[Root] Temporary fix for Samsung Gear Devices (And probably other Samsung weareables)

This guide is a temporary fix for the connection problems with Samsung Wearables in Pie custom Rom ports from Note FE
Requirements:
Galaxy Wearable: Last version from Play Store is working
Samsung Gear S Plugin (Can you try with the apk for your device but it is important that the application version ends in "N". For example, the version of Gear S Plugin that worked for me is 2.2.03.19032541N). Versions ending in "N" as seen versions are used for phones that are not and do not have Samsung TouchWiz, Samsung experience or One UI Download here
Samsung Accessory service: Download here
AFWall+: Download here
Instructions:
Unistall Galaxy Wear apps (Galaxy Wearable, plugin, accessory service, SASystemProviders, etc).
Unlink device from bluetooth settings
Install the mentioned apps
Open Galaxy Wearable app, configure and link your device (If the device don't link and at stuck in "Finishing pairing", make a factory reset from settings in the watch and try again).
Once linked and configured, run the AFWall + app and configure how it is in the attached screenshot
Enjoy!

I've been trying to do this for a couple of hours but without success. What I noticed was that the Galaxy wearable is always updating the Gear Plug-in and that is probably the reason why the pairing fails. And if I block the internet access to the Galaxy wearable app while initiating the pairing then it refuses to pair... It's a vicious circle... Do you have any ideas how to circumvent this obstacle?

The plugin update always runs after linking with the phone or at least in my case with the Gear S2

So why bother installing the application version ending in N if the Galaxy wearable overwrites it and installs the latest one and only then does the phone start the pairing - at least in my case... Or am I missing something?

For that it is blocked in AFWall +, with this it would not have a way to update itself directly

So,the right steps are first run AF+ to block the wearable app and after that I should start the wearable app..is that correct?
My device is the galaxy s7 edge (exynos)

The problem is that I can't finish the set-up/connection process... Bluetooth loses connection with the watch in the last step of the set-up.

Has anyone been successful connecting to a Galaxy Watch 46mm using this method?

Yes, I get it. But in my case, as I stated earlier, it updated itself even before it started pairing - and it happens every time. You just can't block internet access while connecting to the watch becasue it refuses to pair. And if you grant access to the internet then it updates itself...

Guys has anyone tried and succesfully paired Samsung Galaxy Watch? AFAIK the problem is with only the newer Watched (Active and Watch). So Gear S3 an others may work with this workaround but the newer ones dont.

For me it's worked on LightRom v8.
Things that i've done:
1. Install apps from:

3. Pair watch
4. In AFWall+ block Gear Wearable app.
5. Put back the original build.prop
6. Reboot phone
7. In Samsung Wearable app don't update plugin!

Ok, after 2 days without problem this morning i have rebooted my phone with watch connected and after reboot i opened gear manager and boooom notification of update is here :crying: , I repeated everything in the guide and I pair the watch, after that i found a little issue due to the timing of the reboot and afwall+ start, in this couple of second gear s plugin check internet before afwall start and the problem is half here again, half because gear can connect to phone but gear manager become unusable without the update of gear s plugin
A temporary fix is to disable in gear manager, gear plugin and Samsung accessory service background data and background usage and close everytime gear manager before a reboot, I try this three times and seems ok

Ok, I don't have the problem but I use the blackdiamond NFE rom and it works fine

I'm using BlackDiamond NFE V3 with Gear S3 Frontier and works great but with a procedure a little different mentioned by OP.
This is the way that worked for me:
1. Clear data from Galaxy Wearable and uninstall Galaxy Wear apps (Gear S plugin, accessory service, SASystemProviders, etc).
2. Unpair device from bluetooth settings.
3. Install the apps provided by OP.
4. Open AFWall+ (IMPORTANT: Second icon at the top corner -> "Block selected") and check the 3 boxes like the screenshot from OP. Apply and activate the firewall.
5. Open Galaxy Wearable app and follow the configuration.

