Salutare.

RO:

Puteti face un top al aplicatiilor pe care le folositi? Banuiesc ca multi dintre voi le-au folosit cel putin 6 luni pana acum.

Ce m-ar interesa pe mine :

- un gps (waze spre exemplu - l-am instalat dar nu se deschide aplicatia).

- youtube vance (l-am instalat dar am senzatia ca se misca foarte lent.... am instalat browser-ul si merge mult mai ok doar ca na...este pe browser).

- poate este din cauza faptului ca am Iphone dar notificarile de pe ceas (mesaje whatssup, messenger, mesaje normale) sunt doar cateva cuvinte din mesaj si expeditorul...nu pot vedea tot textul, nu pot raspunde, nu pot vedea video-urile... de aceea mi-as fi dorit whatssup doar ca la fel, nu merge sa-l instalez cu adb-ul.

EN:

Can you make a list of the applications you use? I guess many of you have used them for at least 6 months now.

What would interest me:

- a gps (waze for example - I installed it but the application does not open).

- youtube vance (I installed it but I have the feeling that it moves very slowly .... I installed the browser and it works much better just because no ... it's on the browser).

- maybe it's because I have an iPhone but the notifications on my watch (whatssup messages, messenger, normal messages) are just a few words from the message and the sender ... I can't see all the text, I can't answer, I can't see the videos . ... that's why I would have liked whatssup just as well, it doesn't work to install it with the adb.

Multumesc/ Thank you!

I just tried the Petal Browser (Play Store) and looks a bit more usable than the Samsung Browser on the watch.

Perfect for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc.
[Huawei Watch] trailmaker:
Can you give more details on how to use Bugjaeger and Remote ADB to install apps from Play store?
[Huawei Watch] avers:
With the Bugjaeger and the Remote ADB you can do exactly the same as in the first post, but straight from your phone. Don't need a PC.

1. Download the apk you want to install. You can use Aptoide to download the apk, or just simple install it from the Google Play Store to your phone (you can get the apk with Total Commander (Play store) just simple copy the desired apk from the "Installed apps" to any Folder on your storage)

2. Put your watch into wifi-debug mode (as it written down in the first post) when you connect the wifi don't forget to turn the BT off on your watch otherwise the debug won't connect.

3. Connect the Remote ADB to the IP address given by the watch's wifi-debug and turn off the app verification:

pm disable-user com.android.packageinstaller

4. Connect the Bugjaeger to the same IP address and in the apps view you can install apk to the watch from the phone (the + on the top of the screen)

NOT every installation will be successful or work without issues, but it's a watch with a small screen with Harmony OS without Google!

Some apps needs modify its permissions or must be uninstalled,

It's possible ONLY from the Apps menu on the watch! The uninstall from watch with long press not always working.

You can also download/upload files from/to the watch with Bugjaeger.

If you have no wifi around, just turn on the Hotspot on your phone and connect your watch. The adb debug is working that way too.

Do these all carefully, don't modify/remove any system files from the watch otherwise you have to reset it to factory settings and start again!
[Huawei Watch] CristiM01:
Hey all,

Is there any way one can install .hwt having an IPhone? Maybe copy and install the files, with ADB, directly from the watch?

Did anyone find a way to move from IOS to Android and back without resetting the watch, considering it runs HarmonyOS?
[Huawei Watch] NTAHS:
Hello guys, great work everyone. I made some progress with Curve. At first I tried to install the Curve.apk I downloaded from the web. It installed OK, but when opening the app won't proceed due to lack of GMS. Aparrently there is no apk for Curve that has enabled the NFC payment option (that is only for huawei phones). So what I did was:

1. Install Curve on my P30 pro from Huawei appgallery

2. Clear Curve app data

3. Used APK EXTRACTOR to extract the Curve apk

4. Installed the Curve apk with the method mentioned above

5. Success!

Curve launches on Huawei watch 3 (gms problem solved!) and asks for log in information, otp password etc.

I was unable to type the passwords because I could't see the whole screen so I changed the watch DPI by using: adb shell wm density 120 (default is 320). I logged in to Curve succesfully. After typing my 4digit PIN it proceeds to asking me to activate contactless payments on the device, but then the app crashes.

This is as far as I managed to go! Hopefully someone else pickes it up!🙏
[Huawei Watch] ron_hyatt:
Does whatsapp apk and facebook messenger apk work ? does the watch ring normally when receiving whatsapp notifications? can wireless tws paired to the watch work with voice notes and calls on whatsapp? and how many days of your normal use are you getting on a single charge?
[Huawei Watch] ecsclusiv:
Hi,

The watch changes the ringtone of the phone to a predefined watch tone.

If I turn off the watch , the phone returns to the ringtone predefined by me on the phone.

