[Hack] Simplified Tapfish

New methods found. ROOT REQUIRED. I am in no way responsible for your device, or the feeding of your fish. Alter system files at your own risk(eye protection not necessary). All recommended apps are the sole property of it's developer(Thank you).
New method:
Step 1: Find and install Sqlite Editor.
Step 2: Find and install Root Explorer. ( I found this one to be best)
Step 3: Open SQL, grant permissions, Let it scan databases, close it.
Step 4: Open Root Explorer (Will be referenced as RE from here on)
Step 5: Create 2 folders on your SD card. 1 to keep original files(just in case) a 2nd to modify originals.
Setup is now complete and your ready to get stuff!
Changing your user data.
Step 1: Open RE, Navigate to Data/Data/com.bayview.Tapfish/databases, Click tapfish.sqlite
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2: Go to user, you will now see your current coins and Bucks.
Step 3: Longpress the desired box. Edit field. Enter the desired amount. Save
Step 4: Repeat Step 3 for coins, bucks, and level. (you may need to enter a large xp amount for your level to stick.
You are now finished gaining wealth. Go spend away...or continue reading for more fun.
Before exiting RE let's copy those files.
Step 1: Navigate up one folder. ( Data/data/com.bayview.tapfish)
Step 2: Open the download folder, followed by the stores folder. (It is at the very bottom)
Step 3: Select and copy all .DB files. (If using RE this would be a good time to create a bookmark of this folder.)
Step 4: Navigate to the root of your SD card, and to the folder you created for backups. Paste there.
Step 5: Repeat copy and paste to the 2nd folder. (I will refer to it as work folder)
Now you are set to modify almost anything. Let's get to it.(feel free to explore the databases in the work folder.)
Modifying Food bricks.
Step 1: In your "work" folder open 7.db
Step 2: Open store_item you will see the bricks in order as they appear in the store.
Step 3: Scroll to buy_prices, and longpress the top box (it reads default,fishbucks,4.00)
Step 4: Edit that field so it reads default,coins,1.00 then save. (you can modify in any combination you like, default,fishbucks,-20.00 to get paid)
Step 5: After it is saved back out to the "work" folder so all .db files are visible. (another good time to bookmark.)
Step 6: Copy the 7.db file you edited and paste it to the data/data.com.bayview.tapfish/download/stores (hopefully you bookmarked it so you can one click)(I will call this the system folder)
Step 7: Yes overwrite it.
You can now open Tapfish and verify your work. If it all looks good, let's make some bigger changes.
Step 1: Open RE go back to your work folder, and reopen the 7.db, then store_item
Step 2: Go to the far right column _foodbricktime
Step 3: Edit the top box (small brick) to 1440 (60 days)
You have now made all other Bricks useless. The small brick will now cost your desired amount and last 60 days. So let's clean up the store and remove them.
Step 1: Scroll to the far right. (Second to last column Don't_show_in_store)
Step 2: Edit all the boxes except the top one to 1 (True)
Step 3: Copy the 7.db file and paste back into the system folder.
Step 4: Yes overwrite, exit and verify your work. (The only brick available should be the small)
Congratulations!
Next up....Tweaking available fish. (Sold out fish? Not anymore!)
Step 1: In RE navigate to your work folder.
Step 2: Navigate to 5.db then store_item.
I will use the sold out elvis fish for my example.
Step 3: Find the Elvis fish in the list (ID is 4343) click it.
Step 4: Scroll to buy_prices, Edit field so it no longer includes sold out. (Modify the cost if you like)
Step 5: Scroll right Edit the 3 boxes limit_type, Limit_start_time, and limit_no_of_hours. Delete whatever is in the boxes so they are all blank.
Step 6: (optional) Edit the time to adulthood if you wish (in hours), or Modify the description. Make it a premium fish (edit field to read 1)
Step 7: Copy the 5.db and paste in the system folder.
Voila! Sold out fish no more.
This method of editing works for items, events, sold out items and more. I will write up further steps. In some cases, such as enabling backgrounds in the store you need to edit the Category and Store_item. Browse around, have fun. Show us what you have done. More to come.
(Old method below) Files have been changed this method is no longer working correctly. (At least not for me)
step1:Install sqlite editor from market.
step2:run it
step3:Navigate to Tapfish
Step4:Navigate to Tapfish.sql
step5:Navigate to user
step6:Longpress desired field (coins/bucks/xp)
step7:Click Edit Field
step8:Enter desired amount
Step9:Exit,Run Tapfish,Enjoy the wealth.
Have fun
To change growth times and item costs use file explorer (I use es) navigate to data/data/com.bayview.tapfish then download then stores then fisheggs.XML, change purchase amounts, time to adulthood (in hours) sell value, whichever you want for each fish,save file,start game, it's a long process and did cause game instability for me but try if you like

