[TOOL] Android Wear APK Tools: Sideload and Uninstall Apps to Android Wear

Android Wear APK Tools:
A GUI application which allows you to install any APK straight to your watch (via adb) or uninstall any non-protected package directly. Much more convenient than doing it through the adb command line.

Connect your watch to your computer, enable ADB Debugging on your phone and your watch, and make sure ADB and the drivers are set up on your computer.

Doesnt work for me.
I opened it, clicked connect to watch, then it told me that it has connected, i can see the list of all the apps that i have installed on my phone. But android wear doesnt tell me that its connected.
I tried to uninstall an app, then it gave me an error. Then i tried installing an app, and it just stayed on "installing app, please wait" for a very very long time.

So, apparently you must have ADB already on the system path or in the main directory of this application and it must be accessible with the command "adb"

I am experiencing similar errors with the app. It tells me I am connected to my watch. I can't see any apps on the list. When trying to install an app it stops on "Installing app, Please wait..."

root required?
Does this require that the Android Wear device be rooted?

Try opening the PDF on your phone instead.

For me, I connect to watch alright, I see the apps list, but uninstalling takes forever.. :/
Much easier to use adb command. meh

My watch is detected by the pc but I see an empty directory ....and if I try to copy a file no way ....

Any idea ?

So the windows 10 users have no chance to enjoy this ???

[FIXED] GoogleNow launcher as default launcher on Fire HD 6/7

After rooting and updating to the latest 5.2, I wanted to get rid of the amazon launcher and use the native GoogleNow launcher. The problem was that I could not find a way to allow the GoogleNow launcher to be set as the default. I found ways to make 3rd party launchers the default launcher, but not GoogeNow. After hours of searching and reading, I got an idea of what was going on, and attempted a fix. Turns out that fix worked and I now have the GoogleNow launcher as the default launcher for my Fire HD 7 running FireOS 5.0
Assuming you've already installed the GoogleNow Launcher and Google Search from the Play Store, the fix is to adb shell into your device and run the following code as su:
Code:
pm enable com.google.android.launcher
Providing you have root and su'd, you will see the following:
[email protected]:/ # pm enable com.google.android.launcher
pm enable com.google.android.launcher
Package com.google.android.launcher new state: enabled
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At this point you can just hit you home button and it should prompt you to choose which launcher you'd like to use. Choose google and always. Reboot your device to be sure it sticks.
{

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now "OK google" will work from the launcher screens and even the GoogleNow cards and far left screen will work. I have not tested without root, so I do not know if it requires root or not
** In my situation, the "OK google" voice settings is missing the option to have the voice command from any screen. The only option I have is to turn it on and off from the search bar. I am trying to remedy that so if anyone has any ideas/advice/fixes for the missing "from any screen" option, please let me know.

Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Hi,
great guide!
one thing was missing though that made it not work for me
you have to do
su
pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
next it will ask you which launcher you want to use.
Thanks

Can you explain the steps of how to adb shell into the device. I do have the Google Now Launcher, the Play Store and Google Search installed.
I just need to steps to get this installed.
Thank you in advance and for all the information.

I know this is an old post and partially off topic, but here is how I made this work using Nova Launcher on my 5th Gen rooted Fire tablet using ADB.
Install the Google search app then Then;
Disable the unified search so it doesn't try to use the stock kindle search widget
Code:
adb pm disable com.amazon.kindle.unifiedSearch
Add Nova's google now widget
Press Mic icon and then follow through prompts to configure google now.

This was the missing piece for me as well. Worked perfectly, thank you both!

Rooted....but lost
I rooted my kindle fire 7 last night. I love it. That being said, I wasn't pleased to find that the ads on lock screen were not removed. Which leads me to believe I did something wrong. However, everything else works. I downloaded all the necessary apps, then came to the launcher ran into the same problem you did.
The part where you said "the fix is to adb shell into your device and run the following code as su:"
That is where you lost me. I don't know what you mean by that. Possible to dumb it down lol. Where do I put that code? How EXACTLY do i complete the process? Thank ypou for any help. What is "su'd" ? System updated?
" Turns out that fix worked and I now have the GoogleNow launcher as the default launcher for my Fire HD 7 running FireOS 5.0

I'm confused still with the "su" command you're telling me to do. Should I do this on Linux, then? What should I do if I'm on Windows?

