My location doesn't show Galaxy labs apk but I was able to find in apkmirror. However it says this content isn't available on this phone anymore (??).

Just dl'd it and giving it a shot.

Yes, but doesn't notice anything as well before than after using it.

Probably better not to use it. Don't think it does much except put more wear and tear on the flash memory.
I use Battery Tracker a lot though.
Best way to speed up* these phones is a clean reload; takes a time or two to nail down what apps you want etc.
Uninstalls never helped any OS, lol.
*Turn off animations and package block the junk especially cloud backup crap if you don't need it. Take the time to optimize your unique set up; it is time consuming and only you can do it.

[Q] Samsung App Store?

I see everyone referring to it all the time, but I have no idea where it is.
It's no where to be found on my stock T-Mobile Tab.
Do I have to download it from somewhere? Couldn't find it anywhere.
Its just called Samsung Apps. Have you done a manual update since you got your Tab? Sometimes thats caused apps to go missing until a factory reset.

Nope. Haven't updated it at all, says there's no updates available. It was activated at the store before I bought it, maybe they updated it?
So if I factory reset it, then update it again, wouldn't I lose the app again?
How would I update it and keep "Samsung Apps"?
I don't think the USA based Tabs have access to the Samsung App Store.
I would like to know also if this is not true.

Erm, thats basically what Samsung Apps is. AFAIK, every Galaxy phone has it and ot provides apps made for the phones.

can someone post the app, let's see if it works.
Well it looks like the first app appeared for me... Blinx beat... I was hoping for asphalt... But who doesn't appreciate there little doesn't deserve the good... Patience is the key here
I believe this did get left out of the north american tabs, at least the t-mo. Mine did not come with it. I also did not get any stock e-reader apps I see others with. Nothing for books our magazines. I did get the media hub put it was promptly removed after root. I also work for tmo and our official documentation says nothing about these apps.

Generalistic and wrong statement.
EU tabs come with it
I purchased my device from Orange Austria. Also on my Tab some Apps were missing (as far as I remember Samsung Apps, Ebookreader, calculator)
It seems that the tabs sold through providers are limited.
I have flashed latest firmware and now have all apps. But in Samsung Apps nothing is shown. Is there anything I can change to make it work?

Ah.
I always hear people refer to how much better the Facebook app is in their app store, and other free apps that I never knew how to access.
I wish we could get the apk for the Samsung app store, or for these free apps.

after i update few in the samsung app, thats appear no more update, n i connect my tab to the Kies, its showing that tab is not compatible to it, so i cant download anything from it
Verizon tab
I have a Verizon Tab and I was wondering the same thing. Everyone is talking about getting the free need for speed game and I can't get it because I don't have the Samsung Apps. Very frustrating! You would think when you spend $600 for an oversized phone that it would at least come with a few more apps. Don't get me wrong I think the tab is pretty cool but when you get down to it this thing is really nothing more than a big Android phone with the phone part. I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of tab specific apps.
yes please someone post this apk because i would like it as well

Apps not showing in Samsung Apps

I have a Gear 2 running on a Galaxy K Zoom in Texas. However most of the apps mentioned here don't shop up for me in Samsung Apps through Gear Manager. Is the Samsung App Store region/carrier/device specific? Can't find Paypal, Gear Navigator, etc. Anyone know how I can get the apps to show up?

Here the same. Before ugrading to Tizen I had Eevernote, Glympse and MyMyRide on my Gear1. All gone now and not showing up in the store in Gear Manager. I think I didn't upgrade, but downgrade to Tizen :crying:
No problem

I have a good news for you , downgrade from tizen to Android is possible and very easy, it's toturial ( how to )
If after downgrade your touch screen isn't working, don't panic You must flash evrything again and evrything works perfect, i too update, to tizen and back to android.

any solution or idea ?!?
Think it might be device specific. I have a note 2 with gear 2 Neo and no Golf Navi, gear navigator, etc. Decided to reset and pair neo to my work phone (galaxy S4) and they showed up. Tried downloading application to S4 then backed up apk and loaded on note 2. Application installed on phone OK but failed to install in gear manager. Not sure if this applies to all scenarios but this was my experience.

