How to install Galaxy Apps in non Samsung phones? - Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

I can't see all the watches faces from my phone when comparing with my mother's Samsung phone. Is there a way to workaround that? For instance, when I search for a watch face using my OnePlus I can see the same results as searching from a Samsung phone in the same region as mine.

To install Samsung apps on a non-Samsung phone you have to check the compatibility of the apps with your phone. To do this, just visit the play store type “Samsung apps” in the search bar. Google only shows apps that are compatible with your phone so if it is there, app will be installed and work.

Look for sideloads such as apkmirror...
Not sure if it would work on a non-samsung device...
For faces, there are many apps with watch faces, also, galaxy wearables app usually takes you to the right location to buy or install faces...

Tried download two different versions from ApkMirror, but they didn't work. I just want to buy some watches from the official Galaxy App Store, but I can't find them using my non Samsung phone. :/

Look up those faces on playstore... 90% of faces on galaxy app are on playstore if I'm not wrong, also, there are apps that give you many faces like watchmaker, watchmaster and facer...

(Request) Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 Watchon App

Hi guys. This is my first time to post in XDA and I hope this will be good.
So anyway, I just purchased a new tablet from Samsung which is the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 for several reasons such as the Watch on App but to my surprise, no watch on app preloaded in my device. I don't know the reason may be it isn't available in my country, Philippines. But when I purchased an S4 last year it was there and it was amazing.
Already tried several APKs available here in XDA but no luck. It wasn't optimized for my Tablet. So please help me guys. Can't also access it from goggles play coz it says it isn't available in my country.
Can I request the APK specifically for this Tablet. Please. ,
Are you rooted?

It is not available. I already did search. Maybe it is country specific.

I tried the program - doesn't work on Tab Pro 10.1. Installed, but not works. Perhaps the reason is the outdated version. I can offer another option - Peel Smart Remote (from my Note 10.1) - works well and with Tab Pro: Peel Smart Remote 3.3.4
EDIT: installs as usual apk
WatchON program is working in this thread - S Note, Watch ON, S5 Message,S5 FileManager, Calendar and more from S5, all the features work, but only portrait orientation
I pulled watchon from the stock 8.4 and dropped it in mediafire
http://www.mediafire.com/download/hd6u3y6wwa1g1w6/YosemiteTABxlarge_SO.apk
I'm pretty sure it needs to live in /system/apk and I did not see an odex with the same name, so it should be self-contained. If it does need to be in /system/app you'll have to root to get it there, of course.
I much prefer Color Tiger's Smart IR Remote app.
Yes, it's paid, but the range of devices it supports is breathtaking. In addition to TVs and set-top boxes, it supports my 20+ year old NAD integrated amp and the Western Digital TV Live Plus box I have in the house.
Samsung watchon is available in google play store for free. No problem selecting Philippines in the country selector screen. I have the T325 tablet.

Poll: How many people are using Galaxy Apps?

Samsung seeds many Galaxy Gifts through the Galaxy Apps Application. How many people are actually using this feature preloaded on their Samsung devices?

sent from my Samsung GALAXY Note® 4
I have looked through the gifts to see if anything interests me. I like the Kindle deal. I enjoy getting a free ebook once a month even if it's a small selection. I'm not complaining though, free is free. I'm already enjoying the device.
never used it until I got my gear 2 watch .... now I have several apps installed via galaxy store
I disabled it in the very first day together with other bloatware, but also had to re enable and use it to download the Gear Manager app... Just for that till now.
kindle deal and some other spen and montblanc stuff is awesome.
Im getting app updates for pre installed Samsung apps. Also i used it to some download additinal apps which were not pre installed, like those camera modes
There is some galaxy apps
I must have missed them before I debloated. ..
Skickat från min SM-N910F via Tapatalk
I've downloaded a few new camera modes as well as Hamcom Office from Samsung through their app store.
Used it for:
1. MontBlanc content download
2. Updating S note
3. Downloading optical reader app - converts images to editable text..not like the photo note. by that i mean perfectly editable text
ps: I see no further use of galaxy apps

Gear VR, anyone else get one?

My former employees gave me a galaxy vr as a going away gift on my last day. So far, I'd say this is the most fun accessory that I've gotten for my note 5. Even the free content is fantastic. I've installed package disabler to be able to run cardboard apps, but I want to know if anyone has found any fun items for this device.
there are plenty
Jurassic World, Social Alpha, Netflix to name a few. Did you just say you figured out a way to run cardboard apps on it? Please do tell!

max temp so far (on note 5) is about 106 degrees after 4 hours, thats not hot at all
I haven't ran into any overheating issues. Gets a little warm but that's it
Stumped
Tried to use the widget but GEAR VR SERVICES doesn't show up in the list. Anyone else have this problem and a solution? Gear Vr services is listed under APP manager though.

I used Package Disabler Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
I don't have root access and it works for me to disable Gear VR Service. I don't have the VR yet, so I can't test the rest.
Good luck.
I think there is a free version of the app too.
I had one of these for my note 4 and found it to kill the battery and make the phone so hot that it often shut down after 30 mins due to heat. Tried it on my note 5 but same issues. However it was more of a problem as no SD card slot, so found the games large enough to fill up my device quickly. Note 4 was a quick swap of the memory card.
The image wasn't clear either - as mentioned above each eye separately seemed ok but blurred a little together. It feels like the lens need an adjustment to suit width of eyes also.
I found the VR interesting but gimmicky. It seems like an afterthought. But as its early days I'd have expected the consumer edition to be improved over the innovator edition...but its just not. However it is half the price!
Next version will hopefully further improve this. I can totally see a market more these but as an early adopter I soon became bored with it (and had a few headaches too as a result of the blurring!).
Don't forget to install Herobound: First Steps (free). You'll really need a controller to get the most out of it, but its the first game I played that really felt immersive.
What controller do you guys recommend?

Thx for the reply,
I've looked there already these games are not on that list. Plus the site listed that the offer is for the playstore not galaxy app store.
Hit
Vainglory
Olympus Rising
Nonstop Knight

Per Samsung's website:
"The Galaxy Note7 also features Game Pack, available through Google Play, including top game titles, an easier redemption process and new user benefits."
I wonder where we can get them?

OK, I think I figured it out. the reason my download did not work because I download those games yesterday on the 19th, I uninstalled and reinstalled the promotion started today the 20th. Just uninstall and reinstall your Samsung freebies will be given out after you completed the tutorial the gift will show up. I got 2000 gems and a bunch of goodies for the game HIT, i love this game its awesome!
I still don't see a list specifically for note 7 in the Galaxy app store.

I just went to the google play store and downloaded Hit,Vainglory and Olympus Rising. Played them just past the in game tutorials and was notified in game i was awarded stuff from a Samsung promotion. I tried Need For Speed No Limits and haven't got anything unless i haven't played far enough or some how missed it.
Hope this helps somehow.

Same with me I got Hit, Olympus Rising, and Nonstop Knight working with freebies but not Vainglory, Need for Speed No Limits, or Asphalt 8: Airborne. I wonder if its because I played those games before and google just pulled up my old saved game and that caused the Samsung freebies not to work?

Note 9 Daydream on Gear VR

Hi, I just got the Note 9 alongside the gear vr and as much as I am enjoying the oculus experience there's a few things I would like to do that are only accessible through daydream.
I looked through a certain amount of videos and forums, but they seemed to be outdated as the methods enabling me to do it, aren't available anymore.(or there's one but it involves paying on playstore for an app that looks dubious for my view).
Does anyone know any way that I could enjoy daydream with the Gear VR?
Try the app 'Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR' from VKingMobi. You will find it in the Play Store.
