    Never knew wearOS watches came with bloatware as well, awesome video man 🔥

    Did you feel better performances after deleting or just after changing animation settings ?

  • @colebishop955
    @colebishop955 4 роки тому +1

    I wanted to try this on my misfit vapor x watch since they are now owned by fossil but it keeps saying," '$' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I don't know if thats just cause it's not technically a fossil watch or what.

    Was there any difference/improvement noticable to battery/performance after doing this?

    • @_AlteredTech
      @_AlteredTech  4 роки тому +2

      Great question. Battery life has improved with the latest update. This did not have a huge impact and overall the hardware just isn't enough to run wear os smoothly like an Apple watch. Changing the animation speeds did improve the experience though.

    Great video, thanks.
    Couple of things. The commands you tried on your Mac that didn't appear to work - you may want to look around on your Mac's disc to see if the commands created some files for you. The "> enabled_packages.txt" part of the command is unix speak for "send the output of this command to a file called "enabled_packages.txt" Search your Mac's disc for a file called "enabled_packages.txt" (both commands worked fine on my Mac)
    Secondly in the video you mention having to "Type darter:/" It isn't actually necessary to _type_ this. "darter" is just the *name* of the hardware (the Fossil Sport iirc) which is displayed when you connect to the watch. It's similar to showing the hostname of the system you're connecting to, in the unix / Linux world.

    Anyone having the game issue i have:
    It connects to the phone perfectly. But it turns off minutes after. If i receive a call, start a workout or basically anything. It will turn off and only bank on if i plug the charger.
    Btw... Battery would still 90+%
    It's not battery is software.
    Any help?
    Ps.: i did hard reset
