Moderator Announcement

I enjoy to see how vivid and helpful the discussion and exchange of experiences in this thread is. However, as quite often when temper overheats for whatever reasons I'd to recognise that one conversation derails into personal attacks. As much as we encourage vivid discussions including off-topic contributions (as long as the OP accepts them) as little we accept and tolerate personal attacks or deviations from the expected member conduct stipulated by rule no. 2 of the XDA Forum Rules.

Spoiler content hidden.

Statements like "A search engine is your best friend" generally doesn't add any value to a thread. Let's agree that our members do a search before they post, not only because the rules request it but in a very personal interest: They have an issue that they want to solve and to find a solution. I'm convinced it's valid to assume that a search was unsuccessful at the time a thread was created.

For the above mentioned reasons, I've edited a few posts and deleted a few other ones. Those members who got affected by my action will certainly recognise it. Please do not hesitate to contact me by a personal message in case of any question.

Last but not least a personal request: If anybody of you recognises a rule violation or feels to be offensively engaged, please only report such a post but do not reply or react to it. Any reply just lights the fire, fuels the rant and ensures that the thread derails. Just let the moderators deal with it from the very first beginning - it also eases our life.

Thanks for your cooperation! I wish everybody a great weekend. And stay safe and healthy!

Thanks for the info. Currently, I disabled the Bixby Agent and Wakeup so nothing happens when I press the hold down the Bixby Button. I wonder if I can install a dummy Bixby package that trips the flag to think it's launching Bixby.. something along those lines? Like a modded Bixby wakeup app

Also, is it possible to trigger an app when the power menu is shown?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] EthanG_1988:
These small apps are triggering off the targeted packages being opened (spay or Bixby). In order to trigger off the power menu, you would have to know the package name or possibly the system activity that is being opened, but I am not sure that the power menu would have a package/activity name that you could utilize.

Bigboot93 is your best hope for coming up with a faster or different way of doing this, since he wrote the app.

One thing that I have noticed is that my watch screen starts rotating in whatever orientation my wrist is in when I have a wireless adb connection with my phone. This usually requires a restart to fix after closing the adb connection and disabling USB debugging on the watch. I am not sure if a local adb connection on the watch would trigger this as well. This has only been a minor annoyance since I only use adb to sideload apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] BigBoot93:
I've added the ability to define custom rules now.

Theres also a bunch of predefined applications included (as entering the package/activity names on the watch is a pain):

As sources:

Bixby

Samsung Pay

Power Menu (this one is using special logic)

As targets:

Google Pay

Google Assistant Go

Please tell me if there's something missing you'd like to see added.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] BigBoot93:
Unfortunately you can't do this, there's no way to completely uninstall bixby, all you can do is disable or "uninstall" it for the user, but the system will still prevent your from installing a "dummy" package or modified version of the originals (as the signature will be invalid)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] EthanG_1988:
Awesome! I notice that opening the assistant is much faster when having the button set to the power menu vs. Bixby...I think this will make people very happy.

I would say if you could add Ultimate Alexa, then this would be the perfect solution for a lot of people, and honestly there aren't that many people using Alexa, so not a big deal if you want to be done...you have already helped provide a great workaround for a complaint that so many people have for this watch.

Package Name for Ultimate Alexa : com.customsolutions.android.alexa

Activity Name for Ultimate Alexa : com.customsolutions.android.alexa.MainActivity

It worked well for me by modifying only the strings.xml and the AppPreferences.kt files.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Thank you for your prompt response and action in this. I agree my subsequent replies to the post in question did only serve to fan the fire so lessons were learned.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
You're awesome. Thank you so much.

Edit: So I just tried it and oh my goodness it works so well. I don't think it could get much better. Can't believe somebody didn't think of this sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Wilazn:
you're a legend. thank you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Lol I'm stunned by how well this works to the point of deleting Bixby off my watch. No longer needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] BigBoot93:
Small update:

Added Ultimate Alexa as a predefined target

Changed the name to GW4 Remap (Please uninstall the old version manually)

GitHub - BigBoot/GW4Remap

Contribute to BigBoot/GW4Remap development by creating an account on GitHub.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
I linked your GitHub Page to my Sideload Library. You should get a lot of hits now. The library can be found

HERE
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Wilazn:
i think i messed up. i used adb to uninstall samsung pay and now holding the back button doesnt do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] BigBoot93:
samsung is a system app, so you can't uninstall it.

you should be able to restore it with one of those 2 commands, depending on how you removed it:

adb shell "pm install-existing com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear"
adb shell "pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear"
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kroty:
I've tried this app and it works only with Bixby long press button (didn't try the power button shortcut). Unfortunately, Samsung Pay isn't available in my country. If I'm not mistaken, this app won't work in countries without Samsung Pay, right? The long press of the back button doesn't even open Samsung Pay app.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Yes without Samsung Pay it won't work since it requires Samsung Pay to launch into the foreground first.

