Control Android phone/tablet from Android Wear
There are some apps to control your PC from Android Wear via Android phone/tablet. However I couldn't find apps to control Android phone from Android wear like mouse. This is just a challenge to do that.
Could you try this app and check performance on your smartwatch?
At first, you need to find your touch screen settings, /dev/input/eventX, see the last section of this post.
Note that this app requires root permission. I recommend uninstalling it and reboot after trial for security of your device.
2015.5.17
The latest version 0.4.0 gets Transfer Mode and Receiver apk. You can control another Android device running Receiver from Wear.

Description
Android has Input SubSystem, /dev/input/eventX the same as Linux, processing user input from input devices including touch screen. We can emulate user input by injecting input event to Input SubSystem, but normal user has no permissions and that is protected by SELinux. Therefore we need root permission and changing SELinux policy.
What is this app for? well... for tablet on stand
Select touch screen from eventX
Android device has some /dev/input/eventX, X is number from 0, so you need to know which X links to your touch screen. The number of touch screen is depending on device. The following page is helpful for X:
LMT Launcher's thread on XDA
For Nexus4, touch screen is /dev/input/event2, and RatioX = 200%, and RatioY = 200%.
More information is here (Readme.md on github).
First of all, great idea for the app! I was looking for a way to control my phone completely from my watch!
Secondly I tried out your app on my LG G watch r and nexus 5 and noticed a few things.
The performance differs, sometimes I get almost no delay and sometimes it's over a second. At first I found the arrow moving a bit slowly but changing the speed to 200% helped! (although the delay did get bigger).
It is difficult to swipe with the app. When trying to move around my homescreen I pick up and move all the widgets in stead of swiping to the next page. I face less problems at swiping through for example the tapatalk app.
Aside from the delay I think you're off to a very good start! And I would like to test out future updates!

Thank you very much for your feedback! Thanks to your report, I'll get a real Android Wear device! not emulator. (I obtained permission to buy it!)
I think that the main cause of the delay is the amount of data from watch to handheld. I'll reduce the data and improve accessibility by adjusting UI, and update app and movie as soon as possible.

Worked amazingly well on my moto 360 + N4! Any posibility to change the X into something else?
It's more of a show-off app for me at the moment, but it does show what wear is capable of, hope you keep updating it
Might also be worth to post this app on www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/ Lot's of people there compared to here.

Thank you for your help! I can't wait for my smartwatch, LG G Watch R, by your feedback. (moto 360 isn't sold in Japan...) I'll post at reddit too then I get a watch.
You can select the X, /dev/input/eventX, in setting of Wearable Pad.
Need some advice
Hi,
First of, nice to see this app being available.
I got a moto 360 and LG G2.
I can get the red X to move around but taping does not work, do I Need LMT app as well?
Double clicking screen on moto 360 brings up double click, task etc and the all work.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Thanks

Thank you for your feedback. You don't need LMT app, only refer "input devices/touchscreen to screen factors".
Now, I got a real smartwatch device, LG G Watch R, and I updated Wearable Pad. Single tap also works on Nexus 4 + G Watch R.
Could you try latest apk? mobile-release_v0.2.0.apk is here:
https://drive.google.com/folderview...djaUt0Q25vRC1RbFlmZjZnUVlSbDdaUWs&usp=sharing
Note that the UI is changed, please see https://github.com/tkgktyk/WearablePad#pad-ui.
Thanks for the update, I really like it! It's much more responsive than before and I really like the swipe buttons , they make browsing internet or scrolling through my apps a lot easier! Also swiping away running apps is great! The only problem left is moving around my homescreens. The buttons don't move it far enough to get to the next page and by tap+swiping I get it to move about one tenth of the time. But I don't grab and move all my widgets like before so that's a big plus!

Thank you for fast feedback. Now we can't start voice search triggered by "OK Google" on Wearable Pad. I'll append that capability and new mode to grab (press) without keeping on pressing watch for your issue.