General Official List of Sideloaded Apps and Workarounds For Wear OS (Tested on Galaxy Watch)

SIDELOAD LIBRARY
COMPATIBLE WITH WEAR OS 3
TESTED ON GALAXY WATCHES
All Smart Watches Can Probably Benefit From This Guide
Special thanks to everyone who has contributed to testing and providing feedback on various apps and versions. Thanks to you guys, this library remains up to date. I recommend disabling most permissions associated with these apps including notifications to prevent excess battery drain. Please post to this thread or PM me if you find any discrepancies. Enjoy! ​Google Assistant GO v2.8 (ApkMirror)
Official Google Assistant for Wear OS 3 now available!
Google GO v1.7 (ApkMirror): Lightweight Google browser that can perform quick Google searches or display quick search result answers (such as weather or definitions). Tapping a link will launch in default browser app due to watches not having WebView support. Need to lower DPI temporarily after installing to get past initial language selection screen (see below for instructions on how to do this).
Google Chrome for GW4 (XDA)(Google Drive): This version of Chrome is listed in the XDA Google Assistant for GW4 Mega-Thread. It works well Sideloaded but I'm not sure if it's just an older version or also modded to not crash on GW4.
Samsung browser is also a good option for default browser. In case you need it, here it is from ApkMirror: Samsung Internet Browser (Wear OS)
Messenger Lite v25 (ApkMirror): Very convenient app to have if you use Messenger often. This app gives you full Messenger functionality for your wrist. Period. Stick to low versions due to clutter in later versions makes it impossible to tap on chat bar to write a message. If you also use Messenger on phone, to avoid getting notifications from both apps, disable Messenger Lite notifications.
If you have issues getting past 2FA, try to login on watch and then go to your Facebook notifications on phone to approve unrecognized device. Next time you try to log in on watch it should skip the 2FA.
Facebook Messenger (Wear OS) (ApkMirror): Official Wear OS implementation for Messenger. This is not an application that can be launched directly. It functions as a bridge between watch and phone so when you receive a message, pressing the "open app" button on the watch side notification will launch a convenient conversation window designed for round screens to message back and forth. This only works with Messenger installed on phone when it syncs notifications with watch. Does not work with Messenger Lite.
Facebook Lite v39 (ApkMirror): Easy to use Facebook scrolling from your watch screen. Dark mode and quality options available in settings. For better visibility, in the Facebook Lite settings menu, set the font size option to small. This app also includes it's own Messenger interface built into it that can be used for sending and reading messages.
If you have issues getting past 2FA, try to login on watch and then go to your Facebook notifications on phone to approve unrecognized device. Next time you try to log in on watch it should skip the 2FA.
YouTube Go v1.22.54 (ApkMirror):
YouTube Go has been discontinued by Google. Applications no longer work.
Google News v5.7 (ApkMirror): This is the best News option available to Smart Watches and It looks good on small round screens. You can set dark mode and data saver by launching settings (upper right corner) and while in the settings menu (not before or you won't be able to access the settings menu), lower the DPI to 200 (see below on how to do this). You'll then be available to see and access all available settings. Reset your DPI when you're done prior to exiting settings menu to avoid UI jank.
Update 12/18/2022 - Due to previous uploaded version now requiring update to use, v5.7 is now the ONLY VERSION left that doesn't crash or force mandatory update to use.
Google Translator (Google Drive): This is the old Translator app that used to come installed on Google Wear OS watches.
Google Phone (Wear OS) (Google Drive)(ApkMirror): Google's own phone app used on other Wear OS watches isn't available to Galaxy Watches on the Play Store due to Samsung wanting us to use Samsung Phone I'd imagine. However, the app can be sideloaded and works perfectly. If you use Google Phone app on your phone then I suggest sideloading the app on your watch as well and setting it as your default phone app.
Due to the Pixel Watch version of Google Phone lacking functionality on Galaxy Watches, I linked the older Google Phone app. Does all the same things with a different UI. If you're interested in the Pixel Watch version of Google Phone, you can find it in the link below.
PIXEL WATCH VERSION - Phone By Google (Wear OS) (Buggy on Galaxy Watches)
Google Home v2.7.21.2 (ApkMirror): After extensive testing with various versions of the APK, I can confirm v2.7 is the best version currently for Galaxy Watches.
Official Google Home app now available on Wear OS Play Store as a pre-install.
UPDATE 12/11/2022: Currently, still only a preview version is out which doesn't include much functionality other than launching directly to phone. Not ready to write the workaround off yet.
