Fix Galaxy Wearables not connecting after Rooting - Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Guides, News, & Discussion

After rooting my Galaxy Z flip I tried to connect my Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier to it but it seemed to get stuck at "Setting up your watch". The phone showed that it was not connected via bluetooth with the watch so I started searching. I found this old post from the Galaxy S7 forum and I am sharing how I managed to fix it
How to fix the problem:
Uninstall these apps from your phone: Galaxy Wearable, Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accesory Service.
Install the Gear S Plugin from here
Install the Samsung Accessory Service from here
(Optional)Now go to Magisk Manager and install the "Magisk Hide Props Config"
(Optional)Install this terminal
(Optional)Open it and write: "su" "props" "1" "f" "7" "18" "y" based on your android version "3" for R "2" for Q "y" and reboot
Install Galaxy Wearable from Google Play
Now open it and your watch should connect just fine
All credits go to the person from this post I am just sharing my version of it. Hope this helps some people.

Hola tengo un S10 y tampoco me va el galaxi watch. Me podrias explicar esto que has puesto porque soy muy novato y no lo entiendo bien.
Translation: Hello, I have an S10 and the galaxy watch does not work either. Could you explain this to me because I am a very newbie and I do not understand it well.

Basically there are two versions of Samsung gear plugin. You need to find the one that has a N in the end. This allows the gear to communicate with the watch. Basically download and install all that I have listed and it should work.

Hi! Sorry to revive an old thread, but this was the actual only solution that actually howrked for me, on my A53 no less. However, the notifications on my Gear S3 behaved quite different... where I used to have the option to preview messages one by one, now I have only a single "x messages from x chats" notification, with only one option to check on phone instead of ungrouping, reading more, etc.
I feel like it could be a Gear S plugin thing... maybe the "N" version doesn't allow those more complete notifications? Anyone got their rooted phone working with them?