I'm developer of application that allows to control tablet (or phone) with gestures similar to iPad.
GMD GestureControl on XDA
I added support for Nexus 10, but I didn't know touchscreen resolution, so I need your help.
If your device is rooted, please install application from that thread (or Play Store) and send me calibrations values:
1) Open application
2) Go to 'Advanced' tab
3) Click 'Calibrate' and follow instructions on screen. Basically you have to click 'Start' and then touch borders till calibration values stop increasing (maximum is registered). Then click 'Stop'
4) Open Help tab, click Email developer->Good overridden settings. Application will prepare email with calibration values. Email it to me.
Thank you.
Just sent you an email. Hope it helps but not entirely sure if the values are right because the screen resolution of a Nexus 10 should be 2560x1600.

Thank you. I updated values. Touch screen resolution may differ from display resolution. Android does mapping inside, but I cannot retrieve these values, so I have to add these values into application or users have to do calibration.
Your app rocks!

Love the work! I have been around XDA for a long time, probably three or four years before I started using this screen name & they added the one name rule. I have always supported those developers that seem good people with great ideas. I never tried your "lite" version, nor did I try any XDA beta versions. I read what the app did, loved the idea, saw a few screen shots & reviews/comments from a few folks I know & respect & instantly purchased both GMD & S-Pen Gesture Control pro apps from the Play Store. I also instantly shared my positive feedback with many via G+ & a few sites.
Having a long XDA history, I have seen a lot of great ideas come & go. Some never quite live up to what they could be, some are ahead of their time & others just are nothing new, just the latest incarnation of some semi-popular feature.
Occasionally though, something comes along that is simple, yet elegant & happens to be an absolutely precise representation of tha natural progression & evolution of base features. This app is just that, the extension of natural progression that touch navigation is becoming. This app is like a feature that should already be integrated from Google, so natural & simple, and yet, so necessary. Anyone that hasn't at least played with this app, is missing out. It is by far my favorite app & I highly recommend supporting the developer, whomever he or she is.

Totally agree (gestures only!). I`m in the middle of making my Nexus 7 `gestures only`... and in the process , I`m getting more screen real estate (no more status/nav bar!). Great app!!
Hey Stupididea, Can you help?
All I want to do is simple snappy ios gestures.
5 finger pinch to home-close
4 finger swipe left or right to switch apps.
5 finger pinch to close-home is not in the default settings so I had to make a custom one.
Its works,.. after 8-9 attempts..
I think Im missing something here. Can you assist with a walk-through of reccomended settings for what im looking to do, or
perhaps update the next build with these settings as a default toggle?
Cheers!

