Hey hyperterminal. One thing I noticed when I use apktools and I am doing a simple decomile. How do you deal with the XML resource folder erros with the different languages? I am sure you already figured this important part out which is what I am having a problem with and why I am asking. I did some google searching and there isn't any straight forward answer. One of the apk's I was dealing with I just ended up deleting the folders associated with the XML error in apktools but I am looking for a more automatic approach........Any Thoughts?
You get the XML errors if the game/app has a mechanism built in to prevent reverse engineering (modding), or you changed something integral without which the game/app cannot run.

Won't even care or give any push back if it's not possible but if you could decompile and make tetris by playstudios (top search result in play store) compatible that would be awesome. Either way you've already done great stuff.

I could do when free but you'll be required to test it, as I have realized all this takes up a bit too much of my time. Lemme know if you can test.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
Hyperterminal I was looking for an answer to the scrolling problem, if possible, can you show a video of how you play on a sample apk and upload it to youtube because I did not understand the software part, but if you put it on youtube, I can follow your steps and edit the apk myself.

Temple run is working for me, maybe try temple run 2 as it loads perfect on my watch. Here is some others that I have tried and are working besides the swipe back problem.

Beach Buggy Blitz v1.5 (Tested, working but swipe back problem)
Beach Buggy Racing v2021.08.2 (Tested, working but swipe back problem)
Temple Run 2 v1.9.5 (Tested, working but swipe back problem)
Jetpack Joyride v1.12.12 (Tested, working but swipe back problem)
Knife Hit v1.8.17 (Tested, working but swipe back problem)
Race the Sun v1.22 (Tested, working but swipe back problem)
Geometry Dash v2.111_men (Tested, working but swipe back problem)

Hello fellow WearOS users. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and tried installing Subway Surfers by sideloading it through ADB. It worked surprisingly smooth but the game would exit whenever I'd swipe right.

Upon further research I came across Android Wear platform's official documentation about swipe to exit here and then I decompiled the apk using Apktool, headed over to manifest to check what the main theme of the app is by searching "<application" and then after seeing that UnityThemeSelector is the default theme, I headed over to styles.xml and added this property to UnityThemeSelector and set it to 'false':
Code:
android:windowSwipeToDismiss

After two hours of googling and recompiling Subway Surfers, I finally got it working. Although I made it for personal use I'm sharing it here in case anyone else needs it.

Theoretically, it should work on any WearOS watch but I can personally confirm that it works on Samsung Galaxy Watch4.

    After posting the Subway Surfers mod I've also modded Crossy Road and Candy Crush to disable the swipe gesture but the problem is, although all these games can be sideloaded to the watch they drain a lot of battery even if you don't even open them. Unlike on the phone there's no "restrict battery usage" in app info so they drain battery too much even when you don't play.

    I'll check out the games you mentioned only after I find a way to restrict bg usage. I don't understand why there's no "restrict battery usage" like on phone's app info. Lemme know if you have any ideas but until then I won't be modding anything else, because yesterday I saw Spotify MOL (which I sideloaded) took 5% of battery when I didn't even open it once.

    Awesome work: did you install the game by sideloading? If so: on a PC or from your phone to the watch?
    I sideloaded it from phone using Easy Fire Tools.

    How is the battery usage in background?
    Around 0.5 to 1% per day at most. Just my one mod is not that big of a deal. The problem, however is when you have multiple apps (like Telegram, WhatsApp, Spotify) as they all take combined drain significant battery. That's what I'm facing.

    Thank you very much 😍❤ I hope you will also do the same with the game candy crush 😉
    Hi, I have made a mod for Candy Crush too. Check it out here.