The watch is connected to a Huawei p 30 pro
[Huawei Watch] jmikepr:
Anybody have any luck getting Home assistant running in any kind of way? WearOS app, web browser, 3rd party client app? Literally anything.

That’s really my biggest need. I banged my head on it for a LONG time and couldn’t make it work. I was able to get smart things open but it was very janky and I primarily use Home Assistant.
[Huawei Watch] rubber_chin:
Hi, this thread has been a godsend and one of the biggest reasons I returned my Samsung Watch 4 for a Huawei Watch 3 Pro and a Huawei Watch 3 to test. So thanks to everyone else contributing!

My experience so far adding APKs from APKPure....

⌚ Huawei Browser (Not Working)

UI Experience: Opens onto Google. UI scaling is too big.

Issues: Crashes after 5 seconds and closes down, back to App screen.

⌚Here Maps (Not Working)

UI Experience: Opens onto starting screen, UI scaling is too big

Issues: Cant proceed, can't scroll, can't click on anything.

⌚Samsung Browser (Good)

UI Experience: Surprisingly good, very usable

Issues: Not optimised for small/round screen.

⌚Opera Touch Browser (Not Working)

Issues: Installs but won't open with the error message - "System's web Components (Webview) is not available right now. Try again later"

⌚Spotify Lite (Good)

UI Experience: Decent, very usable

Issues: Not optimised for small/round screen. Slow to load. UI elements overlap on the screen.

⌚Google Maps Go (Good)

UI Experience: Decent, very usable

Issues: Not optimised for small/round screen.

Comment: Much more functionality than Petal Maps app. Search maps, get directions, explore on watch.

⌚Stocard (Native App)

Anyone know how to enable payments? I can see it advertised and reported on but can't work it out...

⌚ Huawei Wallet (Native App)

Whenever I try to add cards via the phone's Huawei Health app, it just returns an error message "Query Failed". What's going on?!

📝 Mini Review/Comments on Watch 3 Pro vs Watch 3

Preferred the look and feel of the Watch 3. The screen on the Pro has a more noticeable air gap but the benefit of longer battery life of the Pro wins it for me. Disappointed there is no tap-to-wake feature option.
[Huawei Watch] kriguerr:
i made HereWeGo maps to work with an old version from apkpure

Mapas e navegação do HERE WeGo - V2.0.15172 / armeabi-v7a​

its fairly usable, i couldnt download map yet tho
[Huawei Watch] CRX_:
Well this all makes the HW3 much more fun Thanks!

I've been playing around with must be a few hundred apps by now

and come to a list of useful usable apks and also some for just purely

entertainment purposes.

Some notes on some of these:

Alarm Clock - 2.9.13

This is an alarm & timer where you can set your own sounds, bit fiddly to get to the

sound settings but can be done. Good once set up.

Still can't believe the stock alarm apps have no sound...

.

All In One Offline Maps - 3.8d

Brilliant maps app once set up that will stay on screen, no swiping right to close etc.

It has some very useful features though the font can be too small.

I like the distance line.

Best to set the information boxes style background to transparent, again can be fiddly getting to all the settings there but great once set up.

Like the app store AutoMapa but far superior.

Can take some time & effort to store downloaded maps for quicker use, takes a lot of storage space.

.

AudioGlow - 3.1.7

Audizer - 0.9.8

Sound visualisation apps.

.

Cool Bubble Level - 2.0.0

Interesting switching spirit levels, can be temperamental, sometimes need to clear data.

Only one I've got to work so far.

.

Cool Tool - 5.8.6 Pro

Can be set up to show GPS satellites status, small gauges, graphs & other overlays on screen.

.

CX File Explorer - 1.8.0

Would have been lost without this and DropBox hooked up too.

So now I have pictures, movies, files etc on the watch.

.

FireFox - 97.1.0

Most usable browser so far.

.

GPS Connected - 2.11

Lock in GPS signal between apps, very nice. Uses a lot of power though.

.

GPS Test Plus - 1.6.2

Good for some sat info and updating AGPS.

.

Horn & Siren - 1.0

I swapped out some of the sounds for my own with this one, horns, whistles and other nonsense.

.

Lux Light Meter - 031.2022.01.11

Not a bad light meter that seems fairly accurate.

.

Lux Light Meter 2 - 10.0

Another simpler light meter.

.

Metal Detector - 1.2.02

Works somewhat.

.

Oxford English Dictionary - 11.7.717

Downloaded the offline files.

.

PDF Reader - 1.1.2

Simple PDF reader, still looking for something better.

.

More to follow:
[Huawei Watch] CRX_:
Project M - 7.6

Trippy music visualizer, a couple are semi transparent so will show over your watchface.

.

Pulsar+ Pro - 1.10.8

Much better than the stock music player for playing stored music files if you

store each album/ playlist in it's own folder.

