Hey everybody,
I guess I was not the only one being a bit disappointed that google didn´t make adaptive audio available for the Pixel 4 devices as well.
To be honest I personally think it´s a bit of a gimmicky feature that´s not very critical, but making it exclusive to Pixel 5 left a bitter after taste.
Here´s how to enable the feature persistent across reboots on a rooted device:
1. Download the pixel 5 device personalization app from apkmirror and install the app:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/device-personalization-services/device-personalization-services-r-11-playstore-pixel5-353007393-release/device-personalization-services-r-11-playstore-pixel5-353007393-android-apk-download/
2. Flash the attached magisk module Adaptive_Audio_Settings_Enabler.zip via magisk manager app and do a reboot.
Wait a few minutes after the phone booted successfully and the entry in settings will appear.
Manual command method, doesn´t survive reboots but works on unrooted devices as well:
1. Download the pixel 5 device personalization app from apkmirror and install the app:
Device Personalization Services R.12.playstore.pixel5.357001175 APK Download by Google LLC - APKMirror
www.apkmirror.com
2. Make sure to have USB Debugging enabled via developer options and have a working adb environment. Then connect your phone to pc.
3. Type the following:
Code:
adb shell
4. then type (this step is not needed)
Code:
su
grant superuser permission in the window that opens on your phone.
5. Now paste the following commands:
Code:
device_config put device_personalization_services AdaptiveAudio__enable_adaptive_audio true
Code:
device_config put device_personalization_services AdaptiveAudio__show_promo_notification true
You can enable it now in settings and try the feature for yourself.
A few notes here:
I´m unsure how much profit this feature really gives, even on the Pixel 5. When enabling it on my 4XL the sound gets a bit more bassy.
Judging from the logs it should be working as it is with the steps described above. It might be that it´s tuned towards the Pixel 5, but well... Having options is always nice
The guide with the manual commands works without root, for those that don´t like to run rooted. I was able to disable and enable the feature back again without the need for root. Maybe some apps can execute scripts without root on the phone so it will stay across reboots. Somebody else has to figure this out though.
Have fun with it

Wow, would you also happen to know how to enable night sight portrait mode on P4?
Thanks m8, you are a legend.
Works great on my 4XL stock, no root.
I followed the guide without the "su" part on adb shell
Thank you for the tip, but whenever I reboot the phone it will not stick, I'm currently rooted.

You´re correct. I didn´t notice it, because it takes a short while for the setting to disappear after rebooting.
I made a magisk module, that passes the command every boot after a timeout. Magisk required obviously

After installing the module, I added the commands using adb shell but adaptive sound still does not persist after a reboot.

Flash the module in magisk manager, reboot, wait a few minutes and the entry should pop up. It needs a few minutes. There’s no need for any manual commands with the module.

There are plenty of guides on xda on how to setup adb.
How to install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux
If you're on Windows, Linux or macOS, you can follow these step by step instructions to install ADB on your desktop or laptop PC.
www.xda-developers.com
If you are rooted with magisk and unfamiliar with command line, there's also the magisk module.

Open it in play store and hit uninstall. Then update again and it will install the latest one for pixel 4.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.as
Open this link when viewing xda via browser on your phone.
I am sorry telling you that my friend but I am rooted and did yesterday the process and everything was ok, after some seconds as you said the adaptive sound wan in my menu.
Today as I went to check if it was still there, kaboom, disappeared so I uninstalled everything and did it from the beginning, so it can be installed again.
Have an idea why?
Let's go ahead and give this a try. Thanks
Can confirm that it still does work. But after rebooting even with the root method and the module still showing up in magisk adaptive sound vanished in settings. Reinstalling the module makes it appear again and function.
Edit: The feature just vanished without a reboot. Guess Le Googs doesn't wan tus usingit RIP.
The comment above and I are experiencing the same symptoms. When a module is installed, it is initially visible in the configuration, but sometimes it is not present after a period of time. If you reboot each time, it will come back.
However, I wish it could be maintained without rebooting.

