I have been searching for a while for an easy way to install apps to my Amazfit Pace watch without having to connect it to a PC via ADB.
I have read many threads of people wrestling with the same issue.
I found a solutions that should work with most people with an amazfit watch, be it Pace, Pace 2 or Stratos. NO ROOT REQUIRED.
Install Amazmod form the Play store on your phone alongside the Amazfit App.
You also need to install the accompanying assistant on the watch by connecting it to the pc in the regular way. Many threads already explain how to install apk's on the watch.
Once that is done it is easy to install an APK directly from your phone to the watch wirelessly.
1) Download the dersired APK from the web (apk.tools or other known sources).
2) locate the apk with any installed file explorer
3) Share the file with the AmazMod app.
This will upload the apk to your watch and install it using ADB commands. It by-passes the internal installation limitation and the apk is installed.
That's it.
Hope this helps many people out there that like me have been looking for a solution.
Cheers!

Yes, latest AmazMod version lets you install APKs and WFZ directly from phone, wirelessly. And also uninstall APKs from watch using the app manager.
I already knew this but it's nice to see someone taking the time and effort of explaining how to do it for everyone else! Give that man a cigar lol lol..thanks mate ?
?
There's also an app called BugJaeger on the play store that let's you do this over wireless adb if anyone isn't using amazmod.
But it's great that amazmod now has it... One less app to keep on the phone.
Edit: just did an Install via amazmod and its incredibly seamless

Hi DaveCZ,
It means that Amazmod needs an assistant to be installed on the watch itself in order to work.
See also the link below to the developer's XDA thread on Amazmod.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/app-amazmod-t3810252
This assistant needs to be sideloaded and installed on the watch. Once that is done, you will no longer need to tether your watch to the PC to install new apps.
Hope this helps.

Hi Krepsz,
I don't have a verge, but according to the develop ( see link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/app-amazmod-t3810252) it should work.

hi all:
I bought a moto 360 2015 watch in China, where google apps are blocked. So Lenovo offers a localized version which replaces Google play android wear app with their own localized version, however, there are very few apps in that market(http://www.lenovomm.com/).
I tried to download the original android wear and found that I can download apps from google play, but still there is one problem: the chinese version watch replay google now with a Chinese voice command app called Chumenwenwen. I found that if I use the original android wear to pair with the watch, my voice could not be recognized because Chumenwenwen did not make a connection with the android wear app.
So the problem here is that if I use the localized android wear app, then I can not use apps from google play, but if I use the original app, I can not use the voice command app. Is there a workaround?
Unlock the bootloader and Root it, then using ADB install Google Now and any other thing necessary for the watch to communicate with the phone
hi, i wanna ask if you can connect your watch and use it with the original android wear app?

I can't, it tells me, that I need to use the Lenovo app to connect...
@liuwenmao, how did you connect to the Android Wear app on your phone?
I got the Chinese version as well. Since the Chinese version rom recognize Google apps and refuse to sync. I think the only way to use Google Apps is to flash the international rom. But atm I don't think I can.

Yea, same here...
I am trying to see if I can return the watch or not, really a pita to have android wear without google...
Maybe some chinese person can check the chinese forums if there is a way to flash the original ROM? Here there doesn't seem to be much going on with regards to development on this product :-/
I gave my watch back today for a full refund. Will buy one in Switzerland next month.
I got a sollution

I really hope I'm in the right place... Anyways, how do you install apps on the Amazfit Bip? I've been trying for a while now. I've figured out how to do watchfaces from the Play Store, but I can't figure out how to do the apps. I need help very soon!
~Grant
P.S. I'm new to XDA so please don't be mean
Hello and welcome. But you cannot install apps on Bip, it uses a proprietary ROM/firmware. AFAIK you can only add custom watchfaces if you use Android on your phone so far.
Hi,
I recently got Amazfit Stratos and I am wondering if there is a way to load Android Wear watch face on it? Or at least is there a way to port it? I am specifically interested in this one and wasn't able to find anything similar.
I am new to smart wearables but not new to Android development. Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
G
It may work actually, but don't expect it to work when the device is in sleep mode (without the backlight)
Install this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/dev-android-wear-framework-t3781906
Download the APK from the play store link you provided using any old APK downloader that's online, then extract the Wear APK from res/raw, install it on the watch and set it as the watch face. If it works, great! If it doesn't, you're probably out of luck
Thanks for the info!
Wondering if this requires unlocked bootloader?

Hi All,
i just bought my Amazfit GTR yesterday. Apparently was attract by its battery life and the design. Im having some problem on the Watch Face/ Online Watch Face. I can view all the 30 templates in Amazfit apps but it prompt " Update the firmware before you sync the watch face." I can see my GTR's firmware version is V0.9.7.00.
I tried to plug in the USB from watch to Mac, it only charging but doesn't appear on my Mac.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Many thanks.

No, it doesn't either. Think of GTR as a round BIP with AMOLED display (or good looking Verge lite - not all plastic). Nothing else...
Ok i prefer my Pace

Are you sure nrohing can be done I mean xda is a huge platform I m preety sure someone could do something about it or atleast help me how to use this stupid lefung app I mean there are 2 apps out there one does show display faces but bluetooth wint connect to that app
Yes, I'm sure.
Regarding your other question: Maybe you will find help in some sort of China-Phone forums. I guess no one will know the app (or your watch) here in the WearOS forum.
Ohh thanks
