I am on May security update (8.1)
I confirm AR works!
It's a lil buggy, as is expected.
Overall pretty creative!
You can draw shapes in a space, move back draw more, move back - repeat, and you would literally have a trail!
It's immersive & fun.
Can't wait for more apps and more AR (with proper optimization & support)
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

I did install Inkhunter app from playstore & the Ingress* game.
Both work fine.
(Ingress isn't exactly AR, more like PokeGo, location based)

You dont have a solution sadly, it's with HMS. You bought the phone knowingly I'm sure, so here's what you can do:
1. Use Petal Search to download other apps/games that aren't on AppGallery, for example you can download Discord from Petal Search. Petal Search gives the apps from trusted sources like APKPure and APKMirror.
Link: https://appgallery.cloud.huawei.com/app/C100995735
2. Use the web versions of Google apps, for example Youtube in browser. You can also use Snaptube or Vidmate from AppGallery, they both show Youtube videos and you can watch them from there.
Links:
Snaptube: https://appgallery.cloud.huawei.com/app/C100180977
Vidmate: https://appgallery.cloud.huawei.com/app/C100854761
3. You can also check the thread I made on Huawei Community that helped many people that use phones without GMS, Google Alternatives: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/community/details/topicId_48289/
Enjoy! It's not a disaster, you'll get used to it.

Alternatives for Sony Apps that aren't preinstalled anymore & replaced by Google Apps
I bought my Xperia 10 II from ebay, that was imported from Hong Kong, as I checked the firmware customization and it is from there. A month almost with it, and I really love it.
For me was not easy to used to it, as i was using a smaller XA2 before, but with the one handed mode and side sense, is easy to use with one hand.
I really miss Sony apps that are not installed anymore as Album, Photo Editor, Xperia keyboard, Sony Email, Sony Phone App, Sony Message App, Sony Contacts App, Sony Calendar App, Sony Calculator App, Sony Clock App, and Sony Weather app, Track ID, Audio Recorder. All are replaced by Google Apps with tons of weird permissions and tracking.
But I found alternatives to it and I disabled almost all Google Apps:
- Album and Photo Editor there is Simple Gallery Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery
- Xperia keyboard, well.. there is no replacement, so I installed latest version available from XDA, and still working good https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...p-4-4-xperia-keyboard-material-01-07-t2801048
- Sony Email, I installed from APKMirror, still works good, but not so good with dark mode https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-...ony-email-2/sony-email-2-16-0-a-0-12-release/
- Sony Phone app I couln't replace Google Phone, that was so fustrating, so well... still there... But, there is an alternative anyway that is ok https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.dialer
- Sony Message App there is Simple Message App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.smsmessenger
- Sony Contacts App, there is Simple Contacts Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.contacts
- Sony Calendar there is Simple Calendar App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.calendar
- Sony Calculator App, there is Simple Calculator App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.calculator
- Sony Clock App, there is Simple Clock App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.clock
- Sony Weather App, good news! There is still installable from Play Store, so I installed and still using it . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.xperiaweather
- For Track ID, well... there is no option than Shazam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shazam.android
- Audio Recorder, I didn't looked for alternatives.

I read somewhere that the reason why Xperia Keyboard has discontinued, was because of the acquisition of Switchkey by Microsoft. Before the acquisition, switchkey launched a SDK for OEM for customize as they want, and then Microsoft retired the licensing for using the SDK and then SDK was removed. Blame Microsoft for the dead of Xperia Keyboard

The target for the 1.7.33 version of the Sony Contacts app is Android 11, but keeps crashing as soon as I open it. Why is ti happening? What can I do?
Hi,
I plan to degoogle my phone to clean memory and avoid spying.
I found an alternative for every app but I can't replace google maps because i'm working with the uber-driver app and this application search for the google maps binary to allow navigation once you click on its "NAVIGATE" button (It opens the required itinerary in the google maps application.)
What i need is a fake Google maps apk that is installed as "com.google.android.apps.maps" and that will make a redirection of the given itinerary to another maps app of my choice ("Here Wego" and "Maps.me" are awesome alternatives)
As i know there is no such app inside the nanodroid package.
Is it a planned feature from microG or is there a such application somewhere ?