That can't be verified. However, sometimes when time passes, it may not be in the setting.
I don't think there's a solution, but thanks for letting me use a service that doesn't support it.
I think I figured out why it sometimes disappears when I check it after some time.
I'm using the dolby digital plus module, but after deleting this module once, I tested to see if it disappears after a while, and the adaptive sound was maintained.
I'm not sure if it's causing a conflict between modules. I also noticed that the two modules run together at first.

...:::YOUR BATTERY'S ANTIDOTE IS BEING DISPENSED BY:::...
<<<<---------<<TEAM VeNuM>>--------->>>>
PERMANENTLY DISABLE BATTERY-DRAINING SERVICES:
INTRO
After receiving permission from RandomKing, I began adjusting his SUPERFREEZE script and successfully ported it over from the OG Epic 4G to our Epic Touch 4G! It basically takes four specific commands(listed right below this intro) and combines them into one, single word, superfreeze, which can then be used instead to execute their actions. The script is used to PERMANENTLY disable all four services managed by the commands(the services being DRM, SYSTEM UPDATES, MEDIAHUB & SOCIALHUB). In addition to superfreeze, superdefrost(used to re-enable the services) is added to the bin folder as well. And to give you any idea of how well your device may perform after disabling these services, last night my phone drop only 1% b/w 1am - 7am, thats 1% every 6 hours!!!
This is what superfreeze actually does for you:
Code:
[B]pm disable com.sec.android.providers.drm(DRM)
pm disable com.sec.android.socialhub(SOCIALHUB)
pm disable com.samsung(SYSTEM UPDATES)
pm disable com.sdgtl.mediahub.spr(MEDIAHUB)[/B]
[SIZE="1"]****not yet added BUT is highly recommend to execute the following command****[/SIZE]
[B]pm disable com.sec.android.app.sns(SNS)[/B]
The purpose of this post is to save your battery as much juice as possible, so if you would rather not download this mod and flash it through CWM, you could just type the above commands in a Terminal emulator. It will take you all but 1-2mins, without the need of downloading and installing any 3rd party apps that will not only take up space, but will also use up your battery and system resources. The end result will be the same, which is to PERMANENTLY disable the following services, only using these commands/script is free, and requires no battery or system resources to maintain them disabled!
SERVICES AFFECTED BY USING THE MOD
-DRM-
Digital Rights Management - I haven't noticed any difference when playing back streaming/downloaded media. Disabling this, or any other services listed below, will not have an adverse effect on your system, besides that on battery life, BUT REMOVING them may cause issues....
...:::UPDATE - Since Starburst v1.8 has removed all of these mentioned services, there's no longer a need for a separate version. Just flash the ROM and these services will be DELETED from the get-go BUT proceed with caution as random reboots are present. FYI I'm currently on another ROM which also has the lock mod and none have reported ANY reboots yet:::...
-SYSTEM UPDATES-
When using a custom ROM its best to NOT update using anything that is OTA distributed, so why have this kept running?
...:::Only if you need to update PRL or PROFILE, listed under SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>SYSTEM UPDATES, do you need to re-enable this service using the superdefrost command:::...
-MEDIAHUB-
I have never used this app and it too is contstantly listed under RUNNING APPS
-SOCIALHUB-
Have only used it a few times w/ my text messages, and being that its constantly listed under RUNNING APPS, I'd rather have more battery life and disable it
....::::NOT YET INCLUDED(working on having more than four disabled in one shot)::::....
-SNS-
Social Network Services - does NOT effect the Facebook app available in the Market. Is usually listed as a cached process, so even though it may not be consuming as much battery as the rest of these services, it is using some and system resources.
As of now, the script is only allowing four services to be successfully disabled. Whenever an addition line of command is entered it combines two and causes errors. In the meantime, to save more battery life, enter the command listed above, found underneath the INTRO, to disable the SNS service
DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk. In no way, shape or form will any member of Team VeNuM or myself be held responsible if anything were to happen to your device or your life by flashing anything posted on here!!!

