compatibility problem - General Questions and Answers

Dear,
I have a problem installing an application on my new Huawei Mate 10 lite. I installed the open, but on opening it says the device modal is not compatible. Is there a way I can have the application running on my device? the application is a dictionary and I am in a dire need of it, for I use it for my studies. I would appreciate any help that would get the app running. Thank you

You're trying to install it from Google play or from an APK file ?

I installed it as an APK file. It was working fine on my old Samsung Galaxy S5, as I had it downloaded from Galaxy App Store. The latter is presumably the only place where this application exists for free. I downloaded it from Galaxy App Store, installed it on galaxy s5 and shared the APK file by means of another sharing app. It installs, but it does not run. It says "device modal not compatible".

Yes , that's a kind of " protection " for Samsung , I had the same problem with gear fit manager , an app from Samsung to make a smartwatch work . That was the only way to make it work but Samsung didn't allow to run this app on low-end Samsung devices and others devices.
Unfortunately , I can't do anything.

I believe that there should be a way to install it, since it is not an application that Samsung built. The only thing is that it is offered for free by Samsung. I can't find it any elsewhere, at least the same exact version that I am looking for, but on the Samsung app store. So, I tried to share it, but it never worked. I saw somewhere on this website how to install it, but requires the phone to be rooted.

Yes , it may be the case , because I think you have to fake your device name or something like that.
But I haven't the sufficient knowledge .
Maybe a longer search will be helpful , I hope you'll find the way to do this

[Q] download incompatible app from market

The is an app in the market that I would like to get but it says it is incompatible with the transformer but I am 99 44/100% sure it will work.
Is there a way to fool the market place? I searched and found answers for other devices but none for the transformer.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi
If you have another android device, like phone, download it to phone, make backup, transfer apk to TF and install. Works for me.
I have downloaded apps directly to my tf and after uninstalling them tried to get them from the market only to be listed as incompatible..think it had something to do with having a custom rom, some of them include older versions of market, some have the option to install the ics market app, while others have options to go back to the hc market app. AS poster before said, you can download on another compatible device and make a backup and just swap the apk over, but if you don't have a backup device many of the apps on the market can be found in the wild as the raw apk file, even some pay apps can be found in the wild, though i don't pirate apps because that is the sure way to kill or own market (who is going to design apps for android if they can be pirated so easily?).
Also, try to get the 'tablet market' app, that seems to have the tablet optimized versions of some apps that are hard to find via market.

Wait I dont get it. After downloading the app from Google Play, where do I find the apk for that app? And do I need a root for this?
God I hate sounding like a noob...

O didn't understand you had the apk from the market the first time. Thought you said you first downloaded it from another site then the google market.
Otherwise you need root for you transformer indeed. they are in /data/app folder
[ps] = I have downloaded apps directly to my tf and after uninstalling them tried to get them from the market only to be listed as incompatible <----this is why i thought you downloaded somewere else !!

[Q] How to fix Chinese Samsung Galaxy

Hello,
I'm the owner of a Samsung GT-I8250 phone. This phone has been specially made for the chinese market. I found the phone on the streets I managed to get it on english language so I could use it.
Things like google play are not installed and i'm not able to use it (I can install it but it's not working). I am able to install apps using wondershare mobilego, however many apps are not working or behaving strange. My guess is that there are some chinese blockers or something on this phone.
Is it possible to re-install a fresh android installation on this phone? Guess I need to root the phone for this, I already found to do this with a program called ZhuoDashi, but I'm not sure if there's a android version available for this phone that I can use.
Anyone have some advice about this?
Greets, Sander

[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.

Sleep as Android Gear S2

Guys, I'm trying desperately to get Sleep as Android on my Gear S2. The devs posted the .apk and the .wgt on their website, but I'm having a hell of a time installing them. With all setting set to allow from unknown sources turned on, the only work-around to getting the apk on the phone was to uninstall Gear Manager, install the apk then reinstall Gear Manager. Now my issue is getting the wgt on the watch. I've tried wrapping it in an apk, and sideloading it using sdb. The sdb method returns unsigned certificate errors. Is there anyone in the community that has this working or has any suggestions on how to get it up and working? I'll add both files to this post. **Please note that the file named Gear_S2- SleepAsAndroid_Consumer.apk should be changed to extension .wgt I was unable to upload it with the wgt extension.**

It will not work. Gear S2 uses Companion model. APK and WGT files are installed separetly. You can't install ...Consumer.apk on S2.
The problem is the the wgt is not signed , i tried to work on it on tizen sdk but i`m kind of noob
Have you seen this?

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Gear S2 support .tpk files since it is a Tizen OS? Files master will not open installer or anything for not supported file.
EDIT: ok, I read about it and it is indeed .wgt

I think the problem is that your watch unique id is not included in the list of testing devices, so you cannot install it. During app development, devs have to manually enter the id for each device which they want to run the app on.
I was able to install the .cfg-file using these instructions: https://youtu.be/Xy2B-nlnprg followed by https://youtu.be/mFjFI6Pv69E
When I open the app, it only shows: "Starting tracking" with no options whatsoever so I am not sure what to do now.
Any ideas?

I also got the app to install on the Gear S2 as well as the apps for the android device, but no luck making it do anything.
I got it to work. When installing the latest beta on the phone enabling smartwatch and smartwatch (heartsymbol) it worked. It did not monitor the heartrate during the full night, only a few hours.
I also believe the power on the phone should be >20% but it could be coincidentally failing below 20%

I believe the .apk does not work. I think it should install it on the s2 from the phone but does not work because it is not modified. (As you can do on the .wgt). (I am no expert so these are all assumptions)
On S health I also see no graph, only in the sleep as andoid-app on my phone.

Just have a respond from urbandroid "Please note that there is no need to install the APK along this is only a container of the wgt file in case this would make it easier to install." So you just have to install Sleep as Android on your phone and the .wgt on the gear s2.
And for the other question I had the answer was "Regarding, at the moment S health doe snot support sleep phases but hopefully we will be adding this very soon."

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
