tried the watch with Samsung phone (works fine), tried other watches with my mobile (same issue repeated) etc but never made them work.
Does anyone knows how to make the gear app work with the Z5? Are these devices compatible?
Thank you in advance for the support.
My Gear S2 works with my Z5 Compact.
Hi dersie,
did you follow the process as described above and works with your S2?

I have a Z5 Premium and it works fine with my S3. Are you on the stock Sony ROM?
The problem might be a rooted or modified phone.
Try this modded version of the gear app:

I had the same problem on my device, but was able to solve it with the app in the link above.

I just installed the Samsung Gear App. So yes, download them and just install them.
The other 3 apps are installed automatically from PlayStore. If not you can install them manually too.

Hi Maik, i downloaded the gear app and manually tried to install it. I got the message that cannot be installed because it conflicts with another package same name. See photo attached. I am not sure what can i do. I uninstalled all previous Samsung applications.

This means the Samsung Gear app from PlayStore is still installed.
Check settings > apps and uninstall it > Reboot your phone.

Did that and still get the same message. Does not allow me to install the app.
I always stuck on the same step, pairing the phone and while gear tries to connect then return to the previous screen and do not connect...not sure i got many options here.