Google Files (ApkMirror): Excellent file manager for your watch that includes an app manager, automatic junk removal, and cache cleaning. You will have to lower your DPI to dismiss the initial dialog upon installing the app.
Google Calendar (ApkMirror): There are plenty of calendar apps available for Wear OS that include syncing with Google Calendar. However, if you want the real deal, it does work on Galaxy Watches with any of the recent versions. It crashes a few times when you first launch it, but then it seems to work fine once it's cached making it not the most stable option. However, all features are functional and it doesn't look too bad either. Dark mode available in settings manually.
Wear Mail (Watch) (Phone): Standalone or companion email client designed for Wear OS that's available on the mobile Play Store but not Wear OS Play Store. Excellent functionality and UI that is pretty much the only email client for Wear OS that supports direct Gmail account linking and access. It does all basic email functions including composing, reading, archiving, deleting, syncing, and sending of emails in standalone or companion mode directly from watch. Must upgrade to premium version for full functionality. Reported that application doesn't work at all in free mode anymore. If you upgrade to premium and find it doesn't work, you can request an instant refund through the pay.google website.
2/20/2023: Confirmed application still functions normally despite last update in 2021.
Other Semi-Functional Wear Apps
Google Cloud Access Disabled
Wear Messages
Wear Photos
Wear Videos
Wear Calendar
Wear Documents​Spotify MOL (Google Drive): A modded Spotify Lite version. I've tried several modded Spotify apps and this is the best one I've found. It can play anything from your Spotify premium account directly from your watch as a standalone. You don't need your mobile device at all.
Here's a link I found on XDA of a Spotify version modded and adapted specifically for Wear OS. Have not tried: Click Here
GW4 Remap (Github): Button remapping for Galaxy Watches using Logcat. It can Remap both hardware keys to launch any application you want. There's a short delay between pressing and launching however. See link below for guide on using this. Despite the name, it does work on Galaxy Watch 5. Older version will launch over Samsung Pay instead of using logcat for button press which is instant but requires Samsung Pay remain installed and enabled. For watches without Samsung Pay pre-installed, see below for alternative option.
INSTALL GUIDE
Source: XDA / Github
SPayToGPay (XDA / Github): If you live in a region that doesn't have Samsung Pay, use this version to launch Google Pay using hardware key long press.
​Discord v89.11 (ApkMirror): Not the best UI for round screens due to Discord's side swiping layout. However, works pretty good and just requires a little patience.
NOTE: If you run into captcha or other login issues, check out the workaround HERE. To summarize, while your watch and phone are connected, log into Discord on the web to trigger captcha using phone. After verifying with phone, you should be able to log into Discord on watch without triggering a captcha verification.
Instagram Lite v200+ (ApkMirror): Old versions crash. It doesn't look the greatest but it's fully functional. The problem is that the bottom status bar covers 20-25% of the display with blank white space for some absurd reason. Unless you use Instagram often there's no reason to bother with this.
Any Custom Font Guide: We can use zFont 3 to install custom fonts. The Samsung Cloud procedure isn't required since there are no font restrictions on watch. Here's the steps to set a custom font on your watch:
Download and install zFont 3 on phone HERE.
Import your font file into zFont using their custom font wizard. Google Fonts is a giant open source option for custom fonts that can be downloaded in TTF or OTF format. Google Sans is not available in Google Fonts but a simple Google Search will locate it easily. I recommend Product Sans as an alternative.
You'll need to install SamsungSans from Galaxy store. Most steps in application can be ignored since watches don't have the font restrictions that phones do and therefore don't require Samsung Cloud workaround. Start at the step that has you uninstall SamsungSans followed by installing CustomFontName(zFont 3).apk, STOP THERE. You're done with zFont.
Once you have the custom font installed on phone, use a third party application or ADB command (GUIDE) to extract the .apk file to device storage. Once extracted, sideload it directly to your watch through any method you prefer. GeminiMan (see below) can extract the APK and sideload directly to watch and is the best method.
Once sideloaded, from your watch go to Settings > Display > Font > CustomFontName. Done.
Sideload Ready Fonts
Google Sans Regular - DOWNLOAD
Google Sans Bold - DOWNLOAD
Product Sans Black - DOWNLOAD
The Google Sans fonts are under the name CircleRounded so you can only have bold or regular installed at 1 time. Product Sans is under the name SamsungSans.

