[GUIDE] Connecting Gearmanager with CM11

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.

Test on cm12.1 note 3 n9005 gear s?

Telenet Yelo Play app on Marshmallow and rooting

Hello,
First of all this is an online TV watching app here in Belgium provided by my provider called Telenet link.
It works fine when I'm not rooted, so no SuperSU installed and no su binary. I did some testing and tried "RootCloak" and "No Device Check" but that causes the app to force close after logging in. What can be the cause of the app force closing with RootCloak or No Device Check enabled? I think the app only checks if SuperSU is installed because I'm using systemless root. But again I'm not certain.
Thanks in advance

Is there any expert who got it working on a rooted device?
Did anyone try an older version of Yelo Play? Do they still work?

keeping an eye on this thread as well hoping someone finds a solution

damm just experienced the same problem. even on my jailbroken ipad

Nope

Hello, looking for the same solution for my android tv sticks. Anybody checked 'Magisk' ? Hope to hear good news

I hacked a version for my personal need (pretty easy to do, but every time telenet comes out with a new app I need to redo the hack because of the update policy) and it is working on rooted devices but it is only for Lollipop roms (5.0 and 5.0.1) and lower.
You can download here, if in the future Telenet updates the app I will try to release a new hacked one.

Thanks civato, this works on my Huawei Mate with Android 4.4.2 I had to uninstall the original version first, update only resulted in streaming problem.
I am interested how you managed to crack or is this a secret you don't want to share?
What is the problem to make it work on Android 6.0?

Android is open source to me so no secrets here.
It is a older yelo play (4.3.0) that I changed. I just change the build version (matching the new yelo play app so it doesn't wan't to update) Then I recompile and sign it.
As 4.3.0 only supports up to Android 5.0.1 and doesn't have the DRM stuff Telenet put in the 4.7.1 and higher , but it was from 4.7.1 that it started to support android 6.0.
Maybe if I got more time to look into the smali files and try to get around to detect method for rooted phones I can get a better solution for this problem.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I will try to use suhide on my new phablet with Android 6.0
I just don't understand why Telenet refuses rooted phones, on a PC you are allowed to be administrator with much more possibilities for "misuse" than on Android.

[Completed] [XPOSED] [Query] VirtualSensor not working on A500M

Hello! I have a Samsung A500M (A5 2015 Duos) running Stock Android 6.0.1 with root, BusyBox, and Xposed.
As you may know, my cellphone does not have gyroscope, so I installed the VirtualSensor module for Xposed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-virtualsensor-emulate-gyroscope-t3424555), and in the GUI appears the Gryo values, but when I enter on any VR app that need gyro, it just doesn't work. Also, I tried GyroEmu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/wip-gyroemu-accelerometer-magnetometer-t3424314), but none of this appear to work. I think maybe the problem is that the Android's Sensor Manager is not receiving the VirtualSensor's data, but it is just a theory.
Can someone help me with this issue please?

MTCD PX3 with android 7.1.2 - downgrade for rooted rom?

Hi!
I have a PX3 MTCD (XRC) quad core 2GB with android 7.1.2 nougat
nougat is nice, but i'm wondering if it is really necessary to have the latest android offering on these units?
would there be a benefit to downgrading to a rooted Malaysk 5.1 rom?
I'm looking for speed and reliability.
Usually I'll have the following running:
nova launcher
neutron for music player (my music is all FLAC files which neutron plays.. also neutron widget is great/stable)
or sometimes pandora
navigation: google maps, sometimes waze
when not actively using navigation apps to get anywhere, i'll have MiniMap overlay on the left half of the home screen and pandora/neutron widgets on the right, just below a Google Now widget (shows weather and some important info)
minimap overlay: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.minimap&hl=en (very cool floating/re-sizable)
I've got a mobile jetpack in the glovebox for data (not sure I can recommend this if you live someplace hot)
Here are some specs of the unit I've got:
CPU Rockchip 3188 Cortex A9 Quad core
RAM DDR3 2GB
Flash 16GB
GPS SIRF III
Loader FORYOU DL-30
Amplifer IC ST TDA7388
Radio IC ST TDA7786
Bluetooth 4.0
Resolution 1024*600
Max output 4*50W
Main Frenqency 1.6GHz
So should I stick with 7.1.2 or would there be much more benefit for speed/customization/?? if I downgrade for rooted rom?
Thanks!

Do you installed the Malaysk rom? I have the same system and i want to downgrade it, but im so confused because ther's not a lot of info. for px3
Please tell me if u do it

Hello there
have you figured any way to root ?

I'm +1 for the rooting question as I have not figured any way to do it yet.

I have pretty much the same unit, for my Kia optima. I tried to install malaysk's rom and recovery asked for nupdate.img, not dupdate.img like all these other threads specify. Even renaming the file to nupdate didn't work, told me invalid firmware. I have another thread asking for advice, but it hasn't garnered a response.

Has in the meantime already someone have found away to root the HU?

XRC Root Solution
Hi All,
Might have something that may help. An img file provided as a root solution but A-Sure (another supplier on the list) but I cannot get it to work I either get a partial file or a complete one. I cant post links due to my current post count but if anyone want the file to check out and maybe figure out where I am going wrong you are welcome. Drop me a PM and I will pass on my G-drive location for the download
Mine is MTCD_XRC_2.54a_1

@Whizzbangles
Hi,
I have the same unit as yours mounted in my 2008 audi TT mk2 and everything works perfectly : bluetooth, steering wheel control, usb sticks...
Didn't try to root or change anything yet. Only issue is "Audroid auto apk I downloaded (not present in my Play Store) is not working.
Still discovering MTCD world...

I would be interested in your settings around the canbus and also just a check on how you have set up the wiring.

I just rooted my mtcd_kld_v2.58_1 with KingOroot. I then upgraded SU to SuperSU and uninstalled KingOroot while still retaining root. Its in one of the threads in this forum.

Yes, Kingoroot does the job. I am still however struggling to get my MF730M working.

Ah, thats the one that crashes on startup. Shame.

It crashes on mine too. Rk3188 px3 with 2gb of RAM. 7.1

Im running the px5. Does it install superuser and give you root? If so, you can install supersu after and uninstall kingoroot and superuser, leaving root with just supersu.

The RK3188/PX3 2Gb N units use a slightly modified SoM compared to the older RK3188/PX3 1Gb L units (the motherboard is the same). @Hal9k_ managed to get the N ROM to work on the older board simply by altering the partitioning so it should theoretically be possible to make the L ROM run on the later units as well.

Elder Scrolls Blades Fix

Hello
Recently Bethesda released Elder Scrolls Blades Early Access but on Our S6 Devices isn't Supported .
S8/S9/S10 and above are Supported so i desided to change S6 build.prop into S9+ build.prop (Only Devices Names )
the think is changed it and still the game would recognize my Device as S6 , so i checked it out and it was true that my Device still is S6 and not a S9+.
Also Android Emulators can't Install Elder Scrolls Blades
Any Idea how to fix it ?
Device : G925F
Android : 9.0.0
Rom : Resurrection Remix 7.0.0
