Sorting apps is not possible in stock launcher. However, the Universal Launcher offers this possibility.

Hello

Following the advices of reducing the watch temperature I found that using it for games but without charging it at the same time keeps temperatures pretty low, but there is o


ne thing that I have not figured out and its a message “Bypass” that appears whenever I press a button on my bluetooth controller just as the image being shown, it is to note that if i dont press nothing the message dissapears after a few seconds

Thank you! So you mean ClockSkinCoco 3.6.1? Also is there any way to make something like Double Press Power Button to run some specific app (Flashlight or Camera)?

Yes, there is a thread about Universal launcher 3 here:
-Universal Launcher [Ver. 3.x and above]

Yes this version is okj.

Button mapper schould work for your watch.

I tried it but it works only when the app is running as soon as i press Power Button it stopping working and if i open it again i need to give access to everything (accessibility etc) again :confused:

You have to disable this app in battery saver.

I think it may be worth noting that these are watches - not intended for gaming, or using as a little PC.
The life of your device will be significantly reduced by doing these things.
The components are not selected for their ability to stand up to this kind of use.

This message is for all android watch users.
Don’t be upset when your screen suddenly becomes a mess or the heat stress causes other damage if used in this way.
It may not cause a thermal shutdown, (seeming to be ok) but prolonged use like this will definitely reduce the life of the watch and most likely the screen will be the first item to become defective.

Just a general warning - of course - it’s up to you :+1:

Thank you pablo, I’m aware of this situation with heat and I have measured the temperature while only charging and while playing small games, and it heats much less while playing games from time to time than only charging, so I’m confident no profound damage is being made, but thanks again for the advice.

On the other hand maybe you know how to disable or even how to search for that strange “bypass” message that appears whenever I press a button on my bluetooth controller? I don’t get this message on any other android device I own, so I’m clueless

I found what causing the issue, when screen is OFF you can not map keys (Something with Android Security) Button Mapper still allows this with ADB but only to use Volume Keys (which Optimus 2 doesn’t have) so its basically useless for instant actions like toggle Flashlight or open Camera with Back or Power buttons :confused:

My first responce on your app question of the O2 is…you can learn to program some pretty awesome watch faces here that are gifted to us by the talented watch face designers of this forum which allow you easy access to all of your most important apps in your watch right from your Watch Face. I choose to not use the Universal Launcher …I am on the Stock Launcher and I use the Button Mapper app to give me quick back button access to My App Drawer app that puts all your apps alphabetized on your Watch Face when you need to find one quickly. Do not let your optimization settings app turn off the button mapper or my app drawer or you will lose access to anything you programed them to do for you i.e. flashlight you immediate access to the camera flash as your flash light on your optimus2. i use the watch faces that give options to program them to quick touch to my phone dialer, camera, google assistant, music and voice recorder. remember your google assistant will open up. most all apps you have in the large rom of the o2 with a simple command of hey google. Getting your Optimus 2. to do anything you need it to do for you will take patience.trial and error… and advise of others who have problem solving skill with it which I found here in this forum. We are talking about Asian watches here that don’t always get along well with Google Play protect and Google rules… You may need to side load and find work arounds to make it the perfect do everything gadget but it can and mine does thanks to all the help I got here with it. .note. I don’t get what the problem is your are saying with Button Mapper and the screen off ? I’ve been using Button Mapper to give me easy access to my flashlight on my wrist since my first hours of having the Optimus 2. I need access to my flashlight frequently which is a main reason I bought this watch. so not sure how to help you with the screen off problem on yours… Did you try your lift to wake setting on that ? I don’t use lift to wake on mine because it’s more of a pain and gimmick to me than a help but it seems that if you have your screen turn on automatically for your use of Button Mapper might be a solution. ?? Also Button Mapper gives you access to all your accessibility settings that Kospet chopped off.

HaHa ! And I thought I was bad watching Netflix and movie apps on my O2 and accepting credit cards in my shop on it … :grin: Well on the bright side at least a Full Android may be a little more replaceable for some than the other famous brand of tethered watches

Watch this

To pair with your phone ( android ) you need to install " watchdroid " on watch and phone . You will find info on this in this forum and the playstore

When installed on watch read this so it works correctly

That’s fine…
Your use case is fairly normal.
I was referring to the more aggressive use of the watch for viewing long movies or gaming.
Unfortunately the screens and some other components, are just not up to that usage and will probably degrade far quicker than if it was used as (dare I say it) a Smartwatch :sweat_smile:

Yes, I think playing COD or Witcher may be quite difficult on a small watch screen. And some FA watches are on Android 7 or even 9 with not enough ram rom or processor speed.