is it safe and working on latest version?
If i flashing a new ROM then install it again,the game will reset or not?
Thanks

If you are not doing a clean install of a rom (not resetting data) all saved game data remains, if you are installing a rom for the first time a factory reset is recommended. The hack changes your actual user data as if you had achieved it. Should work on any phone with root permission. If newest version is 1.02, then yes works fine and dandy.

Thanks mate,i already install this app and it works.
I just backup using Titanium and recover it after flashing a new ROM.
Now i can try to combine all breed fishes..
Thanks a lot for sharing..

No problem glad someone is getting some use from it.

Does this require root?
I don't see the tapfish 'folder'.

Has anyone tried this on version 1.111?
Nothing comes up when I select tapafish from the SQL app

Any updates to this?
I edited, bucks, coins and experiance but no changes reflected in the game.
IF I go back in to look at the sql file the changes I made show up still.
Thanks

Should work fine still, did run the game once first before?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Thanks bunches for this tip. the Wife will be very happy now.

I feel like this isn't being very respectful of the game they created :/

If enjoying the game to it's full extent utilizing a loophole is morally unsatisfying to you don't do it. I personally did not enjoy it as much pre-hack, I now play and enjoy it more. It's a matter of opinion.

@odes you friggin' rock!! This is awesome especially since the halloween fish are here!! Thanks!

SQL LIte doesnt work for me either. Nothing comes up when I select tapafish from the SQL app, just black screen and if I tap screen get the not responding msg/force close.
I tried another app "asqlite manager". It finds a tapfish sql file on my sd card, it lets me edit and save it but nothing is reflected in the game.
Is there a way to grab the correct file from the phone, edit it on pc and then restore to the phone? If there is could you please tell me the path to the tapfish sql file and any other info that may help me out.
Thanks
Jed

1) Your phone must be rooted
2) you must install the root explorer first
3) then install the pkg.apk file (sqlite you get on the original post)
If you install sqlite first....it wont work.
If your phone is not rooted, it wont work.
If you try to edit using the sqlite, it wont work....
Must do it via root explorer
Using the root explorer do the following..
data/data/com.bayview.tapfish/databases/tapfish.sqlite/user
then edit the coins/bucks/ex points.

[Hack]Any fish/background/plant/or anything
First off, thank you for the money hack.
Secondly, I would like to give something back.
I figured that we can use any images we like without having to extract/decompile the apk.
In /data/data/com.bayview.tapfish/download there are lots of folders containing images. In my 0b99c94 folder is a fish I don't like (images 1.png 2.png 3.png and selected.png) so I replaced the images with 3 images of a submarine with bubble animations. Then in 4a77750 was a rubbish background which I swapped.
Result
I am going to try improving the plants, backgrounds, add new fish and decorations to my collection.
I assume that when people view my tank, it just shows them the original images. Can somebody confirm by checking "LfcFan" tank 4? tyia
EDIT
It appears the images/folders in /data/data/com.bayview.tapfish/download get deleted periodically. I am going to try getting a copy of them but it looks like I will need to start again.

Checked your tank, negative on sub and background. let us know if you work it out.

LfcFan1977, how did you get that background?? I've done the money hack (which makes the game MUCH more enjoyable), but I've been searching and googling for a way to get different backgrounds. Can you give a step-by-step please?
EDIT
By the way, are you using Root Explorer, and if so, how are you viewing the images? I found the right folder (in Download), but can't seem to view images. I tried Astro, ES Image Browser, and Gallery.

