Guys, be sure to update your Moto360 to software version 1.3 before pairing it to iOS. The 1.1 version has critical battery drain problem.

Found this on Reddit written by RobertJP for watchfaces:
First I found one to try LCARS Android Wear Watch Face LCARS Android Wear Watch Face
Then I used the Evozi APK downloader http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ to get the phone APK
Extracted the APK (like a zip file)
Found the APK meant for the watch (android_wear_micro_apk.apk) in the extractedapk > res > raw folder
Enabled ADB on the watch (Settings > About > tap Build Number I think 7 times which enabled Developer Options)
Swipe back to previous page, Open Developer Options
Tap ADB debugging to enable
Tap Check icon to enable it
You can now type adb shell on your computer which will give you a card on your watch to allow it
Once you have a prompt you can type exit and hit enter to get back to your computers prompt
From there you just type:
adb install /location/of/android_wear_micro_apk.apk
Once it is installed it will say so on the watch and will be available in the watch face selection carousel
I have not be able to get my watch talking with my PC yet after enabling debugging over USB.
Need to find more info.

you cannot at this time

Obviously connecting a moto 360 with adb to a pc is mission impossible due to the iQ connectors... we would need to plug a USB cable to be able to push apk into the watch.
I know users did it already with watch makers faces and the mickey mouse apk but for other watches, I would love to have them on my moto 360 connected to my iPhone....
I always loved the m360 and I have bought my watch because of the new official ios app, I didnt want to buy a watch without official link with my iPhone...
I have to admit that tried the aerlink method with custom watch faces loaded from an Andorid phone and I also saw what the watch can do (as it's very limited so far under iOS) and the only thing I can say is that: HURRY UP GOOGLE!!! to let custom watch face to be installed on the ios APP !! I also hope we will find easy tweaks to push android APK's to the watch...

Is there any development of the iOS wear app? I think it is needed. Aerlink is an alternative meanwhile.

This may sound silly, but how do you connect the watch to the computer?
It has no port...
Bluetooth ADB?

Aren't you supposed to hook it up to the charger, then hook the charger's usb up to a computer? I'm pretty sure it will be recognized like this since that's how the LG G Watch was recognized.

The 360 has wireless induction charging, and no port or contacts. I think you do ADB over Bluetooth, but beyond that I know nothing, so I'm just gonna shut up [emoji33]
Would love to have a keyboard though, so I hope someone smarter than me can write up a tutorial if it works [emoji106]

No, we're aware of that, my friend, lol. However, how does the Qi charger charge? It needs a power source....and that source plugs in via USB to wall charger or USB to computer. So...USB to computer...ADB . Same setup just different mode of charging for LG G Watch and Moto 360, but someone is holding a watch for me at BestBuy. So, after I pick it up and install everything, I will try this and post back for you guys.
Has to be done over Bluetooth, here you can find directions https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/bt-debugging.html
I'll try in the morning.
Phone just died, will test in about an hour.
Edit: I'm having a problem connecting to the watch with Bluetooth debugging. I'm at the step where I enter "adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub; adb connect localhost:4444" into adb but it just runs the list of adb commands as though I entered something invalid.
Edit 2: Figured it out. Unfortunately, no go. Well... I guess that depends on how tolerant you are of how tiny the letters are and how finicky it is to type with them. I messed with the different lettering options and sizes and this was the best I could get. I didn't try it with Wear Messenger as it's paid.
First thing that comes up when accessing the settings. Looked promising.

An onscreen keyboard may make the difference between me returning the watch or keeping it...
BTW, the Google keyboard looked good, would it be functional?
no I haven't got any word yet, I'll post here as soon as I get an apk and instructions!

[Q] Official Remote App??

I keep on reading that the Fire TV Stick is supposed to have this dedicated free app to control be able to control it from your android device (and ios coming soon...blah blah) and use voice search from your phone/tablet also....but I can't find where to download it!! Don't know if it will even work to Fire TV but it would be pretty dumb if they didn't allow it too!!
Anybody know how and where to get this app??
Had my fire tv at my girlfriends house and her little crazy dog has destroyed 2 remotes so I bought her a chromecast and brought the Fire TV back home. I leave 1tb backup drive connected to the usb to play movies through xbmc and everytime I leave the house and come back I have to disconnect it, plug in wireless keyboard, start droidmote server, reconnect drive and remount using stickmounte...it's a waste of a whole 60 seconds but still a pain!!
I don't believe it has been released yet. Still two more weeks or so until the fire tv sticks start shipping, I would expect to see it before then.

