How To Guide How to install apps on Wear OS. All methods.

How To Guide How to install apps on Wear OS. All methods. - Google Pixel Watch

.
Currently, in Wear OS there are four methods (that I know of) for installing apps on the watch, each more convenient to use depending on the situation:
The first method, is the obvious one, that is, through the Play Store of the watch, you search for the app you are interested in, install it and that's it. In the watch's search engine, only apps optimized for Wear OS will appear.
The second method, is installing apps from a computer and through ADB commands. This method should be used when you want to install from your computer applications that are not found in the Play Store. With this method you could install any android application whether it is optimized for Wear OS or not. I explain this method in the section "Install apps from a computer (ADB commands)". You can use "Wear OS Tools" for Windows to facilitate the whole process.
The third method, is installing apps from the phone, using an app called "Bugjaeger Mobile ADB". The app is an ADB command emulator that can be run from an android phone. This method is recommended when you want to install an app that is not found in the Play Store, or the app is not optimized for Wear OS. Below, I explain in more detail in the section "Install apps from the phone (Bugjaeger Mobile ADB)".
There are other apps that are recommended in the same situations as for Bugjaeger, they are "Wear Installer 2" or "Easy Fire Tools".
The fourth method, is installing apps from the phone, using an app called "Wear Installer" (by the developer u/malbry). This method is recommended when the application not found in the Play Store and you want to install uses the old embedded application model, which means that the version of an app for Wear OS is added inside the version for Android phones. This application filters the applications installed on the phone (or simply downloaded to the internal memory) that contain the app optimized for Wear OS. When you choose to install, it sends it over Wi-Fi and installs the Wear OS-specific module that is contained within the phone app. In the section "Install apps from the phone (Wear Installer)" I explain how to install it. A help page for Wear Installer is here.
Important when you want to use the installation methods: "Allow Debugging"
When you first connect your watch via apps like Wear Installer, Bugjaeger, Wear OS Tools, or even with ADB commands, the watch will show a notification asking "Allow debugging?", select "Always allow from this computer". If you do not allow debugging you will not be able to connect.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If the notification is not displayed, go to Settings > Developer Options, and select "Revoke debug authorizations" and try to connect again.
2nd Method. Install applications from a computer (ADB commands)
This method should be used when you want to install from your computer applications that are not hosted on the Play Store. With this method you could install any android application whether it is optimized for Wear OS or not. The steps for Windows environment are as follows:
1. If you have not done it yet, prepare watch for advanced functions:- On the watch, go to Settings > system > About and repeatedly tap "Build number" 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 '.- On your computer, download and install the ADB tools, such as Tiny ADB & Fastboot.2. On your computer, open a command window, to do this in Windows type 'cmd' in the toolbar.3. Then enter the following command to connect to the watch. Then accept a message on the clock that allows the computer to connect.
Code:
adb connect watch_ip:5555
4. Now, it is the step to send the APK application to the watch, install it and delete APK file finally. Make sure to enter the path correctly in the following commands.
Code:
adb -e install filename.apk
Alternatively, you can use Wear OS Tools for Windows, which will make it easy to install apps via ADB commands.
3rd method. Install apps from the phone (Bugjaeger Mobile ADB / Wear Installer 2)
Another alternative, in this case from the phone and via Wi-Fi, is to use the Bugjaeger Mobile ADB app (also Wear Installer 2" or "Easy Fire Tools"). You don't need to install anything on the watch, the app is an ADB command emulator that can be run from an android phone. To connect and be able to run the functions, just do the following:
On the phone, download Bugjaeger here and install from Play Store.
On the watch, If you have not yet done so, 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".
Make sure both your watch and mobile are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, momentarily disable Bluetooth on your watch if Wi-Fi is not enabled on the watch. Now go to Settings > Connectivity > Wifi, click on the network you are connected to and enter the IP of your network.
In the Bugjaeger app on your phone, click on the plug icon, enter the IP of your network and click "Connect".
When connected, you will see a notification appear on your watch where you have to give permission to link the phone to the watch, so click on "Always allow from this computer". Now in the app you will see the notification "Connected".
Now go to the "Packages" tab, click on the "+" icon at the top, and choose to install on the watch an APK file that is downloaded to the phone, or an application installed on the phone.
4th Method. Install apps from the phone (Wear Installer).
This method should be used when you want to install from the phone applications that are not hosted on the Play Store, however these apps must be optimized for Wear OS. The steps for installing and using Wear Installer are as follows:
On the phone, download Wear installer here and install from Play Store.
On the watch, If you have not yet done so, 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".
Make sure both your watch and mobile are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
On the phone, open "Wear installer" app, enter the IP of your network and press OK. You will see 2 tabs, the first one is the list of all the apps installed on your phone, and the second tab is the list of the apps you have downloaded to the phone (APK files) and found in the "Download" folder.
Select the app you want to install on the watch, it must have the Wear OS APK inside for it to be installed. Accept the debugging on the watch and Wear Installer will extract the component, send it and install it on the watch.

