Seems Google+ not support Note 8?

Is Note 8.0 is too new for some app compatibility?
Google+ , Goggle, Up...
Anyone could give suggestion?

Can you be more specific on your problems? All the Google apps I've tried, including Google+, work just fine for me.

The Chinese stock ROM does NOT support apps that depend on google service. So google+, gmail, drive... all NOT available in that ROM.
You can flash a Taiwan version stock ROM or ROM for other countries. There are some known issues if you just flash the gapps to the Chinese stock ROM, eg, google map won't tell where you are...

Chinese Note 8
Hi,
I'm also stuck with the Mainland China Version of the Note 8, besides being not able to use google.play and other google stuff it seems to be a bit slow on lot of other things.
I tried to replace the chinese version with other ROM's , but sofar it alsways failed when it came to loading/writing modem.bin.
Luckily sofar I was able to recover the unit via Kies.
What I did :
1.download of another stock rom i.e. german
2. install Odin 3 , run it as admin
3. connect the Note to an Windows 7 pc , USB driver works
4. follow the various instructions found here
5. also tried the Note 8 toolkit
6. everything looks fine until it reaches the modem.bin file.
7. failed .....
Also tried it with rooting the Note 8 first via the toolkit
For good order sake pls note the following : Model Number GT-N5100
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband Version N5100ZCBMD2
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1087838
Build Number JZO54K.N5100ZCBMD2
Any suggestion what else to do ? Or which Rom to use ?
Tks

You can try this one. Simply copy it to internal SD and flash it with CWM recovery.
I'm not the owner of this ROM. I think it is based on the rooted ROM published here earlier.
OH... I'm too new to publish a outside link... try use baidu.com and search for " 新欧版rom（奥地利 3 Hutchison通讯）汉化修改版发布！！！" ... Hope this helps...

it works
Hi,
thanks for that tipp. Finally I made it work

Internet access
Hi,
that was a bit premature : the statement it works. Basically it does, however I can't get any data transmission work when not connected to wifi.
Using the phone as a phone is ok, Internet access does not, it says "No network connection available"
With WiFi no problem
Has this something to do with the non chinese Firmware ? Which I would find a bit odd since I never had any problem with importet phones in china sofar.
Anybody has a clue ?
Tks

[q] gapps for samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1

I have just recently bought a samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1 in China, and its great the only problem i have is that i don't have GAPPS. I was aware of this before buying as i have bought a samsung phone here but i was able to root and add GAPPS, i have rooted and put on CWM but i can't seem to find any GAPPS files for it. does anyone know where i can get GAPPS or the standard english rom to upload??

Not sure how it is in China but shouldn't you have the Play store app by default ?
Unless you removed it or something
Like I said i'm not sure how software is in China and AFAIK there are no custom ROMS for this device that require GAPPS
Cheers

No Android Market on Tablets from China
Hello together,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.

Hello
Offtopic.. i have samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5200 with Android Vers. 4.2.2. Is there way to root it? I tried search any tutorial, but no luck on this. Please help me..
Thanks

Hey guys,
you could try to flash some CM Gapps, like the ones form the Slimbean site.
You could give them a try!
http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/916-addons
There you can find the ones for 4.2.2!

In the development section for the. 10.1 you can use the cwm final and root.zip thread by bindroid.
As long as you know a little about Odin and cwm it's pretty safe.

China has a separate play store, but in this case (samsung devices) all of the gapps are missing. If anyone knows which version of gapps to download it would be great.
sm-t311 is my model. Appreciated

[Q] Help on installing "Samsung Apps" app on 4G Note 2 with CyanogenMod installed.

[Q] Help on installing "Samsung Apps" app on 4G Note 2 with CyanogenMod installed.
Hi,
I've got a GT-N7105T (Australian Telstra 4G version) of the Note 2.
I've also picked up a second hand Galaxy Gear. The Note 2 is on 4.1.2 and was due to be updated to 4.3 (to get the full functionality of the watch) yesterday but the rollout has been delayed.
I installed CyanogenMod via the installer they supplied which looks great and the phone info shows it's now 4.3.1 (and the model is now GT-N7105 without the T).
I've managed to install Samsung's Gear Manager but it tries to update and is looking for the "Samsung Apps" app.
I've tried to install the apk but it refuses to install.
Does anyone have any advice please on installing the Samsung Apps apk?
Thank you.

Better install TouchWiz ROM, if you need full Samsung compatibility.

Good day Khotaghora, please note the following instructions worked for me after many hours of banging my head off brick walls and flashing different roms including going back to the latest stock from sammobile.
Make sure you remove the current gear manager.
Download and copy the following gear manager http://twosx.net/xdadev/Gear/1.7.031004/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.7.031004.apk to your device. Note, I have not supplied this, from what I can gather it was ripped off the s5 sources, thanks go to Omniwolf for supplying the apk's on XDA.
Ensure in your phones settings under security you have unknown sources ticked.
Install the apk, usually just click on the downloaded file from your favorite browser.
Make sure you have Bluetooth turned on.
I'm not sure if you need to, but at this point I paired the Gear2 with my phone, it will pair as a handsfree device oh the irony.
When you run the manager it will look completely different from the old image asking you to sync, I could see the device at the top of the screen, clicking on it fired up both the watch and the manager.
Good luck with your new device, here is hoping dev's start porting some apps to the Gear2, the store is looking a bit bare at the moment.

