Iv'e sucessfully managed to connect my Gear 2 Neo with alot of custom roms including CM11 / Slimkat with notifications/samsung apps working.
I currently got a samsung GT-I9195 (S4 Mini LTE) running latest NIGHTLY CM11 4.4.4 and got gearmanager and apps 100% working.
1: Download the attached files.
2: First you wanna edit your build.prop to: (I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES DUE TO EDITING YOU'R BUILD.PROP)
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.product.model=GT-I9195
reboot...
3: Install the apps in this order:
GR.GearManagerStub.apk
GearManager1_2.apk (I Couldn't upload APK's bigger than 20MB so please see to THIS thread about the actual Gear manager APK)
goproviders.apk (v. 2.0.27)
SAccessoryService_signed.apk (v. 2.14.41)
SAFotaProvider.apk (v. 2.140442.2011)
SAFTCore_signed.apk (2.0.18.4.1)
SANotiProvider_signed.apk (v.1.0.9.42)
saproviders.apk (v. 2.0.87)
TextTemplateProvider_signed.apk (v.2.3.0)
ConnectionManager_signed.apk (v. 1.1.10)
Gear2Plugin.apk (v. 2.1.14052101)
Here's the tricky part, Install either one of the Hostmanager apk's ive uploaded (either v.2.1.14052101 or v.2.0.14031004) and try to launch the Gear manager app from your desktop link.
if it force closes and says Hostmanager have stopped or Gear manager have stopped, just uninstall the current Hostmanager APK and install the other version of Hostmanager and it should open up and connect.
if it connects just install O_signed_SamsungGALAXYApps_14093005.02.008.1_HHP_GED_oldkey.apk that you just downloaded and try run samsung gear apps from your gearmanager.
NOTE: I have got it working with alot of different roms and different Android versions on my samsung by mixing different versions of the Gearmanager APK's , i have also got it to fully work but without samsung apps on my Sony Xperia L (C2105) Using this method.
i do not guarantee this will work for you, this is the way iv'e done it tho and i just wanna share how I did it.
Will this work on cm 12?

No CM12 runs on ART not DALVIK, and gearmanager is not compatible with ART yet. but it will work on most 4.*.*. ROMS on any phone

But my sgs5 is on stock lollipop rom. And gear manager is working fine with art. Of course, the GM i use is v2.1, above that version gives notification bugs (saprovider fc's) on me even when i was on 4.4.2.

Hi!
How did you manage this to work? Do you have a guide? Which version of GearManager (2.1.14071502?) are you using?
EDIT: Nvm, I saw that you are using Stock ROM.
Yeah gear 2 works with stock 5.0 on my galaxy s5 and tizen mod 3 but only with gear manager 2.1. 2.2 does not seem to work for anybody. I don't know why it has not been fixed or why it was even released. As far as I can tell it literally does not work with galaxy s5 which is pretty much Samsung's flagship. Silly.
Anyways, was wondering If anybody got ANY custom 5.0 ROMs working with gear manager. I'm on pacman 5.0 right now and was thinking of trying the method posted above but I guess I'll just go back to stock until its easier seeing as I want to stay on 5.0 and the custom ROMs for 5.0 are pretty bare bones right now anyways. If anybody has a more simple method please post it!
Is this a solution to my problem with gear manager at S4 with lollipop (gpe ROM)? It's not working for me at all...
Galaxy S IV @ GE 5.0
Gear Manager sits at "Connecting to Gear" screen
I'm able to pair my Note 2 running CM11 with my Gear (running Tizen), but Gear manager is never able to connect. It just sits there spinning at "Connecting to Gear."
Running Android 4.4.4.
Any tips?
TIA,
Dingo
I have followed your guide and say thank you.
It is working with CM11 and a galaxy note 2 lte model.
My only issues no notification work at all upon the neo 2. Even the chinese cheap watches work very well.
I can not believe samsung have hamstrung these watches only to work with samsung android only.
I have a gear 1, gear 2 neo and gear fit. None work with CM11 it seems.
Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful thread.
I'm running on CM11 (KitKat) on my HP Touchpad tablet and changed the build.prop to be the "Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 Wifi tablet". Was able to install all the apks in the order suggested. Ran Gear Manager and it is able to see my Gear 2 Neo smartwatch (yay!). Clicking on the device from the Gear Manager, says "Connecting to Gear" and after a 30-40 seconds, the bluetooth is getting disconnected on the watch. My next step was to reset the watch and start fresh. After the reset, I'm still seeing "Connecting to Gear" for a long time but bluetooth is not getting disconnected. Btw, the Samsung App store app is working pretty good and updating to the newer Gear Manager is still worse where it is not even seeing my paired watch.
I'm running on the stock ROM on the watch and didn't flash it with the Tizen 3.0 ROM yet.
What are my options here? Is there any other way to make the Gear Manager to work?
The main purpose of buying this watch is to pair with my iPhone (for which I think I need to install custom ROM on the watch) and also use "Endomondo" app to transfer fitness data from the watch to the tablet. To use the "Endomondo" app and make it work with the watch, is there a way to bypass the Gear Manager completely and install the Endomondo companion app on the watch?
I'm almost close to getting this work and really hope for a good solution.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Any Idea where I can download Samsung Device Maintenance app for a Samsung still running on Marshmellow - Android 6.0.1?
I accidently deleted the app while doing some tweaking on my phone and would love to re-install it.
Apart from having to factory reset my phone (and thus lose all my customisations done since) I have no idea where to find this App for Android 6.0.1 ???
On Playstore and APKmirror the only versions I can find are for Android 7 upwards.
It obviously does exist for the Android 6 platform as well, as it came pre-installed on my Samsung.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Tx Guys.....
Hello All,
I'm currently using an S9 Port Rom on my S8.

@StonebridgeGr Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, it won't work!

Hello,
anyone facing the same issue?
I've installed the latest official Oreo Update for my Country: G930FXXU2ERE8/G930FDBT2ERE8 (DBT)
After setting all up (with SuperSU) my camera stopps working after a few reboots. Anyone with the same issue?
PS: Happens for me on Dylan`s Oreo V4 too....
Try to clear camera app data
Haven't had any issues here. I'm on through BTU versions. But also, I'm not rooted! Managed to stop myself this time (phone) round.
You can see in my video how to fix it in few seconds https://youtu.be/XJNXWQq7MV0
@TS
Does this work for you or not?
I found out that some library file was missing.
Camera stopped working Completely. Not partially.
@ mod - close plz. Thank you.
Hi everyone,
One tricky thing : I remember that in an older version of OOS I could change Bluetooth codec. It seems that this parameter disappeared in 5.1.2 update ?!
We can still select another codec in Developers settings but it does not change a thing, always coming back to default setting. Does anyone else is facing the same issue or have a solution?
Thanks !
