Ok so I am using Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds and have recently bought a Smart TV and want to share my data i.e (Video, Pictures, Music etc)
I am trying to install the Samsung Link software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.pcw) and its failing to do so. I managed to download the .apk from an alternate source and tried installing it.. That failed too.. Is there no way to get this app working on my phone with Cyanogenmod?
Alternatively anyone who has a smart tv with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth is there any other way to connect to the tv? What are the features I will lose if I use these alternate methods of connecting? like WIFI Direct, Bluetooth or Cloud storage!
you could not install samsung stock apps on CM roms as they require framework. that's almost impossible.
-------------------------------------
please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

What does that mean? TV out? Do you mean things like screen mirroring, file sharing etc?
Thanks for your quick responses both of you..

Overall must say CyanogenMod is awesome but i simply do not understand why the HDMI connect is not supported and why it never will be. Everyone has SmartTV and everyone eventually will use that feature sooner or later. It's so frustrating. I even installed CyangenMod on my brothers phone recently and he is cursing me because certain apps do not show up in Googles app store. He is a doctor and he needs some of those apps.
For example i have latest nightly installed on my HTC One M7 and i even cannot connect via Wireless Display on my Samsung Smart TV UN55F8000.
I love cyanogen and its update policy is the best but Day by day things i cannot do which become more and more common cannot be done because CyanogenMod won't recognize apps or simply does not work with certain devices. Sooner or later it will become big issue in the future if the list which can't be done will become bigger and the things which can be done will be just like checking the facebook status.
It's just sad.

Tha app is Smart Unlock and extends dafault smart lock functionality by adding wifi trusted devices, bluetooth or wifi, so usar do not have to wirte the lock pattern or pin each time while they are connected at home´s wifi or car´s bluetooth.
Hope you like it and it works properly on galaxy S5, thanks for testing.

Thanks for testing it. Are you using touchwiz or stock android 5? We need to test under touchwiz mainly. I have been reported that is not working properly on Note 4 and I need to know if this affect also other touchwiz devices. Thanks for your help.

Cool, I wonder why is not working on Note 4 , I have removed availability on google play for Note 4, We will try to fix this soon.
Actually this funtion is built in already. You can find it under Settings->Security->Scroll down all the way->Smart Lock
In native smart lock there is no support for trusted WiFi devices. In smart Unlock yes.
Tested on Android 4.4.2, touchwiz, haven't worked on my G900F (International S5 version) using wifi smart unlock. Not sure about bluetooth.
Hello,
We have created a forum thread for this app.

Hello, Thanks for your reply.
When you say "didn´t work", what do you mean exactly? Once you are connected to your wifi and you add the wifi to Trusted devices, you should see in the notification that the devices is "unlocked".
Do you see this notification? Yesterday we solved the issues with sony xperia z2 and z3 and now we would like to focus on samsung series, Thanks for your help.

Correct. And yes I saw "device unlocked" but then, when I pressed the power key to lock my device, then pressed it again to wake the device, I still had to input my pattern password.

Ok, so I can guess now what part of the code is being ignored by S5.
Do you have 4.4.2 stock rom?
And, maybe is a noob question for S5 users, but I´m not samsung owner and I dont know specific samsung software, so any help will be appreciate.
Is there any unlocking tool specific for S5 / note4 devices? For example on Z2 series there is a "Smart Connect" app that has included something similar to smart unlock but native on sony devices, also in Z2 there is a native option for unlocking near some BT devices, that was creating conflicts between our app in sony.
Hope we can solve the issues on S5 and Note 4 because are the only devices with problems using Smart Unlock.

I'm on 5.0 like I said, not 4.4.2. And no, Samsung does not have any feature like that.

Ok sorry, you are right, as you said before you are on android 5.0
I guess we will need a S5 to find a working solution. As I can read in this thread there is 1 user on 4.4.2 and you with android 5.0 and is not working for both of you.
I will try to get an S5 tomorrow, I will keep you informed with a test apk soon. Thanks for your testing time.

No prob.... just PM me or post here (mention me) and I'd be glad to test the new version.
Not working for me neither in my SM-G900F using 5.0, the notification appears, but when I lock the screen, I still have to input my password (I'm using fingerprint scanner for unlocking the screen).

