Possible to use Samsung Smartview and Allshare on Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Just a couple of questions:
1) I have tried to install the Samsung Smartview apk on my N7 and although it installs fine but when started it will come up with "authentication error". I have tried 3.18,3.19 and 3.20 of the apk and got the same results. Would like to use my N7 as remote and dual view if possible for my Samsung TV other than my GS2.
2) Also tried to install AllShare on N7 and copied the apk file to system folder but still no luck, any advise?
I wondering if some sort of Samsung framework is require for those apps. Thanks!

you must go to the setting on the tv . its under i forget the tab . but the setting menu that comes up on the left side of the tv . its tucked away under general i think.You have to reauthorize it . I had the same troubles. And everytime i reinstall the apps on my phone or a500 same issue..
I so wish my vizio led tv could use this. there remote is lame even thou it comes with a quarty keyboard on the back of it ..
good luck
just tried on my nexus same issue as you describe. Sorry guess we are SOL. Until samsung addresses this. i sent them a email please do the same.. I never installed it until i read your post .. sorry

You could try airdroid, not sure if it will give you all functions that you need though.

What kind of remote control ? Against theft ? For that, the samsung has it's own remote control service. If you have a Samsung account set-up on your Galaxy S3, go to : http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do
For total remote access, I don't know. But if it's possible, it may create vulnerability on your device (because it will able to receive instructions from other devices).

Airdroid is goof if you just want to use a browser to send text messages etc.
I have mine set up with tasker to fire up automatically when my phone joins the works wifi network. That way I can text all day without ever having to touch my phone
You could also try DroidVNC for more complete control of the device.
Try Moborobo, you can control your phone from Pc as if your phone is on your hands

Remote control Crash
Hi guys!
Got a HK I9300 a few weeks ago! the phone is still stock.
I am currently on mainland China, on a China Mobile sim card, must also add i do get access to Google Play (so no need to change to change roms for now)
Problem though is that i wanted to add some security to the phone, with the "remote control". Registered on Samsung Dive, Google, allowed google locations,... and when i go to remote controls and press "ok", i get " Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
i would like to know if anyone had the same problems or is it remote controls is not supported for mainland china?
Thanks ... really want to keep track of my phone in case it gets stolen

Get Galaxy Gear working with the HTC M8

Hey Guys,
After some frustration, I can confirm that this method works for connecting the original Galaxy Gear with the HTC One (M8) no problem since it's running Bluetooth 4.0 LE, obviously with the Samsung apps limitations.
1. Download Gear Manager 1.6.111801 (com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.apk) (if you are on a page with a whole list of apks, don't lose it!)
2. Change extension from .apk to .zip
3. Transfer to your phone
(3.33 Make sure you have a file manager on your phone. I like Astro if you don't have one already)
(3.67 Make sure you have allowed installing from)
4. Open com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.zip
5. Navigate to assets>preInstallApks and install all the APK (there's something like 16 of them)
6. Navigate back to the original folder and rename com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.zip to com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.apk
7. Install com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.apk
8. Download Gear Manager 1.7.031004 and put it on the phone (com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.7.031004.apk)
9. Run com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.7.031004.apk
10. If your watch is brand new, you're going to have to update it to the newest software: google it.
11. At this point if your watch is on, your phone should start searching for it, and maybe find it. I rebooted my phone once while it was trying to connect and when I opened up Gear Manager, it requested a sync and boom, synced.
Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Weather doesn't work as well as s-voice, obviously, nor does the media controller, but the dialer, find my phone, contacts, camera and photo transfer I can confirm are working.
Edit: after a couple of different ideas, I still can't get notifications working on the stock software. If anyone set up a rommed watch, let me know if you have notifications.
I've tried ATN Manager v1.2.3 for the notifications and it's been a success (I can't read the actual message but the notification is sent to the gear)
Just make sure you go into settings > security > notification access > make sure ATN Manager is check marked

so i setup my M8 phone just like described in the op, my watch has the latest firmware, i try to sync and it pairs it and then tries to connect but it wont connect. I read some other forums that said you need gear manager stub in /system/app. Is that true? anyone have it? Also when I first launch the software it wants to update a gear manager plugin 1 and something else. Am i suppose to let these update? I am not sure how to get around them. Any help would be great. Thanks guys. Would really love this to work.
Thanks for this timely thread. I just got my M8 and an eager to connect it to my Gear. Can you please tell me how I can get the gear manager apks you mentioned? My S4 had already been sold.
Gear fit works with M8
http://9to5google.com/2014/04/12/how-to-use-samsungs-gear-fit-smartwatch-with-other-android-devices/
We have also learned that an initial update of the Gear Fit may be necessary to get this method working. This Gear Fit must be updated with a compatible Samsung device or the Gear Manager app could have trouble connecting with it during the setup process on an unsupported device.

