Thanks.  Where can one find WatchFace Designer?  I did a Google search for it but only come up with an Android app with a similar name.

In these very forums: /thread/1292/watchface-designer

Thanks.  I'll check it out.

I've found another bug. This one is related to {ddw0}. In WatchMaker, {ddw0} returns a 0 for Sunday, a 1 for Monday, and so on all the way to Saturday which is day 6. In the Universal Launcher, the attached watch face is always one day ahead of the correct weekday.  So it appears that {ddw0) starts counting at 1 in the Universal Launcher.

EDIT:  After further checking and comparing the face on WatchMaker vs Universal Launcher, it appears that the bug is actually in text_ring, not in {ddw0}.  

Here’s a download link to the watch face in question:  Dark Hero Legend II


2.5.2 published ; it solves this issue, adding also international support for this ring.

2.5.2 also introduce new clockskin features :

  • new rotation for day number (1-31)
  • new rotation movement type quartz, elastic, … 
    Those new features are done also in the wonderful Watch Face Designer app by Marco to be published soon

I like the Universal launcher very much! The only problem i encounter with mij new DM368 Plus is that i’m unable to change te clocksin.

Many thanks for this release! BTW, I don’t know whether you knew that, but I saw that another minor bug was fixed in this version: in the previous release(s) I should always change the current watch face to another one after restart of my watch, because some watch faces came “frozen” after reboot. Now it works again for me!

The solution is on the first page of this lengthy thread where you will find the instructions for the launcher.  Look under General Features.

If tried all steps but I’m still not able to change the watchface…

Unfortunately after version 2.4.6 which had this moon calendar bug, no one version after it, including latest 2.5.2 can make venom and assault skins working again. There is a mess with the string layout.

P.S. The watch is IQI I4 Pro

I’ve found a discrepancy in the moon phase {wmp} value.  It appears to be off by 1.  The current moon phase is 5, or full:

But currently the launcher is showing this clip (6) as the current phase:

1120.png
Here’s the watch face file in question.  This bug also appears in my other faces that use {wmp} and a 3x3 matrix of moon clips.

Place your .watch files in a folder named ClockSkin on the watch.  Once you've installed the launcher and see the pulsing watch face, double-tap the screen to change the face.  It's in the instructions of the first post to this thread.

I think it's ok, Full moon was on 31/01, today's moon calculation gives 5.8 value which is rounded to 6.

OK.  That make sense.  The rounding difference between WatchMaker and your launcher just means that there are a few hours difference between the frames and the difference isn't great enough for me to worry about after doing some more checking.

On Google Play, it’s actually a pian to read Italian automatic translation of the app’s title!! 

  (… besides the fact that it is incomprehensible) 

Look :

It translates “round” as “turn” (just as a “workshift” for example xD) and Watch as “Guarda” that means “see”, “observe” (the same meaning of “Watch the television”, for instance  )
If you want, you may add the italian section on Google play, and insert as title : “Un launcher completo per il vostro Smartwatch Android” 

While the description should be: 
"Questo launcher permette di usare i temi dei formati “clockskin” del tuo smartwatch Android puro (non Android Wear) e supporta parzialmente anche il formato “watchmaker”.

Puoi trovare i dettagli completi nel forum di supporto. http : //roundandroidwatches… (etc,)

Ricordati di visitare anche la Community Round Android Smartwatches per la creazione e la condivisione dei “clockskin”. https : //plus.google.com/communitie… (etc.) "

:wink:

Best,

Thanks, i will put that. :grinning::+1:

2.5.3 published : correction of clockskin direction in day rotation and watchmaker issue with non standard ascii.

Yesterday I installed your launcher on my Finow X5+.
Because I am watch faces developer I want to be as compatible with other users as it is possible. It is why I installed your launcher after one year of using stock launcher.
But I was wrong! I regret now that I haven’t done it before… With this compatibility with WatchMaker we have access to thousands multi-screens touchable watch faces!
And this new features - day rotation and new hands movements are amazing and they finaly convinced me to change the launcher.
I am professional software developer (Delphi for PC) so I know how hard was your work and I have great respect for your effort. In Poland we would say that your launcher is “zajeb****”

It is a little bad word - Polish members will understand But I can’t find better word to describe your work. Your and Marco Ferreira’s work of course - his Watch Faces Designer is also indescribable.

By the way I can give you a new challenge. In my company we count time in weeks. It could be nice to have week number rotation and week number array feature. Is it possible?
I know - it isn’t so easy - there is ISO standard for it where week is started from Monday and it can be 52 and sometimes 53 weeks in the year (there is a formula for it).
But some countries use Sunday as the beginning of the week…
Could you consider adding this feature?

Hi all . When using erics launcher how do i close apps running in background ? Thanks

Yse it could be done, at least the same way as in watchmaker, but i don’t know if it’s a priority feature, maybe the one interested in this could vote with “like” on this post ?

The same way as your watch does it, it's not integrated in the launcher. In some of my watches it's the usual long press button menu...

Thankyou . Appreciated