I recommend looking into spoofing your location so you can install and assign Samsung Pay to your Back button. You don't need it to work, you just need it to launch for a split second.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] prototovsky:
Has anyone noticed that enabling the accesibility service, the alarms and timers dismiss does not work? Turning the bezel and the screen becames unresponsive. Maybe it's a Wear OS 3 bug and not an app bug...

I've opened an issue on the github for more researching because this is an AWESOME app
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Caffeineplease:
I've successfully installed and mapped Ultimate Alexa, but when I hold the button down, the screen flashes for a second and nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] edwardob:
short press doesn't work for me now?

long press ok...

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] edwardob:
i think it's the app... not Samsung pay.... because mine back button also stopped working.... but i didn't uninstall spay
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] edwardob:
interestingly...i press spay app and then it opens assistant....

so the software end is working but hardware button is totally none functional mm

so i need reset i think... or is their afix...?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] edwardob:
ok... it's not the app....just put into waterlock mode and take back out..freaky... ok now phew!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] edwardob:
finally got it working....used fake gps app then got it....

thanks for your work here folks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kabozzi:
Is possible to set "assistant by Alberto" when i press the bixby button?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] mmeidl78:
In my case it has two times .com.com when I select Ultimate Alexa. No problem cause you can delete it manually - but it has not worked without deleting one .com.

Now it works flawlessly. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] akirainblack:
Just to say thank you for GW4_Remap... Providing functionality Samsung should have done from the beginning. :)

For anyone else who doesn't know how to install it "Wear Installer" free app worked for me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kabozzi:
Where can i find a source for a app?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] :
Battery saver option is disabling background apps.

Noticed your app is using a background service (accessibility service) to receive events from the system.

I can use your app to remap buttons if I enable battery saver?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] :
Autoanswer: App also works if battery saver mode enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] :
I have disabled Samsung Pay app via "pm disable-user com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear" command and the app isn't launching GPay anymore when I long press the watch down button.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Carybus:
just a note, after installing GW4 Remap (by the way, thanks, it's awesome), I noticed that the watch was making a weird click sound when the display was turned off.

The noise disappeared after a reboot. I just wanted people to know because it took me 2 days to think about rebooting it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] karthikb89:
I'm in India. No Samsung/ Google Pay here. How do I remap the back (bottom) key long press to an action?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gav83collins:
EDIT..... sorry its been removed

another edit... found an alternative - untested though - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skin1980.buttonremap
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
It's still available.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
It works by launching your app if choice over Samsung Pay. That's why it needs accessibility service to detect when it's in the foreground. If you disable Samsung Pay it won't work. I recommend just not activating Samsung Pay but leaving it enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
GW4Remap has been featured in a few articles now regarding GA workarounds. Thanks to Big brother and everyone here for the colloboration of ideas
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] drzeller:
Reviews say it does not work with GW4.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] BigBoot93:
I've changed the detection mechanism to work without overlaying other apps.

if somebody wants to try there are some instructions and a test apk available here: https://github.com/BigBoot/GW4Remap/issues/4#issuecomment-1158188672

After I get some feedback I'll create a new release with the new detection method.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] DroidForLife33:
The first off I want to say thank you for the great app it's been nice clicking the button and not having Samsung pay Pop Up. My watch recently got updated to Android wallet so now Android pay doesn't work when I long press the Samsung pay button. My question is how do I find the name that I need to put in there to get Android wallet to work. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] acid111:
With adb logcat i found the activity, that is now started if google wallet starts:

com.google.commerce.tapandpay.wear.cardlist.WalletThemedWearCardListActivity

I think it is not final, but it works with gw4remap now.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] MidwestDrummer:
Thank you! I couldn't find the new activity name after the version of Google Pay compatible with the GW4 was rebranded as Google Wallet.

