Give me a minute, I'll upload it for you. I have my doubts about the functionality though

Here you go
The wear app which is used to connect to the watch and also a watch app (mini launcher as requested). You will have to extract the actual watch apk (it's in \assets).

Android TV controller on Android Wear watch

When playing with my new Nexus Player the remote control popped up on my moto 360.
It only showed up one time...i think it has to do with weather the remote app is running on the phone that the 360 is connected too.
I tried to add the nexus player as a bluetooth device on the 360 but its a no go.
Anyone else play with this yet?
No but I'm extremely intrigued ;o I'll mess with that tomorrow and report back lol.
As long as you have the remote app opened on the phone, while connected to the Android TV and still connected to your watch, it should display on your watch automatically. IIRC, it has to actually be opened and actively connected on the phone, for the watch to pick it up.
It also doesn't work at all. LOL... G Watch R, 5.01 updated. App has no function at all on the watch.

I just tested this and it will work if you have the Google made Android TV Remote app open on your phone when trying to use the Android TV Remote app on Android Wear.

So you need to have the phone on and app open.... to use your watch to control it? Sounds kinda... broken. lol

[Q] S Health

Does anyone know where I can get a S Health apk for my Galaxy Tab 4 8"?
I have a gear fit and want to monitor everything on my tablet but Samsung doesn't support the Tab 4 with this app for some stupid reason.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
I just made one that should install like a normal app try it and tell me if it works

Yeah its working

Excellent man. Thanks so much. The app installs flawlessly.
Now I just have to figure out why S Health doesn't recognize the Gear Fit watch. They make a watch for fitness but don't make it compatible with their fitness software. I love Samsung hardware, but their software guys are absolute morons.

Have you had any luck getting the Gear Fit sync'ed with S Health on your Tab 4? I have a Tab 4.7.0 and a Gear Fit & I am desperately wanting to get the two working together. Does the Gear Fit Manager version matter at all?
I couldn't agree with you more about Samsung hardware and software. Sloppy software integration for their otherwise solid hardware.
I'll try the apk on my Tab 4.7.0 and reply with results later.
Thanks..

Following up on installing S Health on my Galaxy Tab 4..7.0
The apk installed without any issue, but could not detect the Gear Fit. This version of S Health was pre Gear Fit (2.5.4.046) so I'm not sure it would be compatible with the Gear Fit to begin with. I'll try others.
On a side note, I can verify that versions 1.70 and 1.98 of the Gear Fit Manager successfully worked with the Galaxy Tab 4.7.0
I also was able to successfully install the Fitness with Gear app, but the app would not sync with the Gear Fit.
I'll keep on this. If anyone has any updates, please post.
Thanks
Gear Fit Working with Galaxy Tab 4.7.0!
Wonderful News to report!
I have successfully installed S Health on my Galaxy Tab 4.7.0 (not rooted) and it has successfully sync'ed with my Gear Fit! I did encounter a couple of crashes with the app, but so far, all seems to be working.
I'm very excited to finally see the S Health app running on my Tab and working with the Gear Fit.
I have some notes on the process I followed and apk files I installed. I will share here after I get some sleep. I hope this gives some hope to others who are looking to connect their Gear Fit to a non smartphone device.
Cheers!

I can never get enough sleep!!!
I don't have my notes with me, but if my memory is correct, I believe I installed the Gear with Fitness app from Aptoide on my Galaxy Tab. The Gear with Fitness app will not sync with the Gear Fit. From within the Gear with Fitness app, I selected the 'Check for updates' option which then ran and updated Gear with Fitness to S Health (version 3.5.1.0696).
I restarted the tablet and the Gear Fit. The Gear Fit paired with the Tablet right away. I then opened the S Health app, and selected the Gear Fit from the Accessories list. It auto-sync'ed with no problem.
It's important to note that the S Health app crashed when I updated my personal profile with my height, weight and gender settings. But the changes did save when I re-opened the app. It continues to sync, automatically and manually with no crashes since.
Perhaps, if the update process does not work for you, can can run the S Health install directly instead of upgrade from Fitness with Gear:

Here's the Fitness with Gear download also:

Let me know if you have success with it.

Galaxy A5 2016 no Miracast?

I search on google galaxy A5 support Screen Mirroring.
But i dont see on Galaxy A5 2016
Any one can help me plz.
I mailed to Samsung CC and got the following reply:
Dear Mr. Kumar,
You can try using ALLSHARE to connect you handset to TV.
To check that ALLSHARE is available in phone or not, kindly follow the below steps.
Go to setting>application manager>all>allshare.
If ALLSHARE is not available in phone download it from playstore.
Not Found
"Allshare FileShare Service" is the only thing I found in the app manager, but it doesn't seem to be the mirroring feature we are looking after. In the PlayStore there is no such thing as AllShare. Screen Mirroring still missing.

