Not sure if this is already a known thing or not but I wanted to share my latest find.
You can install any apk onto your smartwatch! This works for any smartwatch on Android Wear. Now I won't take any credit for discovering this it all goes to the guy who posted the guide. I can't post links yet since I'm a new user but if you Google corbindavenport you should easily be able to find the guide.
In the guide there's a very detailed guide as to how to install any application, what you can and can't install and even links to apps that would add a lot of functionality to the phone like an app which rotates your other applications by setting their orientation and an app that keeps the watch on at all times or even lengthens the watch's on-time before it fades.
I've personally gotten the orientation app and temple run working on my watch. If you've already installed Microsoft's keyboard you should know what to do.
Here's to many more discoveries to come. I'm in love with this watch and it seems every day I find something new to add to the love.
Is this where you start?

Yeah, thanks for posting the link!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks to share. Finally I can set my watch to always on which in some sitution I need to show the nice watch face. And thanks much for Corbin to work it out and write very clear and detail instruction. Now I finally satisfied with my 360.
If you turn on watch always, battery will go down around 1% per minute. Just to share with others.
Since now can install any APP on watch, now I try to find a music app can work so I can push all local songs to watch to play. The google music player is not easy to control even can upload my own songs but not efficient. So far I tried different app none of them can run on watch. So if anyone fins one please let me know.

If you just want to keep the screen always on, you can download Swipify launcher from the play store, click on Quick Settings and click Screen Always On.
It actually works pretty well, because you can still turn the screen off manually (by covering with your palm), and it will automatically turn on when you look at it and stay on until you turn it off manually again...
Has this been patched with the latest Wear update? I'm trying to get this to work with my Note 4, and the part where you forward the adb to the watch
adb forward tcp:6666 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:6666
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
each command processes without errors but also no confirmation
after that the instructions suggest that doing adb devices will show the watch, but it doesn't on my end, only the phone still
so when I try to install the apk, it says "error: device not found"
so either the Note 4 is blocking this or the Wear update is

Did you enable USB debugging on your Note 4 and enable bluetooth debugging in the Android Wear app + watch itself? You could also try running 'adb kill-server' and try again.
Thanks for helping me realize I was an idiot. I totally skipped over the Enabling Debugging on the watch part. Seems to be installing now. It's been a good 5 minutes and this thing is still processing, rather than give me the error messages from before. Let's see if it works in the end
Not Working
Hello
Many thanks for postong however it does not work for me - I type adb forward tcp:6666 localabstract:/adb-hub and I get the message -
device unauthorized please check the confirmation dialog on your device
I have ADB debugging set on watch and phone and Bluetooth debugging set on watch.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

I have install ths apo before and never find out how to make always turn on works. After read your post I install again and finally find it is the first let icon in quick setting screen of it.
It works welk but the problem is this luncher always sometime crashed. So I maybe keep both solution. Since the screen on app installed by adb have one option can set.on time for how long which is nice.
Why didnt I hear about it Before !?
Actually I'm looking for a shazam like on thé moto 360... Guess I'll install the shazam apk directly on thé watch !

Music App
I'm in no way affiliated with the app, but I found "Wear Music" on the app store (it is way down the list even when searching with the exact term) that is a standalone music player, and lets you transfer music to the Moto 360. Very well done app. It's a paid app though.

Hello everyone, I'm a total noob here, and I have been searching my butt off trying to figure out how to try and get the music beta app working on the TP2. I am running froyo7. It seems that in my build. android market thinks that my phone is a Mid-Tex Cellular, when I am actually a sprint customer. Now before anyone say "search" I have I have been reading up how to edit my build.prop, watching youtube videos on how to as well, with a lot of google searching on the side. I am getting most of my info for different phones and don't know if these codes will work.
In my search the closest that I found was this quote from this thread...
"When using this ROM my device shows up as "Mid-Tex Cellular" on the Android Market.
Is there any way to change this?
..............................................
change the line in build.prop that is closest to this to this:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google-us
it should have come as this out of the box
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us"
When I look in my build.prop I can't find anything close to this?
A little help for a worthless noob would be awesome.
Well first I would simply try adding that line to your build.prop. Just because it isn't there doesn't mean you can't add it .
As for Google Music, I am a member of the service but haven't messed with the app on my phone. Only listened to it on the webUI. I guess I need to try on my phone .
Edit - did you just try installing the apk directly? Seems like a much easier solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655
Edit 2 - just installed that apk myself, works fine. For some odd reason I can only get it to show local music tho, I don't see any of my music that's "in the cloud"... hum.

hey,
check whether your google account sync in settings is syncing to google music. also for me, I had to restart my phone to get the app to realize that my google account had music beta.

