Hi all,
is here anybody who is not using TF3D and do not like the very big font in start menu? I tryied to get it smaller via SKTools, Advanced Config and nothing helped Any ideas?
Thanx a lot
I'm using TF3D so not quite sure. But isn't that Settings > System > Screen > third tab and then slide it to the left?
It smallers only system fonts almost everywhere, but not in startmenu i mean the classic menu what appears after clicking on it...
I'm 100% sure I had this option on my TP and Diamond.
Maybe it's in: Settings > System > Taakbeheer (something as in tasks or so) > 4th tab (1: Active, 2: Exclusive, 3: Button, 4: Other).
Perhaps put the second bullet on "Small Size"?
This option is only for Task Manager, but not for start menu...
With the new JB 4.3 and the new Google Maps, I have now the following location options, scattered in two places (I am traslating options from Italian, so some wording may differ)
-> Under phone settings > Location: this controls acecss to position from ALL APPS
----> Access to my position: enables/disable the following two options
------------> GPS: this enables GPS, easy
------------> WIFI and Mobile networs: is this only an option to allow all apps to use wifi and mobile network to find position, or does this run a background location service?
-> Under Google maps settings > Google geolocalisation: this controls acecss to position from ONLY GOOGLE APPS
----> Acecss to my position: enables/disable the following two options
------------> Send my position: is this only an option to allow google apps to use the most recent position, or does this run a background location service?
------------> Position history: we all know what this does
Is the above correct?
What is the best settings to minimise battery usage and still make sure oocation works?
thanks

so? nothing? no one?
I want to introduce myself to my new device in this order of experiences:
• Charge up completely.
• Power up to home screen.
• Install an application or function with all my personalized settings from my previous device
(This includes all Settings menu personalizations, all personal data content from the main storage, all application data, all applications/data/updates and grouped shortcut placement with personalized titles included, wallpaper and settings, security settings, my keyboard settings and acquired personal dictionary, my accounts and account settings, etc, etc, etc)
• Then I want to open that file, watch it recreate my settings then auto restart
• Upon restart, enter password, and see my customizations all identically arranged according to my preference as though my new device is perfectly identical to my previous device in every personalizable way.
Where does this option exist?
If it does not exist, who is creating it, and what is that individual's contact info?
If no one has created this, how will I upgrade my device and ever recall the infinite details that I created along my path of coming to know Android and myself through the process?
If no one is creating this, who wants to create this with me?

Requirements
Windows O.S.
Have the ADB drivers installed. Here is the link to download them. During installation, make sure to enable the "Add to System Path Environment" option. Here you have more information about ADB drivers. Since v10, if you don't have ADB drivers installed, they are automatically downloaded and installed as soon as you open Wear OS Tools. [new]
Connect the watch and the phone to the same Wi-Fi network.
Enable debugging over Wi-Fi on the watch. On the watch, go to Settings > system > About and tap "Build Number" several times until you see a message that says "you are now a developer". Then go to Settings > developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debugging over Wi-Fi".
If you want to connect the watch to the phone via Bluetooth or Cable USB, follow the steps detailed on the tool.
Considerations
The tool is available in English (EN) and Spanish (ES)..
Tested on TWP3 and TWP5, please give feedback on other watches.
To find out the IP address of the watch, just go to "Debugging over Wi-Fi" in Settings > developer options. Under that option, you will see the IP. You can also see it in Settings > Connectivity > Wi-Fi > "Your Wi-Fi network".
You can connect the watch by USB cable, by bluetooth or by Wi-Fi network.
Wear OS watches are a bit unstable to stay connected to the Wi-Fi network especially if it is connected by Bluetooth with the phone, to make sure it connects smoothly when using the tool enable the "Enable Wi-Fi automatically when charging" option in Settings > developer options, and plug the watch to the charger. Another trick is to momentarily deactivate Bluetooth in the watch, the Wi-Fi network will be activated in a few seconds.
Since v10 you can use the tool in multitasking mode, i.e. you can for example backup watch apps while you are applying custom configurations. [new]
When you have finished, turn off "ADB debugging" on the watch, otherwise it will drain your watch battery...
Where to download?
Wear OS Tool v10
Method
Download and unzip in a folder the file from the "Where to download" section.
Make sure you meet all the points in the "requirements" section.
Locate the IP address of the watch as explained in the "considerations" section.
Run Wear OS Tools and enter the IP address.
If your watch is Wear OS 2 enter 5555 or nothing in the port number, and skip to step 7.
If your watch is Wear OS 3, enter the port number, which will be different from 5555
.
Select "Pair new device" or "Wireless debugging" (This step is only performed the first time) and enter the IP, port and pairing code, then re-enter the IP and port number as in the previous step
.
A notification will probably appear on the watch asking "Allow debugging?", select "Always allow from this computer".
In the tool, choose a function to run and follow the instructions on the screen.