What you wanna do is the following:
1. Go to custom gesture tab
2. press create gesture
3. type in your desired gesture name
4. type "P" (without quotes) in Gesture Path
5. select 5 touch points
6. Tap action type and select: Action -> Status Bar Actions -> Home
7. Hit "Save"
8. You're done!
I need to lay off the sauce.lol I just noticed the 4 finger pinch to close. Works great!
This is a quick thread to track some of the apps I've tried out and have kept or haven't gotten to work. Most of these where downloaded from the Play Store using the APK and method described by Lokifish's Info thread.
Post your favorite apps and ideas
Best Hardware Mod Ever:
- Drill holes to access power and home in the dock
- highly recommended general apps
-- chrome - browser works well
-- gmd gesture control - create custom gesture controls available in all apps. needs lokifish security patch to request superuser access. I've disabled all the default gestures and made some user gestures for home, volume control, change input method, and search buttons (diagonal swipes from each corner)
-- lux - lower the brightness to level below 0% for better low-light visibility and some battery savings. Has options to use the camera for automatic brightness settings, but I have the manual bar in my notification tray
-- mx player - video player with gesture controls
-- no lock - disables touch screen events, can be triggered via the hardware camera key (remapped thanks to xposed additions) to minimize accidental actions and unintended battery drain
-- sambadroid - fileserver on your wrist, great way to move files around on your wrist
-- sharekm - use your computer keyboard and mouse to control the screen over wifi and bluetooth
-- swipe statusbar - temporarily show the statusbar in other apps
-- watchfaces - the version on play seems to work better for me
- recommended xposed modules
-- ultimate dynamic nav bar - AMAZING bottom on-screen navigation bar module for xposed framework. I have it setup with back, home, menu, recent apps, vol+, vol-, and hide navbar on screen. There's a light version on the play store, but the author has the full version in his thread above. worth the cost to support the dev!
-- app settings - set per application dpi, density, and rotation overrides.... without rebooting!
-- gravitybox - general tweaks and setting for mtk based devices
-- xposed additions - allows you to reassign the functions of the 2 physical buttons for better customisation. supports single press, multiple presses, long presses. I have the home button long press mapped to the android camera action to trigger "no touch" screen locking
- working companion app options (none are perfect. none can easily turn on the screen and display the alert when locked. however everyone has their own needs for companion applications. )
-- m2d my second device - recieve alerts and control media players over bluetooth. a bit complicated to configure and still in early development, but functional. Author is active on XDA and has been working with smartwatches forever.
-- omate companion app from ostore + truesmart master app from play - limited functionality at the moment, passes notifications as recieved on the phone which means often you'll get an alert that there are "3 new messages", no way to respond
-- swapp link - recieve and reply to sms, answer and make calls, recieve alerts, control media players. easier to configure than m2d
-- tablet talk - answer calls, receive and reply to sms (messenger app only) to your phone from the omate over bluetooth (flakey) or wifi (power hungry). requires adjustment of dpi for use
- untested companion app options
-- notisync - listed as working on galaxy gear forums and has a good truesmart review on play. potential battery hog
-- pushbullet -
-- tablet notifier - listed on galaxy gear forums, reviews indicate connectivity problems
- working
-- big launcher - home launcher replacement designed with big ui elements
-- dropbox - requires dpi modification (use app settings xposed module) to access all the ui
-- easytether pro - tether your phone's connectivity to your watch
-- es explorer - popular file manager, I mainly use it for easy smb share browsing / streaming
-- Firefox - browser works well too although a bit slow.
-- flit keyboard - great small form factor keyboard
-- foldersync - sync folders to cloud systems
-- foscam viewer - ip cam viewer, ui elements are a bit large but otherwise working
-- gmd hide soft keys - "once rooted ... makes life much easier as it gives you soft keys to use"
-- pocket - offline web page viewing
-- nova launcher - works well
-- swype keyboard - i like it better than fleksy
-- titanium backup - scheduled backups
-- total commander - classic file manager with networking plug-ins for everyday use
-- Twitter - works well ... you can tap on a tweet to automatically zooms up a more readable size.
-- Yahoo weather - works great
- non-working
-- blueputdroid - use your watch as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. incompatible bluetooth stack
-- Tweetcaster - doesn't refresh and gets stuck on an old date
- testing
-- datasync+ - paid version supports sync of app and data files over bluetooth. still haven't finished testing!
reserved for future use
Twitter works well but not tweetcaster which is my fav. Tweetcaster for some reason doesn't refresh and gets stuck on an old date. Twitter is nice as you can tap on a tweet to automatically zooms up a more readable size.
Yahoo weather works great,
Firefox browser works well too although a bit slow.
I'm doing this with WiFi directly connected to my home WiFi. Can't wait for the Bluetooth connectivity to be fixed so I can use the internet shared with my phone.

There's an xposed module called "App Settings" which will allow you to change the dpi for just the dropbox application. May be worth a try. I know foldersync supports dropbox, but I don't make much use of my dropbox account so I couldn't say

Google Experience Launcher is fantastic.
I absolutely love the News+ paid version. It's a news reader that will actually read out Google News and your individual RSS feeds. I can listen to the news while getting ready in the morning without having to drag my phone along with me. I've also installed the Ivona text-to-speech which significantly increases the quality of the voice.
They both work perfectly and have added amazing value to the Truesmart for me.

