Alguien sabe cómo obtener el número de compilación que quiero habilitar las opciones de desarrollador, pero no se muestra el número de compilación para tocar varias veces para activar
Solo puedes hacerlo si tu reloj es un Watch 3 o 3 pro. No puedo instalar apks en los relojes de la serie GT
You can only do it if your watch is a Watch 3 or 3 pro. Can't install apks on GT series watches

Estoy tratando de ejecutar un telegrama pero después de intentar confirmar el número no me muestra un botón de continuar. ¿Alguien sabe cómo se puede hacer esto?
Baje el Dpi a 160 y puede continuar.
En bugjaeger tienes que poner el comando:
wm density 160
Para volver al tamaño normal tienes que poner:
wm density 326
Lower the Dpi to 160 and you can continue.
In bugjaeger you have to put the command:
wm density 160
To return to the normal size you have to put:
wm density 326

Amazing thread, thanks to everyone making this watch more useful!

I just got myself the Huawei Watch 4 Pro (UK) , absolutely the best looking smartwatch in the market. But as with Watch 3 Pro, the lack of apps is very depressing. No nfc payment solution yet - Huawei Wallet only allows adding of Loyalty cards. No calendar or To do apps, notifications are not great either, you can only view the subject title and not reply to them. However, you can reply to WhatsApp and SMS notifications. Notifications don't even show the App icons they're coming from.

I am thinking of trying the method shared here, to see if I can install a calendar app. Does anyone know if the method discussed here would work on Watch 4 Pro?

Thanks.

I get this error (SDK version 30>29) when installing with ADB Fastboot 1.4.3 on Watch 3 Pro.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb connect 192.168.0.249:5555

How do I get suitable APK files?

The one I tried (and many newer versions 11.x.x) is from here (just renamed to simple maps.apk):

It is working on Watch 4 so i would say it is ok for the Watch 4 pro.

    Hi! Anyone knows how to install the default stock apps in case I uninstalled them? :)

    The default apps stay on your device. Only uninstalled for user.

    Try this

    adb shell

    pm list packages "gives list of all packages"

    pm install-existing <package name>

    Glad it worked!! 😁

    You have to be connected on wireless adb for the watch specifically. I can link you to a thread in a little bit.

    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.


    1628455649479.png


    3-) That's all we're going to do clockwise for now, we switch to the computer and run the Minimal ADB program.



    r/Huawei - World First: Guide to Install APK on Watch Series 3

    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.





    r/Huawei - World First: Guide to Install APK on Watch Series 3

    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.





    r/Huawei - World First: Guide to Install APK on Watch Series 3
    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 😉

    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:


    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 :)

    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 there,
    I wanted to activate the debug mode on my gt3 watch.
    But when I go to the about menu I can only find device name, Modell, Mac-Adress, harmony version if pushed it's changing to software version and the SN number and no build number.
    I tried pushing every single one about 20 times. Nothing happened.
    Can anybody help me out to find the build number cause I'm going crazy.

    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. :)
