First of all i want to thanks to all the fellows from XDA forum and especially to @kingakuma , @Akram and @Brendo users , you have my respect for making this possible , we really appreciate your effort and help !!!
Just one probably mandatory and most important detail: Please install it if possible naked OS or at least with minimum installed apps , i have disabled even Google services except
Play and Google+ which can't go off easily , all the rest were disabled ,
no additional apps were installed , no other devices were ever
connected before DELETE all previous connected BT devices nothing should use BT connection neither app or device , it must be bare-bone structure when you check in
Services ... then it works as described on all devices i own.
IF YOU SKIP A STEP OR CHANGE THE ORDER IT WONT WORK , PLEASE FOLLOW IT EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED !!!
So back to the topic.
Second of all :P , It's Confirmed , the solution works on all versions from 5.0.1 up to 6.0 , tested models so far HTC One M8 , Motorola RAZR XT910 , LG G3 , LG G Flex 2
ROOT is not required , you can use your Stock OS without SU or Root or anything which can harm or violate your warranty (how cool is that :)
For your convenience and for making your life easier find the proper files attached HERE - the right version is Gear S 2.2.15022599.7z
Extract the files from Gear S 2.2.15022599.7z to your PC/MAC , and transfer all to your SD card, or inside the main storage , just be sure you keep all the folders as it is , and create and paste them in folder like GEARS or any convenient name for you inside your device
Step 1: Installed Gear 2.2.15022599 (First)
Step 2: Install Everything in Extracted Folder
Step 3: Install Everything in the Downloaded Folder
4th, Open Samsung Gear and Pair your Device
Keep in mind it will reset your Gear S watch back to null , it will wipe out all your data so back up before doing it .
Once the Gear has been reset you will get
an Error Host Manager Has forced Close.
Some models wont show error for Host Manager as described on 4th step ,
the result is just connecting status till forever , there is no need to
wait 25min to realize it 30 sec is enough time , then you can close all
apps , go to app manager force stop and uninstall the host manager ,
reinstall as described with the provided one.
Step 5: (not mandatory) Disable Bluetooth (this can stops the force closing if you experience such , if not there is no reason to disable it) , for some models there is no need to disable data , no need to disable Bluetooth or any specific service except the Host one.
Step 6: (Mandatory) Uninstall Host Manager
Step 7: Install Host Manager 2.2.14102499 (Inside the Install After you get Host Manager Force close Folder)
Step 8: (not mandatory) Enable Bluetooth
Step9: Open Samsung Gear (it could ask you to update your watch firmware , you can do it and it will reconnect after that just fine if connected at first)
Now it should pass to the Next Screen for the Privacy Notice and so on, and BANG Voila you are done now you can setup your Device.
Svoice only works with Samsung Devices
Music transfer and image Transfer does not work , but you can easily copy files via USB cable as you did before :)
Confirmed about:
Phone Calls Work, Text Messages Work, Application Notifications Work,
Changing Clocks from App works (But you cannot download new from Samsung
App market) , Here App Works, Nike + Works, Contacts Work,
Weather Only works and shows on Samsung Devices with Touchwiz (after the
little firmware update Weather option will disappear completely from
your device anyway)
S Health app from Samsung and available via Play works just fine too. All sensors and stats are syncing just fine.
Side loading your .wgt works just fine as before so no need to worry about resetting your precious collection.
Again many thanks to all XDA developers and guys for the effort and painless solution. We appreciate your work !!!
Saproviders keeps popping up. I rebooted the phone but still keeps popping up? I did a factory data reset. Nothing else on the phone. LG V10
