This is an android app that allows you to use your phone as pip-boy. It actually syncs with your game, so all information is real-time and, yes, it works on our android wear devices!

Do you have to side load it to the watch? I have it on my phone, but there is no option to open it on my zenwatch 2.

Yup, you need to extract apk and sideload it. Also, notice how it cuts off 40% of the app and clicking on the buttons is really hard as they are so small. So, its only good for showing off to your fallout 4 fan friends. Although, using the map for fast travel on the watch is not that bad.
[Added]
However, if you are really determined to have it showing fully, you can try playing with DPI values.

I figured it out. It keeps randomly closing for me though, and the left and right half of the screen are cut off. I'm new to sideloading apps to my wear device, so now I need to figure out how to remove it from my watch

I tried some of the methods posted on the net, but none seem to work. What you can try is to load TWRP recovery into your watch and just delete folder that contains works like falloutcompanionapp inside /data/app/. Or if you already rooted your watch, you can just access that folder without recovery.

Let me guess.... the watch has to be rooted to sideload it?

I did some research, and it turns out I don't have to be rooted. Don't even need that special CAT5/USB cable that the Moto 360 requires. Just Sven's toolkit.

That's right, you don't need a root to sideload apps. You just need to activate the adb mode in developer settings. Its best to use adb over USB since Bluetooth is so painfully slow.

Possible Temporary Solution For Notifications Delay ! - No Root Needed

Hi! I own a Mate 8 and like many others, have this big problem with notifications, especially with emails.
After having tried several firmwares, nothing has changed.
True, the phone has a large autonomy, but .... Who wants a device that lasts 48 hours on, if not fulfill its basic mission?
This I discovered, is not my discovery.
I think I have read all the threads in XDA concerning the issue, and I see that we are all lost in the fog.
Someone (I apologize because I do not remember the thread, or the owner) suggested that with a simple adb command, you could disable Doze, and then, all notifications would arrive immediately.
And it is true !
It is true, though not a definitive solution, because when you turn off the device, the solution is again lose ....
But consider that the method is super simple, and I see it as a possible solution until some brilliant mind, the kind that many see in this forum, to develop an app that automatically run at startup, and not to depend on a PC every time you start the phone.
I would like someone else try this, I've done in my device (AL-10 firmware version B168), and is a radical change in functionality.
I work in sales online, and for me it is vital receive emails instantly.
The steps are simple and absolutely reversible:
NO NEED TO BE ROOT FOR THIS
1- Android SDK installed on the PC
2-Enable "USB debugging" in developer Options
2- Connect the device to the PC with the screen off (I'm not sure if relevant)
3- Go to the installation folder of Android sdk, and then enter in the "Platform tools"
4- Button Shift + right mouse button, and then click on: "open command window here"
5- write "adb devices" to verify that the phone has been detected
6- if it has been detected (the serial number of the device should appear on the command screen), and then, write this new command:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
...then, enter.
Should appear a response such as "idle mode disable" as confirmation.
This command turn off Doze, so the device is "always on alert".
The theory indicates that autonomy should now be affected markedly...
But in my experience it is not so.
As I said, it is a temporary patch... When you turn off the device and turn it on again, these changes are lost (Which also makes reversible)
Maybe someone here, can give us some glimmer of hope with an app that simply run this command automatically (do not know if it is possible without root).
All I can say, based on my experience, is that this works perfectly and do not depend on updates from Huawei ... wich probably never come.
In my case, I never turn off the device except in very unusual conditions. It may depend on this temporary solution until someone give us a hand!

i tryed this solution ( my mate rooted) and app tasker but issues not solved... i don't know why...

My Mate is not root, is a NXT-AL10 untouched, 4Gb ram version, and at least in my case, this patch is perfectly functional.
I have tried several times in an attempt to get it to work after restarting the phone, and that is why I can assure you it works, at least in mine (if not turn off the phone) ..
By the way, just I discovered that if I write:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle
all applications that Doze have in the whitelist, shown on the screen of the PC.
Perhaps some expert knows how to use this information specific to this model.

i tryed many times, but after 30 minutes all notidication are stopped. whatsapp is in white list, but issues not solved.

I've been running my phone for about a week with the dumpsys command and can confirm it's resolved all of my notification issues and I still get 2 days battery life with a fair amount of us. I've not noticed additional battery drain running this command.

I'm the one who found it, by simply analyzing how Doze worked on the phone.
It would be possible to make an app that automatically runs the command upon startup, of course.
You could use something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d&hl=en
But root is necessary to adjust the settings unless you plug in a computer with ADB.
I don't have the phone working anymore (it's bricked) so I can't do much, sorry.

This solution don't work in my case. After a few hours, notifications fail. The only way to get notifications is restart the phone.

exactly, same problem for me

I seen someone install greenify and using the app setting white list to avoid the doze issue. Anyone can confirm? No root needed

What helped for me was going into Apps, then Advanced, then Ignore Battery Optimizations and select the apps you want. They will stay open and you should get notifications.

