i made a video explaining how to use the Fit on the Nexus 5. this also may work with other phones im unsure.
mediafire.com/folder/05n572epblf4v/Gear_Fit_Nexus
youtu.be/Sk0vsx6k-cU
download those files
install GR.gearmanagerstub.apk
then install gear fit update 1.25.apk
open the app and pair the fit. it should connect. you can use it like this but the update ads a few features like screen rotation.
now you need to get a samsung phone that is compatible and update the fit to 1.49
now you uninstall GR.gearmanagerstub.apk and gear fit update 1.25.apk
now install gearfitmanager1.49update.apk and gearfitinstaller.apk and pair your device. everything should be working perfectly.
i am also claiming the first nexus 5 working with the gear fit
Edit: I just found a "lite" version of s-health that DOES work. Here's the link

Thank you for posting this guide. I will try it out.
Do you also have an idea how to use S Health on the Nexus?

I haven't figured out how it get that working yet. It force closes right away. Nor have I figured out weather. But if you have a problem with notifications just go to settings > security > notification settings and enable it for the gear fit manager. Also still can't figure out how to change the time to 12h instead of 24h.

Scratch that last part. I figured it out right after I posted that. All I did was go to the clock settings on my phone and toggled 24h mode on and off.
Edit: I updated the OP with how to use an "lite" version of shealth.

That's awesome man. Crazy world, I discovered a very similar process with my HTC One M8 and M7. I just sideloaded the apps downloaded from Samsung's App Store onto the M8 and M7. Connected the Gear Fit and it worked. Only thing I couldn't get working was quick reply and alarm notifications. Just goes to show that it's totally possible though. Great work! I hope Samsung decides to open this up to other devices officially.

Yep quick reply and alarm don't work for me either. But I'm thinking we need the Samsung clock and SMS app and then it should work.
WooHoo!

Hey dude! First thread I've found that got things working more or less! Good job and congrats on your mad ninja hacker skilz!
Question 1: Where's the video link? I'd love to see it.
Next... I just went through loading 1.25 and pairing as you described. Amazing! It worked! WooHoo!! Thanks!
During the loading process my Gear Fit decided it wanted to update it's firmware over Bluetooth.
After the update, the Gear Fit says "Software Version R350XXU0ANCF" .
Question 2: Do I still need to track down a Samsung phone and do more upgrading for the Fit's firmware or do you think it's already updated it's self as much as it needs and I can install 1.49 now?
I did try to install the 1.49 apk but at that point things fell apart and no more pairing. I went back to 1.25 and all was well. I hear 1.29 also works.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0vsx6k-cU&feature=youtu.be thats the video its in the OP.
my fit firmware is R350XXU0BND8 which i am pretty sure is a newer version because my fit works with the app version 1.49. if there is no option to rotate the screen in the settings on the fit then you are not on the newest version.
also im pretty sure you heard that 1.29 works from me in another post. that was a typo, as far as i know there is no 1.29.
Thank you very much. I tried it out and it works!
I can also install and open the lite version of S Health. But how can i sync it now? I can't login with a Samsung account. Wh i click on the login button, nothing happens....
Thanks again.
Wohooo, you are great. I could follow your steps.
I have only 2 problems:
a) I have no supported device to upgrade the Fit to 1.49 - will have to ask around in office if somebody has a supported Galaxy. Anyway, it would be great if we could manage to get the upgrading function working so we are independent of any special device requirements... not sure, what's missing here, because as somebody earlier mentioned: when pairing it with 1.25 the first time, it downloads a huge firmware update and pushes it to the Fit who afterwards reboots... but either it didn't work or it is not 1.49
b) Have the same problem with the S-Health lite - it can be started, but it is not able to logon to a Samsung account or sync with the Fit
Anyway, this is a huge progress so far. I bought my Fit today. It was released yesterday and only one single store had it on stock - when I found your thread, I immediately rushed to the store
Thank you so much for all the details you figured out so far.

a) try going to bestbuy or another store that has them on display. They won't bother you about it. The guys at my store were trying to help! And the firmware update to 1.25 isn't an update. Its part of the fitmanager apk. There's also a firmware update in the 1.49 apk that is different. Originally I was trying to move the firmware from the new one to the old one but it wasn't working so I decided to just go to bestbuy and do it with their phones.
b) it doesn't work for me either. Neither does weather. But I'm still working on it.
And I bought my fit when it came out. I got it at the att store. At that point I didn't even know of it would work with the nexus but I decided it would be worth a shot and if I couldn't do it or someone else couldn't either then I'd just return it.
Also to the other question about notifications. Did you try to enable notification sharing in settings?
Hehe, I am really thankful that you tried and posted. You were the reason I dared to buy it. I'm from Germany, so no Best Buy. But not a problem, I work in a huge software company and there are several of these devices for internal tests available, so I may get a grip on one of them tomorrow to do the update. I am so interested to check the sleep tracker.
Notifications works for me like charm. Caller notification worked immediately, for the rest you can enable the general notifications and choose all applications you'd like to receive notifications from. I tried it with WhatsApp, it worked immediately, even showing the text including Chinese characters which are tricky. I am really happy.
As I can workaround the FW upgrade issue myself, my biggest dream would be to get the S-Health app working as this is the way to check your data and statistics. I am happy that the big display also lets you read most of this data, so it is not a total show stopper for now. We must keep in mind that it might happen that we never get the Samsung tools working. They are using TouchWiz stuff and Samsung accounts. So Samsung also would possibly not being happy that people not using their devices (that might also cross-finance the cloud servers) could use their infrastructure and trying to hinder this.

