I use WearModder to scale the apps down automatically, so I don't know if I can scale down WhatsApp, and I saw some people that have already done that in the forums. I can try the other app you suggested and try to scale it down a bit with WearModder. I will post a modified version of the tutorial, which is already in this thread, with other commands and other ways to install the apps. In a few hours, I will try to scale that app down.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] DeathgamerB:
I cant install the app , it gives me some error and I dont have time to fix it, I will make a step by step guide on how to do this youself.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] DeathgamerB:
Tuto:

Download the exact same things , that are listed in the tutorial on page 12 and follow the steps until you get to step 6.

Link

Instead of using this command:

java -jar apktool.jar b apk_name

You have to use this one :

java -jar apktool.jar b app_name --use-aapt2

After that you have to sign the apk with the key I will upload below with this command:

jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore Spotify.keystore app_name/dist/app_name.apk Spotiwear

The password of the key is:

Spotify

After you done that send the apk to your android phone and download the app apk-signer and sign the app using the default key ,which is provided in the app.

Notes:You have to create a folder in which you copy all the files you need.

Example: WearOSApp/Wearmodder.jar

Spotify.keystore

Spotify.apk

I hope you can modify your favourite app with this little guide.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] CaptainBetts:
Thank you for expanding on the tutorial, I'll give it a go when I get back home in about 6-8 hours.

Am I right in thinking that WearModder just scales down the app by a default fixed value (e.g. 50%)? Apologies if this seems like a really rookie question, I have no experience with Java. I assume that's what

java -jar apktool.jar b app_name --use-aapt2

does?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] CaptainBetts:
Apologies if I'm being unclear - essentially as a first step I was looking to basically scale down the watch density in the same way as ADB (though doing this because ADB scales down everything on the watch). Not sure if WearModder automatically reduces density by a set amount or whether I have to go into all the files individually and change each value to 50% of it's size (which could be thousands of changes)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] DeathgamerB:
I don't know either,I just scrolled threw this thread and made this updated tutorial out of other answers ,that are in this thread.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] goldf1shgam3r:
Hi, I tried following your tutorial for making a version of Discord for my watch, but when I tried installing the resulting apk, it says "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-2]"

Any help?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] DeathgamerB:
I searched online and found a github issue in which the problem was solved after changing extractNativeLibs to true in the apps manifest. Here is the Link.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] goldf1shgam3r:
Thank you for the help, this solved that my problem!

I then got another saying: Failure [-124: Failed parse during installPackageLI: Targeting R+

I managed to solve that however by using uber-apk-signer instead of jarsigner. It finally installed after that.

But unfortunately it crashes on startup. This happens with an unmodified apk aswell direct from the play store, so I think there's no fixing that.

Still, now that I managed to succesfully modify an app, gonna try some others now too with the same method.

Hello. I bought myself a Google Pixel Watch. I tried to install your APK of Spotify but when authorization is in progress, it throws me out and the application closes. Could you make an APK for my watch?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Dante63:
Use older Spotify WearOS, it has the ability to work standalone...

Pair it with any phone version, I tested it with latest spotify...

Play a song from your phone to your watch first, this version has a bug where watch can't play on its own (random times) but once it starts playing, you can disconnect from your phone and listen or choose other music as long there is network on the watch...

You can check for higher versions till you find latest version with this feature before spotify decided to pull the plug of this feature...

Your friendly neighborhood XDA-Dante63...

Attached version: 8.6.94.306
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] HoreaM:
Could you please tell us which version is the version you attached? Thanks!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Dante63:
8.6.94.306
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] HoreaM:
Awesome, thanks! Is there a safe site where I could browse the apks? I can't seem to find the Spotify WearOS app on apkmirror.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Dante63:
It's a split apk, might be hard to find previous versions on reliable sites...

The one I provided is from playstore pulled from watch and combined as one...

Someone requested from me to mod & add Chinese translations and I did, that was back in jan 2022...
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] mdianov87:
Good afternoon. Thank you for your work on Spotify Wear OS. This version of the app still works today. Please make a new, fresh version of Spotify Full and Spotify Lite. Focusing on Google Pixel Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4-5 generation. So that the player is well displayed on this clock. Thanks for your work!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] mdianov87:
Friends, please make Spotify Lite version and full version for Google Pixel Watch.

amigo nem sei como lhe agradecer, tentei de todas maneiras achar algo que pudesse ouvir uma música sem o celular e vc me proporcionou isso com esta versão , apenas posso agradecer, obrigado!!!!!!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] tinyqu:
looks a bit more better for me. - not perfect at all, but usable until spofity get the wear-app working.

i recognized that the performance is not that good i thought before. especially in case of playing musik it needs much time load the animations and get into to "playing"-screen. the hole system works very slow in this case and it needed some time to get the musik stoped. - no such a good idea in the office :D
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] moneytoo:
As promised, I uploaded the modding tool. Both the program and instructions are trivial so really anyone can give it a try with their favorite apps. Let me know how it goes so we can further improve it.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] mind-overflow:
Installed it on my Ticwatch E. "Standard" version (both mods) works flawlessly (a little laggy, but understandable). I can't get to login with the Lite version though, When I hit "Login" it just brings me back to the beginning. No errors shown
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] ckarv:

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] FemiPhoenix:
I installed the second modded version of Spotify, but I am unable to save offline. It appears to be the Spotify lite not the full Spotify.

NB: I have a premium subscription.

