Hi,
Today someone told me via Google Plus how to install Gear Manager on non-Samsung mobiles. His name is Serge Berig. So 100% Credits go to him. I am just posting here what he posted in Google Plus. His Phone is Moto X and Mine in LG G2. Worked perfectly fine.
My Test Scenarios:
1. LG G2 D802 Rooted. Rooting is not required as his Moto X is unrooted.
2. I am using a separate SIM on Gear S.
3. I have disabled mobile data and Wifi on both Gear S and my mobile
How it Works:
1. Download Gear Manager Latest Version and GearManagerStub.apk from this link: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager (Credit goes to the uploader)
2. Download these APK Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uemtAJSY3PVDFiY0FsVGRLN28/view?usp=sharing (Credit goes to Serge)
3. Move these files to your phone.
4. 1st install Gear Manager, then GearManagerstb.apk, then all remaining apks.
5. Open Gear Manager on your phone and viola. It connects, Resets your Gear S in case you used it before and as far as i checked everything Works
I did not test each and everything. As far as i know most thing works. Previously i had "Connecting Forever" Issue, now it connects straight away. I am using my Gear S as complete independent to Mobile Calls and SMS from my Mobile. I have not set any forwarding options or notification for Call and SMS from my mobile to Gear S.
Pls post your results
What's not Working:
1. Can't Transfer Music/Images from Phone
2.
I was just coming here to post this.
I can confirm this works on my stock G3.
Works:
Calls work, but i had to switch to the phone then back to bluetooth. Initially there was no audio. However that may have been a glitch, because it works after that without flipping back.
Notifications (you have to allow Gear Manager access to the notifications in Android System Menu)
Home Screen Styler
Find My Gear
Contacts pull down to Gear
Not Working:
Music player seems to be controlled through Gear Manager and not A2DP. So we may have to install Samsung Music player. Still investigating.
Transferring files to the Gear through Gear Manager crashes goproviders.apk. This also broke my notifications. Had to reboot the phone to get it back working.
Call Logs dont pull down
Weather app is missing
Receiving SMS in the watch SMS app. You get the notifications just fine, but the GEAR SMS app can't sync your conversations

I would imagine there is a newer goprovider.apk. The one he posted is 2.0.337.337. Thats the older one from the Gear 1/2 Gear Manager.
All the Samsung Gear S apps are version 2.2 and up. I was experimenting with the old Gear Manager and got similar crashes.
Just thought I'd chime in and let you know that I have the same version on my Note 4 with the Gear S. 2.0.337
Thanks for checking on that. It's got to be a missing lib or some TouchWiz framework.
It's not even a feature I care about, but i'm sure it will be needed later.
I'm still trying to find a fix for the music player controls.

You are right. I wonder what happened to it. When I skipped the activation, the weather app was there... Now that I got Gear manager to sync, it's gone.

Did you install the Stub Manager and all the 8 or so other APK's?
If you skipped the initial activation screen, make sure bluetooth is on, on the Gear S.
Also, try unpairing in the phone bluetooth menu then reopen Samsung Gear manager.

yes i installed the latest gear manager app as well as stub manager apk and other apks provided
this is my first time setting this watch up. my devices pair up but when i go to paired devices in the gear manager and try to connect, on my phone it says "connecting to gear" and the gear just has the "to connect to your mobile device, select the name of this gear in the samsung gear application" message
*EDIT*
got it working . i uninstalled everything that dealt with the gear under app manager in my phone and unpaired the device under bluetooth and re-installed everything again. it re-paired itself and it is working now.
I must have missed an APK somewhere
Glad to hear you got it working. Try some of things I listed as not working and see if you have different results. The more info we have, the better!
Music and images not worming here as well.
if I disconnect from Bluetooth my calls don't get forwarded to my watch. Can't send out text messages as well
Yeah I just want to chime in saying this isn't a fully working solution, but it works enough to keep me satisfied for now.
I'm sure as we get more people wearing these, more will jump on board to fix the issues we have.

Someone posted a video where the guy got a day one update for the gear. Also call forwarding options on the gear application itself is missing.