A dremel 'hack' to access buttons while in cradle/dock
Not an App, but I wasn't sure where best to post this.
While waiting for a better method, I took my dremel with its thinnest drill bit and carefully drilled two holes in the cradle/doc. This, with a toothpick, lets me access the buttons while it is in the doc.

2)Once it's done, on the other page, you will see a 'Login' link, click on it and enter your email / password
3)Once you are logged in, you will have a popup to enable 'Auto sync picture' just swipe back (right to left) to dismiss it.
4)If you want to enable 'Auto sync picture', swipe left to right, Settings popup (will display) and then you will be able to activate the auto sync

This didn't work for me on my Omate TrueSmart - couldn't view enough of the screen to see a blue line.
But I was able to get DropBox working well on the TrueSmart by using a bluetooth keyboard to log in. Connecting a bluetooth keyboard to the TrueSmart solved many difficulties I was having entering passwords with the small on-screen keyboard.

Works fine with the patch which you should have applied as soon as you got your device.
Though Reader has all the needed functions (view text, scroll, navigate, remember position, change font size), please note that this is one of the first versions early in development.
To view and start reading a file, transfer it from your phone by selecting Reader when opening txt file or sharing text content. Only the last received file is saved in Reader.
To change font size, use "pinch to zoom".
Large viewed file is split to multiple pages. Double tap when near the top or bottom of a page to move back/forward. Long tap to dictate page number using voice.
Possible use cases:
Actual standalone ebook reader (file size doesn't matter, sending 1 MB ebook is fine)
Cheat sheet (utilizing small font size)
Grocery list or other note (shared from phone note app)
Download (Free)

There aren't any special requirement except for just plain text in UTF-8. If you won't succeed, let me know the exact steps you took and file you used.
Any file I try fails. Even 1 letter UTF-8.
It must be something wrong with my phone. I think it does not send the file.

Because it's development version, I left some debug lines in the app. If you open any txt file in Reader on phone, it prints the content of the file to logcat so you can check this to verify whatever the file is read correctly before it's sent to watch.
Code:
12-31 18:36:21.608 7348-7348/? D/Reader﹕ onCreate
12-31 18:36:21.658 7348-7348/? D/Reader﹕ file:///storage/emulated/0/download/kun8.txt
12-31 18:36:21.658 7348-7348/? D/Reader﹕ Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy.
12-31 18:36:21.658 7348-7348/? D/Reader﹕ android.intent.action.VIEW
12-31 18:36:21.758 7348-7348/? D/Reader﹕ onConnected: null
The app is installed on watch, right?
I logged possible transfer on phone side using logcat.
Transfer failed.
Then I logged possible transfer on watch side.
Transfer succeded. And succeded only once.
Next logged transfer on watch side failed as usual.
Logs look pretty much the same. But when transfer succeded
reader launched and displayed text as expected.
Second time it didn't launch. When I launched it manually there was the information screen "To view..."
Procedure was the same all the time. Sending file to reader using totalcmd.
Do you need those log files ?
Great App!!
It will be nice to do that the text scroll with be with the watch movement
Amazing app.
I'm kinda new to android wear and using the LG G Watch.
Is there any way to make this app to evade going to idle mode without tapping the screen?
Thanks!
@moneytoo
We can chance pages with double tap but can we change pages with swipe? because if i want to change page i need to go bottom of the page and if didnt go and double tap the page, page is only going back not forward. Other that its good and useful.
Thanks.
There's still no Moon+ Reader for Android Wear but the are at least two more 'readers' on the Play Store you can check out if you're avid readers:
Wear Reader by Jacoh (free, for speed reading) and Wear Reader by Jajaz.org (paid).
@cataplof
This was one of my initial ideas. I realized that it might be too akward to scroll down I still intend to try that.
@NeoDaemon
The wear app timeout is 30 seconds. Do you need longer timeout because of reading or you want to just have a text visible for longer period of time without the need to relaunch Reader (cheat sheet/grocery list)?