I'm running SB 1.7 (great rom) and when I check under running it only lists social hub. Is there a way to just remove this via root explorer to avoid having to use this mod?
Hi there,
This seems cool but I had a question.
If you're stopping SNS, media hub and social hub... If I'm using the application autostarts (which allows you to control when an app/service starts based off actions i.e.- sms sent, boot up, outgoing call etc)... Do I really even need this?
Seems like this is doing what autostarts does but it's free?
Thanks for the feedback and good work!!
Thanks, giving it a try!
tried, after putting in the command, it only said that the hub was disabled. and in running services, drm was still going...
also, would i have to reenter this everytime i reboot or is it perm?
...also.. question, when you said that only 1% is lost at night, is that with 3g and everything off? my battery isnt astounding because i use it aaa lottt , but when i go to sleep, i turn data, background, etc. off and wake up with only 1% lost also...

What this does is PERMANENTLY disables all four of those services, w/o having to deleting them...Im not too familiar w/ autostart, but from what Im reading, its preventing these services from starting during specified actions, however, if an action that is not listed/controlled by that application takes place, the service will start vs the mod not allowing the services to start at all, during ALL, listed and unlisted actions...hope this helps, and thanks!

Not through Root Explorer but through a terminal emulator...I will post the individual commands in a minute, along w/ some screen shots
flashed http://www.mediafire.com/file/13y1376i5jbu66d/SuperFreezeStarBurst.zip. Said it was successful. Rebooted and fired up terminal emulator, su, superfreeze and it displays superfreeze: not found. Will try to reflash...
BTW, running StarBurst 1.7
edit2: reflash worked. Will report back on battery life. Thanks
Cool, giving this a shot now. Will report back.
Quick question since i have TB donate and can deep freeze stuff there why can't i just do that?

Yea, I posted in OP that the 1st flash may give an error and to reflash w/o reboot if possible, its kinda hard to tell unless your looking for it, unfortunately I can't take a screenshot of CWM but it basically says "install aborted" at the very end of the flashing process after everything else goes through fine...Im glad you got it to work though!

What does deep freeze do? Im not familiar w/ TB....all I can do ATM is advise you that this mod is free, and it will PERMANENTLY disable all four of those services, never allowing them to be ran/turned back on for ANYTHING, no matter w/ action is taken or what app is opened, it will remain disable unless you re-enable it through ADB or a terminal emulator
Wanted to check this out with viperrom and it flashed fine first try but i got a couple errors/permission denied when i ran the script so i thought id post the screenshot and see what you guys think

Hello All,
Here is a stock repackaged firmware to be used if you enabled SDE like described here.
To install it:
1) Extract zip file content
2) Copy rooted_withsu.squashfs.secure to internal storage root. You can do it the usual way or with adb with this:
adb push rooted_withsu.squashfs.secure /data/media
3) Reboot
4) On boot menu, select "Recovery system"
5) Select "developer edition menu"/"flash kernel and initramfs"
6) A drive should appear on your PC, copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to it.
7) Select OK, the kernel should flash.
8) Select OK to reboot.
9) Select SDE in boot menu, you should be rooted and SuperUser functional.
Download firmware here.
And let me know if it worked for you,
LeTama