I just got what I believe is my second firmware update to ANJ7. (Not a Gear Manager update)
After 2 days I can say with conviction that the Gear S is a worthy investment for the money.
A little research and I've got it all set up to my needs.
- Getting Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, & text messages, all with the ability to reply
- Getting my Google Now alerts (traffic, weather, etc)
- Streaming Milk Music as standalone
- Opera Mini browser enables me to check/reply/send Gmail, browse/interact with Facebook, Google Search, etc
- Enabled continuous swipe input in the stock keyboard in settings
- Changed my voice-wake to "OK Google"
- Battery easily lasts me almost 2 days entire day with moderate use
I can't think of a single thing that I am disappointed about. And that's saying a lot as I had high expectations.
If you're on the edge of buying this, I say go all in. Speaking of which, I'm on the Edge as well. T-Mobile
I just got mine today and so far I'm loving it. I only wish you had a manual to show me how to set mine up like that especially replying to Facebook messages.

I'm using Gear Notification Extender (Play Store, have to purchase but worth it) Plus install Android Wear but don't set it up. Open it then back out. Set everything up in Gear Notification Extender, and disable the regular S Gear notifications from the Gear Manager app unless you want duplicate notifications. If you need help let me know

My question is...IF the app shows in Gear manager and in Extender, why is extender needed if GM says it will notify?

After testing today I answered my last question. You, sir, just kept me from returning the watch. With this app I no longer need to touch my phone. I can do everything directly from the watch, by way of responding. I have had my phone on silent all day and managing all things via watch.

Glad I could help. That's what we're all on XDA for!
I think the GS is the most amazing piece of personal tech I have ever come across (IT technician by profession).
I used to carry two phones, one personal and one work, which was a pain. Now I carry a Note 4 as my personal and the GS as my work phone. I run the GS in remote connect mode during the week so it acts as a stand alone number, then on weekends I run it in Bluetooth mode as a companion to my Note (I don't take work calls on the w/e). My exchange account syncs mail, contacts, appointments, etc across all my devices. Emailing, appointments, adding contacts, etc I do on my Note which syncs with the GS. Business calls/msgs I take on the GS and private calls/msgs on the Note.
This solves all my problems and works fantastically.
The GS is incredibly versatile and that may be it's biggest fault - too complex for the average user. Just read many of the posts on here and it is clear that people have no idea about it's features and functionality.
I feel same as you guys. I enjoy my phone everyday. Makes life easier for me. Only issue I am having is that if I get a text message and I go to reply the keyboard won't pop up. I have to go and close all apps thrn go back into messaging app then it works. Any ideas?

I'm having some issue getting what looks like a duplicate for email alerts.
GNE Notifications in Gear Manager = ON
Email Notifications in GNE = ON
Email Notifications in Gear Manager = OFF
I get the email alert 1x with the reply arrows, then again with an "open on Android" at the bottom. Not sure where I'm failing the process. Very excited to get this sussed, this may keep the Gear S in my hands, was getting pretty discouraged!
Thanks for the help.

Congrats to the Gear S and the S6 Edge. May your battery last a long time!
I found Opera in the Samsung app store, that I accessed through Gear Manager. From within Gear Mgr, once connected to your Gear S, you can install all the gear apps you want (not that there are that many). Hope this helps.

Is it possible they took it out of the store in the last couple days?

I just checked and you are right: Samsung seem to have removed the app, and I can't even find the other browser I saw in there.
It used to be one of the very first apps popping up in the store.
I'm sure we can share the Opera file with you, I just have no clue how it's done.
Damn--looks like I missed it by a matter of DAYS...
Well, at least I know I'm not crazy now. Thanks guys!
Does anyone know a way of manual installing the app into the watch?
Hi, I've just purchased Amazfit Pace and upgraded to rom 1.3.3a. It seems that only incoming calls notifications work, together with move reminder.... SMS and whatsapp messages arriving on my phone (a Honor 8 Pro) are not notified. I've already tried unpairing and pairing again with the phone, factory reset and uninstalling and reinstalling the amazfit watch app on the phone but nothing changed. Obviously messages and whatsapp are not in the app blacklist. Anyone can help me?

