Samsung WatchON (by Peel) for Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition - FINAL EDIT - Galaxy S 4 General

This thread is no longer needed. As of May 20, 2014, Peel has released their version of the Smart remote for most phones. It shows up in the Play Store for the Galaxy S4 GPE.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.peel.app
If you cannot download this app or any other preferred app, use the following URL:
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
Background:
Sometime shortly after the release of Android 4.3 (not 4.4), Peel stopped supporting our GPe model with this app. I've emailed them repeatedly, but their customer support is...challenged. Literally all they will do is email you back and suggest that you email their customer support... So now we need to take it upon ourselves to ensure that this useful app works on our device. I will use this thread to maintain current working versions for our device.
Samsung WatchOn (Galaxy S4):
-Samsung WatchON 6.4.4 - supplied and hosted by jaykresge
-Samsung WatchON 6.4.2 - supplied and hosted by jaykresge
-Samsung WatchON 6.2.6 - supplied and hosted by dong2007
Samsung WatchOn (Galaxy S5):
-Samsung WatchON 1.2.00.92 - supplied and hosted by jaykresge
Ongoing Request:
If at anytime the Play Store version is newer than what we have available for side loading, I request that someone with a supported Touchwiz variant of the Galaxy S4 download and extract the APK and PM me a link. After I verify that it works on the S4 GPE, I will post a download link for other users, giving credit to the person who extracted it.

Finished testing 6.4.2. It works and is now uploaded.
Of note is that it has a new UI that matches Touchwiz on the S4. Interface is also smoother and more responsive. Old version will be left up for those who prefer the older UI. However, it is my intent to maintain older releases anyway.

The watch-on app had a great update that supports Air-Conditioner remotes (AC) But with the Galaxy S5 version, the AC is gone, any way to fix it, or they just removed it?

You'll have to ask that on the Galaxy S5 forums. This is a Galaxy S4 thread on a Galaxy S4 forum. I only posted a link to the Galaxy S5 version as a reference (so users here don't search "Samsung WatchON" on Google Play, find the S5 version, and tell me that my links are outdated).
If we find that the S5 version works on the S4, I'll check into that for you in the future. But for now, best to post your question on the S5 forums.

I have an S4 I9505 and I have the S5 WatchON because I flashed a rom which included some note-3 or S5 apps (not sure).
The S5 WatchON has a new changed UI but it doesn't have the same features as the old watchON and I just wondered why did they remove the AC remote feature.

That's something that you'll have to ask the developer. Forgive me for not being able to help with this.

The s5 Version works an my s4!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

Does anyone have an issue where it says "Default string" in the notification bar?

Added the S5 version as a download. Please note that I had constant force closes when attempting to use it on the S4 Google Play Edition.
It seems the S4 version is no longer on Google Play. Can anyone else confirm? My link is dead and it's no longer listed under Peel's apps. However, Peel's website is now showing a smart remote app for a phone, which I'm aware of them having in development for awhile now. It's still unreleased at the moment.

6.4.4 hosted, minor update.

As of May 20, 2014, Peel has released the app for the Galaxy S4 GPE and many other phones. It's a universal app using the same core features as their Touchwiz variants with a more neutral interface.

In that case, use the URL that I linked you, and try all three. Use the one that you prefer.

ok, this is weird. when i first saw this post, the samsung app store showed 5/19 for the release date of version 14032701.2.00.92. now it is showing 5/29 (2 days ago) --- for the same version number?!? is there a new version, or not?
i'm on the verizon galaxy note 3. the s5-friendly variant of watchon (which i prefer) isn't available in any stores and neither is the official peel smart remote. :grr:
thanks also... i was able to use the apk in the op and it worked, just trying to keep it current. someday it will be available to all.

[Request] WSJ Tablet APK file compatible with Galaxy Note

I had a functioning version of the WSJ tablet app on my AT&T Galaxy Note before I had to do a hard reset on my phone.
Apparently, the WSJ tablet app in the Google Marketplace is no longer compatible with the Galaxy Note.
I was wondering if someone had created an APK file of the WSJ tablet app (black app logo) that would work with the Galaxy Note?
I tried using the APK version that has been created for the Galaxy Tab, but it did not work properly.
I appreciate any help that members of the forum may be able to provide.
Thank you for your time, and have a great day.