I understand that some better navigation among pages would be useful. Initially I wanted a swipe but I was worried it would conflict with app dismissing swipe. So far I'm thinking of a progress bar for setting a page on second screen in Reader (accessible using swipe).

Amazing app.
I'm kinda new to android wear and using the LG G Watch.
Is there any way to make this app to evade going to idle mode without tapping the screen?
Thanks!

you can use StayLit Wear App (Paid) its working like charm with moto360 for this purpesses.

But if you use LG G R i dont recommend too much.(Because of burning problem)
@NeoDaemon
The wear app timeout is 30 seconds. Do you need longer timeout because of reading or you want to just have a text visible for longer period of time without the need to relaunch Reader (cheat sheet/grocery list)?

The second option i think, longer timeouts would be very useful. 1min 2min 5min 10min, for example.
Thanks!

Hey guys, loving this app (as its the only reader I can really find), but I guess what I'm looking for is something more along the lines of a Spritz-based reader - I would think that one word at a time would lend itself well to a watchface. Anybody have any ideas?
Just to give you an idea of the kind of reader I'm talking about, I use Balto Speed Reader on my Nexus 6, which you can find here on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balto.wolf.speedreading&hl=en

Brilliant! Many thanks!
Finally!
Thank you...I love this app!
Hello.
I love your app.
Do you mind adding some options like changing font color & background color?
It would be great because for cheat sheet white font is a bit too much visible.
Anyway great job.
issues on moto 360
Hello
Since the last update can't view anything, only shows a back screen and a scroll bar in the middle of the watch, so? How can solve that
I use a moto 360 5.0.2 and a moto g 2013 4.4.4
I transfer a small text in utf8 and the same issue.
Where will the file go after transmit?
Is it stored in the android wear?
How can I remove those files?

X Screen Stabilizer
ROOT REQUIRED
XPOSED FRAMEWORK REQUIRED
If You don't know What is XPOSED Framework then do not try this application (it wont work)
Have you tried to read a book or an article like this while on a bus or walking down the street? I bet you tried! In this case you should notice that reading text in a such way is not a good idea since the screen constantly shakes. It seems that screen shaking is a big enough issue and eliminating it can promise a good UX. This application uses the device accelerometer sensors to compensate for and smooth out screen content shaking in the same way as DSLR camera stabilizes its sensors/lenses
It uses the concept defined in the below link
no-shake-screen-stabilization-android
but uses a different approach using Xposed Framework
Free : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Pro : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer.pro
Xposed repository : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Parameter Details
Velocity Friction : It is used to adjust the friction of the movement of the screen when walking. If the value is greater, the screen translation will be slower.
Position Friction : It is used to adjust the speed at which the screen tries to adjust to the normal position.If the value is greater, it takes more time to adjust to normal position
Low pass filter alpha : It is used to filter the acceleration force values from the sensor for the smooth positioning of the screen
Velocity Amplification : It is used to amplify the calculated velocity and use it to translate the screen
please try it out and provide your valuable comments
Oww Great ! Thank You Bro
after setting the velocity friction to 0 something it doesn't allow you to slide the switch, also how much would this increase battery drain?

It prevents you from copying and pasting if you are moving. the cursor keeps blinking.
Hi, nice idea for a module!
What differentiates the pro version? Ad removal / extra features, or just dev support?
Can you offer any extra information on exactly what each of the tweakable parameters do?

Now the pro version is just Ad Free.
The extra parameters are used to adjust the movement according to your walking speed.
I don' t know if I did something wrong, but it didn't worked for me. The device has AOSP 5.1 and I'm also using GravityBox and Android N'ify.
Very fun idea. You may want to hardcode some safe minimum and maximums on each setting and give it some sort of tendency to return to normal once movement subsides.
I lowered the velocity friction to zero and moved my phone around. The screen went off screen enough, I guess, that it couldn't return to center and the button to disable the module was not responding.
Also, maybe add a whitelist so you can pick to only have it activate while certain apps are in the foreground (browser, e-book readers). While it's neat for testing, having it constantly adjusting your screen when using your phone can be awkward.
Bravo for doing something new and creative!

