I have been away from my gear watch for two months and I forgot how to do some of the basics I did before. I know how to use Odin to flash over the files for the new firmware for the gear watch itself. . But there is a Gear Manager update that has to be installed separately. The GR Manager update has been available for a week and it is posted in this forum. It has to be installed on the phone separately from ODIN. I simply forgot the process for installing the Gear Manager software. SInce I have a rooted phone I have done this before, but since I have been away from the watch for months I forgot.
Can someone remind me of the process for loading or installing the Gear Manager software onto the phone itself. I can't automatically do it thru the software itself because I have a rooted phone with Null custom rom

You mean you forgot how to use adb and sideload? Or you can use wondershare.
Here's the null rom tutorial using wondershare.

Bear with me. I do know well how to side load apps both with and without wondershare. I can use ADB quite well. I guess what I do not recall is if I have the APK for the GEAR MANAGER software that goes on the phone is that loaded by way of adb. I have gotten myself all turned around in that i know how to load ape's onto the watch itself using adb, but I do not recall if that is the same process for loading the apk for the Gear Manager onto the phone.
Perhaps I should attack this from this perspective. I have downloaded the latest GEAR MANAGER software from a thread on this forum. How do I get it onto my phone. I no longer use Wondershare as my trial ran out. But I know the adb process quite well. I just son't know if I install the apk to the watch or to the phone, and if to the phone where
Thanks so much

Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted software onto the watch, but you need it onto the phone! I think? If so, what kind of phone are we talking about here, and what android version is it running?

Thanks for your patience in trying to help me.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 and running the latest android, but not KitKat. Would You believe i have actually loaded Gear Manager software before But I simply forgot how I did it. I have to load the updates for Gear Manager manually because I am running a custom rom with Null 19. I just don't remember how I loaded the updates in the past

The update your checking is the firmware in gear manager for the gear. You need to go into the Samsung apps on your phone and update gear manager from there.
That's Samsung app and not play store lol. Good luck

Click the link below for gear manager application install/update. At the prompt choose to open with "Samsung apps" which should be previously installed.

I did as you directed and went into Samsung Apps on the phone and I did not see anywhere a vehicle to upgrade the gear manager. All I had was a bunch of watch faces
Or just download the apk

Hey guys,
I got the gear 2 neo as a gift yesterday, i have an HTC m8 and an iphone 5, i downloaded an application called samsung gear on the M8 (costs like 2.5$) but found out that there is no Samsung store in it (which should be obvious)
So i guess i must root the gear right?
I read that i must have the NE5 firmware, i can't know if i have this firmware or not.. my software version is R381XXU0ANCD , how can i know if it is the NE5 and how can i download the NE5 firmware if mine isn't it?
The rooting procedure isn't a problem to me.
After rooting, will I be able to install custom faces or load some faces i downloaded from the net easily? and how? since my mobile doesn't have the Samsung store so i can't install that trendie watches app or any other app ..
Any help please?
And can I benefit completely from the gear 2 neo if i pair it with my iphone 5?
Many thanks guys
Exact Thing here.
I do have the HTC One M7 and the Gear 2 Neo, trying to Install Apps to the watch..
Do I have to root the watch and the M7 to make apps (apks) work or only the watch?
Is there a possibility to install the Samsung Apps - Store and download apps to my HTC?
I experimented the whole Nights.. I managed to install the Gear Manager, Notifications do work but no Apps..
Thanks in Advance, i appreciate any Help!
you shuold be able to install apps....for the most part the gear apps are thru the samsung app store.
but being that its rooted you can install the apps thru a filemanager and then run it
I am able to install apps to my device. when I open them, it should create an icon on my watch.
Nothing happens except a massage on my phone "the app can not be installed".
Would rooting my watch solve that issue?
i told you that i don't have the store cz im not a samsung user...
can anyone help please??

we did. your not a samsung user. so your only option is to root your hand set. as well as the watch. rooting your hand set will allow you to install apps via the store. the store would have to be side loaded of course. which means installed by you off a sd card or downloaded file to your device(phone). the watch would need to be rooted to by pass samsungs app protection. to allow apps to be installed by a none samsung phone. then all you do is side load your apps. the watch rom i use is here. either way you need to root. hopefully your watch is still version NE5 as that has root. the new NL2 i believe currently is awaiting a generous dev to have a look.