It is ok

How do you get to "developer edition menu"/"flash kernel and initramfs"
Currently if I press and hold power / volume down to boot I get 3 options. Android, Developer Edition and Recovery System. If I select Developer Edition and press the power button it comes up with Booting Developer Edition and then appears to reboot this then loads standard android.
Can I just check that im doing this correctly?
Thanks
---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------
Lol. Im a dumbass... Recovery menu then developer edition menu.
My bad, as I don't have the boot menu, I didn't write proper description:
On boot menu, select "Recovery System" then you'll see a menu with the "developer edition menu" entry. First post modified to reflect that.
All done . If I boot developer edition I have root, If I boot standard I dont - Thank you very much
One thing I note is that superuser apk doesnt retain its memory after a reboot.
So far i have just tried a couple of tools that reboot / shut down your archos (as for me thats all im desperate for doing as im installing the device into my cars dash and have no access to the button). Reboot and Shutdown works fine, but if you ask for the bootloader it seems to mess up - will look at writing something fresh anyway as all I really need is the ability to send it to sleep on ac power disconnect

Ok, I believe I know why you loose settings: If you reboot into "regular" android (ie, without root), android detects that the superuser application was removed from the firmware and removes associated data. I'm not sure I can do anything about this, don't boot into regular android is probably the best advice I could give
After all, no need to go there anymore.
Wow, thats a real help many many thanks. If i call reboot_into -s sde post booting then it should always boot back into sde even if it boots off due to battery power yeah?
I know im a bit of a noob when it comes to android (been a windows coder for a while).
There isnt a way to put the device into "deep sleep" using the command line is there? Basically the whole aim of rooting this device for me is to make it so I can either put it to sleep or power down when external power is removed. I should now be able to shut it down, but id like to make it "sleep" instead if possible as that will come to life a lot faster. The aim being that i will add external power when i flick the key in my car (waking the device up), and then when i switch off it will lose power and be put into sleep mode. If the battery dies then it will recharge when i flick the key again and do a full boot anyway - which i should be able to force into sde as above.

Well, I didn't check power management much in these new kernels, but first, I'm not sure I understood the purpose of this. What differs from the normal power management ? I would do this: "Screen/Timeout 15 seconds" (to power down quickly), and "Application/Development/Stay Awake" (To keep screen up while power is on) ? You add on top "About tablet/Power Management/Deep sleep" for better sleep and you're good ?
Thats what I do currently, but there are times that it doesnt go to sleep. I will be using as a media player, and if you have music playing the screen will go off but leave the music playing which will stop it from powering down, although i can probably kill any running apps on power off. Also I use the full size USB slot on the back to connect a laptop hard drive - and ive noticed that it seems to wake the device up when you just turn off the screen, but doesnt if you hit the power button and tell the device to sleep. Ive played with settings related to the USB port but no luck so far with that one. Sorry for hijacking the thread though - i got a bit off topic.

I see. I'm not a power management expert, so maybe someone could give you better advice.
One other lead I could give you: do you know /sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep ?
This one is nice, a cat on it will be blocked until the screen goes off. It doesn't solve your usb drive problem, but you could use it if you need to be notified that screen goes off.
I'll take a look at kernel source code to see if I can find something.
thanks lekama so much

Not with this firmware, this is pure stock with exactly the same way of of mounting system from a read-only squashfs.
You have two solutions, repackage your own squashfs or modify the initrd to mount an ext4 image for instance.

It is rooted. You can run any rooted application with it.
However, as I explained above, this firmware is pure stock with the same squashfs method meaning read-only /system. It's more like a proof of concept that SDE works properly.
I don't have much time to maintain builds and I'd prefer someone else to come up with one, but if nobody does, I'll do one running on r/w ext4 image.
Thanks. Is there any known way to bypass the 256 byte Archos security signature?
//Edit: In the squashfs, I mean.

PixelExperience
What is this?
Pixel Experience is an AOSP/CAF based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
PixelExperience_dragon-9.0-20190624-1228-UNOFFICIAL.zip
Known issues:
- Encryption seems not work - and has not been tested. -> Pls do not encrypt your data partition yet.
- Keymaster -> If you set Pattern, PIN or Password the Screen unlock may not work correctly.
Workaround for Pattern: On fresh boot you will need to wait a bit longer before you enter credentials.
The waiting time is required on fresh boot only, the following unlocks are working normally.
In case of problems pls use Update.ZIP_TWRP_flashable_pattern_pin_remover_V2.zip to remove pattern/pin or password.
Installation:
1. Boot into TWRP (latest available version)
2. Wipe system, cache, dalvik and data partitions ! ( If you have encrypted /data partition - pls "format" /data via TWRP first ! )
3. Install ROM.zip
4. install Magisk.zip
5. Reboot into system ..
- The ROM does contain it's own vendor.img !
- This ROM does include Gapps already !

