Folks
Is there any way to use Gear with a note 5?
I know the story about custom ROM Null, but the fact is that a special manager version as to be installed in the pphone, since it is a note 5 with DM-Verity check and the manager is a system application am confused..

I see that I received an update to the Gear Manager today. Now I can't connect the Galaxy S4 to the Gear 2 Neo. Anyone else having this problem?
Background:
Before I noticed the update (which had connected to the Neo just fine), I looked at the watch faces running under Multi Watch and saw they were corrupted (the number for the calendar had floated off to the upper right in the screen). So I decided to reset my watch. When I tried to connect, the watch and phone evidently exchanged PINs correctly, but the phone kept jumping back to the 'Connect' screen and wouldn't recognize the watch as connected.
The Gear keeps reverting to the "select the Gear you want your phone to connect to" screen.
Gear seems paired successfully in the phone's BT settings, but won't connect there either.
Multiple deletes of the Gear in the Bluetooth settings haven't worked. Uninstalled and reinstalled the Gear Manager several times. Cleared all the caches and data for Gear Manager several times.
S4 rooted with Towelroot; SuperSU installed. Root access granted to Titanium Backup, Memory Booster, Root Explorer. Formerly had BusyBox on it and xPosed framework (running Wanam). Uninstalled BusyBox and xPosed and Wanam.
Any ideas?
Did you reboot both the phone and the gear?
Last resort is to reset the gear. It is a pain, but is better than not having it connected. I had to do the same thing.
Yes - rebooted both the phone and the Gear 2 Neo several times. I've been able to test this with another Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy S5 and the Neo connects to both of them. Looks like the problem is in the app, or something that happened when my S4 got rooted.
Looks like the Gear 2 Neo goes back in the box until another update comes out for Gear Manager.

Another option is to remove the gear manager you installed from sammy and install the one found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686
And is the ROM you have on kitkat?
Good idea - tried it and got the same response. Couldn't find a version number on the one from the link, but I suspect it is the same as Sammy released today.
ROM is stock 4.4.2 Android from VZ - I545VRIFNC5. Rooted. I put BusyBox Pro back on there, and xPosed framework, and Wanam, but I haven't yet enabled Wanam.

Just had the same, what happened to me was that I flashed a new ROM, couldn't get it to connect just like yours.
Resolution was to flash another ROM, one that is basically stock.
Then the Gear Manager kicked in and installed all the relevant apps for the gear neo when I opened it.
I believe that the problem was with some missing files from the ROM I installed first when it stopped working.
I also had to go to get then newer "galaxy apps" from Samsung's mobile website..
You could make a backup and flash some other stock rooted ROM see if that helps..
Otherwise I don't know, this was just a a suggestion..

Question from a n00b
I was successful in rooting VRUFNC5, so here's my (probably noob) question:
Is there a VRUFNC5 file that I can put on the SDCard and use to reflash my phone to stock?
I am not experienced in using ODIN, and the instructions I've found here seem to presume a bit of knowledge that I am not confident I have.
If I can get it back to stock, I'll reconnect the Gear 2 Neo, and then re-root it.