Samsung should be happy we're buying their smartwatches. i dont know if theres a way to get touchwiz on the nexus, but if you could it would probably be possible to get everything working.
is anyones working with alarms set on your phone? i cant get that to work either.
At least I can confirm: having connected it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Gear Fit Manager 1.49, it immediately downloaded a new FW for the Fit and now GFM 1.49 can connect to the Gear Fit and sleep tracking is also available now. Great!
would you guys say this is usable enough to buy?
Depends. For me it is. If you are not interested in alarms to wake you up and can help yourself by borrowing a compatible Samsung phone to make the firmware update and receive new functionality like sleep tracking, then you only will face one important issue:
you cannot sync the measured data to your phone, as this is done by S-Health which currently does not work. The Fit with its big display can still show you all relevant data and also historical data, so that is not a 100% no-go. But for the people who like to browse through fitness stats of past months on an app or in a browser, this is still a show stopper.

Cannot pair Gear 2 neo with my phone
Hi, I just JB my gear 2 neo. The jailbreak went out OK, the problem is that when I try to pair it with the phone, cause it wont pair, my gear 2 neo is just stuck in the "Selct device on gear manager" window and my phone is stuck at the "connecting to gear" window. Now, this phone is a chinese one running kit kat 4.4.2 and it's temporary (I'm getting an LG G3 soon). I was wondering if that issue is caused by my phone model (solone SL-SA5) or if I did something wrong.

Thank you for replying. Well, actually, it's ticked. Turns out it is paired with my phone but can't get synchronized with the gear manager. Let me explain myself: My gear shows as linked in my bluetooth seetings on my phone. The audio thingy is ticked, but when I start the gear manager and I try to synchronize it, my phone supposedly starts syncing but the gear beeps twice and it won't sync, it wouldn't do anything. Anyway, I'm buying an LG G3 soon and I'm giving away this one to my father, but still I'd like to be able to synch it with that phone in case I decide to give my dad my gear 2 in the future.

I installed the latest gear manager available in this forum, but I can't seem to find the multimedia control. IDK if it has to do with my phone model (LG G3) Or just the gear manager version I installed. Does anyone have info bout this issue?
Having exactly the same issue.
Did you ever manage to get Gear Manager to connect?

Modded apps. Are installed via your phone. And pushed through gear manager as an apk
Has there been any discussion on doing a cosmetic overhaul in the rom, such as replacing the icons for pedometer, messages, etc? The basic icons on the fit look okay, but for something larger as this watch, it would be nice to see something colorful and more stylish. Especially if people are using the watch styler app to try and get a premium feeling look watch face. Thanks for everything you have done!
Gear 2 Neo with LG G2
Hi, I got my new Gear 2 Neo over the black friday weekend ... I'm using it with my LG G2 and it works good for the most part.. I'm using the Gear Manager APK version 2.1.14062401
installed on my phone.
Following works fine:
All notifications (Email, SMS, Whatsapp, GMAIL etc)
All the stock apps like pedometer, exercise, sleep, heart rate etc..
Dialer (dialing out and answering calls)
Clock
what doesn't work:
Alarm
Weather updates
Answering to texts (I understand this wouldn't work anyway)
Sync with S-health (or any health app)
My question is 1) Does upgrading to Tizen 3.0 mod fix any of the issues that isn't working on my phone ?
2) I don't care about alarm or weather updates, but the Gear 2 Neo doesn't provide too much info on steps/exercise or Sleep.. Does the tizen mod address this issue? Can we sync with S-health or any other health app from non-samsung phones..??
I'm asking this purely because if the new mod doesnt address my issues, I wouldn't bother upgrading it (as I'm worried I might brick it)... Please advise.. Thanks

This thread is for the Gear 2 Neo, which does not have a camera. I believe the dev has another thread for the Gear 2 with the camera. You should probably use/install that one and hopefully it fixes your problem.

Hey XDA,
I've been testing to get the right combination but have found the last working versions of the AOSP E-mail Client w/ Exchange Support.
I haven't made any modifications to it, this is stock from APKMirror, just wanted everyone to have it as it's a great e-mail client for those wanting to separate work from personal on their devices.
It's too bad Big G phased this out, as I am still a sucker for the AOSP look and feel.
Enjoy!
Works great... Thanks! Using it on my Sprint S4 with a GPE rom.
Does the push feature work correctly? I used the one that Gary has put out and push didn't work. I had to set up my email to auto check every 5 minutes. If I tried to use push, I just never got notifications. He said it didn't work right and was not interested in fixing it.
Thanks though, will check this out!
Also can I assume this can not be installed, you have to manually put the APK's in their folders and set permissions?
---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------
OK these are not working for me. I just get a force closed on the email app.
Are there any special instructions? Using this on Android L 5.1
Use nine exchange app.. Best exchange email client out there imo
the old aosp email is kinda outdated..no material design..i use cloudmagic
Disabling the new gmail exchange got it going for me.
working great for me

