Bixby & S8 Launcher Issues - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?
Thanks in Advance!

For now only hello bixby app wrks.... Full features will b available once sammy releases s8.... And the s8 launcher apk has to b replaced in system/prive-apps/touchwiz home folder... 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....
And if u use hello bixby, disable video and gallery in the cards to b viewed to avoid crashes

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!

Problem after Loading ML1 Firmware

I am a little confused. I loaded the new ML1 firmware with success. However when I installed novaluancher prime APK and run the launcher I cannot install any of the widgets whether they be clocks or whatever. When I was running the MK7 firmware I did not have any such problem. Is there something that I am doing wrong. I did not upgrade my Gear Manager firmware as I remain on 1.5.123002
Did you install as a system app?

Brendo, In Wondershare I loaded it under the APP category. I do not know if that is a system area or not. I just added it to the rest of the listed apps. Was that not correct. Everytime I try to now load a widget it says Nova Launcher has stopped

hi
if you are not rooted/custom rom..and on stock rom ML1/GM 1.5 ( like i am )
and you load NOVA (@ wondershare )...
Nova , will install ,but you will not be able to access/place any widgets on gear
and yes even if you tried you will get "Nova " force closing..
ask me i tested it a while back to see what happens ..!! !!
also some other functions of Nova will most likely work ,thats it.!!
(if you are on custom rom// or root ... yes ..different story?)
good luck

Have a search here. Probs find it using nova as keyword

Alright everyone I figured it out. I think before loading the new ML1 firmware I reset the watch to stock where it was no longer rooted and no longer had a custom null rom (I believe, remember I am new to this). Anyway, I went back and rooted the device all over after I reloaded the recovery. Then I loaded Null 18 and now my widgets and everything work with the Nova Launcher.
Thanks everyone for trying to assist me and I am on my way to another future mess up---trust me!!!

Tizen Apps - Phone Models

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:

You can get around this by installing the s5 health service as well to go with it then s5 s health will work for most

[Q] Leaked Android 5.0 Apps Help

Hey y'all
I found a link this morning for the new Android 5.0 leaked Google apps: http://http://phandroid.com/2014/10/20/check-out-the-new-messenger-google-play-music-and-more-leaked-android-5-0-lollipop/
I've simply installed the Messaging apk and it is working really well on my Rooted AT&T Note 3.
I attempted to install the new Gmail app, but I could not get it to work. I was getting FCs and had to jump back to the current Gmail.
Has anyone been able to get the Gmail apk to work?
UPDATE,
I've posted this in the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Q&A forum", and there are a handful of people that have the New Gmail apk running just fine on their devices (other carriers/ non-stock ROMs).
I'm thinking that maybe it has something to do with Stock Rooted Touchwiz...

I may be wrong on this but normally you would need to install the new market apk's in system first so that the market framework is correct.
make sure you backup first!

Upgraded to Marshmallow: reminder apps not working anymore

As per title since I upgraded my SM-N920C every single alarm reminder app I have tried so far is not 'waking up' and sounding when a Google Calendar reminder is due.
The device is not rooted, deep sleep is OK and I remember I had that issue a couple of times with Lollipop (it got self fixed without doing anything...).
Please help. [emoji20]

Hi ,
Firstly ,i am still on Lollipop ,Android v5.1.1
When i had similar issues quite some time back ,i went to stock Smart Manager ..and turn that paticular app off (.from optimization .)
I believe Marshmallow has something similar..Doze or still Smart manager . or granting of Permissions ,( when installing an app .)
Also most probably you did not you grant app permission " Always run " or something like that .?
Logic tells me , app is not waking up , its been kept in a sleep mode ?
Just remember ,
i am not on Marshmallow,so i cannot say/check ,( for sure .?)
Good luck
Thanks for your support, but I have disabled Smart Manager app optimisation already and I got no permission request while running those calendar apps.

Go to Battery > Battery Usage and hit the 'More' button. There select 'Optimise battery usage' and disable any app you want a notification from. It's probably Doze that is keeping your apps from waking up.
Unless you have some other task killer running and killing them...
Thanks however I can't go into that section right now as it force closes (issue probably related to Debloater).
I will try that as soon as I sort that other issue!
Guess you disabled the Smart Manager app (it was in your previous post, but i thought you just disabled the 'app power saving')? Enabling that again should do it.
No the fact is that I disabled some packages (mainly KNOX stuff and others) by using Debloater when I was running Lollipop.
Now that I am running Marshmallow no matter how many times I try to re enable them they still remain disabled...
About Smart Manager I didn't disable the package, I just switched it off.

hi ,
I had a similar issue on my old rooted Note 4 ,
disabled apps in stock Apps manager ( instead of freezing apps with my Titanium app )
After flashing another updated Rom ,the relevant apps were still disable .!!
As far as i can remember , i had to do a full factory reset and flash Rom again .
(Factory reset alone did not help and doing a dirty flash also did not help )
Very frustrating issue .
good luck

Yeah I did a complete wipe and factory reset too (I actually had to otherwise every single app kept crashing under Marshmallow), but I won't use custom ROMs because I want to keep the device unrooted (using payment systems and others).
I strongly hope to solve that issue 'cause I am not known for having a good memory. :shy:
OK I *might* have found out that the cause is that under Marshmallow you HAVE to enable notifications in the stock calendar app otherwise third-party ones won't work properly!
The funny thing is that it's working great and you don't get double notifications (stock+third-party apps) at all.[emoji38]

One UI | App installation Problems

Did anyone update to android P?
While I was on Oreo I could sideload APKs from apkmirror.
Most of the updates on existing built-in apps like Samsung Messages, Samsung Gallery, Samsung Contacts, One UI home, Samsung Camera etc would be installed via the APK files I'd download from apkmirror.
But now as I on Android P, none of the apps aren't getting installed. Except those of Samsung Note, Reminder, I could update those from galaxy store but for most of the other apps I previously mentioned wasn't the case.
Any help?
