Hello.. everytime i install apk watchface my stratos become unresponsive and launcher start to restart, and i need to factory reset it to make it work again. Any solution? TU..
Try to uninstall it with TOOL ALL IN ONE
hop it can help
What watch model and firmware? The way you install any APK on watch shouldn't matter. Avoid installing many watchface APKs as they may conflict with each other, and make sure you install only ones that are known to be compatible with your firmware version (it should be noted what is the recommended firmware and usually there are many versions available).

Hi,
I think I broke my apk installer...sort of.
Since a few days I can't install any apks that are from Google Play, so I think the whole installer for external apps is broken.
Ok, I use Lucky Patcher and I think it has broken it, but only to use the pro features of Titanium and Poweramp...they don't want to recognize their keys from PlayStore for some reason or recheck them and won't find them even after reinstallation of both, app and key. I already tried it with XInstaller and with formating /system and reinstalling the OS via TWRP (running latest PA 5 legacy alpha for LG G2, but there seem to be no such issue known) but both have not helped. I only can install apps by coppying the apk manually to /data/app or /system/priv-app and restart the device. I also made a logcat log while trying to install LMT Launcher so I hope this can help to identify the problem.
If anybody knows a solution, please help, installing apps and updates the manual way is quite annoying.
EDIT: It looks like the Package Manager is trying to install apps on a non existing SD-Card. There is no possibility for an SD-Card on my G2 (only on Korean models) without USB-OTG but the ROM has the buttons in App Overview to move Apps to an SD-Card, so I think the installer tries the same. Is there a way to find out the path where it wants to install apps and Link this (with XPosed) to the real installation folder?
Hello all,
since an update some versions ago i am not able to start the weather app. Due to the fact that it is a system application i am also not able to uninstall it an reinstall. So my last hope before doing a hard reset is to install the current version manually. But i don't know where to get the appxbundle.
Can you help?
Thank you
Unzip, install from phone.
Hi,
I recently bought a le max 2 from GB with Gapps and multi-language and everything was working perfectly, but i wanted to update the phone, so i decided to install the stock chinese rom (eui 5.9.021s) through the stock recovery. Now, when I try to open the PlayStore it always stops and closes. Furthermore almost all my Gapps (YouTube, gmail, play games, play music...) seems to be installed (when I go to the options they result as installed) but I can't see them anywhere. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it, but I have this problem as well.
Can someone help me please?
That is the problem of the Le Max 2. You have to go to app management, uninstall all the problematic apps manually and then reinstall them again.
Thanks for your answer!
Your method works for most of gapps (for example if I uninstall gmail and then install it again its icon will appear) but it's not the same for PlayStore... I tried to uninstall and re-install it but it doesn't work(there's its icon but i can't open it). I thought it could be a problem of Google play services but i can't even uninstall it.
Another strange thing I noticed is that when I click on the PlayStore it immediately pops up a message that says that PlayStore stopped working but it keps running in the background and it closes just when I Press a button ("ok" or "cancel") of the message that doesn't allow me to use it.
Have you got any advice for me about this issue?
I recommend to install via custom recovery, eg. TRWP.
Download your gapps package here:
http://opengapps.org
After than, flash it via custom recovery.
100% working method!