Chrome deleted the file saying it's a malicious file. Did you get a virus flag?

Hi,
I got an issue with connecting the HTC one M7 with WiFi.
Laptop and HTC are in the same wireless network.
I connect the HTC via USB to my laptop, press the WIFI button and click on "Get IP-Address"
After one second I get a pop up which says "Device has to be connected".... but it is...
So there is no way to get the IP-Address into the system.
If I set the known IP into the connection box and press connect, I get an information box "Unable to connect".
Remark: It´s the same behavior if I activate DHCP or a fixed IP in the device. (of course the same IP as I get from the router)
What is my mistake with connecting???

Someone is not helping

[WINDOWS/LINUX][TOOL]Fire Toolbox V31.0

Fire Toolbox V31.0
All-In-One Toolbox for Fire Tablets!

Getting the Toolbox up and running with your tablet is surprisingly a very easy procedure. The only thing required is for you to enable Developer Options and ADB on your tablet. So, without further ado, let's get started.
At this point, please read the section below, and make sure to follow the correct guide that is made for your tablet on how to set up the device so it works with the Toolbox.
FIRE HD 7, 8, 10 (2018 - 2022) Guide:
Spoiler: Show Guide
Before purchasing the tablet:
Make sure you uncheck the "Link device to your Amazon account to simplify setup" box before Adding to Cart. (See this screenshot, credits go to @ancientrael)
if the box remains checked, your tablet will automatically update to the latest version of FireOS the second it auto-connects to your wifi.
Booting the tablet for the first time:
Wait for your tablet to fully boot up for the first time (may take a few seconds to minutes).
When it boots, it will ask you for the language you'd like the OS to use. Select your prefered language.
Tapping the blue arrow at the bottom of the screen, you'll be asked to connect to a WIFI network.
Select ANY network from the list (even if you don't know the password).
Once it asks for the password, tap the "Cancel" button and it will take you to the previous screen with the Wifi networks.
At the bottom of the screen, you should now see a "Skip Setup" button, go ahead and tap that.
It will now ask if you're sure you want to skip fire setup. Just tap "Skip" once more.
You should immeditely be thrown into Fire Launcher. You're now ready to enable USB/ADB Debugging.
Enabling USB Debugging:
Turn on your tablet and go to Settings > Device Options > About Fire Tablet and tap on the Serial Number until you unlock Developer Options.
Press the back button and find the new Developer Options and toggle it on.
Scroll down till you find USB Debugging and enable it.
Setting up the drivers:If you are on Windows 10 or Windows 11 you do NOT need to following this guide because Windows will setup the needed drivers by default automatically. All you need to do is plug your tablet in and Windows will take care of the rest. Please wait until these drivers are fully installed before laucnhing the Toolbox for the first time.
Download the latest version of the Toolbox from the Downloads section of this page and install it onto your PC.
Plug your tablet into the computer, and Windows will start installing the MTP drivers. It will also attempt to install the ADB driver but will fail. (This is normal and to be expected)
Launch the Toolbox, and it should detect your Windows version and inform you that further driver setup is required. It will then ask you if you'd like the Toolbox to download and install the drivers.
Click the "Yes" button, wait for the download to finish and follow the driver setup. If this for some reason doesn't work, please follow this guide to manually install the drivers.
At this point, If drivers are setup properly... the Toolbox will inform you that the "device isn't authorized. Please authorize your device now."
On your tablet, you should see a new prompt asking if you want to Allow USB Debugging and should show the computer's RSA key fingerprint. Tick the box that says "Always allow from the computer" and hit ok.
That's it, the Toolbox should recognize your tablet and will take you to the main menu. Enjoy!