Do you think there is any possibility to execute the command from the phone itself?
Thx

This is oneof the first steps we all have done.... Nothing the problem still there....and i cant imagine that there is someone with mate 8 that his device hasn't this problem....the most of them just hasn't notice... If you dont use mail app and exchange then is possible not to notice that the notification isn't coming to time

PNF doesn't help?

Bad idea. You will get instant notifications from gmail but the battery will die in no time without doze.

Correct, it will have to be done after every reboot unless he is rooted then he can create a startup script.

How do I stop update notices?

I'm rooted with Android 10 on my pixel4a. I don't want to upgrade to 11 just yet, but I keep getting the annoying update notices. Is there an app or module I can freeze with titanium to turn off the notices?

Wrong forum, dude!
An app from Google Play called "Notification off" did the trick for me on my Sony xz2c.

Because i reported it

I posted a similar question in the correct forum with no replies. The Notification Off app in the Play Store hasn't been updated since 2015.
And anyway, not a normal notification...the full screen one that appears overnight every night. There should be a process that can be blocked or turned off on a rooted phone(?), but I can't find it.

Same question. I don't need a daily reminder that my OS is is out of date.

Testing the below on a Marlin with Android 9 & TRWP backup before I actually try on Sunfish with Android 10.
1. Usb debugging on
2. Computer with adb drivers
Open command window in pc and connect your device and run these commands one by one.
Commands are
Adb devices (for checking device is connected)
Adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm
exit
Done. No more update notification.

Thanks for the tip on the process to look for. I froze it using Titanium Backup and I'll see if that solves it.
EDIT: Freezing that app process does nothing. I froze it and then got another full screen notification a few hours later.

After some trial and error, I think the correct process is Dynamic System Update. I froze that process but I'm still receiving notifications.
I then found that even though the process is disabled in TiBackup, it still has notifications turned on.
Go to Settings/Apps & Notifications
Select see all apps
Top right 3-dots/select show system
Scroll down to Dynamic System Update.
The notification can't be turned off.
I cleared storage and cache for it and restricted battery use.

Could be a Titanium issue..........................no ill effects on the Pixel XL so I removed file with ADB command of pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm on the Pixel 4A..............no update notices overnight..............will report back in a few days to confirm.
Edit: 24 hours I get notice for update............

logcat-entry for that popup seems to be
Code:
START u0 {act=android.settings.SYSTEM_UPDATE_COMPLETE flg=0x10048000 pkg=com.google.android.gms cmp=com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog (has extras)} from uid 10147
on my pixel 4a. sounds a lot like the process described on that other post here, so ..
i’ve gone ahead and disabled that process. fingers crossed.

Thanks for posting this information.
But if it causes some other problems can that be reversed, and if so how?
I originally had hoped for a Tinatiaum freeze solution so that I could easily reverese it if there any problems, but it doesn't seem that anyone has yet found a program that can be frozen that will eliminate the popups.
I'm beginning to suspect that a lot of Apple OS programers have infiltrated Android and are turing Android into Apple little by little, until one day we'll wake up and find that every one has to ask Steve Job's estate for permission to use their phone.

"pm uninstall -kb -user 0 ..." is not permanent (simply 'disables' the executable) and can be easily reversed. A bit of googling will surface procedures.
Enforcing updates and associated reminders is good security hygiene. No evil intent IMHO.

I'm fine with security updates, but unfortunately, the updates always seem to break something that once worked, so I want to wait until the items that weren't supposed to be broken by new security are fixed, And the "evil" part comes from programmers making aesthetic changes for no reason other than someone thinks "this would be nicer if..."

There isn't any "com.google.android.gms" or anything similar in my Titanium list. A search in Titanium for "com.google.android.gms" returns two items: "Google Location History 1.0" and "Google Play...33172415" - is that second one the item I need to freeze? After freezing it I get popups saying "iHeart Radio won't work" and "google maps won't work" and "Pixel launcher won't work", etc, sure enough, they don't work after freezing "Google Play...33172415"

Can't help you there in Titanium but the below works with no ill effects.

Besides Audio mods and other apps that don"t work with Android11........... another reason to stay on Android10 for now.

Despite the block of the update module in TiBa, I got bitten by it anyway. It downloaded and installed (wrong setting in developer options) on a reboot. I never saw anything. It just happened and now I'm stuck on 11.

I too wish to block auto-updates...and I have a few questions for you...
1) This thread seem to indicate that you need to disable the package " pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog " using ADB and that this package is not visible in TiBa, so did you use ADB, and if not, what did you freeze in TiBa?
2) You also said "(wrong setting in developer options)" - what did you mean by this? I'm asking because I turned that option off in developer settings and I was hoping that would stop the auto-updates.

Completely remove gui

Hi,
I have a oneplus with a unstable screen,
and I wanted to mine crypto with it since it’s fully functional but just not suitable as a normal phone.
So is there a way to completely nuke the gui on my phone, so when I boot up my phone it has a internet connection but just boots directly into a shell?
Regards

No, surfaceflinger.rc is essential for zygote. Why bother with display? Or do you mix up with unstable touchscreen (disturbing ghost touches)?

So I can mine more. The lower amounts of irrelevant stuff the phone have to process the better

so just pm uninstall --user 0 <pkgname> irrelevant apps - surely display is not
