I messed up and bought a Samsung Gear S2 watch to go with my Galaxy Note 4. It requires initialization with Samsung Gear app on the phone. The watch won't do anything, even display the time, until initialization is complete. You get an error message about an incompatible operating system. So I returned the watch.
I need recommendations for smart watches that will work with a rooted phone running CM 12.1. Thanks.
Is anyone using a smart watch with CM 12?
I bought the Huawei Watch today, and it works perfectly. Synced up immediately, no problems.
I'm using the Facer app, and I'm already making watch faces.

I have just bought a gear 2 neo smartwatch and cannot get it connected with my phone. I have a samsung galaxy s2 model # sght989d. The phone is running cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.3). The watch will pair with my phone and receive calls no problem however I cannot get it initialized to even use it as a clock lol. All I see when I turn on the watch is "To Connect your Gear, first download Gear Manager via Samsung Apps on you're mobile device" with an option to show a preview video or hit next. I have tried multiple version of gear manager and got the phone to pair no problem however it is not an available device. I understand that it will never fully work with my phone due to how old it is and its lacking a bunch of features. I just want to use the basic features and have the time on my wrist is this possible.
Thank You :good:

Have you tried this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862
After working with it for about a day or so, I seem to be at a loss as to how to connect my Gear S3 with my Note 4 Smartphone. It is running CM13. I am unable to use the Gear App from the play store as it tells me my device has been modified in an unauthorized way.
I attempted the Android Wear app as well. I modified my build.prop from userdebug to user and it let me connect, but the watch doesn't do anything different--it still remains on the samsung gear screen.
I realized there'll be limited connectivity if I manage it, but is there a way to connect the two?
Hi,
I own a smartphone Samsung Galaxy S3 (android 4.3, not rooted).
I would like to buy the Gear 3.
But will I be able to use the watch?
Will I be able to see SMS, missed calls, ... from my S3 on the Gear 3?
Will I be able to connect with bluetooth?
What other functionality will or will not work? I couldn't find this back anywhere.
I also own a Samsung Note 2014 edition. Will this be of any use?
It is working fine with my Xiaomi mi5

Hi Boeboey,
I have been using Gear S3 frontier sine last 2 weeks with my xiaomi mi5 and it is working fine. All we need to do is if it is a non-Samsung phone there is a plugin available in play store which helps to connect the watch any any phone basically.
As of now I'm able to get notifications form my phone for whats app, sms, calls(we can answer and dial), facebook, Google now, hike, Navigation using Here maps and some other purchased applications like sleep like driod, alarms etc... basically you can configure in the plugin for the notifications you receive.
Even we can reply to the messages from the watch itself if you are interested in doing so.
I'm not very sure on the features works only with Samsung phones and Gear s3. Let me also know if anybody else know.
Hello,
I'm using older Samsung Gear watches:
Galaxy Gear SM V700 (camera on side of band)
Gear 2 (camera on face)
Gear S (widest and fatter screen)
Gear S2 Classic.
I have had every single one paired with the S10e for over a week. A week (give or take) later, the SM V700 went back to the bluetooth and NFC pairing screen. It refuses to pair again.
Here's what I've done so far:
Clear the bluetooth cache
Clear the network settings.
Uninstall all Gear Wearables and Gear related apps
Re-Install all of the necessary Gear related apps.
Shut phone off and on, rebooted, and re-started and turned completely off again.
Uninstall all watches and exclusively added SM V700 by itself
Went into T-Mobile for help (2 different locations, last locations got it connected)
Went into UBreakIFix (as directed by Samsung support) for help and they were clueless this watch exists
Spent oodles of time on Samsung Tech support
Tweeted and DM'd Samsung Support with no real help there
Please do not suggest upgrading the watch as I have had this one connected but it disconnected somehow.
Please don't suggest connecting it to another S10 phone as a S10+ owner has it connected to his watch.
And no, I did not consider rooting it it nor using Kies (if it's even possible)
Thank you for any help/thoughts you can provide.
PS - it was last used on a Note 5 and all of the warthes worked on the Note 5 for over 2 years.
The SM V700 is seen by the bluetooth app and the Gear app but times out connecting to the phone.
Hi, I own a tab s6 lte, rooted with magisk.
My situation is that the tablet is my daily device, which does not support the galaxy watches series. The Wearable app does not show up options to pair with samsung smartwatches, and the galaxy store return errors saying my tablet is not supported whenever I try to use the "Watch" section in the store.
However, I followed this guide and got my watch paired with the tablet: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...h-a-rooted-galaxy-tab-s4-android-9-0.3931474/
So turns out this is just a cheap software-wise trick from samsung, my watch got access to the galaxy store, but not for long. As soon as I connect the watch to the tablet through bluetooth (after rebooting from resetting the custom fingerprint and props), the galaxy store stop working, for both of my devices. So every time I need to update my apps on galaxy store, or want to download an app, I have to change the fingerprint, and set custom props. I can't stay with the custom identity, as some of the props, especially setting "ro.build.characteristics" to "phone" make my ui looks weird and "overly compact"
So I'm looking for a solution to help running just 2 selected specific apps with custom fingerprint and props, hoping anyone can help.
