Rooted Phone + Galaxy Watch? (lemmy.world)

I am finally back to having a rooted phone after a decade! Feels nice to have control over my phone again.

The only thing left to get working again for me is the Samsung Wear connection to my Watch6.
I can get pretty far in the setup, but it eventually says it can't connect.

I tried the Magisk module GoogleSpoofForWear and even edited my .prop file, no luck! Safetynet passes and playintegrity is intact.

Followed every guide I could find, so reaching out to you guys for help! anyone get their watch working on a rooted phone? (android 14)

Edit "Solution": I was able to get it to work after fully resetting my watch. I kept the app magisk hidden but not sure if it was necessary... I didn't want to have to do that but at least it works now!

Next time you can save yourself a reset by using adb.

connect to watch over adb (usb or wireless)
run adb shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot"
wait a few minutes (might not be necessary, but I found it increases success rate)
run adb shell "am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE"
pair new device in companion app (I reset the app for good measure, don't know if it's needed)

Also on my device (oppo watch), play integrity doesn't seem to matter. Some of the time I'm only passing basic and watch works perfectly.

thanks! I'll remember this and hopefully it helps others in the same boat that search in the future