I would also be very interested in this. Enjoyed it on my Xoom so missing it now.
I have just sent an email to [email protected] to see if plans to make the tab app available with the galaxy note.
Stated the phone works perfectly with FT app, Kindle and Zinio.
Doubt I will even get a response.
Search forever, finally found it. Thought I might share. It's not as nice as the version I lost from my phone, but it's workable until wsj decided to be customer friendly.
update
Actually the current wsj apk will install on the note.
Thanks tin_doan
I have just tried the Google Play store again and I still only see the China and Japan mobile apps. Where did you get the current wsj apk?
Please can you upload or is that what is in your previous post?
I want the following https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wsj.reader_t3

AllShare Play App

I have the Note 10.1 and new Note 2 phone, both have AllShare Play app with one significant difference - The Group Cast function seems to be missing from the Note 2 version of this app. I even upgraded my phone to the international version of the ROM (its an ATT phone) with the hope that it would be included, but no luck.
My question is - can an APK be made from the Note 10.1 version of the AllShare Play app so I could side load it onto my Note 2?
Would this even work?
Thanks!
The app is in the new 4.1.2 update for the note 2. But it works between sgn10.1 and sgn2 anyways on 4.1.1
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
I can get the AllShare play to work, thats not the problem...the Note 2 does not have the option to start a Group Cast (found within AllShare Play), or to join one for that matter. And I am running 4.1.1 international ROM (from the N7105), if you know how to get this to work please let me know! I simply cant find that feature anywhere on this phone - I can on my Note 10.1, it work great there with other 10.1 tablets.
Is it in settings, under the wifi and bluetooth there's a folder called extra... If the note settings are like my S3 then it may be in there...
Culd get the group cast option working on the sgs3, I'am not sure right now if it wasn't working before the allshare update that brought the dropbox option, but now there realy is no option to get the groupcast running on my note 2, guess we'll have to wait for the official 4.1.2, but if you need it you try to install the open europe leak.

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.
Duplicate of Samsung gear manager and Samsung accessory service for phones that can't install

SideSqueeze - Add squeeze gestures to your Note8!

I've been working on an app that adds squeeze gestures to any watersealed phone (only tested with Samsung S8+/Note8). I have been using it myself for a while now, but I think it's ready for others to try.
Here is a Play store link.

I'll try it on my LG V30 but I need an APK - Play Store says unsupported device. Thanks.
Can you share apk to test on my S7 edge?
Same as Stark, would love to try on my V30. Thanks in advance!
Awesome, trying it out now on my s8. Thanks
I realize that my phone was not thought about, and nor do I intend to use SideSqueeze (but great work nevertheless), however SideSqueeze just crashes on the Nexus 4 when the selected activity is supposed to occour (I was just testing it for the fun of it.
The Nexus 4 has a barometer, and SideSqeeze shows how hard I am squeezing the phone just fine, however it crashes whenever the desired action (in this case, toggling WiFi) is supposed to occour.
The same thing happens with the ForcePress feature.
I'll try testing a few more activities in the meantime.
Update: Using the home function is hit-or-miss, It works, but only part of the time, however it fails to work at all with ForcePress.
Edit: I had forgotten to post some vital specs:
ROM: CRDroid (based upon Lineage OS)
Android version: 7.1.2
Running Xposed Framework (no Magisk)

The OP has released a Play Store link, there is no need for an APK, even if you run a noGAPPS build (like me).
I like the idea, and I went ahead and purchased premium. I am using a note 8, and the only problem I am experiencing is that the ADB command from the FAQ is returning an error. Can you help?
I'm using an S9 based ROM on my S8, so it doesn't recognise it as a compatible device. I think an APK would be much appreciated if at all possible.
Can we have apk. Our devices can't download it on playstrore
Do not use this app with a popsocket, you will always trigger it when reaching for the notification area or anything on the left side

Sorry about my initial behavior, however I was concerned about the OP being against the APK just being shared.
Let's wait for the OP to say something on the subject, and if you can't wait, then use "Galaxy" app store (based upon "Yalp Store") to download the app (after you log in your Google account).
You can get "Galaxy" from XDA Labs.

It doesn't work in Yalp or Galaxy because there aren't any compatible devices in the spoofing list

That's odd, I had downloaded it it through Galaxy without any issues.
In fact, no app shows up as incompatible for me with Galaxy, even if it really is.

AR Emoji Football Edition on Galaxy S8

Samsung recently released a new app known as AR Emoji Football edition, which can be said as a sequel to Samsung's My Emoji maker but different. Such that it's a standalone app that doesn't require Samsung camera app for functioning unlike the My Emoji Maker.
Although the app can be installed on any Samsung devices running Android 4.4+, but it gets opened only on devices with the Galaxy S9 model number. So in order to open the app successfully on any other Samsung devices require model number edit. But, my S8 being virgin with Knox 0x0 I couldn't test the app personally by changing the model number to that of S9 by simple build.prop edit.
Therefore, I would like to know any rooted GS8 users have tried the app? If yes, was it functional or not? Please reply to this thread and let me know.
Moreover, I'm dropping the APK for those who are interested to play around with and make it functional on Galaxy S8.
