Hello guys! As first i wanna say thanks a lot for everything you guys do *(This is meant for Developers, Helpers, Admins....,and everybody else that contributes!)* XDA is the best website of its kind - THANKS TO YOU!
Okay so, recently i decided to treat myself with a Phone watch - Samsung Galaxy Gear S from T-MOBILE. i always liked technology and new things that come out and they are one of a kind for a period of time. Phone i have the watch paired with is mine LG G3 from VERIZON, rooted running on Jasmine ROM V3.0 - 4.4.2.
To connect the phone to the watch (Gear Manager APP) i used the tutorial from this forum (Duhhhh.... Where else?! ) if anybody needs it click HERE
Now, when i connected my GEAR S to my G3, the watch did factory reset, which deleted all the apps that were on it which i installed using my old Samsung Galaxy S3 (I do not use it at all, its a ,,backup'' phone etc...)
The question is : Is there any way i could install some apps on the GEAR S without resetting it to factory defaults, and pairing with S3?
I read somewhere you can push em somehow, but first how do i get the apps itself? Im missing a lot of apps and if i wont be able to install anything i dont see a need to use the device till i get some apps on it like OPERA etc... Some useful stuff.
I hate the games that manafacturers play these days. All this stuff to make your life more difficult. Selling a watch which has its own sim card, own internet connection etc... I dont know why they just wont put an APP STORE on the watch.
Now if there is a way to install Samsung APP MARKET on my LG G3, and my phone will be able to push apps into GEAR S please post an tutorial or at least instruction, i will be more than happy to read it, test it and by the way i would make a nice long tutorial for the users of this great forum.
Ps. I tried installing the Samsung Market yesterday (i found an APK available for download) but the APK didnt install. It failed. What i did is edited my build.prop for the phone to identify as GT-i9500 and it bricked my phone 3 - it would boot but my launchers wouldn't load and just kept saying that the application has crashed, over and over and over again. I had a backup which i replaced using TWRP file manager, and fixed my phone..
Well, i hope somebody will be able to help!
Ps2. Just a little offtopic - Do you guys think that Samsung Gear S would of been better with Android as OS? I belive so!
Thank you very much for your time!:good:
Im post instructions HOW to install samsung apps market in THIS thread... read all thread and pages from my post to the end of thread...

Hello all, I'm new here in XDA. A friend of mine recently got a fighting mini N9300 and we've got some troubles with it. When the phone receives a call it automatically restarts itself. When it does, it doesn't recognise the SD card (and of course, any of the apps in it, including the Launcher I installed) so I have to manually deactivate and reactivate it in the settings menu.
I was wondering if there might be a solution for this, maybe a hard reset or a rom change. I've already seen the root guide here in XDA so I'm am going to give it a shot one of these days, so we can get rid of unnecesary apps and maybe assign more memory to the phone (if possible).
Any advice on how to make the phone run smooth and with no problems, it will be thanked. My friend just wants a phone that can make it through the day with a charge of battery, and will only install Whatsapp, Twitter and similar apps, not very demanding.
Greetings from Argentina and sorry if i had a spelling mistake.

noob here, I did my first root today, and have only been an android user for 2 weeks after defecting from apple since the first iphone. I was a jailbreak veteran of idevices, but I got bored with the stale bread, so I spent my taxmas on a Samsung galaxy s4. Specifically wanting the i9500 version so it would be unlocked to use on net10. I followed the steps from website, and video on Odin. And it looked like it worked perfectly. It wasn't until I tried to my photo gallery app to look at some pictures, and it crashed and wouldn't load. I had the same issue with a business calendar issue app that wouldn't open. I tried clearing system cache on gallery app but no luck. I'm afraid I'm in over my own head now, and might want to restore and start from scratch. The first thing I did after rooting was a full Titanium backup. only things that I installed after root was xposed installer and an app within the installer called swipeback.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this, without having to break away from root? Or if I must,how do I know which stock file I need. I know it's i9500ubueMk1 but there's many different regions.. I bought from a best buy in Charlotte . If there isn't a simple fix to fix why my apps aren't working,then the root does more harm than good, and I wanna go back to normal.
Someone please walk me through this!!
thanks
This is my first thread so, here it goes... I got the new LG F60 and i just ADORE IT... But, there are a couple of issues... First of all, it says the phone needs to have 4gb memory and i get only 1.3 in my settings>apps and the same in settings>memory.
When i got in settings>memory it said i had 1.3 free and among other stuff last on the list in MISC it said that my system data(yeah in misc) took up 2.3gb! That's enormous! So i tried googling the issue but i came up with nothing, i tried the forum on android central and no solution what so ever, so this is kinda my last hope.
Oh yeah, i did a factory reset and it didn't help at all, same size remained...
Also, as noted in my manual, i was supposed to have these apps but i don't: quick memo app, default gallery app, calculator app, video player app, radio app... Only gapps and the very basic ones that come with the phone... I have no idea how to fix it if it's possible or what the problem is... Here are some screenshots that might help a bit(note the last image is after the factory reset, and it says that the whole partition is 1.3 gb when i connect it to my pc and all together in settings>memory it says it has 4 gb):
I have one and w_8gb i love this cell.

