I have been using watch styler on my new verizon gear s. I have been able to create a couple watch faces that have worked pretty good. My question is has anyone been able to load any of the faces from the gear faces website using this app? It worked great with my gear 2. Trying to determine the exact directory I need to put the downloaded Tientsin watch faces in. Right now if I try to load any of the existing faces I downloaded previously the new watch styler does not see any themes. Any help is appreciated. Unrelated but has anyone been able to load or stream any type of video format on the S?

I am able to load themes and create themes form watchstyler for Gear S and I apply themes through gear manager homestyler watch someetimes its buggy but eventually loads to GS
liking watch styler but waiting for more interesting themes to surface.
I can load the pre-defined faces, but can't load any face I create myself.
I'm having the same issue.. I can load the existing themes but cannot load new ones that I make.

There Is a video on you tube that explains the process. In the watch styler app, you need to create aNew face but name it the same as the face you want to download, then keep hitting next through all the options because it doesn't matter what it looks like. After that there will be a folder under //sdcard/android/data/com.omnitel.appcess/theme that has the name of the watch you want. After you download the watch face you can extract it and there should be about five files in it. Replace the files under the omnitel/"watch faceyouwant" folder and then it will show up in gear manager.

Are you creating you face in the watch styler app on phone then saving and going into watch to watchstyler and clicking the gear icon to make your face the new one?

some of my faces examples
I did not watch the video you don't need all them steps just load theme or create theme open in gear manager click watch styler as clock click settings gear icon on watch styler click the watch face you want apply. You phone and watch will show loading (Watchstyler can be buggy sometimes if it hangs just add a pre installed clock from GS then go back to watchstyler to apply again)
Now I have been able to make my own watch faces using watch styler and load the ones I created. And yes its a little buggy but it eventully worked. I just do not know where / what directory to put the ones that I find on the GearFaces website that I have downloaded. Not sure if they will even look right with the different size screen that is on the S but would like to see how one of there rolex faces would look.

I have connected the GEAR S to my PC via micro usb. There are various directories but nothing specifically to watch styler. Now I did connect my Note 4 to my PC and I could see the directory structure of the phone and card. I found the watch styler directory. I downloaded a particular watch face from the GEAR FACES website. Now I put the theme in a folder called theme..no luck. Tried putting a theme on the root of the SD card and the root of the internal memory. Still no luck when I click load theme. I found the folder that contained the images off the various watches that do show up. But the various created themes that I did were all broken into sub directories. Not even sure if I could break it down from there. I wish you could navigate to a particular directory with watch styler. My watch styler just comes back saying could not find theme. I thought previously you could just download a theme to the root of the SD card and then watch styler would know it and load the theme.

I see idk how to do .wgt files or sdb.files. but I agree this app for Gear S needs a lot of work most things digital/analog clock and made for gear1/gear2 they need to work on our device not just give us the gear2 app and rebrand it gear S
I know you may have probably did this but it's worth a try
======================================================
Install Tizen Widgets
1. Download the attache sdb.zip file
2. Unzip it into a directory on your pc(result file = sdb.exe)
3. Also download one of watch zip files in this thread.
4. Unzip them into the same directory as the sdb.exe (result file = *.wgt)
5. Enable usb-debugging on your Gear
6. Connect your Gear with usb cable to the pc
7. Open a cmd box (dos command window)
8. Go to the directory you just created (cd )
9. Type command:
sdb install
And press ofcourse
Now the wgt file is installed and you can select it on the watch.
Warning: the sdb.zip contains a .exe file.
Normally do not download .exe files directly from unknown sources, they can be infected with trojans and viruses.
Never Ever!!!!!!
But in this case it is safe
Otherwise you would have to install the whole Tizen sdk, only for this one exe file.
====================================================================
I know the gear 1 was easy it ran android gear2/gear S not sure I know the files are .wgt not apk. But you sound like you know what your doing more than me.

