Connect to wifi without Phone

If you have the android wear watch but it is not conneccted to your phone or your phone is not nearnby and you stillwant to connecct to a new wifi network not saved in the watch then there are 2 ways to do it.

The Hard way
1. Edit the wifi supplicant config file located in /data/misc/wifi
As we know to go to this location, root access is required so first watch should be rooted.
here is a thread for it. http://ift.tt/297xhri
Also you would require something like a root explorer or es explorer to edit the file and add password for the wifi. Also a keyboard to type. lol. App called minnum keyboard must be downloaded and setup properly. When everything is setup. just edit the file and add the password and connect to wifi

The easy way
2. download an apk called swift wifi. http://ift.tt/290ucpl
use adb to connect to watch and install using "adb install appname.apk"
after installed, open the app and connect to wifi. (you will still need minnum keyboard to enter password)