Until BigBoot93 updates the activity path for Google Wallet (formerly Google Pay) in the predefined target, you can set it manually by pasting the following in the target field:

com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel/com.google.commerce.tapandpay.wear.cardlist.WalletThemedWearCardListActivity​
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Tefzors:
Thank you, this has worked for me. It was a PITA to write this out manually with my thumbs using the Google Keyboard on the smart watch, but after 2 minutes I've got it back up and running again.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] MidwestDrummer:
I pasted it into Facebook Message to myself on my PC, then copied the message from Facebook Messenger on my GW4 and pasted it into the target field. 😁
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Tefzors:
As it happens, I've got the messenger installed on my GW4, but didn't know you can 'copy' messages from that. I knew there was a way but didn't realise I've had it in front of me all this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Mr6P:
I tried, it somehow works but often with delays and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Sometimes all previous button presses at once. Galaxy Watch 5
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] drakonianheart:
Can this work on the watch 5?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] thugtomas:
Hardware Keys includes Power Button, Home Button, Recent Apps Button and Volume keys of devices (smartphone or tablet). Select Disable Hardware Keys option
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] sergey1977:
i reboot but sound is still there
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Sptz:
Is this still working on Watch 5 / Pro? Wanted to get rid of Samsung Pay shortcut and use Google Wallet only!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
This does work on GW5, yes.

It uses logcats now to detect button presses so you can uninstall Samsung Pay entirely and replace in with Google Pay. Can confirm it's working. Need to grant Log access through ADB first though. Just make sure you have latest version.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gorthon:
Just wanted to say a big thank you and let you know that this all worked perfectly! I installed v2.0.0-alpha1 from your Github page, followed the instructions there (used GeminiMan Wear OS Manager to sideload the app and execute the install commands, super easy) and remapped the back button to Google Pay after uninstalling Samsung Pay. Also remapped the top button to Ultimate Alexa (which I'm not sure yet whether I like it).

Great work and super helpful! The button presses are captured really quickly, I don't notice a delay. I'd say you can safely remove the "alpha" from the version label.

serious effort for WM6 on iphone

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hello all!

i was recently gifted an first generation iphone, i hacked it and unlocked it and played around with it. i was not very impressed, the hardware is awsome but the software, i find to be lacking.

at any rate it has sat in a desk drawer for a month or 2 and then i read about that faked video with wm6 on an iphone. i thought to my self why not give it a try? its not like i will be able to buy that touch hd from htc that i wanted...

so i have been doing some research and it looks like there is an arm processor in this thing, which gives me hope. i plan to use a few open source utilities such as ibooter to get an environment on this thing for wm6.

i am wondering what advice people can give me, who have hacked newer versions of WM onto an older device, what to research, what to expect or useful utilities; i have little experience with the bowels of WM.

this will be my first attempt at something this grandiose, but i have surmounted greater challenges in the past. i am not asking for help, however i am more than willing to work with anyone else who is interested.

please keep non-constructive criticisms to yourself, if people didn't try things every time there was doubt we would still be living in caves.

thanks

-ash
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sschrupp:
Good luck! I've got to say the iPhone would be WAY more appealing to me if it ran Windows Mobile. If I were you I'd maybe try and contact some of the ROM cookers in the older device threads like the Blue Angel forum.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ashrond:
thank you so much, i was honnestly beginning to wonder if i was the only person who thought this might be a good idea (especialy when i can show it to a macfanboi and ask "wheres your god now?!!") :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
OMFG !!, not another thread..if you dont wish to be made a fool out of you, i suggest please edit your title and post

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NRGZ28:
Hey STFU! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ashrond:
im guessing that there is no one here that actualy does anything more than just develop applications for WM or troll arround the fourms?

like i said im looking for peoples who have worked with the os itself.

anyone...

anyone...

buler?...

anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Samuelgames:
I saw somewhere that a Norwegian hacker did it some time ago, it is quite sad, but it is sexy to see WM running on wide screen

Here is where i saw it:

http://www.gsmdome.com/mobile-software/iphone-gets-windows-mobile-praise-the-hacker-video_399

Anyway, good luck with your progress, i want to see it running :3
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freexdalogin:
I saw it too in some other place.. that's amazing!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] can6rxw:
I just saw the video...that was cool. Looks like you got your answer there ashrond.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mehanic01:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but that video is fake,look at the very begining he manages to turn his i-phone on by just tapping on the screen. sadly it's propably just some kind of slideshow presentatio. too bad would have been nice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] can6rxw:
Doh!!!!!

