Themes / Apps / Mods SPayToGPay: Remap Samsung Pay long-press shortcut to Google Pay on watches in regions shipping without Samsung Pay

[blunden]

There are regions where Samsung Pay isn't supported, and the app is therefore not preinstalled on the watch. As a result, those users are unable to use apps such as GW4Remap to remap the bottom button long-press shortcut to anything else. In order to help that group of users, I made a simple app that remaps the shortcut to Google Pay.

The app works by simply being a fake Samsung Pay app that launches Google Pay whenever it's invoked by the system through the use of the long-press shortcut. Since trying to install the app on a watch where the real Samsung Pay has been preinstalled will result in a signature mismatch, this only works on watches from regions where Samsung Pay isn't preinstalled.

A helper app to remap the Samsung Pay button shortcut on the GW4 to Google Pay on watches shipping without Samsung Pay - blunden/SPayToGPay

NOTE: Requires rebooting the watch after installing the app.

EDIT: Version 1.1 works with Google Wallet.

EDIT 2: Version 1.2 hides it from the recent apps menu. No other changes.

EDIT 3: Version 1.3 adds support for Wear OS 4.0 (One UI 5). Make sure to read the updated instructions on the release page.

I sideload it with bugjaeger but it doesn't show up on my watch at all.

 

[niff2005]

So I went through the installed packages using bugjaeger and I saw that samsung pay did install but long pressing the button doesn't do anything

 

[niff2005]

sorry mate have to let you know I tried everything but it doesnt seem to work

When you say that Samsung Pay shows as installed, can you be more exact? Do you mean the package name or an app with that name?

Can you show me a logcat? The person on reddit testing it for me said that it worked for him but I don't know the exact details.

yeah the package name, not an app. Also, I'm the same person over on reddit so it's pointless to have 2 conversations using both reddit and xda, I'll keep you updated on reddit

It appears that restarting the watch after installing the app is required.

You got it working now, right?

Working really well for me, installed it and it does the job.

yep! thx for your work. btw I have noticed it only works when you're on the main watchfacew so If you're in an app and then long press it, it won't work. Wish I'd known that before I went to the store the other day, would've saved me from an embarrasing interaction

Great!

Yeah, that's how it always worked. Having it work within apps would prevent apps that listen for key presses from working properly.

works great! but you NEED to restart the watch.

Sent you a test build on Reddit.

See the updated first post for a link to the updated app.

It doesn't hurt to launch Google Wallet once, although not sure if that's actually required or not.

It's up to OS to decide when and where the shortcut works. This app just pretends to be Samsung Pay and launches Google Wallet when started.
