Best I have been able to figure out is gear manager isn't compatible with Lollipop as of yet.

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.

I have version 1.7.112899 running on my S5 with Lollipop, which is (according to Galaxy Apps) the latest version.
Dated 10 december 2014
On my Gear 1 I have Null_23 rom running.
Not all notifications are showing with full preview (like Whatsapp or Gmail), but some apps show more info (like Facebook and LinkedIn)

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).

Hi!
Ive been trying to pair my brand new Galaxy gear with my Samsung Galaxy s3 Int,
Curent ROM: Cyanogenmod 10.2-20131115-NIGHTLY-i9300
Version: 4.3.1
So i found this apk that should work on any devise for Galaxy gear.
Installed, when i try to pair the device over NFC and Bluetooth i get this message:
Saying; com.samung.andriod.sdk.accessory.ssdkunsup portedException: Device not supported.
I've been trying to search as much as possible at that error message with no results.
Any clues what u should try next ?
(cant really post links yet)
as far as i know, you can't use Gear on custom rom on S3. at least not yet.
i'm using 'official leaked' 4.3 firmware that is bugged and crash a lot, but it works.

Thou kinda whana try lastest Gear manager and see the newer Notifications service..
I'm currently on the Tmobile USA 4.3 TW rom and paired up my Gear with no problems, all functions work properly. I also updated the Gear to the lastest firmware using odin, since the update has not being pushed by samsung here in the US as of yesterday. After updating thru odin, all notifications are being pushed, just remember to also update your Gear Manager app.

There are the page for install galaxy gear manager 1.5...
http://forumxda-developers.blogspot.mx/2013/11/t-mobile-galaxy-s4-42-users-howto-gear.html
FINALLY found a way to get Gear Manager 1.5 working with full notifications on a stock, rooted Galaxy S4. Here's how -
REQUIREMENTS - Null_rom on the Gear, 4.2 stock T-Mobile rooted on your S4. Might work non-rooted, I'm unsure.
1 - Install Null_rom on your Gear (most recent version)
2 - Download the attached .zip file and extract
3 - Install GR.GearManagerStub.apk FIRST. As soon as it's done, reboot your phone and Gear (DO NOT RUN GEAR MANAGER YET)
4 - After rebooting, Install GearManager_1.5.111304.apk
5 - Reboot phone again to be sure.
Start up Gear Manager, pair it, profit.
NOTE: This will wipe and restore your Gear, be aware that although null_rom will continue and you'll stay rooted the sideloaded apps will disappear and need to be reloaded.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y4w3ciobo1...20Files).zip
I'm using a Dropbox link temporarily to get this out there, but if someone can post a more permanent location for the file I'd appreciate it since I need to delete this one soon. I'll update OP with a new link once someone has it hosted.

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.

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.
GEAR MANAGER INFO AND REFERENCE
see post 2 for versions and downloads
i noticed today, my gear manager updated to a new version and downloaded and installed 3 new items, im guessing theyre overwrites to previous software, anyway
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

Thanks man. I'll give it a try with droidwall or xprivacy
I see your gear 2 is rooted. Is it worth doing that?

Well. root is needed if you want to modify files in sdb.exe and/or in tizen sdk but if you flash tizenmod rom. That's pre rooted anyway

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
IF SOMEONE HELPS YOU. OR YOU USE THEIR WORK. DONT BE LAZY. HIT THE "THANKS" BUTTON.

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

Won't work. That's the Polish TW Rom and Gear Manager works in that, even if you're on an older version. 2.2.114 is an OTA update I got some time ago (I'm in Europe).
Source: I have 2.2.14110499 and I've tried both CM12 and the 1BNL2 Lollipop ROM.
I just got the neo and this scared me bad. It said just install samsung apps from website and then search gear manager. Except when i searched i got a bunch of crappy chinese games that looked like scams.
Hello,
I am in the same problem. Android Lollipop and gear down.
The software will launch and I have a message: "HostManager" has stopped
When you think that a version will come please?
thank you

Most likely when Samsung officially releases lollipop for its phones. Supposedly this month my TMO s5 is supposed to get the lollipop update. If so, I'll update my gear manager and pull the apk files for my nexus 6.
I found this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/gear-manager-lollipop-t2985170
but it didn't work for me. Anyone else tried this?

Same problem
I got the same problem.
Samsung gear manager not working On Galaxy s5 with CM12.
I returned to the stock rom android 5.0 lollipop - gear manager is working great
Don't think that gear manager not compatible with lollipop. It is working on stock rom.

I wasn't able to get it to work on stock ROM on nexus 6. Did you do anything special aside from the usual build prop changes?

Recently downloaded new version of Gear Manager from Aptoide: Version: 2.2.15011799. Don't know if this will help anybody else, but it has been the only version that loaded & opened (without error/stopped notices etc) on my Galaxy Express (GT-I8730) running CM12. Whilst I have BT connectivity, sadly Samsung Gear App can't find the Gear 2 Neo.
Regards

Downloaded this version and everything was going great, but host manager keeps FC'ing on me during gear manager setup. :-\
That's on s5 and my nexus 6.
I'm sure many of us have updated our phones to Lollipop and lost the capability of using our Galaxy Gear. I used the Galaxy Gear app with the gearstub replacement method, and now it does not work.
Did anyone find a fix for this???
I really want to use my gear again without going back to KitKat. :crying:
Does that only count for the Nexus devices who received Lollipop already ?
Or also for Galaxy devices ?
I have the option to upgrade to Lollipop on my Galaxy S5, but ofcourse I want it to work with my Gear 1.
When it doesn't work (yet), I'll prefer to wait untill it works.
So did someone with a S5 already update to Lollipop and can tell if the Gear 1 is still working ?
Ok, I've installed Lollipop on my S5 and it even works with an older version of Gear Manager (for full notifications).

HI, what version?

2.1.14o71502
But when you install it, remember to put your phone in airplane mode.
Let is finish installing and then open the program.
Enable all the notifications you want including preview.
When done, take phone out of airplane mode and it will ask you to update.
Don't do that and you should be fine