I thought that would be the case. Other people will never be able to see our images via the game. We could post screenshots and/or the images we are using.

I place the new background image (480x320) on my sdcard. Then with SuperManager (which I believe does the same job as Root Explorer) I copy it and navigate to /data/data/com.bayview.tapfish/download. Find a folder containing a background I do not want and paste to replace the original. That image needs to be named "default.png" and you need read/write permission set. It is also a good idea to do the same with a cropped down (50x50) version and named "store.png", that provides a preview when applying in the shop.
The problem I noticed was that some folders/images in /data/data/com.bayview.tapfish/download get deleted. So (I think, after hours of messing about) I have managed to get a copy of all folders and images. With these on my sdcard I can view them easily and replace images I do not want. Then copy the whole folder (eg 1a78039) to /data/data/com.bayview.tapfish/download.
I still need to full test this out because the game appears to lag if every folder and image is in the "download" folder but I had a problem where some of the previews and item images where missing from the store.
*edit*
Lag - Caused by a seperate background process - ok now.
Store previews - Still no luck with those when I replace images. I either get no preview (for fish) or original (for background).
Note - Purchase fish, then replace images.
Note - Fish need to face left else they swim backwards.
download folder - Thought I could see the files in there when navigating with SuperManager but they do not appear - They are there though. Copy folder (eg 1a78039) to sdcard the view correctly.
Anyway, here are all the original folders/images. Sorry it is such a big zip file. download.zip
Hmmm... odd, I can not get this background. Nor can I get a food block to hang off the edge of the screen like that.
If all goes well I will post some new backgrounds, ornaments, animations, fish, ect, when I can.
BTW, if that tank ^ is yours odes, I can not re-add you as a friend because the username is to long. Tried with two different keyboards but its just to many digits. Odd

Create, Edit & Install A Custom Watch Face for the Gear 2

This is not a full blown, how to program tutorial. It's a simple "Getting started with Tizen SDK for Wearables"
First, you will need to Download and Install the Tizen SDK for Wearables.
Once installed, Start the Tizen IDE.
We need to make a quick emulator to emulate our Gear 2.
On the lower left panel, the Connection Explorer, click on the first icon to start the Emulator Manager.
Click "Add New".
Choose a Name in the Detail panel, ie 'Gear2'
Change the 'Density' to 278. Leave the rest of the settings default.
Click [Confirm]
Give it a moment to create your emulator.
Now your Gear 2 emulator has been created.
Start your emulator by clicking the blue 'Play/Run' button at the bottom of your newly created emulator.
You can minimize the Connection Explorer now.
Once the emulator starts, you can choose to right click on it, and click "Always on top"
Next, Maximize the Tizen IDE.
Let's start playing with a sample project.
Click File > New > Tizen Wearable Web Project.
In the new window, click Sample > Web App > ClockWidget > and choose a Project name (ie. MyWatchFace)
You will now be back to the Tizen IDE and you will have a project (MyWatchFace?) in the Project Explorer.
Double click on the name of the project and you will see the project files.
You can edit these with custom images and code or you can just test the stock project.
At the top of the Tizen IDE, click on the green Play/Run button. This will install and start the project on the emulator. It will also build a file in your Project Explorer named the same as your project, but ending with a .wgt extention. In this case, MyWatchFace.wgt. This file can be pushed directly to your Gear 2 via USB using SDB.
At this point you should have a pretty plain and simple black watchface on your emulator thanks to the sample we just built, but let's add a custom background.
Make a custom 320x320 pixel image to use as a background with photoshop, gimp, etc. I'll name mine 'mywatchface.jpg'. Now paste it into your Project Explorer.
While you are in the Project Explorer, double click on the css folder.
Next, double click on the style.css to open that style file.
Locate the background: #000 line and replace it with this line.. background: url(../mywatchface.jpg);
Click the Save icon to save the style.css.
Click the green Play/Run button to install and build the new version.
If you don't see the new watch face load immediately on the emulator, you may need to go into settings on the emulator and select the new watch face.
Now that we have played with the ClockWidget sample and edited the css to add a custom background, we can play around with java coding and more down the road, but let's put this watch face onto our Gear 2.
You will need to copy the MyWatchFace.wgt file that was built in the Project Explorer into the same directory that your SDB.exe is located... (ie. C:\Tizen\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools)
It's easier if you make sure that the emulator is no longer running.
Turn on USB Debugging (Settings/Gear Info) and then plug your watch into your PC/Laptop via USB.
If you have issues with your computer detecting your watch, you may need to install the Samsung USB drivers for your watch.
Start a CMD Prompt
Switch to the directory with the SDB.exe and MyWatchFace.wgt
Run a simple test to see if the watch is being seen..
Type: sdb devices
If you get an error, something is wrong. You should see "List of devices attached" and one should be a series of numbers and letters and display as "SM-R380"
Now that you know the device can be seen, you can push your watch face to the Gear 2.
Type: sdb install MyWatchFace.wgt
You will see text scroll by and then it will indicate that it is done. You should now have a new watch face on your watch!!
To manually uninstall the watch face, you will need to look at in your Project Explorer, Open the config.xml and click the Source tab at the bottom to locate the package id for this app.. In my case, it's package="rlfNgozRkA"
Type: sdb uninstall rlfNgozRkA
Now have fun. Share your experiences, ask questions.. and most of all.. Share your custom watch faces here for everyone. As a community we can all help each other learn how to program for our Tizen wearables.
<- Please click Thank You!