That's the problem of the phone, it wouldn't let some apps, particularly the system apps, to be uninstalled completely. When you try to reinstall the apps on top of the existing one, problem arises. Now, I am unable to get the IR Remote Control working again. If your phone is completely stock ROM and has not yet been rooted, back up all your apps and data, do a factory reset and reinstall them. If it still doesn't work, you might have to reinstall the apps via TWRP as rqzor99 suggested.
Thank you amowagou and razor 99 for the help you are giving me.
My phone has never been rooted and i have not installed any custom recovery (what's more this was the First time I tried to flash a ROM .
Probably if i do a factory reset, Google play services and the PlayStore will be deleted from my phone because the stock chinese ROM doesn't include them and then I could make completely new installation of them as amowagou said. Probably I'll try this solution because it allows me to have them without having to modify my phone.
As well I also apreciated the advice of razor.
(Obviously if someone else has other advises for me they are welcome!
I'll let you know if following amowagou's advice the problem will be solved
If you have stock ROM (your Chinese ROM) without Chinese market, called Lestore - there isnt another option, you have to flash gapps via custom recovery. Be careful with choosing package - arm or arm64 - TWRP tells you if you have wrong one and it will dont let you install it, no worries.
If you have Lestore in your stock ROM, just find gapps and install it.
Thats it
I am still a green beginner when it comes to making a custom firmware but I basically only do it for my personal needs and offer the result for everyone.
However, there is one thing really nagging me ith the X96 and that is to get updated GAPPS to work properly and with all Google apps.
The basics like Playstore, Framework and Play Services and managed to get going but only by disabling some "features" in the firmware and with the box showing up as uncertified.
Real problem is to get the TV GAPPS working at all.
No matter how I spoof the build.prop, disable services and manully add permissions, the TV Gapps claim be on an unsupported device and demand dowgrade / removal of updates.
For a chinese phone I would simply flash an internation rom and be done with it but not so much on a chinese TV box
What I tried so far for the TV GAPPS:
Using custom roms claiming to work for several boxes including the X96.
Here the rom either fails to boot unless I modify it or if it boots then nothing, and I mean nothing all works.
Funny enough that some user of a X96 say they have no problem with the same rom...
Next was to clean the original firmware from all Google related apps, services, scripts and libraries, then manually installing the TV GAPPS.
For this I always get the error that the device is not compatible.
Even if in the build.prop a Mibox or Nvidia Shield is spoofed together with ro.build.characteristics=tv.
Last but not least the Open GAPPS TV version.
Flashing works just fine and with no errors, on a cleaned and on a standard rom.
After that it is all over.
Setup Wizard crashes, if disabled or removed the other Google apps and services crash, usually starting with the TV Wizard and TV Customisation.
TV Playstore again claims the device is not compatible in the rare case it does start otherwise I get an error that the Play services are missing on the device.
But of course all is installed completely....
What I would love to know is how and where these chinese roms disable the Google compatibility.
Here is what I think I found so far that does not make much sense to me:
The supplied Playstore is signed with different key than anything else on the system partition.
The same version number from APKMIRROR fails to install or work if replaced in the rom.
I tried signing with the Amlogic platform, test and release keys to no avail.
Both by zip aligning before or after the signing.
Other apps I sign with these keys perform just fine.
Just to be able to use the Open GAPPS through TWRP I had to disable a PPoE apk that runs presistent - with that active no open Gapps pack works (claiming device is incompatible or simply crashing).
There are a bunch of additional certificates installed in the ETC folder than when removed or renamed cause the system to fail - I had no time so far to do a one on one check to figure out for what each cert might be used.
When comparing fstabs with other roms it seems the X96 has lot more than what would be required but my understanding of all that is still too limited.
I guess the big question is:
Does anyone know what is causing all these problems in chinese roms and how to fix it without flashing a firmware for different TV box?
Update:
On my X96 I am slowly making progress with the GAPPS.
Found a PPPoE app and service that are set to run persistent.
According to some funny Google translations from chinese websites using persistent services to block genuine Google stuff is one available option.
By disabling the PPPoE persistent stuff and only leaving the normal PPPoE stuff active Ethernet and WiFi still work fine but now the Open Gapps installation actually works.
Well, not fully but at least the Nano package works flawless.
With that it is not problem to install the missing Google apps through the Playstore, including Google TV and Music.
Sync and backup works fine too.
Only downside is that without spoofing the device will be listed as uncertified - but all updates and installs so far went with no problems.
But even the Google NOW and Pixel launchers can be installed and used if someone likes them.
Different story though for the TV Gapps, wether modified or not.
Build.prop mods and fakes, using the latest and older versions of the playservices and framework - they all fail.
I managed a few times to find combinations that at least booted into the leanback launcher and that were usable except for the Google stuff but it was no fun.
No matter how I try to spoof or change the installation the setup wizard never works, which indicates the services fail to work.
In the rare case where I get somewhere I am told that I should unistall all updates as this version of Plastore or services is not compatible.
Will do some more digging on services and apps that should not be there but the chinese really like to disguise things they don't want anyone to see LOL
Hi. I have the same box and installed latest official firmware android 9.
My problem is that is not possible to update the Google play store, stuck on version 13. All other apps are updated by the stor with no problems.
But i cant find a way to updaye the play store.
When i try to update it, always give package error, simple instalation fail.
I have not found a working twrp for it, so no gapps for now.
Do you know of a solution ?
Many boxes from China do not have certification from Google, that's why you cannot run native TV apps on them. If you want these TV apps, buy those boxes labelled with "Google certified", which are of couse more expensive and with inferior hardware--certification needs extra cost, man.
You can try install magisk, whill will tell u Safenet test failed and some CTS failure, that's what I said above.
1 Download and install Wear OS China Version. https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=wear+os+china&minapi=false
2 Download and install Wear OS GMS version from the Playstore or where ever.
3 Set up watch on China version, eventually when its almost set up it will tell you to download the GMS version and continue set up there, and your watch will factory reset on its own.
4 Continue with the GMS version, in less than 30 seconds you will be paired and all features will work on your watch.
I am using the Sony SW3.
The only thing that I was unable to do, was get my non Sony watchface to work, "Weather Time for Wear." That is the only watchface that I like.
I had a problem where my phone would ring once and go to voicemail. I uninstalled the GMS version, and afterwards, my watch is still paired, and my calls do not ring once and go to VM.
Does not seem to work on A11.
For A11, I needed to login to Aurora, and MicroG. Once it was working, I logged out.
hey, i tried this but the Wear OS app gets stuck on "getting watch details". Do you have any idea?

