Connecting the Gear S to NON-SAMSUNG Phones


http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/gen...onnect-t2934307

QUOTE
Today someone told me via Google Plus how to install Gear Manager on non-Samsung mobiles. His name is Serge Berig. So 100% Credits go to him. I am just posting here what he posted in Google Plus. His Phone is Moto X and Mine in LG G2. Worked perfectly fine.

My Test Scenarios:
1. LG G2 D802 Rooted. Rooting is not required as his Moto X is unrooted.
2. I am using a separate SIM on Gear S.
3. I have disabled mobile data and Wifi on both Gear S and my mobile

How it Works:

1. Download Gear Manager Latest Version and GearManagerStub.apk from this link:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager
(Credit goes to the uploader)

2. Download these APK Files: 
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uemtAJSY...iew?usp=sharing
(Credit goes to Serge)

3. Move these files to your phone.

4. 1st install Gear Manager, then GearManagerstb.apk, then all remaining apks.

5. Open Gear Manager on your phone and viola. It connects, Resets your Gear S in case you used it before and as far as i checked everything Works


I did not test each and everything. As far as i know most thing works. Previously i had "Connecting Forever" Issue, now it connects straight away. I am using my Gear S as complete independent to Mobile Calls and SMS from my Mobile. I have not set any forwarding options or notification for Call and SMS from my mobile to Gear S.

Pls post your results

What's not Working:
1. Can't Transfer Music/Images from Phone
2.



USING THE GEAR WITH NO PHONE

ROOT

This XDA user managed to root his Gear S. However, I am not certain of the utility of rooting the Gear S.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/dev...ooting-t2938758


QUOTE
I was successful rooted Gear S for DoCoMo Japan version.
I think that it can be rooted in the same procedure in the other models .

1. Download firmware
2. Extract tar.md5
3. Mount rootfs.img in Linux
4. copy files (attached file - GearS_Rooted.tar)
cp su ${mountfolder}/bin/su
chmod 755 ${mountfolder}/bin/sh
cp vconf-init ${mountfolder}/etc/rc.d/init.d/vconf-init
chmod 755 ${mountfolder}/etc/rc.d/init.d/vconf-init
cp rc.local.service ${mountfolder}/etc/systemd/system
5 umount rootfs.img
6 tar -H ustar -c rootfs.img > rootfs.img.tar
7 md5sum rootfs.img.tar >> rootfs.img.tar
8 rename rootfs.img.tar.md5
9 Push Gear S Button while Reboot
10 select Download mode
11 write rootfs.img.tar.md5 with odin

Really interested where samsung is going with their wearables... Guess no point now in buying the gear 2 and samsung will be wise not to make gear 3 as there is no point , is like going backwards...

Still the major issue is only compatible with samsung phones... which is SAD as not everyone in the whole world uses only samsung in their life...

There are methods to pair with non-Samsung phones.

Will post in a couple of days.

Even if you don't pair it, treat it as a feature phone like one of the Nokias from about 5 years ago.

Congratulate on the thread. smile.gif

I like it so much, it is far better than first generation Gear except the stupid charger. As for the GPS inside dunno it is suppose working like that need data or it actually just software bugs, hope not the hardware bugs.

Some shot on the Gear S. I find it fashionable nice, not over big in actual. wink.gif

You still can use it even without a Samsung phone. Make it as a feature phone like what we have done for the past few weeks. smile.gif

Nice a thread for Gear S thumbup.gif

Due to my work environment, the writing at the back of gear S already faded. I applied idefense screen protector (cut it myself) saved a lot of times from scratches.

Right now there are no IM apps for Tizen. Its main purpose is to receive notifications, make/receive calls and sms.

I think Android Wear is also the same, only receiving notifications.