Hi trickyburn. Thanks a lot for explaining this into detail. I can confirm that I have managed to get the Gear 2 Neo working with my S4 following your instructions. I actual posted your URL on another forum and some more people have benefited from your post. I wish Samsung had released the latest version of Gear Manager before the release of Gear 2.
Cheers,
KhotaGhora

Check your versions before applying any old s5 based fix, the version 2 gear manager is based on 4.4.2 API's so wont work. the above mentioned 1.7.031004 does work on 4.3 however
4.4.2 based roms might be able to use the updates from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686
However note I have not tested these as i'm on 4.3 stock at the moment

[APP][MOD] Galaxy Wearable patch for Samsung phones with custom ROMs

Hello everyone,
Recently I have been experimenting with custom ROMs on my Samsung phone and was very unpleasantly surprised to find that Samsung does not allow my Galaxy Watch to be used with modded Samsung phone... Yeah, I know there's the option to replace manufacturer and brand in build.prop, however I don't like the idea of unnecessarily modifying the system just for a couple of proprietary apps, so instead I took the approach of patching the apps to make them work with the phone again.
All that needed to be done was patch manufacturer and brand to static string(s). Here's a command to do just that:
Bash:
find . -type f -name "*.smali" -exec sed -i 's/sget-object \(v\|p\)\(.\+\), Landroid\/os\/Build;->\(MANUFACTURER\|BRAND\):Ljava\/lang\/String;/const-string \1\2, \"letitbeheardthisphoneistobetreatedasifitwereofabranddifferentfromtheonestartingwiths\"/g' "{}" \;
Patching the apps, however made the shealth app refuse communication with the wearable app due to mismatching signing certificates and it needed to be patched too. It is possible to either completely bypass signature checking or insert custom certificate - I have attached a patch that does just that.
You can (and probably should) do this yourself if you want to use the modified applications. Just decompile apks with apktool, apply the command in the directory with the apps content (it is necessary for Galaxy Wearable, Samsung Accessory and Galaxy Watch Plugin apps), and insert you own custom certificate into Galaxy Watch Plugin (attached patch - just replace the cert with your custom one). If you use Samsung Health, just replace the certificate string with hex-encoded certificate you used to sign the apps in the attached patch and apply it to the app. Then rebuild the apps and sign using the key whose certificate you just inserted into the apps.
Although you should never trust a random stranger on the internet with apps you install, I understand not everyone wants to go through this process themselves, so hereby I solemnly promise there is no malicious code inserted into the provided apks. And here's the link
App Versions:
Samsung Accessory (com.samsung.accessory): 3.1.94.11128
Galaxy Wearable (com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager): 2.2.42.21083061
Galaxy Watch PlugIn (com.samsung.android.geargplugin): 2.2.05.21042051

No idea what you're talking about. My watch works fine with my note 10+ using Dr ketan rom.

Same with Alexis. I just hide it with magisk but it was working just fine before that.

I was talking about AOSP-based ROMs. Generally, I build and sign the ROM whenever possible and so I don't find it necessary to root my devices. Also I don't like the idea of making changes to mask the actual device and when the app is used with Samsung phone, it relies on proprietary interfaces implemented only in Touchwiz, which are not available in AOSP. Since it is an app issue, it makes sense to make changes on the app level instead of the system level.

Hi,
I 've got the same problem with the rom Beyond V2.0.
Can you explain more precisely what i must do with yours files ? I'm a novice and my english not very good.
Thank a lot

Hello,
I'm using a unrooted (root not available yet) but knox tripped Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Because of no root i'm not be able to edit build.prop to change the tima line. Now I'm searching a way to get Samsung shealth 6.15.1.003 get working with data sync. To be honost i dont really understand how to patch this way. Could somehone explain me what to do? Samsung health is already decompiled with APK Easy Tool. Thanks in Advance

Hallo sir can you update the files or explain a bit further how to do it by ourselves

Could you be more specific. I want to try it but I dont understand how to doit. some one knows how to patch these apks. ? you tube video? thanks.

hi sir, thank you for your hard work. looks good and might be what i wanted. just rooted my phone and i cant seem to pair my gear sport with my rooted S20+.
Do i just install the apk like normal, running it in file manager? or do i need to flash it in through custom recovery?

fwiw i use an Active 2 with a rooted Pixel 2 XL, and dont need any of that and have ECG/BP and Samsung Pay working. Only modified thing is the Samsung Health monitor app on the phone, modded to not detect root or require a Samsung Phone, thats it....

I own a s5neo with lineage 17.1 and I had the same problem as reported, galaxy wearable identified my phone as modified/rooted and exited. Using your apk I was able to launch the app but it fails to install the galaxy buds live plugin, only shows a message that failed to install.
I don't know how to do the patch and I would like to know if you can generate a patched apk for buds live plugin (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.accessory.neobeanmgr&hl=en_GB)
thanks in advance

Can I use it for Spay?

To anyone coming across this post who wants to do this themselves, I've made a little guide and some tools here: https://github.com/adil192/SamsungAppsPatcher.
I've also attached the apks I've patched if you don't want to do it yourself (since the ones in OP didn't work for me) here: https://mega.nz/folder/sUFj2C5b#M4zEP-c9ylY-ENxPw7qCUQ. Like OP, I promise I haven't added malware in this.
Edit: I've somewhat automated the process now so if anyone wants me to patch another plugin, just @ me and I'll get it added as soon as possible.

Got it working..thanks

Would this process work to enable the Galaxy Wearable App to connect if using non-uk galaxy buds live? My app sets up the buds live but then fails to connect, even though Bluetooth connects and buds function.
Samsung have advised I have a Vietnamese version of the buds live which are not compatible with the Galaxy Wearable App in the UK.