I have checked the log. It is showing the sensor cannot be registered. Which is your device ?
is there any restriction in using sensors when using GravityBox or AndroidNify ?
I am using the sensor TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION for this application. Is it available in your device ?
I have updated the application to version 1.1
Cannot use Copy/Paste etc bug - Fixed
Minumum value for parameters set - Fixed
Nice one! Congrats and thanks!
Simple and immediate feature request that I believe will improve your app:
1. Widget to toggle on/off
2. Activity to toggle on/off (to trigger from other automation, gesture, button... apps)
3. Persistent notification to toggle on/off
4. Notification only when on, to turn off
5. Reset default setting values
And also these:
6. Blacklist apps (for instance to exclude launcher,...)
7. Floating panel with main adjustments slides (thick! cause will be moving) for real time fine tune. Can use to show/hide it a button on the ongoing notification. Or to hide a 2 fingers tap on panel.
One bug I experimented already:
It was on. Using Nova Launcher here. I went to app drawer and them home.... Them turned off stability. Nova Launcher screens got frozen partially out of screen. Only solution was to force reload all launcher.
Thanks!
Very great idea man. Thx. Hoping for the stablest final version
Great concept and great app!
It slowed down my system quite a bit though, so I had to uninstall it. A lot of apps (the foreground app I was using) would freeze and the Android System prompt would appear saying " xxx app is not responding, would you like to: wait, force close and reopen, or send bug report". Anybody else seeing this performance problem?
Really nice. Now if the entire ui could shift, instead of only the foreground activity, that would even be better.
For example, the keyboard is not moving, neither is a second app when open in split screen.
great idea man!in 3 years apple as usual will steall this great mod to implement into IOS!

I thought about that.....if I'm de developer I'd patent the implementation worldwide. It is a simple concept, somehow already available out there for other uses, but as far as I know not for portable devices screens. And....AR, VR, glass,....
This is the typical thing Apple, Samsung, Google, LG would build a proof of concept (this app is one) and patent it. And sell rights for millions.
By the way, another fantastic module that has this potential is AllTrans. Real time translation of any app from any language to any other language....probably Google would love to have that under Google Tanslator label (and spy a bit more on you).

The keyboard movement will make it difficult to type if moving. As our fingers and actual device is at the same position, only screen movement is required I guess. Anyway I will try to provide and option to enable keyboard movement also if possible
Watch Droid is a simple application for handling notifications in smartwatch with Android that since version 11.0 has been compiled for Wear OS.
How does it work:
Install "Watch Droid Phone" on your phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidphone
Install "Watch Droid Assistent - Wear OS" on the smartwatch.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lumaticsoft.watchdroidassistantwearos
Verify that both devices have bluetooth enabled.
Login to "Watch Droid Phone" and follow the steps of the assistant in configuration
The operation is simple and can not exceed that of Wear OS but has some features that may be useful:
Notifications:
After giving permission for the management of phone notifications and selecting the applications that you want to control, you can answer them from the smartwatch.
In the options of the phone application you will have the possibility to modify your predefined answers, delete or add.
If the notification has the possibility of being answered, the button will appear to be able to select one of your predetermined answers, keyboard or voice dictation (if the smartwatch has the possibility).
Receive multimedia notifications such as audio files, images or video.
Music:
In the music option you can:
* Open the default player of your phone.
* Skip the topic, pause or play it.
* Raise or lower the multimedia volume of the phone.
Share files:
* Select the file to send.
* Select the location on your smartwatch.
* Send your file.
Camera control:
*Take a picture
* Retard 3 sec
* Change from back to front camera
New in version 13:
Thanks!
Hello,
I use this for receiving and listening to WA voice messages and it works perfectly, thanks for that!
Is it possible to record voice messages and send them?
Couldn't find the option so far. This will make it perfect for me.
Cheers

Thank you for your comment, unfortunately in the response of a notification you can only enter text, it is not possible to respond with an audio directly, that's why I give the option of voice dictation.
Thank you for the explenation.