You have too much time on your hands
Awesome ROM. Was waiting for such a release... Thank you

Amazing thank you for keeping this tablet alive!
Simply awesome. Fantastic job. The best Pixel C custom rom.
Seems like front camera is not working (especially on Google Duo app) any work arounds?

Got this installed today and currently using to write this message. I'm confused regarding the known issues though....
I set a PIN as it wasn't specifically mentioned, but I could not login at next reboot at all. Every time I entered the PIN, the screen would refresh back to the PIN login screen. I tried again many times, left it 10 minutes but nothing worked so I had to factory reset from TWRP in order to gain access to the tablet again.
Perhaps I have misinterpreted the known issues?
Only other problems I had was the following:
- Wifi drops off sometimes for no reason, then comes back about 10 seconds later
- Couldn't use default two-factor authentication when logging in with my Google account (i.e.. Press 'Yes' on your phone), I had to use Google Authenticator to generate a code instead. Having said this, after the factory reset, it worked this time.
- Couldn't setup the device first time around as it was unresponsive and slow, a reboot fixed this
- Can't seem to drag apps on my home screens on top of eachother to create folders, whatever I do they always seem move the other app rather than create a new folder.
And for the record, I was stock before this, followed the instructions above (Obviously had to unlock bootloader before installing TWRP for the first time).
Only issue I've seen so far is the normal navigation buttons the recents button is missing

Wasn't that a bug we all had when we went from Android 7 to 8?
Using another launcher stops it.

Yeah I also had issues creating a new app shortcut (by dragging an app icon from the list of apps to the home screen). Installed a different launcher and that's those problems dealt with. WiFi seems to be fine now too so could have been a local issue.
All in all, it's great to see Pie on the Pixel C, it deserves it too because the hardware is still outstanding, even in today's market.
Thank you followmsi
Thank you!
Thanks! I'm running it right now!
I have no problem creating folders on the desktop. The way to do it is to approach the icon in the upper left, diagonally. At least that's how it works for me

You can try this method to turn on recent buttons.
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"

followmsi - Just to clarify (before I go locking myself out completely!) - If I set a pattern unlock (NOT Pin or Password), I will be able to unlock my device properly after waiting a while??

For me it works like this .. waiting a bit longer before first pattern unlock.
Otherwise.. have a look here.