Working great on a Samsung LTE Core Prime. The built-in version just admitted a short signature. Thank you!
No problems installing, and works just fine, except it FC in the background around once per day, at which point it won't push new email until manually relaunched. Anyone find a workaround for this?
I suspect that in Android 6.0+, the Email and/or Exchange Services apps need to be exempted from Doze ("battery optimization") or manually granted System Permissions, but haven't experimented yet.
Btw, Detailed directions: http://www.johnwillis.com/2015/10/nexus-5x-restore-pre-android-60-mail.html
Although I did not experience any of the Package Installer weirdness that John describes.

I am having the same issue. It started after the December security update
Works perfect on CM12.1 on my Galaxy S4 Mini.
Not sure why CM decided to stop releasing with AOSP (actually it's quite obvious $$boxer$$). So thanks for wrapping this up. I can now keep my work email/calendar separate from Gmail again.
Good Job

This is great, thanks a lot .. I am going google free AOSP 7.1 on my nexus 5, this is the only email client where sync works with these exchange services otherwise all apps need Google Play Services which I don't want on my phone.
works great for me , however the font is very tiny small , is there a more recent version for this , please help ? as I really want to keep this app ?
Million thanks for this. Working perfect on my Lenovo A5000 with Ressurection Remix 5.7.4 (based on CM13).
Anyone know why I don't get notifications? I get emails but nothing pops up in my notification bar
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Anyone has any idea about the stock Email app from CM13 custom roms? I tried it and it starts alright, but when I add my hotmail account it doesn't sync at all; all I get is just one email from Outlook that states to use their app for email. Maybe they disabled features in newer Exchange versions...
Hey guys,
Anyone else's facebook not working? Instagram doesn't either. I'm running Marshmallow, latest Chroma on my Nexus 6.
When i open them they attempt to load, then just exit out. I wiped and re-flashed and same deal. Any idea what's going on??
Facebook app broke with the last 3 updates. Now doesn't work on my N6 and N7. Still works on wife's N5. Its the app. Not a phone problem. Wait for another update to fix it.
That's strange, I have Facebook app 57.0.0.11.136, and i works without any problems on my MRA58R based rom.
So does Instagram 7.11.1
4th fb update this morning g that does not work on any of my 3 devices. Even after an uninstall data clear and re install.

Guys, FB is a poorly written app that causes lots of problems, its best to uninstall it and FB from within your browser. This has been so as long as i can remember, just my 2 cents.

The nov26th is last one that works for me. Google the apk and download that version.
Hi All,
Picked up a google glass and everything works great minus the GPS. When I ask glass to navigate me it just sits on my current location and says "searching for gps". If I turn my head it spins the map and shows my neighborhood but if I move the map doesn't. I heard this was a bug with the latest firmware or software but haven't seen any fixes. Any ideas?

I know not a lot of people have these but anyone have any input on this? I really wanted to get the GPS working but haven't had any luck.

I believe the latest MyGlass app update (3.5.8) broke location. Mine also doesn't work. I've heard that downgrading to the previous release (3.5.0) fixes the issue but has a bug which breaks notifications on Android Wear which would be problematic for me. APKs for previous versions of the MyGlass app can be downloaded from APKMirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/myglass/

That's disappointing. I hate to choose between notifications and gps. I wish they would just fix the issue already. Thanks sent for the apk mirror though.

Yeah it is annoying. Although, it turns out you can have either WearOS or Glass notifications working, just not both at the same time (like you can with 3.5.8). Also, some apps notify you on glass without notification syncing anyway (SMS, Gmail, Hangouts, Google Now).
All-in-all I decided I'd rather have working location on my Glass and notifications on either Wear or Glass, than notifications on both simultaneously and broken location on Glass. I have notifications turned off Glass as I wear my Huawei Watch 24/7 and my Glass only on occasion. Plus WearOS offers better actions to respond or dismiss notifications in most cases. If I am cycling or doing something where checking a notification on Glass is vastly preferable to checking them on my watch then I will enable Glass notification syncing (and temporarily loose WearOS notifications) and then revert when I am finished with that activity.
It's less than ideal but it seems to be the best we can do if Google won't make any new updates to MyGlass to fix the GPS issue they introduced in the latest update (and it seems like they won't at this point).
At some point I am going to try modifying the 3.5.0 MyGlass APK to give it a new version string which is higher than the latest update so that it doesn't show up in the Play Store updates screen constantly.
A bigger pain point for me is that Play Music seems to have stopped working on Glass. Now you get a "Too many devices" error even if you have free device slots.
Hi, newbie here have same problem my glass won't get my ubication it just sits there trying to find it and when using bluetooth it won't even find directions, don't know how to downgrade and its risks could someone help?
Switching to the older version of the Android app for My Glass (v3.5.0) fixed the "searching for GPS" issue for me as well.
