If you use the APK versions of my apps, you will need to
delete and reinstall all the
WearOS watch companion apps. This is a step by step guide that will help you installing the WearOS watch companion apps,
using a Windows PC.
Enable developer mode on the watch
The first thing you should do is to enable developer mode on your watch. (If developer mode is already enabled, you can skip to the next chapter.)
- open Settings
- go to "About watch"
- tap "Software information"
- quickly tap "Software version" 5 times in a row
- developer mode should now be enabled
Download and decompress the install package
You can
download the
compressed WearOS app installer packages (APK files) and the ADB tools for Windows from this URL:
bsmagic.app/apps/wearos/WearOS_watch_install.zip After downloading the ZIP file, you should
decompress it to any folder you like.
Prepare the watch for the connection
Please follow these steps to prepare your watch for connecting wirelessly with your PC:
- open Settings
- scroll down, and select "Developer options"
- find "ADB debugging" and enable it
- find "Wireless debugging" and enable it
- scroll down until you see the IP address and Port number of the watch
- write down the IP address and the Port number
(example: 192.168.1.37 is the IP address and 34107 is the Port number)
- scroll down and tap "+ Pair new device"
- write down the Pairing code and the Port number
(the IP address should be the same, but the Port number is different)
- proceed with the next steps without exiting this screen
Connect your watch and install the apps
Now it's time to connect your watch to your PC wirelessly, and perform the installation of the companion apps...
- make sure your watch is on the same local (WiFi) network as your PC
- on your PC double-click the file "install.bat"
- follow the instructions (see the tutorial video below)
- when everything is OK and the watch apps are installed, you can close the terminal window
