Custom rom pairing with Gear S - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello there. I have this question in my head for loooong time. If I install custom ROM, can I still pair Gear S with the S7E? Because when I asked Samsung, they said that it can only be paired with galaxy devices only and that's why I think it can also work with stock ROM only.
Also here comes other question. Can it e paired with ROMs based on stock ROM?
Please correct me if I am wrong and also write, what you think and if it can be paired.
Thanks for your time and answers.

I am pretty sure that the Gear S can be paired with any phone but you'll lose some functionality. The same would probably go with non official roms but I can't say for sure that would be the case.

I know, that it can be paired with any phone, but I want all functions, that's why I am asking.

I'm not sure how they communicate with eachother but I would assume if it's TouchWiz based and has all of Samsung's features that you will get the full functionality. But I don't know if the watch can tell if it's a custom ROM or that it's rooted. That's one thing I myself am trying to figure out because if I root then I lose Samsung pay, but if the watch can do it while the phone's rooted then I'll be satisfied.

When I think about it now, they might be paired only with Samsung gear app, but only from Samsung app store. Maybe as long as u have I custom romantic Samsung shop, they will work, but who knows. I will try it sometimes.

Epic isn't supported. Go on the website. As of Monday, the Epic was the only Android phone not supported by the app.
Eh, it's on the supported devices page, but they have the wrong picture and say only 2.1 is supported.
With that said, I have it installed on my stock EB13 with no problems, and I just tried the "locate my phone" thing and it worked just fine. Unfortunately I have no idea if it would be able to tell if you are running a custom ROM or anything, but I plan to uninstall it before I root and load up a new ROM again, just to be safe.
well it is possible that they can see what os we are running as it pulls the info from the device. websites do this all the time. we hear reports of an android version like 2.3 or 2.4 showing up in access logs of who visited the site... i would think the app would do something like that also. so i would not use it... i use lookout mobile security.
To be honest, that app scares the crap out of me. I don't need Sprint telling me they will not support my device anymore cause they had an application that told them what was happening on my phone. I would much rather use another application. Would suck if I had hardware failure, and they decided they will not replace it under warranty because of the evidence they have on hand to show that I was using root and foreign Roms.
I installed the app on my rooted dk28 epic and ill let you guys know. I'll know in the next couple days.
It does not work on my custom rom. I'm running Nebula, which declares itself in about phone. TEP program probably checks version numbers.
AFAIK this app won't run on a modded Epic for some reason. I hear it runs fine on the Evo roms.
i wounder if sprint can tell if your rooter and custom from just connecting to data services such as 3g and or 4g? They could pull simple things like version numbers... we could blame it on the 20 apps that google pulled that rooted phones....

Maybe this is what he meant;
How would one port a rom from one brand of tablet to another?
I would like to transplant the Samsung(presumably HC from the g-tab) Rom to the Xoom.
What needs to be modified to get this to work?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
That's the closest I can come to making sense of it.

I think you're close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
I think what he meant was:
“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”

To which the only logical response is:
“You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.”

Samsung ROM advantages:
1, the video is hard to make me the most satisfactory solution
2, select the wallpaper is the most humane
3, the notification bar with brightness adjustment, and WIFI, notice, GPS, voice, auto rotation, bluetooth, Flight Mode switch
4, UI looks better

Yes it can be done but no one here will do it. You understand me?
Xoom is Android 3.2. Samsung is 3.1. People here do not want to walk backwards.
When Samsung changes to 3.2 then yes it can be transplanted.
What language you speak? Maybe Asian? Me Asian too.
Pity. Motorola can not make such a nice UI user
Sincerely hope that Motorola can produce the perfect andriod 3.x ROM

I am glad to see a “Touchwiz UX for XOOM - Alpha Stage”
As follows:
Hi for all.
Its my port of Touchwiz UX for XOOM in early alpha stage.
Pay attention!
This is not final version, errors and bugs may occurs.
In this first step i make a package of launcher only, apparently fully functional. To test this, u need root and push twlauncher.apk to /SYSTEM/APP. If u dnt like and like to revert, simply remove then and older launcher will be reverted back.
Like my work? Pay me a beer.
new alpha or beta releases will be posted in this thread...
bug reports are welcome..
requests are welcome too...

Our device is a Google device you can add all that garbage if you want then what weeks or months for updates from Motorola. We get our updates pretty much directly from Google, they stop be Verizon first. You will notice the Google logo on the back. I'm pretty sure this is not the case with the device you guys are talking about. So your saying you don't like Google Android... (honeycomb) interface? Hopefully it will be improved when we get ICS.

What have we got, and what do we need? (Development)

Hello everyone.
I will be getting this device soon and I am excited. About 2-3 years ago I used to help some devs build custom ROMS for a ZTE mobile, and I would like to contribute on this tablet now. Back in the day - things were very simple but I am sure everything has changed since then.
So my questions are - what tools do we have? What limitations does Samsung put in place? What tools do we need?
Let's get some development going guys? Would be nice to get the basics out the way so we can start to get "real".

We need some app that allows us to use Note 10.1 as wacom digitizer for PC. Just for use with Photoshop or else. Via USB or BT. Didn`t find something even close.

Root is possible now. Some models without tripping knox.
Recovery is out as well, works fine for me but some still have issues.
If you can contribute to sorting that IMHO it would be a good step towards custom roms and kernels.

I second that. I tried a couple wifi based ones and they are very laggy. I need to learn how to do it with my wife's Surface Pro 2. I'm sure that is flawless.