I can use watchstyler, I made a new theme, went to where I saved a theme from gear face. I extracted it and went to the watch store directory folder and the new theme that I created and tried to copy and override the information in that folder face still didn't work.
I need help with the command DOS, thanks

Yes ok I understood it right so you need help adding .wgt files to sdb.files I don't know how to do that I know the instructions are their but DOS not my strong suite.
When you press load a theme and it shows MY files (It can not find a theme) have you tried to add the theme with wifi direct/beam to your phone and let the phone find it that way. assuming the download is .zip or .wgt something like that
ok if you understand adb android it is the same for Tizen just called sdb
Use it as follows to install your wgt:
- open a cmd box
- go to the directory where the sdb.exe tool is located
- make sure the wgt file is in this directory too
- type command:
sdb install xxxxxx.wgt
========================================================================
- download the install manager exe file and sdk zip file for tizen wearable
- start the install manager
- at advanced, select the dowloaded sdk zip file and install it (remember the location were you install it)
- in the installation dir, you will find the ide.exe in the tools/ide directory
- the sdb.exe tool is in the tools dir
- start the ide.exe
- create a new workspace
- create a new wearable web app (file-->new-->Tizen wearable Web Project)
- select Sample
- select Web App
- choose the example you want to use (I used the ClockWidget for the Rolex)
- connect your Gear2 with the usb cable
- run the project (click the small green circle with white triangle at the top bar).
- clock should now be installed on your gear 2.
sometimes the install of the widget fails/hangs, just try again, or uninstall it first:
in a cmd box:
sdb uninstall <package>
find the package name in the console log while installing or in the config.xml (source tab) of your project.
================================================================================
This is complicated for me but you used to do it on your android so it should work the sam
Thanks, let me see if this works for me

Having the same problem and can't figure out wtf I am doing wrong. All the ones I make are a no go but I can load included themes fine
EDIT: There is an Images folder in /sdcard/android/data/(xxxxomnixxxxx)/(name of theme) that needs to be deleted. Once you do that it will work. The only issue I have after that is when waking up it shows a black screen with digital clock first. I changed it to wake on last screen and now just have to remember to hit the home button when i am done but I doubt that is how it is supposed to work.
Watch Styler s updated for me now everything works I can apply my themes I just made no problem

- [Fixed] Sometimes the contact widget would throw FormatException.

Did you find my application useful? I've spent lot's of time programming it, please buy me a beer! Donate!
Neat. I will have to give it a try.
any photos?
No photos besides it only has 3 widgets hehe, the most important thing was providing the "framework", someone with a little more design capabilities could be better (TWolf flagets look neat hehe).
It looks like the omnia Widgets, (I've only test them on my omnia)..

Instructions are for those who want to create a new Widget, or provide new commands for Widget creators.
To install you must download the Executables rar, create a folder "somewhere" on your device and copy all files there. Then exec KWidgets.exe to run it .
I forgot to mention that I've never tested the app on a bigger screen than that of my omnia... It should work on every Window Mobile Phone... I don't know if it works on a PocketPC. The main difference is that I forgot to place code to resize the window :$
I'll add it on a future version =D
EDIT: I believe .NET CF does it for me so it should work

What's the Path to KWidgets.exe on your Pocket PC?.. It should be something like
\My Storage\Program Files\KWidgets
And in there all the files... you should also create an images folder inside it (\My Storage\Program Files\KWidgets\images)

nicoedga, thanks for developing this. i have one question. is there a way you can make a today plugin out of this? if you manage to create a today plugin for widgets, we'll be able to intergrate it with different shells such as UltimateLaunch.. and then.. the options are endless.

- Run KWidgets.exe.

But are you running the swf Flash files on their own? I don't get it. You should just run the executable.
Width Flash 7 for Power PC you cannot open swf files on their own, it's an ActiveX control.. it needs a host.
Flash Lite is standalone, meaning swf files run. But my swf files cannot be executed on their own, because they rely on my application to run.

Install Instruction
Download the .wgt file and transfer it to your phone
Install it using File Manager like when your installing a .cab file
Samsung Phone i.e. OMNIA II
Install total commander or other file manager.
Browse to the location where the .wgt file is using the file manager
Use the "Open With" option and choose Windowswmwidgetinstaller.exe
Widget should begin installing
Other i.e. cooked rom without Widget Engine
Download and install enable_widgets_wm6.5.cab (Download), which will updates your phone with registry settings for widgets.
Try installing the wgt file now.
If it does not work, try the Samsung Method.
If the file "Windowswmwidgetinstaller.exe" exists does not exist,
You do not have the Widget Engine installed in your rom. You should find a rom with the whole package or try add_widget_engine_v2.cab (Download). This will install all the required files and registry entries
Soft reset and try to install a widget
It should now work

Cool! Although I drive, this cab will still be useful to my daughter.
Any chance that you might want to work on a Widget for Straits Times?