Thanks for the suggestion. Since I'm new, is it necessary to flash another rom or is it sufficient to enable the app list and install the app on the watch and on the phone? Did you follow some guide in particular I can follow?
No, you just install one apk to the watch (use apk installer for pc) and one to your phone (i can t give you link right now but you can search the forum)

That page refers to Honor 8, while I have Honor 8 pro which slightly differs. The most similar setting I've found is the choice of app to close when screen is locked, in the battery manager which is directly in the settings menu. However both Amazfit watch and whatsapp are already prevented from being closed when screen is locked...
I hope someone can help, I have installed watch droid on both watch and phone, however when I try to run watch droid, it detects my watch and then informs me that I have and update. +++ then a big green tick appears.
When the watch tries to update I get a message . "your watch has blocked the update for security purposes" then the connection drops out.
Then i only get an option to press agree, if I press disagree or the 'X' I get "install failed" message and the loop starts again.
I was really hoping for Watch Droid phone to work as it seemed like the most useful app for the Amazfit so far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks internet people.
you need to install manually the apk, or use this installer:

Nope, if you wan't 3rd party devices to work correctly with you smartphone you should have bought an Android phone. If you want a smartwatch that works correctly with an iPhone your options are the apple watch, the apple watch or the apple watch.
KW88 smartwatch
If there is an option to make calls and respond to text messages on the KW88 then which app needs to be downloaded? WII watch does not offer those options. KW88 connects to both android and OIS.

If your watch's companion app on iOS doesn't do what you need, then there is not much you can do. Watch Droid works only with Android (you can infer that from its name). It should work with KW88, but you'd better try to get some help from the watch's specific forum or some Watch Droid forum (I don't know if there is one for it here on XDA). Good luck.
Works perfectly with a DM2018 (except it increases battery consumption quite a lot if you stay connected 24/24): it is the only one I found that keep the BT connection stable (the recommended FunDo in its standard version just didn't accept my phone number -that of the SIM card- as a valid one. The pro version did but did not maintain a stable BT connection. If you install from apk you must first authorize installation from 3rd party sources. I tested BT Connection and a few others: same instability.

Hello. I have some problems with watch droid. With incoming calls, I have a standard call on my watch, not a watchdroid call. How to disable the standard display of a call. In the Amazphite application, I disabled the push notifications. I forbade the Amazite to work in the background and stopped it and now the call goes through the watchdroid, but as soon as I start the amazfit all over again, and I need to go to the settings of the phone to stop it again. Each time there is no desire to do this. Can everything be made easier? And immediately the second question: how do I respond to incoming calls using watchdroid? Now only 3 buttons: without sound, reject, paper airplane (printed answer).
Thank you.
quick question...can i have both amazfit app and watch droid connected? It seems i can only have one or the other
Hi,
Has someone been abled to use a wear os smartwatch with the phone?
I tried to pair an oppo smartwatch (wear os 2) and the wear os app stays blocked on the launch screen, so I'm unable to pair it.
I also tried with a samsung watch 4 (wear os 3) and the galaxy wearable app launches but when trying to pair, I receive an error mesage saying the watch is not compatible with the phone...
So, for now, no smartwatch for me working with the phone.
If someone has been able to make things work, let me know.
Have a nice day.

Garmin Fenix 6 works a treat so assume the rest of Garmin is ok
Samsung Watch 4 Classic - There is a workaround that i found (can't remember where!) where you install Wear OS first and pair the watch through that then install Samsung Wear etc. (do some googleling ) --- However i still had issues with disconnects and notifications so not perfect
Same kind of answer, Garmin forerunner 945 is working smoothly here.
Galaxy Watch works flawlessly with notifications
I had the same issue with a LG Watch R: downloading Wear OS from the "normal" Playstore, when opening Wear OS I've got a stuck white screen. But I managed to fix it:
- Download Wear OS from OPPO App store (let's call it Chinese Wear OS) and install it but don't run it.
- Download Wear OS from Playstore (let's call it Internation Wear OS) and install it and run it.
After this, I was able to start Wear OS and pair my phone with my watch.
Don't forget to allow both Wear OS (chinese and international) to run on background and pin the international version only.
Never open the "Chinese" Wear OS; it will unpair your watch and you will need to uninstall everything and start all over again.
Also, allow all notifications.
Thanks for your answers.
Well, I'm not going to buy a new watch...
For the Samsung watch, as I'm not able to launch and use the wear os app, I guess the trick will not work.
For now, I've switched to a Fitbit which seems to work.

