Yes i’ve not posted it here yet. In fact i was curious to know if someone would complain.  :wink:
Also i’ll do it soon with a 2.4.2 update… Still chasing bugs. 
For now, most of the bugs are on Android 6, 7 and 8… Don’t know why so much phones are using this launcher… 

Hi Ricktop,

I would be happy if the widget screens are fixed.
Everytime when I reboot the watch and use more then 1 widget it scrambled all the widgets.
And sometime I only see a small white circle in the middle.
Everytime I have to delete them all and make them again to use it.
If this fixed the entire launcher is for me perfect, thanks for all the work you put in to this.

You should precise the version you use. Try last one to see if corrected.

New version 2.4.2 published.
As said a lot of rework, meaning nearly every part has been touched in the hope of solving issues…
Also new round app list has been implemented (like the new watches launcher have), but as this view needs Android 6 to work, the Android FW have been tweaked by constructors. As a result this feature will work only on the watches where this is supported in the official launcher (or if Android >= 6).
Also i noticed that a lot of issues are seen on Android version > 6 (7, 8, …), i don’t know why my launcher is used on such devices but i recall that if you want to see skins on your phone, just use the Wallpaper i created, it’s much better for that use (look in GooglePlay).

Just try’d it with the latest version 2.4.2 and the same problem, the first widget shows correct and the second (after reboot) I only see a small white circle in the center.

In the round app list (Les 1) on a lot of icons (as maps, calendar, etc..) it shows a white circle as background but not with all the icons as clock, google and healt. Is this a bug?

Looks like you’ve tweaked the font handling a bit in 2.4.2. The fonts on some of my watch faces now look much better than they did under the previous version. On the previous version some fonts looked to be a little too large or possibly the wrong font. Things just keep getting better. Thanks for all your hard work!

Hi Ricktop with this 2.4.2 update the .watch files have the sound but it still does not open the Watch Droid Assistant from the applications box. With the 2.3.5 it works correctly.

Zeblaze Thor. Firmware Version - Z10-KY_HFP-BT-20171122

Extremely progressive update 2.4.2! Thank You
A lot of improvements and gain in stability
Thank You Eric

If this is a bug fix so that a widget disapear after reboot is solved than It didn't worked. I install the latest 2.4.3 version make 2 widgets and reboot the watch, the first widget is ok and the second widget is gone and is now black with only a small white circle in the center on the screen. My watch is a Lemfo LES 1

Hey,
Just bought KW88 and Installed the Latest Universal Launcher, Turned On\Off.
Everything is OK beside that the Pulse Face\ClockSkin or any other clock skin I have appears to be on the bottom left side of the screen.
If I change the view to square then the clock appears in the center bounded by the square view and not appear full screen.
If I change it to Full View then I have this problem.
Any suggestion how to solve it?
Thanks

Tried to Zoom the Clock (scaling factor) in both modes - when the clock is defined to full view and square\small view – nothing helped…


Solved - Prior to installing the launcher from the play store - I changed the mode to full view (not square) and only than installed the launcher, after installation is done, selected always.
Works!

It not happens all the time sometimes I have reboot my watch 3 times before it happens. It happens to all the widgets I've tested also stock Android as the music player widget. This is how it looks when the widget doesn't work anymore, after that the widget will never work again and the only thing I can do is to delete it and make it again. The small "Z" you seeing is not from the widget but from the app launcher zone (it has nothing to do with the widget) EDIT: after deleting all the widget accept the healt widget (so the healt widget is the only widget) on my watch after a reboot the healt widget is also gone and see only the black screen with the white circle in the center. And after that reboot there are two widgets also one I delete before rebooting, there is defently something strange going on with the widgets in this launcher.

You may try the 2.4.4 version.

By the way, this new version 2.4.x introduce the multi langage feature, for the moment i have only french/hungarian and english. If you're interested in translating to your langage you can update the attached file and send it back to me, indicating your langage two letter code (i.e. french is FR). Try to keep the string length as it is in english (less or equal).

In the file you have lines looking like this :
Location :

don’t touch the left side, but replace the text in red like this :
Lieu :

Unfortunately the same problem with version 2.4.4

EDIT: It looks like Meta widget screwd up your widget interface, this one is not always the on which get black with a white circle in the center but if I not used it it looks like it keeps working ('till now)
This is the widget if you want to test it play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