Below are a few applications designed specifically to streamline the ADB process for Wear OS so that even beginner's or non-tech savvy people can make use of sideloading applications, uninstalling bloatware, and sending commands to watch
• GeminiMan Wear OS Manager (Play Store): This is an extremely useful app by @Dante63. It's essentially an app that simplifies any ADB related function for your smart watch. It allows you to sideload or debloat apps by selecting from the list of installed apps or apk's directly. Also includes an interface for sending custom commands to watch with an option to save commands for quick access. I was able to debloat and sideload everything I wanted on a freshly installed Galaxy Watch 5 within 10 minutes thanks to this app. PM @Dante63 directly with questions, feedback, or suggestions. You can accomplish any ADB related operation to Wear OS using this app. It smartly includes a reinstall option if you debloat something you shouldn't have.
• Wear Installer 2 (Play Store): This is the easiest app available for sideloading apps to Wear OS. It dumbs it down to the point where you never have to enter a command since it doesn't have a manual command input. Also includes ability to modify the screen density so that you can get past the initial setup in some sideloaded apps. In my experience, this is the best and most stable app available when it comes to just sideloading.
• Bugjaeger (Play Store): This app is an all inclusive ADB app designed for Android devices. This is my go-to option for ADB operations on my phone. However, it can pair to Galaxy Watch 5 using the Wireless Debugging option with a six digit pairing code and port number. This application isn't easy to use like the first two options but includes more advanced operations. Free and premium version available in Play Store.
​ADB COMMANDS

Uninstall App
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>
Reinstall Debloated System Apps

APK Version Selection
The best place to download various unmodified versions of any application is ApkMirror. Some APK versions have multiple variants available. Only architecture (Arch) "armeabi-v7a" is compatible with Galaxy Watches. If it's listed as "Universal" then the manifest includes support for all architectures but uses up more storage to compensate. The more modern "armabi-v8a" is not compatible with Galaxy Watches and will crash if you try to launch it. Older versions typically look and run better on smart watches due to less cluttering and memory usage. With smart watches, less is more.

Good afternoon, I don't have anything to add but would be very interested to learn more.
I have Assistant Go 2.12.x I think installed but it seems earlier is better? Also is there a phone based ADB for changing DPI to remove blue banner?
Also a link to learn more about messenger lite?
FYI: Using Easy File Tools to sideload the assistant APK
Really appreciate it!

I have found an app and removed the banner (FYI there is a 'em' typo on the command on the assistant)
I've also installed messenger lite! Thanks for the tip off

Are we sure the default is 330? My notification 'tile' is off centered... Can't remember if it was like that before.

I tried exactly that but only got a "unknown command: density200" error, even tough the command I sent had a space before '200'. Thankfully the app @-Sie- suggested worked on first try.

"wm density reset" to go back to default value. You're right , it is 340. I did a reset and used " wm density" to display it

List of additional APKs that can be Sideloaded to your watch by Appfour developer (Extracted from the phone app version). These apps are wear apps but were removed from the wear side of the play store.
Wear Messages: Syncs to Default sms and Facebook messenger.
Wear Mail: Provides standalone or companion access to Gmail and various other emails. Full email functionality.
Calendar for Wear or Calendar W: 2 of them included. Both can link to Google or Samsung calendar account. I prefer Calendar W.
Wear Photos: Standalone or linked app that can view all the images from your phone.
Wear Video: Standalone or linked that can view all the videos from your phone.
Wear WiFi: Great Standalone Wi-Fi manager. (This app is available on both play stores, no need to sideload).
Those are all the appfour apps that I have installed that WORK. All the other ones don't work so I didn't include them like the YouTube or Document viewer.
I highly recommend the Email if nothing else.
Note: Wear Mail was too big to import at 7mb so I had to zip it first.
Also: I attached the old Facebook messenger addon that wear OS used to have installed. It can't open messenger directly but when you receive a messenger notification on your watch, there's an option to "open app" which will then open a messenger interface that is designed for wear OS with full functionality.

