yes you can install it without any problem :good:
So I was loving the look of the SW3, especially when Runkeeper released their beta version. However now I read that offline music is more difficult than it really needs to be?
Why haven't Sony got their own music player on there, surely it makes sense that a lot of people are going to want to use the watch for this?
Do you have to use Google Music or is there an alternative? Seems like everytime I decide this is the time to buy one, something else puts me off.
I use Spotify on the phone and then I control it from the watch. I have also uploaded about 100 song into the watch and tried to play it from watch to Sony SBH-20 bluetooth headphones but the sound is sometimes laggy although the distance between watch and receiver is under 1 meter. I have no another BT receiver except car radio which I was not able to connect (message Device is full - ?)
Has anybody similar issue?

I was browsing through the online manual of the SW3 and found the following tidbit:
To download a playlist using the Walkman® application
Make sure the battery level of your SmartWatch 3 is 70% or higher.
From the main application screen on your Android™ phone or tablet, find and tap Walkman.
To open the Walkman® home screen menu, find and tap Walkman.
Tap Playlists, then select the playlist that you want to download to your SmartWatch 3.
Drag the slider beside download to wearable in the appropriate direction to turn on the download playlist function. A card indicating the download progress appears on your SmartWatch 3.

My Walkman application doesn't support this yet, so probably an update of the Walkman application should take care of this.
If you sideload ES File Explorer (using the APK and ADB), you can load music using ADB and play it with the ES File Explorer built in music player, it works surprisingly well.

Hello,
I recently updated to Android 8 with CarbonROM on my Xperia Z3C. I used the Sony Apps Enabler Magisk Module to download the Sony Music app from the Play Store but I noticed that the music notification doesnt change color depending on the album art. It works fine when I use Spotify. Is that feature not present in the Sony Music app? Or is there a mod or something that enables it?
I have Sony music version 9.4.0.A.0.1
Edit: I updated to version 9.4.1.A.1.1 and it still doesnt work

Hmm, really weird. I also use Spotify and Sony Music and it worked perfectly fine (both on lineageos and stock). However, that was only with oreo (8.0/8.1). Now I'm on Pie and, gotta say, I do miss that feature.