OP, can I ask you if you were on just a Stock Rooted Rom or which Custom Rom you used while connecting the Gear?

Thanks to this thread I wanted to give it a shot.
I have a Gear 2 Neo and got it working with my M8 in pretty simple way.
Gear Manger .apk the latest from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593066
Install the .apk and run through the setup. It will install a bunch of apks and ask to reset the Gear 2 Neo, but for me its all working great.
I did go into settings on the Gear 2 and check for the watch to be bluetooth visible. Other than that it was a snap.
I have an Factory Unlocked M8 on Att.
Will this work with the Galaxy Gear?? Not the Gear 2, the 2013 version. Was really hoping to get the notifications etc working on my m8 and gear watch. HELP!!
Hopefully this will work. Might have to give it a go with a demo gear at work before purchasing. Thanks for the great guide, and I'll be back if it does/doesn't work for me
Having trouble getting this to work. Will try again later

Hello, did you manage to change watch faces. i have linked gear with M8, however with watchfaces challenged. please advice.
thanks in advance

Is this topic dead? The Gear Manager in the M8 works as in the Samsung? No bugs at all? I don't want to buy a Samsung just because of Galaxy Gear. Now I have a Sony SmartWatch 2 and it works as a charm with my M8... Why Samsung doesn't make the Gear for everyone?!
Any more news or reports from anyone doing this?

Spoofing on Nvidia Shield Android TV ?

Hey
Have anyone managed to spoof another device on the Nvidia Shield Android TV with a stock rom (rooted?)
So you managed to enable playstore with ALL apps on it ?
Ive tried both Market helper and device spoofer but dosnt seem to work
appriciate help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146216
This works very well. Use a web broweser. I used Nexus 7 and had absolutely no problems.
I tried that but i guess il try nexus 7 then, thanks man
Hello community I try to do some spoofing to use application that blocks the video broadcast tv on Android whereas with a non-tablet. sorry for English
Hi,
Can anyone confirm Market helper works with Leanback Google Play Store? App works and change the device successfully but still can't find stuff in the market that usually I could find on my rooted Fire TV using the same app. This is an annoing issue for me.
Thanks.

Is anyone able to use the DirecTV app on the Shield Android TV?

Hey guys. Does anyone have a working apk of the DirecTV app for the Nvidia Shield Android TV?
It looks like it has HDMI protection and just fails to stream. Has anyone been able to remove the protection on the .smali file that has it?
What is the exact error that you are receiving? I use to be able sideload a Direct TV apk for either the phone or the tablet but now they have stop working. When it worked fine it was amazing. I was able to watch my subscribed premiums. I think we need to incentivize developers to find a means of allowing functionality through our Nvidia Shield. I will pledge a 300 bounty for the first person that finds a work around. There are many gifted people on this forum and as a whole we can solve this issue.
Any luck with this?
Not sure if it's an HDMI block because if you notice certain channels do work (local NBC works for me as well as ESPN channels). I'm inclined to think the device isn't giving the proper location access to the app thus forcing the error for most channels. Just my 2 cents.
I experimented with a custom ROM yesterday and the DIRECTV app worked great on it. I don't think the app has an HDMI block, I think it's more that the stock rom restricts the necessary permissions or location requests.
What android tv box are you using? Are you using the latest directv version (phone or tablet)? What custom ROM you use?
I have a shield TV and I'm using zulu99's full android marshmellow firmware. There isn't any controller support so you'll have to pair with a mouse/keyboard but pretty much all apps work on it.
Hey guys, I am in the same situation. I have found two other threads on the issue. It is definitely not an HDMI issue or a WiFi issue. Someone has tried to fool the app on what device it's on and it worked but it was too much work. There must be a simpler way to achieve this.