Thank you! I was finally able to make it work. Here's how I did it (I did a few times because sometimes it would hang up, but it finally worked):
Install both Global and China WearOS apps
install the "Google" app from the Play Store (you need it for the Global WearOS to work)
Go into System Settings -> Apps -> Wear OS, and click "Force Close" (do it for both China and Global)
Now power on the Watch and keep going until it asks to pair with the phone
DON'T OPEN the WearOS app, but go in Settings -> Bluetooth and pair the Watch from there.
The watch should say something like "Connected succesfully" and a spinning wheel should appear on its screen.
Now, open the GLOBAL WearOS app and do the setup, until it says "getting watch details". The progress bar will load and it will stop almost at the end.
When you see that the setup is stuck, open the CHINESE WearOS app, and do the setup there. It should continue and complete it. Agree to all the permissions it asks for.
Now, close all your recent apps (don't Force Close, just clear the recent apps).
Now, open the GLOBAL WearOS. It should ask for a few more permissions, and it should be done!
DO NOT DELETE THE CHINESE APP! You don't need to use it, you can use global, but if you delete it you will need to re-pair.
Now, if you want to add a Google Account on the Watch, it will not work with microG. However, here's how I managed to do it (while still retaining microG at the end):
Download OpenGapps Micro or Pico ZIP
in Magisk, REMOVE the MicroG module (I'm using MinMicroG MinimalIAP)
reboot into recovery
flash OpenGapps ZIP
reboot into System
open WearOS Global App
add your Google Account to the Watch (and to the phone)
wait for it to copy the account into the Watch
now, reboot into recovery
dirty-flash your vanilla ROM to remove OpenGapps
if you had it previously, flash Magisk again
if you had flashed any other ZIP that modified the System parition, flash it again, since when you flashed the vanilla ROM it removed all System changes (if you flashed via Magisk, then you don't need to flash again)
reboot into System
uninstall the Google Play Services App
reboot again
open Magisk and re-flash microG (I'm using MinMicroG MinimalIAP)
don't worry if some Google apps crash, you just need to reinstall them/clear data and they'll work fine
reboot
Done! Now you have microG on your phone, but your watch has a Google account and is connected to global WearOS, so you have full syncing and functionality!
Remember to go into the microG settings apps and check/enable all permissions, and also Device Registration/Cloud/SafetyNet if you need those features!
Thanks for the write up, for me it was trial and error and getting lucky.
I had to delete the GMS app because my OnePlus 7T would not ring more than once, I am not having any problems using the China app.

Nice! I had an opposite problem: I could not use just the China app because it was saying that the Watch is incompatible. However, if I start the setup from the Global app, then it continues fine in the China one.
I'm glad that we are finally able to use WearOS with microG, although with a not very straightforward setup!
I am using an old Sony Smartwatch 3, so I am on Android 1.5 for the watch.
Yay...! Followed word to word... Now I'm able to use wearos on microg... Successful ly setup fossil-sport with latest android 11 custom ROM..
Google account was already setup on my wearos from previous setup...
Followed below article to repair wearos Bluetooth...
How to Pair Android Wear Watches to New Phones without Factory Resetting

Working great, thanks for the tutorial! However I can't get Wear OS apps or faces to transfer over automatically and I'm forced to sideload them.
Seriously you are my hero! I just spent a long week or two removing google services out of my life and for the life of me could not figure out how to get this to work. I even used android X86 on my PC to pair it and then Mock GPS with a VPN in Hong Kong thinking the Chinese app needed to be over seas lol. So it was as easy as switing apps mid point and all is well. Now to root and remove all the google on the watch if thats even possible. Anyone get GADGETBRIDGE or something else working. Also I seen a site on how to pair multiple devices to this watch by using the ADB clear and bluetooth pair method.

Hi all!
I have a moto 360 1st gen and i tried to make wear os work on microg (after i finally decided to chang the watches battery...). The watch shows the notifications from phone, however i cant controll music nor put my phone to do not disturbe mode via watch. Is there any sollution for that issue?
im unable to add an account to my watch on calyxos android 12. i dont have a custom recovery but do have root. what should i do
For adding the account you need GAPPS as the sign in API is not implemented in MicroG. With Magisk you could try to temporary flash the GAPPS and remove them when your account is added.
