Hi all,
Samsung have finally released a version of Gear Manager that doesn't require Touchwiz to be installed.
Version is 2.2.15100741N is out and even shows up on the Google Play Store. Installs fine on a Nexus 6 with 6.0 and a Oneplus One running 5.1.1
At the moment it only works with the Gear S2, but i wonder if Samsung will release a version compatible with our watch??
If not, do you think this version could be modified to work with our old watch???
Not showing on my google play.

I am on cm12.1 based rom with gear s2 but unfotunately the app fails to start saying the os has been modified in an unauthorized way. Ugh.

The same here, Galaxy Gear 1
I see it on my play store but that's for the new S2 watch. I would update to it to see if it works with my Gear 1 but it was already a pain in the ass getting it to work correctly with my LG G3, and I don't wanna screw it up lol

Yeah everything works. Have to sideload apps because samsung app store doesn't work. Also, svoice doesn't work either.

Anyone ever figure this out? I'm running CM12 on a Galaxy 3 phone. Not able to install any of the Samsung apps. Just got my Gear Classic yesterday. Can't even use it.
about to purchase the tab s2 verizon model, and doing some research, i came across this post from twitter from a bout a month ago:

i'm not sure how safe this rooting app is, its the first i've heard of it, but that post gives me a little hope. i checked the firmware build number and it does match.
is anyone willing to give it a try and use some root required apps to verify it works?

hey, thanks for trying, i just got my tablet today,...suprisingly, native hotspot works without any limitations or extra apps (i still have UDP), but i would like root so i can enable all apps to be multiwindow! i use in the car with waze for navigation split screened with my podcast/media player app. waze isn't enabled for multiwindow, and neither are some of my other apps i use on a daily basis. overall though, i am impressed with the tablet, except the frame is plastic-y, wish it had some kind of metal frame instead but still nice. "upgrading" from note pro 12.2 verizon, but i think i'll still hold on to it because i have it working the way i want, bought this new one specifically for phantom 4, until i get comfortable using it as my daily tablet.
thanks again for trying the srsroot app. guess we're still **** out of luck rooting.
i think there is an app out there that EDITS/MODIFIES an apk to enable multiwindow mode, but doesnt work with all apps, and some apps that depend on certain services or accounts and verifying don't work properly, rooting was the only easy way to enable multiwindow for everything for me.
Does anyone know if this actually works for the Galaxy S10?
I've checked the notes on google play and the only thing I've seen is that it works for pie (which I suspect means will work on the S10) and that for themes they need to be updated for the s10 (or pie). I'm guessing as long as it's all updated for pie it should work on the S10?
I've downloaded them, but I'm not quite ready to plunge into applying a theme - I've read a few comments it that they work with one UI but not all parts theme yet.

According to these 2 articles from June-18 Google has intentionally killed the Substratum-Rootless option
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...tratum-theme-breakage-intentional-wont-fixed/
https://www.androidcentral.com/google-confirms-death-rootless-substratum-theming-android-p
I still a get a shock every time I open Gmail because of the whiteness
So I know that this phone has a locked bootloader, but is there a way I can still root? Bolt loader allows people to download custom roms but i don't plan on doing that. Is there a way I can root without the intention of downloading custom roms?
Also im.new so sorry if I'm doing anything wrong.
I'm a long time Android user that used to be big on rooting and ROMs. That said, using ADB and Swift Installer or Substratum, I've got every mod I wanted without root.
ADB allows you to remove bloatware from your default user profile, but allows software updates as well. This prevents such apps from ever running in the background.
Swift Installer or Substratum combined with themes gives you great customization of the interface such as background color, accent color, and icon style. It can even theme apps that the Samsung store themes cannot. Samsung has left access to these theming engines enabled in the software for the Note 9 so far, but this could be blocked in a future update.
I love Swift Installer and it can be downloaded from the Play Store. Make sure you're on the default Samsung theme before applying themes.

There is no root as yet for the Note 9 U OR U1 model. It is being worked on though, and progress can be checked by going to the General Discussion section.

Can't you get exynos models from tmobile? Or do you only gets those from Samsung. And I really can't "trade" it in since it's being paid off.
All US Note 9 models are Snapdragon. Only the International versions (N960F) are Exynos. You can find them easily, but the warranty may be an issue.

Nope. Clickbait than a MOFO!!!
https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:1950/firmware:19034
That's supposedly the files they point to but as you can see, CF-autoroot is not supported for our device.
Sites like androidbiits copy and paste the same article for every device they list on their site and simple change the device model. If the Note 9 was rooted by Chainfire, it would definitely be on the xda front page.