Ok so I have a gear sm-v700, I have rooted it and updated it via Keis and is now on Tizen software version v700xxecfi and have run into may different things.
1) the Bluetooth sometimes has issues connecting the gear and my rooted note 3( has the stock s.w, just applied a root) I find that I have to reboot both devices in order to connect.
2) I downloaded the sprocket app and downloaded the developer key and can see to down the app on my gear.
What is the correct way to install apps to the gear that do not come directly from the Samsung app store?
Does it need to be done through the command prompt on your pc or can you do it via odin with the correct file downloaded?
My thought on this are and please correct me if I am wrong...
Odin is for flash the custom ROMS, you can side load the aps by getting the apk you want and then running a command via command prompt( I assume that is called side loading).
I rooted the gear with Impactor 0.9.14
What I am looking to do is get the Sprocket App on the Gear so I can get the navigation like google maps on the device.
I would like to shut off the camera sound, its not super important but it would be nice.
Also I want to install the analog keyboard(I have the zip), as well as getting the device to record as much video as I can..whoo hooo super spy watch!!
Some one on here recommended the Andy Camera...I already have that zip.
I know you tube is your friend but I haven't been able to locate what Im looking to do.
Anyone have any other suggestions on cool apps to have?
Hello.
I'd like to know if someone can confirm if the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lineup is still compatible with Gear VR after the One UI 3.0/Gear VR. I'm looking foward to buy a SM-R325 and I want to know if I can still use it with my Galaxy S10e G970F on Android 11 or if I have to downgrade to Android 10.
Sorry if I've posted in the wrong section.
It works! I´ve tested mine last night on UI3/Android11 with Vodafone Branding
Has anyone been able to get an usb external drive to work? I had an external SSD that alerts that the drive is connected, but doesn't show up in Oculus, apps like Pigasis, Skybox, or Oculus Video... just the main phone and SD card folder systems. It worked for sure before the update. Looked at the permissions, and storage is allowed.
I have s10+ SM-G975F. Im on android 11, stock rom with magisk and twrp. And Gear VR works! I tried to get Gear VR working on other ROMs, but it's simply impossible. The problem is getting the Gear VR service app installed as a system app.
These are the files you need.

Thank you for this app share. I am trying to see if I can get my S21+ to work as I hate to lose this functionality. Lost alot of little things so far making the jump from my Note 8.
Out of curiosity did anyone get a network error message when trying to start the initialisation process?

So should i just flash that zip with TWRP?
Hello, how to install with Magisk ? please, thank you.
Hi,
Some months ago, Gear VR worked nicely in S10e Android 11 OneUI 3.1 (if you update your android beyond this, Gear VR is disabled (not supported). Even in S7 Android 8.0 SE 9.0 worked. But last update to Oculus system by Facebook/Meta has logged out the account and I can't log even though I've updated my oculus account to new Meta System, following the steps dictated by Meta.
Hello guys,
I have an old Samsung Galaxy Alpha G850F with 5.0.2 version of Android.
I have been able to root it using Odin, then I installed TWRP by the official App giving SU permissions, and I installed the AAMirror APK too.
Buuuuut... Android Auto isn't installing couse of the old Android version (...I think).
So I tried downloading an older Android Auto APK, but it always responds "Application not installed".
So what should I do?
Should I install a custom ROM with 6+ Android? Is it possible?
Is there any way to install Android Auto correctly on the 5.0.2?
Or... can i use AA Mirror without using Android Auto?
I'm feeling lost right now, ty for help.
Buy new phone that supports, solved.
