Hi everyone,
I am very sad to find out that my stock ROM distribution does not have the permissions manager, startup manager, virus scanner included. Do you guys have any idea how to get those apps, preferably by installing them, not by flashing with another rom?
Thanks a lot!
I've got the international honor and would like to know this as well!
Some of those apps are hidden and you can unhide them for example the permission manager. The sad thing is, you can activate the permission manger but it wont work
could someone using the l01 emui 3 update on l04 tell me if these apps work? i might just try updating then
I have installed the L04 on my L12 and the permission manager did not work. I unhide it and activated it but no functionality
I'm interested to know too, expecially to enable the encryption option.
I'm trying to connect my Gear 2 to my HTC One M8 running 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble installing the APKs. I managed to get passed the "Samsung gear stopped" error, but now I can't connect to the Gear. I found some installation instructions but it mentions installing the "GearManagerStub.apk" to SYSTEM/APP and I can't figure out how to do that.
Does anyone have solid installation steps I can follow? I'd appreciate it.
Update - I have the Samsung Gear app running, and the Gear 2 is paired with my phone via bluetooth, however when I select "connect", the application does nothing.

Looks like it will not work with M8 on lollipop or any non-Samsung with lollipop.

Actually I got it working a couple of days ago. So far, everything is working great.
Did this with unrooted HTC m9 and unrooted Gear 2 with latest FW.
Deleted all the files installed on phone from gear manager.
Download latest GM files (extract/ed from APK)
Install every apk except Host Manager and install Gear Manager App as last
Open GM and connect your Gear 2. As soon as it tries to install Host Manager hit home button/go to your file explorer App on your Phone and install Host Manager 2.2.14100299
Open GM again and cancel Host Manager installation.
Have a little patience and it should show you the option to accept the terms.
Set Notifications in GM App on your phone.
If you prefer Root for Gear then you can root your Gear without problems and you don't have to do this all over again.
Sideloading APK's working fine, had S Voice running but coulndn't connect to watch yet.
Changed Bootscreen, sounds and more without problem.

Afaik the only option to use Galaxy Apps and get the link in GM is to change buildprops to GT-I9500 fe but i don't use that option and my M9 is the only phone i have atm which isn't rooted.
I have notifications fully working and contacts are listed on my watch.
Search XDA for some Apks made compatible for this watch like Gear Web., works great. Well, even Watch Styler is working flawless.
thanks man

Tried crazy to get it working with my HTC One but it doesn't work. i changed my build.prop too but could not get the gear working with the mobile. I guess it has something to do with lollipop. However, i can use market on my samsung s5 active. This is bad publicity for samsung lollipop. I want to get rid of Samsung this is why i want my gear 2 to work with HTC so bad. Though i could get it working, but the galaxy market store is not accessible until or unless i downgrade it to kitkat. i have seen plenty of workarounds in Xda to make almost any android working with the gear. (means using each and everything the gear is mend to do with the samsung phone).
I might switch for moto 360 if this doesn't work
Thanks for your help buddy!!

Search XDA for the latest Galaxy Apps apk (hint: Galaxy S6 topic, find latest GM aswell), download and install the apk. When u changed buildprops to fe: GT-I9500 with the other changes, Brand and MF it should allow you to use the store.

