[MOD] Make your tic-watch run faster and have better battery life. - Wear OS Software and Hacking General

Hello!
Before I start, shout out to xda user dany_ev3 for inspiration and his guide which is featured here.
This guide is only meant for ticwatch e, s and pro 2020, and the C series excluding the C2 plus. 3 pro has been updated to include different software.
Before following these steps, please follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/wear-os/development/make-ticwatch-smoother-disabling-t3951734 and then come back here
Your ticwatch comes pre-installed with lots of bloat. This bloat CONSTANTLY runs in the background, making your watch slow and having virtually no battery life. First you will need to disable the ticsystem app. The thing that controls this bloat. See the Link above. (another shout-out to dany_ev3)
Go into your watches settings, scroll to system > about > and tap on build number 10 times. Or until it says 'You are now a developer!'.
Then, make sure you have adb on your PC, I wont cover it here, just google install adb and follow a guide.
One done navigate to C:\adb and then open a command prompt. Then type 'adb shell'
Your in the shell now.
Type:
pm list package | grep 'mobvoi'
and it should give you a list of package names.
Then, type:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 package-name
replacing package-name with the packages they gave you.
DO NOT UNINSTALL SYSTEM OR WATCHFACE. THIS WILL MAKE YOUR SYSTEM UNSTABLE. DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
After uninstalling, reboot your watch. Now your watch will be faster, smoother and have better battery life.
Again, shout out to dany_ev3 for his amazing guide.

so this didn't work as well for me as it did for you.. I uninstalled the privacy, account, fitness and health packages and rebooted. Now the system is unstable and won't stay on long enough to factory restart or do anything, nor will it boot into recovery. After one reboot it displays the message: "mobvoi/catshark/catshark
9/pwdd.190617.032/5929426
user/release-keys"
and "can't load android system."
What's going on and how do I fix it?
EDIT: Per this thread (https://forum.mobvoi.com/viewtopic.php?t=54561), when it brings up this screen, you can hit the lower button to completely factory reset. Not optimal, but it fixed this issue.

That's weird. Nothing I would of done wouldn't result in the Android system crashing. Did you disable Mobvoi system? Also, what's your Android and Wearos version. I need to look into this.

sure; thanks. I had previously disabled the System package as described in the other post you linked to here and it worked fine. It was only after I uninstalled packages via the process you outlined here that the system became unstable. Wear OS 2.17, says the system version is H.

Sorry for extremely late reply, what watch are you using? Some watches have a different system app that HAS to run in the background for the system to work.

@BlockArchitech
I own a Ticwatch Pro (Not 4G).
I disabled some mobvoi apps thanks to the guides on this forum and the watch now is extra reactive.
You suggest not to uninstall TicSystem and Watchfaces because the watch will become unstable.
Is this true even if the watch is ok with these 2 apps disabled?
I use Google Fit Watchface so I don't need all the others, as an example.
Thanks!

I uninstalled everything except for the system, watchface and Lauchner.
Is there a second launcher installed? or will I get lost without a lauchner?
Is there an original Google Lauchner like on Android?

---

OK, i have a Problem, seems ticwatch 3 pro has Other Services that should not get uninstalled.
i did not uninstall watchface. When I wanted to change my watchface, a simple number clock appeared instead, I can no longer select a watchface

Does this include all the E (E2, E3) series? Or just the original E?

How to re-install if I need?

Factory Reset

---

a suggestion: unless you really NEED the space on the watch do not UNINSTALL: just DISABLING the apps achieve the same result while also not requiring a whole factory reset to get them back should you disable the wrong one or decide you liked some of them after all.

Just says
C:\1>adb shell
catfish_ext:/ $ pm list package | grep 'mobvoi'
package:com.mobvoi.wear.privacy.aw
package:com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home
package:com.mobvoi.wear.fitness.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.breath
package:com.mobvoi.wear.mcuservice.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.account.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.sleep.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.appsservice
package:com.mobvoi.wear.heartrate.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.health.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.recorder
package:com.mobvoi.ticwear.noisedetect
package:com.mobvoi.companion.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.watchface.aw
package:com.mobvoi.wear.system.aw
catfish_ext:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 package:com.mobvoi.wear.privacy.aw
Failure [not installed for 0]
1|catfish_ext:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 package:com.mobvoi.wear.fitness.aw
Failure [not installed for 0]
1|catfish_ext:/ $
So if i'm not user 0, what am i?
Thanks to another thread a noticed that i had to remove the package: string.
Worked great and i removed
com.mobvoi.wear.privacy.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.fitness.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.breath
com.mobvoi.wear.sleep.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.heartrate.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.health.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.recorder
and now i'm stuck at this
