So I recently got a Gear S2 for Christmas, and I also have a Samsung S4 Mini Plus (i9195i) running Lineage OS 15.1 (8.1), but obviously, Samsung doesn't like their devices being rooted and flashed with custom ROMs. Whenever I try to install Samsung Gear Manager from the Play Store, or any of the components for it, they all say they are incompatible with my device. So I went and looked for a solution. I eventually found this:

I attempted to install it, and all worked until I paired it. As soon as I paired it, it displayed "Gear S Plugin has stopped working." I have also tried this method on Lineage OS 14.1, but with the same result. So I kept on digging, and also found this:

So I attempted this, and basically bricked the ROM I was using. So then I got a fresh Lineage 15.1, and now I'm here again, trying to find something to do to fix this. I have tried almost everything I can think of or find with no luck. Can anyone help me?
