  1. that’s not normal. You need to choose always only one time. Or something is killing the app as @G1NT0N1C is suggesting.
  2. if you swipe too fast, you will trigger the back function that will close the skin select window.

  1. Indeed, the upgrade had removed WatchClockSkin from background cleaner. Also it was no longer excluded from battery optimization…
    Does it need both ?

Yes a launcher needs not to be killed.

Are there other settings/permissions we need to give it in the OS ? Will every upgrade remove these permissions ?

Of course there is the Startapp, where it needs to be default. Any other ?

14

No, all needed permission are required at startup only once. The issue here is that the new OS versions automatically remove the app from the battery cleaner protection when updating… It looks more like an OS bug.

Is there a way to connect watchmaker to universal launcher .I have kospet optimus pro and it is not connecting

16

No, there’s no connection between both.

17

But it doesn’t ask me, so this is why I am asking what to manually set or make sure that they are set. But if is those mentioned in my post above, I’ve got them :ok_hand:

Rebooting the launcher fixed the widget issue for me. I already had changes made in battery optimization, battery saver and background cleaner.

But it did not fix the watch face loading issues. It will still not allow me to scroll past 10 watch faces. On the 11th face, no matter which face I put there, it blacks out and goes back to the home face screen.

Could this be a RAM issue ? Which watch do you have ?
I see I have had a bit much fun on my Prime, I’ve got 33 watch faces, without that scrolling past nr. 10 issue…

I have the 32/3 Prime (Average memory use for WatchClockSkin is 119 Mbs.) I have about 25 watch faces. With UL 3.0 I had no problem scrolling and loading any of them. This just popped up with 3.1.

It has me baffled!

21

The skin selection is the same between both version. You can rollback to 3.0, but it should work the same.
I’ve trsted on more than 2000 skins and it works fine.

Thank you Eric for all of your help. I figured it out and it was my error!

I had left several zip files in the clockskin folder containing a sub directory. I had not yet rezipped them to the main directory.

In 3.0 you could scroll past them (although they would not load), but in 3.1 scrolling past them crashes clockskin. You must pre-cache the .zip data and thus the quicker loadtime?

All is well now!!!

Thanks for a great build.

23

Nothing has changed here, only the skin loading is changed. I would be interested to reproduce this problem on my side.

24

I remember that issue everytime I had a sim card inserted; the widgets would be blank

25

Funny enough i have had this problem randomly and now i cannot reproduce the problem anymore ?

Hi,
I installed Universal Launcher just now from play store. I am not able to go full screen. I tried scaling as well but it didn’t work. Please help. You can check the attached video for the issue.

27

Already responded 100 times… You have to reboot after going into round mode.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your help. It worked.

I had a couple of more questions.

  1. In the stock launcher, even if I am in square mode, the watch face appears round. Just the apps go square. Do we have any such settings in UL?
  2. I am unable to edit the main location. Has it been disabled?

  1. No. No mask is available.
  2. It’s still the only way to set location, just follow the YT tutorial.
