I scored a refurbished unit at Best Buy during their $99 sale event and wanted to get it working with my Motorola Droid MAXX. Following your simple instructions of installing Stub.apk in system/apps first and then installing each individual APK before installing Manager worked great!!!

I can confirm that my everything (except weather&s-voice) works perfect on my gear and using Gear Manager!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I am on the latest firmware on the Gear and using v1.7.031004 Manager (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager). When installing Gear Manager, make sure to install prerequisites (GearManagerStub and all apps in "Extracted" folder) before installing Gear Manager. Reboot phone then connect Gear to phone.

Is Gear Manager stub required for 1.7? I think my 1.7 is working without it on my Nexus 5?

For some reason settings appears to be missing from my 1.7, I'm not sure if something went wrong or if it's just not there anymore.

What happens when you use 1.6xxx? It works fine for me. The only problem I had one time was it kept trying to restore but I got around that by deleting the restore directory from the root of my phone.

Hi,

Do we need to have SamsungApps installed for this Gear Manager to work?
On my Galaxy S2, GM closes on the first screen when I select my watch (already paired).

Thanks!

Version 2.0.14040401 of Gear Manager now being downloaded on my GS4 from the Samsung App store.

*Update* Once installed and run for the first time it downloads some 'Additional Software'. I also allowed it to install a backup of my settings from earlier today. Now shows as version 1.7.040401 under settings.

Seems like it is renamed to gear fit manager, because the install button say's "update".

That seems to update Gear Fit manager which isn't able to connect to my note 3. I still have the application" Gear manager" installed.

I have deleted everything and still fear fit manager isn't able to connect.

My gear manager just updated to 1.7.040401. It appears Fit Manager and Fitness for Gear are separate apps that now integrate with the new version of Gear Manager for use with Gear 2.

After updating the gear manager to 1.7.040401, notifications and messages apps are gone. The email app in app panel now shows notification count. I also noticed when I get a new email, there is a new pop up notification that I have never seen before.

    From v1.7 onwards, GM has 2 version numbers in the same apk as it includes the files to connect both original Gear and Gear 2. v2 is also used if running Tizen on original Gear

    Download
    You can download the installer (and secondary apks) here:
    https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager


    v2.2.15022599 includes all the apks that GearManger attempts to download. I'd suggest installing all of these before installing main GearManager apk. You'll notice there are 2 plugin apks. Gear Plugin is for newer devices (Gear 2/Neo), Gear1 Plugin for original Galaxy Gear

    Notable changes
    1.5.111304
    Expanded notifications
    Exchange Email blocked in US
    1.5.120601
    Exchange Email unblocked in US

    v1.5.121601
    Very buggy - suggest not installing

    v1.6.111801
    Leak. Support for ML1. Exchange email body blocked gm1.6 plus ml1

    v1.6.131003
    Leak. Support for NA3. Support for KitKat

    v1.7.031004
    Leak. From Galaxy S5 stock rom

    Other devices
    As of yet, it is not possible to get Gear working fully without a Samsung device running 4.3 TouchWiz rom
    To install on other devices, make sure you put GearMangerStub.apk in system/app. Then you can install GearManager and the secondary apps (music and weather won't install without dedicated samsung apps also on your device). You will not get notifications and it is very limited, but it connects
    Suspect the issue is related to tight integration with TouchWiz framework and Samsung apps

    Gear Manager latest version working w/ Lollipop CM12S OnePlus One (Gear 1)

    I finally made the Gear Manager (latest version) working with my non-touchwiz device, running Lollipop 5.0.1 CM12S (Oneplus One). Using my Gear 1 (with TizenMOD) I didn't realize that upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop will turn my Gear 1 into a Dumbwatch! I should have read through this forum earlier!

    Anyway, there is a way to make it run under CM12S again: everything works the same way as under KitKat, including notifications, Sync pictures & audio from the Gear to the phone, taking calls and installing 3rd party apps on the Gear. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any step-by-step guide, as it was more a trial and error way that eventually worked out. But I guess, you could give it a try !

    Basically, it's a installation of the latest Gear Manager 2.2.15022599 but using older versions from saproviders, goproviders and hostmanager APKs. You'll all find these versions in the 1st post from Brendo (mediafire).

    Here are the version that I have installed and running on my device:
    • Connection Manager 0.9.66
    • Gear Plugin 2.2.15022599
    • Gear software update 2.141213.2191
    • Gear Module 2.2.15022599
    • goproviders 2.0.434
    • HostManager 2.2.14100299
    • NSyncProvider 1.022
    • Samsung Accessory Service 2.15.97
    • Samsung Gear 2.2.15022599
    • SANotiProvider 1.0.9.45
    • saproviders 2.0.87
    • SASystemProviders 2.3.26
    • svoiceprovider 1.0.3
    • TextTemplateProvider 2.5.0

    The GearManagerStub.apk is not required.
    Quick Installation guide (please read in more detail here in this forum):
    1. Download 2.2.15022599 APK File from Brendo Mediafire
    2. Rename APK to ZIP file
    3. Open ZIP File in ES File Explorer, navigate to assets > GearModuleApk
    4. Install all APKs manually (not all will work, never mind)
    5. Older APKs might have a different tree structure (assets > preInstallApks // Gear2Apks
    6. Do a 2nd run with installing all APK again (especially when there are new access rights requested by app!)
    7. When all APKs from the ZIP file are installed, rename file back to ".apk"
    8. Install the main APK
    9. When searching for devices, tap the watch icon on the Gear about 30 times. you'll get a message "press BT within 3 sec.." Then immediately, try to connect the Gear Manager with the Gear
    10. Then, the Gear Manager wanted to install (a newer Host Manager). Do not click OK. Instead, I installed the older Host Manager (version see above) manually, then clicked Cancel/not install.
    11. After a few seconds, the licence agreement pops up - you're done

    I remember that I had big problems with the goprovider.apk and the saprovider.apk. They crashed every second (!), and I needed to deinstall them. Using an older version finally helped! Surprise, even the SMS reply with TextTemplates seems to work fine! The Weather app and the S-Voice is not working. Hope, this will work for you as well! Let me know, if something is unclear - Good Luck!

    I solved saprovider repeatedly (Force Close) by going into Titianium Backup on my phone and clearing it's data.

    Now to figure out when/why/how S-Voice No longer connects via watch to phone. I swear it worked before this update. :silly:

    I tried this and it did stop popping up but I couldn't get my watch to notify me when I got a message and it ended up coming back and wouldn't go away again

    I HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE.
    ppgrading to new firmware on watch. Restoring a stock ROM. Clearing cache, reboot ect. None of this worked.
    All I did was back up the last version of saproviders that worked.2.0.088

    I uninstalled 2.0.244(newest) saproviders and installed the older version of saprovider and it works flawlessly!

    I've uploaded the apk to my drop box.(hope this is allowed)

    Hope it helps everyone with this issue.

    do anybody know where the gear backups are saved on the phone ? I think it is causing some problem with mine to finish the pairing association ...
    It's a hidden folder on internal storage
    .BManager_backup
