Hello guys, i'm new to the smartwatchs world, and I was wondering is there any way to access the 4gb storage, I wish to take a look at what inside and see if i can not edit some details of a default watchface or edit manually some preset settings inside TizenOS.
Honnestly a shell will do it
Thanks alot.

Download Sdb for tizen from https://developer.tizen.org/development/tools/common-tools/smart-development-bridge . It does what adb does for android for tizen. Enable debugging on your watch, disable bluetooth and enable wifi. Open command line, go to the path where you put sdb.exe than run "sdb connect {ip_address_of_watch}" than "sdb shell".
If you wanna edit default watchfaces, look for /usr/apps/com.samsung.watchface/shared/res/ all of the default watchfaces are there.

Can we install (sideload) apps this way? Am new to tizen. It's not apk files, or is it?

Not apk but tpk. Unlike android's java api, tizen apps are c/c++ or html5 based apps so you cant install apk's into tizen. Even the c/c++ based apks that using android native sdk, need to be recompiled using tizen sdk's to run on tizen. Also tpk's are twice signed packages, once by developer than the distributor, without those signatures, package manager wont install them at all.
So there's not really much hope/point in somebody trying to root? Or could theoretically somebody recompile an OS rom that accepts apk? Or am I just dreaming and wishing too much!? Lol

Well there is no java vm or dalvik runtime on tizen so unless someone port them to tizen, no. In fact there was a rumor about some app doing this, converting apk's into tizen apps by packing a dalvik runtime with the apk but seems it's website is dead now. http://www.tizenexperts.com/2015/03...rator-pag-to-bring-android-apps-to-tizen-2-3/
Not sure about rooting tho. I kind a hope someone figures out but don't wanna lose possibility of using samsung pay on the watch ( i already lost it on my s6 edge by rooting ) when it became available here which is advertised soon.

I noticed there is an iphone app for justin tv. I would pay money for an android app. Any takers?
Well, JTV is working on an Android JTV app, I have the beta right now, but unfortunately its only broadcast. And they plan on having it like that for a while. Like on Iphone, you can only watch and not broadcast, so for Android they decided to only have broadcast. They have said that in future updates for the Iphone that they want to add broadcasting for them, but haven't said anything about Android. I'm going to assume the JTV app will be available sometime next month, as they are in beta 6 I believe.

Only problem with that is that they keep updating it. And I also don't know how to get the apk, if anyone wants to tell me how to get it then sure I'd post it on here.
Should be in system/app/. You can use a file explorer to navigate to it. Then copy to sd card. You have to have root also.
ohh man.. i have been waiting for this app to come for forever....
the only thing is i wanna watch not broadcast

What about use Titanium Backup to backup the app, then use Astro file manager to copy it?
Do you need root to install Titanium Backup? (nvm, need root to run Titanium Backup)
Try the idiot proof guide will help a lot

what's the update on this?
Ok so download the android sdk. Extract it into a folder and open a command prompt. Connect your phone to USB and make sure it says USB debugging. If not go to Settings->Applications->Enable USB Debugging. Then perform the following commands in the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
exit
Look around for what could possibly be the application and when you find it perform the following:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/app_filename.apk .
Replacing app_filename.apk with whatever the filename is.
Hey guys, finally rooted my phone. I just need help getting the apk, if someone could help please? I've tried the adb thing but its not working for some reason.
What do you mean? Getting the beta off your phone?

the app should be on your SD card now and you can upload it here.

How do we hack the Home Screen Tips Widget?
There seems to be one included with a few roms. I'd like to be able to change it so that I can use it to learn Japanese words. Is it just a question of editing an xml file or something? Does anyone know where it is stored? If it is baked in a rom, is it therefore impossible to edit?
Thanks.
Decompile the apk, and inside the /res/values/ directory look at the arrays.xml file
CM source -> HERE
Thanks a lot!
I'll get to it.
I'm unable to get it to work at the moment. I've been following this video tutorial too. Are there any obvious things I could be doing wrong please?
I can decompile the apk and rebuild it after changing it. The apk will run but fail to install. Or if I install it in a zip file and via Recovery it seems to install but doesn't show up in System/Apps. (I'll try pushing it with adb)
How do we disable verification? (10:40)
(I'm using CM7 7.02)
Thanks for any help.

You cannot replace a "system" app with an apk which is not signed as a "system app". I had the same issue when I started fixing the DCIM incompatibility in the stock Camera app.
My question for you is: do you have the arrays.xml file already compiled to suit your needs? What phone do you have (HDPI, MDPI, LDPI)? I can make you a custom widget and send it to you.
That's very kind of you hrk.
The phone is an HTC Desire HD.
I should keep trying to learn to do it myself to be honest because I'll be changing it every couple of weeks hopefully, once I learn certain words etc.
Maybe you could talk me through the steps you take or maybe you use different methods or a different program compared to the video?
Anyway thanks for your kind offer.

I set up a build environment (read "I can cook ROMs"). This way I can modify the original Protips project, and then build the apk with the AOSP signing key. If you are running a Stock ROM or a customROM which has not changed the signing keys (e.g.: CyanogenMod uses the same key AOSP uses), the Protips.apk will work flawlessly.
Setting up a build environment requires a bit of time and around 5 GB of hard disk, but it's something everybody can do. The beauty and winning point of Android Open Source Project.
That's great. Thanks hrk.
I'll follow your advice and set up a build environment..

That's good to hear, but when I wrote "build environment" I meant the entire platform.
With the Android SDK you can build apps, but you won't be able to properly sign them: you can have your own signature and publish them in the Market, but you can't "re-sign" system apps.
Good work!
Ah. I see what you mean.
Maybe that will be the next step in the near future.
In the meantime I'm inspired to make a similar app/widget from scratch which will do what I need..
Thanks.