Thanks for the prompt responses. One more question which I'm yet to solve regarding the 30 second bootloader unlocked wait during boot.
I've heard that if I relock the bootloader, the device will lose root and wipe itself. I don't mind a wipe, nor do I use root. So if I were to relock the bootloader, would it still boot up OK into this current ROM? Others have said it could brick the device!.....?
Thanks for this great ROM! I've been waiting for a proper Pie ROM for a long time!
I got no issues with the PIN. Got a 8 numbers PIN and it works great.
Only issue I have is the folder thing but it does not matter as I got not much apps on my tablet!
I got an issue with a notification telling me that the setup was not finished and tapping on it brought a "OK" button and a white page... Tapping OK would get rid of the notification but it would eventually come back a couple minutes later. A reboot solved this issue.
camera not working at all ...
First of all: Thank you so much!!!
wonderful ROM.
Just: the camera is not working.
Any ideas / experiences with that?
costlyman seems to have the same problem.
EDIT: working now after a few restarts - and I don't know.
Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem with my TV, as I found out the problem is from the brand side. They choose a rom that that does not have this... The only way to give permision to an app is only through ADB that it is not an easy job
I also have the same issue with my TV, waiting for the solution.
I've gone crazy **** about this issue. I badly wanted to use Button Mapper but couldn't find the app under Accessibility Services. After 1 whole day of head storming, I was able to do it. It's the only way for now as the above user said some TVs not enabled accessibility menu in settings. This can be solved by their system update but till then we have to do manually with ADB.
You should have knowledge of ADB shell commands running through USB debugging with the help of ADB minimal tools or android SDK(please google if you don't know).
Enable developer settings and USB debugging. Connect TV to your computer having ADB tools. Remember only USB 2.0 port will work so don't use 3.0
Run "adb devices" to check whether TV got connected.
If connected then run this command
"adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services PKGname/ServiceName"
,here package name is your app package name where as service name is one of the app's services which seeking accessibility service.
For example I tried for Button Mapper(to map the remote buttons and it won't run without accessibility service enabled).
"adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services flar2.homebutton/flar2.homebutton.utils"
After that run another command for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS(this is must)
"adb shell pm grant PKGname android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
in my case it is "adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
This will resolve the issue without any problem. If you know adb commands then you can play with all the permissions and services for the apps.
Run above commands without quotes. To check apps package,permissions,services you can user any app manager/analyser app. I'm using FX explorer which is best file explorer and app manager. I'm attaching snaps which will be helpful. Let me know if you still face issues.

The same way I resolved this and other apps
The only thing you need to do with Button Mapper is this:
adb shell pm grant flar2.homebutton android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
The app will take care of the rest after it has that permission
Perhaps anyone knows this:
In my tv sony XH900 (it has accessibility menu, it's not my problem), when i use button mapper and give accessibility permission through the menu, it works fine, but there is one bug:
Volume buttons +- doesn't work continually.. By keep press + for example, it just increase sound only 1 step. I have to press and left, the button many times to increase sound more steps..
Is this the default for all tv if you use button mapper or only mine?
Is there any solution?
Thanks,
I have the accessibility menu but when I install any app it doesn't appear on accessibility menu at all.

Wow...Din't expect your reply. If you're official developer or team of Button Mapper, just want to tell you one thing.
"You saved my ass so many times". I just love your app and have been using it since a year, happy to say I paid for full version since starting.

As the Huawei Ailesi, we promised to make a big difference compared to the classical media, and we continue to keep this promise in a way that will guide the world. Here is a guide that no one else has: the guide to install apps as APKs on the new Watch 3 series! We are very excited, if you are ready let's get started!
First of all, we need to point out that this guide does not work on the Watch GT series, that is, the smart wearable series with LiteOS operating system, please do not try it in vain and do not ask questions like "Will it work on Watch GT 2 Pro?" in the comments. Only valid for the new Watch 3 series.
Of course, it is necessary to meet some requirements before this process.
Requirements:
- Computer
– Watch 3 series or any laptop (or a WiFi-enabled desktop) connected to the same network
– Minimal ADB and Fastboot
If the requirements are ready, let's start the installation.
1-) First, go to the settings on the watch, then go to the about device section and press the build number a few times. Developer options will open.
2-) Then go back and find the developer options, scroll down the menu slowly and activate the "Debug via Wi-Fi" button.
3-) That's all we're going to do clockwise for now, we switch to the computer and run the Minimal ADB program.
4-) We take a note of the ip address on the clock and enter the command adb connect 100.100.100.100:5555 (written as an example) and connect the computer to the Watch.
We provide confirmation to the connection from the confirmation window that appears on the watch. When everything is done the command you entered will result in a space. If you get a network error, please check your network conditions.
5-) Enter the command adb shell pm disable-user com.android.packageinstaller in the active command window. This command will disable the verification of applications trying to install from external sources, if you continue without using this command, the applications will not be installed.
6-) Transfer any APK file to the location of Minimal ADB for testing, we can recommend you to try YouTube Vanced on the watch.
7-) Then enter the command adb install apkad.apk (example: adb install vanced.apk) in the active command window, the apk name here will be the name of the APK you copied into Minimal ADB, you cannot install with any random name.
That's it, you'll see the YouTube logo on the watch's interface, isn't it great?
Note: In order not to damage the system integrity, when you are finished installing the APK, enter the adb shell pm enable com.android.packageinstaller command and close the command window.
We are waiting for you to write the applications you have tried and got successful results in the comments section, Huawei Ailesi has shown its difference again