You just have to reintialize the watch and pair it with galaxy wear and the galaxy wear module for notification. You can restore via samsung cloud via internet and the watch is ok. I have The first galaxy Watch with 4G. I am on tizen and i see your problem is wear os related isn't it?

Heya,
A question for people here, I have an Oppo Watch connected to my Oppo Find N - I managed to get it working using the chinese version of WearOS along with the normal version.
Everything is working fine but my Google Pay on the watch constantly crashes or is in a setup loop on the watch, anyone else have this problem? If so any workaround to fix it? (FYI Google Pay working fine on the Find N)
Thanks, it worked
My Amazfit gts 2 is also working fine.
With Huawei and Harmony OS nö Problems too.
Found a solution for anyone that is using Samsung's Galaxy 4 Wear OS watches. You have to install the following apps from Playstore less No.4:
1. Samsung Gear (Samsung wearable)
2. Samsung Watch4 plugin
3. Samsung Health (SHealth)
4. Chinese version Wear OS (From appmarket)
Once the above are installed. Reset or reinitialize your watch, wait for the "Welcome" intro to start. Open up SHealth app -> click on 3 dot on the top right -> settings -> accessories -> Select Galaxy Watch4 or Watch4 Classic to pair up. Follow the setup accordingly. It's optional to sign in to SHealth for your watch btw. Everything will work flawlessly after that.
After you're done with the setup, close all apps via recent and you can launch Samsung Gear as per normal. If you're experiencing intermittent disconnectivity, launch Samsung Gear and lock the app in recents. Do not kill the app. I have not experienced any battery drain from it so far.
DO NOT uninstall the chinese version of the Wear OS under any circumstances. It will disconnect your watch and you won't be able to pair it back. Which means you have to unpair via SHealth, reset your watch and go through the entire setup again.
Hope this helps someone.

Found a solution for anyone that is using Samsung's Galaxy 4 Wear OS watches. You have to install the following apps from Playstore less No.4:
1. Samsung Gear (Samsung wearable)
2. Samsung Watch4 plugin
3. Samsung Health (SHealth)
4. Chinese version Wear OS (From appmarket)
Once the above are installed. Reset or reinitialize your watch, wait for the "Welcome" intro to start. Open up SHealth app -> click on 3 dot on the top right -> settings -> accessories -> Select Galaxy Watch4 or Watch4 Classic to pair up. Follow the setup accordingly.

Thank you so much for this, works a treat.

Only downside is I cant get Google Pay to add a payment card.

Question can you use Samsung Pay on Galaxy Watch 4 with Oppo Find N? - Trying to find a wearOS watch which can make NFC payments which can connect to the Oppo Find N.

I had the same issue with a LG Watch R: downloading Wear OS from the "normal" Playstore, when opening Wear OS I've got a stuck white screen. But I managed to fix it:
- Download Wear OS from OPPO App store (let's call it Chinese Wear OS) and install it but don't run it.
- Download Wear OS from Playstore (let's call it Internation Wear OS) and install it and run it.
After this, I was able to start Wear OS and pair my phone with my watch.
Don't forget to allow both Wear OS (chinese and international) to run on background and pin the international version only.
Never open the "Chinese" Wear OS; it will unpair your watch and you will need to uninstall everything and start all over again.
Also, allow all notifications.

With this method I get into the app exactly once. After that I can only get to this screen.

You could try to pair the smartwatch using the chinese version of wear os. It will tell you to download the international version or open it directly (if already installed) - worked for me.