This needs to be sticky'd somewhere. Great contribution. Thank you!!

This was very helpful, thank you so much for taking the time to create a walk-through.
My really dumb question of the day, followed everything to a 'T' and my clock-face was installed as an app and not an available Clock face. (most other peeps that made a clockface shows up in Gear Manager.
Thoughts?
Thanks again

I had the exact same problem. You need to add one line to your config.xml (source tab)...
Code:
<tizen:category name="com.samsung.wmanager.WATCH_CLOCK"/>
Add this after the "<tizen:application" line

I'm on mac os x and not need to do in command line or terminal, if I have my gear 2 connected , it appeares in the connection explorer windows, so I selected and hit run and this automatically run on my gear 2.
The same with the emulator, if the emulator is running, it show in the connection explorer windows and the same procedure.

Very nice walk through. Quick question. I am having trouble with the emulator. No matter what I do, it comes up with the same digital clock face and not the wgt file or project that I was working on. I know I must be missing a simple step here.
Edit-nevermind. Working now.

The tutorial is great. Thanks @Breach
Could you also let us know how to load a second image on a screen touch event ?
That would be wonderful.

More info you can find also here (with some WatchFaces!!!):
Any way to sideload .wgt files to Gear 2

You just make another another one with a different name, "MyWatchFace2" etc.
It will automatically get another Application ID and will install as a separate app.

no.I didn't mean that.
what I want to achieve is a simple animation. (let's say every 10 minutes)
to do that , I have to load a new image on top of the screen.
how can I do that ?

Check for typographical errors and make sure the image is the right resolution, also make sure the image is in the root of the project and not in the js or css folders. See if that helps.
.

As soon as I open the app I get "Cannot find repository. Please check your repository".
Using Mac w/ Mavericks
Did I need the 555mb SDK file as well?

I copied the path to prevent spelling errors and it looks like background: url(C:\Users\myusername\workspace\test\320x3206-1.jpg);
When I hit play it does add a watchface to the emulator but it does not display the image. The image is 320*320 and its a .jpg
In the problems tab I have 1 warning:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Expected '===' and instead saw '=='. main.js /test/js line 135 JavaScript Problem
Im sure this is messing me up.

Change it to background: url(../320x3206-1.jpg);
I think your full path is broken once the files are loaded onto the emulator (since it moves the code into a virtual watch)

Android Wear now works with iOS - How to

Google announced that Android Wear is now compatible with the iPhone 5 or later running at least iOS 8.2 limited only to two android wear devices. but it turns out that it's compatible with all android smart watches after following these steps in the video, enjoy
How to video :
http://youtu.be/TlkZyx6Ygg0

WiFi Sync is not available when connected to an iOS device.
The toggle is even hidden on the watch after you pair it to an iPhone.