I have tried to install different versions of GO Assistant with no success. The 1.x versions do not even start (the loading circle remains). The 2.x versions start but then he doesn't "hear" me when I speak (even if from the interface it is listening and I obviously gave permission for the microphone).
Which version have you installed successfully?

Question How to enable ECG &Blood pressure monitor

Hi All I need someone to help if you can simplify or explain it more the process that Dante63 used to transfer the SHM from S22 device to the watch4 as I am not able to complete properly the procedure. I only managed to download SHM on the phone.

Use wear installer 2 to simplify the process
Make sure both devices are on the same WiFi network
Enable wireless debugging on watch
Download both APKs. Phone for phone, watch for watch
Open up wear installer 2 on your phone and input your watch IP address and press done
Press custom APK and select watch APK
Press continue and install
Done

I tried it on and it's installed but shows error as it says that this phone app isn't for watch!!!
Any solution or do you have any APK that's working on Galaxy s22 phone that can be transferred to the watch4?

Select the watch APK not phone APK
Watch APK is about 12mb

What's the APK to be used?

Where can I download it

Question Connect watch from wear os app?

Is their any way to connect galaxy watch 4 with wear os app?

You can pair without the wear app but you need the app to configure the watch in any phone, samsung or not.

Have you tried the wear app?
Without connecting it properly, via Samsung Wear app, what you have is largely an expensive paperweight that most functions are wasted on
If you try and connect it properly and fail, then get back to the community...and peopel will try and help
But asking a hypthetical without trying the standard approach is the slow way to resolving things
There are solutions to some issues, and for things like running Samsung Health Monitor on non-Samsung and rooted devices, for example:

Question [India] Missing features SPay, Google Assistant, BP and ECG missing from Samsung Watch 4 Classic

Hi all,
After reading and searching a bunch of thread here, I have not been able to find clear answers. There are various guides for individual items. I want to collect all the information in one place, from a non-tech user perspective. (India Specific)
Missing features:​
Samsung Wallet (Samsung Pay)
Google Assistant
BP and ECG monitoring
Google Wallet (Google Pay)
Others I don't know about?
Watch4 vs Watch4 Classing missing feature difference?
Partial information which I will update as I learn: (please help)
I wonder if just setting the right country's CSC code will enable samsung pay AND all the other features like assistant, BP, ECG etc...?
Get Samsung Pay​The most used way I have found is to change the CSC to a country that has SPay and it seems to work for some people and not for others. most importantly, there is no going back. Hence, I have not tried this yet. I also contacted Samsung India support and they said that this feature is "Coming soon" but who knows what that means. I had Samsung Gear S3 Frontier for years and they never updated it even after promising the "Coming soon". I did the CSC change for that watch and it worked.
Is there a up to date definitive guide for Indian region that works consistently?
​Get Google Assistant:​Most googling will tell you to go to the play store on your watch and update the assistant app from there. But for me, the assistant app as completely missing and not showing up in search results. For example, If I go to the play store listing for Assistant, it just says "This item isn't available in your country."
Guide 1: Side Load Assistant Skip the top, go down to "How to sideload Google Assistant on the Galaxy Watch 4"
I was able to get Assistant working by side loading the apk, which is a little bit technical as you need to turn on Dev mode and enable Debugging.
IMPORTANT: Before running Assistant on watch, make sure you set the language on Assistant on your phone to English (US) and not English (India).
Get BP and ECG Monitoring​This involves a lot of steps and I have not tried it yet but this guide is the best and most recent I found:
EvilDante63's 18th Feb 2023 Video Tutorial:
(will update more as people contribute and I figure out further)

afaik we can revert csc back to INU by using shell.

Hey folks any way to l make gpay work on the watch??
