Has anyone managed to create a simple hello world gear s3 application?
The process of getting and signing certificates only adds to the frustration with the lack of documentation.. I can't get demo anything on the actual watch itself..
I did. Not that hard...
I had a hell of a time doing this last night. Kept on getting an error while trying to deploy my hello world app to the watch. I finally figured out that I didn't install the certificate plugin under tools in the package manage (Or something like that. Don't have it in front of me now). Once I got that installed I was able to create the required Samsung certificate (not the Tizen one). With that done my app then installed just fine.
Not sure if I missed in the documentation what exactly needed to be installed with the package manager to install apps on a physical device but I couldn't really find much information when looking for solutions to the error I was getting.
I have an iPhone so i cant get Spotify in the Gear Manager.
I was wondering if anyone could upload a .wgt file of spotify so that i could manually install it into my gear using SDB. If i manage to get it to work, I'm going to make a guide to help everyone else. Thanks
I wanted some new earbuds for the gym that would actually stay in my ears. I watched a lot of reviews on YouTube. I considered Air by crazybaby Nanos till I heard of the connection problems they had with the Micros. Finally I found the 2018 model of the IconXs.
The IconXs aren't going to blow you away, but they are a very good alternative to Airpods. Especially if you want more of a closed ear for passive noise canceling. They also majorly improved the battery life over last year's model. I was also able to buy them for $150 instead of the normal $200, because of Black Friday.
They have one Achilles heel though. The Android app only wants to work on Samsung phones. For other Samsung Gear someone created a modified app, and posted it to XDA. But the support for IconXs is added by a plugin. There is also one for the older model, and one for the newer model. For extra fun the app and the plugins have to be signed with the same key. But since the new 2018 plugin is so new, it hasn't been posted on XDA.
The app makes it easier to pair them with your phone. It lets you remap gestures and taps for control. It lets you load music on the 4gb of internal storage. It lets you control if it mixes in the environment with what is playing.
I am really disappointed in Samsung for locking the app to their phones. They seem to be a good to great hardware company, but seem to not understand software on some level.
I had to download the modified app, and the 2018 IconX plugin. Then I had to sign both on my laptop. Then I uploaded the modified copies to my phone, and installed them. Now it just works!
Instructions:
Download both apks, and sign.jar. Then run "java -jar sign.jar file.apk" once per apk. You will end up with two files with the same names, but with a .s prefixed before apk. Get those on the phone, and install them. You will need "Unknown sources" enabled on your phone.
Using this program to sign them isn't ideal. There are probably better ways to do this.

Is this still needed? Trying to decide if my force.closes are related to Android_P or non-Samsung device.

Resigned Galaxy Gear cannot find the IconX 2018
Hi there.
Thanks for the thread.
I did what you suggested and I was able to install Galaxy Gear. I also installed the resigned iconX 2018 plugin but since it's not an app you can open, I don't really have an indication if it worked or not.
When I open Galaxy Gear, it's not able to find my earbuds even when I have them in my ears (it's not detecting them even though my BT is on).
How did you detect the IconX 2018???
Thanks.
Note: I also tried a resigned Samsung Wearable (the new renamed Gear app) but even resigned, I wasn't able to install it at all (usual error message).
Are you just resigning the app? didn't change any code in the app?
I bought gear iconx today,i have honor note 8 which i really liked,after 1 hour i have managed to work iconx 2018 plug in properly,in order to work this apk you need modified gear iconx apk posted here and you need to download samsung accessory service apk from play store and that's it,now you got fully operating gear apk.
Here is the samsung app
Would someone be kind enough to pull the sleep as android companion .wgt off of their S3? I am trying to get ahold of the package so I can play around with re-signing it and sideloading it onto my gear fit 2 pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did find the .wgt for the gear S2 but it is about 2 years old and I am sure it has been updated since then.
Hey!
I nee the Triggers app on my Gear, but cannot find it in the Galaxy Store because i use a Mate 10 Pro.
Can i get the wgt-File anywhere?
Or even better: Is there a way to unlock all "Samsung only" apps in Galaxy store?
May somebody help me. Thanks a lot.
Best,
Master7x
