Google play dropped support for AW1.5

Solved

Google play has dropped support for AW1.5 so older smartwatches like Sony smartwatch 3 cannot install Locus map watch from Google play anymore.

Are there any instructions for a workaround such as sideloading the apk to an AW1.5 watch via ADB?

Hello,

you can download the APKs here: http://bit.ly/lmVersions
Add-ons > Wear ... or older version in the archive

It should be possible to install it with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freepoc.wearinstaller (info http://freepoc.org/wear-installer-help-page/)

Hi,

There are two APKs in the 1.5.3 folder on Google Drive (device-release.apk and wear-release.apk). Can you tell me what is the difference between them and which one is suitable to sideload to AW1.5?

Thanks H.

Hello,

you have to install both of them—one version installed in the device (phone) and one in the wear (watches).

Thanks Zdenek, I understand now. I have already installed LM Watch on my phone from Google Play so I just need to sideload the wear APK from Google Drive onto my SWR50 watch.

For information, Freepoc Wear Installer only works with WearOS 2 & 3, not with AW1. I will try Easy Fire Tools or ADB from a PC.

Cheers H.
