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.

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.**

I have installed filesmaster and yes tried to transfer the wgt file to watch, was successful although filesmaster will not allow you to install anything, just open files.

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."

Is it possible to make a apk to install the wgt file on my watch. I have tried it with Tizen IDE but it won't work by me
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
so, i get to the point where the gear manager app goes to install the gear s plugin and then goes to that part of the play store and it says that its not compatible. So i went and downloaded the apk and manually install it and the install fails. What do you guys think im doing wrong?
No idea, for me it works on the way you describe. But I am using a Moto X Play.
Hello,
I have a Gear s2 smartwatch and i was using it with my original TW (TouchWiz) Rom.
But You know TW is very heavy and battery eater rom like a monster.
So I was trying another lightweight roms like Resurrection Remix, Lineage OS etc.
But the Gear Manager app says met that “your phone's operating system has been changed in an unauthorized way…”
So i search and find this for fixing to work gear manager on other OS which is not TW.
First of all, I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards
Lets go:
After flashing a new rom to our device, gear manager says like that "your phone's operating system has been changed ..."
For Fixing This:
1- Install that 5 apps newest versions to your phone(normal way or Titanium backup)
Samsung Gear, Gear S Plugin, Samsung Accesory Service, SASytemProviders, Samsung Billing
2- Open your file Explorer which has root Access and find build.prob file in root\system directory. Backup it on your sdcard. Be careful while editing this file
3- Then open build.prob file and find all “samsung” words to “htc”
4- IMPORTANT NOTE: Dont change This section ro.telephony.ril_class:SamsungExynosRIL (just leave it original)
5- Save it and restart your Phone.
Thats all
Now open Gear manager app and connect to your watch.
Worked OS: Resurrection Remix 5.8.5, Lineage OS 14.1
I don't suppose you have the apks for these apps, or links? I'm currently having issues on my note 4 with Resurrection Remix 5.8.5. I installed some modded apks, but still having issues.
Thanks!
Doesnt work. app not compatible ... GalaxyS5 (S520-f)

Use this way can run samsung gear but can not search gear 2 does anuone have solution
I'm on AospExtended ROM and try this but nothing happened and Gear manager keep saying modified OS..
Hello again, i have a note 3 exynos version and Gear s2. Before i got the modified OS issue, then i edited the build.prob file and my problem solved.
Please read the instructions carrefully then edit the build.prob file. Most probably it will work.
And the last thing No need to say that "Your phone must be ROOTED"
BEST REGARDS
Super great tip!!
FANTASTIC!!
Was about to ditch my Gear S3...
:good:
you guys could download the app i listed in dev section to make gear work on any device regardless of os and ram limitations
In case anybody has the same problem, this thread solved all of my issues. I have a Nexus 5 with lineage OS, and I could not get google play store to install the app. It didn't show up in play store on my phone, and online it said the app wasn't available for my device.
Fortunately [B @j to the 4n[/B] has made resigned versions of all three necessary apps (gear plugin, samsung health, samsung accessories) - and the Samsung Gear S3 is working flawlessly again.