I checked the sync settings, that was my first thought.
I'm leaning towards your second suggestion, since I haven't rebooted since installing it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I searched like crazy for music beta, and never came up with that thread... I am going to try it as soon as my lazy phone decides it wants to work. LOL
This is what I am talking about with the Mid-Tex Cellular, I have gone to the web site, the market etc... and it wont allow it to install. So this is why I was thinking about changing the build.prop, but I don't exactly know how to... I have searched, but I don't know if I can just add some random code from my first post and have it work?

Hello. I wrote an app to deal with a problem with the SPen on my N7000 Samsung Note. Not sure if it will work on other Note models but would appreciate someone trying it out and telling me if it works on their device as well. Please see my original posting here. Thanks
Reset Spen Pro Now Available
A low priced version of this app is now available on the Play Market. It offers additional convenience and other features including scheduled background operation and suppression of success messages. If the free version works on your device, I hope you will consider the Pro version. Thanks!

I have found that the changes I make to my Google Play settings often take several hours to actually take effect. Please check back in a while. I'd appreciate hearing if/when the changes take effect as I have no visibility here except in the US. Sorry for the delay. And thanks again for your help.
no problem I like to help, but why didnt superSU ask me if it wants root but granted it anyway and no notification @all

I presume that you are speaking to the free version off the Play Store... The only reason I can think of is that SU is configured to globally grant permission under its default access setting and its show notifications is off by default in its settings (or maybe these are just on the Reset Spen app - but I doubt that).
I didnt inatall it from PS it came with my root, but however I am clever enought to ensure I like the settings, just after root...

Sorry, I meant did you get my app (Reset Spen) from the Play Store or from this site?
In my experience, SU does come with the rooting process.
So if you look at the SU settings, what is set for the following:
(a) Enable Super User
(b) Re-Authentication
(c) Default Access
(d) Show Notifications
On My Note N7000 with SuperSu v0.99, I have:
(a) checked/enabled
(b) checked/ask for permission again if app re-installed or upgraded
(c) prompt
(d) checked/show a toast
Then in the list of apps shown in superSU:
1. Do you see Reset Spen in the list?
2. If so, is the right side # green (mine is green) or another color
3. If so, click the its list item and tell me:
(a) the setting for access (mine is now grant)
(b) the setting for notifications (mine is global default - the answer to (d) above)
Thanks.
yes you app is the free from PS
well @the settings I know that should be perfect and of course they are set (the note is my 2nd device, 1st had superuser, so it may be my 1st time with sSU, but I have xPerience)

Thanks. I am sure you are actually more experienced than I am. I just wanted the details so I could help see what is going on.
So Reset Spen has been granted su access (green).
Are you getting a success popup after tapping the Reset Spen icon? You should always get one (success or a failure error message). If you get the message and it is success, then the app should have done its thing. There is no other user interface than the popup message. If you get success, the question remains - did it help your SPen situation? Has has for many others (but not all).
Thanks for your patience in trying to help me figure out the issue(s).
the thing is that it works fine, but somehow it got root before sSU even asked, and thats what confuses me...
and I get your success msg but nothing from sSU

Ah, ein Licht aufgeht! I am sorry but I have no idea why that would be if the global grant of access is not enabled in superSU. I am glad though that my app at least produces its success message. Does it help at all with your SPen's situation? Thanks

That is odd/interesting. I actually had to write some Javascript code to execute in Firefox to manually exclude all of their listed devices from the compatibility list and then manually put the Note devices back. Can you give me 1-5 examples of devices they show as compatible that are NOT Note devices? Thanks.

Unfortunately, there are no Bluetooth 4.0 (which Bluetooth LE is a part of) libraries built into android right now. In order to connect an android device to a Bluetooth 4.0 connection, you must do it for a specific device, and that device's manufacturer must have released a bluetooth 4.0 SDK. There is an open bluetooth low-energy SDK for Android

"I want my gb 6900 g-shock watch to pair with my GS3!!! UGH"
I am a app developer and I need Bluetooth 4.0 in order to develop hardware for my own phone. As of now i'm using Apples Iphone 5 " Samsung's Competitor" to develop my apps and Hardware. This does not look good on Samsung's part. I really hope this gets figured out. The Galaxy S3 is the top selling phone as of right now. It is also my favorite in terms of use but. The fact that they advertised 4.0 support this sucks!
I am with you on that bro. Got the gb 6900 on my wrist right now but no application to really take advantage of the ble. Just in case you dont know, you can always check that the SGS3 can see the GB 6900 using the "Bluetooth Smart Scanner" application tool found through play.
I also have a Moto Droid 4 which can natively see the watch using the Bluetooth page in settings but I am afriad I have to perhaps look into the developing my own app.