tb-debloater, personalised debloating script for lenovo tab devices (tested tb-8504f)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
this is tb-debloater.
a simple script to free your device of bloatware.
DISCLAIMER
I am not held responsible for any damages that might occur when using this script.
Just because it worked for me doesn't mean it will work for everyone else. Use at your own risk!​What is tb-debloater?
tb-debloater is a well documented script that will easily disable all the bloatware that your Lenovo tablet would come pre-installed with.
Things that you should know before using this script:
This is a personalised script to suit myself (YoMarshMellow).
The script is easily editable to suit your needs.
YoMarshMellow's script uninstalls 36 bloatware applications.
This script only was tested on TB-8504F, could work on other TB models.
Script tested on Android 8.1.0, could work on Android 7.x.x
Root is not required for this script, but a Windows PC is required with ADB drivers installed.
This is a batch script, so it will only work for Windows.
The script has a troubleshooter guide to help you find the solution to the problem if the script fails.
This script has an easy to use UI. Nothing to be confused about here.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MIGHT OCCUR.
Downloads:
tb-debloater: http://www.mediafire.com/file/m8st4vn7px8u101/tb-debloater.zip/file
All the drivers have already been provided for you in the script folder. However you can download from here if it is outdated:
platform-tools: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
usb-driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
universal adb drivers: https://adb.clockworkmod.com
How to install the drivers:
Due to a limitation on XDA I cannot list all of the images needed to guide the installation of the drivers.
However, you can visit the troubleshooter.html file located in the base directory of the script folder.
What you need to do to ensure the script will be successful:
Make sure you only have ONE device connected to your PC.
If you are logged into a Lenovo Account, log out.
This is because this uninstalls the Lenovo ID APK and all of it's services, rendering the account infomation on your device useless.
On your device, go to Settings > System > About device > Build number || tap it 7 times until you get a toast message saying "You are now a developer!"
Go to Settings homepage, Settings > System > Developer Options > USB Debugging || turn it on, accept RSA fingerprints if prompted.
Make sure you have ADB drivers and ADB clients in the same folder of this script.
Simply start the batch file by double-clicking it. If a command prompt window opens and then closes straight away then follow the steps below:
1. In File Explorer, go to the folder destination of this script.
2. Press Shift + Right Click in an empty space to open the tools menu, and click on 'Open Command Prompt window here' or 'Open PowerShell window here'
If you have opened Command Prompt (CMD), type in 'tb-debloat.bat' || sit back and relax as the script frees your device of bloatware...
If you have opened Windows PowerShell, type in '.\tb-debloat.bat' || sit back and relax as the script frees your device of bloatware...
NOTE: You will have to accept the RSA fingerprints that will be prompted on your tablet during the process. You cannot continue without pressing OK.
NOTE: If you see any errors on the script, it is likely that the app is not installed on your device at all or your computer has lost connection to your device.
3. After script, go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all 'xx' apps || check that all the listed apps in script are either disabled, uninstalled or both.
If not, disable/uninstall them.
NOTE: This script only disables the applications due to root limitations. You will need to uninstall some manually after, some can only be disabled.
NOTE: Some system apps may show up as 'Not installed for this user'. Do not ignore this, the application is still enabled, but only for other users. You should disable them.
Visit the troubleshooter.html file if your script has failed.
What you need to know before editing the script:
You must do your research on the package files and check if it is safe to remove before adding them to this list.
For example, adding 'com.android.phone' to this list will cause the tablet for force crash and boot into the recovery menu with a warning.
The only way to get out of this looped error is to factory reset. I learnt this the hard way...
I recommend using Notepad++ but you can use any text editor you want, as long it can read batch files (the stock notepad.exe will work too).
I seriously wouldn't edit or remove any other command other than 'adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <com.package.name>', doing so can render the script useless.
Any command you shouldn't edit will be neatly annotated for you in the batch script.
Commands in the script that you SHOULD NOT edit:
'cd assets'
'disclaimer.vbs'
'adb devices'
'rsa-fingerprint.vbs'
'endscript_msg.vbs'
'troubleshooter.html'
Any other command in the script are perfectly fine to edit. You just have to make sure that the command has to follow the form of 'adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <com.package.name>'
Something went wrong? Device not booting?
Try booting into recovery by making sure the device is turned off and then holding POWER + VOLUME UP until you boot into the recovery screen.
In the recovery menu, navigate to the Wipe data option with the volume buttons, and select with the power button, confirm 'Yes'.
Note: This will revert the script too if you were not rooted in the first place.
Still not working?
If your device's firmware is totally messed up, you can reflash it with Lenovo's LMSA app on Windows, it's easy to use and a lifesaver.
However, you can't downgrade back to Nougat for rooting purposes because it only provides you with the latest firmware.
Download Lenovo LMSA application: https://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/downloads/ds101291

