Hello guys,
So, i just bought a Samsung Gear S for my HTC One, and yes i know this is not 100% fully working, but i'll get a Samsung Alpha in few months.
Well, i followed your tutoriels and guides, and nothing went as planned.
The most embarassing thing is that i can't acces the Samsung Gear Store : is this a normal thing ? Or did i just mess up somewhere ?
Surprinsingly, S Voice function works 100%. I can't control my music tho. And the phone calls works very fine.
So, do you guys have any idea how i could fix this store issue ? Cause i would like to install something like Opera Mini or some other apps.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for my poor english
You need a Samsung phone that you can pair with the Gear s in order access the Samsung app store to install apps on the watch.
Best to find a friend with a compatible phone , pair it with theirs, then add whatever apps you want.
Or go to an electronics store that has compatible phones on display and pair your watch with one of them if you can.

I have an HTC M8 too and tried the workaround. This caused various issues and a few things didn't work post install of the Gear Mgr. I wanted something better and needed access to the gear store. And the last thing I wanted was be forced to buy and use a Samsung phone.
This isn't for everybody, but here's my fix...
I just bought a cheapo Samsung Gear S compatible phone off eBay and turned it into a notification relay point. You can get one for as little as ~$70:
Plug in it, connect to Wi-Fi, download Gear Mgr, clone the apps/email (from HTC) you want Notifs from, and set it up to remotely send the chosen app's notifications. For your HTC's texts, there are a handful of SMS forwarding apps on Play that work great. One app allows for you to reply with the native mobile # just as if it came from your HTC. Last step, set your watch to be standalone.
Everything works, including S-voice.
Thanks a lot guys ! A friend of mine has à Galaxy Note 2, i think it will be fine !
I'll keep you in touch if anyone wants to know what happened next !

Could you explain this a bit more, please?
I have someone who would love to get the Gear S but is a hard core iPhone user. I guess he could get a cheapo Galaxy phone, connect it to Wifi at home, but I don't understand the clone part, and how the cheapo gets the HTC notifications.
Guessing it may not work at all with an iPhone, but still interested in understanding the process.
Samsung could have really tapped that market by releasing a Gear Manager app on the Apple app store, and advertised a bit more.
No one knows what's on my wrist, but once explained, a lot of people would be potential customers if only the friggin Galaxy phone wasn't a prerequisite.

What you need to do is basically put the same apps on the relay device as your daily driver. Sign in to each app and then go to the Gear Mgr and make sure that app has a check mark.
As far as email. Use the stock Samsung email app and/or GMail . Enter all of your account info and, again, make sure the Gear Mgr is set.
So basically, all your doing is taking a dummy S compatible phone and creating a clone of your phone's app and email configuration.
Not sure if the iStore has an app that will forward your texts...but, hopefully, they should. If not, Google voice is another way to go.

Hello everyone
(Forgive my bad English, I do not speak and I translated with Google traslate)
I want to thank in advance all help and this great forum.
My problem with my Samsung Gear S is that for weeks I added new applications that got here from another forum and ran without problem, were about ten.
Then last week looking for an application I added a few more. Neither the first nor the second all added, had always complained that any certificate or something but for me were expendable and was not a problem.
But I discovered that this last time I've seen that have disappeared watch two applications, one of the Weather and over the alarm clock (in Spanish we call clock to wake up) and I need them.
I've tried different firmware and update reappear after these two applications but only a few minutes because when I look back no longer are.
I tried resetting to factory and all the applications that I added but not deleted appear the two I lost.
I have searched pro internet and asked in many places but no one answers or no one knows why wonder where you have deep knowledge if someone could tell me where I can find these two applications or recover or if someone tells me how to extract a room or me You can send, I will be very grateful.
My other problem is that you buy the watch legally but internet and did not know it was necessary to have a Samsung mobile so that it can use, my phone is Huawei Ascend P6 (U06) so I had to find the way to install your Gera Manager to initiate Gear S, I got it and I could synchronize almost everything but heat or can I use the market to Samsung, or I can download apps from google market for Samsung so neither synchronizes my S Healt but the biggest problem is that I can not access download these two aplicacioens in case they were (I do not know but I think not because I think they are based, said stock?).
I even consulting Samsung but was told there was no other way to use the clock to install applications that access having a Samsung mobile and installed the clock via mobile ... step commented that they refer also to take Healt S records of mobile to the computer and told me that they could not done through synchronization with the application in the mobile ...
Total I'm handcuffed, please help
Thank you

I encountered this problem too in last few days. There are three applications disappeared: weather, alarm, and e-mail. And I have no idea what happened. Maybe it's the setting of the firmware?