You need to prefix songs with numbers 01,02,03 etc if you want them to play in a specific order.

Use the health app to transfer songs, they will be in the Music- blutooth folder in main storage, use CX File Explorer to move them to custom named folders in main storage music.

.

Seismograph Hamm - 2.0

Triple axis seismograph - just because.

.

Shazam - 12.13.0-220224

.

Sensors Suite- 1.5.03

Various sensor data.

.

Sound Generator - 2.1

A tone generator for annoying dogs, testing hearing etc...

.

Sound Meter - 1.2.6

A little sound meter to play with.

.

Sound Wave Pro - 3.1.0

A fun spectrum analyser line, works through microphone.

.

Spectroid - 1.1.1

Audio spectrum analyser.

.

Spotify - 8.7.101262

Online music player.

.

Voice Recorder - 55.1

Voice recorder with more features than stock version.

.

Volume Slider Control - 1.2.1

I like this one, simple volume control popup bar on any screen.

Swipe from bottom. Needs re-enabled sometimes.

.

Wheel Launcher Lite - 1.448

Handy aux side launcher for most used apps, I keep my GPS stuff here for quick access.

Can be opened via swipe or shake, settings can be tricky.

Free version works but paid did not for some reason.

.

WiFi Data - 4.3.2

Simple wifi signal strength reader.

.

.

Some of these work best as paid versions.

The search continues...
[Huawei Watch] kriguerr:
Thank you so much @CRX_ , i installed some of those, including the standard spotify, wich is working and fell much better than the lite version (specially for downloaded musics)

I will try to make a post later today to showcase my findings... i could make a lot of the apps to work with great usability like Todoist, some synology programs like VLC with DSVideo, DSfiles and Drive with NAS, remote desktop and more :)

How do u take those screenshots ? i could make something similar ... i guess its better than filming with my phone lol
[Huawei Watch] CRX_:
Cool.

I mostly just took pictures of the watch face, crop them then overlay with a blank HW3 image to be a bit more presentable :)

I haven't found a screenshot app that works yet, not sure if it's even possible. Other images I use are from watch faces I've made, mix & match.
[Huawei Watch] kismarian:
For some reason, even if I don't know which type of weirdo person would do that... Geforce now kinda works. Didn't tested in game yet, I had 380 people in front of me on queue list of GeForce now so i postponed the test.
[Huawei Watch] Stogie87:
Hey Guys,

i just wanne let you know, that the following apps are also working very well:

- Dropsync (even with the paid pro file apk)

- Colornote

- DavX

- Tägliche Bittgebete

- bitslide

- Bromite Browser (definitively the best working browser for this watch atm!)

- Slack (arm version)

- Threema

- Telegramm (official)

- Bgram (telegram alternative without reminders for app updates)

- Viber

- Whatsapp

And not perfect, but also usable:

- calendar app from apkpure (in combination with DavX it syncs and shows the calendar events from google)

But i can not get any e-Mail app working.

The only app i could install and which syncs my mails is aquamail, but if i try to read an e-mail, it force close.

Could anyone also provide a working youtube vanced apk?

For me every vanced apk i tried, caused problems or was not usable.

And is there any way to permanantly disable system notifications like connecting the watch to the phone or the annoying reminder to turn on location service again?

And can anyone recommed a working standalone calendar app, which can be synced with google calendar?

One Calender seems to work, but i don`t find any way to include my gmail calender...

And is there already any way to root this watch?

Regards

CAN I INSTALL WEAR OS APPS ON huwaui WATCH??
[Huawei Watch] tomy159:
Hi Guys,

Firstly must say big thanks for this thread.

I was thinking why need huawei watch 3 pro esim if will only work for calls and sms (originally not whattsapp that I use 90%)

But then I find this here and change mind.

Right now spotify works great I really love now my watch 3 pro and the options to install others apps is best.

Just now want ask where you take vanted apk. (everywhere is vanted manager but not player.)

And where find working whattsapp.

I try 3 aps what I find but didn't work even in install cone some error.

Also want ask if someone can share curve app I want try if will work 😂😉

Is there any list where I can find working app with download link? That will help

Thanks mates I really glad I find this.
[Huawei Watch] toan19751215:
Just install Pure Tuber, it works great on my Watch 3
[Huawei Watch] tomy159:
And one more thing

Want ask someone who got connect by esim if data working on it.

I mean when you go out running etc left phone home and you got esim activated its watch has Internet for Spotify or whattsapp?

