Hi.. I am looking to install google now launcher on my AT&T Galaxy S5.. I was just wondering will there any issues with using the launcher and Google Now.. I am big fan of them both. Also when Google updates either of these, will i be able to update in Play Store?? I am asking this because I am side loading the launcher. Response is appreciated.
I tried to but can't, maybe change to Nexus 5 in build.prop.
For now you will have to side load any update to that app until Google makes it available for non nexus devices. As you probably already know sideloading works perfectly fine
Can anybody point me in the right direction. My wife's note 3 does not have Galaxy essentials installed. It's the verizon sm-n900v model. I need it to update sns provider. It's for Facebook one tap login. If anyone can gimme an apk or somehow add the widget that would be highly appreciated. I contacted samsung support and they couldn't do anything. They said galaxy essentials is only for Samsung s5 and newer devices. I cannot update sns provider without the essentials widget. Thanks in advance.
Fixed it. I ripped the apk from my t mobile note 4 using apk extractor From the play store and installed it on her note 3. Worked like a charm. Yet one tap fb still does not work. O well.
Does anyone know if we can get the STOCK edge panel apps and notifications on S7? My last phone was note 3 on vzw and there was a ROM that had the edge apps that I found to be extremely useful. If anyone knows how to get them on S7 can you help me out please? Thanks to anyone with input ahead of time!

try sideloading related apks
Does anyone know what apks are required? No other modifications are necessary?
There is an app called The peoples edge on google play its exactly like the edge panel its like 1.99 on play store but totally worth it, it works well and its regularly updated, plus you can try before you buy and its inexpensive. No root Required.
I've upgraded from a nexus 6 to the galaxy s8+. I did not realize how much I took the google phone app forsaken its functionality phone calls Id's voicemail built into the app. Samsung's phone app is bare bones in comparison while I've tried installing the google phone apk it does not work, unfortunately. Does anyone know of a similar app that they would recommend?
I use Google phone app on my S8. I sideloaded it by installing apk file.

This version is working for me.
Google Phone 7.0.140861421-nonnexus
Google Contacts 1.6.20
Here's the newest version, and you can get the newest contacts app from apkmirror. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412
I managed to install this version on my G8 Plus Google Phone 7.0.140861421-nonnexus and it is working. When I tried to installed anything from version 8 and up I get an alert that the app is not compatible. How can I install the latest version?
Just picked up an Essential yesterday. Someone on Reddit claimed that most recent OTA fixed Gear S3 compatibility. This is only partially true. Here's what I've found:
Working:
-installing apps
-installing 3rd party watch faces
-updating watch firmware
-connect via Bluetooth
Workarounds:
-Samsung pay - install this: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Samsung+pay+gear
-No notifications - install this: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Gear+plugin
Everything works now, enjoy guys
have you received every update? Including the latest build and the essential apps from the play store??
I have the Fit2, notifications always worked for me, but installed apps and watchfaces started working last week
That's odd, I receive notifications on my S3 just fine. Samsung Pay still crashes for me as well.
Yeah, from what I've read Samsung Pay is the only thing not working still.
Sounding better. I saw somewhere the S3 was not working so I have not even tried mine yet. Using my Fossil Q Marshall at the moment. I really miss the screen on the S3.
I'll try factory resetting my gear S3 to see if I can get notifications working. Tried playing with settings, but couldn't get it working. Will report back later tonight.
Notifications definitely do not work on the gear S3. Factory reset the gear S3 and still no notifications at all. Have fingerprint gestures, so definitely on latest update.
Update: got it working! Downloaded the latest Gear Services apk from apkmirror and everything works! I installed Samsung pay apk from apkmirror and that works too! Everything works, woo!
The links don't work for me did anything change?
You can search and they show up on apkmirror. Also for the brave you can get text messaging to work with any text app on your phone on the S3. It takes a bit of work but I did it this morning and it works. You have to install Tizen studio and an apk on your phone. The apk for the phone is in the thread so you do not have to build it with android studio though. I used a guide in the thread for the pixel to get it to work for me.

Thanks for this! Samsung pay works great now. Haven't tested it on a purchase, but was able to install, add my cards, access it on my S3, and initiate the payment process!
is there a way to get Samsung Messaging and Notes?
S3 Gear Currently Incompatible With Android 9.0
Samsung is working on a solution, but the S3 Gear currently lacks the ability to connect to any device running Android 9.0. In the meantime, I simply connected my S3 Gear to my old S7 Edge phone & set up all the stand alone features before officially retiring the phone. Until Samsung fixes the problem, I'm able to use Samsung Pay, make calls/sms (assuming you have separate line setup), and use basic watch functionality without any problems.
Samsung, hurry up and fix Android 9 break!
I'm having trouble connecting Gear Fit 2 Pro on Android Pie. I tried Gear Wearable & Fit2 Pro plugin but still not working. Any help?
I don't use my watch for "a lot". Mostly notifications. I've never used S-voice, although it does work and I have used it to talk on the phone once. Haven't used Samsung pay but it is set up. Guess I'll have to try it.
Anyone else not able to get Samsung health to recognize the watch and capture it's steps?
here works all fine on stock pie rom also on cm pie ROMs I had np with gear sport etc

Thanks for this.. btw the old Pay link is not working.. Now the app is called "Samsung Pay (Watch Plugin)" https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-pay-watch-plug-in/
---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------
After installing Pay plugin, I was able to add the cards, but once I closed the app, I could not find the app anywhere? Can someone please help me how to get this app show up inside Samsung wearable? I am using PH1 with latest Pie release. Samsung customer care basically said "Your phone is not officially supported for Pay".
