Does anyone here maybe know if there are plans for the "old" Gear Fit to support non Samsung devices? Since I upgraded my phone (HTC One M7) to Lollipop I can't use the smatchwatch anymore. I know there are solutions to connect it to non Samsung devices but most of all I use App Connect applications. They are almost not working and every version needs to be patched for my devices - that's not a proper solution for me.
So I'm slowly thinking of selling / throwing away my handy watch :crying:
I recently sent a mail to assistance....It was unexpected but they answered to me
Unfortunately they go on with their politics and FIT will remain where it is. It must be connected to a samsung device to be fully functional.
Read the forum, every single thread, and you will find a lot of solutions, also patched apps for APP manager, I did it and now I like my FIT.

Thank you for your response! Too bad Samsung is not going to support it. Patching all the apks I need every time an update occures is just too time-consuming for me - but thank you for your answer!

Hallo everyone!
First of all - I got myself a smartphone just yesterday for the first time ever, so yes.. I'm even less than a Noob.. you can call me noob^2..
Second: i searched the forum but I did not find a similar topic. Either there is no similar thread yet, or I don't know how to use the Forum search engine properly.. If so, please excuse!
I have a SGS2 i9100 (not G) and android 4.0.3. Not rooted (don't know yet how to so..)
I would like to replace my ipod with the SGS2, but the soundquality is very poor. I would like do connect the phone to an usb DAC (fiio E7 for example), but i read that it is not possible to bypass the internal crap yamaha-DSP. So is there any possibility, hack, or whatever, to send the pure, unprocessed mp3 data to the DAC via USB OTG??
Thank you a LOT!
Not currently possible with the SGS2 & highly unlikely to ever be. Devs who have been asked to have a look at it have all gone 'Nup' because of Samsung's proprietary/closed source drivers & so on. To give you an idea of what devs are up against/why nobody will tackle this, read this post.
Only way it will ever happen is if you code it yourself, or a dev with a lot of time on their hands (there aren't really any of these; the development they do now is done in their spare time & on top of the jobs they have) who actually wants to use this themselves.
Don't ditch your iPod.

Well, that's a pitty!
I read somewhere that android 4.1. (Jelly Bean) supports that USB audio out capability. Is that true, and does that mean, that if I could install jelly bean on the s2, I could use usb audio?
Another, probably stupid, question. Is it possible to install the 'not touchwized' - original - version of android on the s2? Would that make usb audio work, or is it a matter of hardware and drivers??
Thak you for your reply!
Hardware & drivers. Won't work no matter what. Unless a dev makes it work as I said in my previous post.
So right now, no one is trying to make the s2 work..? Would donate if someone succeeds..!
What about the Galaxy nexus phone and about the Galaxy s3? Do these phones support usb audio, even though they are from samsung?
1) No, offering money won't make any difference. There have been threads made in General where people have pledged differing amounts of money; in one thread I offered $20, all up maybe 6-7 people pledged money totaling around $150 to get it working. No devs took up the offer. Seriously, this is something that is very difficult & time consuming to get working, it's not simple like some people seem to think. It just isn't going to happen. Money isn't the issue, the issue is time and/or a desire on the part of a dev to use this feature themselves. No dev so far has had either of those nor a desire to get this working.
The fact it doesn't work on stock roms should tell you something.
2) You're asking in the wrong place, ask in the forums for those phones.

Hi,
I've finally received my Omate.
Before doing whatever:
1) how can I safely detect whether the received model is the right one (should be the 1/8/2100)
I ordered it from the pre-order omate site, not from kickstarter.
2) how can I backup my actual ROM (and other things if needed) before trying to do something?
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello,
sorry but I'm impatient. I have the truesmart now, I've been waiting for months to get it (as we all did!) and now I'm not sure what to do, so I can not use it
Sorry to disappoint you but all you can really do is hoping that the watch will last some time. No respectable developer is supporting anymore the watch. Turn it on and use it as it is, you are on your own, not even Omate will support you.
Some people reported satisfactory experiences with their watches after reading through this forum though. Maybe its because they updated their watches using the patches as recommended. Mine has great battery life and I like the swapplink app. It works for me.
I use mine all the time, works good, especially after installing the ensec rom. I don't have much to complain about anymore.