I think no because we need the system signing key
Any signer should work. But depending on how you edit and build the apk, you might not be able to "install" it, but have to push it instead

You can't sign a system app without using the system key. It can't be easier than that.
Hi folks,
i'm using a samsung smartphone (rooted) to connect to my gear s3.
right now i'm looking for :cyclops: the possibility to safe the *.tpk files from the apps i've installed to my gear s3 via the gear app and my smartphone.
... something comparable to get access to the *.apk file via ES Explorer and the path /data/app/...
can someone help me.
btw: last weekend i noticed the following, strange behaviour. I connected a second gear s3 to my smartphone. therefore the 2nd gear s3 was softreseted. so far so good... later i switched back to connect to my 1st gear s3 and this watch was softreseted automatically, so i had to customize everything and install apps again. this was not as expected.

Really good question in my opinion.
I have only practice to backup TPK and WGT on Tizen Mobile (SM-Z130H)...
No idea how it work with Gear Watches...
Maybe check older Gear S, S2 threads...
No idea if all users scared to catch the install packages...
Maybe... because it work so on Tizen Mobiles...
We have an App called Tizen Store...
This app download encrypted TPK from Server...
after Download finish...
Handset DEcrypt this TPK... its simple ZIP like APK package...
Then file looks like this:
blabla.tpk ---> during download
blabla.tpk.depacked.tpk after Decryption...
I have to catch the *.tpk.depacked.tpk package... otherwise file is useless... as I have no idea how to Decrypt manual...
If you have no luck... then maybe Gear TPK is also encrypted on your rooted Handset...
And you need rooted Gear S3 to catch the TPK...
Maybe you could monitoring "Gear Manager" folders... during download...
Sorry, I have no Gear Watch to check self...
Only as inspiration.
As I need the Companion app from FileMaster...
http://slandmedia.com/apps/gear/Filesmaster/
But oh... :cyclops:
Maybe Developer work on Z-series Version...

Yes, I have been hoping the same. Something must be there like we have on Android phone to back up apks like using SaveAkp app
Maybe try harder to research...
Correct me, if I am wrong...
TPK for Gear is downloaded by Smartphone/handset...
then transfered to Gear...
Task would be... where Gear Manager stores temporary TPK before push to Gear...
Tizen devices unpack and install Packages (tpk)...
This is big difference to Android...
NOT tpk packages are stored on Devices...
If installed it is tooo late...
Best Regards
Seems easy...
Code:
[B]tizenapp_[/B]123_samsungapps-0123-100000012.wgt
Stored on Android device... in data folder of gearoplugin...
Seems not encrypted...
I can unpack...
Only tested with SM-R732... no idea if paid apps also not encrypted...
Best Regards
Can someone gove me the path where android stores these tpk files? And you can tell me if/ how i can copy a tpk from a samsung s8 put it in my oneplus 3 and install the app on my gear s3
can someone try to send me tha tpk file for camera remote or camera gear and app launcher app ?

Hello,
I want to remove or block a Huawei Mate 9 app (Music) and in an other section of this forum I was told that the only solution is to root the phone.
If there are no other solutions to block/remove the Huawei Music app, then I am looking for a step by step guide to root my Mate 9/ android 8.0 phone.
Can anyone, please, point me in the right direction?

THANK YOU (shouting in block capitals)!!! It worked and it took me only 20 minutes.
A few comments to help future thread readers.
1.
The [adb devices] command in the power shell (or Command Prompt in some Window versions) was rejected. I googled and found that I could use [.\adb devices] which worked perfectly (put "." in front of the command).
2.
You will need to find the appropriate package to uninstall the App. The package may have a different name from the App itself. My App was called "Music" but the package was called "package:com.android.mediacenter". To find the correct package, google "Huawei" (or your manufacturer's name) + "Music *.*.*" (including the correct version) + "package:com" an then find the correct package:com.****.**** name for the App. Be carefule as different versions can have different package names!
3.
The correct string to remove the App is the name that you found minus the "package:" in front. In my case I found that the App Music was called "package:com.android.mediacenter" but the correct string to remove that package was [pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.mediacenter] without "package:" in front.
Thank to all who contribute and I hope that this helps others in future.

I use fx file explorer on my tv and i used the feature to easily get the APK from the app.
Or you can use pretty much any apk extractor app that is there on the web to complete your task.
System apps r read-only i think idk if it works for you but it did for me
@houdang
You decompile the app by an online-decompiler like this one
APK Decompilers - Online Android APK Decompiler
Decompile Android APK files online ✅. We will decompile your Android apk for free so you can get access to the Java source code and other resources
www.apkdecompilers.com
Yeah, of crs i know how to decompile an APK, but where is this App located? I don't find that app nor don't i know where i can get the APK from.
App is called "com.huawei.iconnect"
You can query an APK's path via ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "pm path <PACKAGE_NAME>"
In your other thread you mentioned you have deinstalled "com.huawei.iconnect".
Hence it sholud be obvious you can't find it no longer on phone.
Naaa i tried it to find it before uninstalling
But that's a helpful command, didn't know that.
I used the adb shell to deactivate/deinstall.
I gonna give it a try, Thanks !!
Yup guys, i found it, couldn't copy directly but through adb i was able to get it.
The online decompiler just gave me one Java file looking really weird. I will try another decompiler and see if i can find something. That app looks strange .. Many XML/HTML files.. nearly no code - at least with that decoder mention in the beginning.
Thanks for the help!
