[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Interesting apps

in the Play Store (II)

.

More apps that I use and recommend, about Informer I would have to do more tests and check if there is a high battery consumption with the app activated. Those who have been using the app for a long time, what do you think about the battery consumption?

Bugjaeger Mobile ADB: (Download here)​

The app is an adb command emulator that can be run from an android phone. Personally the app has become my preferred tool to send and install apps on my watch via apk. You won't need to install any app on the watch to make it bridge like Wear Installer, you just need to connect it via Wi-Fi and that's it, no computer. Also with the app you can do many more things, it is very powerful, I list the most useful to control the watch:​

Commands tab: Execute ADB commands or custom shell scripts to control the watch.

Log tab: read and export clock message log (logcat).

Packages tab: Install/Uninstall Apps, list and filter installed apps, open apps remotely, extract apk files from installed apps and send them to the phone.

Screencap tab: Take screenshots and send them to the phone.

Device tab: Information and specifications of O.S., CPU, memory, battery and screen.

Files tab: Send files from phone to watch (and vice versa), delete files from watch, modify watch file permissions.

Backup tab: Backup the watch (and restore it).

To connect and to be able to execute the functions, you only have to do the following:​

On the watch, go to Settings > System > About and tap "Build number" several times until you see a message that says "you are now a developer". Next go to Settings > developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debugging over Wi-Fi".

Make sure both your watch and mobile are connected to the same wifi network, momentarily disable bluetooth on your watch if Wi-Fi is not enabled on the watch. Now go to Settings > Connectivity > Wifi, click on the network you are connected to and write down the IP of your network.

In the Bugjaeger app of the phone click on the plug icon, enter the IP of your network and press "Connect".

When connecting you will see a notification appear on your watch where you have to give permission to link the phone to the watch, so click on "Always allow from this computer". Now in the app you will see the notification "Connected" and you will see the list of apps that are on the watch.

Yr (Download here).​

A very cool weather forecast app, the weather service is provided jointly by NRK and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. It is one of the most popular weather services in the world. At a glance you see day-by-day and hour-by-hour details in the forecast, alternative to the stock weather app.​

Informer: (Download here).​

This is an app that improves the way you receive notifications and their management on your watch. The free version allows:​

Present instant cards (better than Wear OS notifications) and allow you to reply to messages with a single tap.

Give instant replies with predefined messages or by "voice to text".

View images received via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram directly on the watch.

Receive WhatsApp call notifications.

Set notification vibration patterns according to contact.

Display notification history and missed calls.

You can set the do not disturb time (phone and watch will be in silent mode).

The Premium version (0,99 €/month) also allows you to listen to WhatsApp voice messages, accept WhatsApp voice and video calls (and answer them by voice), adjust the notification font size, among other things. For much more extensive info and tricks enter here.​

Considerations:

​

To receive notifications you must grant permissions to read notifications and storage permission, you must also install the app on the phone and watch.

To avoid duplicate notifications (stock and informer), disable stock notifications in the Wear OS app on the phone, go to notifications > Change notifications watch and disable duplicate apps.
