Request - Tasker Interface

Hi All,
Would be great if someone could develop a means of launching Tasker tasks from the Gear S2.
Ideally (my opinion) this would create a number of gear apps on the watch that could be assigned to launch chosen tasks (apps: task 1, task 2, task 3...).
This would allow easy launching of tasks (task apps) assigned to the gear's app shortcut widget.
To illustrate I've attached 2 images. The first shows the Gear S2's app shortcut widget.
The second shows how the shortcuts could be correlated to launch tasks if the tasks were assigned as apps (image from WearTasker a Tasker launcher for Android Wear - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuberob.weartasker&hl=en).
Will value your thoughts.. Is this feasible? Does a Tasker launcher face the same difficulties as faced when porting Tasker to the older Tizen smartwatches or is there an easier way to only launch tasks on a connected phone?
Cheers

yeah
push..any ideas?

Yeah. A dirty method (requires some setup on the Tasker side) but this might be easier to develop: Autoremote is a tasker plugin that lets you react to commands sent via various communication methods including URL calls.
http://joaoapps.com/autoremote/direct/
It might be possible to create a number of S2 apps that each call a specific Autoremote URL (in the background without displaying anything on the watch, or quickly closing the app once the url has been called - for a cleaner UI/no UI other than launching the tasks themselves). These URLs would be set up to trigger Tasker tasks, so opening an app would trigger a Task.
Additionally there would have to be a method of assigning a URL to each S2 app.
This is beyond my ability, but maybe someone would be up to it?
WearTasker is a Tasker app for Android Wear that also produces 3 apps in the app drawer that allow you to launch Tasks directly from there. Maybe we should try to reach out and see if they can do the same for the S2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuberob.weartasker

No Tasker app for the Tizen Gear 1 & 2 & S since few years, so for the S2......

I would really be interested in this also. Would be great to be able to control my home automation via my Gear S2!

No, he said the app will be paid...

Well, it will be paid, but I do care about non-Samsung community. One walkaround I can think of is release the gear app free so everyone can download it, but I will charge the android app. I don't know if anyone has done this before :-/
Have you guys used any apps like that? Can the android app and the gear works together?
Another issue that may come up is that many users may think this is a scam because the app is actually not "free" and rate it bad. I really don't want to mess up this release.

I don't know what you plan on charging but I know writing apps takes time so I will gladly pay instead investing my own time if not necessary.
Hopefully support and updates will be good

I'm actually looking for a simple watch face. Simple as in no fancy design. Digital clock, watch power, weather, date, next appointment. Maybe phone power as well. Similar to the Apple Watch with the selected complications/widgets.

It can be done. I've only seen one developer do it though. One of his apps is called Calendar Analog Watch by Alex Rokhlov. Think he's out of Russia. He puts a free watchface with limited functionality on the Gear apps store. The app requires an Android companion app off the Plays store to work. To unlock all the premium features you do it through a purchase on the Android companion app. It's basically the same system anyone uses to make money off of app development for Pebble smartwatches.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shu.gear.calwatchanalog&hl=en
I think what you want to do from a marketing perspective is do a free version that is limited. Maybe can only fire off one task through tasker. And then for a couple bucks you can unlock the full featured version of the app that will let you have X amount of tasks available. Maybe check out what other app makers did on Pebble and with Tasker, like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kodek.pebbletasker&hl=en

Philips Hue with Gear S2

Hello,

Is there any app to do this?

There's an app available in the Gear store called "Philips Hue Remote" for $5 U.S. (so you probably need a Samsung phone to access it). Have not tried it; the developer listed is Philipe Wechsler.

Is there any posibility to access the full store with my Oneplus 2?

Hi there,
I am the developer of the one and only app currently available in the store and you do not need a Samsung phone as it is an standalone app! Right now the app has everything you'd expect from it, but there will be some significant updates over the coming weeks and months. If you miss something or if you have ideas for an improvement please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Thx!

I installed the Gear apps not from the playstore because they were incompatible. I only installed the apk's.
In my Gear-Store i can only see free apps.

Hi Philippe. As the developer of a great looking app I suggest you petition Samsung to provide non-Samsung phones with access to paid gear apps.
Potential revenue for you and other devs lost because they've placed these restrictions.

Right now you cannot create groups or scenes from the app, but if you create them with the philips hue app on the smartphone, you'll able to see them on your gear as well. In a future version (not too far away!) you'll able to create groups and scenes from the gear as well. Removing/hiding apps might get supported as well later, but first there will be an big update where the homesceen can be customized directly, i.e you will be able to select and sort lights/groups/scenes and other functions you see on the homescreen.

Hi
installation failed. Says connection to Gear is needed. But the gear (s2 classic) ist connected as
any other app is working. Even disconnect and reconnect doesn't work. Any idea ?

Gear needs to be restarted. After having found out that the memory couldn't be calculated I restarted the watch.