Clarification on the new pairing procedure in Pixel Watch.
In the update in March 2023 for Pixel Watch, Google has implemented the new adb pairing procedure that had already been for some time on Android 11 and higher phones. It should be remembered that Wear OS 3 is based on Android 11, that is, watches like Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch 5 or Fossil Gen 6. For now, this procedure is only implemented on Pixel Watch, but probably in the coming months it will be implemented on the other Wear OS 3 watches.
The process is that you must first pair the watch with a device such as a PC or smartphone, entering a random pairing code and a random port number (only the first time you pair to the device) and then the connection is made through the IP address as it was done so far, but with the difference that the port number is random (it is not 5555 as before) and you will have to consult it on the watch every time you connect the watch in developer mode.
Wear OS 2 watches, and for now Wear OS 3 watches (except Pixel Watch) connect the watch as usual and with fixed port number, i.e. 5555.
What custom settings and optimizations are offered?
Apply Custom Settings on the watch from the PC (option 8) :
Hide/Display developer options menu.
Enable/Disable GPS location.
Adjust screen timeout beyond limits.
Enable/Disable ambient display.
Enable/Disable theater mode.
Enable/Disable auto brightness.
Adjust brightness manually.
Apply optimizations (option 8):
Double the speed of animations and transitions.
Optimizations to improve performance and reduce battery consumption.
Enable/disable adaptive battery management.
Enable/disable the processing speed management system.
Enable/disable useless configuration items in Galaxy Wtach 4/5.
Manage Vibration (option 4):
Enables/disables vibration when receiving calls.
Enable/disable vibration when receiving notifications.
Enable/disable vibration when touching the watch screen.
Enable/disable vibration for a specific application.
Delete cache memory (option 8).Optimize performance (option 8) .Reduce battery drain with the dexopt optimization method (option 8) .
To-Do
Force pairing with Wear OS 3 watches
Improve optimization tool with more optimization tasks (any suggestions from this thread for Samsung Galaxy devices or this thread for Pixel devices?).
Porting code to Linux and Mac via Java or Python.
I share this tool for free, to code the tool as it is now having taken me quite some time, I just ask for some feedback for the one who download it and try it.
If you are going to use it, please comment what you think or what bugs you see or what new features you suggest. Any opinion is interesting.

Thanks, looks interesting! I don't have my Pixel Watch yet, but what does "Optimize the Watch" do? That sounds a bit vague.

The tool is compatible with any Wear OS watch.
It optimizes the watch in 11 steps, which you can skip each of them or apply. The optimizations perform tasks that improve the transition speed of animations, disables useless configuration items, improves audio quality, can disable the touch sound if you have it, improves the speed of opening apps, removes cache, optimizes battery...
I tried everything out and was able to get the ringtone to change, but the notifications and alarm sounds don't change. The alarm seems to always be the same sound, but I have noticed at least two different sounds for varying notifications. Not sure if that will influence how well this application works for the Pixel Watch, but I wanted to at least mention it. Thank you for all you hard work to help the community!
Exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot!

Try pushing an audio file to the watch and set it again?
Anyway, this worked great for me, the battery life was so-so at first but after a day or so it's noticeably better and snappier. Thanks for your contribution!

You were able to get notification sounds to change on the Pixel Watch? Huh. I guess I'll have to try it again.
I've noticed this watch seems to have a sound for the calendar, a sound for any message app, and a sound for any other general notification – when you got the sound to change, did all of those notifications change, or just the general one?
In any case, though, thank you for the input! I'll try it again tonight and comment if it seems to work.
Oh, I personally haven't done that yet, but it had occurred to me that it could work for you.
I'll give it a shot and see if it does.
Hey, is it possible to change the APN settings somehow?
Does adb give you the ability to edit these settings?
If you mean to use it on a network other than T-Mobile, it doesn't seem it can be done yet. At least not for Mint Mobile, anyway. As far as adb goes, I don't know of any, sorry.
Thank you very much - great work. Im using it to push watchfaces to the pixel watch i´ve made with Galaxy Face Studio and it works great.
First i have had some trouble with Debugging over Wlan - thats a Pixel Watch problem i think.
But i found a good solution:
- setting up my old second mobile phone as Hotspot (there is no need for sim or internet connection)
-connecting my laptop to the phone-hotspot
-deleting the old wlan on the watch, switching BT off and connect to the phone hotspot
-enabling ADB debugging and debugging over Wlan
thats how i got a very save and good connection for the ADB
it doesnt connect with the pixel watch. It does work with the galaxy watch 5 though
edit: working now. Changing DPI is SO helpful. Its always way too high/big on these watches.
is it possible to export the camera app from the galaxy watch 5 and install it on the pixel watch? I would like to use the remote camera shutter app with my fold 4

Try it, the watch will not break, at most the app will not work on Pixel Watch and already, however, I doubt it will work, it is an app specific to the Samsung universe. Tell here your experience.
A while ago I wrote about alternatives to use the remote camera, in case it helps you.
https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/r7a0pq
https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/r8ot3i
I tried and it doesn't launch the camera. I can't install google camera on my fold 4 it says parsing error
Can there be anything done about the always on display turning off by itself when you are sitting still? I hate that

I did not understand very well. Do you want to prevent the screen from turning off when "sitting down"?

You mean like an "always on" option? Settings > Display > second-to-last option, Always-on screen.
You could also set the time-out to 30 seconds and the "return to watch face" option to a higher wait time, if that's also something you wanted.
No. The aod turns off sometimes randomly.
please how to pair watch with phone without wiping watch? dont know what to write :
Indicates IP address of the watch (you see it in settings / connectivity / Wi-Fi / "Your Wi-Fi"):
watch is with enabled dev ops, enabled adb with wifi
Thank you.
