Title. Recently rooted and flashed 7.1.2 nougat, didnt realize this meant the gear s plugin would be incompatible and not function on my phone. Has anybody had experience with this issue or know of a possible fix? If all else fails ill flash to something on marshmallow but I really enjoy nougat.
Thanks!
I've got the same problem with my note 4 and my gear S2 !

Ok so the wifey bought me a the Galaxy Gear Watch after the sales rep told her it was compatible with the S3. I researched and sure enough it is now compatible, however I use a custom ROM, specifically CyanogenMod. I am not sure if the watch is compatible with custom rom's.. Does anyone have one paired with their S3 running a custom ROM?
Thanks

I believe the S3 is fully compatible with gear with 4.3 rom. If you're running custom rom try this apk version ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/ibwt5qjpak335d5/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager-1.apk) and cross your finger, if not you have to modify your gear with custom rom in order to make it works..
So has anyone gotten their Gear 2 to work with a Samsung phone running an AOSP ROM? I'm currently running Hyperdrive on my Verizon S4 (MDK bootloader), but really miss AOSP. I saw this thread...

...and wondered if this would be the process to follow, but without renaming the device in the build prop. Any insight would be appreciated!

i think it's the same..

I searched around and found these threads:

Which covers a few questions but not all.
I currently own a OnePlus 3, if I were to flash 7.1 would this break Samsung Pay inside the watch? Based on that thread above, it seems it does for the Pixel.
Would it be possible to be rooted systemless (pass Safetynet) and use Samsung Pay? Has anyone tried this using magisk root to pass safetynet and use Samsung Pay on their watch?
Thank you guys for your time answering these questions. :good:
Android 7.1 isn't supported yet, as far as I know it has nothing to do with root if you're not on a Samsung phone. You should be fine as long as you're on 7.0 or marshmallow.
Awesome, so even if you're rooted and on 7.0 you can still use Samsung Pay?
I'm on 7.1 and rooted. It works fine.
Sent from my Google Pixel XL.
Yes, from what I've read. And judging by the other comment it is possible on 7.1 now, not sure if it was some update or what that allowed it but you don't have to worry about root being the cause of you not able to use Samsung pay.
Hallo there!
I used to root my phones for making them faster and more customizable.
Today my S4 arrived and I was going to root it and install a smooth running Marshmallow ROM but learned the Gear S3 and its according App doesn't like rooted phones. After some research with loads of unnecessary information, I could break it down to these questions:
1) Is it in the meantime possible to have a custom ROM like CM13 with full functionality like answering calls on the Gear? Samsung Pay is not necessary, as it's not available in my country...
=> I guess the answer is "no", as the manufacturer has to be spoofed when installing a custom ROM. Correct?
2) Is it at least possible to install a de-bloated version of the official ROM without getting this "unauthorized modification"-errors?
3) Will applying the CF-Auto Root destroy the 100% compatibility, as it seems to be the "closet to stock"-method to get it at least a little cleaner?
4) Are there any other tricks to de-bloat the S4 without affecting the compatibility to the Gear S3?
(5. Wouldn't the topic of rooted phone with Gear S3 a nice candidate for a sticky?)
Many thanks for your help in advance! :good:

I can tell you gear s3 won't work with Cyanogenmod or Lineage, I tried it myself.
2) Is it at least possible to install a de-bloated version of the official ROM without getting this "unauthorized modification"-errors?
I have a custom rom on my s6 edge plus, as long as it is a stock based rom you won't have any problems and everything will work great.
3) Will applying the CF-Auto Root destroy the 100% compatibility, as it seems to be the "closet to stock"-method to get it at least a little cleaner?
I don't think it will destroy is, I used magisk to root and my compatibility is still 100%
4) Are there any other tricks to de-bloat the S4 without affecting the compatibility to the Gear S3?
if you root the phone, download root uninstaller. This way you can deinstall every app possible, just let everything on your rom you need for gear app.
(5. Wouldn't the topic of rooted phone with Gear S3 a nice candidate for a sticky?)
yeah it would be a good sticky for questions
I hope this helps, all answers are from my own experience using a Samsung S6 edge Plus with a gear s3 frontier.
