[Q] APK file instalation.

Hi.
Does someone can explain to me how to install apps from outside Smsung App Store on Gear 2 Neo? I mean the APK files downloaded from the internet. Is it possible to install the same apps as the phone or there are any restrictions? On the internet I found the only options from the Android ADB and Fastboot.
Thank you.

The Android app files will not work on this Tizen device. The only applications you can install are the ones from the Gear Store or that you create yourself (like the watch faces).

Ok. I understand. Thanks.

[Q] Where to download apps?

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

But as I said I have the store it's just not showing up in gear manager. Does it need to be installed as a system app?

GEAR MANAGER INFO AND REFERENCE

its updated again today, and again downloaded and installed another 3 items,
i never had a problem with my gear manager, so the question im asking is, has this fixed bluetooth disconnect for non samsung devices, and are the signed apps, working more consistently

Some of the data in that 159mb is only download as a package to install the software. And then deleted. So don't worry about the size. The problem gear manager has. Well that samsung has. Is they don't update the software so to speak. They release a new one. So to overwrite our already installed they need to rename the files while installing . And sometimes it conflicts cos of the filenames . It's best to just uninstall all. Then install fresh. Pain in the are. But clean installs always more smooth

Yes. Choose a version that worked for you. Then before configuring it. Disable it's Internet connection with a firewall. I recommend x posed framework with xprivacy

Last week I got the Gear 2 Neo, and was using it with my Note 8, which wasn't fully supported. Spec wise it seemed like it should work, but I had to change the build.prop to make it work. I purchased a watchface that I really liked.
Today I got my Note 4, and when I went to go find the same watchface in the store, it's no longer there.
Is there a way to transfer a backup from one device to another device?

No change your build.prop of your note 4 to match your note 8

So I actually need to change my build.prop to the same model S5? Gear Manager doesn't work with the Note 8, so I had to change it to that to get it to download and setup. I did everything I wanted while the Note 8 was an S5, but changed it after. Almost everything worked then, except the app store.

Yeah I think so. Change it to the same build prop as the device you bought the app. Then once you got it. Change it back

Sorry guys... I have a little doubt... Yesterday I update my rom in my Galaxy Note 4 sm-910c and today my gear 2 have high drain of battery, what I can do? Can some one help me? Maybe Bluetooth problem? Thank you for the advice!
Note 4, SM-910C Model.

Does this now work non-Samsung phones on lollipop? I'm just getting a crash on start-up. Not sure if it's something I'm doing or it doesn't work with ART.

As I read, the gear manager isnt compatible with ART yet. Im waiting too so I can finally use my gear neo again.

We need to wait until gear mánager work with art

New 5.0.1 update did it change something?

I can't speak for the Gear S, but I have a Gear 1 and it works well with my S5 running on Lollipop.
So Gear Manager is actually LP compatible.
And if it works on an old smartwatch like the Gear 1, I assume it would work (or otherwise very soon) for a completely new smartwatch too.

Gear Manager used to be a full package installer.
Since a few months, the initial package is way smaller.
When the installation starts, it downloads other apps and installs them.
Which packages exactly, I don't know.
So you need to have the full package of apps which are installed by Gear Manager.
I don't have those for you, I'm sorry.

It's actually quite simple :
1, First I removed all apps that was Gear related.
2. Secondly I removed my Gear BT connection, both on phone and on the Gear.
3. Put the phone in Airplane mode or disable internet connection completely (both wifi and mobile data).
4. Then I installed an earlier version op Gear Manager (2.1.14071502) which was one of the last "full" installes before Samsung decided to remove the additional apps in the installer. Also in this version the full preview still worked.
5. Once installed, turn on BT and connect to the Gear. NOT ENABLE INTERNET YET !
6. When it has found the phone and Gear Manager is working, set up the notifications the way you want it. It won't tell you to update to newer version as it doesn't have any internet connection yet. Also make sure you disable automatic update in Gear Manager
7. When everything is set up completely, you can turn on internet connection(s)
8. When opening Gear Manager, it will most likely ask to update (as it now sees that an update is available). It's up to you if you want to update.
The older version has worked on my S5 for some time, but suddenly it stopped transferring the notifications to my Gear.
That's why I updated to latest version.
I hope this works on a Nexus 5, but it did work on my S5.

It's not this simple.
You're running the latest S5 SAMSUNG 5.0, so you have lots of stuff in place that others don't. I tried your steps and it failed, it wouldn't even load Gear Manager for me.
For instance, I'm running a Note 4 (T-mobile US) on CM12... There's a big difference in Lollipop on your device and others'. I believe you have the only device that runs official Samsung Lollipop. I've tried loading Galaxy Apps, other touchwiz stuff, and installing Gear Manager many many different ways with no success.

This is pretty much as far as you can get without an official Samsung Lollipop

Ok
Here is the latest version of the GM 2.2.141128 and apk 's all of them, even Saproviders and samsung store pay apk. I used build.prop twicks for S5 and tizen gear1 on a 5.0 lollipop gpe rom.
Unfortunately although GM didn't crash, it got stuck on the hostmanager apk fc.(haven't tryied null rom that uses the older host providers).

I just wanna try your .zip but I have a question: should I install all apps or copy them to system folder?
Galaxy S IV @ GE 5.0

BlackBerry Mod

THIS IS FOR ANDROID 6.0+ ONLY!!!
This is mod I use on my LG V10.
Package was originally created as an add-on for Eliminater74's Rom.
I just ported it over as a flashable zip for my use but I figured I'd share.
Put zip on your external sd card and flash from twrp.
You will get a few "BlackBerry services not working " in the beginning but they will soon go away after some usage. These apps were on the BlackBerry Priv and are pretty useful especially the Hub. If there are some apps you don't like, just uninstall or freeze with titanium backup.
There is a launcher, contacts, calendar, bbhub, password keeper..... just a bunch of stuff.
Enjoy

Do you use titanium backup? If so, under preferences you can use market doctor to attach app links to play store and that should help. But, j700h is outside the U.S.? That might be the issue but I can't say for sure. Try market doctor and let me know please.

Yes, installed the Blackberry Manager by Colbalt and it lets you install all the apps.
I prefer however downloading the folders from Colbalt (just check one of the previous posts on the thread) and install the apps I like (blackberry hub, calendar and keyboard) -the rest are just average (contacts on MM is way better than that of BB)
