Samsung Tizen users, what do you use for apps like CloudStream?

I recently got a Samsung QN70F and I'm loving the TV, but Tizen is pretty limiting. I wanted to use apps like CloudStream, but there's no way to install APKs.

What are you guys using instead? Fire TV Stick 4K Max? Chromecast? Something else?

If you're using a Fire Stick, how's the experience with sideloaded apps like CloudStream? Worth buying?

Can't sideload apps on Gear S3 Frontier with S21 FE 5G

EDIT: I fixed it! Read the bottom for more information.

NOTE: PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE COMMENTING!! I already tried everything in the pinned posts and some workarounds online. It's not helpful if you give me a useless comment.

Hi everyone, I've been trying for weeks to get third-party apps like Spotify and even first party apps like the Voice Memos app onto my Gear S3 Frontier and I'm completely stuck. Posting here as a last resort because I've already tried everything I can find.

My setup:

  • Watch: Samsung Gear S3 Frontier (SM-R760)
  • Tizen version: 4.0.0.7
  • Firmware: R760XXU2FVG1
  • Phone: Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G
  • Mac for sideloading tools

What I've tried:

  1. sdb install via Tizen Studio: connects fine, transfers fine, but every single app hits either error -27 (side loading error) or error -12 (non trusted certificate).

  2. Re-signing with a custom cert profile: created a Tizen cert profile in Tizen Studio, re-signed all the wgt/tpk files, still -12.

  3. WatcherManager++ APK swap method: the transfer notification fires on my phone and Galaxy Wearable shows it's sending, but nothing ever appears on the watch.

  4. Date spoofing: set watch date back to 2021 to bypass cert expiry, still no change.

What DID work:

  • Samsung Pay (com.samsung.samsung-pay-app-2.7.5106.wgt) installed perfectly via sdb.

Has anybody else gotten it to work???

And also if you did, it would be great if I could get the exact files you used to try those with my watch.

SOLUTION: I kept getting a signing error. Here's why: I had Tizen Studio installed and continued to use it's version of sdb. The version that it installs for you does not work. Along with that, I had tried to sign apps on my own, and because of this I had certificates in my signing cache. Once deleting Tizen Studio and its corresponding sdb version, I was able to use the original pre-signed packages and successfully install them.

When installing apps, make sure you install the sdb version 2.2.60 (from the XDA forum) and do NOT install Tizen Studio.