There is some settings missing with the iOS, but I'm sure in the future they will be available it's just a matter of time... I'm excited that a $50 smart watch or others are compatible with Apple devices and competing with the more expensive Apple Watch which is good for us the consumers

When I connected to my second watch, the first one disappeared, there is no dropdown to select which watch to do settings like in Android's version.
It's only me or it's the iOS version limitation?
I'm running it on iphone 5s, iOS 8.4.1

I have also heard that the Android wear is working with iOS. Do you have any list of Android wear, which are working with iOS? I think it is a great news of iPhone users. Now they have a lot of options.

LG G Watch, G Watch R, Moto 360 and Samsung Gear Live. Also Samsung’s Project Orbis will also work with iPhone devices and the Moto 360 2015 as well.

Thought I would try to pair with my iPhone 4s, but alas it doesn't work. Why, why, why?

Many smart watches now can connect with Android phone or iPhone.
Like DM08, i95, OUKITEL A28, ect in tinydeal all can be used with Android / IOS.

Is there any way of running custom watch faces that require Facer or WatchMaker with an iPhone?

About WatchMaker and Facer.
There's a way to install faces for Facer - no problem. And you don't need an Android device with paired wear.
Using ADB you can install Facer on you wear and then just copy needed files from .face zip archive, and it works. Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly with Huawei watch (and it's not mentioned that Facer is compatible with it). So, it works, but the faces are small and not positioned correctly on the watch.
More details here: <----->
Oops. I'm not allowed to post URLs here before 10 posts (I'm new on xda). So, you can google it by "HOW TO: Install custom watch faces on Moto 360 using Facer"
The question is about WatchMaker.
Same way I found its folder ("BeautifulWatches") on my wear file system, but I didn't succeed in guessing where and in what format to copy .watch (or unpacked) file
Any ideas about the way WatchMaker stores the faces on the wear? Can somebody check BeautifulWatches content on his watch with several installed WatchMaker faces and post the file structure here?

Is there a Cydia tweak or something that allows more functions? Now that iOS official supports Android Wear and there's a iOS 9 JB...

Waooh

Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who has suggested various methods it did help in more than one way to setup watchmaker on my Huawei Watch connected to Iphone 5s (unfortunately i have not been able to get any of the methods listed here to work but i believe that's due to an error on my end)
Thanks you so much jeffrey.goines you inspired me to search for the options within the BeautiulWatches folder thank you so much
Applications used:
1) WatchMaker - on the watch
2) ES file Explorer - on the watch
Now the steps below:
Installing ES File Explorer on your Watch
1) Download ES File Explorer apk to your PC
2) Use ADB Install command on the terminal to install the ES File explorer to your watch (the phone version of the apk works like a charm on the watch too)
3) This will install ES file explorer on your watch and you see a success on the terminal screen
Installing WatchMaker on your watch
1) Download WatchMaker or WatchMaker premium apk to your PC
2) Append a .Zip to the end the filename (Eg. WatchMaker.apk to WatchMaker.apk.zip)
3) Extract the WatchMaker.apk.zip file to a folder on your desktop
4) Open the folder inside you would see another 4 folders (assets, lib, META-INF, res)
5) Open the folder named res
6) Within res you get mutiple folders again scroll down to a folder named raw
7) inside the raw folder you would see 2 files, we are interested in the file named "android_wear_micro_apk.apk". this is the apk that you would install on your watch
8) Use ADB install command on your terminal to get the android_wear_micro_apk.apk isntalled on your watch
9) This will install WatchMaker on your wear and you would be able to see the default watchmaker faces.
Preparing the watchface
1) Download a watchface file of your choice from facerepo or any where else
2) You should get a zip (Eg. demowatchface.zip)
3) Extract the content of the zip file to a folder (Eg. demowatchface)
4) Open the folder and you would see the below contents
i) fonts
ii) images
iii) scripts
iv) preview.jpg
v) preview_dim.jpg
vi) watch.xml
5) rename preview.jpg to u1.jpg
6) rename watch.xml to u1.xml
7) create a new folder preview_dim
8) move preview_dim.jpg to preview_dim folder
9) rename preview_dim.jpg to u1.jpg
10) now zip everything back up to get a zip file with all the contents (Eg. demowatchface.zip)
Transferring the watchface to your wear
1) Open terminal and use the adb push command
adb push "path the zip file you created in step 10 above" /sdcard/
2) This will send the demowatchface.zip file to the sdcard folder on your wear
Installing the Watchface to watchmaker on your wear Final Step
1) Open ES file explorer on your watch
2) by default you should be in the sdcard folder
3) you should be able to see the watchface zip file you just transferred at the bottom (eg. demowatchface.zip)
4) click on the zip file, it'll open the zip and below you would see an extract button, click on extract
5) it will extract the files to a folder within the sdcard folder on your wear with same name as of the zip file (Eg. demowatchface)
6)Open the folder you just created (eg. demowatchface)
7) Inside the folder copy or cut the file u1.jpg and move/paste it to folder named BeautifulWatches/preview_mini (please note the folder BeautifulWatches already exists inside thesdcard folder on yiur wear if you have WatchMaker installed on you wear)
8) go back to the watchface folder (step 6) (eg demowatchface)
9) copy or cut the file u1.xml and move/paste it to folder named BeautifulWatches/watches
10) go back to the watchface folder (step 6) (eg demowatchface)
11) Copy or cut all the remaining folders and move/paste it inside BeautifulWatches folder
12) If prompted to cancel overwrite please select overwrite
13) That's it your are done.......
14) Just go to change watch face option on your watch select watchmaker from the options an set your favourite watch face
Enjoy watchface of your choice without using an android phone
Enjoy........
Apologies if i have had any typos above.... please feel free to reach out to me in case of any queries.....
The above approach is tested and working

