Here is the first beta of the clockSkin Launcher based on the KW88 launcher.
So to be clear you can install this launcher on any android watch and (i use it on my D5, but it should work on others) use any D5 Clock Skin you’ll find on the forum.
Confirmed working on :
D5
Blitz
KW88
- Finow x3+
??
What should works :
clockskin engine based on 1.5 version (supporting movies and framerate…) for those who know my standalone clockskin app, look here :
settings
widget
app launcher in 2 modes (setting available)
notifications…
bluetooth connection icon.
app order preference : long click on an app icon will put it in the prefered list appearing first. [version >= 1.0.6]
What is not implemented :
delete an App
manage auto turn on when turning your wrist (implemented in 1.0.6)
How to install :
install the APK
activate the correct authorisations : SMS / PHONE / Settings
activate “Allow Peek” Notification, the app will show you the setting tab.
at first insertion, the widget may not be active. Will have to wait for a reload of the app. [Solved in 1.0.4]
powerbutton won’t turn off the screen, have to wait for auto turn off… (15s ?) [Enhenced in 1.0.5, solved in 1.0.5.2 ?]
- The weather function in the watchfaces does not appear to work, it just shows 00 Celsius.
probably a lot others
Tested on my D5 with original FW (4.4) and Honor 7 (6.0).
If you see bugs, explain well your setup (watch, android) and what’s the use case that conduct to reproduce the issue.
If you see that it works you can tell it !
Thanks to Jesus (the developper) for his help on this dev.
ricktop, I think you know kw88 can accept custom faces installed by an apk (I just build some ones).
But this apk only accept a simple template with analog clock and date… can you see any way to include digital clocks, battery meter, steps…?
Not sure to understand, the clockskin engine used on D5 can show battery level, steps, weather.
But what i can say is that a clock APK of the KW88 is not supported on this engine.
When I flip/shake the phone screen switches on!
Even at rest, from time to time (every minute I think) the screen switches on… I think is a notification process scheduler…
At home screen, when I make the gesture down does not appear weather but google now icons.

Wow, i never saw that the screen was turning on on my Honor 7… I will check.
For the widget, there’s a + button to add 1 to 10 after the google icons…

For the widget I just put an weather app and works, but no way to erase google icons and put weather app first?
Great job! Thanks

Yes, i've put google first, for the moment it stays like this.
There's an issue with the persistency, so widgets will not be restored after a watch reboot....
Byt the way, i've tested and not succeeded in making the screen wake on my watch or phone... strange.
Hey pretty nice on my Blitz ! Thanks.
Does not work on my X3 Plus however.
Not sure how to delete widgets once added, and my “flip to wake” is working.
Edit: Disregard he Widget comment, I just read the above about rebooting.

To delete à widget just do a long click and a popup will show.

Thanks yes that seems to work after a reboot.
The notifications have started freaking out, like continual beeps/buzzes and a very brief
notification flash, then it reports "no notifications". Hmm, have to uninstall till I get home
with a beer!
OK beer in hand…I’ve disabled Notification Access for “Watch” using Settings Search =>Sound=>Notification=>Notification Access
and only left WatchClockSkin checked and it’s now issuing notifications as it should.
Fantastic to be able to use all those nice faces on the Blitz.

Looks good! The widgets are not touchable. I can add them but I can not use them. For exmple, the Helth widget with the oedometer and the heart rate does not open the actual app when I press on it. I installed it on my No.1 D5 watch and when I am on the Home screen and I press the powerbutton the screen wont go off. The weather function in the watchfaces soe not appear to work, it just shows 00 Celsius.
Thanks foy your work!
Keep developing this app!!!
I would like to review it for you.
Do you have any plans to support watchmaker file extension .watch (zip file) in the Clockskin engine? It would be fantastic, because it has a staggering amount of ready-made watchfaces.
Congratulations on the fantastic work!

Can you precise why it's not working on X3+ ? Does it install and crash or is the installation refused ?
Thanks

Yes it's a known bug, you need to refresh the launcher for this to work. For example, go to settings and launch the account management. Then push the power button to go back to the launcher, it should relaunch and work.
I will add the powerbutton won't turn off the screen on the bug list. Thanks for testing.
