Hey, Google has just released Fit application.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fitness
I have a rooted S5 and S health is not working because of that. Google fit doesnt count my steps from built in padometer, can anyone without root please check if it's doing so without root or not.
Any help in installing Shealth with root would be much appreciated.

How does your SHealt works fine, mine just FC on startup.
My S Health works perfect and my phone is rooted since I got it.

Are you using Wanum Xposed? If so, follow these directions and see if it fixes it:

mine is rooted with no problem in google fit and sheatht also using wanam xposed and gravity box.i'm using alexndr rom.
Both works fine here
I have Stock room rooted and Shealth works just fine
On mine both are perfectly working!
Works fine here, stock phone
Are the people with it working seeing the same step count in Google Fit and S Health? Both are counting up but S Health is showing over twice the number of steps as Google Fit for me.
dont know if google fit broke health our yesterday broke that, only fc
stock rom w/o root

same sensor, different results
I have a rooted Galaxy s5, and i installed Google fit app few days ago...
i tested it for a few days, along with shealt app... well, i can confirm that they're using the same sensor, but gives different results.
i walk about 30 minutes a day, couse i'm using my car a lot.... and shealt periodically say that i walk for 12 km a day..... reallly?
well.... google's fit app tell me that done less 5000 steps.... wich i think is far more accurate that Samsung's app. actually i don't know why of this big difference.
i know that you have just to scroll your phone a bit and magically it say that you have just done 20 steps or more.... but i don't use to do this
Google fit keeps my phone awake all the time. Removed after 1 day of use.

Before I start describing my problem - let me just state that I am 100% sure that everything is perfectly fine with my brand new Gear VR as it worked tonight flawlessly on my my wife's Note 4 - running the same 5.0.1 OS, as my Note 4 (T-mobile).
Problem is to get *MY* Note 4 working with the Gear VR.
While hers is working just fine - mine gets stuck on Health and Safety warning screen!
Just like with my wife's - when I connected my Note 4 to the Gear VR for the first time, with a nice blue and white (already working) VR/3D image it prompted me to take it off and install the appropriate software. I did and reconnected the Note to the gear VR and was awaiting the Welcome screen.
Sure enough - after the usual beep the screen came on:
a) - 1 small white spinning circle - IN THE DEAD CENTER - as it should be
b) - then the intro with the elliptical shape ferry dust animation that follows with instructions
to adjust the focus with the center ring on top.
Note: this image with focusing instructions is split to the left and right part of the screen with center being EMPTY !! I cannot turn around and look around in the room like I can if it works. The image is flat/still.
c) - then the HEALTH and SAFETY warning screen comes on.
Note: this warning image is also split with partial text thrown to the left and right part of the screen with center being EMPTY !!
More importantly - I do not see the small blue cross with which I should to aim with my head on the blue Oculus oval logo ("Look here to acknowledge" - in order to leave this screen and go to Oculus Home....and the "Look here to acknowledge" is placed to the very right of the screen, where I actually only see the word 'Look" I have to actually take the VR partially off , look deeper to the right to see "" here to acknowledge"
Both of our Note 4s run 5.0.1. We just got the VR today and installed Oculus software on both phones today. I am really puzzled why it works on her phone on not on my Note 4.
(to make things worse - her phone is getting sold and shipped in 2 days and now my Note 4 cannot get passed the "Health and safety warning" screen.
Please advise any help would be appreciated.
I also should mention that:
- a) I tried to uninstall the Oculus software, wiped cache partition, re-installed Oculus Software
- b) my phone is rooted, but it is running the stock ROM and our phones are identical as far as:
- identical Android version: 5.0.1
- identical baseband: N910TUVU1COD6
- identical Kernel 3.10.40-4739134
Tue April 21 11:47:32 KST 2015
- identical build number: LRX22C.N910TUVU1COD6
- identical 'SE for Android Status"
- identical "Security software version"
- identical Knox version
I would not think that rooting ist the problem as I have heard that many other users are running Gear VR
on rooted Note 4s and I also think that if rooting was the problem, then it would either run or not run at all.
The fact that it starts into the split image is puzzling me and I really do not want to do a full factory reset on my phone and re-install and activate all my apps. (I will if I have to, but hoping that there is a simple solution
to this before I go that route).
Thanks again in advance for your input.
I had this problem but it was due to the fact that I was using a custom rom/kernel, went back to stock and it's ok again.. don't know what could be causing you that problem...

Did you have the SAME problem where the Health and Safety warning image was
split to the left and right and middle of the image was empty?
I think I may have to reset the phone, install Oculus and run the VR and then I will try to
root again (using stock ROM).