Notification time
Hi, i ditched apple watch for Huawei, and put aside Pebble time too.
Is there anyway to see what time the emails or text msgs arrived on the android wear for ios?
Thats one of the few things missing for ios users..
Thanks.

Google announced that Android Wear is now compatible with the iPhone 5 or later running at least iOS 8.2 limited only to two android wear devices. but it turns out that it's compatible with all android smart watches after following these steps in the video, enjoy
That is awesome. Could this also be a possibility vice versa? iOS on Wear devices?

Hey mate, thanks a lot for the video link, it will surely help me to know all about Android wear. I was really glad to now about news that I got here..

FTP sever on watch lol

I managed to get an FTP sever running on my gwatch r using ES file explorer (yes it does work on wear and with root access as well if you are rooted)
I found it useful for transferring files to and from the watch to my phone LG G 3 obviously it's much faster than the other methods of Bluetooth file transfer I came accross. I also managed to do all this without touching a p.c just my phone, watch and a wifi connection.
If anyone is interested in how I did this then leave a reply and if enough people are interested I'll make a guide laugh
Sorry about the delay in getting this up lots going at work and home lately
Please read carefully as you can brick your device while playing in TWRP and I will not be held responsible for any damage caused by using this Guide.
Pre-requisites
Android device/phone (I’ll be using An LG G3 D855) or Tablet Rooted with ES file explorer and Wear media installed (play store)
Android wear device (I’ll be using a G-watch R) with root/unlocked bootloader? and TWRP installed
Wifi access point/router (your home wifi)
First of all we need to get ES file explorer on to the watch.
There are a few ways to do this (ADB ect) but I am trying to do these instruction without using a PC.
Using ES file explorer on you android device ensure root access mode is enabled (Slide from the left of the screen and scroll down to ‘Root Explorer’ and switch on) Then go to Local--- /Device/data/app Locate the ES file Explorer .APK and copy the file to another folder that doesn’t require root access ie Downloads folder
Ensure your Wear device is connected to your Android device and open Wear media on your Phone/Tablet.
Click on the picture of the Watch at the top and choose a non root destination folder for the .APK
Then click on the picture of the Phone at the top and locate the ES file Explorer .APK and click transfer/copy this will the put the .APK on your watch but not install it.
Now to install ES on your watch
Now go to your watch and reboot into recovery (TWRP)
Click mount and ensure System has an X next to it by clicking on it
Click advanced and File explorer Locate the ES .APK (mine is called something like com. Estrongs.android.pop) in the wear media destination folder you chose earlier
Click the file and click copy
Navigate to System/app and paste the .APK into this folder
Go to Wipe Advanced wipe and select Davlik Cache and Cache then swipe to wipe and reboot your device
Es should then be installed on your watch
Open the app on your watch open the menu and scroll to near the bottom and turn on root explorer and turn off gestures (there really annoying on a watch)
Then find Network and click Net manager to turn on the wifi on your watch and let it connect to your wifi access point
Just above should be Remote manager click on this and then ‘Turn on’ (this should then enable FTP access to your watch. If your go back to the watch face you should see a notification that an FTP server is running and it will give the IP address ie 192.168.xxx