My Home Button isn't working after using the Custom Launcher Tool?Due to the way the process works, it alters your navigation bar's home key to send a key event that can be picked up by Automate. Once Automate reads this event, it launches your custom launcher automatically. However, if the flow in Automate isn't running, the navbar key will not work, and nothing will happen when it's tapped. To fix this, either open Automate and start the "Launcher Invoker" flow again, or execute the Custom Launcher tool in the Toolbox, click the ":" icon (upper-right) to show the Tool Options panel, and click the "Restore Navigation Bar" button to restore the stock layout.

Google Family Link won't work on my tablet?Unfortuently, no matter how hard we try, we still haven't been able to get Family Link to work correctly on the tablets. The Family Link app fails to install, and the Child account refuses to login. No matter what we tried, we couldn't get a Child account to work on the tablets.We believe this has to do with missing dependecies, and the tablets not being certified through Google's Play Protect platform. We're still activly looking into getting the issue resolved. Until then, it's recommended that you use an alternative such as Amazon's FreeTime, Eyezy, or another third-party family managing software.

How can I remove a Google Account from my tablet?Because of the missing accounts section in the Settings app it will be a little more difficult to remove Google Accounts directly from the tablet. The easiest way that I've found is to visit this page: https://myaccount.google.com/security, sign-in to your Google Account, scroll down to "Your Devices" and click the "Manage devices" button. From the list of devices find your tablet and in the upper right-corner click the 3-dot icon and from the list select "Sign out".

Can the Toolbox be used to root my tablet?Primarly, rooting a Fire Tablet requires the user to open the back of the device and short out a certain point on the motherboard. The Toolbox has been designed for folks who'd rather not bark down this alley. It uses the power of ADB to make changes, and is meant to be an alternative to rooting. In summery, the Toolbox isn't designed to root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The Toolbox is being marked as a virus?This is likely because the Toolbox (and it's installer) aren't signed with a software license. This freaks Windows out because it sees that there is no publisher, and as a result it displays a warning (smartscreen). In addition, some anti-viruses might also flag the Toolbox as a virus simply because the build is relatively new and there is no record of it in the anti-viruses database, resulting in a false positve.As always, I take your security and privacy VERY seriously! If you do not feel safe with installing the Toolbox due to virus concerns, I respect and support your decision. It is always up to the user and their judgment!

This tool is designed to install Automate, push Amazon Lockscreen Ads Remover V4.5 to tablet, and install all permissions required to run the script. Now, to get it all set up and working you need to enter Automate and open the settings. From here you are looking for an option that's titled "Run on system startup" make sure you enable this option. Now, for installing the adblocker you can import it into Automate (Flow is found on your internal storage or sdcard) Or you can download the script from the automate community. Refer to this forum if you need assistance (skip steps 1-5 because they have already been done automatically by the toolbox). Sorry I can't write up a detailed post, I'm at a family gathering at the moment. Just let me know if you need further assistance.