My conditions are pretty much exactly the same except I have a M8 and not a M9. Would this work for me? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
I just installed CM12.1 (the latest snapshot available for Samsung Galaxy S5) and I'm unable to use the Gear Manager. I tried installing it from the Play Store as well as some linked APK's, but every time I launch it I get this error:
The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorised way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.
This is a really ****ty error message - what in my OS exactly am I supposed to check
Anyway, after some googling I've been unable to find a solution. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Similar issue so < bump >
I know it isn't simply that I have rooted the phone, because when I go back to stock I root the stock lollipop and the Gear Manager still works, so it must be something in Knox or something Samsung specific that is missing from the CM ROMs
any advice would be appreciated
i couldn't install the google dialer apk on my honor 8 phone (FRD-L04). Tried sideloading various versions of it downloaded from apk mirror, nothing get installed.
Could somebody help out if you have managed to install the same
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
Google store says my phone isn't compatible.
Are you rooted?
Is your phone rooted? It's the only way this will work.
Take this apk, use a root file explorer (I like solid explorer) and copy it to root/system/priv-app. Then edit the read/write permissions ( I usually enable everything).
You can also use link2sd to make the apk a system app.
Then just reboot your phone and you should be good to go.
You'll have to go to apps, settings, pick defaults, and choose it as the dialer.
Also, if you are rooted, you can then delete the stock dialer, but be careful, you might delete the wrong thing and then no phone for you. (I had that issue, but a kind forum member was able to get me the missing apk)
If somehow it DOES get messed up, you'll have to reflash via dload, or get the correct apks and place them on priv-app (again, if you're rooted)
thanks for the reply.. i don't want to root my phone though..

yeah same here...
Not sure how the compatibility check works..
Google has published these contacts and Phone / dialer app in play store. but its not installable in all phones..
i followed another thread..
and installed google contacts sync apk, (gave it all permissions) then contacts apk and then dialer apk, this way i am able to get the dialer app installed (but its version 3.x only, other versions i couldn't get install),
Now i got the Dialer icon (blue) one it opens the regular dialer interface. but when i make call the interface goes to Honor 8 dialer app interface.. not sure how this works..

I know this is a few months old...
I was looking for a higher version number of Google Dialer that could be compatible with the Honor 8.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only version compatible: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...71529-nonnexus-android-apk-download/download/
I've used this very same version on my Moto X Pure.

This is best compatible with AOSP ROMs.
Wasn't the first question about installing Google Dialer on an Honor 8? It was even stated that they tried to sideload multiple different versions as well... from APK Mirror... the same place I shared the link from. I merely wanted to state that the version I linked to is the last version that I know personally works on phones that aren't Nexus/Pixel. All you can do is try it or not. It works. Just download, install normally, set it to default app.
The dialer installs just fine on the honor 8. I'm running it right now. There's a few threads about how to do it correctly here on XDA. First rule, search before asking.

This isn't a new thread - it's months old. Someone just resurrected it by adding a new comment. And yes, the app can be side loaded onto the Honor 8, but it will only be the dialer and contact list UI. The in call UI will remain stock and caller id will not work.
Results with rooted devices may vary though.
Dear,
I have a problem installing an application on my new Huawei Mate 10 lite. I installed the open, but on opening it says the device modal is not compatible. Is there a way I can have the application running on my device? the application is a dictionary and I am in a dire need of it, for I use it for my studies. I would appreciate any help that would get the app running. Thank you

You're trying to install it from Google play or from an APK file ?
I installed it as an APK file. It was working fine on my old Samsung Galaxy S5, as I had it downloaded from Galaxy App Store. The latter is presumably the only place where this application exists for free. I downloaded it from Galaxy App Store, installed it on galaxy s5 and shared the APK file by means of another sharing app. It installs, but it does not run. It says "device modal not compatible".

Yes , that's a kind of " protection " for Samsung , I had the same problem with gear fit manager , an app from Samsung to make a smartwatch work . That was the only way to make it work but Samsung didn't allow to run this app on low-end Samsung devices and others devices.
Unfortunately , I can't do anything.
I believe that there should be a way to install it, since it is not an application that Samsung built. The only thing is that it is offered for free by Samsung. I can't find it any elsewhere, at least the same exact version that I am looking for, but on the Samsung app store. So, I tried to share it, but it never worked. I saw somewhere on this website how to install it, but requires the phone to be rooted.

Yes , it may be the case , because I think you have to fake your device name or something like that.
But I haven't the sufficient knowledge .
Maybe a longer search will be helpful , I hope you'll find the way to do this