Now open ES on your Phone (ensure connected to same network as the watch) open the menu and scroll to network and choose FTP
Click new at the bottom then FTP
For Server enter the address your watch is showing (192.168.xxx) tick Anonymous box
Choose a name for the device in ‘display as’ field and click ok. (please note the default port is 21 and should work in most cases but if the notification on your watch has a different port number ie 192.168.0.2:3721 use the numbers after the : so in this case I would enter 3721 into the port box under the Server part 8n ES and not leave the default of 21.
This should test the connection when you click ok
If all has worked you should now be able to click on the FTP you just created and it will show the files and folders on the watch. You can now use this to transfer files between your Phone and watch at a decent speed? ( I do backups on the watch using TWRP and transfer these to my phone or home server which also has an FTP service setup in ES)
Done
This was thrown together in about 10mins So I know it’s a bit rough. I would like to add screen shots at some point and if there are any errors you spot please let me know and I will correct ASAP (I’m sure there are loads lol)
Please also let me know if this worked for you

I would say most people would be interested so it'd would be good if you shared.

FTP on a watch? lol that sounds amazing. I am interested in hearing out how you did this.

We are waiting for u

waitting

nice idea.

Sorry guys thanks for the positive response been really busy of late will try to get some basic instructions up this weekend

awesome.
gotta try it tomorrow

You can also run Airdroid app on your watch over wifi. You can upload/download files and install apks using webinterface. The tricky part is to read the port number and ip address that it displays when the app is launched. On the phone this app can do much more than that.

How to find and acces config.xml? Looking for an app id...

Hello everybody...
To complete my own watchface I am looking for the app id of the samsung stopwatch app (and no - com.samsung.stopwatch-wc1 does not work).
According to the samsung support it is possible to launch 3rd party apps (although it has been said otherwise somewhere else) but they won't tell me the app id of the stopwatch app.
The reason is that it might crash the watch's os if the app might be changed (and so does the id).
What he did say was that I can find the id in the config.xml
So now I am looking for this file, even installed the tizen sdk and accessed my gear but could not find it.
Anyone an idea?
What I am looking for is a line in this file looking something like this: <tizen:application id="8JNTwwj8W.DeveloperConnectionSample"
This is the example id the support guy used to explain.
Hope anyone can help me.
Regards,
Enrico

Several Firmware packages are floating around...
You could extract files from rootfs.img for instance...
Or you play with Tool SDB... to check files on device...
Maybe if I have more time... I could look...
Best Regards

I have already accessed my device with the Tizen SDK but couldn't find the config.xml.
Is it a hidden file?
Would be great if anyone with access to the appropriate files could find out what the app id for the samsung stopwatch app is.
Regards

Please define access with SDK...
I am using Tool SDB...
https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.4/org.tizen.devtools/html/common_tools/smart_dev_bridge.htm
Command:
Code:
sdb shell
Then I can explore with Linux Commands...
Code:
ls
I have at the moment limited time...
Maybe "later" I could try to help you...
Best Regards