Why you must start droidmote server manually ? It should start automatically if in settings you have checked auto start on boot.

I see that one can install the server on Windows. But can the client be installed on Windows. Planning on switching from an Android table to a full Windows 8.1 Tablet in the future. But could not find a reference of Windows 8.1 being the client to control the FTV. Not so much for games but mouse & keyboard inputs.

Zulu,
Any plans to get droidmote on the Amazon App Store? I would be happy to pay a premium on it there since I could use my amazon coins to buy it....
I would like a lot, but I can not for now for a question of the security of the app. It is not easy to be an Android app developer, despite the applications are very cheap, there is always someone ready to rip you off and because of this, there is often more work to do on the protection that on the app.
I think the Google Play should be installable for FREE on any Android devices. (like the Amazon app store) I do not understand why it should be sold by GMS license from Google if it contains apps that are owned by the developers. I hope that this serious problem of the Android world will be solved soon.

Any idea how to force the setting menu to open with a wireless keyboard?? I see the 3dot menu on the google play pics but don't have it on the app on my fire TV...even downloaded the 3dot xposed module but no luck! I know that the fire stick remote app is officially being released tmrw but really like this app and is probably still gonna be more useful than the official remote app!
Never mind!! Was able to open it with droidmote!

Yes you can use the menu button of DroidMote Client.
Aside from that, I wanted to make a clarification:
The circle icon that you see when you move the mouse, is not a DroidMote stuff. If you use the Server on a standard Android device, you can see the classic mouse icon.
Instead the TouchMouse (for apps without mouse support, selectable by client settings ) is a DroidMote stuff and is the red transparent circle. But it is another thing.
Why your FireTv show the circle instead of the classic mouse icon ?
Because those who built the firmware has changed this icon replacing it with a really ugly in the Android Framework.
Where is the mouse icon inside the Android Framework ?
You can read this link to know, but do not try to change if you're not an expert on the Android OS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478523
P.S.
Android is an operating system that is constantly changing and all the apps within it change so fast-paced.
To have a good remote control, you need a lot of work and testing on many applications during the evolution of the OS.
For example with Android Lollipop, Android has been completely changed from the ground up, and it took a lot of work to adapt to it.
A good application for remote control, can only exist if a developer follows her and love her everyday, adapting to all the innovations, to apps and games that constantly change.
This is what I do every day.

Sorry for not being clearer - when I opened the app ALL I would see on the screen was the "big red circular button" in the center of the screen - the one that says off, not the cursor. But after using my keyboard to "click" the "button" and turn the service on I was able to use the client app to open up the setting and set it to start on boot

When you saw the red circle was because, inadvertently, in the settings of the Client you have selected the TouchMouse without selecting a correct TouchProfile.
The TouchMouse is useful when an app not have the mouse support. In all other circumstances, you can always use the mouse as rightly made at a later date.

[Q] Moto 360 working with iPhone

Hello to the community. I am sorry if i am posting to the wrong thread. Is it possible to add watchfaces at the Moto 360, but using it with an iPhone?
Yes you can, but it is limited
I think there are 2 ways of adding watch faces: adb installation by cable or installing through another android phone.
first one, installing with adb needs an interface cable, made by yourself to connect the watch to the computer and install watchfaces.
second one, needs an another android phone paired, and your ios phone must be paired with aerlink.
in this way, you can install apps or watchfaces.
First one is very time consuming to make if you do not have made a cable or sth similar to that before, and
second one does not allow you to reply mails, or have some icons of certain applications.

Since I am a new user to xda, I cannot write down the urls, but I think if you search
aerlink for ios on youtube, you may find it.
many of the videos tell you to install aerlink to your watch from android phone, and install an app called BLE Utility from iphone,
but the app called BLE Utility is not on appstore and you have to buy an app called Aerlink from the appstore to use this way
all of the apps can be found by searching aerlink.

New faces/software on the Zenwatch? Wear 2.0?

I just inherited a Zenwatch 1 from my brother-in-law, he wasn't using it. When setting it up, I realized I can't get any custom faces to work on it, or any extra software. I have it updated to the latest OS it will run, and it runs Wear OS 1.5, while my phone has 2.0.x. I found a forum post which I linked to below about a way to install Wear OS 2.0 on the Zenwatch 1, but I can't get some of the software I need for it (Zenwatch Manager) and the thread was closed so I don't have a way to ask if I really need that in order to complete the install. I'd rather not find out that I only need it for a crucial step part way through and I just bricked my watch because there's no way to backtrack. Can I hopefully get someone who has some experience with this to lend me a hand? Thanks.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/zenwatch-2/wear-2-development-sparrow-t3581617
I think Zenwatch 1 has no Wear OS 2, it stay in 1.5.
The better way to works with old softwate is to keep ALL old software related to the watch (Old Zenwatch manager used for Wear 1.5, maybe old WearOS phone version, old weather app, old....... I do like this to use my Old Sony SW2, I must keep old Smart Connect, old Wearable Widget App, old Aquamail App.....)

