Wear mini launcher - LG G Watch

Found this article, Android Police: [New App] Wear Mini Launcher Is The First Custom App Launcher For Android Wear. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIw_tLNvBo
Essentially it's a launcher to get to your apps quicker. Here's a link to the play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher

It's quite nice. Someone already posted this though (I just can't remember where xD) and it isn't really a full launcher, just a quicker way to access apps without voice. Still pretty neat though, I love it

now we just need some apps

We need an android wear store

They need to start adding these apps with "android wear" in the title, you can't find them very easily

I did check if there was installed yesterday, but it wasn't there. When I now checked for the app, it was installed on the watch. For some reason it didn't install the app right away. Thanks!

Quickest way to make sure they install is to go to Android Wear on your phone and then Settings and hit Resync Apps. Same thing happened to me until I figured this out.

[Q] Gallery/ Photo watch face

I see that the Samsung Gear Live has a watch face that allows you to chose an image, but this has been omitted from the G Watch.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get this at the moment? The Play Store has nothing.

Search on the play store for
"android wear"
and include the " " it will bring lots more up.

Minuum on G watch

I just got my link to Minuum for android wear. The only problem is that I'm at work and of course I don't have my cradle with me, so I'll have to wait till tonight. I tried using adb thru bluetooth but I'm not sure exactly how it works, so I guess it'll have to wait till tonight. So excited...
I got it about a week ago loaded on g watch but would not bring up a keyboard just instructions.

I got my invite, but I haven't installed it yet. Later tonight, I guess.
As far as I know, it's completely useless at the moment as Android Wear doesn't allow for keyboard input.

for now yes, but in the future. answer a sms from your watch without having to chose from a preset. or send that tiny whatsapp message from your watch. theres possibilities with it.
I tried it, got the app to run, but never managed to get the keyboard to pop up.
The only issue is that few/no apps support keyboard entry. I was hoping to test SWApp - that insists on keyboard entry at configuration (but no joy with that either).
Edit: fixed
It was a conflict with Wear Mini Launcher - some GPU resource issue maybe. On your phone, open wear mini launcher, set 'enable drawer' to off. Obviously this means you can't have the launcher active, but at least it is possible to test, without having to un-install.

Calculator App?

I was surprised that there isn't a stock calculator app. What lightweight ad free app are people using for calculator?
There is a stock calculator. It is just hidden in the toolkit app in the app drawer. I dragged it out to the home screen, and it is pretty similar (the same?) as the Google calculator. Just a different color.

i use Calc+ Smart Calculator.
Is there a way to get it out of the toolkit app? It's a bit annoying having to go into it every time to use the built in calculator.

Press and hold on the calculator while in toolkit. That'll create a copy to your homescreen.

I can't tell if it happened immediately after the last nougat update or recently. I can see it in system apps using solid Explorer but cannot start it. Solid Explorer claims it's corrupt.

Android 6 UK today

Ok so how many others got the OTA to Android 6 in UK today ? its looking great and running faster, but my only issue is it will not allow me to set any launchers like google?
Google Launcher can be selected as of Marshmallow I think, if not other all the launchers are working smoothly with Marshmallow.
EMUI 5 (if arrived) will have inbuilt App drawer. And it seems that App drawer is the main thing for which people were using Google Launcher in EMUI.

As said, if they release sources for Kirin, it might be helpful.

To apply it you have to go to the themes app that came with the phone. Them click on the tab that says "me" on the bottom right, then click customize and click on text and your downloaded font should be in there.

I'm in the UK. But did you click on the tab that says Me on the bottom right of the themes home screen or click on customize whatever you downloaded with the other themes manager should show up. Maybe you could reboot or close the stock themes app and reopen it so it can refresh. I didn't have to reboot though.

Oh no thats unfortunate. What about sideloading the latest apk? For some reason I can't post any files with this xda app for a while now. Says I don't have persission and I've been a member for nearly 10 years with no problems. Else I'd post it here for you. Wonder If a moderator could check that out for me?

Go it! Now quick question, are you logged in to Huawei ID? If so that's probably why I can't see the " me" tab. I'm currently logged in but when I go themes, for a strange reason I'm not logged in
