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.

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...

Tip:

You can perform a screenshot on the Gear S by clicking the power button AND swiping from left to right

The image will be in the Gallery of the Gear S.

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. 

i mean can i still use whatsapp or wechat wehenever they appear on the gear app store ? oh wait i still need a samsung phone to access the gear app store rite like gear 2......?  i dont care about notifications i just hope i can use it to use some apps , send messages without connecting to samsung phone..

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.

but since samsung add a sim card for this gear s , it seems to be able to go fully independant...   and it has a full qwerty keyboard...
does it support 3g data usage?  battery life wont survive long i guess

Yes it supports 3G up to H+.

It will last you at least 4 hours if you make some calls with 3G on all the time. If you use it as a GPS, max would be 2.5 to 3hrs.

You have to think of it as a featurephone from 5 years ago. Same limitations apply, and it is only a 300mah battery compared to 1000+ mah of those Nokias. You still had to charge it daily and watch your battery all the time.

If you use it as a watch and notifications device, it will last 6-10 hours on 3G, maybe 18-36 hours on bluetooth, even more with Power Saving mode.

i dont mind charging it frequently... just wan to hv as much use out of it even though i dont hv samsung phone anymore... i used to hv a gear 2 but regretted that hugely.....

Can gps work without pairing phone with it?

yea better not then.... tizen is a good OS but app support is very bad for it because damn samsung limits only to their phones so why would app developers wanna build apps for a small minority gear S owners...

i keep switching phone brands but always stick to android and i think android wear is a very useless OS at the moment... its so limiting in what it can do.... 

Apple watch seems to be a fine middle ground between android wear and yet it has a speaker so you can talk using thee watch... But then again its only for apple product which i dont tend to go bck into....

RRP is RM1099

Why nightmare? mind to explain a lil bit?

Can all owners please just log yourselves in the owners' form in post 2?

Show some support

That one look nice but only have two colours.
Already log,  waiting permission for view.

Anyone successfully purchased it at 20% discount?

yea better not ... samsung wearables are always gonna be pointless unless you hv a samsung phone..
i read an article about them wanting to open up tizen to connect to other android phones after the launch of gear 2... Clearly that has not or will happen in the near future....

At the very least you have a choice albeit with reduced functionality. That other platform won't even give you a choice.

I don't see a point browsing on a 2" screen though, except in an emergency.

Today Face.

Anyone who already have both Note 4 & Gear S willing to give away the 20% discount codes FOC in Note 4 Galaxy Life Apps for me to purchase new Gear S or with a min fees?

I have 2 phones and only use one of it most of the time but still need to carry the second phone around. I plan to get this watch to replace my second phone this weekend after viewing the demo unit.

How to edit until like that ?

You use which app ?

I buy that watch face.

Oic. Very nice. Plain Plain.

Just wondering if there are any more users of Gear S ?

It's already been launched for sale since Monday.

The adoption speed is quite slow for Gear S.

Video on running the Gear S  STANDALONE with NO PHONE

That trick is neat. Easter egg maybe? 
I'd like to see what works and what don't if pair with non Samsung phone.

Hi, I got my Gear S since Mon.

The only complain is reply from gear is limited to certain apps only.

Wish it has torchlight, so that you don't need to pull out phone to shine something that drop in your car etc.

Where can I get screen protector for it?

where can i get gear s ?

Do you all use the gear s as a separate device like a 2nd phone or mainly pairing it with the Samsung phone? Am still considering it..hehe..

If you are on Maxis, or maybe Umobile, you could get a multisim plan and really leave your phone at home.

However the expectation of the Gear S that it is like a featurephone Nokia from about 5 years ago. Just that it's really cool to have one on your wrist.

The problem is i'm using Digi.. so am still considering the pros and cons.. thanks for the reply

I could suggest that you port out to Maxis and take the Surfmore 50 with a multisim.

2Gb data, calls and sms pay-as-you-go, but my usage of calls and sms is incredibly low so this suits me perfectly.

I'm currently quite happy with Digi..so doubt I will port out for the sake of the Gear S.. and i'm in the marketing line so call usage is quite on the high side as well..

If that's the case then the Maxis OnePlan should suit you, since it is unlimited calls to all services.

I'm not promoting Maxis though but for a device like the Gear S, multisim FTW.

Just found out that there have been phones in a watch form factor for a while

I have also seen a wrist sized basic phone from China about 1 year ago, but it was just that, a phone.

These are devices that do not integrate to any ecosystem and are purely standalone, much like any basic phone.

Devices like the Gear S and Android Wear are full blown computing platforms, and the plus on the Gear S is that is has a phone as well.