This way a regular APK will be installed, or there is a way to install a wear version of apk? Apps supported by watch often have special version of app inside APK specially designed for watch and in the past there was a way to specify that you want to install not the phone app version, but the watch app version. Thank you for your guide!
Hello,
I need to root it because of use it as door access card. Is it possible? And do you have apk to support it?
Thank you for the tutorial.
I have followed all the steps and managed to install my first applications on my Huawei Watch 3.
For those arriving, I have noticed that if the watch screen turns off ADB is disconnected, so I have done all the command line process with the screen in "always active" mode.
WEAR OS APPS
I have tried some Wear OS apps without success, like Youtube Music (Vanced), Web Browser, Photo Gallery, Mail client.... All of them exit after a few seconds, except Youtube Music / Video Player for Youtube which works but requires a login module which doesn't work or is not installed / installable.
HUAWEI WEB BROWSER
I have installed the Huawei web browser from here:
Download the latest Huawei Browser APK [12.1.1.301]
Huawei Browser is a secure yet easy-to-use browser provided by Huawei. Designed for Huawei devices, Huawei Browser is dedicated to providing high-speed web browsing, convenient searching, and comprehensive privacy protection for Huawei smartphone users. Below you can download the latest Huawei...
www.huaweicentral.com
And it works quite well.
I have managed to login to my google account and from there, I access youtube, drive, gmail, etc....
Youtube plays the videos perfectly, even in full screen ( you can't exit full screen, you have to press the watch button to exit the browser).
The watch gestures to display controls, notifications, or return to the previous screen do not work. However, from the top right corner you can access the browser menu, where the back and next controls are shown to navigate between pages.
Not perfect, but useful.
Attached are some pictures and I'm still testing apps
YOUTUBE VANCED
Just installed it from apkpure and it works properly.
I can even use the watch gestures to navigate.
I cannot login into my Youtube account (and I don't know if I should do it) even with microG.apk installed.
Nothing happens.
But it works: it plays video and I can even mirror the screen via Chromecast or FireTV.
COLOR NOTE
Working perfect com.socialnmobile.dictapps.notepad.color.note
CX File Explorer
Working too, I've been trying Dropbox integration and it worked great. I can now download pictures, videos, etc... to my watch from dropbox. CX Explorer has an image, audio, and docs gallery. So... all included here. com.cxinventor.file.explorer
It does not work for me. ADB sais: cannot connect to 192.168.0.127:5555: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)
The watch model is Watch 3 Pro - 509, GLL-AL01, the firmware is the latest avialable for me: 2.0.0.179
Tried to restart the watch. Tried different Wi-Fi (for PC and watch), tried keep screen on while charging and with charger. The option in dev. menu sais: Unavialable

