Still enjoying your launcher, Rick.. watch file runs well now in your latest update (2.5) on my watch..

Can i have a request, Rick… Would you add a feature so we could choose how to change faces… i sometimes double tap the screen accidentally…

If you could add a long press 3s, that would be awesome…

Sorry for my bad english…

Thanks in advance, Rick… d best


There’s already the long press, problem is with some .watch faces that will interact, preventing the long press to work. Double tap is maybe too sensible but i consider a minor issue…

Hi Rick, thank you for your work. 1. Is there a way to remove the background image on the notifications screen? I would like to leave it black. 2. Do you have plans to implement the apps menu with zoom list? 3. Any idea if I can customise the functions of the hardware buttons without rooting?

1. Just select the high contrast notification mode on the launcher. 2. What are you talking about ? picture please ? 3. Don't know, but this can be asked on another thread. I have not played with that.

keep up the really nice work! (on Finow X5 Air i can’t access PlayStore search box…)

it doesn’t install on amazfit pace

I would like to try again this launcher. I’ve visited this url :

www.watchfaceup.com/android.php?page=5

in order to find some watch faces to install with the launcher but I’ve to download every single face every time, I cannot find a sort of “collection”. It exists? In order to download all the faces and put them totally inside the watch…

I have an AllCall W1 and I can’t get watchface files to render in Fahrenheit. I set the skin prefs to Austin and the Celsius to Fahrenheit but all watch faces still render in Celsius. Do you have any ideas? I am running v2.5.

Does the launcher support sunrise and sunset such as this:  string.sub(’{wsr}’,1,1)*30

We don’t do collection here, use our G+ community for faces, watch our YT channel for tutorial and that’s it.

If your location weather is updated, yes this should work.

My weather location is being updated but the two small dials on the right for sunrise and sunset stay at the 12 o'clock position all the time.  My location is Phoenix, US.  My watch is a Finow X5+

The good code for this type of rotation: {wsrp}*180 for sunrise hand and {wssp}*180 for sunset hand

That's interesting because this face works perfectly on WatchMaker but the sunrise and sunset hands are stuck at 12 using Rick's launcher.  Here's the faced loaded in Desktop Watchmaker editor.  I'll modify the code with the snippet from your post and see what happens.

I modified the code with your snippets but the hands still stay stuck at the 12 o’clock position.

The code is good, what you earlier posted, that working too.

Yes, I set the watch to 24-hour mode and rebooted but still no change.

It must be something specific to my X5+ then.  I've updated the weather and my location is working in the weather app and also in Rick's launcher under the skin prefs....so I'm at a loss at the moment.

I tried another face with the sunrise and sunset times displayed digitally.  There's definitely something wrong as this is what I get with the attached face file.  It shows sunset at 17:48 and I can't make out exactly what it says for sunrise, but it looks like 7:31 with an extra trailing 0.

I tried this face and the sunrise and sunset times are accurate.  I’ve also tried several other digital faces and they all show the accurate sunset and sunrise.  I only have problems with faces that display those times as analogs.

I’ve found another analog sunset/sunrise face that works fine and uses ({wsrp}*360)  and  ({wssp}*360) for the hands.  This leads me to believe there may be a problem with how Rick’s launcher handles string.sub.  The AntoineMartineAstronomique face uses the following to move one of the hands for sunset: string.sub(’{wss}’,1,2)*30  while the face below which is working fine uses ({wsrp}*360) and ({wssp}*360).
