[Fix] Gear Fix on N9

Gear Fix for Note 9

As we know recently custom ROM breaking Gear connection and I have fixed it very early with first release of my ROM
Recently my colleague @geiti94 seek help for this and I have share my apks to help him
As fair share policy of XDA rules, now it can be used by others as well with proper credits So sharing here my apks which you can use on any N9 ROM. (May be on non TW as well, but not tested)

Requirement

- If you have already Paired then first unpair it from BT settings

- Must uninstall Gear App if you have already Installed (Settings - Apps - Look for Gear wearable, Gear Plugin and Samsung Accessory services and uninstall all). If Gear Wearable Installed as System App then find it and Delete from system first)

- Sign hack mod must included in ROM

Installation :

Download all three apks from below link and Install as regular apk. (it should meets all requirement as said above)

PS : At presently all apks are latest. If any updates available you can update and if that breaks connection, let me know, I may update packages if requires (Provided samsung haven't patched it again )

Uninstall all the app you have installed related to gear
Open bluetooth settings - select setting symbol beside gear - Unpair
Install my patched apks - connect device and it should work
If still issue you can reset gear and clean install ROM, more that this nothing I can fix if something missing on your ROM.

1.If you already have one installed then first uninstall it
2.Your ROM must have sign hacked mod included.

Hi Doc
If i put these Apps into the preload folder they should be installed correct while flashing right ?

After installing apps (said in op) when you open gear wearable, it will throw error if sign hack not applied in rom

If some one have the skills... An flashable. ZIP version. would be nice.

 

[kellox]

i can not install any of these apps ?

 

[TheUndertaker21]

this works but has its downside but it doesn't matter.

You don't need this on my rom. Simply clean install rom and try connecting with gear. It will Auto install required package from store.