The nRF Utlility from Nordic, i couldnt even download from the Play Store because my phone is marked as "SAMSUNG-SGH-I747" which is at^t's SGS3. I wish there was a way i could download the .apk file from Play Store or even somewhere on the internet.
I am going to check if Nordic has put it on their developer site.
The application i mentioned only just discovers the Bluetooth 4.0 devices and doesnt connect to them. At the moment it is just good enough for proof that Samsung indeed has a Bluetooth Low Energy module in the SGS3.
If you can give me more info on your SGS3 such as network carrier, what rom and kernel you are using, perhaps i might be able to figure out why it is not working for you.

Ha ha! Yeah i was about to head to Market Enabler but just didnt want to risk rooting my att SGS3. The phone is my lifeline at the moment and given I am travelling, i am contemplating if i should root it. I just did the root to a Droid 4 but alas i dont know the market code for japan play store. As i understand google gives each country/region a specific "market code" or a "play code"
I am sure someone has figured out and listed all the market codes for each country... in Xda just going to do that soon after i finish replying.
But hey, thanks for the tip! I really appreciate it.

Hi! yes. You would first need to make sure you have the JB official ROM upgrade from at&t through Kies or rooted and unlocked bootloader SGS3 running JB. Unfortunately, there is no official app from Casio for SGS3 as G-Shock+ exists for iOS yet, but you can download nRF Utility from market and then use the watch as a proximity device.

The nordic nRF utility does connected to my s3 and the casio gb6900.
It even was connecting better than the official G-shock app ( from the apple store) and my partners iphone 5
I'm not a developer but does it mean i have to wait until casio, android, or samsung work on that ?
Does it work with the japanes g-shock app from their store ? (this app supports a gb-6900 bt reports the description)

have you tried to clear the bond between the casio gb6900 and nRF utility and Bluetooth smart scanner or other android apps? I believe you can do that by going to the setup screen on the watch and then keep the split.reset button pressed on the watch. What other apps other than Bluetooth Smart Scanner and nRF Utility have you found on android/for sgs3 that use BLE to connect?

It even was connecting better than the official G-shock app ( from the apple store) and my partners iphone 5
I'm not a developer but does it mean i have to wait until casio, android, or samsung work on that ?
Does it work with the japanes g-shock app from their store ? (this app supports a gb-6900 bt reports the description)

I have yet to try the official G-Shock+ app for iOS. I try to stay away(physically and mentally) from any iOS device. You may be right on the on the "better connectivity " as i know Apple did screw up the Dual Mode Bluetooth chipset on the iPhone 4S...which they might have carried on with iPhone 5.
Yes, you would have to wait untill casio develops something or untill there is a API from Samsung for BLE development for Android. I think the latter one is more important as once there is a API, not only Casio can develop a full fledged app but also many individual developers. Samsung is the real sucker in this.
You hafto go into setup in watch menu then hit "start stop" twice then hold in reset. Then search for the watch again.

That is exactly what i said in my reply. Maybe you overlooked it. Oh and there is a newer version of nRF Utility. Now you can have the watch beep or find the watch as you press "Find My Tag"..and the watch beeps in case you misplace the watch. It didnt work earlier. :good:
wait en see

I've mailed casio and didn't get a satisfied answer , they only mentioned the support information on their website !
Samsungs didn't respond at all, and their developsite doesn't show any activity on that matter.
l'll just have to wait and see ....

Well thanks for the effort. Many people before you have done that and got the same response. I dont know why Samsung is not at the top of the matter on this..especially if they really want to seal the deal for SGS3.
It could be that android/google is really pushing for NFC and not so much on BLE because iOS is pushing more on BLE and not so much on NFC.
I tell you these corporate battles just are hindrances to potential opportunity to many technologies and developers. Shame on them!
Update on Android App from Casio
I have some good news to share. We should be getting an Android based app from Casio. See this link
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/49231/casio-g-shock-gb-5600a-iphone-pictures-hands-on
"It will work only with iPhone at present - because of the app support - but an Android app is in the pipeline for release later in the year."
Another site i found reporting says around end of summer.

