LG Watch R / iPhone third party apps - LG G Watch R

I just got my new LG Watch R. Works fine with my iPhone 6. I can read messages and swipe them away, no promblems there.
Now i would like to use my new watch with sports. Is there any way to install endomundo or something on the watch? Its not neccesary at all to connect endomondo with the iPhone, but i just want to see my speed etc on the watch.
Besides this i have a problem installing watch faces. If i want to install a watchface from the Android wear app it doesn't install anything.
Thanks for the help.

Check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-w...l-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3048122
Also you can side load the apps you want that you cannot download through the iphone wear app using adb. I have seen somewhere that they have the google app store running on the watch...

It didn't work for me. When i do the last step i get an dead android Maybe im doing something wrong?

You don't need to root. Just find the phone APK file, rename it to ZIP, find the mobile APK file inside the res/raw folder, and use adb install on it.
This post is about getting a customized watchmaker onto the watch, but you can do the same and skip the part about modifying the APK

Its a tasker like app, you can set predefined rules to execute on actions... so for example: you flick your wrist and app would open..
I believe you can setup connectivity between your phone and your gear also, so if you flick your wrist an app could also open up your phone ? Or atleast this is what iv been led to believe anyway.

Exactly what im thinking, Iv got wemo's all around my house... I cant wait till I can control them via my gear !
All I need is to send a GET request to my home server and I can toggle them, tasker handles this with no problems !
What im hoping to do is trigger tasker profiles using atooma actions..
Cool that it is there...not cool that it erased all my watch faces I already created after I updated. Bummer! I don't really notice any differences...did not see any new options or styles of hands or anything. It's still an awesome app though.

[Q] Apps for Gear without Samsung Apps

Hi,
I have the Samsung Gear V700 with Tizen paared with my HTC One. Everything works perfectly now, but I want to install more Apps (for example a calculator app). I don't have the Samsung App Store because I have a HTC One. How can I get more Apps for my Gear or how can I install the Samsung App Store for my HTC One? Can someone help me, please?
Thanks
Download MobileMe by wondershare and it will let you move aps from store to gear. It's a 14 day free trial though.

Noob question: would MobileMe work? I thought its for Android only, and OP has a Tizen gear.

I would try an app like google play music, try load it and see if it works. Also load app easy uninstall because mobile me app will auto install and easy uninstall will let u remove any app u side load.
Let us kno if it works for the next person.

That's not really my question.
I don't think Wondershare would work here as it is for Android only. And OP has already upgrade to Tizen. So far from what I can see on here, no one has reported any success of installing Android apps on Tizen, whether it be through Wondershare, adb, or any other method.

Ok my bad, but good info to know I get my refurbished gear watch tomorrow and hopes it comes w android. If it does I won't update to Tizen. I am not seeing anything worth upgrading to it for. On the other hand, I know how to root and side load apps to android OS and add theme.

Don't worry about it, its all good.
Chances are your new refurb'd gear will still be on android, even if it is on Tizen, there is a way to downgrade to android, check it out in the General forum.
One thing to keep in mind is the gear has only one communication method: bluetooth. That is it will always need to be connected with your phone, be it notifications, phone calls, sms, or any kind of internet. It does not have wifi or any cell communications at all.

Yeah, no problem. I previously had a gear watch but sold and since then the gear has been updated to Tizen. I will keep it on android Sw for as long as possible since I know how to root it, flash themes and side load apps.

I had to upgrade to Tizen because I connected the Gear with my HTC One and with android I didn't received notifications on my Gear. Now with Tizen everything works. Thats the reason why I had to upgrade to Tizen.
As you said MobileGo doesn'tnwork, how can I install Samsung App Store on my Htc One? I think it's the only way to install apps on the Gear with Tizen.

[Q] Pair Gear2Neo with LG G3?

Title says it all, guys....can someone point me in the right direction of the correct version of GearManager? (I tried the Youtube link...and it appeared to brick my watch; or maybe the GearManager is screwed...GearManager *says* that it's paired (got the correct code on both Watch & Phone) ...but now the Watch keeps staying in the InitialPairing mode....
The only way I can remove the Pairing from GM is to Uninstall it completely from my phone....but I must be leaving some file, because it re-installs as still Paired to my watch...*grumbles*
Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind spending under $10 USD, there is an app on the Play Store that I used to pair mine with my G3. It's called Gear 2 Superfixer by Creatix Digital. Just download, follow the instructions precisely and you shoud be good to go. You DON'T need to root to use it. With that app, I am able to make and receive phone calls. There are limitations due to needing Samsung stuff, but it is pretty much all you need. It will have the correct version of Gear Manager as well. Good Luck.