I don't own a A5 2016 but I think this feature is hidden by default. Download a miracast shortcut app (e.g. like this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattgmg.miracastwidget) and open it.
If it searching for a TV then should your device support screen mirroring.

can anybody with smart tv please test this:

Hi Philbo. I have been around the Net to grasp how the chromecast could work with the A5 2016 but it's still quite ambigious to me.
To my understanding, just some apps through the chrome cast menu can display on a TV screen. Is it same as screen mirroring that's missing from the device? Can we dispaly the whole screen in any activity or am I right assuming that just some apps do?
If you have useful links you think might help, please direct me! Thanks in advance.
According to Samsung official website, Screen Mirroring function is not supported on A5 2016. But it does mention that screen casting thru Chromecast is supported. http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/skp/faq/1096322
Can anyone feedback if it really works thru Chromecast?

You can use the "google home" app to stream your entire display over chromecast. Works pretty well

VR mode for non-VR compatible mobiles

I was wondering if this was possible. I just need to run an app on VR mode. That is my main requirement, to use PS4 remote play by twisted89 on VR mode to enjoy PS4 games on VR. So if a specific app cannot be turned into vr mode why not the whole device screen? Is that also not possible? I already found an app called Trinus VR, but it requires a PC, so I want this to work only with the mobile itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated

that i think is impossible. since trinus was made for pc mirroring. sorry
I think what his trying to say is and correct me if I'm wrong but, he wants an app that turns any other app into a split-view vr style outcome even if pseudo, which in turn he then wants to run (after activating the previous app that turns stuff into vr mode) the remote play app to play his ps4 games in pseudo vr mode.
I think if an app like this was developed it would need root access to allow cross app vr displayed split-view, as i think it will make the whole display split-view which in turn will make all apps "vr". Not sure if there will be stutter problems on the default launcher but that's easily overcomeable using a vr launcher i assume or just coding it to be disabled on popular launchers.
I know for a fact that the Lenovo K5 does this with stock rom, so... it's possible. Maybe you can buy one?

Exactly what I meant and you just read my mind man, I am trying to play PS4 in VR via the remote play. The best option I came up with so far was Trinus VR, but I want to do this by my phone alone with the remote play app by twisted89.
And yeah, yeah, what all this guy said was what I meant, I need an app to turn on entire mobile screen into VR mode or just the one app I need, thank-you guys :laugh:
Reply please

Search for the SBS apk
It is not possible to turn the screen into SBS mode (side by side). Only thing that exists is native SBS that works on versions 4.4.2 and bellow or some versions of Cm13 with Android 6.0.1.
It will not work on any stock Rom.
I have looked everywhere. Tried everything.
There are apps that can play vr videos and allow sbs web browsing on non vr/cardboard compatible phones.
For videos: VRTV VR is pretty good.
For web browsing: NoMone VR
For anything else, Trinus via pc would be the only option.
Install an emulator on your pc. Install Android on it. Then the apk you want. Mirror your pc to your Android phone. Use VR
A difficult issue, though. As far as I found, those are the basic requirements for playing VR stuff:
2GB + Ram
1080p to 2K Screen resolution
1.4GHz+ CPU speed
Gyroscope (in some cases - not)
At least 4.7 inch display
16M+ colors
Those are basic requirements to play some basic apps. In order to have better FPS performance you will need some more advanced hardware.
Also, if you are interested in VR software development - check my article about best VR/AR SDK which you will need to create apps.
P.S. Found this answer on Quora
Any change?
I used to have a Lenovo ph, and never realized how fortunate I was to have instant vr at the click of a button. For the whole system.! Now I am stuck trying to use cardboard crap app which does a tenth of what I want..
Even just streaming on a browser I'm finding difficult.
I want full screen split no movement. Or anything like a standard split screen on device.
Anyone had any luck?

[PORTING REQUEST] Fitbit app for Wear OS 3 watches (apk here)

Here's a thread with the Pixel watch APKs and build.prop - anyone want to look at the Fitbit related apps and see if they'll run on non Pixel watches? I'm picking up a Wear 3 watch soon to try, currently Skagen Gen 6 is still on WOS2, it won't even install them.
Sure it would be nice if someone could port this app. I 've heard that it has very good sleep tracking.
I've used bugjaeger to install the Fitbit APK from the dump on my galaxy watch 5. The app works. Unfortunately it won't let you sign into your Fitbit account. It says unsupported device when you try to sign in.
Thats the main problem. I dont thing it is usefull without login.

Agreed. Since I can already track my steps with Samsung health it's probably just draining my battery by having it installed. Someone that knows more than I do would have to figure out how to trick the app to think the device is a pixel watch. I'm not sure if editing build props is still a think but even if it is it would probably break more than it fixes to change it
Hope that google adds fitbit sleeptracking on google fit or release fitbit for all devises with full features. Then I will desamsung the watch 4..
I could try to decompile the apk and see if there's a list of supported devices, if it's that simple and not a cloud check then maybe we could do it
This would be great....any progress?