Great tool! However, after "removing everything Amazon", it seems to have also removed parental controls which screws up some things. I get "the requested action is not permitted. Check parental controls settings and retry" when I try to download offline translation functionality in Google Translate. When I go to the the tablets settings>parental controls, it won't open. Also seems to not allow install of Amazon related apps like kindle and prime video.

It's kind of annoying right? So, whats happening is Its coded to remove Parental Controls but I've just discovered it isn't able to because Parental Controls is a Device Administrator which you can't uninstall even with ADB without deactivating it first. As a result, I will update the tool so it doesn't remove anything related to parental controls until we can find a way to disable it. However, chances are kind of slim. I don't think its possible without root but we will see. I'm also thinking about a restore option for the "Remove Everything Amazon" tool that returns the amazon system apps so you don't have to do a factory reset.

Hmmm, I'm not sure about this. I can test it at home and let you know how it goes if you would like. However, it would be a few hours from now if your interested.

Will this work on a Kindle Fire 10" Gen 5 version? I've already hacked my wife's 2017 using another more complex path to doing so, but a friend just asked me to hack his Gen 5 10" and I'd love to do it as easily as this. However, a bit nervous if this doesn't allow it.

I think I answered my own question. Using a windows 10 computer, I connected the 10" Fire Gen 5... ran the program... and it continually crashed after initially finding the kindle. I never got the menu with the options. And where does this program unpack itself to once the EXE zip is run?

Quick question, is there already a new version around?

I believe this may be a bug in the tablet detect section of the code. I know it can read Hd10 (2017), hd8 (2017), and hd (2018) without error. I'm not sure what's going on but I will look into it. Oh and also, a new version of the tool is coming soon!

I have the same problem with my TV, as I found out the problem is from the brand side. They choose a rom that that does not have this... The only way to give permision to an app is only through ADB that it is not an easy job

I also have the same issue with my TV, waiting for the solution.

I've gone crazy **** about this issue. I badly wanted to use Button Mapper but couldn't find the app under Accessibility Services. After 1 whole day of head storming, I was able to do it. It's the only way for now as the above user said some TVs not enabled accessibility menu in settings. This can be solved by their system update but till then we have to do manually with ADB.
You should have knowledge of ADB shell commands running through USB debugging with the help of ADB minimal tools or android SDK(please google if you don't know).
Enable developer settings and USB debugging. Connect TV to your computer having ADB tools. Remember only USB 2.0 port will work so don't use 3.0
Run "adb devices" to check whether TV got connected.
If connected then run this command
"adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services PKGname/ServiceName"
,here package name is your app package name where as service name is one of the app's services which seeking accessibility service.
For example I tried for Button Mapper(to map the remote buttons and it won't run without accessibility service enabled).
"adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services flar2.homebutton/flar2.homebutton.utils"
After that run another command for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS(this is must)
"adb shell pm grant PKGname android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
in my case it is "adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
This will resolve the issue without any problem. If you know adb commands then you can play with all the permissions and services for the apps.
Run above commands without quotes. To check apps package,permissions,services you can user any app manager/analyser app. I'm using FX explorer which is best file explorer and app manager. I'm attaching snaps which will be helpful. Let me know if you still face issues.

The same way I resolved this and other apps

The only thing you need to do with Button Mapper is this:
adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
The app will take care of the rest after it has that permission

Perhaps anyone knows this:
In my tv sony XH900 (it has accessibility menu, it's not my problem), when i use button mapper and give accessibility permission through the menu, it works fine, but there is one bug:
Volume buttons +- doesn't work continually.. By keep press + for example, it just increase sound only 1 step. I have to press and left, the button many times to increase sound more steps..
Is this the default for all tv if you use button mapper or only mine?
Is there any solution?
Thanks,

I have the accessibility menu but when I install any app it doesn't appear on accessibility menu at all.