I don't think just replacing the package name of another maps app will do the trick, because it's likely that uber integrated more deeply google map in their service rather than just "calling the app". I'm not sure tho as I never used it.
Re:
No it is not so deeply integrated.
Their own maps are deeply integrated but when you choose to use google maps as navigator in settings it will opens Google maps as a separated app (new window) once you click on the "navigate" button.
The problem is that uber detects only google-maps or waze as alternatives external apps for navigation.
If your phone's Android is rooted you may consider to redirect the APK from installed Google Maps app ( /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk ) to APK of another installed maps app of your choice ( e.g. /data/app/com.here.app.maps-2.apk) , means to create a link.

It's not sure it will work since Uber detects the installation of the Google Maps app.
If it's an in-depth analysis, a simple symbolic link won't be enough.
I just found a fake maps app inside this package :
https://github.com/ronnayryukay/microGISG
I'll have to try it.

Why are there so few apps available for Wear OS in Play Store?
In the origins of Wear OS, when it was still called Android Wear, between 2014 and 2017, hundreds of apps created for these watches were published in the Play Store, during that time and shortly after it was already evident that there was not much interest in the market for these watches, this was also coupled with the abandonment by Google of Wear OS that has maintained this little attention until almost the launch of Galaxy Watch 4, last year. After the app boom in the first 3 years, and due to this scenario, many app developers stopped publishing new apps and/or updating the ones that were already published.In addition, Google for some time is doing a purge of apps in the Play Store that they consider "bad" and that violate points in Google's policy (which is updated quite frequently), such as apps that ask for permissions that are not really necessary for the operation of the app, for example the call log or the location in the background. They are also removing apps that are obsolete because they have not been updated to an Android API level of the last 2 years, i.e. as of today all apps that point at most to Android 11 or lower will be hidden in Play Store searches. As new Android/Wear OS versions are released, the 2-year window will advance accordingly. They will actually only be hidden for new users of the app, as if you have ever installed it, you will still see it in the Play Store and can continue to use it. However, if you have never used the app that Google considers outdated, it will not appear in the Play Store when you search for it.I often read developers complaining about how hard it is for them to get Google to authorize the publication of their apps in the Play Store, and Google has started to impose a heavy hand in order to have apps with higher quality and safer for the user. Google is requiring developers to limit the use of permissions to those necessary to provide the features of their application. In addition, they have to explain in the app's "Data Security" section how sensitive user data is handled. Last year, they rejected or removed tens of thousands of apps on Android (many of them for Wear OS) that did not comply with Google's policies related to privacy and user data.All these causes cause that currently the number of apps available for Wear OS is very low, there are far fewer apps than in the first year of life of Wear OS, in fact, from November 1, 2022, there will be much less, as Google will make another purge against obsolete apps. Either for security reasons or for abandonment of the app developer that leaves them outdated.I don't know how many apps for Wear OS are currently in the Play Store, probably excluding Watch faces there will be less than 300 apps. Google publishes from time to time the number of apps hosted in the Play Store, but in a global way (it includes apps for Wear OS along with Android) so I think it is not possible to know with certain accuracy. Does anyone know how many there are currently for Wear OS?
Wear OS Apps Repository
The fact is that many apps that were available before are now gone, and as of November 1 much less, so I have created the following repository taking advantage of reliable servers in APKMirror, GitHub (from developer) or on my own server, Mega.The intention is to preserve those apps that are no longer hosted in the Play Store (or never were) and are still functional. This repository contains apps that:
Have been abandoned by their developer, but are still functional, for example, Telegram.
Have been created for Android. Normally, the interface of these apps is not perfectly adapted to the small size of the screen, but they still work, for example, Pulse Music.
They are not hosted on Play Store for different reasons, for example. OruxMaps.
They have not been updated for some time or violate some non-serious point of the policy, and Google has taken the determination to hide them for new users of the app, for example, Button Launcher.
They are not compatible with your watch, but are mostly functional, e.g. Feel The Wear.
Also, if any independent developer has their app outside the Play Store and wants me to post the download link in the repository to write a comment with the name of the app and download link.
Wear OS Apps Repository
How to install this app by sideload?
To send and install the applications on your watch, you can do it in several ways:
If you want to install from the phone, you can use the Wear Installer app, Bugjaeger Mobile ADB or Easy Fire Tools. In this link, extensive information about this and how to install with these tools.
If you want to install from a PC, you must do it through ADB commands. In this link, you can download Wear OS Tools, a tool for Windows that makes it easy to install apps from your PC.
Considerations
In order to install apps via sideload, you must enable "Debugging over Wi-Fi". On the watch, go to Settings > system > About and repeatedly tap "Build number" until you see a message that says 'You are now a developer'. Then go to Settings> Developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debugging over Wi-Fi".
If you are also going to install from the PC, you must download and install ADB tools, such as ADB & Fastboot++.
In APKMirror, to download an app you must choose, in case there are several variants, the variant “armeabi-v7a". For DPI, choose "nodpi" variants.
The fact that an app has been removed from the Play Store, does not imply that it is a dangerous app, there are applications that offer a decent set of features and are totally innocent, but have been abandoned by their developers for whatever reason and Google fulfilling its policy of obsolete apps removed them from the Play Store.
If you have outdated apps installed on your watch (which of course are still useful for you) but unfortunately they are no longer in the Play Store, you can back up the APK files of the apps with WearOS Tools, like this you will not lose them if you reset the watch or change to a new watch. If any app of these characteristics is not in the repository, comment it here to upload it to the repository and preserve it.
New apps added:
Wear Documents
Wear Keyboard
Wear Photos
Wear Orbits