Stupid Fake Video!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smokeingit:
Threads like this makes me sad, users making threads on this subject to be taken serious and fail to provide any type of commitment to achieve any goal to this subject. what im trying to say simply is... let the god damn roms chefs make threads like this and not the "omg i need WM6, on a toyphone"... i wanted wm6 so i got a phone with wm6 on it. not a god damn phone with ipod crap on it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ashrond:
wow another jackass who cant read!

like i said i am looking to do this myself, i was simply looking to get a hold of one of these "romcookers" as you ignorantly call them. i swear its people like you that make me wish for the good ol days before all the

""31337 AOL users"" got access and started ****ing things up. do everyone a favor and keep your opinion to yourself.

ps thats the video that i was talking about being fake and giving me the idea to attempt this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xan:
Well if ure serious about this, u could get a piece of advice from users such xplode, mamaich, bepe, tuatara and many many others (speaking as Blue Angel user).

Also, u might rather look in some iphone hacking forum. Furthermore, mind that iphone is quite a closed platform, so it doesnt have any documentation, besides some rev-eng done.

Anyway, there is little chance u will achieve this, and the amount work what is in front of you is more than u might expect. No man could do it alone, in one life.

Srsly, only way to do it, is to steal iphone blueprints form apple, and u will......

w8, didnt u say ur name is Bond?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MikesDroid:
People may flame you because they are 'die hard' WM fans, and anti-mac or w/e, but I must say that I wish you the best! If somebody were to do this, I would probably end up getting an iPhone. The only thing is, I don't like not having a QWERTY keyboard.

I most likely will have a WM phone for the remainder of my life / cell phone using (unless something really awesome comes out), but I love how smooth and 'error free' the iPhone is. It's just not for me w/ the current OS because you can't easily expand the iPhone as easily as you can a WM phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smokeingit:
Dear dip****,

Clearly your lack of understanding about the real related undertaking about what you asking is beyond your grasp. its like hopping on a BBS and asking for some guidance on how to do heart surgery, sounds simple... open the chest cavity and do some poking. its not as simple as just droping an app, if it were that simple as to dropping ibooter... then all the 100x groups would have already done it and taken credit for it. i really wish scrubs like you never used the internet, clearly your terrible propaganda on trying to make people believe you would be elite enough to carry such under taking. as i reflect...

ROFL "ibooter to get an environment on this thing for wm6." while you are at it, try using a bios disk to start up the MAC OS on your computer...

you have no ****ing clue what your even up against... at least i am a hardware hacker. what the **** have you done other then post. "i has a dream for WM6 on ipod" thread? Ill learn to read if you learn to stop being a dip****.

Love Smokey

Xbox hacking crew
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hotrod101:
Unless it absolutely cannot be done and it is proven that it cannot be done, why not let people keep on trying. Let them learn what they need to learn to give it a valid attempt. It would be a really intersting to see done; however, I fear that there may be some legal iussues if you are flashing WM to an IPhone - You will have to ensure that you are using a legal registered copy of WM wouldn't you? When we are flashing our current devices we already have WM on them so it is kind of a grey area since we already paid for WM however, putting WM on an IPhone which never had WM????? I don't know.

I say keep searching for your answers though until you can prove or find proof that it cannot be done. GOOD LUCK with your efforts. It may be an incredibly difficult thing to do, or who knows - Maybe it won't be that difficult if you have some kind of breakthrough.

I really can't stand it when people start assuming that they know other people and their "Qualifications" when they don't know a thing about them really. None of us really know anything about each other except for what we may publish in our profiles. Gotta have some faith in people sometimes and stop making assumptions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the-equinoxe:
Closed this thread.

This is getting out of hand!

The ONLY way to port WM6 is by writing new drivers for the iPhone.

It's not impossible, but it is a monstrous task.

A new thread is only allowed when serious steps are taken regarding (re)writing the drivers.

(So do some investigating on platform-builder!)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Anybody have any luck with getting Google phone and contacts onto GW4 in place of Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] rogerandgina06:
Have you tried to sideload google dialer to your watch? Not sure if it has support for a companion app for the watch though, just a suggestion....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] crxssi:
Not exactly sure what you mean. I don't use Samsung "contacts" on my phone, but when I go into contacts on the GW4, I see all my contacts from my Google account...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Also, see all my Google contacts on my GW 4 with my OnePlus 9 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Have not tried. Wondering if it's worth it and if the phone app can be replaced by it..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Update: Dialer cannot be Sideloaded.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] califauna:
Hi,

I have an S5 which produces no sound through either the top nor bottom loudspeaker. The top loudspeaker produces a constant, very faint high pitched squeal.

I have tried:

1. Using the housing of another S5, as this housing contains the top loudspeaker.

2. Replacing the bottom loudspeaker with a new one.

The symptoms do not change after the above changes. The phone works fine apart from this.

I have a soldering station, multimeter, and basic tools.

Thanks for any troubleshooting help!