That means I can navigate through the file structure of my device.
Similar to a windows explorer....
Regards

apps /Widgets (wgt) and native (TPK) are stored in:
Code:
/usr/apps
READ only area...
Code:
/opt/usr/apps
R and W ... all apps installed in this folder...
You have limited access... if you have NO root.
Folder names = "ID"
I have not much time...
Only short looked into BQC5 rootfs.img ...
Again. Extract files form Firmware and explore "offline"...
Easiest way in my eyes.
Best Regards

Short tested on SM-R732... this is Gear S2... with old Firmware...
Code:
sh-3.2# launch_app com.samsung.stopwatch-wc1
... successfully launched
I can see Stopwatch on screen...
Okidoki... short checked SM-R760 Firmware... extracted files from rootfs.img... BQC5
And yes... it looks something is different...
Do you know SDB meanwhile?
Do you have Gear S3 for tests?
Do you know Command:
Code:
sdb dlog
For instance I would navigate to your stopwatch Icon... on Gear S3... and simple:
Code:
[B]sdb dlog>[/B]whereareyouMybelovedIDimissyousomuchandsearchingsincedaysveryVeryhard.txt
I have no Gear S3... so I don't know if same Icon...
I will try to search for word... text string:
stopwatch
Total Commander shows me 18 hits in whole rootfs.img...
I would say... you are looking for this:
Code:
com.samsung.chronograph16
maybe
Best Regards

Haven't tested with the sdb tool so far and yes I've got a Gear S3 to test.
Maybe I explain what I tried so far and what I've found out.
What I am trying to do is to start the stopwatch app (by samsung from the official app store; see attached picture).
First I googled the app id and found many threads saying that it corresponds with the folder name (as you said).
As this did not work I googled again and found out that this doesn't seem to work on the Gear S3 and I also found a post
of someone who seemed to be a Samsung official saying that it wouldn't work because on the Gear S3 you can't
open third party apps (meaning apps which are not installed by default) because they are not "preloaded".
I then contacted the Samsung support to ask if they plan to change this (since it seemed to me like a restriction within
the watch's os or in the gear watch designer).
The support guy however did not confirm that you can't start third party apps on the Gear S3 and showed respective code lines
as example what the app id would look like.
Here it is again: <tizen:application id="8JNTwwj8W.DeveloperConnectionSample"
When I asked him about the app id of the stopwatch app he checked whether he was allowed to publish it or not.
He came back saying he couldn't, because third party app (although it's a Samsung app...) id's might change which could then
let the os crash. But what I also learned was that I can find the app id's in the config.xml.
And because his example id looked pretty different to what the folder names normally do I thought that he may be right that
you can launch third party apps with the Gear S3 and that it is not com.samsung.stopwatch-wc1.
I only have to find out how to find and access this damn config.xml....
Alright so that was the long story.
I have to admit to be a bit afraid of hacking my watch with sdb and other tools but maybe I will give it a go....

Are you Windows User or Linux User?
You can learn without killing your Gear...
For instance with study Firmware Files... "offline"... on your Computer.
Step 1.
Download Firmware to your Computer... for instance BQC5 for SM-R760
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Step 2.
Unpack files...
Rename TAR.MD5 into TAR... so you can finally hopefully find file called:
Code:
rootfs.img
Step 3.
For Linux Users easier... maybe... to extract files from rootfs.img...
I am Windows Fanboy, so I have Tools
If you need help, ask.
For Windows I can share Link to Extraction Tools...
Best Regards

If these are stock files then I won't find anything about the stopwatch app anyway because it's not installed by default.

Sometimes I am not exact sure...
Why not do some practise to learn more...
Are you sure you request Widget?.. in *.wgt package?
config.xml is "Manifest" text crap of Widgets... Web apps or HTML stuff or how ever you will called...
What is, if your Stopwatch is native app... in TPK
Btw... WGT or TPK is only File extension... it is simple ZIP Archive...
Sometimes also Widgets are with file extension TPK...
Back to native...
Code:
tizen-manifest.xml
This is analog to config.xml ...
With NON rooted device you have problems to access all folders and to see all files...
So IMHO best method to understand how this work... is extract to HD from leaked Firmware.
Feel free to find your own way.
Please, if you find your answer... post here.
So I can learn from you.
Thanx in advance.
