Hello all,

I have installed a watchface with sdb install xxx.wgt

Now I try to remove it by doing sdb unstall xxx.wgt

I am getting the following message: error, package xxx.wgt does not exist

So, how do I remove it then?

Thank you all

Never mind - found it. Since many of you do not know: when you install the watch face - the sdb tool will tell you the application number (several times). Write that number (code) down.

Then, to uninstall: type sdb uninstall ..... ( put the number instead of the ....) Do not use the appt name as that is not going to work!

I did not know that. Thanks for clearing that up. Another thing I don't know; how to get S Voice to work with my S4.

Sorry, saw your question only today - I ran into the same problem and it's good I kept the DOS cmd window open after install (and I have a 10000 line buffer :) )
Long story short, I ended up changing the wgt file name to INCLUDE the PID.

Ex: gear1analog_tTS6SRO5PU.wgt which makes it easier next time to uninstall. There should be a way to list the PIDs...

I found something else. In case you installed a watchface and do not have the PID: as long as you have the watchface file - you can rename it to .zip. Then you can extract it and one of the files will have the PID - so then you can uninstall.

But it seems that I can uninstall directly from the app manager too? It seems that most / all of the watchfaces I have installed with sdb are visible in the Galaxy Gear Manager - so they are removable from there too