Thanks, You're right, I hope they fix it soon. The app ecosystem is presently so fragmented and unsupported that it undermines the worth of an otherwise amazing device.
It's an often reported issue on XDA. Here's a recent thread describing the issue but the problem is also mentioned elsewhere:

Hi Philippe, I just downloaded this app. Works well and looks outstanding! I thought I was going to have to wait for Samsung to release their SmartThings app before I'd be able to control my lights with my S2; So glad that's not the case.
For reference, I have 14 hue bulbs and several groups, including light strips, blooms, and a pile of A19s. You should post this app on https://www.reddit.com/r/Hue/, I'm sure others would be interested as well.

Paid apps availability
Hi guys,
I conntacted Samsung about the issue with the paid apps and non Samsung smartphones. The answer is as expected a bit odd:
"Regarding your inquiry, we would regrettably inform you that only free application could be downloaded on a non-Samsung device, and paid applications will be available in the future.​" ..and some usual blabla.
However I just submited the first update for my app and in the section where the applicable devices can be selected to new Items have appeared:
- "Non Samsung Phone (Android)"
- "Non Samsung Phone (iOS)"
So I have no idea when exactly paid gear apps will be available to all users, but I guess it cannot be too long. In fact I hope that this will even be the case when the update gets available, we'll see

That was my first thought too, but then I'd had to purchase a SmartThings Hub which is not even available in my country so I decided to do it by mself I sure will post it there as soon as I've setup an appropriate page.
Nice setup! Please tell me if you need some additional features as I can imagine you'll need some extra functionality to handle so many lights as you have.

Hi,
I'm waiting for my Gear S2 classic to arrive and I'm wondering if this app or if there is another app for LiFX smart bulbs? I could use TaskS2 app but like the idea of using the bezel to control brightness.

My app does currently not support LiFX and as far as I know there is no other app for this. I've just looked at the LiFX api and I could actually add support for LiFX (or maybe another app). For now I do have other plans, but when the demand for LiFX gets big enough I'll consider adding support for them as well...

Fair enough I doubt the demand would get high enough it's not as popular as philips hue sadly. How difficult would it be for me to try and code it as I doubt anyone would produce an app for lifx sadly.

A rant about the Gear Apps Store

Samsung really needs to do something about the store and put some requirements around the way people upload their apps.
Watch faces do not belong in "Utilities" or "Social Networking" or "Lifestyle" unless they have meaningful real functionality that applies. All this cross-posting of watch faces everywhere just pollutes the store.
No trial or demo mode seems to exist and there is no refund policy (like the 2 hour one on the Play Store). You buy a watch face that looks good on the listing but looks like crap on your wrist and you're stuck with it. You want to compare file transfer apps? Good luck with that.
Watch face listings should be required to post a picture of the ambient mode. Some decent looking watch faces have awful ambient modes but there's no way to tell until you've bought it.
Updates and installations should be able to be queued. Having to wait for one app to finish updating and installing before you can start the next one is kind of annoying.
I find the Gear Apps store to be the worst out there. Compared to the Play Store, the Amazon Underground, the Windows Store, and my god ... even iTunes (or whatever Apple calls their store these days) ... it's atrocious.

I pretty much agree, especially on points #1 & #2.
Fred

Agree!!

Yes yes yes. Also the Samsung app store doesn't show you which watch faces you've purchased.

Samsung requires(pointlessly) two different categories when uploading an app to the store. This is why watch faces show up in other categories. For some asinine reason there's no way of entering a coupon in the store either, yet you can request them on the seller website. Stupid considering a giveaway is great promotion for paid apps/watch faces.

Seriously? Two categories. Clearly I can't throw the devs under the bus on that one. Just more asinine than I originally thought.

So, Samsung should add a category of: "Useless second category, don't look for anything here or do look for everything here". Craziness.
Fred

That is wrong. I uploaded a watch face just today. You can specify 2 categories but it is not required. I used only one categorie and it worked.

It's likely of these unusual category anomalies is by letting the seller 'Tag' their software app for a more visual effect than for accuracy in when looking for apps?...
The iPhone app store as well as the Google Android app store had the same problems in the beginnings...
Once there was a high population of visitors.. To then taken more seriously to the content of applications being appropriately tagged!
and why the Samsung Gear store hasn't been taken seriously as a major player against the obvious competition of Google & Apple!...
Tizen has been around now for a time in Teething problems no longer can be used as an excuse?....
Google & Apple started to clean their act up once a multitude of complaints were posted... problem is??...
There is no easy way to do that in the Samsung app blogosphere?... pity.

Starting from Jan 29, new watch faces can only be in Watch faces category. I'm not sure if existing ones in wrong categories will be removed
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The whole Samsung app store needs a overhaul. Just has a job half done kinda feel about it, put apps in a simple list and let's be done with the UI kinda deal. Not to mention like mentioned, bad app categorization. It bugs me that Samsung come out with pretty good hardware like the S2 yet fail to make the software just as good. The S2 has massive potential yet they don't seem to get apps out there, would be nice if they developed more apps for the S2 let alone other devs but nope they'll probably just give up on it like the did with previous smart watches and while I haven't looked into it, I bet iphone compatibility is lacking features like the ability to send sms messages or can't install paid apps for example instead of making it 100% compatible with all the features available.

