Hi All.
Edit: I have seen your video soniasophie9697 - I understand the mechanics of unzipping files to that directory, and thank you! :-) My question is more conceptual regarding what kinds of formats will “work” - since they all seem like they are an archive of one kind or another.
I posted this on the G+ community, but was told it’s not for this sort of discussion, so…
Can someone give me a general overview of what I need to know regarding watchfaces?
I’ve just ordered an allcall w1 after quite a bit of time spent researching, which as I understand it means KW88 compatibility.
It probably won’t be here for about a month, but in the meantime I’m enoying checking out potential watchfaces.
There seem to be a bunch of different types and ways to go about this.
I saw from videos that there is an interface to directly download new watch faces on the watch. Where are these coming from?
Then there is : www.watchfaceup.com/ I’m guessing that I want the “Android” watch faces from there? Or are those for android wear? Can I use the VXP watch faces, or are those only for NO.1 / mediatek watches? If I can use VXP watch faces, are there pros/cons to those?
And I generally see that if I get watch faces in a .zip archive, I can just extract them to a particular directory (clockskin? ClockSkin? I’ve heard both) and they should be visible on my watch - so that’s great, but any gotchas there?
Now I also see that there are .apk watch faces available. Are these only for android wear? I think not because watchawear.com/ lists the apk watch faces as being specifically for the KW88. But, do I just install them like any .apk? Then they will be available to choose in just the same way as a watch face installed any other way? Sadly, there don’t seem to be very many of them there in apk format, which leads me to my next question - And lastly, the same site has watch faces for the “X and X+” family of watches - so is it that I can’t use those, or that they are not optimal for some reason?
Sorry for all the questions, but you get the idea - please can someone give me the basic info I need to understand what my options are (and are not) for watch faces? Also if there is any other good place to check them out that I did not mention.
Thanks!