I'm also getting this errors on compiling (not well formed, invalid token). Am I misunderstanding something? I've tried some apks with the same result :(
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] nascar48:
Hey wow look at that it's like you just made one of the killer apps all smartwatches lack. Like really if any of the smartwatches had snapchat, spotify, and Facebook messenger support with 4g they'd have a realistic use case for leaving a phone at home.... As it is now they are just a fancy timepiece sadly.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] darkcloud545:
Thank you for the amazing tool! Unfortunately, I lack the proper know-how to make use of it. Was just gonna ask if there was anyway the bottom bar could be adjusted for the full spotify app? Used both of your modded versions and they cutoff the bottom bar. I can only kind off press the middle three buttons, "Browse", "Search", and "Radio". They look like this ([url=https://ibb.co/cBFTmK][/URL]). I have also tried various watch DPIs, namely 280(original), 240, and 200. The bottom bar is always cutoff on all of them. Using a Huawei Watch BTW.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Milan P.:
How do I put it onto my watch? It's not showing up in Play Store...
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] pocketrussian:
You have to sideload the app onto the watch. This means that you have to download the modified apk that the OP attached on the first post of this thread (spotify-lite-wear-mod.apk). You then need to install adb for linux or windows with appropriate drivers as described here. You also have to enable developer mode on your smartwatch as explained here and enable USB debugging in developer option. You can then connect the watch via usb and sideload the app by typing:

adb install spotify-lite-wear-mod.apk

Works a treat on my old Zenwatch 2. Thanks OP!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] pocketrussian:
For those who prefer perl, this can also be accomplished by the following script:

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;

our $NEW= '>@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material';
our $NEW2= '>28.0dip';

our $^I= '.bak';

my $dir = shift;

finddepth(\&wanted, $dir);

sub wanted {
return unless -f;
@ARGV = ($_);
while(<ARGV>) {
s/>(\d+.0)(dip|sp)/'>' . sprintf("%.1f", $1 * 0.5) . $2/ge;
s/>\?android:actionBarSize/$NEW/g;

print;
}
};

useage similar to the java code from OP: perl script.pl res/

I loaded the Spotify mod2 apk on my Polar M600 that runs android wear. I was able to download my workout Playlist of 417 songs. When I went running today with watch and Bluetooth earbuds it worked perfect!

The user interface is a little messy, not sure if my Polar square screen makes it this way? Anyway now that I got it setup all I do is open Spotify on my watch, press play on my earbuds and I'm good to go!

This is huge for me! Before this I was loading my old ass mp4 songs and using android wear to play them. Thank you so much I use this twice a day.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Chainsy:
****ing Great.

Better than Spotify for Wear OS..
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] moneytoo:
Given Polar is basically the only watch with square screen, I intentionally centered all necessary controls. So that's probably the mess you're talking about. Focusing on that allowed me to not to make two different releases or fiddle with the actual code (only with app resources).

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] sowpow:
I can't post links in here but if you Google for "Spotify offline play list fossil gen 5 reddit" the first result has the instructions

Just a note on gettin the app to download lists for offline use. You will need to go to settings within the app (using the top menu) and turn on download via celluar. Is fiddly but only need to do it once. On my watch I also have to disconnect the bluetooth to my phone and have the watch connected via wifi each time - otherwise it won't download songs.

After the inital fiddly setups, now I can just load straight into Spotify on my watch and when connected via Wifi it will auto update my playlists and I just need to hit play

Hi guys and thank you very much [MENTION=426237]moneytoo[/MENTION] for that awesome work!!

I took your Mod v2 and did some manual modification in the xml files to get a slightly better result with the navigation bar. here is the result:

[IMG="Spotify Mod NavBar"]https://i.imgur.com/uIcgSB3.png[/IMG]

For those, who are interested in how it works, you need to do the following steps:

1. Decompile the apk with apktool like described in the first post
2. Go to res/layout/bottom_navigation_bar.xml
3. Search for: <style name="BottomNavigationBar">
4. Add the line: android:layout_marginBottom="16.0dip" inbetween the other values.
5. Go to res/values/bools.xml
6. Search for <bool name="hide_bottom_navigation_items_text">true</bool>
7. Set value from "true" to "false"
8. Compile and Sign the apk like in the description from the first post
9. enjoy =)

The modification fits perfect for the fossil carleyle. For other watches you maybe need to play a little bit with the value of the margin dip.

I tried to use the wearmodder for the newest version of spotify, but it's programmed in kotlin. I couldn't de- and recompile it with apk tool properly. maybe anybody know, which tool works here? couldn't find a solution so far. the modification here would be a little bit different, but due to the fact that I wasn't able to install the apk so far, I couldn't proof the result. Maybe you guys have an idea?

cheers guys! =)
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Carapapa001:
Awesome job! I tried V2 today and works great except the navigation bar but... I don't know how to decompile an apk. I barely understand the instructions about how to do it. Could you please share your apk? :D otherwise I would try to learn how to do it! Thanks!

Thanks for all the work .

I do have a question though,

i have tried to use this tool for another app, YouTube-Go,

And it worked, but after i repackage this apk and install it, i cant login to my account, where if i just install the YouTube go, it all works. Does anyone knows how to bypass this?

i guess Google does some check on the package.

Hey folks,

First of all I would like to say that its great that there are peoples out there who take time and develop or modifiing apps or even devices just to help Others.

Speaking by my own, I get a bit disapointing due to the fact that there are so less apps outside to garantee a full displacement of our smartphones by smartwatches.

Sure the specs of the two kind of devices are enormous different, but in my view the creators of such basic apps like Spotify, Gmail, Facebook, Youtube, WhatsApp etc. should have offer a wear Os Version of there Apps a long time ago. Espacially if it seams not to be such a big deal.

So a big Thanks to all who carry out the incompetences of the big companies!

Please don't stop going ahead with your Work! You make a great Job!