Thanks.
I will get mine (1GB/8GB Extreme, kickstarter developer version; used) soon. Not sure what rom version it will have.
Can you please send me a link to the latest ensec rom (and how to flash it)? I apologize for being a bit lazy and not reading though all threads.
I saw that most developers quit because they were not properly referenced when some other developer took/stole their work and instead of apologizing even insulted them. Sorry to see that happen and I wonder why xda is not looking into this and responding appropriately (to prevent this from happening again; does not do anyone good). We all want to be acknowledged/rewarded for what we are doing.
There's like 3 roms to choose from in the truesmart development section, one of which is ensec. Everything is in that thread.
Thanks! Seems like 1 developer still is contributing and working on improvements-thanks on behalf of this community to kuronosan.

Hallo guys,
So first of all, I know "why didn't you bought the hardware from the manufacturer you like" blabla. I love the S6E but what I also love is the HTC software. So my question, is IT eventually possible to port completly a manufacturer Rom?
I found some Tutorials and also trying them out right now. But have also some concerns about a hardbrick or eventually a complete phone kill. How possible might this scenario be? If we assume I port everything properly?
Thanks in advance :good:

Hi seitzik
Thanks for asking.
There are some software portions you won't be able to handle as they intensively interact with the hardware you have, which harware itself isn't portable
Modem & Booloader you probably wont be able to mess with in anyway.
Recovery & Kernel can be customized indeed but not as far as from an alien Manufacturer.
EDIT: The above pieces of software are the ones that could lead to a brick so be careful.
What leaves you with System ( / <- root and forward). Within system there are a LOT (I mean it ... a lot) of binary libraries that interact directly with devices sensors and their absence would, at least, disable its functions.
The other way around would be true ... HTC apps would require their own libraries that would not find the associated hardware necessary to work properly.
IMHO, seems I huge and painful endeavour.
EDIT: if one were interested in the looks of HTC, there are some launchers over there that could bring it closer to you.
But, as it seems, you already dressed XDA T-Shrit "DIY" and, as so, please keep us updated.
Have fun.

Thank you very much for your reply!
Hi,
First of all, moderators please feel free to move this thread to the correct section if I'm wrong.
This is the story: we have received 80 Samsung S8 in our company to replace he old S5 ones. The problem that we are facing is that we can't deliver the new devices to the users without all the software upgrades. So, we have to go one by one trough the update process thee times!! with it's corespondent reboots and checks on every device.
So the question is as the thread title shows, is there a way to bulk update several devices at the same time? I mean, not by doing it by hand but in an automated way.
I've been digging on google but I can't find nothing on this matter. Maybe I'm just blind or that there it isn't a way to do it.
Hope some one can help. Any idea would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ouch, no one?
Any ideas?
Hi,
until today I used a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini on which are preinstalled some apps that I like: now I have a new smartphone and a tablet (both non-Samsung) on which I would like to install the same Apps of the S4 but for many of them, APPStore does not allows me to install them, not even using Apptoide, or if they are installed then they do not work.
I looked for the equivalent on AppStore but I do not find anything that satisfies me completely (perhaps because of habit).
Is there any way to use Samsung's Apps on non-Samsung systems (without having to root), perhaps by installing a library or some other special software?
Thank you
Ermanno
P.S. I did not find the right forum to put my question, please Mr, moderator move it to the right one.

I've never really got into this area but, I believe that one or more of the following threads/links should, at least, be helpful to give you a good start for what you are looking to do. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them too.
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-port-oem-specific-apps-to-other-devices/

http://en.miui.com/thread-12801-1-1.html
Side Note: What your looking to do is what's called App Porting. Not all apps from one device to another will work. If you look at the S4, I would "guesstimate" that 25% of those apps are Firmware dependent, 25% are dependent on other apps, 25% are dependent on one or more of a devices Architecture, Android Version, DPI, SDK, etc... and the last 25% are not as dependent and may/should work on any device. There's more to it but, this is just a brief summary.
I would recommend trying to gather more information from the above links and ask for some member guidance within either one of the above threads/links or another thread that's similar to the question at hand.
Good Luck!