Yes, the same exact problem. Solved going back to stock.
Thank you for the reply.
After you went stock and reinstalled Oculus and everything went well - did you try root again?
As much as I obviously want to run the Gear VR, I'd hate to lose the root. (With root, Greenify and other tweaks, my phone runs like a champ and battery is phenomenal)...I really need to hear from guys here that run rooted N4 and Gaar Vr and see what they did (the sequence of install / root etc.)

I'm rooted and that doesn't cause any trouble with the VR. I'm with the s6 though... can't talk for the N4. Now, I'm not so happy that I can't install custom roms or custom kernels and get the VR working, I've always been a custom kernel/rom kind of guy so this makes me sad.
Do you plan upgrading to 5.1.1 anytime soon? I haven't been to find the answer if the VR works flawlessly with 5.1.1.
Thank you for your reply, tyraelasd !
I hope to hear from someone that runs rooted Note 4 and GVR.
Here is my last 'Hail Mary Pass' attempt to solicit some more opinions before the weekend as I am not looking forward at all to the hours I will waste on wiping and resetting my phone :lol:
The same build number and same kernels between my wife's and my N4 still make me think that rooting should not be causing this, but it looks that unless some other fix comes up, I am going to have to do factory reset (un-root) and reinstall and reconfigure all the apps this weekend
Is anyone here running rooted Note 4 and Gear VR ?
If yes, what was your sequence of rooting, installing Oculus SW etc?
If you are rooted, what build, ROM and kernel are you running?
Thanks in advance!
Has anyone been able to install the GearVR and its software on a rooted Galaxy S6 and make it work?
Thanks.
Same.... Recieved The device today and its useless now... Bye bye 99 bucks
Working fine here on rooted 5.02
What carrier/firmware are you guys on?
Rooted ATT S6 Edge 5.0.2 here, want to know if I should drive 30 minutes to get one or not.
Thanks
Dutch
Always wanted to try it, but actually never did (
On S6 edge I have crisscross rom and unikernel. Gearvr working perfectly
What mine does do:
- Plug in Phone (s6)
- Gear VR says I need to take the phone and install the software
- Wizard starts
- Push first button on screen
- Downloads software (2 mb) in next screen
- Wizard crashes
My phone is not rooted but has a specific ROM from my provider.
Any tips?
I have problems that if I put in my S6 into Gear VR (recent edition) I first see colored lines everywhere and after that a blackscreen. XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.4 with flashed Gear VR support. After deleting dalvik cache it seems to work once, but after that I have to clear cache again.. I'll try it again when I'm home.
Edit: I found a way to workaround this problem (and blackscreen). Just plugin the phone, put on Gear VR and turn off the phone and on again while it is in Gear VR. Colors are a bit off thought, especially darker colors.

I have the same problems with colors. Dark colors look a bit green.
It worked perfectly at first, then I rooted the phone so I could add a ps4 controller, and now I get problems launching the oculus home as well as the color problems.
5.1.1?
Are any of you folks reporting rooted success using 5.1.1, specifically the OGA version?
I'm holding off ordering one until I find that works.
Any way to get the Apps actually without GearVR so I can "preload" some Games?

I had the same problem. I'm rooted with UniKernel v8. It worked the first times I used it, then I got home and got the green lines and then reboot. I found your post and tried your workaround and it works this way. I'm thinking of flashing a stock Kernel to check.
I managed to unroot using Smart Switch on my PC, it proposed an update and once completed I was unrooted and didn't lose my data
Good news is that Oculus Store now launches without problems, it looks like it switched the screen in high FPS mode, it's even smoother than before and darks are much better. The only drawback is that I can feel a little bit of flickering that is was not present previously. I'm very happy with it now!

Thanks for reporting your findings! Any chance to have the s6 rooted (in order to use the ps3 controller) while keeping VR still intact (i.e fully working)? Otherwise, the only other way to use a gamepad would be to sadly buy a compatible game controller. (spending even more to play VR games )

I think the tuning for VR may not be part of AOSP kernel, so the rooted kernel may be missing this part, but that's just a supposition. I order a Xiaomi gamepad so that I don't have to root to use a controller.
edit:
Check Arter07's Kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/arter97-kernel-galaxy-s6-t3171246/page380
It looks like it's working fine with GearVR.
Thanks for the information. It seems there are some reporting success and others not. Can you by any chance verify that Arter's kernel works ok? I understand if you don't prefer/have the time to test it.

