As many users here are finding Samsung have limited the Gear apps shown to certain devices. As such I thought it would be good to catalog the apps each phone/model can see. This way we can use build.prop modifications to get all the apps we want.
To get apps to show three lines must be edited in the build.prop:
Code:
ro.product.model
ro.product.name
ro.product.device
The following two posts show the two phone models that I have currently tested.
Hope this helps someone.
Edit:
Seems that the S5 model number seems to produce the best selection so far. See below for details.
Phone/Model: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - US Sprint
Build.prop edits:
Code:
ro.product.model=SPH-L900
ro.product.name=toltespr
ro.product.device=toltespr
Apps: See attached
Phone/Model: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - UK Vodafone
Build.prop edits:
Code:
ro.product.model=SM-N9005
ro.product.name=hltexx
ro.product.device=hlte
Apps: See attached
Phone/Model: Samsung Galaxy S5 -
Build.prop edits:
Code:
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
May not be needed but I had them set as they are my defaults.
Code:
ro.product.name=hltexx
ro.product.device=hlte
Apps: See attached
Categories same as for Note 2
Edit:
Some people are reporting issues with Samsung apps upgrading their stock apps to those available on the s5, upgrading s health will stop it from working and you will lose any data when downgrading to your stock version. You have been warned.
Also works with ro.device.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900T

is there a say to get these apps on a non samsung device? I paired my Tizen gear with my Oppo Find7a but cant find any apps for it...
Any chance to get the instant settings app working on a s4 without root?
I need this f***** app or another similar app, but i can't find -.-

Don't have any problems with : ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
I've got a S5ized rom for the S4 with everything coming from S5 (apps and so on ...).
Working perfect ! I don't understand why they'd do that, if they want us to stay with the Gear, they should allow us to use most apps available here lol
This is quite a trick!!
I have a Note 2 with stock rom (with root, because with DN3 I couldn't install some apps in my gear 1, so I reverted back to stock).
I use SAMSUNG-SM-G900A in my build.props and almost every day I have new apps coming! absolutely amazing!!:good:
thanks man!
Hey!
Some users which have nearly full access in the gear manager app store to the apps are able to upload the app files of the "free" apps for the peoples they don't have root?
This where really great!
On my Sony Z Ultra I see the Tizen apps and a few will install however the majority of apps will give an
"Installation filed: Try Later. (0) error.
Anyone else have this issue and /or a solution to fix?

You may to get a "certificate-registration.xml" from samsung and then copy the file to your gear in the following directory: "Home/Developer"
Then you're able to install apk's which are not from the gear manager store.
I wrote a guide in german language, so i think it not help you.
Can't write it in english because my english is not so good and not enough to do this
But you can try to look on it:

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

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

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?

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.

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

I see all over the web that the apk for Bixby & S8 Launcher are available to install on Note 5.
Has anyone been able to install and successfully use all or most features of Bixby on their Note 5?
Also, if S8 touchwiz is installed on Note 5, and then uninstalled after trying, will original Note 5 touchwiz be back, and will it have old settings?

Just dnt delete the stock touchwiz home apk... Keeo it stored some where else and replace with s8 touchwiz home... If u want the old one back just replace the s8 one with the stock one....

I m using n-droid rom with s8 launcher. I have to deactivate gallery card, video card and install latest update apk of briefing.
I'm on note 5 at&t with Android 7.0. It won't allow install of touchwiz update apk or Bixby apk. Keeps saying another app with conflicting name ect. I'm using Nova prime as my main launcher. Anyone figure this out yet? Tried disable touchwiz and install. Nada.

Follow the steps of this tutorial, I'm using an AT&T Note 5 which is running Nougat and this method works fine. I've installed most of the S8 Apps on my Note5.
My experience with the s8 launcher
I have got the launcher to install on to my S7 but none of clearing cashe and clearing data, using another launcher while disabling the original touchwiz will work.
Only way I found that worked was to do a factory reset and when setting up the phone, don't sign in to Samsung.
Once your back on the home screen go straight on the net and download the Samsung s8 launcher with bixby.
Once all that downloads then sign back into Samsung.
My biggest problem now is all of a sudden bixby has just stopped working. Everytime I open bixby home it says app has stopped working.
Tried signing in and out of Samsung.....tried clearing cashe and data from all bixby based apps and even tried uninstalling and installing it again but the same keeps happening.
Any tips people. (Note... my device isn't rooted and it's still under 2 year warranty, so i cant root it yet.)
Hey guys, I am currently using Samsung Galaxy Note 5 .
If you want the Galaxy S8 launcher and Hello Bixby but got errors, you can try these out:
Download Bixby Home version 2.0.03.3
Download TouchWiz Home version 6.1.58.5
These 2 works very well, no errors so far, hope these help you. Enjoy!
Hi,

It would just trip Knox as stock filmware has been altered, if there was a way to do that.
You are better off using a package disabler on the playstore or disable them via adb - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....arrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/
You can try Samsung Member Apps from Play Store.Check Diagnostic>Unused Apps>Check which one you never/rarely used>Delete.