I am a developer and I have published Gear apps
Developer can choose group of devices and can also select regions and countries
I do select always all devices and all countries.
If the developer decide to select some devices and only one country, the the app will be published to the selected devices and to that country only
Why? I don't know!!
If you can't see my apps, then the problem is in your side
check "My Gear Apps" topic
Actually can see your apps in gear manager Lux and Thank you for your work on them. Looks like some GPS based apps (at least in my case) are being excluded from the Note 2 running 4.4.2

The previous version of my app (Multi-Watch) was compatible with 89 devices.
The current version only 55....
I didn't change or add any permissions.
Its a complete mystery to me.

this is what the developer console of the app store shows to me now:
<see attached screenshot>
I tried asking them what is the reason for it, but got referred to a standard app publishing paragraph..... as usual.
In total I have asked them 13 questions now, never got a real straight forward answer on my questions.
I wish there was a way to call them and speak with them on the phone.

hi could you please post the model number i should use in the build prop please

It is a filter problem caused by the Samsung app store. Currently, they filter the devices manually like so: Gear 2 + Galaxy S5, Gear 2 + S4... and so on, which I think is kinda dumb. My apps on there are filtered for 55 combinations. I'm sure they are missing a lot!

Question

Is there a way to add all apps to the multiwindow without root since there is no way to root the At&t edge yet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using XDA Free mobile app
Put them in folders?
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
Not folders. Put whatever apps I want in the multiwindow feature. Stick only allows certain apps. I have an app that will put them all in but it needs root. As of now, there isn't a way to root the At&t edge.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using XDA Free mobile app
Oh I put them in folders, and I can get more. I separated the folders for what the apps do. I think it would be extremely long to put every app in the edge panel

You don't understand what he is asking.
He is asking about split screen. Where you have to programs running at the same time.
But yea the answer is no. If it's not on the Samsung list it won't work. Same thing happen with the note 3.
A tip tho if you press the recent app key. It will show you which apps can be multi window. There will be an icon that looks like an 8 on the right side of that app window.
Ok thanks for clarifying that for me.

Is there any chance we can get Smart Manager back?

The Smart Manager app is really helpful and original by Samsung. Why would the stupid Verizon remove it? It's damn stupid, foolish and selfish of Verizon. Fortunately I can always use the Greenify app,though.
I'm sure you could download the apk as long as its on another note 5 version.
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
I think the app is actually installed in our system. Looking in priv-app the is a SmartManager-Provider apk, but there is a good chance that there is a csc line that is not allowing the app to load.

Not that I have found yet. To edit the csc file we need root, I did find another thread that had the smart manager apk and tried to install it but I would not. It needs to be a system apk.

Unfortunately from what I have seen is Verizon and AT&T decided against it because they want their apps instead..... Like the data control Verizon wants you to use family base... Which works well granted but also is an added feature on the account

I found a semi solution, let me know if it works for you...
Download es file explorer, then download the task manager add on. - Has an option to quickly clear ram with a touch of a button.
Next option and closer to System manager...I recommend this one..
Download all in one gestures set either your app or back key with long press and select kill app.
Once set, go back to home screen, long press whatever button you setup, you should see a ram manager popup and hit boost.

Thanks for your reply. Actually ram is not a problem here. Note 5 has 4G ram after all. I'm using Greenify's unroot mode and everything has been working fine for me so far.

Thanks for the relevant information. By the way, I'm really curious about how Verizon is gonna deal with Andriod 6.0's strict authority management.
They have to accept it. Google runs most phones we sell. ? I personally can't wait

Lemme see how it performs if at all.

I've been using it since day one. Have disabled quite a few services including Bixby. Haven't noticed any ill effects and think my battery usage is pretty awesome. Here's a thread about Package Disabler Pro with what packages members are disabling.
Thanks for the heads up

Using it without issue to kill a few Samsung apps I've replaced with others.
I used it on my S7E, caused problems and issues overtime. Not using it at all on S8+ and having a spectacular experience.

Well lets be fair...the apk itself wont cause issues. What the end user does with it can cause issues absolutely.
But that's on the user not the apk.

Very true
Used to use it. Now I don't. Stoped because I didn't notice any benefits. Both ram usage and battery life are about the same with and without it. Also, there was a time when the developer pushed like a gazillion updates within 2 days. Not too confident he knows what he is doing. Oh, and this is the only app I've ever used that needs an extra app installed to make it work. Something is off.
Used to use it, now using Adhell. Much simpler. And working
Using it on my S8+, and did on several previous Sam phones. It just works, no problems ever.
I can't prove if it saves any battery, but the phone is just cleaner without all those unused apps.
Used to use it, made things worse.dont need it with S8+.
I have tried to find this but does anybody know how applications such as package disabler work?
I have it too, yet to install on s8+
