Galaxy Wearable App on Rooted Device - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I would like to know how to install the Galaxy Wearable app on my rooted Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F) running Lineage OS 15.1(-20190429-NIGHTLY-starlte), I have followed the instructions on every thread I could find numerous times and I'm still getting the following message:
Notice
The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorised way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.
Any questions please feel free to ask and I will reply ASAP.

Use Magisk Hide.

this is a build.prop issue
jaroulz, what did you change in the build.prop? You basically need to tell the watch that its not a samsung device. I always chose HTC in the alternate build.prop choices and it worked 100% of the time

It's all sorted now mate, I used the props mod from Magisk in order to modify the file build.props following the tutorial posted by EvilWayz in a different thread.

It might be a stupid question but once I've done all of this and managed to start the Samsung app, can I revert the file build.props to what is was before? Or does it need to stay like this forever? Using the Magisk Props Mod, how do I revert back to the original build.props file? Is there any backup file somewhere?

no stupid questions man! if you revert, itll likely crop back up as a problem. Its been a while since ive had to deal with it, but im thinking its a bad idea to revert

The tima secure needs to stay the same.
Thats all we used to modify was ro.tima.secure from 1 to 0

Of you already flashed a build prop tweak it may be done. But in the past this was all we needed
If you google it. There are loads of pages on it

Hey jaroulz, I've tried changing samsung to htc in 4 different places in build.prop but no joy for me, is that all you did? FWIW I'm on s10e with LOS 17.1 so might be something additional that I have to do.
Also no sign of that ro.tima.secure entry on mine.

Correct. But it is also possible to inject a kernel if a bootloader unlock isn't available.
You can download the stock boot.img from here:

Thank you for the quick reply. Haha I figured as much but they way the post is set up, it seemed like you could use heimdall to flash it. Knew it was too good to be true yet! Awesome work getting it set up already though
The fact that there's something posted in the development section for this phone gives me some hope that we'll achieve root soon.

Just to prevent any false hope, the configuration for the kernel was included with the T-Mobile version of the source so that is what made porting it so quickly possible. Root may not be as easy. I do hope it is, though.

Front Camera smoothing problem.

Hi all
I bought phone a week ago , 502k serie
I have problem with front camera. It makes photos very smooth even when i make smoothness slider to 0 . Is there anyway to completely close it. Or to fix this problem.
Here an example
Looks like only I have this problem which means my camera is not working well

1) Root your phone. No, don't ask me how, there are detailed gudes in "General" section.
2) Open /etc/camera_config.xml in any text editor and change the value of "beautyshot_supported" to false. The problem is clearly software one, this method should completely disable smoothing.

Thanks mate , thats good. I know how to root but i am not sure about it right now. I just bought it and i dont want to lose warranty very early.
So I guess it is not possible to reach that config file without root ?

Please point me in the right direction...

Ok sorry in advance for seeming like a noob... I haven't rooted an android device since the galaxy prevail years ago.... I currently have a sprint galaxy s6 ( BOL1 UPDATE) and I have been looking for how to root it but either I'm missing something or I haven't seen any root specific posts regarding the BOL1 UPDATE... I just want to be safe before flashing anything so any guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated...

Might be time. I would want to bring in @JoeFCaputo113 who created the original guide that we all used to get started.
Joe, a lot of people are asking if the same methods work for OL1. (They do, but people ask.)
And we can address using the new SuperSU (which Joe originally posted about) as well.
Thoughts?

[Guide] Enable App Twin Feature on EMUI 5.0

Saw few users not having App Twin feature on various variant of 6X on EMUI 5.0. I found this trick on Honor 5C Facebook group shared by one of the user claiming this worked for him on rooted phone. I could not test this because I already have this feature on my phones so unable to verify but someone not having this feature on EMUI 5.0 can verify and report.
This needs a rooted phone with root enabled file explorer. (Root browser or ES file manager)
Go to this path:- system/emui/lite/prop/
backup this file - local.prop (copy and paste in internal storage or somewhere)
Now edit the original file under system/emui/lite/prop/ and make below changes.
fw.max_users=1 to 2
fw.show_multiuserui=0 to 1
ro.config.hw_support_clone_app=false to true.
Save the file and Reboot the phone.
Now check in settings option just below battery for app twin.
If it works, please share the feedback so that other users can get benefit of this and if doesn't work, we will explore more option to have this.
If you face any issue, just restore the original file from backup.
Good luck.

Thanks for testing it mate.
Tested this feature and this will work 100% on Honor 6X on any region. Just follow the instruction mentioned in OP. I just did on BLN-L21 model (debranded today)
Just debranded from BLN-L22 to BLN-L21. Everything working fine. More details to follow soon.
For those, who were just curious to know if there will be OTA after debranding, you will get OTA after debranding without any issue. Just confirmed after debranding to BLN-L21. Got 2 updates in less than 30 minutes.
EDIT- Ignore this post. was posting in debranding guide thread but tab changed in a blink which I didnt notice.

Just FYI. This guide worked, more or less, on a Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus (Nougat 7.0, Emui 5.1). Did I say "More or less"? yeah, I did.
It appeared "AplicaciĆ³n gemela" new menu, just under the battery option in the settings menu ("twin app", in spanish). Problem is inside option, I only have option to replicate WeChat app. Okay, that is one of the two apps I'd like to clone (messaging app with logon based on phone number, and this phone is a 2-SIM one... personal and work). The other one is Whatsapp, also installed. But not appearing in menu for twinage.
So guide works, functionality in limited way.
Maybe it's due the mobile origin (China), the tuning I've made to it for getting gApps working (my god...), or maybe its due the whatsapp I've installed is the beta version? unsure.

Sorry, forgot to come and edit. I've already seen it. it's great info.
But in the end, Whatsapp doesn't works for me (ok, I didn't go trhough ABD but just modified XML file, whatsapp appears in menu, i can clone it, second icon appears in NOVA's app drawer, but it opens with the SAME configuration, it is not a different one... for wechat, it works)
It is no so important for me, so I'm not dedicating more time, just playing around a nice feature. If sometime in future i need it, maybe i will investigate more or use any app out there for cloning.
Thanks ^_^

I'll see what I can do about maybe making a flashable for the Camera as this is just a Stock base I don't wanna add something others may not want. I'm super busy so may be a couple days. I'll also upload a new link that has the T-Mobile SIM unlock app added back.

Stock LG firmware version the ROM is based on. 10 is Nougat, 20 starts Oreo.
For some reason European bottle builds are at higher versions (20Y even 21A), but that doesn't mean they are more advanced than North American 20E.

If you referring to flashing this rom.. Ignore it like I did.. Some parts say 20d.. Magisk says it when flashing but you get 20k.. Mine rebooted 3 times for full boot.. Twrp acted up like I had nothing but recovery after flashing, but I have vendor partition with no treble rom.. The button key combo fixed the issue.. Booted normal and then recovery started acting right.. But if you looking for old to new, the higher the combination, the newer.. 10d>20d>20k

Maybe try adb pull /system which should have all the apks from system minus the ones with elevated privileges. Well if you have the g7 to do that from

Fingerprint scanner is not working for me after flashing. Anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Data was encrypted. Wiped data and reflashed fixed it
Gonna have an update for ya guys did some tweaking on the kernel so grab your favorite kernel manager and see what settings work best for you!, removed T-Mobile boot for Pixel boot and Shutdown animation added all Android P UI notification and ringtones. More to come later trying to get best stock experience possible. Don't ask for original apks please they are pretty easy to find.

Since you're tweeking the kernel i'd like to see a GPU OC. Also KCAL would be aweseome!
