Remove useless wear apps? - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do you remove useless android wear apps?
E.g. my LG G Watch has no heart rate sensor, yet I have all the stupid heart rate apps on the watch and get the heart rate reminders. WTF?

This app will do it under its menu!

Sorry don't know how that got truncated. It's called "Advanced Settings" on the Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings

You can try this app :
"Root Essentials"
Search it in playstore or u can see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3376212

Thanks - found it. Seems to be pretty worthless though.
Selected one of my apps in Play Store, clicked share, selected EMail.
Creates a text note saying something like "Check out this app:" with a link to the App Store for that app.
Thought it might at least send the .apk or something.
And no - I did not find any way to add apps to the list of targets.
Use myappsharer can send apps via Bluetooth or drop box

Now that root is achieved, many will freeze or remove stock VZW apps. Are there any resources on which apps are safe to freeze? This may have been asked elsewhere, but this is likely to be a recurring question and a thread in Q&A could be useful. Any information would be appreciated.

That is interesting information, but I don't believe that article specifies what is safe to remove (just what the consider removing). Also, the ATT framework may not behave exactly as the VZW might, which is my specific question.
Edit: consider using titanium backup and freeze as an alternative to uninstalling entirely. Should give you the option to restore if needed.

Just use boot browesr or something similar and go to /system/app and rename the bloat. Change myverizon.apk to myverizon.bak for example. That way it it cause issues you can just change it back.

I recommend using titanium backup pro so you could backup the apps in case you ever need to restore then or run into an issue

MM update. Default apps issue.

Hi guys
Just installed the MM update for my Note 4. Didn't notice any difference at first, then discovered that Allcast no longer streams to my Xbox DLNA, and also now in the gallery whenever you click on a video it gives you the choice of apps to open it with ONCE then automatically sets that as the default, so if I want to open a video in a different player I now have to go into app manager and clear the defaults. Then I can open with the app I want. But that gets set as default too so it never ends.
This is really REALLY annoying.
Please does anyone know of a fix around this?
Many thanks.
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Indeed a very annoying update all around!
No fix, but an app called 'Better open with'.

+1 for this, been using it for years: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith
Basically you set it as the default app for opening a particular file type or link, and then within this app you can choose which other apps are allowed to open said files or links. You can also have a countdown to open with a default choice, giving you a few seconds to choose an alternative.
Been meaning to ask this since I upgraded to MM, always thought that this was a stupid MM feature, but now I see this is a bug right?
Thanks to that app anyway, don't like unnecessary apps, but still better than annoyance caused by waste of time.
It's not a bug, it's a further stupidity from Samsung. You can find this so called feature nobody wants on other devices as well (Note 5 and S7).
Thanks guys. Will try that app out.
This is without doubt the worst software update yet, so much to complain about!

Turn off screen when using micro hdmi cable

Hi, I am currently using a micro hdmi cable, it works great, but I would like the screen on the tablet to shut off while I am casting onto the larger monitor. Is this possible? There is an app in the PlayStore that can do this but it requires root, which I dont want to do. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Hm, I am not sure but I dont think so.
Do you have the name of the app please?
Hi,
Name of the app.. PLEASE.... =)

Hi, I mentioned this app more of a reference and an explanation of what I want to accomplish. If I was rooted I would have given it a try as the Yoga Book is still on 6.0, and will be for some time if I am to believe posts regarding Lenovo Android updates.
Sent from my Lenovo YB1-X90F using Tapatalk
I yearn for the same thing. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible without root. Hopefully it'll be added in a future update. HDMI out without a way to turn the primary display off is useful in very few situations. One of those odd oversights by Lenovo.

battery Life on H872

For a while i was getting bad battery life due to using a LG app called LG Aura. Now that it's gone I've been seeing great battery life on my TMO G6 (H872).
I'm using it as general use. Not gaming.
Was playing with google cardboard.
Streaming YouTube & Netflix.
I'm impressed overall.
I usually get about 3 hours screen on time, 4 if I'm lucky. I use the doze app too and doesn't do much. Little bit of chrome, Snapchat, some light games.

I'd be happy to.
What seems to be the issue? I'm assuming you have both apps installed?
Then you'll want to force close both. Then, you want to go to Settings - Fingerprints & Security - Phone Administrators and then check make sure LG Service is active.
Then force close everything (recents clear all) and run Package disabler.. It should work now. Simply check the box to the right of the app you'd like to disable. If you press the app name it will also show you more info about the app and give you the ability to uninstall it there.
I understand the Package Disabler app has been removed from the Play Store but you seem to have it.
I'll also upload a copy of both in the next post in case someone else would like to try them as well..

Well, it seems the app is back in the PlayStore... However I already paid and this isn't showing that I paid.
But only $1.49 for it. I'd say do it and make sure you keep a backup with LG Backup..