I would love to see someone figure this out. I have tried to tinker, but I am just not smart enough to make it happen. Hopefully one of the many crazy smart dev's will take a look at this sometime. ((fingers crossed))

The Direct TV app now is working I have the same issue but i think it was an ATT issue but its working as of 10/19/16
but not working on my note 4
DirecTV now
Hi, DirecTV Now app is not in my Google play store ! I'm using Nvidia shield TV. Any reason why it's not showing up ..
Thanks
I would love to use the DirecTV Now app on the nVidia Shield too. I extracted the APK from the app I installed on my Pixel XL, and loaded it on the Shield, but I get the following error:
failed to connect to aeg-umsgw.quickplay.com/23.101.201.149 (port443) after 10000ms
Man, life would be good if they'd release this app for the Shield.
Ok, so I was able to extract the Fire TV .apk file and sideload onto my Nvidia Shield TV. I was able to open it and navigate using the standard Shield remote. The only issue I am having is playing live TV content. Sometimes it loaded fine and other times it gives me an error and telling me to Refresh the content. Seems to be very buggy for Android TV. Here is a link to the extracted .apk file. I would like to see what you guys get trying this out.

I got mine working. I did a Sideload APK install from APK Mirror "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015 by DIRECTV, LLC --- September 9, 2016" (select that version)
My problem was that I kept trying to use the Telephone version of this App. I did not know that DirecTv has a Tablet APK version as well that is very similar but has slight variations for older tablets. Let me know if yours works now. I don't need $300, but a $10 Starbucks gift card will do...
*** SINCE I am new to this forum I cant post the link *** Go to the APKMIRROR website and search "Directv" -> then select-> "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015"
Enjoy.

It seems there is some confusion and contusion between the DirecTV apps. The hot new toppic is about the DirecTV NOW service. I ran the search on APKmirror and it seems what you are talking about is the older app for DirecTV satellite service customers.
http://www.apkmirror.com/?s=Directv&post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk
I am referring to the DirecTV app that is for satellite customers, NOT the Now app.
I was able to download the tablet version of the DirecTV app and use it on my Nexus Player running stock 7.1.1 system, but you have to use a mouse; the app is designed for touch input and while you can sort of use the remote, there are a bunch of things you cannot press without using a mouse. Still hoping for some official support at.. using a mouse isn't ideal. Here is the latest apk file: updated 11/24/2016 v. 4.9.010
http://www.filedropper.com/dtv
Resurrecting this old thread. Do you still use the directv app on your shield and is it working ok? Do you have a more recent apk you can share? For anyone reading this I am looking for the DirecTV app NOT the DirecTV Now app. Thank you!

New to Android, how do I root a Nvidia Shield TV (2017)?

I might as well be a complete noob again because I haven't rooted an Android device since I had an HTC Rezound which had an application on the computer or phone, if I remember where all you did was click on the options and it did everything for you.
I just picked up a NVIDIA Shield TV (2017) yesterday and noticed that it doesn't have the full Google Play Store among other things that I miss.
I was just curious if there is an official way or a way that works to root it now? It would be awesome to add any app/apk that you want from the Google play Store or side loaf but yet still keep the important stuff from the Shield TV, like GeForce NOW. Full Android OS expirence. I've checked out the forums here for the Shield and I'm a little overwhelmed, don't know how to even start or where? If someone wouldn't mind helping me out and getting me started I would greatly appreciate it.

You can side load already out of the box. You'll need to install chainfires sideload launcher to open them. You'll also have problems when updating to New official updates. I personally can find everything I want without root or full Android os.
I can't help you root as I haven't done it yet. Just sharing my opinion.

Thank you for the quick response, I'll try some of the stuff you said. I just want to be able to sideload APK files that I download on my PC as well as to install all apps from the Google Store that currently I can't due to Shield limiting what you can install like Chrome, etc. I'm guessing I just place APK files on a USB drive, plug it into my Shield and use ESexplorer to install? Then some kind of Launcher to open the apps? I read that most sideloaded apks won't show up on the main screen?
