do you mind sharing with me that apk? the verision 1.25 ? I have 1.49 and cant connect
For those who are having trouble with updating the firmware on the gear fit and don't have access to a galaxy device the watch can be updated via Kies(3.0) on a PC.
Works fine on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0. I am stilling running the 1.49 APK. You just do all the same things as described at the start of this thread. Nothing different that I know of.
I do notice it sometimes says the Gear Manager has stopped running so I have to reboot my phone.
Pardon me for asking, i had not seen any posts before on lollipop and thus asked the question. Had i seen one i would not have asked.

I tried that. Gear fit crashes on start up. Tried all the versions. Any other tips?
Is this still working on your Nexus 5 with lollipop? I installed this just as shown in the video and I get "Unfortunately Gear Fit Manager has stopped" every time I try to open it, even after a reboot.
Any ideas anyone?
I made a detailed post in the Gear Fit forums about how I got it working on Lollipop: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58795737&postcount=175
I hope that helps you.
Alarms, syncing with SHealth and weather do not work.
wow this looks perfect, thanks! In the meantime I went out also bought a Gear S, any chance you also written a guide for getting that when working with a nexus 5 with lollipop? Or know of any such guide?
Hi,
all posts are pretty old, so I just want to ask, if there is some limitations when using gear fit with nexus 5? Will I be able to use all of it features?

It isn't 100% working and some of the features are broken or limited. Notifications and music control work. Some App Connect apps work. Some apps need to be modified to work. Some people complain of frequent bluetooth disconnects. The SHealth app will install, but refuses to sync with the Gear Fit. Endomondo can be used instead. Head over to the Gear Fit forums and, more specifically This Thread for more information. That particular thread has instructions and files to get it working with Lollipop. I am currently using it with 5.1.
Hi, I would like to know if the notifications still work with Lollipop 5.1.1
I've just followed the tutorial to flash the firmware and installed the no crack version of Gear Fit manager, and everything works just fine, exept the notifications app... which is the most important for me...
So could you please tell me if your gear fit works 100% well, if yes, could you tell me the firmware version of the gear fit you're using, and what version of gear fit manager you installed
thank you
By the way, you said that notifications works just fine, do you use Hangout? or Messenger? what is your sms app?
(sorry for my bad english... i'm french
)EDIT: I've found it by myself
I just needed to go to the phone parameters / sound and notifications / Access to notification / Check the Gear Fit
It was really that simple.

I'm glad that you got it working
I use hangouts and usually Textra for SMS. Also, remember the Gear Manager lets you enable notifications on a per-app basis, so if something isn't working try enabling it there.

8i made a video explaining how to use the Fit on the Nexus 5. this also may work with other phones im unsure.
mediafire.com/folder/05n572epblf4v/Gear_Fit_Nexus
youtu.be/Sk0vsx6k-cU
download those files
install GR.gearmanagerstub.apk
then install gear fit update 1.25.apk
open the app and pair the fit. it should connect. you can use it like this but the update ads a few features like screen rotation.
now you need to get a samsung phone that is compatible and update the fit to 1.49
now you uninstall GR.gearmanagerstub.apk and gear fit update 1.25.apk
now install gearfitmanager1.49update.apk and gearfitinstaller.apk and pair your device. everything should be working perfectly.
i am also claiming the first nexus 5 working with the gear fit
Edit: I just found a "lite" version of s-health that DOES work. Here's the link
App: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hbycvq5br1qbbly/com.sec.android.app.shealthlite-1.apk
Service: http://www.mediafire.com/?wr3t5fm5uwj8hr4
Apparently I can post links now too. Awesome1
Scratch that last part. I figured it out right after I posted that. All I did was go to the clock settings on my phone and toggled 24h mode on and off.
Edit: I updated the OP with how to use an "lite" version of shealth.1sync ok
i've installed Samsung_com.osp.app.signin_1.4.0370_140370.apk on my nexus 5 and all it's okeay i can now sync my health data with gear
