Hello,
Any idea on how to develope own clock for Gear Fit (so it can be selected in gear fit manager) ?
There some apks on market provided this functionality, but I can't find any tutorials/docs on how to create one by self.
Any idea ? Thank you.
There is only one app. Just check my app list here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734334
We can't use classic development because Samsung didn't release libs for development. Actually, they deleted libs from the newest Samsung SDK.

Does it mean that there is no way to develop own clocks atm ? How does all listed apps were made ?
I didn't write that there is no solution. We can have custom clock, you can find them here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730633
The problem is that Samsung must publish source code (a.k.a SDK) for Gear Fit. Custom clocks from URL which I post above are from person who works for Samsung (this I only assume). More precisely, Samsung deleted SDK for Gear from the newest Samsung Mobile SDK.

Hi
Tried to install track id.apk i found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739929&page=2
on AOSP 2.1 007a
Butt getting forced closed when trying to launch it.
doing:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Select the TrackID app
Tap on "Clear data"
Tap on "Force stop"
dint work either...
Is it possible? or should i just give up
sorry for bad english.
I imagine like all other manufacturers like HTC , Samung , Motorola etc etc core apps which they designed for a specific user experience are all tied in together with there customised Android Framework, meaning to use such an app you would need all of sony ericssons proprietary files also which obviously defeats the object as you may aswell not bother with having an aosp 2.1 rom also with AOSP you will have no drivers for the X10 Specifically which will mean you will more than likely have errors using hardware unless you fish them out from an SE 2.1 rom
Also on a last note, now i have answered your question, in future remember to ask your questions in the correct forum : x10 Q&A forum
I think you need to install some or all SE APKs to make it work.

You're screenshot is about the permission it uses. Permissions are built in a system, not in an app. Nonetheless it still can depend on an app, but not in the way you mean.
Please post in the proper thread
It seems that this is the first time I start a new thread.
Hi, all. I want to know how to install two versions of one same application at the same time.
As a matter of fact, I want to install Opera Mini 4.2 China Version and Opera Mini 4.2 Internaional Version at the time. But...Since Opera Mini 5 makes it difficult to describe the question, here takes HelloWorld.apk as an example.
Well, there are two versions of the application "HelloWorld": 1.0 and 1.1. (This is just an example)
I have installed HelloWorld 1.0 on my phone, and when I try to install HelloWorld 1.1, the 1.0 version will be replaced. But...I want to have both of them installed on my phone. That is to say, there will be two "HelloWorld" icons in the app drawer.
I use APKTool to extract the com.hello.world.apk into some "text" files, including an AndroidManifest.xml and a lot of *.smali files. In the AndroidManifest.xml, I saw this:
<manifest package="com.hello.world" versionCode="100" versionName="1.0">
I chaged the value "com.hello.world" to "com.goodbye.world". Then I re-build the apk file and transferred it to my phone.
I installed the modified package, it was successfully installed and I see two "HelloWorld" icons in my app drawer!
I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.0, it succeeds.
I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.1, it FCs immediately.
Well, this is my situation. How can I make both of them launch-able in my phone? Is it possible? What should I modify apart from "package" filed in AndroidManifest.xml?
Thanks a lot.

Well I'm not an android programmer but if I'm understanding you correctly you did the following (in the order I'm listing them):
1) Installed helloworld 1.1 (which over-wrote v1.0)
2) Opened the APK for helloworld 1.0 and made the manifest change
3) Installed the modded helloworld 1.0 on your phone
From a programmer point of view (just not with Android), if you followed the above scenario what is happening is HW1.1 installs it's files which are updated versions of the previous one (why else install an update). When you modded the HW1.0 you only changed the name and nothing else.
What is happening is when you go to install the modded version it's overwriting the newer files with the older ones since the phone is assuming the modded app is an entirely new program and allows the process to occur. This is why the modded one works and the 1.1 won't since the files it needs are the wrong version.
The only option of really have is to mod the actual program to look for different filenames, but without the source code to that app, that isn't going to happen.
Basically you need to have version 1.1 use the default files, and with the modded 1.0 you need to tell the software to "look" for the updated filenames (just don't forget to rename the actual files too).
Short of all that, as far as I know your SOL.

Great thanks to your reply. But...
Android uses .apk files to install and run the application. When installing an apk file, the package installer just copys the apk file to /data/app directory and "register" the program in the system. The apk itself will not be "extracted" or anything else. That is to say, an apk file can be installed, and also can be run.
On the other hand, the apk will generate some files in /data/data directory when running. I am considering that it was these file that made the modded version FCs. I will try to look into these files to see will this works...
English is my second language, hoping that I did not made many grammar misktaks...
+1 on this topic. It's been a year and a half since the last reply and I've done a bit of searching online to find no answers. I anyone have some feedback on this? I'd ultimately like to use this to install two Google voice applications. I actually have an app from a blacked out version with a different icon. But if I install it it will overwrite the original Google voice app

I'd also like to know if that's possible. Even if it were possible, and an updated version of helloworld is relaeased (Say, HelloWorld v1.2), which version would it replace? Would it replace the (original) HelloWorld 1.1 or the (modded)HelloWorld 1.0?
Yes. Titanium backup. Profiles. These are the keywords.

It would replace the only legitimate version found, the unmodded one. The point of modding the APK is to make Android see it as a completely different app, and not think of one as an update to the other.

