[GUIDE] Install APK on your Moto 360 topic

This is a basic guide for those who do not know how to install and uninstall APKs on your Moto 360 without an usb cable.

Prerequisites:

1. ADB drivers on your PC


2. Minimal ADB and Fastboot or all Google SDK


3. PC and Moto 360??

Let's start:

Connect the watch to your PC:

1. On your Moto 360 go in settings > developer options* > Turn on ADB Debug and Bluetooth debug


2. On your phone go in settings > developer options* and enable "USB Debug"

3. Connect your phone on your PC

4.In the android wear app go in settings (at the bottom) and enable "Bluetooth Debug"
You will see: Host: Disconnected Target: Connected


5. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot in your PC and type:

HTML Code:

---

adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:4444

---

Now on your phone the voice "Disconnected" on the Host voice should be changed to "Connected"


Now your Moto 360 it's connect to your PC :)

*If you don't have "developer options" go on "info" and tap 7 times on "build number"

Install an APK:

Warning: Now every command for your watch must be in the following way:

HTML Code:

---

adb -s localhost:4444 <command>

---

(Without "<" and ">")

1. Procured the APK file

2. Place the APK file in the installation directory of "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"

3.In "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" type:

HTML Code:

---

adb -s localhost:4444 install nameoftheapk.apk

---

So if my apk name is "Game" you must type:

HTML Code:

---

adb -s localhost:4444 install game.apk

---

4. Wait patiently this will take a long time depending on the size of the file (About 5 minutes for 10mb file)

5. If the word "success" appears everything has been successful.

Uninstall an APK:
Warning: Now every command for your watch must be in the following way:

HTML Code:

---

adb -s localhost:4444 <command>

(Without "<" and ">")

1. For uninstall an apk su must know the package name, usually "com.nameofthedeveloper.nameoftheapp"
For a list of the app installed on your watch type:

HTML Code:

---

adb -s localhost:4444 shell pm list packages –f

---

Not always work, but if it works you will see a list of package name. Installed app stay on "data/app/"

For example this is the game "Don't tap the white tile" and the package name is at the end: "com.umonistudio.tile"

2. Now that you say the package name on "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" type:

HTML Code:

---

adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall com.example.example

---

In case of that game:

HTML Code:

---

adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall com.umonistudio.tile

---

3.If the word "success" appears everything has been successful and the app is uninstalled properly.
