Very strange. I was sure, that all my three skins were ok under 1.x and 2.0.x. Well, the only thing I can do is to take another 3-4 skins and play with them. Will do that and report. UPD. Nope, I deleted these three skins and uploaded three new skins. Restart. I could change the skin only one or two times, after that I've got the same problem - I change the skin, but no reaction, it remains the same. Well, I didn't reinstall the launcher, but I suppose, it's not the point. To be sure: here the three new skins I've tested. 

i just downloaded the tagheuer-formula1.rar (495.31 KB). uncompressed it and transfered it over to the watch. black/blank. looked at the file and there .img* hidden? removed the . from infront of the filenames and edited the xml to correspond with the new name. transfered the new files over and its showing up now. poked it a few times, restarted the watch seems to be working fine.

Thx for your test, cinitek32, but it doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem. I've just tested the same - I have renamed all .img*.* in img*.* and adjusted the respective names in the xml. the same result: I can change the skin once or twice, that's it. And furthermore there were no .img*.* filenames in my previouos "collection" (breitling/tissot).

From the looks of it it’s not the skin itself but rather some ā€œoverloadā€ of cocos library.
I’ve got .trace file from todays morning and another one like an hour ago. They are identical and both point to:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered: com.ricktop.ClockSkinCoco.QuickSettingsSystemConfigFragment$2@229ef682

android.app.LoadedApk.forgetReceiverDispatcher(LoadedApk.java:774)

android.app.ContextImpl.unregisterReceiver(ContextImpl.java:1787)

android.content.ContextWrapper.unregisterReceiver(ContextWrapper.java:511)

[…]

android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity.onDestroy(FragmentActivity.java:390)

com.ricktop.ClockSkinCoco.MainActivity.onDestroy(MainActivity.java:515)

I just guess that above refers to fragment that displays flight mode, bluetooth, wifi etc switches (same thing was in one of yours .trace yawa ) but it all looks like launcher got signal/forced to exit and fails to do so cleanly (this is just pure assumption based on logic only)


More or less about the time I got that last one .trace file my KW88 asked me what I want to use as default launcher. I’m not sure but few minutes before I might turn on data transfer (or wifi)

Yet another null pointer exception for you, ricktop

Ā And many thx, nameless, for your investigations, it sounds very plausible!Ā 

I’ve not been here these days and i’ve been injured… but i have reproduced the situation. Seems to be happening on the released version and not on my test version. That would mean that the released cocos library is not the same as the debug library… I will try to confirm and give a new version soon. Thanks for your patience.

ricktop great news :blush: and I think we all do understand and respect that you do that excellent work in your spare time :blush:
Seems like bad karma finally got me too :wink: I’m tryingt o recover my watch from weird bootloop… Oh well… Fingers crossed :blush:
Debug version might contain f.ex. some assertions that like keep things in order and that’s why your test version works ok. I’ve seen that way often that I’d ever wanted :wink:
Good luck and thx for all your work

Hi guys, just bought a LEM5 and I am a nooby. The question i’ve got is will this launcher be fine with my watch as the screen size is the same as K88 so i don’t think there will be an issue but still wanted to be sure before i downloaded it.

Thanks

I tried the latest (2.1) version of the launcher, and found some bugs (on Domino DM368 smartwatch):

  1. When I set the icons to round layout, those does not appears in the center of the display.
  2. When I delete a file with the File Manager, a chinese text comes out.
  3. The down arrow in the notification page is too small, hard to touch it.
  4. Smaller texts on the notification page and the upper page where the date, the time, and the battery info appears.

Otherwise the application is a good work, keep it up!

Absolutely OK, no drain or something.

Using a clean install of 2.1 on my I3, I’ve experienced a few oddities:

  1. The watchface seems to lock up and during that time the battery drains quickly. I turn off the display and turn it back on and then the watchface seems to come back to life. I’ve restarted my watch now to see if this continues.

  2. I put on a new watchface www.watchawear.com/watches/watch-faces/download/2-watch-faces/8814-radar.html and it seems to work well, except only the foreground color changes, ie. the radar sweep and inner indicators. The numbers on the dial and the outer ring remain greeen. Not sure if this is an issue with the watchface itself or due to the way that the clockskin works with it. Can anybody else see if it exhibits the same behavior? Unfortunately I never tried it with previous versions so I’m unsure if it ever worked properly.

Same here.

After looking at watch.xml file I think that this might be proper behavior (parts that are responsible for changing color have display=ā€œnā€ attribute which, according to watchmaker wiki, shoud not display this element). I might be wrong of course (those xml files aren’t all that readable and I don’t know that much about all the attributes).

Even without those colorchanges it’s pretty neat watchface tho

I think it's there so that wrist gesture doesn't drain battery. After 3sec launcher forces screen locking to turn off display.

nameless, it is same for me. Wrist gesture works normal even when launcher is not activated as administrator. Also when it’s not administrator I can manipulate launcher easier, and if you remember about my problems with changing skins after restart, now i need to force stop launcher, and activate it again and after that changing skins works normal, and I think that widgets are back to their place.

So let me explain step by step, maybe we will find sollution for my problems and bugs this way. Note: I use 2.0.10 version.

  1. I clean install launcher, and .watch and clockskins works without problem. There are no problems with changing skins. I put widgets also.
  2. The watch goes off after battery discharge (or I deliberately reboot watch), and when it’s up again I can’t change skins, and widgets are not on their place.
  3. I go to Settings -> Uninstall Application and then Force Stop WatchClockSkin. Then I press power button, watch ask me which launcher I want to use, I chose WatchClockSkin, and after that everything is ok. I can change skins, and widgets are on their place again.

P.s. I have one more problem. When battery goes to 20% watch turns off. Like it’s not good calibrated.

The same for me including the battery issue → it seems that the battery status is not updating correctly, both in 2.0.10 and 2.1

Regarding 1-3: It’s the same behavior I have already described. But I’m not sure that the restart / reinstall is ā€œhealingā€ the app. It seems that the launcher is either losing its permissions while running or it’s running into another ā€œtroubleā€ with register/unregister of some events or smth like that - see posts above. But there is a hope now, because Eric has found out smth regadring the frameworl version, as I undeerstood. So let’s wait for him, I guess he will bring a new version soon

I’d suggest you to install 2.1 version. Probably won’t solve all bugs but maybe some of them Don’t know if you seen it but Eric was able to recreate some (if not all) of those problems and narrow them down to non-debug version of cocos library (apparently debug version is doing just fine. He is still investigating it.
Also it’s probably easier for Eric when bugreports regard current version (he doesn’t need to backtrack in source code version too much).

About battery I think it tries to enter power saving mode which is not supported by Eric’s launcher. It displays bright white screen instead and that can drain battery pretty fast