Wow...Din't expect your reply. If you're official developer or team of Button Mapper, just want to tell you one thing.
"You saved my ass so many times". I just love your app and have been using it since a year, happy to say I paid for full version since starting.

As the Huawei Ailesi, we promised to make a big difference compared to the classical media, and we continue to keep this promise in a way that will guide the world. Here is a guide that no one else has: the guide to install apps as APKs on the new Watch 3 series! We are very excited, if you are ready let's get started!
First of all, we need to point out that this guide does not work on the Watch GT series, that is, the smart wearable series with LiteOS operating system, please do not try it in vain and do not ask questions like "Will it work on Watch GT 2 Pro?" in the comments. Only valid for the new Watch 3 series.
Of course, it is necessary to meet some requirements before this process.
Requirements:
- Computer
– Watch 3 series or any laptop (or a WiFi-enabled desktop) connected to the same network
– Minimal ADB and Fastboot
If the requirements are ready, let's start the installation.
1-) First, go to the settings on the watch, then go to the about device section and press the build number a few times. Developer options will open.
2-) Then go back and find the developer options, scroll down the menu slowly and activate the "Debug via Wi-Fi" button.
3-) That's all we're going to do clockwise for now, we switch to the computer and run the Minimal ADB program.
4-) We take a note of the ip address on the clock and enter the command adb connect 100.100.100.100:5555 (written as an example) and connect the computer to the Watch.
We provide confirmation to the connection from the confirmation window that appears on the watch. When everything is done the command you entered will result in a space. If you get a network error, please check your network conditions.
5-) Enter the command adb shell pm disable-user com.android.packageinstaller in the active command window. This command will disable the verification of applications trying to install from external sources, if you continue without using this command, the applications will not be installed.
6-) Transfer any APK file to the location of Minimal ADB for testing, we can recommend you to try YouTube Vanced on the watch.
7-) Then enter the command adb install apkad.apk (example: adb install vanced.apk) in the active command window, the apk name here will be the name of the APK you copied into Minimal ADB, you cannot install with any random name.
That's it, you'll see the YouTube logo on the watch's interface, isn't it great?
Note: In order not to damage the system integrity, when you are finished installing the APK, enter the adb shell pm enable com.android.packageinstaller command and close the command window.
We are waiting for you to write the applications you have tried and got successful results in the comments section, Huawei Ailesi has shown its difference again

This way a regular APK will be installed, or there is a way to install a wear version of apk? Apps supported by watch often have special version of app inside APK specially designed for watch and in the past there was a way to specify that you want to install not the phone app version, but the watch app version. Thank you for your guide!

Hello,
I need to root it because of use it as door access card. Is it possible? And do you have apk to support it?

Thank you for the tutorial.
I have followed all the steps and managed to install my first applications on my Huawei Watch 3.
For those arriving, I have noticed that if the watch screen turns off ADB is disconnected, so I have done all the command line process with the screen in "always active" mode.
WEAR OS APPS
I have tried some Wear OS apps without success, like Youtube Music (Vanced), Web Browser, Photo Gallery, Mail client.... All of them exit after a few seconds, except Youtube Music / Video Player for Youtube which works but requires a login module which doesn't work or is not installed / installable.
HUAWEI WEB BROWSER
I have installed the Huawei web browser from here:
Download the latest Huawei Browser APK [12.1.1.301]
Huawei Browser is a secure yet easy-to-use browser provided by Huawei. Designed for Huawei devices, Huawei Browser is dedicated to providing high-speed web browsing, convenient searching, and comprehensive privacy protection for Huawei smartphone users. Below you can download the latest Huawei...
www.huaweicentral.com
And it works quite well.
I have managed to login to my google account and from there, I access youtube, drive, gmail, etc....
Youtube plays the videos perfectly, even in full screen ( you can't exit full screen, you have to press the watch button to exit the browser).
The watch gestures to display controls, notifications, or return to the previous screen do not work. However, from the top right corner you can access the browser menu, where the back and next controls are shown to navigate between pages.
Not perfect, but useful.
Attached are some pictures and I'm still testing apps