Can someone test it please I not have esim yet but will have in 6 months

Thanks
[Huawei Watch] SmooK_LV:
Did you try switching default NFC payment app after these steps? So if you go in settings of your watch, "more connections", "tap&pay" you can select Huawei Wallet. But maybe for you, you can now select Curve
[Huawei Watch] NTAHS:
I think I did without success, but I am not sure. Did you?
[Huawei Watch] Teetolino:
how can i install apps on my huawei watch 3?
[Huawei Watch] Teetolino:
I took all the steps until I reached the point where the applications fit on the smart watch huawei 3 pro. I do this from a laptop and I don't know the commands to install the applications. It's the first time I've done such a thing. Can someone help me?
[Huawei Watch] SmooK_LV:
It's possible it just runs out of ram and then just crashes. I tried with my local banking app and it did show up in the tap&pay menu, bet once I get past the login it crashes. (could also be some google services it is calling but I don't have Huawei Phone to get apk for that).

I have another local banking app supporting their own direct use of NFC but that one I don't have any cards assigned so no point in testing that besides just seeing if it won't crash.

I will try some more ideas.
[Huawei Watch] mariusz555:
Hi Guys.

First of all this thread is a big game changer to me. Just bought this watch and i was quite disappointed how few apps are officialy availeable on it but thanks to you there is a little hope.

I tried youtube vinted and i found that it's no longer supported. Just got this app New Pipe and it looks promissing but it's not fitted for screen. I can't tap the search option...

Is there any alternative or any way to scale this app to fit the watch?
[Huawei Watch] albdr88:
build number is not showing up for me!!
[Huawei Watch] tomy159:
If you have watch 3 /watch 3pro then setting-about and there will build number

If you have GT watch then there is no build number
[Huawei Watch] tomy159:
Yes that's why, this is only for watch 3 and watch 3 pro.

I know its say harmony OS but GT 3 Line is lite OS renamed to Harmony Os

[Huawei Watch] Woodend:
Hi there,

thanks to all the effort everyone is making on here. I´m really on the fence with the 3 pro and leaning onto buying the watch 4 classic as I am not able to install the apks on to my watch. I have put all my downloaded apps into the same folder as the minimal adb, but it won't find the apps. Don't know why. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me, I can no longer connect the watch through the bugjaeger application to install applications after the last update 2.1.0.237.

It no longer sees the Wi-Fi address. There is a solution

Me no problem. Also update to 2.1.0.237

am getting no route to host message with bugjaegar after the watch latest update

edit: seems it was just the buggy bugjaeger app,now its working but samsung internet browser doesnt not install!

Good people, it was connected with bugjaeger until the last update, since then it is no longer connected no matter how I tried from 3 phones, I don't want to restart the watch because it deletes everything I installed and I'm not sure if I can connect it again with bugjaeger
[Huawei Watch] ecsclusiv:
And I installed and reinstalled bugjaeger and nothing.

I tried Google Maps 11.48.0803 but this one exited shortly after opening. The older version 10.63.6 works just fine (you just have to enable the locations permission through the Huawei app settings menu) but I have problem with the missing back button because when I start a navigation I cannot get out of it anymore. This is also a problem in "All in One Maps" when you go to the settings because I could not find a way to get out of it again. Swiping to get back does not work here. Do you have any ideas how to do this?
[Huawei Watch] VolterMort:
Hello,

I just managed to install, for test, Google Wallet, but is closing immediately after opening. The point is that I managed to do this using Bugjaeger on the last version of HarmonyOS 2.1.0.239.
[Huawei Watch] Purasu:
yea same difficulties with facebook lite... anyone know how to go back without a back button?
[Huawei Watch] tester2:
Anyone have tried:

1. any scripting app like Tasker or Macrodroid?

2. any button remap app? (long press, double press, etc.)

3. anyone know how to set up scheduled wifi on/off or airplane mode?

4. watch's screen sharing/mirroring over wifi to desktop PC?

This topic really changed my feelings towards my Huawei Watch 3!

Tried to install Vanced and installation was succesful, but the app wont work. It just goes to black screen.

Also tried Whatsapp from apkpure and I got error message:

failed to install whatsapp.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

Could someone explain whats that about? But im HYPED and will keep testing different apps and apk:s for sure!

This is pretty damn good smartwatch for the price (paid 125€ in finland, some crasy offer...). Also my watch is stuck at version 2.0.0.216.

edit: Version 2.22.22.75 of WhatsApp works nice! (WhatsApp Messenger_2.22.22.75_Apkpure.apk)
[Huawei Watch] kusikiisseli:
Wtf, 125€, from which store? I just got 3 Pro for 299€ from DNA and that's the best deal I found.
[Huawei Watch] nahkairma:
It was 200€ and I had otherwise pretty useless 75€ lahjakortti so 125€ was alright I gues. This is really off topic, but now im struggleling with the 2.0.0.216 update bug and GPS stuff. Gonna send it to mcare.

Ive been playing around with many apps and im really suprised how many of them runs just fine. Scaling is huge problem and many GUI buttons are out of screen. Made a topic about this and possible workarounds!