Philips OLED707 Android 11

Hello XDA community!
Just bought this piece of technology and discovered, that the android options are very limited. I don't even have the app manager menu enabled in my settings. Is there any way to enable some of the usual default android settings options? The app manager is a must, cuz I wanna disable some of the preinstalled crap.
Tried sideloading some apps through ADB and they don't show up in my app drawer.
I also want to use the Private DNS feature just like on my android phone, but this option is also not availale in settings, since there is no network settings in android settings.
Dafuq is this s#it? Is there somekinda kid mode enabled? Is this an Apple knock-off based on Android OS?
Any options to block YT ads? So fckn annoying to listen to that crap every 5 mins.
How about rooting?

This issue may be caused by a software glitch or a setting on your device. Try clearing the cache and data of the WhatsApp app, or try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Also, please check the notification settings of WhatsApp and ensure that the "Show notifications" option is enable. If you have any third-party apps installed, then you may also have to check the notification settings of those apps as well.

Bro, I didn't mention anything about Whatsapp not working on my TV.
Thank u for your answer!
So yea, the device most certainly didn't come with a kid mode configured. But It most certainly did come with a "sheep" mode configured, so that the massive ad feeding campaign couldn't be interrupted in any way. I read that Android TV OS now have some ad crap on their default home screens (aka launchers), so first thing's first - gotta disable all those pesky auto updates.
I tried vanced, but I guess that stuff is not supported anymore. I sideloaded vanced filtes via adb, but 2/3 of them didn't install. Also I've read, that latest vanced lacked somekinda specific TV UI functionality, so that's not gonna work for me. I guess smarttubenext does the job now, although I'd still prefer the root vanced.
My first question is about the adb shell commands. What are my options to execute somekinda command, for spawning unrestricted android settings apk or a restricted part of settings apk? At least I wanna get a full default app manager, and network settings. These settings stripped from the OS are very precious. This feels even worse than a crapple device. Can u or someone else please provide a list of adb shell codes and translations for them to spawn settings or parts of the settings?
Adblocking is somewhat available via dns configuration, which does work most of the time, but that is not a preferred option for me.
Is there any way I could force adb to manipulate the with the hosts file?
How about force copy an apk to system/app folder and preset target permissions?
Maybe some vulnerability I could use for that? It's not like the newest OS version, it's only Android 11.
There must be something.. C'mon.. this is my piece of equipment, I paid cash money for the device and OS. I want my OS functionality. I'm not renting it. It's mine. MINE!

Also I've read, that latest vanced lacked somekinda specific TV UI functionality, so that's not gonna work for me. I guess smarttubenext does the job now, although I'd still prefer the root vanced.
My first question is about the adb shell commands. What are my options to execute somekinda command, for spawning unrestricted android settings apk or a restricted part of settings apk? At least I wanna get a full default app manager, and network settings. These settings stripped from the OS are very precious. This feels even worse than a crapple device. Can u or someone else please provide a list of adb shell codes and translations for them to spawn settings or parts of the settings?
Adblocking is somewhat available via dns configuration, which does work most of the time, but that is not a preferred option for me.
Is there any way I could force adb to manipulate the with the hosts file?
How about force copy an apk to system/app folder and preset target permissions?
Maybe some vulnerability I could use for that? It's not like the newest OS version, it's only Android 11.
There must be something.. C'mon.. this is my piece of equipment, I paid cash money for the device and OS. I want my OS functionality. I'm not renting it. It's mine. MINE!

Have you tried smart tube next? Great YouTube app for tv and it includes sponsorblock. I actually have YT premium membership because I use iOS, but I STILL can’t live without smart tube on my tv
Yea, SmartTubeNext is working fine, so I'm gonna stick with it. I did disable some safe apps via adb.
Unfortunately hosts file editing will not work without root.
But is there any chance to access the Android App manager? I think this is a must.. If an app crashes I can force close it and clear data, but if I don't have the file manager, my only option will be factory reset. That's stupid. How can I get the app manager to show up in Android settings?