It's doable, but I'm not too sure on the precision. I know some people have used a remote connection app to use devices as graphics tabs. IMO it's not of major importance yet, and could probably be done pretty easily once we have the basics in place better.
If root is good without tripping Knox - that would be one thing sorted. I'll take a look into recovery when my device comes.

S5 w/Verizon

Just switched to Verizon from Sprint & got the Samsung S5. What do you guys suggest I get for apps/accessories that are really good to go with this phone? And just any other imp info to go ?

It really just depends on what you use your phone for the apps that are a must have for me are titanium backup, soundhound, music ocean, business calendar, Facebook quick office, audio profiles just to name a few.

True.... I believe that was the only app I included that needed root access. I should have stated that.
Are you guys on verizon with the S5? I meant just regular apps for now that do not need Root. I just got on verizon so im not sure what there rules are with rooting & if the S5 verizon can even be rooted. Also is there a way to make the audio louder & sound better on the S5 thru headphones? I used DSP manager on my old HTC worked well.

I'm on Verizon. You can run any app on Verizon that you are used to running on TMO or Sprint or AT&T. As far as rules for rooting...Verizon does not recommend you root and if you do they will not honor any warranty, regardless of whose warranty it is...not much different than any other carrier. But, that doesn't stop users from rooting because you can unroot your phone if you have to return it to Verizon...but they can still tell it's been rooting at one time or another. As far as louder audio...I'll have to pass on that, my audio is plenty loud enough.
jpcalhoun: your not rooted? Are you using an S5? Are there any tweaks for it.

I have an S5 Developer Edition. I am rooted and running a custom ROM. Nonetheless, my response to your question remains the same, you should be able to run any app on your Verizon S5 that you ran on a TMO or other carrier phone. The only exception would be an app that has been specifically developed for that carrier, and all carriers have them to include Verizon. Apps that allow you to view / access your carrier specific account information, special carrier specific ringtones etc will only run on a carrier specific phone...you get the idea. You don't have to be rooted to tweak your phone. You can download a different launcher like Apex or Nova, there are a bunch of different launchers, and you can theme your phone. But to be honest, the greatest amount of "tweaking" can only be done if you're rooted. Root by itself does nothing, it's what you do after root enables the "tweaking". With the S5 you can install Safestrap (after rooting) that will enable you to flash a custom Touchwiz based ROM if you really want to tweak your phone. Hope I haven't given you more information that you needed, LOL.

CyanogenMod Forum → Device Req Samsung Galaxy Tab S2

We know there are work in progress to port CM 12 on T810 and T710 but none for T815 and T715
So those like me with T815 or T715 or ... that are looking for CM for their device can post their request in CyanogenMod Forum request page
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/116361-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2/
Yes; even without phone fuctions is ok for start. I see note 4 exynos got decent cm13 now; I hope no impossible to give it for tab s2 lte. Would be great
Hey, I'm new to this, but I want to give it a shot to try a port for the T715.
I think it should be no problem to make a build without modem support.
So my plan would be to use the source of the T710, if @CTXz allows me to use his sources.
Next I want to try to integrate the modem/ RIL sources, but don't expect too much! I'm completely new to android development and this will be my first project doing myself.
Just did some compilings and ports, but never to new unsupported devices. Maybe with some help it will be possible for me.

It seems the main issue is battery and camera (quality).
i think i messed my t817v. i rooted using odin, and cannot figure out what to do next. it tries to install but gives error message, also my tab wont charge, and when hooked into odin it keeps "adding then removed" over and over again... now i have a tablet that does not work.
any help on this would be awesome.

I also posted a device request at the CyanogenMod Forum.
What you always lose with CM is Bluetooth aptX support for higher quality Bluetooth audio, since they have no licence. And since now there is official MM for the S2 and it - with enough free storage and 3 GM of RAM and root available - really doesn't profit any more from a "slim" ROM than earlier devices did, can anybody point me to a real advantage of CM?
For me CM was never about storage, but about control. As far as possible (for I am no programmer) I want to decide about the rights apps have and don't. It starts with being able to delete them and goes on with being able to restrict their access rights. As far as I remember such privacy guard things are much more easier to accomplish with CM.

My TAB s2 is my first Samsung device.... ( other android devices being nexus 7, xperia z2 / z3, moto g 4G ) ...... I love the tablet but I must say the draw of a supported CM ROM would be the look / feel of stock android and the way the system behaves. Whilst with a rooted device you can remove bloatware, the system itself does not change. All of my other devices have been stock or only lightly skinned....and basically stock once you swap out the launcher.... so I have come to like that. I do find touchwiz to be a little in my face and I do notice the system intrusions a little...... a personal thing of course and I am not complaining as I made the decision to buy it knowing full well what Touchwiz was... but the hardware in the tablet and the price was the draw-card (got the WiFi version here in Aus the first month on sale for $540 ... in comparison, the Nexus 9 was circa $700 and the Ipad Air 2 64gb was $730). My nexus 7 2013 runs MM with less and smoother than the TAB s2 runs LP. I could only imagine what it could do with an ASOP ROM once the bugs were fixed.
Could it be due to a defect usb-port?

Do u know the difference between WIndows Phone/iPhone and Android, that's the kind of comparison u can use between Stock and CM.
Stock is the cute "little" thing with mostly everything that u may need ready to go.
CM is the smaller in size, much faster and with options to do almost anything u could think in a device.

Why does the SM-T815 run in 32bit mode, even under CM13?