Just to let you know Microsoft research just announce this project.
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/analogkeyboard/index.htm
Now you can handwriting on Moto 360.
Video demo is http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/?id=230860
Download is http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/3e3aaa26-804c-486e-b3d7-d394c733da90/
It is not APK but need bluetooth ADB to install. Detail install guide is in download file.
If anyone install and play it please let us know.
Or if someone can make a easy install package without involve adb command line maybe good.
I tried it out. It works relatively well but the big problem is that there isn't really any apps that are designed to take text input. For example, in hangouts, you can only do voice reply and canned responses, there's no option to enter custom text to actually pull up the keyboard.

Not sure is wear messanger for sms support it or not. I have it but install this package is too complex which I have issue on adb environment. Not sure is it possible to make a install package for phone to install.

Nice find. the download link isnt working
I'd install this otherwise and report back if I could
Link is back up for those that are interested. It's a real pain to install but fun to play with. There is no way to respond to texts with it or anything, completely experimental (from all that I have gathered). That being said, it's not too bad to use and pretty accurate!

So it doesnt work with wear messenger?
I just installed it and it works quite well, it looks very promising but unfortunately it can't be used when replying to a notification such as a Hangouts or Whatsapp notification. You are still stuck with the voice or limited canned responses. I think it will work with any application that uses text boxes though. Hopefully the Android Wear 2.0 (or whatever version they will call it) which will be released on October 15 will bring some way to use the keyboard when replying to notification cards.
Installed it yesterday work well work with wear messenger without problems

Thanks. Good to know it work well with wear messenger. You may can write mail to their team to report battery issue.
Can someone help? I am at the point in the instructions where my phone is connected via USB though ADB and have the bluetooth debugging on (and usb debugging on on both devices). But the command
adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub; adb connect localhost:4444 does not work.
Anyone know what I have to do to get that command to function?
Thanks.
Hey,
you have to seperate the command. First enter the first part until the semicolon and then the remaining connect prompt.

You sure about that? On my 360, when I send a test text to myself and choose the option to respond with Wear Messenger, it just shows a checkmark as if I sent something already but never lets me respond in any way, let alone type using this keyboard app.
Anyone else??
Yes I am sure I send sms and hangouts without problems but now I uninstalled keyboard because it battery eater

Then why for me and others does it only show a checknark icon and then nothing happens, it doesnt let you input text when you try to reply to a hangouts sms with the 'reply with WM' option?
Can anyone else confirm? Because this works really well and I want to be able to use it..
Also, i cant imagine why this would cause battery drain. Wonder if its really due to it or not..
Do you enabled keyboard and set it
Yes I choose an option answer with WM and after that in wm I have a mic icon in one side and keyboard on other and yes I actually answered with keyboard

need help installing to 360
I'm a noob and really am not familiar with using adb. Does anyone know of a video somewhere showing step by step instructions on how to install this on my 360? I did a search online with no luck. Thanks!
Pretty damn good for a first beta. It does seem to use a little bit more battery, but I still have no issue getting through a full day. Watch has been off charger since 7:30AM, and it's now 11:32PM and I have 27% left. I can't wait to see some updates! I actually used it at work today several times. Quite handy when I need to be audibly discreet.
I didn't think a keyboard on a watch was even a sensible idea, but I'm prepared to give this a shot.
Finally got this installed. IT'S FREAKING AMAZING with Wear Messenger. WOW! I have Textra working again so my notifications work great. I can read the whole conversation and send the messages and they update as I send. The swiping is pretty darn accurate. This just makes me love my MOT0360 even more .
Hi, so I am handcuffed by my work to use an iphone. I couldn't stand the apple watch, so finally upgraded to to the Galaxy watch. I love this watch. Disappointed at the limited apps available, which i understand fully. I am curious if there is a way to sideload these apps? Particularly the myroundpro watch app.
Really appreciate any feedback.
Regards,

I don't understand the problem here. Is it that your iphone is locked down and cannot access the Apple app store?
sdb connect ip : port then youre connected to watch but buletooth off and on same wifi then you can do more

I'm not sure sideloading is the answer. I know that's the question that was asked but the application he mentioned is on the galaxy wearable store and has an iOS companion app on the iOS app store. That's why I asked my questions above. What exactly is he trying to resolve by sideloading? It doesn't make sense.
I didn't go in depth but once you connect you have to root then a little easier tinzen has dev exe to Port apps on dev website I've been trying to do with Spotify lite made for gear not Samsung 2nd B's market we get non-samsung owners
i wasn't trying to be a [email protected]@@, but ive ported and signed different apps on my watch this thread will help multiple links to tinzen dev and it works look at post #53 we need all the help we can on watch https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm.../questions-sideloading-apps-tweaking-t3917082 hope this helps if not ill try to help if i can

We just need to ascertain what the actual problem is. OP seems to have gone AWOL anyway
