I have the Samsung S4 Model SGH-1337M - Android version 4.4.2
- Just updated my Samsung Galaxy Gear 1 to Tizen through Samanug Kies with no problem.
- Samsung Gear manager was also updated to version 2.1.14052101.
- The Samsung Apps version is 14041504.21.032.0
A coleague of mine just updated his Galaxy Gear 1 but he owns a Samsung S3 running Android 4.4.2
He is also running the same version of Gear Manager.
Problem Description:
When comparing upgrades, I noticed that he installed new apps on his Gear1 watch that I cannot see on my Gear Manager Samsung Apps.
We compared all software versions and they are all the same.
His Gear Manager showed an additional category that is not on my category list and a lot of apps that I do not see in my list.
For example I do not have the finance group of apps and apps in every sections are missing and not the same.
Please see attached screen shots from both phones.

Has anyone noticed the same behavior. Is there a reason not to see or download apps?
@nkgear the S4 doesn't yet link well with Gear 1 Tizen
If you are rooted change your build.prop in /system/app
Search in Gear General thread, it's discussed several times

The same here. I haven't rooted my Galaxy, so have to wait for Samsung to solve this crazy problem?
SAMSUNG SOLVE IT.
Hello all,
I've been using a non-rooted Galaxy note 3 and Gear combo now for a while, but recently decided to take the plunge and flashed Tizen onto my Gear. However, after the upgrade, I can no longer access any of the gear apps in the samsung app store. The initial app store homescreen displays a few apps, such as the editor's picks, etc. but once I select any of the displayed apps, it gives me a "no data" message. It also displays the same "no data" screen if i hit the "Top" or "Category" tabs at the top of the screen I've tried reflashing different versions of Tizen, and presenty have a rooted version of NE9 running.
Has anyone else come across this problem? or better yet, has anyone actually been able to remedy it?
I am getting the exact same problem. Note 3 and Gear 1, just upgraded to Tizen last night and now Gear Manager apps show no data. Hope someone can provide a fix.

Hey, as xda doesn't want to let me post a reply on a dev thread (because less than 10 posts) i'll have to post it here:
I recieved the Gear Live earlier today. There are 3 apps that Samsung has included that duplicate the function of stock apps. These are the Heart Rate Monitoring, the Stopwatch and the Timer. Though the stock apps are still installed (if I say "Ok Google, start Stopwatch" i still can open the stock stopwatch) the Samsung apps replaces them: in the Start... app list and in Wear Mini Launcher I can only open the Samsung app. I don't like the Samsung version of the stopwatch, but there's even more. The Samsung apps break functionality of the timer app. If I say: Ok Google set timer for 10 seconds(or X seconds),the watch opens the alarm app... And there's no way to set a timer-.-
I want to remove the Samsung version of this apps and leave the stock ones. Is there any way to do it? Can I use AdamOutler's temp root boot (can't link post, thanks xda the post is the one in Gear Live Android Development forum) to remove those apps from /system?
And also, will it do the trick if I do this?:
I've been thinking of downloading the AdamOutler's stock firmware, remove those apps from there and flash the firmware then.
Can someone help me please? Thaanks!!:good:
You can change the default app for the timer function in the android wear app on your phone.

Doesn't do anything. In the Wear app I have only Timer app to choose (the stock one) but in the watch still appears the Samsung one.

