Hi Folks,

I have a rooted Tab S2 SM-T715Y and recently updated to Nougat. I am looking to get advice on build.prop changes that will allow me to install Gear Manager to allow my Gear S3 to connect to my Tablet.

Previously when running Marshmallow I had changed the build.prop ro.build.characteristics from "tablet" to "phone" and the ro.product.model from "SM-T715Y" to "SMN900P" however when I make these changes now and reboot the device just stays on the Samsung splash screen and will not boot. I have to re-flash Nougat update to get it to work.

The original ro.build.characteristics on Nougat is listed as "tablet,emulator" which seems odd.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

thanks
