[Q] Still Having Problems with Apps

I have Feedly, Appy Gear and Vivino installed on my Note 3 , but they do not show up at all in Gear Manager or on my watch. In fact, no downloaded apps appear on my watch. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Gear Manager , reset my Gear 2 and still no luck. The clock faces download and show up just fine.

The apps will install for me , but only on my phone, not on the watch. I have not found an answer anywhere for this as well.

I solved my "app not installed" error. I was running a custom rom and kernel. Went back to stock rooted and solved the problem.

I'm fully stock and un rooted and everything works as it should be. If u are rooted that might be the problem.

I had the same issue on an unrooted verizon note 3. Solution was to install a different version of Gear manager via the link below:
Edit - I dont have enough posts to submit links. PM me for the download link

I have tried all the released versions of gear manager, none solved the "app not installed" for me.

My bad, it wasnt gear manager - it was Samsung Apps.

[Q] Galaxy apps on CyanogenMod 12 Nightly

Sorry if i wrong the place to post my topic, and for my english i am italian and at the school we study how to say Cat and not the important things.
I recently installed on my S4, the last version of CyanogenMod 12 jfltexx Nightly, now i want install the Galaxy apps. I download Galaxy apps Zip. from Xda and now i want know if this zip works on android 5.0.2 CyanogenMod 12.
Thanks for read.

Just try it if you have already downloaded . It won't brick your device atleast I think so you can also extract that zip file and install just apk.
Your english is ok

You can try, but I'm afraid that will not work: Galaxy apps, such as S Voice or Camera, work only with TouchWiz based ROMs. So they will not work on CM.

Ok thanks. For me S Voice doesn't matter but for camera I'm very sorry.
Then all apps like WatchOn, Sky Go, Gear Manager and similar apps work?

It was just an example, I mean ALL Samsung stock apps, so also WatchOn, Gear Manager, Camera, Browser, and so on. I don't know anything about SkyGo, sorry

Ok, doesn't matters. But when i try to install an app, after the download, appears an error message "Installation failed, Try Later (0)" Someone know why?

Ok solved with Cyanogen update. I don't understand why... But Gear Manager not work, Host Manager Crash when i try to connect the Gear.

Getting the GEAR S2 to work with CM13 (or any custom rom)

To get the Gear S2 to work in CM13 follow these steps:
1) In build.prop edit anything that says samsung to something else (I put "htc"). I only found two, manufacturer and brand. This will now break the app store ability to download the app(s)
2) Download and install the APK for the Gear Manager and the Accessory Service (and maybe the S2 Plugin)
example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/themes-apps/samsung-gear-manager-samsung-accessory-t3216240
3) You may encounter some app closures and stuff right away (I did) but wait for a minute and try again, eventually things settle down service launch and you can connect to your gear.
*Things to note: It will make you hard reset your watch, but you won't lose your purchases, just will have to reset everything and re-download everything.
That's it. I have my Gear s2, working with CM13 as we speak.

Also FYI, once done, rerooting does not stop the Gear Manager app from working.

I don't need to do any of that. I can get it to work fine with no issues running cm13 on nexus 6p.i can download apps etc. On occasion I need to u install the Samsung software and reinstall it after an update but that is it. The only issue I have is the Samsung watch update which is encrypted. I need to use my note for that

Yeah we get that if you are on a nexus it just works... this is for the people on samsung phones with rooted roms where it doesn't work...

I don't have a nexus/LG phone so I couldn't tell you for sure, but it doesn't hurt to try it out if you are open to the risks involved. Just make sure you have a backup. Keep in mind that loading the update from the app store will then break the app again. So use the downloaded apks.

Worked, Thanks

can anyone tell me how I come to the build.prop? please

I have big problems with cm13 and the connection to my gear s2 classic! The way from you are OK but every 5 minutes the gear plugin break down and I have to delete the gear with titanium backup and flash it again.... That's bul****!

Same here: it first worked but then I updated the ROM (Resurrection Remix to Jun 2016 version). After that I got Gear Plugin FC all the time. It is to do with the "Notification access" which is enabled for Samsung Gear.
If you disable that no FC anymore. Confusing. Sometimes it helped to disable and enable bluetooth. Grrr. What a mess.

Use the one I linked to. The thread the op linked to hasn't been updated. You probably need the most up to date apk's.

Genius! This is awesome! Lifesaver. Thank you!

It was working until now. It seems like Samsung has changed the way of detecting cm 13. The Samsung Gear App says it can not connect because some Gears are not supported with my phone (S4 mini CM 13).
I changed every "samsung" in the build.prop to "htc" (3x).
Can someone help?

Samsung S3 Gear VS Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Hi all,
i just got my Samsung S3 Gear classic and i was excited to get it working with my mobile. I download the Samsung gear app and turn the watch on, found the watch in the app and followed the messages. It asks to pair the devices and then to download the Samsung plug in and accessory from the apps stores. After completing these actions, the Samsung Gear app tries to connect to the phone and then the screen changes and shows the phone is pair but not connected. See pictures attached. This means i can only pair the phone but i can use the app to enable the functionalities. Every time i tried to connect it just takes me to the same screen. I tried resetting the watch, installing again all programs, tried the watch with Samsung phone (works fine), tried other watches with my mobile (same issue repeated) etc but never made them work.
Does anyone knows how to make the gear app work with the Z5? Are these devices compatible?
Thank you in advance for the support.

My Gear S2 works with my Z5 Compact.

Hi dersie,
did you follow the process as described above and works with your S2?

Yes, installed the first Samsung Manager and it asked for downloading others part like accessory, samsung account and others. After manager searching Gear and after click on my Gear name it launch a screen like your shot, after a while it say connected and asked for loggin on samsung account....

I have a Z5 Premium and it works fine with my S3. Are you on the stock Sony ROM?

The problem might be a rooted or modified phone.
Try this modded version of the gear app:

I just installed the Samsung Gear App. So yes, download them and just install them.
The other 3 apps are installed automatically from PlayStore. If not you can install them manually too.

Hi Maik, i downloaded the gear app and manually tried to install it. I got the message that cannot be installed because it conflicts with another package same name. See photo attached. I am not sure what can i do. I uninstalled all previous Samsung applications.

This means the Samsung Gear app from PlayStore is still installed.
Check settings > apps and uninstall it > Reboot your phone.

Did that and still get the same message. Does not allow me to install the app.
I always stuck on the same step, pairing the phone and while gear tries to connect then return to the previous screen and do not connect...not sure i got many options here.
