[FIX][TW][KK][LP]Saproviders & Notification Errors | Gear Manager v2.2.1501799

Saprovider error occurs only when our phone is modified (i.e rooted, custom rom and/or recovery, knox triggered)
Long story short, this will fix the irritating Saproviders force close on v2.2.xxx of gear manager giving our full control to our gear back. And no more sticking on v2.1.xxx, most importantly, no more "Gear Manager needs to be updated..." cr*p.
Requirements:
1. Root Explorer or any other similar app
2. (Optional) Mobile Data and/or WiFi (to download/update gear manager and other components)
3. Modified GearManagerStub.apk found below
4. A supported/(unsupported?) phone
5. A samsung Gear 2/2neo/S (duh!)
Procedure:
1. Unpair the Gear from the Phone (Optional but Recommended)
2. Uninstall Gear Manager and all its components
3. Download the modified GearManagerStub
4. Replace the GearManagerStub from system/app with the modified one
5. Make sure the permission of GearManagerStub.apk is 644 (rw-r--r--)
6. Reboot
7. Download and install the Latest Gear Manager from below or from GALAXY Apps
8.1 Open Gear Manager and let it install its components if you have downloaded from galaxy apps; or
8.2 Download the components HERE directly, and install it one by one.
9. Pair the smartwatch (if unpaired) and connect
10. Profit.

Won't unpairing and repairing delete everything in your gear

Unfortunately, yes, you can reinstall the apps in the samsung gear apps.
BTW. I didn't unpaired my gear the first time I tried this, unpairing+repairing is just a precaution.

Waow thanks man! Can you explain to me why I need to uninstall everything ? Can't I just go and replace the GMstub.apk ?

That's also a precaution. I haven't tried doing that but I think it should still work as well.

Well I tried and sacrificed
It didn't work and putting back the old one didn't work neither.... so use all the precautions, they are useful!

Gonna try and do this with my M8 and see if I can use the new Gear Manager without the HostManager force close popping up..

Whoa? Really? I tried it with 2 different roms and everything was fine. Have you tried using the components I uploaded instead of downloading it directly from GearManager?
Sent from my SGS5 SM-G900F (0x1) using Tapatalk.

No, I didn't use the components you provided... that was my next option, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Regrettably, I tried both ways and I still get the FC. It happens when I try to set up an email account in Gear Manager

Quick question: Would this work with a no touchwiz rom in a samsung phone? I have a note 2 and i would love to use a CM12 rom, also i hate the slugish touchwiz.

Hi, anybody tried this with Gear 1 tizen?

download fail from gear manager
Did someone can help me?
I've install all the apk file and when I pair the gear to me phone, gear manager always write download fail...

Ok, this could be related to the same problems as installing the gear manager in a no samsung rom. In this thread i pointed the problem for android 4.x roms.
To install the services necessary to use the gear.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54733680&postcount=4331
to fix "installation error" within samsung store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55090274&postcount=1496
So, could we try to do this but with Lollipop Samsung S5 files?
We would need the files equivalent for GR.GearManagerStub.apk from a Samsung S5 rom and the APK for the Galaxy Store. Then modify the build.prop to identify as Samsung S5 and try.

I'm connect to the Wifi and this morning i've try on LTE and the same thing appears.

Sure wish there were a way to have the new gear manager without that host force close popping up on non Samsung phones.. I just installed on my HTC one and it paird great but get that host fc

Weird that the Samsung Gear app I download from Samsung Apps is an older version than the one you are providing. I don't have the FC problem but doing this in hopes that the Gear 2 can connect with S-Voice. It's been failing it's connections.
Anyway, no such luck here...starting to get frustrated with Samsung.
Update: Seems that Gear Manager won't update to the version number of your apk. Although it looks like it is taking the update, the version number in the app still shows 2.2.14110499

[Q] Need some help connecting Gear 2 to HTC One M8 running 5.0.1

I'm trying to connect my Gear 2 to my HTC One M8 running 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble installing the APKs. I managed to get passed the "Samsung gear stopped" error, but now I can't connect to the Gear. I found some installation instructions but it mentions installing the "GearManagerStub.apk" to SYSTEM/APP and I can't figure out how to do that.
Does anyone have solid installation steps I can follow? I'd appreciate it.
Update - I have the Samsung Gear app running, and the Gear 2 is paired with my phone via bluetooth, however when I select "connect", the application does nothing.

Looks like it will not work with M8 on lollipop or any non-Samsung with lollipop.

Actually I got it working a couple of days ago. So far, everything is working great.

Did this with unrooted HTC m9 and unrooted Gear 2 with latest FW.
Deleted all the files installed on phone from gear manager.
Download latest GM files (extract/ed from APK)
Install every apk except Host Manager and install Gear Manager App as last
Open GM and connect your Gear 2. As soon as it tries to install Host Manager hit home button/go to your file explorer App on your Phone and install Host Manager 2.2.14100299
Open GM again and cancel Host Manager installation.
Have a little patience and it should show you the option to accept the terms.
Set Notifications in GM App on your phone.
If you prefer Root for Gear then you can root your Gear without problems and you don't have to do this all over again.
Sideloading APK's working fine, had S Voice running but coulndn't connect to watch yet.
Changed Bootscreen, sounds and more without problem.