YOUTUBE VANCED
Just installed it from apkpure and it works properly.
I can even use the watch gestures to navigate.
I cannot login into my Youtube account (and I don't know if I should do it) even with microG.apk installed.
Nothing happens.
But it works: it plays video and I can even mirror the screen via Chromecast or FireTV.
COLOR NOTE
Working perfect com.socialnmobile.dictapps.notepad.color.note
CX File Explorer
Working too, I've been trying Dropbox integration and it worked great. I can now download pictures, videos, etc... to my watch from dropbox. CX Explorer has an image, audio, and docs gallery. So... all included here. com.cxinventor.file.explorer

It does not work for me. ADB sais: cannot connect to 192.168.0.127:5555: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)
The watch model is Watch 3 Pro - 509, GLL-AL01, the firmware is the latest avialable for me: 2.0.0.179
Tried to restart the watch. Tried different Wi-Fi (for PC and watch), tried keep screen on while charging and with charger. The option in dev. menu sais: Unavialable

Where it says Unavailable it should appear the target ip. If not shown, you cannot connect via adb. Do the following:
1. Activate Flight Mode from notification bar.
2. Now, active only wifi and make sure any other connection is disabled. In the notification bar it must appear only the wifi icon next to the battery level icon.
3. Go to Developer settings and first switch on the HDC Debugging, and after that switch on the Wifi debug.
Then, it must show the IP.
Until any IP is shown there you cannot connect via adb.

Hi. Thanks for the tutorial! First app I tried to install was google play. Installed all right but won't work (I want to pay with my watch 3 pro )
Youtube vanced works great!!

TELEGRAM
Installed in my Watch 3 4G and it works fine! The keyboard is always in capital letters though :/
WHATSAPP
Installed the last apk version and it works perfect. The only issue is that by now Whatsapp allows only one account at a time, so, you have to choose whatsapp in smartphone or smartwhatch, but not both right now. Waiting for multi-account whatsapp version coming soon. I've tried clone solutions but they don't work. I can use Whatsapp Web in desktop mode via HUAWEI BROWSER (installation instructions above) but is not what I'm looking for.
PINTEREST
Works fine, not very comfortable.
ANGHAMI MUSIC
Arab music on the go.
STELLARIUM
Works fine until you swipe from left to right. Doing this the app stops moving the star map interface.
[Edit 19/10/2021]
SPOTIFY LITE
From apkpure, in APK format (not xapk), working perfect with no premium needed!
Is this the only watch having Whatsapp and free Spotify and nobody knows about it?

Wow, this is really something. Great work!
I have a couple of questions, though:
Is the firmware update affected in any way? Have you received any update since you have installed apps this way?
Would installing apkpure app allow apps to be installed from the watch?

As far as I know there's no reason it can affect updates, no system modifications are made, just pushing in the apk.
Also, I haven't tried to install apkpure app, what I do is to download the apk I want to use ADB to install them.
I've tried to install an apk downloaded right to the watch from web browser, opening it with CX Explorer, but no luck. I think ADB is the only way till now to install apps in the watch. Just use a computer and let's go

I successfully installed Browser, youtube vanced, cx file explorer. I tried installing navigation apps but none worked. Tried Waze and some other apps found on apkpure.
Apkpure app installed and started, but I could not do anything in it.
Tried installing some app for controlling the lights in my house but it gave an error when starting.
How can I install xapk files? I could only install apk. (google maps is xapk).

At the moment only simple apps can be installed, and no xapk. Apps working will be those having no external resources, no google interaction, no advanced libraries, and so on...
Keep it simple by now.