Thanks for this!
I commented out the following 2 lines, otherwise I couldn't create new multi-user accounts:
:: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.wantjoin.settings
:: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.wantjoin.childmode.ctrl
Also, I re-ran the script for each user account, which worked well. Android user account numbering goes 0, 10, 11, 12 ...
so change every instance of --user 0 to --user 10 or --user 11, etc and re-run the script.

Keep it up man!
Thanks for this wonderful work!!

Don't want 10.x update... how to remove notification?

Hi folks,
I've got the international version (not T Mobile) and everything has been working fine on the final 9/P version. I want to delay the upgrade to 10 until it has settled down a bit more. How do I remove the notification that there is an update waiting?

Freeze System Update with Titanium Backup.

I do it like this. I go to settings> updates> tap on it. It looks for the update, says there is a new update, then close out the screen.
The notification goes away, until the next time you reboot the phone. The update is still there to be downloaded & installed, but,
the notification goes bye bye.

There is one more way which i used to block update notification. It uses adb commands and no more update notifications even after reboot.
1. Usb debugging on
2. Computer with adb drivers
Open command window in pc and connect your oneplus and run these commands one by one.
Commands are
Adb devices (for checking device is connected)
Adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oneplus.opbackup
exit
Done. No more update notification.

AndroidStudio_SourceCode-com.markus.firetools.zip attached, so everyone can see what this app actually does.

I've got root but can't install com.markus.firetools.apk. "The package conflicts with an existing package of the same name" ?

Then you have installed a old Version.
Try to uninstall.
If you have flashed LauncherReplacer.zip you must delete /system/priv-app/Newsettingsroot

I tried 'pm uninstall com.markus.firetools' and got the message 'Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]' I used Remote adb shell to do this.
I tried using CX file explorer to delete the 'Fire TV Settings' app but it indicated that I was trying to delete a system app. CX file explorer had superuser privileges granted by Magisk.
Is there another way to uninstall the app ?

Have you flashed my LauncherReplacement.zip ???
try
adb install -r com.markus.firetools.apk
or
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -r /system/priv-app/NewSettingsRoot
reboot

AndroidStudio_SourceCode-com.markus.firetools.zip attached 1st Post, so everyone can see what this app actually does.
Not like some other App / Guides , where you don't really know what it does.

I tried the adb -r command and received this message
adb: failed to install com.markus.firetools.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.markus.firetools signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!]
I flashed the zip in TWRP.

If you flashed the Zip , then you dont need the new one.
The Zip also works.

The new zip worked. Thanks for all your efforts and swift response to my queries.

Great work thanks. Out of interest is there any way for me to change the firetools order / possibility you may change it?
For 1 reason or another I need to use reboot more than most of the menu it would be nice if it was either the first option or just below sleep instead of right down the bottom.
I know I can press and hot select and play for 5 seconds but this would be a nice alternative option.
Thanks

Wow that's amazing. Thank you that is genuinely appreciated

I have root but when I change to enable custom launcher it reboots but it's still on the stock amazon launcher .I have granted full rights to magisk and it is enable in its settings .

Try
adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.firehomestarter
pm disable com.amazon.tv.launcher

Version 1.1 for Test.
With and Without Launcher Icons.

Can confirm this works great! I have one problem only, the Settings App sometimes doesn't open the setting I've selected the first time, it just closes itself, but the settings menu doesn't open. When this happens, I have to pick the setting multiple times/try opening other settings and it fixes itself in a few tries.

I'm currently on 1.0, could 1.1 potentially have a fix for this?
I'm on 2nd gen stick, version 5.2.7.3 rooted, btw.

Try this Version 1.2
But this has no launcher toogle and no system Settings link, you must use the Launcher Icon.
( i Think one of this option makes the Problem maybe )

I no more have an 2nd Gen Stick.
Currently i test a FireTV Stick lite.
Without root i can Switch the Launcher and access the important System Settings with a Simple App.
Launcher can be disable with 2 ADB commands.
