I've been trying to get Ultimate Music Control to work on a non-Samsung custom ROM. I have the app on the watch, but I lost my backup when reflashing my phone(oops), and it's only available on the Galaxy store so I can't download it.
Can someone get the .apk with Titanium backup, or with anything really?
If it works, I'll write a tutorial.
Thanks a lot!
UPDATE
So I installed it, but it shows no sign of connection between the phone and the watch. It still seems to rely on the Gear Manager bullcrap.

And you tried changing through the different methods on the phone app side of the player? I had to switch between them for different music players. For the majority of the music apps I use it for, most of them won't show any track information on the watch. I am also using a custom ROM. It is still a Touchwiz based ROM. They stripped as much Touchwiz out of it that they could to get it as close to AOSP as possible. I initially had issues when accessing the Galaxy app store saying something like " Error This device does not support Samsung GALAXY Apps." I re-flashed a couple times and finally got it working by not allowing it to update itself as much as I could get away with. I have a feeling with a little mucking around you can get it to at least connect/control music.
I did try the different methods. I just use stock CyanogenMod, which has none of the Touchwiz/Galaxy apps software.
EDIT: What ROM are you using?
I'm using Eclipse S5 TW for my S5 Verizon since it is the closest I can get to AOSP with locked bootloader.

Hi recently I've installed CM11 and updated my Galaxy gear to Tizen due to reading about several users being able to use the device on the LG G3 without needing touchwiz.
I've tried installing the Gear Manager apk and it installs fine, but never connects just hangs on connecting to gear. I have tried taking apart the apk and installing the modules separately and have gotten as far as getting a Unsupported Device error message.
My question is has anyone had any success getting the Galaxy Gear with Tizen OS to properly work with CM? Thank you. I'm open to any suggestions.
Update
An update, I have been able to get the gear to connect to the Phone and access its settings through Gear Manager. I've encountered issues with it getting alerts, like messages and missed calls on it. So that means alerts do not work.
Besides the alerts the way I got it connected was using different versions of Gear Manager and picking out specific apks out of the packages. If anyone in the future would like to try and get it working here is a Link to what Guide I followed to make it work.

I will keep this thread updated if I get any progress when I have more time to tinker with the watch. Good luck!
I have been playing around with my note in the past while, and I found a rom that I like and is fairly stable. Its daydream 4.4.4... I am wondering about installing samsungs apps store. Can I get it and where do I find it? I signed in with my Samsung account and I cannot seem to find the download to install it. I tried another route and the apps store just opens and gives me the build number and does nothing else.
Any help would be appreciated!
thanks

There is no stock ROM available for the note above Jellybean. Therefore no Samsung apps on KitKat. If it's just regular apps you need, use Google Play store included in any gapps package. If you really need Samsung apps use a stock based ROM. (Custom Canadian, Blackstar, Padawan, Only one, etc)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
good reason. ha ha! thanks again. I guess I will have to google some alternatives for the apps I have been using before.
Got a no mark S4 clone on 4.2, perfectly happy with it, got CWM and a new rom on it, its fine.
I have exposed and boot manager and once a day it has its icon telling me 'google play services' has auto installed, and every other day an app called 'recents' with a sort of C:\ terminal icon. Now, neither of these I want, I've deleted them so, SO many times, selected 'dont auto update' and also 'dont notify' from within google play, set my firewall to block anything google when on 4g etc...
Is there ANY way to stop it installing stuff I dont need?

The only way is to build a new aosp rom for your device. My advise is remember that you get what you pay for and clones never really have any of the hardware they claim they do. I think you will find you are better off ditching the device and buying a new one.

That doesnt actually help me at all.
The phone is fine, no issue with it. Has a new rom on it, specs were as described, its a problem with google, and the play store auto installing, it did this on my old S2 and my galaxy tab stock, so its not the hardware.
There must be a way to stop the play store doing this apart from uninstalling the play store as I am currently doing.

Then that will lead me to think it is one of the apps you have installed. Some shady apps like CCleaner will install other apps. I would wipe the device completely and then install your apps one by one until you find the issue.

Well I am about to smash my phone to bits lol so I'm hoping for a bit of help. Had my le max 2 for over a year and its been ok, it automatically updated not long ago and since then nothing GOOGLE works, playstore wont load, always get the Play services stopped working popping up every 3 mins or so. I have deleted them and downloaded the apk's a million times and it does the same thing over and over. Also some other apps just do not work now.
On top of that I have the other 2 home screens that is all adverts and in another language I'm guessing Chinese, My calendar is also messed up with all extra Chinese writing in it and other bits, I also get advert bars at the bottom when I open certain things.
I now can not even install facebook or anything else as the google playstore does not work I have tried other app stores you can download that have all the apps on and they don't really work either and a lot say they need google play services to work so I get that popping up.
I have no idea about rooting phones, installing customs roms or anything although I have checked videos and I'm still no further what to install or do.
I just want google play to work again so I can have things as I did before
any ideas at all please? if I cant sort it I think I'm just going to go back to samsung
just installed all the google stuff using google installer V2 all seemed to go ok but still says google services stopped , managed to install facebook another way but it says the facebook app is not compatable with my device so the phone is stopping facebook from working :/
what rom you have ?
some conflict happened after the update, you need to reset factory.

Are you referring to the stock rom 028S? I don't think it is fully compatible with Google Services. After many re-installations, I gave up on it and installed Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 Nougat and never looked back. It frees up tons of memory too.
Hello, I want to install other apps other than the ones from Samsung Store, I wonder if it's possible to port/convert apk app to tpk and install it on the watch. I have Samsung Galaxy Watch. I can already sign and install tpk apps using sdb to the watch, but I want to install apps like reddit/discord/tiktok.
If i remember correctly, there was an app for the Z-series of Samsung phones called AndroZen which did exactly that. I dunno if it can run on a Gear S or Galaxy Watch though.
If you test it, can you attach a photo or video of it in action. I'm really curious to see proper phone apps running on the Galaxy Watch.
Too bad i just installed Android on my Gear S, i would have tested installing .tpk files on it, because i thought it only was able to install .wgt files.

I tried running Androzen apps, it just keeps on loading forever, and because of watch's resolution the app layout is a bit messed up, I didn't make any photos, maybe I will try to install it again and I will make some photos then.

Oh, that's unfortunate.
I remembered about one more thing, but it was an online service kinda thing, Polaris App Generator.
Here is a demo video of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXnzBJzMIQ4&ab_channel=κΉμν
I really doubt it still works. Tizen was pretty fun back in the day, tbh. Plus it was realeased around 2013, so Android 4.2.x. I don't think there is much support left, considering it's not even 4.4.x which is still somewhat supported, but mostly on the way out.