Hi
I would also like to do this for Google earth app I want to have both version 7.1.3 and 8.0.1 because the earlier version has more features but the latest looks more beautiful so I read the instructions from that link but it is way too complicated for a noob user like me plus judging from the last message it seems it hasn't been resolved so isn't there an app or xposed mod that does this automatically ?
Hi everybody,
here are my impressions and questions ( please answer me ) after reading forum threads and playing with my fit.
Its one day im using sgf and impressions are good, except for all the limitations and "walls" met with a non samsung dev.
First of all, my FIT firmware is R350XXU0BND8 and actually im using Fit Manager 1.49
Fit connects well with phone and everything is working except SHealth (is there a way to get rid of this?)
but i will play more with it ... not now cause "fitness" use is not my first need
Even the clock+weather layout doesn't work. I have found somewhere the "SweatherProvider" apk, but it wont install on my FIND5, why? is there a way to fix it?
I have edited build.props (like stated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949) and now all the "gear settings, gear phone and gear calendar" apps are working. They are running a little slow, but acceptable.
Is there any way to put the icon in an easier place? instead of scroll--> settings-->apps --> gearPhone app ?
First question: every Manager version works only with relative firmware, right? So if i want to use last mgr version (1.67) i have to put on FIT last firmware (R350XXU0BNE5) right? and this should work even with 1.70 ( found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789503)
Second question: Wich are all the apk's that i should install except manager? I mean do i need Fitness_with_gear, shealth_service, Shealth apk's?
Final and "stupid" question. With non samsung devices i have to always update firmware and manager versions manually, right?
sorry... missing phone info
My phone OppoFind 5 with OmniRom 4.4.2
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Gear fit 2 and i'm trying to install it on my OnePlus 2. From the information i've gathered it doesn't seem work with the latest OxygenOs + Android 6.0.1. Do any of you have any recommendations/ideas on what I should do to get it to work? Should i install another ROM, which do you recommend in that case?
Any tips are most welcome.
Thank you!
Did u installed all these apps from Play store?
Gear Fit2 Plugin (not "Gear Fit Plugin")
Samsung Gear
Samsung Accessory Service
All three are needed, and it should work.

Hi, Thank you for your response. I installed the Gear Fit2 Plugin separately, updated the Samsung Accessory Service and downloaded the apk for Samsung Gear (since it's not available on Play store for Oneplus 2). Now it seems to work. Previously when it was syncing it hang, but for some reason it works now. Thank you

Hi,
I downloaded the Samsung Gear apk from apkpure.com (i can't post URLS since my account is new)
I love the device so far. I'm still waiting for the spotify app to sync playlists to the gear.

Oops! I wasn't notified of your reply/question. I ended up downloading those individual apks through one of the sites where you paste in the Google Play link and it pulls the apk, then you sideload. I don't recall which site though.
Damn, sorry be kinda vague. I found that downloading directly from the Google Play store, I could not get the Gear Fit2 to pair and sync. However, when I downloaded the individual apk's, and installed via sideload, it worked. Bizarre stuff, I tell ya.
I've since moved on to a Garmin Vivoactive HR, and while it's a great device, it doesn't match the Gear Fit2 in how perfectly it worked once setup.
Hi! I installed the apks and downloaded the gear app on my OPT but now it doesn't detect the gearfit2 fitness band. Could you please help.
I've installed the apk and almost everything works but I can't download any apps or watchfaces.
When I try to download an app/watchface it keeps installing for several minutes and then stops withoit giving an error.
Can someone please help me?
It doesnt work for me.
I have a custom Rom on a Samsung Device.
I keep getting
"Notice

Well if I may try to assist, your problem is that since that app recognizes your device as a Samsung device (probably through the build.prop) it won't allow you to use gear until you go back to the stock firmware.
In theory you are not a non-Samsung device you are a modified Samsung device as the app clearly states.
Hope I helped.

I'd like to re-open this thread. I've followed everything specified in previous posts, however I'm still getting the message "The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Please check your operating system and try again."
Has anybody encountered this message and been able to get through it?
You must change all entrys in /system/build.prop like "Samsung" into e.g. "HTC".
In this case you can start the Samsung Gear app.
I had the same Problem, i can start the app but no Gear Fit 2 was found

Hey guys,
In general, pairing up Samsung Smartwatches with Samsung Smartphones running Stock Official Roms is easy and pretty much straight forward. You only need to install Samsung Gear App from playstore and follow the procedure given by the app, but if you're running (any) custom roms on your device the installation might be a little tricky.
so I'd like to share how I got my Samsung Gear S3 working with my Galaxy A5 (2015) running Resurrection Remix (6.0.1) rom, hopefully this guide could be any use for anyone having trouble setting up theirs.
1. you need to prepare/download 3 specific APKs : Samsung Gear app, Samsung Accessory Service and Gear S Plugin. if you can't download them from Playstore then look for them in unofficial -but trusted- sites like apkmirror.com
2. You need to edit some lines on build.prop, you can find this file on /system/build.prop and open them with your favourite root file explorer's text editor (i'm using MiXplorer)
find these lines
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and change them into
ro.product.brand=htc
ro.product.manufacturer=htc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can use other known brands but in my case i used htc.. after you're done editing, save it then reboot your phone
3. Install Samsung Gear app, Samsung Accessory Service and Gear S Plugin on your phone.
4. Run Samsung Gear app on your phone and follow instructions on your Phone's/Watch's screen
5. Done! if you do this right you can enjoy it less than 20 minutes
sources: buried Gear S2 threads in xda (forgot the exact thread, will post the link if i found it)
Nice thread, thanks.