Hi, I bought a Gear 2 Neo from Walmart, but I have a Samsung Galaxy Victory running 4.1.2. Currently that is the latest android version for the phone. I can only install Gear Manager 1.2.x on the phone, but that does not support Gear 2. I can install some extracted files from Gear Manager 2.x, but I cannot install the Gear 2 support apk; it gives me parsing package error. I have tried everything from the galaxygear1_2.apk to installing a custom TizenMod Rom onto the watch. I would really love to use the watch and not have to wait until I upgrade my phone in August 2015. Thx
Hey guys,
I got the gear 2 neo as a gift yesterday, i have an HTC m8 and an iphone 5, i downloaded an application called samsung gear on the M8 (costs like 2.5$) but found out that there is no Samsung store in it (which should be obvious)
So i guess i must root the gear right?
I read that i must have the NE5 firmware, i can't know if i have this firmware or not.. my software version is R381XXU0ANCD , how can i know if it is the NE5 and how can i download the NE5 firmware if mine isn't it?
The rooting procedure isn't a problem to me.
After rooting, will I be able to install custom faces or load some faces i downloaded from the net easily? and how? since my mobile doesn't have the Samsung store so i can't install that trendie watches app or any other app ..
Any help please?
And can I benefit completely from the gear 2 neo if i pair it with my iphone 5?
Many thanks guys
Exact Thing here.
I do have the HTC One M7 and the Gear 2 Neo, trying to Install Apps to the watch..
Do I have to root the watch and the M7 to make apps (apks) work or only the watch?
Is there a possibility to install the Samsung Apps - Store and download apps to my HTC?
I experimented the whole Nights.. I managed to install the Gear Manager, Notifications do work but no Apps..
Thanks in Advance, i appreciate any Help!
you shuold be able to install apps....for the most part the gear apps are thru the samsung app store.
but being that its rooted you can install the apps thru a filemanager and then run it
I am able to install apps to my device. when I open them, it should create an icon on my watch.
Nothing happens except a massage on my phone "the app can not be installed".
Would rooting my watch solve that issue?
i told you that i don't have the store cz im not a samsung user...
can anyone help please??

we did. your not a samsung user. so your only option is to root your hand set. as well as the watch. rooting your hand set will allow you to install apps via the store. the store would have to be side loaded of course. which means installed by you off a sd card or downloaded file to your device(phone). the watch would need to be rooted to by pass samsungs app protection. to allow apps to be installed by a none samsung phone. then all you do is side load your apps. the watch rom i use is here. either way you need to root. hopefully your watch is still version NE5 as that has root. the new NL2 i believe currently is awaiting a generous dev to have a look.

Hi there,
First of all, I know that most of us Hates bixby and you'll start mocking me , but I think that i get use to it and find it helpful somehow.
The problem is that after I am rooted my galaxy note 9 using TWRP on this thread :
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos)
the bixby app doesn't work any more, it just take me to the welcoming screen and playing the female sound , which said : "welcome to the new bixby "
am also can't find the sitting of the app in the my device.
my friend told me to try hiding the root
My friend told me to try hiding the root
is it gonna work ??
it's worked after hiding the root by magisk
I used the magisk to hide everything related to bixby and knox , then I opened the setting for those apps and clear data and cache, and booooom the bixby worked.
Hello.
I'd like to know if someone can confirm if the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lineup is still compatible with Gear VR after the One UI 3.0/Gear VR. I'm looking foward to buy a SM-R325 and I want to know if I can still use it with my Galaxy S10e G970F on Android 11 or if I have to downgrade to Android 10.
Sorry if I've posted in the wrong section.
It works! I´ve tested mine last night on UI3/Android11 with Vodafone Branding
Has anyone been able to get an usb external drive to work? I had an external SSD that alerts that the drive is connected, but doesn't show up in Oculus, apps like Pigasis, Skybox, or Oculus Video... just the main phone and SD card folder systems. It worked for sure before the update. Looked at the permissions, and storage is allowed.
I have s10+ SM-G975F. Im on android 11, stock rom with magisk and twrp. And Gear VR works! I tried to get Gear VR working on other ROMs, but it's simply impossible. The problem is getting the Gear VR service app installed as a system app.
These are the files you need.

Thank you for this app share. I am trying to see if I can get my S21+ to work as I hate to lose this functionality. Lost alot of little things so far making the jump from my Note 8.
Out of curiosity did anyone get a network error message when trying to start the initialisation process?

Hello, how to install with Magisk ? please, thank you.
Hi,
Some months ago, Gear VR worked nicely in S10e Android 11 OneUI 3.1 (if you update your android beyond this, Gear VR is disabled (not supported). Even in S7 Android 8.0 SE 9.0 worked. But last update to Oculus system by Facebook/Meta has logged out the account and I can't log even though I've updated my oculus account to new Meta System, following the steps dictated by Meta.
