Hey all,
I recently got s10+ after years with Google phones.
Not sure it's a new thing or not but I found a Samsung app called Secure Folder installed.
I quite like it and tried to install it in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 but it says incompatible in Google play store hence can't download it.
What is a good alternative for Secure Folder which is compatible for older devices ?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I just bought a Gear S2 and found out that Gear Manager and the other required software from the Google Play Store are not supported for the OPT.
I found a thread here providing the APKs in order to support the Gear S2 on the OPT, however it does not work for me as it failed when it requires me to download the Gear S2 Plugin.
Used a Samsung S4 to download the required softwares from the Playstore and extracted the APKs.
Hence I'm sharing them here for those who are in the same situation as me.
I have tested the APKs with my OPT and everything works fine.
Compatibility List as of 11 Oct 2015:
Oneplus 2
If you tested other phones that works let me know and I can update this list.
Required APKs:
Samsung Gear
Samsung Accessory Service
Gear S2 Plugin
Enjoy!
Yes finally can attach outside links!
Thank you!! This worked for me for my galaxy note 5!!

Yours is a Samsung. Should be able to download all the required software from the Playstore right?

I have an SM-N9200 on AT&T, and no matter what tried it wouldn't connect. No updates available or anything. Wish I knew what the issue was, but this fixed it.
The watch connected just fine with a note 4, it was very frustrating. Looks like from the reviews on the gear app in the Samsung store I'm not alone.

Great! Glad that it solved your problems.
Thanks for your effort. I tried these apps as well but still getting following error: 'The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.'
I am on a custom ROM and rooted Note 2.
Do I need to install an official firmware or is there a way around?
Thanks.

I'm totally a newbie in custom rom and rooted stuff but the error seems to point to a unsupported rom or rooted device. I have no rooted device to test if the s2 works with it.
Is anyone having issues connecting to the gear app store within gear manager? I'm getting a white blank screen? Do we need the latest updates Samsung released to the play store? If so can you port them with your Samsung device?

It was blank just like you said couple of hours ago for me too. It works for me now. Try it. I did not do any updates nor was there any updates to apply.
There is updates for both the gear plugin and the gear manager. You won't see the updates if your on a non supported device. That's why someone with a supported device should continue to extract the latest updates and post them in this thread.
This was already posted by me. Reporting this.
Duplicate of Samsung gear manager and Samsung accessory service for phones that can't install
Closed.
Alright so I live in the UK and have bought the international Qualcomm variant of the Note 4 (SM N910F).
I've managed to download the Oculus App however none of the included features (i.e. the cinema) will install.
As such my Gear VR is unable to fully complete its installation.
Is there a way that I can side load these Oculus apps onto my phone and get the Oculus App fully installed on my phone?
(I've even tried copy and pasting the system files of the Oculus app from an external microSD into the Oculus app stored locally on my phone, and still it won't fully install the features such as the cinema).
Thanks for all the help!
Hello,
As it reads in the title I have the Samsung Galaxy SM-G900F with LineageOS 14.1 on it. And I'm trying to pair it with my new Gear Fit 2. I wasn't able to start the Gear Manager App from the PlayStore because of my OS so I edited the build.prop file in my system folder. That helped, but afterwards the Gear Manager App wanted to download the "Gear Fit 2 Plugin" App from the PlayStore which was "not compatible with my device" for some reason. The same thing happened with the Samsung Accessory Manager.
So I downloaded the gear manager stub, as well as Samsung Accessory Manager and Gear Fit Plugin from some link I found on this forum. Now when I try to connect my Gear Fit 2, the Samsung Accessory Manager shuts down and it just trys to connect but it's getting nowhere. I'm so frustrated right now. I even started thinking about switching back to stock firmware on my S5. But I definitely don't want to do that.
Can someone here please help me by explaining what Apps I have to install in what order to get this going? I would be very thankful for the links to those Apps, too.
Thanks,
Pixelloni

I found this article:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/samsung-devices-running-cm13-12-1-pair-t3290076
It's for an older version if CM, but should hopefully work for you.
By looking at the results, seems to be an issue with all brands of rooted devices having issues with Gear Manager.

I tried to use an older Version of Samsung Accessory Manager. That did the trick for me. But thanks for the reply anyways!
Hello
I want to install some apps I see from apple store or other indenpendant stores. Because the galaxy watch store is very poor in terms of choice. So my question is, Is the galaxy store the only way to install apps ? I try to connect Gear s3 to the google Wear Os, but it refused.
Thanks for time

Apple store is for other platform (iOS, watchOS, iPadOS) while Galaxy Watch or Gear is using Tizen OS platform which very different. So there is no way to install apps directly from apple store.
PS: your question is like how to install iOS apps on the Android phone. Lol
What about an apk website for smartwatches?

Hi,
I have had my OP7 Pro for about a month now and I quite like it but there are some apps from my old Samsung S8 that I prefer, namely the Samsung Dialler app.
I downloaded the APK from a mirror but it wouldn't work. After researching I saw that it might have something to do with the Samsung APIs being a requirement?
If I rooted and installed this magisk module: github dot com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/xmlpak/blob/master/system/etc/permissions/com.samsung.android.api.version.xml would I be able to use the Samsung Dialler?
Thanks!
