Is there a way to sideload apps to the watch. As i don't have all the apps is the gear store. it seems there are regional restrictions
Do You have any app You want to install in file?
Because there is this app - Filesmaster - which will let You upload any file to the GearS2 and view it in the smartwatch (not sure about installer though).
Yes you can with sdb.
see here for how to connect the gear s2:

Hi thx for the reply.

hi,
I have found just one watchface that fit well on GearS2.
it's deskclock (present for free on the store)
you can download here :

you can sideload it with sdb. but before I think you must obtain a certificate file for your watch from samsung
I have a question about possibly plausible.. I have a Samsung gear s2. Bought it to access Google play.. is there a way to get Google play on the watch?

I am gonna secure one today from BB. I looked at google play and cannot find a Tizen app that communicates with S2. Samsung phones have a gear app that will communicate with their watches. I looked up Samsung.com and could not find info.
How does one install tizen apps on Gear S2 watch? from the watch itself?
You will need to download the Samsung Gear app.

I'm using an LG G3 and I had to install the Gear Manager app from the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager
Once I connected my watch it prompted me to install a couple other plug ins and sign in to Samsung, but it wasn't confusing to get it going.
I have a Padfone S and the store won't let me install it. I had to download the APK from another APK repository to install it. Seems to work OK so I don't see why they won't let me download the app from the Play Store.
Hey, has anyone managed to get a tpk for the tizen store?
I'm keen to see what could work on my S3 classic
Can you try to explain?
Tizen Store what I know from Z-series (Mobiles) seems differ from Store for Gear series...
If you check Gear S2/S3 Firmware... you can find:
com.samsung.gearstore as TPK...
Extract from rootfs.img...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71002094&postcount=32
For me it looks like... all Gear TPK and WGT are stored on ""Android Server""... like APKs...
Tizen Store is the Kid Version...

Hey Adfree,
Thanks for replying.
I was wondering if someone has managed to extract the Tizen store and install it on a gear s3.
The reason behind this thought is that the application layer should be compatible to some degree and enable user the ability to test apps that are available on the Tizen store.
I will give extracting the image and getting the TPK installed on the gear, later today.
While the gear s3 is a nice piece of hardware, the software support is still poor and if it was possible to get other packages working on the s3 via the Tizen store (even if they are not visually aligned to the gears design), it's still a far stretch better then no app at all lol.
Thanks
Attached little Video... from my SM-Z130H (Mobile)...
"Gapps" is taken from SM-R760 Firmware... but for Installion this TPK.
I was forced to sign with Platform Cert... :angel:
Problem 1.
Gear Series and Mobile Z series use few different Certs... for/from "Store"...
Problem 2.
Different Screen sizes...
In case of my Video example...
Gapps not start because Gear System related Info file not found...
My "idea" is to try few Gear Apps...
BUT since few days...
I saw many of Apps I would like to try... are paid apps... for Gear Watches...
For instance Filesmaster... to check if it would work also on Tizen Mobile...
As few of our users have little problem...
Long time ago we had Gear Manager Beta app... for Gear S2
Now Tizen user with SM-Z300H, SM-Z200F and so on can only use Computer with SDB Tool... to Pull or Push few files...
Best Regards

Hey guys,
i just bought my first smartwatch and am pretty excited about it.
Anyway I was searching what apps are available to download for my S2 and saw that Yelp made an app called Yelp for Gear. I was trying to search for this app but nothing popped up in gear store and it seems like for some reason they took it down from the store.
Now I know that you can sideload apps just like the phone so i am wondering if there is a website like apkmirror where they store all the apps (but for our s2) so you can download and sideload them yourself?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry.
In Tizen World most users are scared to backup... so also "sharing" backups.
This is also big difference to Android...
Best Regards
Hi
I have installed the watchamker apk but when I choose any watchface I have to install the watchmaker companion and it is not possible to get it and I got the attached message of this application is no longer avialable or is not supported in this country or device.
Please advice

Same problem. I asked dev for advise and respond me this:
Apologies - Samsung removed the Companion App for WatchMaker from Galaxy Apps Store.
This was due to Samsung requiring a change in our business model so that we should sell watches on the Samsung platform, as well as on Google and Apple.
We are working closely with Samsung to get this resolved as soon as possible and have already submitted a new version for Samsung to review.
Once the new version is approved, it will work exactly the same as the current version and will not force any additional purchases.
Updates will be posted on this thread below :

Is there any other good apk for watchfaces??
Guys I don't get it. I had an LG watch in 2014. I was very happy with watchmaker and there were even bigger communities for watchfaces. All faces were free from the community, very few were priced. I installed the samsung gear watchmaker app (3 swiss francs), and most of the faces cost 1 franc (just the same as on the galaxy app store). Am I missing something? If I buy the premium app (4 swiss francs) from the google play store, do I get all the paid watchfaces for free or how does it work?
Paid Watchmaker app is just to possibility use infinite faces in the app, not to have infinite paid faces free
Hello
I want to install some apps I see from apple store or other indenpendant stores. Because the galaxy watch store is very poor in terms of choice. So my question is, Is the galaxy store the only way to install apps ? I try to connect Gear s3 to the google Wear Os, but it refused.
Thanks for time

Apple store is for other platform (iOS, watchOS, iPadOS) while Galaxy Watch or Gear is using Tizen OS platform which very different. So there is no way to install apps directly from apple store.
PS: your question is like how to install iOS apps on the Android phone. Lol
What about an apk website for smartwatches?

Tizen cant use apk file as installer file. The installer file for Tizen is tpk.