its not an apk, i tried the apk still didnt work you need the newer firmware, im with telus. obviously will need root to do this.
Downlaod apk should work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2cmbkeyamj...dStub.apk?dl=0
install ael kernel v5, clear cache dalvik, reboot
download apk from above link
After downloading apk you wont see that app, I used Nova, created a shortcut, chose activities, then vrsetupwizardstub, then samsung gear vr, then hit the created shortcut and done. or you can download quick short cut maker from the play store
then when you install phone into gear vr the first time everything should be golden!
Was going to try and avoid having to root but I don't have much patience to wait for lollipop and don't want $200 collecting dust so I will try this. Thanks
*you link is not working though*
Can you also link me to the thread for that kernel thanks
Alight let's try again.
Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pment/30-november-2014-n4-ael-kernel-t2961240
Vr setup apk https://mega.co.nz/#!7xd2xDob!uqqCiYYpTaDIoenAK4H-cBTineKRG4xiTp-ZlVb6P98
Dk 3.0 rom in t-mobile android dev forum
1. Flash rom first
2. Flash kernel right after do not boot after flashing the rom! or it will bootloop. If you do then boot into recovery and flash kernel
3. After downloading apk you wont see tha app, I used Nova, created a shortcut, chose activities, then vrsetupwizardstub, then samsung gear vr, then hit the created shortcut and done. or you can download quick short cut maker from the play store
then when you install phone into gear vr the first time everything should be golden!
Cant I use the kernel with just the stock bell mobility rom one rooted?
Mine wouldn't boot with the stock Telus kernel. Plus ael is really nice. Try it if works great if not flash ael.
Flashed all on top of my bell stock rom and it worked, ran the vr setup and still didn't work then realized that it is most likely the phone software/build that needs to be a newer version. Just Flashed dk 3 with ael kernel and will try setup and report back.
I have cm12 on my note the unofficial version is there anything I can do to make the setup.work on this rom
i flashed firekat with the ael kernel and when i start up the vrsetup wizard it still tells me my phone needs to be upgraded, what am i doing wrong?
edit: figured it out, if you are installing firekat you have to install the version 7 regular version not the canadian one, then flash AEL on top and it works.
still wondering if its possible though to get this going on AOSP.

I've tried this several times to see if i can get Oculus Home to run properly with a Google Cardboard. Furthest I can tell you I got was loading up developer mode in Gear VR service to run downloaded apps from the Oculus store. Depending on what kernel and version of lollipop you're running you may run into some odd screen errors. However, low persistence mode should change your screen display to a bright flickering when developer mode is enabled. After loading up a downloaded app/game from oculus within Gear VR service you won't be able to look around because the tracking data is specific to enhancements made by the Gear VR HMD.
Long story short, you could theoretically play bluetooth controller enabled games. You wouldn't have any headtracking

Yep. I recently figured that out. It uses the headtracking in the Gear VR headset. I originally thought it was just a fancy shell. Apparently now. I wish there was a mod to be able to use the Note 4's gyros. But there are mods out there where people are creating headtracking circuit boards. But that seems out of my league.

Yea... I'd say wait for Rift CV1 if you got a good computer. Gear VR is just a novelty piece tbh. You can only use it in short bursts of time until it overheats. I'd say an hour at max without a fan blowing into your face. Don't get me wrong though, it's worth the $99USD price tag to experience and share with family and friends.

will never work. Not fully. Its optimzed for the Gear VR headset depending on the display size as well.
not sure anybody still cares but i went to a friends house in VT a few weeks back, got a Gear VR delivered to his place by amazon.com, brought it back home (canada) and I have an american VPN and had no issues at all to set it up, I have access to any and all US only content such as MilkVR. It seems, unlike the playstore, the content is geo-restricted and doesnt take into account the billing info on your samsung account. If anybody has issues, try a free VPN, or rent one for a month.
Is anyone still looking/having issues with the Gear VR on Note 4 in canada using the Arcadia lollipop 5.1.1 Rom by Emporia.
My headset worked, asked me (in a vr environment) to remove the headset and install the necessary apps. once complete, it had me re-insert my phone into the headset, only to display a single image of the welcome screen and then hang on the health and safety warning, (that was also in 2d and only viewable in its entirety without the headset on.
if I remove the phone, within a brief second it shows "calibrating" before it realizes it has been disconnected. and the oculus software shuts down.
I appreciate any help anyone could provide, I too hate the idea of the money having been wasted on something that no longer works at all.
I've searched google up and down and cannot find the answer to my question. The notifications on the watch are great, but is it possible to view the entire message on the watch? I find it odd that if I receive a text I can't view the whole thing and need to pull out my phone. I was hoping someone developed a way around this.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
You can find a lot of information here on the forum when you search for it and read up on it.
It used to be possible, on earlier versions of Gear Manager when you ticked "full preview" in the Gear Manager app.
However since a few months, Samsung has updated their Gear Manager app and since then not all apps show full preview anymore.
You can try to install an earlier build of Gear Manager.
Thank you for your post. I will do some more research on that.
I think i'm going to root and install the Null rom, hopefully it will help solve a lot of the annoying restrictions of the stock software.