Where it says Unavailable it should appear the target ip. If not shown, you cannot connect via adb. Do the following:
1. Activate Flight Mode from notification bar.
2. Now, active only wifi and make sure any other connection is disabled. In the notification bar it must appear only the wifi icon next to the battery level icon.
3. Go to Developer settings and first switch on the HDC Debugging, and after that switch on the Wifi debug.
Then, it must show the IP.
Until any IP is shown there you cannot connect via adb.
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial! First app I tried to install was google play. Installed all right but won't work (I want to pay with my watch 3 pro )
Youtube vanced works great!!
TELEGRAM
Installed in my Watch 3 4G and it works fine! The keyboard is always in capital letters though :/
WHATSAPP
Installed the last apk version and it works perfect. The only issue is that by now Whatsapp allows only one account at a time, so, you have to choose whatsapp in smartphone or smartwhatch, but not both right now. Waiting for multi-account whatsapp version coming soon. I've tried clone solutions but they don't work. I can use Whatsapp Web in desktop mode via HUAWEI BROWSER (installation instructions above) but is not what I'm looking for.
PINTEREST
Works fine, not very comfortable.
ANGHAMI MUSIC
Arab music on the go.
STELLARIUM
Works fine until you swipe from left to right. Doing this the app stops moving the star map interface.
[Edit 19/10/2021]
SPOTIFY LITE
From apkpure, in APK format (not xapk), working perfect with no premium needed!
Is this the only watch having Whatsapp and free Spotify and nobody knows about it?
Wow, this is really something. Great work!
I have a couple of questions, though:
Is the firmware update affected in any way? Have you received any update since you have installed apps this way?
Would installing apkpure app allow apps to be installed from the watch?

As far as I know there's no reason it can affect updates, no system modifications are made, just pushing in the apk.
Also, I haven't tried to install apkpure app, what I do is to download the apk I want to use ADB to install them.
I've tried to install an apk downloaded right to the watch from web browser, opening it with CX Explorer, but no luck. I think ADB is the only way till now to install apps in the watch. Just use a computer and let's go
I successfully installed Browser, youtube vanced, cx file explorer. I tried installing navigation apps but none worked. Tried Waze and some other apps found on apkpure.
Apkpure app installed and started, but I could not do anything in it.
Tried installing some app for controlling the lights in my house but it gave an error when starting.
How can I install xapk files? I could only install apk. (google maps is xapk).

At the moment only simple apps can be installed, and no xapk. Apps working will be those having no external resources, no google interaction, no advanced libraries, and so on...
Keep it simple by now.

Hi All,
I cannot force my watch 3 Pro to communicate with my PC. It always returns eror code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb connect 192.168.XXX.XXX.5555
unable to connect to 192.168.XXX.XXX.5555:5555: cannot resolve host '192.168.XXX.XXX.5555' and port 5555: No such host is known. (11001).
Latter I am going try again. It seems I am doing something wrong.

I cannot force my watch 3 Pro to communicate with my PC. It always returns eror code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb connect 192.168.XXX.XXX.5555
unable to connect to 192.168.XXX.XXX.5555:5555: cannot resolve host '192.168.XXX.XXX.5555' and port 5555: No such host is known. (11001).
Latter I am going try again. It seems I am doing something wrong.
Regards'

TELEGRAM
Installed in my Watch 3 4G and it works fine! The keyboard is always in capital letters though :/
WHATSAPP
Installed the last apk version and it works perfect. The only issue is that by now Whatsapp allows only one account at a time, so, you have to choose whatsapp in smartphone or smartwhatch, but not both right now. Waiting for multi-account whatsapp version coming soon. I've tried clone solutions but they don't work. I can use Whatsapp Web in desktop mode via HUAWEI BROWSER (installation instructions above) but is not what I'm looking for.
PINTEREST
Works fine, not very comfortable.
ANGHAMI MUSIC
Arab music on the go.
STELLARIUM
Works fine until you swipe from left to right. Doing this the app stops moving the star map interface.

SPOTIFY LITE
From apkpure, in APK format (not xapk), working perfect with no premium needed!
Is this the only watch having Whatsapp and free Spotify and nobody knows about it?

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your apps, they works perferctly.
I am looking for an application that would allow me to have the alarms synchronization of my phone (OnePlus 9 Pro, so NO HUAWEI PHONE) on my watch, do you have a solution? I did not find any.
Thanks for your feedback. I think an application like this would be greatly appreciated.
I am curious about NFC apps. Like GooglePay or othe payment apps will work?

Not at all. We are waiting for Huawei Pay to be approved out of China. Only some apps with a limited use of resources will work here.