Great project. How do you achieve Whatsapp functionality, taking calls on watch was only available for me in a few previous betas, now no more. I can send messages using Assistant in combination with Gboard though, via phone. Any other way? Could add this K-9 Mail variant

Thanks for pointing me to a link on your research re Whatsapp on WearOS. I have done much of the same, but with lesser success - subscription apps not an option though. I tried Leonard's WhatsappWebToGo on the GW4 with all permissions possible activated, but the app will not open, just shows a white screen. Do you have it running successfully, the 1.72 latest version? I tried it previously on my tablet successfully, but then saw that Whatsapp is now offering the same for tablets in latest betas.

Yes and quite surprised when I was able to run SD Maid and NetGuard No Root Firewall.
-- NetGuard requires scaling of the display in order to enable the firewall on the extreme far left corner.
-- Enabling NetGuard does not seem to stick because possibly, Wifi needs to be off on the watch for VPN.
-- Wear OS still needs to be able to communicate with the app on the phone over Bluetooth. Having a VPN might prohibit that.
-- There are some instances where I has to reboot Wear OS before I hit paydirt.
-- I'm certain that I'll attempt to see which app will stick on the Pixel Watch when the time comes.

By the nick I guess you are the developer of this app, in the repository only have room for apps that are not in the Play Store or if they are, because their apps are abandoned by the developer (in the case of this app, you updated it and uploaded it last week).
The repository is not oriented to advertise apps. I feel sorry for you. Nevertheless, thanks for developing on Wear OS.
Hello, it's been days since there was any news, this weekend I had time to test and analyze some apps.

Hourly Chime for Wear and Home Assistant looks somewhat promising
-- Hourly Chime installs successfully but doesn't load on Wear OS.
-- The watch will vibrate every hour.

Thanks for the contribution, however, the repository is not oriented to hang active apps in Play Store, only abandoned apps or if they are in Play store, but initially aimed at Android (but work well in Wear OS). It is a thread to preserve those apps that are no longer available.
Maybe we could create another thread to make a table of the apps that are in Play Store more prominent, it is a good way to discover new apps for Wear OS buried among hundreds of thousands for Android in the Play Store. We could make a table similar to the one in this thread.
What do you think of the idea?

Sticking with the status quo is a more viable solution.
-- No need to chase after the thousands of apps that are already Wear OS compatible.

I think I have explained myself wrong, I mean to review outstanding apps among thousands of apps in a table, in the same way that you have recommended those 2 apps because I guess you think they are outstanding among others.
Added Google Keep to repository. As of a few days ago, it is no longer available to Wear OS 2 watches.