Is it also possible to answer a call on watches with audio ( ticwatch E wear os)? I mean talking with the watch? Because if this app could override the super buggy calls on wear os and also be faster to notify would be great

No, unfortunately this is not possible, Watch Droid does not control the transmission of audio between the devices, that is controlled internally by the same firmware of the smartwatch.
Lumatic, just wondering... On Android Wear (I have a Fossil Gen 5 and a basically another Fossil (Michael Kors), when you get a notification and read it on the watch, in Wear Os, it removes the notification icon on the phone which is a good thing so you don't think you still have an unread notification. Wear Os does this but not Watch Droid. Is it something that you think might happen to do in a near futur? Customizable like other options "When notification is read from watch, remove notification icon on phone"?. Because it's in my opinion a very valuable thing in Wear OS that it does this.

This is not done automatically but you can discard the phone notification by the "Discard" adoption among the notification options.
New version 13 in Play Store
• New notification system for navigation.
• New filter for multimedia notifications by combination of notifications. It will use the detection of notifications and combine them with the files received to be able to determine whether or not to send it.
• Improved system for registering filtered notifications.
• Possibility to select the application that notifies telephone calls.
• Bug fixed.
Hi Lumatic, thanks for this great app, it was working fine and now the response buttons have disappeared from the watch app, so I cannot select any prompts for example 'do you wish to delete all notifications'. There is no yes /no button anymore.. I reinstalled watch droid assistant ams restarted phone and watch and still same issue.. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you
OK. This is awesome. So far
Just a suggestion that would like to see added.
1. Ability to move button order. Maybe I want discard at the top instead of reply with voice as an example. Just gives a bit more options of customizing.
2. Ability to scroll with dial. Right now have to use the touchscreen but would like to scroll with my crown/dial on the side
Those additions will make this even better!
Any chance of Tasker support in the future?
Bugs/Features
I really Like Watchdroid, bought the full app, but i have a few very serious issues on my Amazfit Stratos:
- [bug] When i use Lift to wake, i see a blank screen instead of the watch-face. I would be expecting a notification screen at least, but it's just blank, nothing on it.
- [feature] It would be great if you could have a link to the normal camera, and a shutter button. The preview is not always relevant as it's very small on the watch, it's more useful to have an actual shutter button with the normal camera app and it's modes+video. I believe you can use the Volume sendKeys shortcuts.
Ideally would be to have sendKeys shortcuts to Camera Button,Switch front/back, Take video, Vol +/- for zoom, Bigsby, but i'm not sure how universal that would be.
:good:
Hi everybody. I often get double notifications from many apps and I don't know why. I can't find a way to stop it. Has anybody been facinig this and probably find a solution?
I have a request.
Is possible add more option in:"Show notification for x seconds"
For me is important short time, one second, two second.
Thanks

I do not understand correctly, the option to show the notification for xx time do you want it to be simpler to use? It was designed in this way to make it more adaptable to each user, in many cases each user wants a different time and can configure it per second.
If you have not understood correctly, please explain me better what your problem is.
Smartwatch list
Hi Lumatic.
Can you display somewhere a list of supported smartwatchs?
I'm thinking on buying an Amazfit GTS so my Amazfit Pace can rest a bit, but I really like the watch droid full app and I'd like to be able to use with it too.
How do I know what smartwatch supports watch droid?
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately there is no list of devices that are compatible since the only requirement that exists is that the smartwatch has an Android operating system so that you can install Watch Droid Assistant. All devices with WearOS are compatible.
The Amazfit GTS has a proprietary operating system and is NOT Android.