True, to put applications if I remember correctly you have to give it root and install another version of firmware, this has made many people per ocreo that many did not use those applications and therefore not hechan missing. Auna I updated latest version appeared three applications but only a few minutes, it seems as if other applications or the system itself remove them for something, see if someone helps us, while I put it and yours is the first participation thanks for teaching that does not happen only to me, Greetings
Sorry, I'm new to XDA so I wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this. Anyway, I picked up a Galaxy Gear (original) because I don't have 350 dollars for an Apple Watch or 175 for a Moto X. Anyway, after about 4 hours I finally got it updated to Tizen and then rooted it with TizenRom3.0 or something. Long story short, I need a rom that is compatible with Tizen that can get me full Bluetooth enabled Internet access. I looked into the null 13 stuff but that has been gone forever and I don't know of any other roms that support Tizen except for TizenMod. What I wanna be able to do is get texts, tweets, and Facebook notifications from my iPhone on my gear. The calls I already got down. I know I have to set up CloudSend or something on my iPhone for the notifications but I'd need a BT Internet enabled Tizen compatible gear rom first. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance!
Hi everone.
I got a Samsung Gear S from my girlfriend in christmas present and i would like to use Jefit ( cant link to play where it is, since im a new member) for my Gear S , insteed of useing my mobile evertime now, but dont find a way to do it, was hopeing rooting the phone would fix this and let me install or use what ever app i wanted like jailbreaking a Iphone.
But seems like i can only install what ever theme,ringtoon,font etc.. and nothing else, when searching or im i wrong?
Is there a way to use Jefit on my gear S watch somehow?
Thanks,
I apologize for making yet another thread about Gear Manager, but after countless weeks of searching, I have yet to find anything that works for me. Is it possible to use Gear Manager with this phone and watch combo? Is there anything I can do to have the watch do more than just receive my phone calls? I do not currently have the money to get a Galaxy phone, and I would like to be able to use this watch. I'll root the phone if I have to, or if there is an app that exists that can just push notifications to it, that would be great as well. Thanks in advance to anyone for any help with this.
There is a new app in the Google Play Store that runs the Gear Fit with any phone model even with android 6, with notification icons and everything.
It's called Gear Fit Pro.
hey Awesome work. I see that you got language change working. Do you think it would be possible to collaborate with my app Open Fit? you have freatures that are much requested such as language change, notification icons, and even wallpaper support. Please let me know if we can work something out. Thank! @RenderXor
gracias espero tu respuesta
Hi.
Is there any chance for english language on this app?
There is a new update with many updates.
Gear Fit Pro Lite
Gear Fit Pro
(I do not have permission to link to this forum yet)
@Miromerek - Now the default language is English. It was my fault.
@jareddlc - Your work is very good, in a way you were an inspiration for me to create this project. It also influenced that my girlfriend had a Gear Fit and was disgusted by not being able to use it with her cell phone. So I decided, and after much reverse engineering on the Samsum software, little by little and with a lot of work I was giving shape to this. It has been a lot of work and that is why I want to get some economic performance from it, at least to cover all the work that has cost me. However, I applaud your work and your decision to offer it in open source. I am still working on the functions and soon I hope to get support for spheres, s-healt and lastly compatibility with the applications already created for gear fit.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Is there option to display weather on gear fit or i'm missing something ? Anyway thanks for app, finally i was able to change language !
Is there any info about custom watch faces support? Like using those at the app store... ty

Get that to work and you'll get my money. For now I'll stick to openfit. Still that app looks promising though
@RenderXor would it be possible for you to make it compatible with 4.3? I have a BlackBerry Q5 and the android runtime only goes up to 4.3

Gear Fit Pro is awesome !!! I can't believe it -- everything that I use/need works!!! Calendar notifications come with item data, all text notifications show preview of message, even the "See on device" worked! Best of all -- alarms can be snoozed and dismissed from the Gear!!! And, the Health display is not bad at all - sync with Google is there... THIS IS AWESOME APP thank you - will purchase gladly!!!
