Hello Guys,
Any update on the possibility to install apps on the android wear paired with an iphone?
I I thought that after finding the way to make google maps work with ios it would have been easier to find other apps (ie: Runtastic, Nav .....)
Any news?
Thanks
Nope,
still only sideloaded apps or standalone apps installed through adb is able i think

Hello.
I'm planning on buying a lg g watch. I currently have an iPhone, and will be getting an android phone for sure in 6 months (iPhone bill still goes for 6 months). I was wondering, can I install apps on my friends android phone, install them to my lg g watch, and then when I go away, still use those apps.
Like, calculator, small games etc..?
I understand I need a phone to set them up, and that, I have. I also understand I can't get notifications on my watch without the phone. but apps installed on the watch like a calculator, can be used without the phone, or not?
Thanks!
I don't have an Android Wear watch (waiting for the 360 here in Brazil) but I think you can access those apps that don't need constant connection to the phone like a compass, calculator... Your watch will show that is disconnected, but if you scroll down to the start option, I guess the apps will be there.
Yes, il it possible for the stand-alone application (calc, compass....).

Can you list some standalone apps?
How do you install apps on the Moto 360? I just got it for Xmas and don't know how to uninstall apps

through ADB :
"adb install application.apk"
Hey, I'd like to know some apps that you install using the phone, but which can be used when the phone is disconnected (not with you), so run natively on the watch.
Like, I install app A when I have my friends android phone, when I go home, I still want to use app A. I know there is a possibility for this as google said it. I know of the 2 apps: wear calc and wear compass. But surely, there should be more right? Anyone know some Watch-specific/native/standalone apps?
Thanks!
Have you seen this list

Hi, I recently got a Moto 360 as a present. But sadly, I soon came to the realization that you can't run Android Wear without GAPPS installed (I'm running CM10.2). I'm not going to install Google's spyware just so I can use a watch.
Are there other Apps that work with AndroIid Wear Devices? My smartphone does support Bluethooth 4 and BLE. A little bit digging showed me that some dedicated people got some functionality to work on their Iphone without Google Services. Alos when I install the Pebble App it recognzes my phone (but can not connect)
I really just want to get notifications to my watch, control music , set an alarm and maybe get my pulse data on my phone. Are there third party apps that can do that?
The person who ported the Android Wear functionality to Iphone has a Github repository of his Iphone app under shiitakeo/android_wear_for_ios . If there is no option I will have to write my own app and I'm going to orient myself on what he did there.
So you are looking for an app to connect your android phone to the iOS wear connect app on moto360? And not android wear app?
I'm looking for a third party android app that lets me connect my Moto 360 with my Phone aCyanogenmod 10.2 without gapps installed.
Without gapps I can't install the offical Android Wear app. Taking a peak in the IOS world shows me that it' s possible to do that with a device that supports Bluethooth 4.0 and BLE. The Pebbles app also recognizes my watch but does not let me connect it, this tells me that they must use a similiar protocol or maybe even the same. My question is, if someebody already did write such an App, that lets you connect your Android phone with your smart watch (without installing gapps!), or if I have to do this on my own. (I'm a software developer but never did anything with Bluethooth or much in Android.)
I'd also like to find a non-gapps solution for this. Have you found one?
Apple spies for Facebook. You'll sell your integrity no matter what.
Is there a solution to this? Maybe remapping a button on the controller? I know there is a pretty simple way to do this in Kodi, but I need to make this work in other apps, such as emulators. How will I be able to manage settings and options without it?
This has been discussed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/3-dots-menu-t3067105. If you're running Android 5.1 or higher, most sideloaded apps won't have accessible menus. You'll need to email the developers of the apps you use to request that they restore menus for their apps on Android TV devices running Android 5.1 or higher. Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) won't restore the missing menus so the only other possibility is that an Xposed module such as the one at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-force-3-dots-menu-t3181622 may serve that purpose in the future.
Thanks for clarifying. Why did they remove it? So dumb...
I don't know why they made that change (and I agree that it's a lame decision) but it seems that Google started enforcing stricter material design requirements on apps as of Android 5.1 and higher on Android TV. That's why I suggest emailing the developers of the apps you use to see if they can update their apps to properly support Android TV. As I discovered with DroidMote Server months ago, this problem can be worked around with app updates. It's not a sure thing that developers will agree to do so for the Android TV platform that they may not officially support but it's worth a try. Which emulators are you planning to use? I don't think that Robert Broglia's excellent .emu apps are affected by this problem.
I have used yongzh's emus until now. But I found replacements so I'm fine for the moment.
Hello, it is highly possible that you guys already know about Android Wear launcher as an apk that was extracted out of the emulator as mentioned here on Android Police.
I downloaded it on my Intex iRist and tried pairing it with the official Android Wear app by google installed on my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. The app said that the watch is connected and all went well until the time the app started to check for updates where the app was stuck. I manually closed the app and re-opened it, then check for updates screen was gone and now I got the screen that you get when you connect to an android wear watch except that it was still "trying to connect" to my watch phone.
My question is that how to extract the launcher from the emulator at the first place? Then as it is possible, can we not extract the latest launcher so that may skip past the check for updates screen? I see that nobody has done it yet. Lastly, even if it gets connected, as it is just a launcher and not the whole OS, I will not be able to use it as a regular android wear, can I? Well, I am just concerned about getting the android wear watch faces on my watch phone, so even if I get only that part of the android wear os on my device through the launcher, I am satisfied.
P.S. I know getting an android wear smartwatch is the best way to get what I wish to achieve, I am just curious about this way. So please reconsider it if you're going to ask me to get a proper device. Thank you.