Question SGW4 - Cannot be used for contactless payments

Hello everyone,
I tried today pay with my watch, be watch pop up window with message like: "your watch does not meet software standards, so it cannot be used for contactless payments".
I tried add another card with in phone google pay show me that "failed to complete setup for in-store payments".
A few days ago everything worked fine.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Thanks

Yep, in the last few days as well, I tried resetting send removing my account from the watch and re adding, glad it's not just me though and of a larger problem

So I tried also factory reset. After that I am not able to add card do you have same beta app? Like Google?

the issue is with samsung pay or google pay ?

Google pay

Not working for me anymore either. Probably stopped working Monday or Tuesday.

Does anyone have a fix

Ok maybe I found the way how to fix it:
1. Uninstall Samsung health, wear app, plugin, Google pay
2. Reset watch
3. Install apps (Samsung health, Google pay, wear app, plugin)
4. Pair watch with phone

Did it work then I mean paying in a shop with the watch?

Yes, right now tested and worked,finally

Hi guys! I'm having a new issue. Had non-working google pay, did all the steps you recommended. Unfortunately, while adding a card on my phone I'm getting the error attached below.

Did u do all steps? Uninstall wear, plugin, Samsung health, Google pay? Reset watch to factory? Install again application? Do zou have some beta Google app?

I did all the steps (Could only uninstall google Pay updates since it is my system app). I do have Google app as beta, but I can't see how it would be connected to Pay or Google Play services (which is used to add the card to google pay)

Ok maybe I found the way how to fix it:
1. Uninstall Samsung health, wear app, plugin, Google pay
2. Reset watch
3. Install apps (Samsung health, Google pay, wear app, plugin)
4. Pair watch with phone

Click to collapse
basically everything on the phone.... that right?

Any fix for this available? Unistalling and installing again Google Pay doesn't and it was also not fixed with the latest firmware update.

Same for me. I'm now using Samsung pay -- that still works.

Themes / Apps / Mods Kinda googlified Watch 4

So i've been poking about lately with my watch 4 and after some thoughts I decided to somewhat googlify it to the best of my ability and honestly I love how it turned out

Pixel watch face works great on it and all it took was 1 sideload You can grab the apk here
Then I proceeded to nuke most Samsung stuff through ADB I removed the following
The entirety of Shealth deleted and (replaced with google fit)
Samsung pay (replaced with google pay)
Any package that had bixby in it was adb yoinked out and replaced with google assistant
I also removed
Samsung messages (replaced with google messages)
Samsung phone app (replaced with google one)
Samsung keyboard deleted and replaced with gboard which seems to work much faster actually
And generally debloated the watch a bit
Overall works fantastic the only thing that doesn't work after all this is always on display I'm guessing it doesn't want to work cuz pixel watch face is third party etc it will seem like it works but it wont update so it will appear as if time is frozen until you wake the watch up
Another thing that doesn't work (only on stock watch faces) is step counter to be more specific it only doesn't work if watch face can only use Samsung fit for its step count (like all stock faces do) if watch face can use google fit step counter (like pixel one here) then it works flawlessly
But other than it works faster looks nicer and generally I'm loving it
Hopefully soon pixel watch apks will be cracked and we can have launcher etc on our watches from pixel watch or if we're lucky we might get a full on custom rom from pixel watch who knows

Nice work, I wanted to ask if you noticed any difference with battery, if it got better/worse?

Since i nuked all samsung stuff (shealth samsung pay bixby etc) and plus since i cant use always on now due to it being weird I did notice a significant increase in battery life

I did not want the 5 but my 4 classic died. I miss the rotating bezel. I have the 5 pro LTE and the battery life is amazing. I get almost double the battery life.

Just a note, Google Fit can only track heartrate on this watch. If you go this route and nuke Samsung Health, you will lose the ability to scan your stress level, body compisiton, and blood oxygen levels.
Can confirm an extreme debloat will increase battery life significantly however, did that day two of getting the watch. Over 50 apps disabled. The program "ADBAppControl" made by a member here on XDA can make it very simple as well.

Very nice !!!! Since you said you removed all Samsung related app.... Did you also remove Samsung calendar app?? that is the only thing which is left in my watch ... it sucks that google does not have Wear OS calendar app ....and i am king of waiting for Google Calendar app for Wear OS...

calendar is actually the only thing that I left stock as I couldn't find any good replacements but otherwise all is nuked

Does Google Pay activate with the double bottom button press like Samsung pay did?

Do you have a list of apps disabled?

Did you install google clock afterwards? Is your timer working correctly? Does it show the remaining time on AOD?

Hi,
How many extra hours of battery life did you get after removing Samsung apps? Can you please estimate?
To me, the most beneficial part of debloating would be to improve battery life. If the improvement is just marginal, I don't see much the point of uninstalling lots of Samsung apps....

Did someone have a workaround to get all health features of the watch without shealth? Any 3rd party app? Or can I just keep shealth and remove all other samsung apps?

I would love to see the answers for your questions.
Samsung Health uses a lot of battery and I wonder what could be uninstall and still allow heart rate, steps and sleep detection.... Or maybe a 3rd party app as you mentioned