S6 Edge on 5.1.1 rooted and tripped knox, Gear VR and everything I tried to put on it worked without any problem.
Ripped movies, 360 pictures, my 2D videos - everything worked and I'm extremly happy with it, couldn't belive it's so awesome...
For those of us that don't want to root....Post up your success (or failures) with using PDP!!
I personally haven't done anything with it yet but it was helpful with my S6 Active. Hoping for someone a bit more gutsy than myself to see what is ok to disable and what we shouldn't touch.

Used on my S6 Edge Plus, installed on my S7 Edge, hit 'disable bloatware' and so far no issues. Still way too early to tell if everything is functioning correctly. I'd rather disable all recommended bloat and then see what issues there are (if any) than go one by one.
Might have to give this a shot, I hate the amount of apps that Samsung, AT&T and to some extent Google have loaded by default on the phone.
I just hit the disable all bloatware button. It took out samsung pay and my weather clock. After enabling all of the appropriate apps, the work once again.
It might have been smarter for me to go through this thread first which is what I am doing now. It's for S6 but I'm going to guess that most of it will apply.

I can't get the app to work. It won't activate the license. It tells me to disconnect proxy and VPN connections which I didn't know I was using. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Do I need to give anymore information? I'm using an AT&T Galaxy S7.

Nevermind, I figured it out. It seems that AT&T uses a proxy on their cellular data. When I connected to WiFi the license activation worked fine.
I used it yesterday didn't get any extra sot with it and it seemed to make my screen go bonkers, it was extra overly sensitive so I took it off and my screen went back to normal, still sensitive but not nearly as bad
There is another app in Google Play,
If you have time, try to use this app "App Package Disabler (Samsung)" on Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
It work well
why use PDP? just use Debloater tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
I've actually had good luck disabling some services with this and freeing up RAM. Not sure how this works without root but it's nice to have. Still feel we need root for other things but this app worked for me.

I've been using Package Disabler Pro since I got my S7 Edge...
Battery life was terrible in the beginning and then I kept fine tuning and fine tuning and fine tuning until I eventually reached some good battery life but it wasn't consistent.
Then I tried the GearVR and it installed some more apps and battery life started to suffer again.
I wasn't sure what the issue was exactly so I kept fine tuning and adjusting. I read online that Package Disabler Pro can actually impact battery life if you disable too many apps.
So I went back and only disabled a minimal number of apps... Still battery life was back and forth... Some days okay but other days battery drain would be awful.
So just for fun, I uninstalled Package Disabler Pro and manually went through and disabled each Application/Permissions through the Application Manager one by one (System & User Apps).
Now my battery life is phenomenal!
Seriously, I am getting about a day and a half off one charge (almost two days) and a SoT of between 6-8 hours consistently <- obviously this depends on how heavy your usage is.
I just charged my phone today with 5 1/2 SoT @ 25% battery left and 1 day 12 hours since last charge.
Very excellent results... So if others out there are having issues, try uninstalling Package Disabler Pro and doing it manually. Sure it takes time but the results have been amazing for me.
Interesting - Package Disabler free is available on the store but not seeing the pro version, even though it was there last week. I wonder what's up with that?
It was pulled from the playstore, ez package disabler is still there and most think it works better.
I've used Package Disabler on every Samsung to disable the every app of AT&T Bloat. Although some **** still shows up in battery usage.
Hi,
I have been using EZ package disabler since I got my S7 Edge and I am happy with it. Unfortunately, when the software update came, with too much excitement, I forgot to enable all disabled apps prior to updating the firmware. I have updated the firmware with apps disabled. What problem should I be facing? What should I do? Currently I am not experiencing any problems but I suspect that the disabled apps where not optimized. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

RIght now, my apps edge appears that an update is available. But whenever I click the update, it won't update even if all apps are enabled. I am not sure if this was caused by the firmware update but this apps edge update just came up together with the firmware.

Thank you ! I debloated an S5 I was given using package disabler pro as my intention is to use it only for dash cam purposes , It has no SIM in it so I dunno if it will even get marshmallow update when it's available from AT&T, but if I do see an update available and am on wifi with it I'll re-enable everything.

Hi All,
Anyone here using this combination OP3T with Samsung Gear S3?
I'm having random freeze/hang with the Samsung Gear apps in my OOS Beta 4. The problems start before the upgrade and become worst after Beta 4.
Found out from dumpState-SAP Logs - DEVICE_ERROR (error code=0xa0000007).
After uninstalled the apps everything become normal back and my battery improved a lot.
Anyone know the fix for this issue?
Now using the Gear S3 as stand alone.
Hey, unfortunately I can't help you with your problem but I don't have any issues like that. I'm on 4.1.3 and everything runs smoothly.
