Hi everybody,
here are my impressions and questions ( please answer me ) after reading forum threads and playing with my fit.
Its one day im using sgf and impressions are good, except for all the limitations and "walls" met with a non samsung dev.
First of all, my FIT firmware is R350XXU0BND8 and actually im using Fit Manager 1.49
Fit connects well with phone and everything is working except SHealth (is there a way to get rid of this?)
but i will play more with it ... not now cause "fitness" use is not my first need
Even the clock+weather layout doesn't work. I have found somewhere the "SweatherProvider" apk, but it wont install on my FIND5, why? is there a way to fix it?
I have edited build.props (like stated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949) and now all the "gear settings, gear phone and gear calendar" apps are working. They are running a little slow, but acceptable.
Is there any way to put the icon in an easier place? instead of scroll--> settings-->apps --> gearPhone app ?
First question: every Manager version works only with relative firmware, right? So if i want to use last mgr version (1.67) i have to put on FIT last firmware (R350XXU0BNE5) right? and this should work even with 1.70 ( found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789503)
Second question: Wich are all the apk's that i should install except manager? I mean do i need Fitness_with_gear, shealth_service, Shealth apk's?
Final and "stupid" question. With non samsung devices i have to always update firmware and manager versions manually, right?
sorry... missing phone info
My phone OppoFind 5 with OmniRom 4.4.2
Hello,
Any idea on how to develope own clock for Gear Fit (so it can be selected in gear fit manager) ?
There some apks on market provided this functionality, but I can't find any tutorials/docs on how to create one by self.
Any idea ? Thank you.
There is only one app. Just check my app list here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734334
We can't use classic development because Samsung didn't release libs for development. Actually, they deleted libs from the newest Samsung SDK.

Does it mean that there is no way to develop own clocks atm ? How does all listed apps were made ?
I didn't write that there is no solution. We can have custom clock, you can find them here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730633
The problem is that Samsung must publish source code (a.k.a SDK) for Gear Fit. Custom clocks from URL which I post above are from person who works for Samsung (this I only assume). More precisely, Samsung deleted SDK for Gear from the newest Samsung Mobile SDK.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Gear fit 2 and i'm trying to install it on my OnePlus 2. From the information i've gathered it doesn't seem work with the latest OxygenOs + Android 6.0.1. Do any of you have any recommendations/ideas on what I should do to get it to work? Should i install another ROM, which do you recommend in that case?
Any tips are most welcome.
Thank you!
Did u installed all these apps from Play store?
Gear Fit2 Plugin (not "Gear Fit Plugin")
Samsung Gear
Samsung Accessory Service
All three are needed, and it should work.

Hi, Thank you for your response. I installed the Gear Fit2 Plugin separately, updated the Samsung Accessory Service and downloaded the apk for Samsung Gear (since it's not available on Play store for Oneplus 2). Now it seems to work. Previously when it was syncing it hang, but for some reason it works now. Thank you

Hi,
I downloaded the Samsung Gear apk from apkpure.com (i can't post URLS since my account is new)
I love the device so far. I'm still waiting for the spotify app to sync playlists to the gear.

Oops! I wasn't notified of your reply/question. I ended up downloading those individual apks through one of the sites where you paste in the Google Play link and it pulls the apk, then you sideload. I don't recall which site though.
Damn, sorry be kinda vague. I found that downloading directly from the Google Play store, I could not get the Gear Fit2 to pair and sync. However, when I downloaded the individual apk's, and installed via sideload, it worked. Bizarre stuff, I tell ya.
I've since moved on to a Garmin Vivoactive HR, and while it's a great device, it doesn't match the Gear Fit2 in how perfectly it worked once setup.
Hi! I installed the apks and downloaded the gear app on my OPT but now it doesn't detect the gearfit2 fitness band. Could you please help.
I've installed the apk and almost everything works but I can't download any apps or watchfaces.
When I try to download an app/watchface it keeps installing for several minutes and then stops withoit giving an error.
Can someone please help me?
It doesnt work for me.
I have a custom Rom on a Samsung Device.
I keep getting
"Notice
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."

Well if I may try to assist, your problem is that since that app recognizes your device as a Samsung device (probably through the build.prop) it won't allow you to use gear until you go back to the stock firmware.
In theory you are not a non-Samsung device you are a modified Samsung device as the app clearly states.
Hope I helped.

I'd like to re-open this thread. I've followed everything specified in previous posts, however I'm still getting the message "The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Please check your operating system and try again."
Has anybody encountered this message and been able to get through it?
You must change all entrys in /system/build.prop like "Samsung" into e.g. "HTC".
In this case you can start the Samsung Gear app.
I had the same Problem, i can start the app but no Gear Fit 2 was found

Did it work on android 6.0.1 with oxygen os??
Can you send the version number of the apps please?
Thanks
Hello! My name is Marie, and I'm new to these forums.
While trying some ported Note 7 apks I found here, I accidentaly deleted my bkp for the Samsung stock Contact app.
Now I don't want to use third-party apps found on the Play Store, and I'd like mine back.
I searched everywhere, but I only found a S7 stock app that made my phone crash.
So I'd like somebody owning a Samsung under Lollipop (since it's the only one I'm sure my phone will have no problem running) to send me the apk for the CONTACT/PHONE stock app.
Using a ROOTed Samsung Galaxy A300FU (A3 2015) under Marshmallow.
This is really important to me!
Thank you!
Hey guys,
In general, pairing up Samsung Smartwatches with Samsung Smartphones running Stock Official Roms is easy and pretty much straight forward. You only need to install Samsung Gear App from playstore and follow the procedure given by the app, but if you're running (any) custom roms on your device the installation might be a little tricky.
so I'd like to share how I got my Samsung Gear S3 working with my Galaxy A5 (2015) running Resurrection Remix (6.0.1) rom, hopefully this guide could be any use for anyone having trouble setting up theirs.
1. you need to prepare/download 3 specific APKs : Samsung Gear app, Samsung Accessory Service and Gear S Plugin. if you can't download them from Playstore then look for them in unofficial -but trusted- sites like apkmirror.com
2. You need to edit some lines on build.prop, you can find this file on /system/build.prop and open them with your favourite root file explorer's text editor (i'm using MiXplorer)
find these lines
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and change them into
ro.product.brand=htc
ro.product.manufacturer=htc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can use other known brands but in my case i used htc.. after you're done editing, save it then reboot your phone
3. Install Samsung Gear app, Samsung Accessory Service and Gear S Plugin on your phone.
4. Run Samsung Gear app on your phone and follow instructions on your Phone's/Watch's screen
5. Done! if you do this right you can enjoy it less than 20 minutes
sources: buried Gear S2 threads in xda (forgot the exact thread, will post the link if i found it)
Nice thread, thanks.