Hello!, Can you please try to disable fingerprint scanner and use normal lock pattern? Thanks very much. Its very important for me to know if the mail problem is the fingerprint scanner or something bigger related with samsung roms.
Thanks in advanced

Hello, can you confirm if you are using fingerprint scanner?. If yes, could you try using normal pattern or pin? Thank you.
hi all:
I bought a moto 360 2015 watch in China, where google apps are blocked. So Lenovo offers a localized version which replaces Google play android wear app with their own localized version, however, there are very few apps in that market(http://www.lenovomm.com/).
I tried to download the original android wear and found that I can download apps from google play, but still there is one problem: the chinese version watch replay google now with a Chinese voice command app called Chumenwenwen. I found that if I use the original android wear to pair with the watch, my voice could not be recognized because Chumenwenwen did not make a connection with the android wear app.
So the problem here is that if I use the localized android wear app, then I can not use apps from google play, but if I use the original app, I can not use the voice command app. Is there a workaround?
Unlock the bootloader and Root it, then using ADB install Google Now and any other thing necessary for the watch to communicate with the phone
hi, i wanna ask if you can connect your watch and use it with the original android wear app?

@liuwenmao, how did you connect to the Android Wear app on your phone?
I got the Chinese version as well. Since the Chinese version rom recognize Google apps and refuse to sync. I think the only way to use Google Apps is to flash the international rom. But atm I don't think I can.

Yea, same here...
I am trying to see if I can return the watch or not, really a pita to have android wear without google...
Maybe some chinese person can check the chinese forums if there is a way to flash the original ROM? Here there doesn't seem to be much going on with regards to development on this product :-/
I gave my watch back today for a full refund. Will buy one in Switzerland next month.
I got a sollution

Hi all, so I'm running a rooted nexus 5 with CM13 rom. I saw some videos on kustom live wallpaper app and how it completely changes phone interface and I was wondering if there was sth similar to it for rooted phones, and hopefully legally free? I want to be able to create buttons/widgets with it's own custom animation/functionalities options. I searched a bit here but no luck. Thx all in advance.

Why don't you just use KWLP?
I was just wondering, since I'm already rooted, if there was a free alternative to it. If not, I guess I'll buy it, purchasing is a little difficult here.
Kwlp doesn't seem to be working on my rooted phone I have arrows ROM installed does anyone know if that will be the problem or do I have to hide kwlp in magisk or anything
Hi, at the beginning I want to point out that this is my first thread, so if I did something wrong I apologize. I also want to apologize for my English.
Recently, on many old Samsung phones, the AccuWeather weather widget stopped working for me. First, I noticed the problem on the Galaxy A5 2015 with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. When I wanted to enter the city into the weather, it did not find my town, and after entering larger ones it was, but after selecting them suddenly disappeared, I tried to use the map, it showed me several large European cities there, but after selecting any it wrote that the service is now unavailable. I decided it was a temporary failure, so I ignored it. Some time later I managed to fix my Galaxy Note3 with Android 5.0 Lollipop, so there I wanted to introduce the weather, but the effect was the same. A month later I reset my Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the effect when trying to enter the weather city the same, 2 days later I got a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 JellyBean, the effect exactly the same. I remembered that on my second S4, but with Android 4.3 JellyBean, I have the weather introduced, so I charged it to check it, the weather was there, but it showed the state of March 26, 2023, after trying to refresh itself refreshed the moment, but finally there was the same effect, when trying to add another city, the same effect as on the phones mentioned earlier. Maybe someone knows what the problem is? If AccuWeather doesn't work, maybe there's another widget that looks like the original one? Please help.
Accuweather requires Android 6.0 or newer. So that's why it doesn't work on Android 5.0 anymore.
Ehhhh, can I use a custom app to use this feature? I want it to look like the original. By the way, I will add that on my Xperia Z2 with 5.0.2 works AccuWeather.

If that works on Z2 then maybe it's older version. I just look out playstore that newer versions requires Android 6.0+
And it is possible to somehow make it work, for example, a custom widget, but to look like the original or something like that?

Watched the same behavior...
AFAIK no custom widget will work since the app itself is the one to blame.
Accuweather v5.8.6 was the latest version to support Android 4.1+.
Search the web and install it. It works. The widgets are slightly different though.
