Universal Launcher [Ver. 3.x and above]

Seems ok with the new update.

For text ring layers disappearing, it was a bad old memory that made me avoid them.
But I think it has been fixed a long time ago because it works well in my last watchface.

The skin reload problem was that I had to do the reload twice to get the changes accepted.
And it seemed to come with you first 3.4.7 update so it is perhaps fixed in the new one.
I will keep an eye on this behavior in future changes in my skin(s) and I’ll tell you if it persists.

I have a(nother) thing that has been bugging me for some time, it seems to be specific to the Prime 2.
On the Prime with the same UL 3.4.7 version it seems to be Ok.

The steps count jumps from time to time to very high values, typically around 7 thousands steps!

I had to implement this code to control this erratic behavior :

–[[
function force_reset_steps()
var_s_steps = 0
var_syst_steps = {ssc}
var_prev_syst_steps = {ssc}
end

function force_recall_steps()
var_s_steps = {ssc}
var_syst_steps = {ssc}
var_prev_syst_steps = {ssc}
end

function on_second(h,m,s)
var_syst_steps = {ssc}
var_steps_inc = var_syst_steps - var_prev_syst_steps

if var_steps_inc < 2000 and var_steps_inc > 0 then
var_s_steps = var_s_steps + var_steps_inc
elseif var_steps_inc > 0 then
var_steps = var_steps + 1
end
var_prev_syst_steps = var_syst_steps

var_s_hr_syst = {shr}
if var_s_hr_syst < var_s_hr_mini then
var_s_hr_mini = var_s_hr_syst
end
end

]]

It’s hard to say when this happens.
I suspect updating the watchface but it seems to happen at other moments too.

Another issue with the steps count on Prime 2 is that it doesn’t reset to 0 when the day ends.

This is not the place for political discussion. Thank you for your understanding.

On my Kospet Prime 2 with UL, some of my app icons are not listed in alphabetical order. eBay is one of them. Anyone know how to force all apps to list in alphabetical order?

Let’s keep this on track and about the launcher

Anyone have a solution?

You can custommize the order of the apps easily. Just press and hold the app icon. Then chose “prefered”. Now it appears at the top. If you dou this with the next icon, the same will happens. So you can customize the order of the apps.

Thanks for the tip. I was just hoping they would automatically be alphabetized when added to the watch. For some reason, some are and some aren’t.

The reason for this could be different package names.

ive noticed ebay to always be at the bottom also. I have just put it as one of my favorites so its up at the top and easy to find.

I have a BIG security issue on the Prime 2 with UL :
I verified that the watch was locked then I restarted the watch.

When UL opens after the restart the watch is unlocked!
So if you steal a Prime 2 running UL you only have to restart the watch to have full access :rage:

I think I already talked about this but the issue is still here…

I checked the package name for eBay and it is just “com.eBay.mobile”. So, I don’t think that is it. Unless I’m not seeing something?

No offense, but I don’t get the “locking your watch”. It’s on your wrist and you should only charge it in a place where no one can steal it.

Once again, you can reorder them as describted.

I don’t like locking either while wearing my watches. What would be ideal is to unlock only when the watch is powered on. Is this possible with some setting or app? Or would it require firmware changes?

I guess one way is to manually disable locking after booting and enabling it before shutting down but that’s a nuisance. I wonder if Tasker can help automate that…

Right…if you want to make them a “Preferred” app icon. But it only puts it at the top. I just want them ALL alphabetized.

Its possible. Chose the last one 1st, then the one before, and so on. I know, it’s some work, but it’s possible.
For example: you have 3 Apps. A, B and C. Cose “c” as prefered. Then chose “b” as prefered. At last, chose “a” as prefered.

No offense, but :

Did you ever use a smartphone?

Would you like to have it unlocked in your pocket outside your home?

Would you like that the guy who stole it from your pocket or your bag could access every data on it with zero effort?

Would you even leave your smartphone unlocked when you’re sleeping?
I wouldn’t…

The Prime 2 is a smartphone and should almost always be locked outside of your home in case you loose it or it is stolen from you!
If you really use it and not only to see the current time it contents almost as much critical data as your smartphone.
The pattern unlocking or the face unlocking make it very easy to use.

Of course if you have a WearOs watch where nothing critical can be stored that’s not an issue.

They ARE alphabetized!

Even those you selected as favorites are alphabetized!

It should be useful to investigate why some are in the wrong place.
I have eBay and also a Camera app (Not the system one) in that case.

Even with those exceptions I think the app list in UL is very efficient :
Too columns with big icons and the name of the app.
The alphabetical order.
The favorite option with the favorites app also in alphabetical order.
I think it really VERY easy to find the app you want!

I also have ATV launcher that is very good at that with even more options to sort your app list exactly as you want.
But I really almost never need to use it!

No use for this!

If anyone can unlock your watch only by pushing the top button, it’s not a lock anymore!

When you need to access anything else than the current watchface you unlock it with your pattern lock code.
When you’re back to only clock use, the top button to switch off and another top button push to get it locked again, is that so difficult?