I also saw that too, lol. I knew it was fake from the start.
Mods can close this thread. I'm done with it. Thanks fro all the useful information.
I will check the Note 9 page for any updates like was said before.
I just replaced the Google Pixel 2 xl with Note 9
So far, I like this phone.
I'd like to ask you guys, if it would be worth to root the phone and install a custom ROM / kernel
I can't see a percentage for the brightness, which is annoying, and the clock is on the left, I'd like to have it centered or on the right
With a good kernel, would it help to improve the battery life?
Thank you very much, in advance, any advices are welcome
With Samsung once you root and trip Knox you can't go back to stock - ever. And some apps will not work anymore. This is actually my first phone where I haven't seen any need for root anyway.
Take a look at good lock, with it you can customize allmost everything, incl. clock postition.

latest july build seems to have decent battery without the need to root.
also using samsung goodlock and its various components, you will be able to do a lot of stuff that were only possible on a rooted device. such as move clock position and much more UIwise.
for brightness % sorry never seen that.
so play around with all the goodlock addons 1st and see if its worthing staying on stock. as you know rooting will kill Spay...so
( i can never stay on stock since its much to fun to flash roms every now and then)
What exactly is good lock?
Where do can I find this app? @Bober, I always had a percentage on the brightness, on the Pixel 2 xl ( root / custom Rom)
There must be a way for this
Thank you, guys

goodlock can be found on the Samsung store.
there is also an alternative called nicelock in the guides forum.
basically goodlock in it self is nothing but a downloader/manager or various plugins. they are the ones that modd the system.
Thank you very much, bober

for what?
to install goodlock? if you dont see it in the samsung store then try:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-nicelock-goodlock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908648
sometimes apps are available by region. so using nicelock should bypass this.

This app is only an alternative to main Good Lock app for the regions that it is officially unavailable.
This app only acts as a launcher for modules.

you should be on may release. manually download it and flash it with Odin.
I'm in the same boat here and am quite surprised by it. I ALWAYS root my phone, first thing, asap. I specifically bought the exynos version of the N9 so I could root. But after playing with it I find myself wondering why I need root.
Ad blocking - kind of miss this but using Brave browser mostly fixes that.
Customization - GoodLock is AWESOME. Takes place of rom customizations and Tasker, which was a must have for me.
Call recording seems to work, which it didn't on my Pixel.
Get to keep Samsung pay, which is much better than Google pay. And secure folder is a lot better than the name suggests, since it provides doubles if apps allowing multiple active logins.
Someone convinced me why I need to root this phone??

to have fun with it and try new things. ( i get bored fast and quickly want more)
if you want to use the phone within the allowed parameters and not want anything more than you already have, than don't root. because the 1st thing happens when you root is that knox fuse gets tripped and apps relying on the device's security integrity will stop trusting it and fail to work. but apart from S pay you can get prety much all apps working one way or an other on a rooted phone just as a stock one would.( lately secure folder was found to work! thx dr
.ketan). people have turned to google pay instead of S pay.
but i do understand that its like: why break what's not broken?
some of us like the freedom and ability to do more. its not essential but since we own the device i guess our though process is what can we do to get even more out of this device.( price is not cheap so we need a reason to justify having bought it guess and have our money's worth ! lol )
but it is true. with good lock the visual aspect that was once one of the big reasons of rooting is now less and less of a reason. same goes with themes as well. nice alternatives to the stock themes and store bought ones like the wonderfull app: #hex ( xda made! search for it here and on playstore) allows you to theme. it has slimmed the gap even more between the need to root and not having to.
one aspect though that is important is being able to remove content and aslo add content like unsupported region carrier specific features eg:CSC , i put canadian CSC on my n960n.( somewill argue rhat if i had bought the canadian variant i would not need to do this. but the other reasons outlined in this message outweighs this.)
all in all im happy with my decision. and i have no trouble understanding that you or others are also quite happy with not having rooted.
what is good is that rooting has put pressure and have given samsung and other device companies examples and insight on what the community wants. by rooting and modding the device we show exactly what we need/want. and the result ( goodlock and other additions) that are aosp inspired has really made the device shine and be an attractive experiance to the general public and rooted user alike.

I've definitely rooted a bunch of phones. Every phone in my signature that could be rooted, and many friends phones etc. I've been a huge proponent of root. This phone just seems to not need it, at least not yet at this point. When sammy stops pushing updates in timely manner I will probably reconsider.
You are absolutely right that root, and the xda community in particular, has really pushed OEMs to make things better. Its great progress.