Hi All,
I cannot force my watch 3 Pro to communicate with my PC. It always returns eror code:

Latter I am going try again. It seems I am doing something wrong.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your apps, they works perferctly.
I am looking for an application that would allow me to have the alarms synchronization of my phone (OnePlus 9 Pro, so NO HUAWEI PHONE) on my watch, do you have a solution? I did not find any.
Thanks for your feedback. I think an application like this would be greatly appreciated.

I am curious about NFC apps. Like GooglePay or othe payment apps will work?

Not at all. We are waiting for Huawei Pay to be approved out of China. Only some apps with a limited use of resources will work here.

How To Guide How to transfer files to / from watch via Wi-Fi (even if you are not at home)

To send to the watch and/or receive from the watch files (e.g. music) the easiest way is through the USB cable, but there are some watches, like Pixel Watch that can only be sent through the Wi-Fi network (Google does not include USB data cable with the watch, although @shinyquagsire23 has already built a homemade USB cable, and it worked).
A. How to transfer files with NavExplorer
It is possible to remotely access the watch from your computer or phone wirelessly, using the FTP protocol. You can copy the files you have stored in the internal storage of the watch to the computer, or send files from the computer to the watch, like music, videos, texts, etc. The only requirement is that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
To do this, follow the steps below:
Download from the Play Store and install the NavExplorer application on the watch. The app is somewhat abandoned, and is not currently available on Play Store, you can download the APK from here and install it by sideload.
Open app and go to the top menu, click on the Wi-Fi icon.
It shows you an address with the structure: ftp://Watch_IP:2122. This activates the FTP server.
If you would like to access from...
From the computer, open Windows Explorer, and in the upper part of the window, in the folder path, type the address of point 3.
From the phone, use an advanced file manager, for example Solid Explorer. Open the application, select Storage Manager > "+" > FTP, and follow the instructions, basically put the address and the port number, which is 2122.

}
B. How to transfer files with Bugjaeger Mobile ADB
Another alternative, in this case from the phone and via Wi-Fi, is to use Bugjaeger Mobile ADB app. You don't need to install anything on the watch, the app is an adb command emulator that can be run from an android phone. To connect and be able to run the functions, just do the following:
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".
Make sure both your watch and mobile are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, momentarily disable Bluetooth on your watch if Wi-Fi is not enabled on the watch. Now go to Settings > Connectivity > Wifi, click on the network you are connected to and enter the IP of your network.
In Bugjaeger app on your phone, click on the plug icon, enter the IP of your network and click "Connect".
When connected, you will see a notification appear on your watch where you have to give permission to link the phone to the watch, so click on "Always allow from this computer". Now in the app you will see the notification "Connected" and you will see the list of apps that are on the watch.

C. How to send files to the watch without Wi-Fi network (from outside the home).
It happens that there are times when you are not at home, and you want to send music to the watch or send an APK file to install it. The solution to this is by activating the shared Wi-Fi connection of the phone, and pretend it is your home network.
On the phone, go to settings > Other wireless connections and turn on "Wi-Fi data sharing".
Within the Wi-Fi data sharing settings, replace the Wi-Fi network name and password and enter the same name and password as your home Wi-Fi network, this way the watch will connect automatically, and you won't need to enter the password on the watch.
Now, on the watch and if you haven't already done so, go to Settings > System > About and tap "Build number" several times until you see a message that says "you are now a developer". Next go to Settings > Developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debugging over Wi-Fi".
Next make sure both your watch and phone are connected to the same wifi network, momentarily disable bluetooth on your watch if Wi-Fi is not enabled on the watch. Now go to Settings > Connectivity > Wifi, click on the network you are connected to and enter the IP you will see.
On your phone, install Bugjaeger (if you haven't already) and run it, click on the plug icon, enter the IP of your network and click "Connect".
When connected, you will see a notification appear on your watch where you have to give permission to link the phone to the watch, so click on "Always allow from this computer". Now in the app you will see the "Connected" notification and from the app you will be able to send files (Files tab) or install APKs (Packages tab).