What "limitations" does Superfixer have? Can you not DL stuff to the Watch?

I am not rooted, but this DOES work with rooted. It is encouraged as a step in the use of this app/info. Being not rooted, I did not try to download any apps AND I am using a LG G Watch at the same time. You may be able to download some, but I doubt Samsung specific apps, nor can you install the Samsung Apps apk AFAIK.

what version of gear manager did u use? I have a LG G2 that pairs fine with the Galaxy Gear 2 neo.. I use the Gear manager version 2.1.14xxxxx.. Anything from 2.2.xxxx does not work as the apk (which is only about 8mb or so) tries to download more files and it fails since this is not a samsung phone..
The drawback is that I can use the Gear as a standalone smart watch only for notifications.. I cannot get alarm, weather nor can I put S health or S voice on my phone..
*Nudge* to see if anyone has come up with a solution...

Google Fit data on watch stuck at ZERO

Since I got the phone I reset it 3 times, all this while, the Google Fit app on my phone is tracking my walks and runs correctly, but on the watch it always shows zero. I suspect the ZenFit watchapp maybe hijacking the data, but enabling disabling sensor permission doesn't seem to have any effect on any of the apps. I ideally want to disable zenfit, that I could probably achieve via ADB. And I would also want to Google Fit to run only on my watch, as I don't want battery drain on the phone. Is it feasible to set up like that? Please suggest any fixes or workarounds.
Solution
I am confident that I have finally found the universal solution. I checked my Watch Fit apk version using Advanced settings app from here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings
Found that wear fit apk version was much lower than what version phone had. Grabbed latest wear fit apk from here. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ss-tracking-1-63-09-200-android-apk-download/
Connected watch via ADB and installed manually using this command
Code:
adb install -r googleFit.apk
Voila! Everything showed up on watch instantly. Even history of days I didn't have phone fit app installed.

I'm not really confident about the inbuilt apk sync. I mean how ridiculous is that the apk wasn't updated on watch even though I installed Fit on phone 2-3 days ago and had done "Resync" also. Either the sync is so pathetic by design or the Fit apk is bugged so that it doesn't get auto pushed.
If you're not comfortable with adb via wire, try ADB over Bluetooth and maybe you can do from phone also. The command will remain the same.

Has anyone here used the app CarStream to watch Youtube?

I have wanted to move from my regular android head unit to Android Auto for a while, but some of my favorite things to listen to while driving to work don't have regular podcasts. So I have to watch them on YouTube. If anyone has used this, please let me know if it is working well. I really want to get a higher quality head unit, and this would definitely motivate me to do it. Here is a link to a video example of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AjJW0H93Y
http://www.thekirankumar.com/blog/
Yes it is working perfectly fine. I've just recently started using it. It also has inbuilt internet browser and u can also watch videos from your device's internal or sd storage. But i prefer using AnyAutoAudio app while driving because its much safer as it plays youtube on the background n u dont get distracted by the video too

"Apr 2018 : Google has blocked all custom apps on Android Auto, hence this app won't work anymore." ((
Someone figured out a solution for this? Like making an Xposed module for the Google services.
I am also interested since, from April, it does not work with my daughter's displeasure anymore
there is a solution for no-root

You can downgrade the Google Play Service to 12.21.
It works. And also using Android Auto v2.95
But I choose mirroring app Android Auto over the carstream.

If you have no root, then you have to re-install the GPS every time its update.
If not, then you won't get the app working.
If you're rooted user, then you can use the lucky patcher in my case and searching for update in GPS and then disable the package.
In my case, I used the following step below based on my experienced:
1. Open LuckyPatcher
2. Tap search box
3. Search for Google Play Services
4. Tap the Google Play Services
5. Choose Menu of Patches then click Yes.
6. Choose change the app components
7. Tap the disable components 'pm disable' method in the first row
8. Then search for update and you can disable:
com.google.android .gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity (in tab Activities)
com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingUpdateReceiver (In tab receiver)
com.google.android.lgms.update.SystemUpdateService
9. Just enjoy it! :good::good:
Already using this for months and no auto update for Google Play Services. But I'm using GPS 12.6.85 with the AA mirror and Android Auto 3.2.58 on rooted devices. And I'm not using the carstream again but using AA mirror and I can play youtube or even all of the apps on my phone in the head unit. FYI the carstream won't work in my version. I haven't tried it though.
Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!
