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

Hello guys,
I would like to get your opinion about the problem that I am experiencing at the moment. And I am sure there is an easy solution that I can not figure by my own.
I have Sprint Galaxy s6 Edge Plus paired with Gear S watch. And I was so excited when I search is there any GoPro App that I can use with my watch instead of buying the GoPro Remote Controller. And yeah someone already did and looks really cool! So there is an Lite Version and Paid version. So I start installing both at the same time. And my watch start acting weird. I am not sure is it because the installation or something was wrong and I did not notice. But screen is blacking out and some of the apps were missing the icons on the main menu.
So I had to restart the watch couple of times and I did not solve the problem. And then I hard reset the watch (Factory Reset).
But the Galaxy Store still showing the GoPro App for Gear S installing! So I reset my phone as well! ANd then went back to Galaxy App Store. The both App (GoPro Lite and Paid version) shows INSTALLED!
So there is no app anywhere. Anyway I click the app on Galaxy App Store. It says "Move To Gear S" and I do click that. It just brings me to main page of Gear Manager! Nothing else.
So luckly I have the same setup with my wife. So I installed the app successfully on her phone and everything looks good on her end. App is also on her watch too!
I emailed to the App Owner to send me the installation file so I can install manually and get rid of the issue (I guess). I did not hear from him yet!
So I download some apps to see the root files since mine is not rooted! But I can not see any GoPro Gear S related app on the app/app menu or since I am not rooted I see empty on mnt/asec !
If I back up my information with using the Smart Switch I am assuming it will back up all the info that is stored on the phone so I am worrying that Galaxy App store will see the same like installed after the hard reset and restore process which I do not want to waste my time with!
But I still think that there must be a location that Galaxy App Store reading this info and assuming that the app is installed (partially installed and the file that makes the store to recognize as installed is in the file) so if I delete this files I can successfully re install the app and make it easy solution!
I will appreciate for any help!

Hey guys,
I just got a Gear S2 and even though my phone is compatible with the device, Samsung Gear (app) and Gear S Plugin (app), both appear on my Google Play Store as Non Compatible.
Because of this, I donwloaded both latest versions from a mirror site (apkmirror). Everything seems to be working fine, but I'm doubtful about puting my credit card in (so I can buy some apps) ... since I'm not using the official source of the apps.
Any ideas on this subjetc?
Thanks in advance

I would trust apkmirror. I use it all the time and all the apps on apkmirror ive used appear as installed from Google play, so they haven't been modified in any way. I would be comfortable putting my credit card on it.

Hey all,
I recently got s10+ after years with Google phones.
Not sure it's a new thing or not but I found a Samsung app called Secure Folder installed.
I quite like it and tried to install it in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 but it says incompatible in Google play store hence can't download it.
What is a good alternative for Secure Folder which is compatible for older devices ?
Thanks
I think I may have gone too far with debloating through ADB. I did most of the work months ago with excellent results. But lastnight out of curiosity, whilst going through apps and storage, I saw that I had missed several samsung apps, and wanted to free up some space so I pulled up ADB, and removed anything pertaining to:
Samsung Upday, push service, Samsung Pass, pay, and samsung cloud. Also any package that had knox in the name.
Since doing this, Gapps no longer works. I can still open up the play store, but if I click to install an app, it does not respond. There's also no longer a tab to show my installed apps, apps won't update etc.
Does anyone know which samsung package I deleted is critical for playstore to function? Thanks.
