Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my KF HD 8.9 and installed the Play Store. All is well and most of the apps I want installed without an issue.
However there's one app that I swear by that isn't "supported on this device". Chrome.
I ended up sideloading an APK I grabbed from the web but that's neither ideal and it's not a current version.
My question is:
Is there a way to bypass the "not supported" message via an app like Market Enabler?
OR
Is there another (I'd imagine legal) way to obtain the current APK from an alternate website?
Not sure if this will help you but I'll share my method. What I do is just download whatever app I need to my SGS1 and back it up with Titanium Backup. Then, I mount it to my PC and pull the .apk out of the TitaniumBackup folder and side load it. I did this with Nova Launcher and HD Widgets and so far everything is working wonderfully.

Install the 1mobile market app; it keeps track of the last version and do the upgrade just like google play.

It will not help because it will redirect you into Google play
Apktop.com
Since chrome is free then this is legal

Nope, the 1mobile market app does the upgrade by itself.
It even upgrades sideloaded apps
btw... it will mark the kindle skype app as outdataded, do not, i repeat do not substitute the kindle skype with the market skype.
Hello! I'm new to XDA Developers, so pardon my noobiness.
Basically, I purchased a galaxy gear off ebay, but my samsung galaxy S3 is only running 4.1.3 as stupid Telstra have not rolled out the 4.3 update for the S3 GT-i9305T. I was able to connect my galaxy gear to it by installing gear manager, and most features work... except the apps. When I try install an app, this error comes up: "Installation Failed. Try again later.(0)" and I have no idea what to do.
Basically what I'm wondering if there is a fix for this, or if it is possibly to somehow install 4.3 if my carrier hasn't rolled it out yet.
Thanks!

I remember reading on this forum (either in this questions sub-forum or in the General sub-forum), others have talked about apps issues with different versions of gear manager. There is a thread in the General sub-forum that talks about different versions of gear manager. You guys might want to look through that thread and see which version of gear manager works best for your needs. I say that because I remember others were saying that the newest version of gear manager is not necessarily the best at keeping all the apps you installed.
good luck guys.

I think your situation may be a little different than OP's. From your sig your gear is rooted with null rom 26 (btw where did you find that, I thought the latest null rom is only 23?), so you would have a custom recovery on your gear already. Then all you need is to load the apks through bluetooth file transfer on to the gear, and intall it from the gear directly, you don't need gear manager at all for this.
As for why your s3 is not recognizing the gear, I am not sure. I had my note 2 on dn3 kitkat with latest gear manager (1.7 something I think) connected to my gear on null 23 rom and everything was working, including bluetooth file transfer, and I was able to install apks by bluetooth file transfer and then install from the gear itself.
Where are apk files saved?

I think the apk files are stored in the download folder or bluetooth/download folder. Sorry can't remember off the top of my head. I just upgraded my gear to Tizen yesterday, so I cannot check.

On my note 2 with dn3 v4 beta 2, the downloaded apks from my playstore are in root/factory, different devices may have it in different name.
If you are talking about apks downloaded from internet or transferred from PC, then it most likely will be in root/sdcard/download folder.

thanks, typo. i corrected that. and i know i can install normal apks but of the few apps in the samsung store that are made for the gear, there are a couple of them i would like to use. also have been considering taking the plunge to tizen, but i need to know my phone can connect to the gear with with tizen and the newest gear manager.

I am not sure why your s3 does not connect to the gear, sorry I cannot help as I do not have a s3. one would think it is capable as I have seen gear with null rom connected to s2 before. Perhaps someone else who has a s3 and gear can chime in and lend a hand here?
One thing though, if you have apk's that you would like on the gear, I would recommend staying with android for now, as Tizen is still too new, and of the few apps thats available, they are all from the official Samsung Store, at the moment we cannot install third party apps without going through Samsung Store on Tizen.
Dear XDA forum.

I'm having the same problems. It may be related to the most recent update of the app store. I'm using Gear 2/Galaxy S4. I get this error on some apps, but not all. Shouldn't be so hard to install an app I paid for (and for which I cannot get a refund in the Galaxy apps store).
Edit
Working not sure why, just trial error keep uninstalling reinstalling samsung apps and gear manager, finally works. Weird
hello. new owner of galaxy gear here, with N7105 rooted and DN3 latest ROM.
i got this crazy try again (0). already search whole xda, found couple of posts, but all arent working for me.
already uninstall and re-install the gear manager, samsung apps, galaxy apps, still no luck.
for example this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54247463&postcount=534
the problem is, my galaxy app doesnt give option to disable, i only see close and uninstall. i wonder why???
Just in case anyone needs a resolution, in my case, switching the app to a user app allowed me to update it.

Hey HKblade,

Same Problem here
Hi People, i have the same problem with my Galaxy Note 3 Exynos ,stock Android 4.4.2 (rooted) , after the update to Tizen on Gear 1 and the Gear Manager can't install any apps , and i've tried everything , clear cache, reinstall Gear Manager, install another version, Factory Reset the Galaxy Gear with no luck :crying: , any help ?
So I might very well be a little dense here, but I cannot for the life of me seem to find out where to go to download app for my (ex-)galaxy Gear running Tizen? There's no place in the Gear manager where I'm able to see any.
I'm running a CM based rom, and have edited the build.prop to mimic a S5.
What am I missing?
//M
You need galaxy (Samsung) app store and access via gear manager
OK. How do I get that?
I have downloaded the latest Galaxy App store from Samsung, and gear manager is in fact showing in it, so it does "know" both is installed. Yet I find no way to actually search for the apps in either of them.
//M
When you first open "gear manager" on the phone, scroll down a lil. You'll see "Samsung gear apps". Open that for "galaxy gear apps".
This is what you'll see which is different from "galaxy apps"
Hmm makes sende i cant find it then, i dont have that option
//M
Anybody able to guide me on how to enable that? I've changed the build.prop to reflect the S5, but only changed it one place as that was said to be sufficient.

You can only download from the Samsung store. If you don't have that, the build prop change is not going to do anything

If someone has downloaded the apks (like I've done with android based version), then you can install them. But if you don't have the store app, then you can't get them from the official source

Thanks for these. I have a Chinese gear clone running 4.2.2. I've installed runtastic but have no icon on watch (don't know if thats normal for the app) and starting runtastic on the phone does nothing either. This is the app I'm most excited about getting going, so any advice would be great.

did you reboot the watch ? which runtastic version did you try
Yes rebooted, running runtastic pro 5.2 on a stock note 3 running 4.4.2. Bluetooth was on and I tried the 'connect smartwatch' setting but it sent me to the play store to get gear manager. Could a gear owner tell me, does the app on the phone trigger the watch app automatically or do you have an app icon on the watch to start the pairing?
Can you please explain how you are able to spoof your device to download the apps from Samsung app store. I have an LG G2, and cannot for the life of me figure this out. Thanks for your help.

be very caredful spoofing your device, take a nandroid before you make any changes, and try screenshotting your settings and also back up your current build prop,
device spoofing changes your build prop so when google play store determines what phone uve got to give you the correct apps,start by changing your buld version and rom name, then try screen density, but caution when u reboot to apply the settings your screen may not display,
do some research on device spoofing/faking first
market enabler just fakes your phone operator and country to get other specific apps not available to your own carrier/country

im guessing, if they failed to install they wont be saved, you maybe need to change more of your build.prop to save them, seems like you have only ticked apk to give you the apk, but not tricked the system to instal it