Afaik the only option to use Galaxy Apps and get the link in GM is to change buildprops to GT-I9500 fe but i don't use that option and my M9 is the only phone i have atm which isn't rooted.
I have notifications fully working and contacts are listed on my watch.
Search XDA for some Apks made compatible for this watch like Gear Web., works great. Well, even Watch Styler is working flawless.

thanks man

Tried crazy to get it working with my HTC One but it doesn't work. i changed my build.prop too but could not get the gear working with the mobile. I guess it has something to do with lollipop. However, i can use market on my samsung s5 active. This is bad publicity for samsung lollipop. I want to get rid of Samsung this is why i want my gear 2 to work with HTC so bad. Though i could get it working, but the galaxy market store is not accessible until or unless i downgrade it to kitkat. i have seen plenty of workarounds in Xda to make almost any android working with the gear. (means using each and everything the gear is mend to do with the samsung phone).
I might switch for moto 360 if this doesn't work
Thanks for your help buddy!!

Search XDA for the latest Galaxy Apps apk (hint: Galaxy S6 topic, find latest GM aswell), download and install the apk. When u changed buildprops to fe: GT-I9500 with the other changes, Brand and MF it should allow you to use the store.

[GUIDE] GEAR 2 + CM 11 4.4.4 on Dev S5

[GUIDE]
GEAR 2 + CM 11 4.4.4 on Dev S5
Note: I have done this 4 times and this has worked 4 times
NO HOST MANAGER ERROR OR FORCE CLOSES
MY DEVICE;
VZ Samsung S5 Dev. Ed.
CM11 4.4.4: Rom file that I used was cm-11-20140831-UNOFFICIAL-klte
Recovery: vle twrp v2.8.0.1
( For some reason my twrp backups dont work can someone help me out please)
Note: This is the only method. I tried everything else. I also tried this on lollipop roms but none of them worked (also receiving text messages and dial pad doesn't work for me while in a call aka inputting voicemail password)
Ok so I tried to find a way to install my Gear 2 on my Aosp CM11 Rom
I couldn't find anything so after a couple hours of research I did it. These are the steps:
First make sure that your gear 2 software is update on the gear. Download Kies 3 if its not. Then after this You have
to Root your Gear 2
Use this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/rom-tizenmod-3-0-skin1980-t2850351
You just have to Flash the tar file to the gear, if you want to install themes and everything else then you will
have to install Tizen SDK but its not necessary to move forward
Next I followed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949&highlight=ro+product+model=gt-i9505
Where it says samsung Devices With custom Roms:
You Must change that as it says in that step: I used es file explorer and its text editor:
Leave build.prop open and go to the step that says GetFIt Apps Working (optional):
And change all of them as they did in this step : The only one I skipped was ro.product.model (which i did not find)
and I also added an " =SM-900S " to "ro.product.deviece"/
reboot the phone!!! or it wont work
I then went to this website:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager
and I downloaded:
2.2.15011799
the .apk file
and then I downloaded everything in the extracted folder:
the 3.apk files in it:
Then I went back out:
and i downloaded the GearManagerStub.apk file which is located in the folder named gear manager stub;
so I Installed all the files first to the phone ( i installed the gear 2 app last): dont open anything till you install all the .apk files
your gear should be in reset mode (if not, just reset it), i Then opened the app and it installed updates (4 updates)/ PLEASE BE PATIENT/ a menu came up on both screens phone & the gear. (Pairing menu)
i then hit pair/ after the release notes came out on my phone I then hit accept twice on my phone and then hit next. The app connects then it force closes. I then re opened the app and it worked!!
Everything seems to be working !! The apps seems to work fine with out any issues or errors.
I just did research i wanted to share:
Thanks to everyone on xda and everywhere else i borrowed the files & links from

Samsung Gear Manager crashes after installing CM

Hello everyone,
I just installed CM12.1 (the latest snapshot available for Samsung Galaxy S5) and I'm unable to use the Gear Manager. I tried installing it from the Play Store as well as some linked APK's, but every time I launch it I get this error:
The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorised way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.
This is a really ****ty error message - what in my OS exactly am I supposed to check
Anyway, after some googling I've been unable to find a solution. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Similar issue so < bump >

I know it isn't simply that I have rooted the phone, because when I go back to stock I root the stock lollipop and the Gear Manager still works, so it must be something in Knox or something Samsung specific that is missing from the CM ROMs
any advice would be appreciated

Samsung Gear S2 not working on Nexus 5X running LineageOS 15.1

Hey
I rooted my LG Nexus 5X yesterday and was able to install lineageOS and run it successfully. But today, I noticed that I am unable to get the Gear S2 to be paired with the phone in the morning. And when I tried in the evening, I uninstalled the Gear Wearable app(which isn't compatible with the device according to Play Store, but I tried an apk which installed in the morning) and tried reinstalling it with the same apk, but this time, it didn't get installed. I just keep getting "App not installed" when I try to install the apk with the inbuilt package installer.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Apoorv

So, getting the watch to work is going to involve editing the build.prop file. You will need a file editor(like Total Commander) and superuser permissions(Root). Edit all mentions of "LG" To "HTC".
You will also need to install the apps needed to support the watch via apks.