I bought this phone today and having the same issue . I want to return it back to the seller but not possible because i have broken the seal of the package. This really sucks, no room for install applications.
I had the same problem. I bought additional SD card class 10 with 16gb storage, downloaded bunch of apps (for gallery, even the photo app - the stock one isn't that practical) and thats it. F60 is running the stock 4.4.4 kit kat so that is why we get so many Google related applications and no custom ones. Hope this helps.

but the phone is great no problem my mom loves it, but it's ssoooo strange not having lg apps and still system use way to much memory.
Hello,
I have tried the steps described in post #212 in the how to pair with non Samsung device topic, however the app can now detect that build.props have been tempered and won't connect to it. After I used the trick to click the watch icon I was able to active the watch, however connecting to my Nexus 5 proves to be not so easy task
If anyone has connected the phone can you post a short guide on how to connect it(which version of the Host Manager, Gear Manager and the Stub are you using will be enough).

I'd also like information about this. I have a Nexus 5 and just got a Gear S, and all of the tutorials for making them compatible, here and elsewhere, are out of date and broken by Marshmallow. In any case they don't work for me. Is it possible now? Could a new tutorial be put together?
I am seriously thinking about reverting back to 5.1.1 as waiting for Samsung to update their apps for Android 6.0 would take some time as even their S6 Edge frontman phone has not received Marshmallow, yet ;(
android wear with Gear S
until then ..maybe android wear for Gear S? any news on that part of dev ?

I've used the BlissPop Rom with the solution in this post:

No need to change your build.prop if you preactive your watch.
However the thing that annoyed me most was that it doesn't matter if I pick up the call on my phone or watch, the call always gets transferred to the watch. So you have to manually transfer the call to the phone each time you get one....
Not to mention that I got contacts synced somehow, but the messages and any other app's notification, did not get send to my watch, even when the app is selected in Gear Manager notification settings....
So I ended up buying used S5 and tbh after removing some of the bloat I enjoy the S5 more that I did my Nexus 5.
I haven't used my tablet for quite some time as I've had access to other, newer devices. However, now that the world is in lockdown I could really use it. The first thing I (tried) to do was install You Tube Vanced w/ microG, which went off without a hitch but Vanced absolutely will not load. It just spins, and spins until I stop it. I updated and tried to launch youtube standard as well and it took about 3-4 minutes to load as did every app I tried, except Titanium backup for some reason, so obviously there's a problem somewhere. The last time I fired it everything launched and connected immediately, and that was at the gyms less than optimum public wifi.
I'm guessing the main issue is that no current apps work with Android 4.2.2 so I'm most likely screwed huh? Any diagnostic apps I could run?
Well this might be important. I completely forgot that I paid to have the tablet rooted when I first got it, hence Titanium backup. According to Verify Root I have root access but no busybox if that's important.
Somebody posted about the same tablet and issues last year and the solution was installing a new ROM, I believe marshmallow, which I have no idea how to do and the instructions may as well be in Greek. I hate to even ask but is there a installation guide for the non-savvy?

Hell I don't even know what I'm upgrading from, maybe kitkat?
Now I really need your help guys.
Thanks