On the Straits Times widget, I was hoping to be able to catch some local and world news snipets. This would be handy if there is no time to read it in the morning.
Hi Zard,
To install, download the app into your phone using pocket ie and check the open after download option.
You can also
1) download the .wgt file
2) copy it to your phone
3) open file manager and click on the .wgt file like your installing a .cab
please go here to offer suggestions on the ST app.
Cheers.
hi bro..
good apps for me but when i flashed Merlion Leo v1.90 rom
i can't install this apps , could you tell me how to solved it.
Thank you.
Hi tonz
please try this
1. Download and install enable_widgets_wm6.5.cab (Download), that updates with more registry settings for widgets.
2. Try installing the wgt file now.
If it does not work, then try to manually register wgt or install wgt engine.
Look if the file "\Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe" exists,
1. If it does exist, get "resco explorer" or "total commander" and install one of them
2. Browse to the folder where the .wgt file is located
3. Inside the file manager select the .wgt file and use the option "Open with"
4. Browse to the \Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe and select that file.
5. The widget should install
If the file "\Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe" exists does not exist,
1. Apperently you don't have the widget engine on your rom, so you should find a rom with the whole package or try the cab below: add_widget_engine_v2.cab (Download). This will add all the files and registry entries the widget engine uses.
2. After the installing of add_widget_engine_v2.cab soft reset and try to install a widget
3. It should now work
Do post back if it works.
cheers.

Hi everyone version 1.2 of SBS Bus Time has been released . Please grab it from my website.
Cheers.
Edit: forgot to add. Click on the stop name in the query to add a bookmark. You should see a tick.
So How do anyone like the new GUI? Any comments?

Hi everyone,
I have developed a bus arrival time widget for windows mobile as i cant seem to find any on the marketplace/web.
You can download it at nichola.110mb.com/wm/
Mirror
Please help to test it out and report any bugs.
Hi afoongwl215,
I **** this project, and it is very useful.
Just one suggestion: can we select the bookmark from the screen instead of click menu>bookmark. The "BookmarK" can be side by side with "Go".

This is good, thanks. Actual it is a pain for me to use HTC keyboard to enter the bus stop#.
I discovered something strange. When I check the bus stop no. 12099 (bus stop opposite SIM) it actually shows smrt buses too and their timings. I thought smrt didn't have this service?
So far this is the only bus stop (that i know of) that shows smrt buses and their timings too, wonder if it's a bug?
You might want to look into it. Meanwhile, this program rocks! I use it daily now
ps, i get [object error] everytime i start up the widget, it still works but the error is annoying
currently the database that the application is using has SMRT buses for some stops. Their arrival information is derived from the public [email protected] site. Not all stops are supported only (100) i think.
regarding the [object error] popup, another user is also getting it. however, most of the other user do not have this problem.
Can you try somthing. go to menu -> about. click on reset setting. click ok. totally exit the application and start it.
this is what you should see.
1) a popup asking if you want to enable auto update. take note of the current time and post back with your operator name and time which the popup appear.
thanks.
a very useful app. now I know whether to run or craawl to the bus stop!
the bus stop at clementi has smrt timings too.
was just wondering if there is a better way to locate arrival information of a bus stop that I'm going towards but I do not know the bus stop number?
n maybe also the possibility to show train timngs?although the information is available at the train station, personally,I that such information is most useful when we are gong towards the station.
perhaps I'm greedy. haha. but really appreciate your great work n I'm already looking forward to your next innovation!
a very big thank you.
Thanks for the update to v1.2. I found out that the bus stop number has to be obtained from iris website. Is there an easier way to find out the 5 digits bus stop number?
When using v1.1 last Friday, I didn't know about the 5 digit bus number and I just type in the number on top of the bus stop, e.g. B04 and I got error message. I thought your app wasn't working.

Hi Zard, Bus stop number can be found on the singpost next to the busstop. it is also available on the board with all the bus information.

Hi dongster, as this is a widget, i am unable to have access to GPS and stuff. therefore i cant use the Google map API to get bus stop number.
I am not sure if the train arrival information can be retrieved online. if it can be i should be able to integrate it into my application.

MUST HAVE ROOT... probably...
seems promising
will have to check out Android Commander.
Droid Explorer runs pretty good, a bit laggy at times but it is promising. Hope it is ok to attach this jnlp to go with Droid Explorer in case anyone needs it. It was the only way to get screen cast to work properly. Just un zip, and toss the folder on the desk top. It helps start up the screen cast mode for Droid Explorer, in case anyone has trouble getting the one inside DE to work. Hope this helps.

Description
AmazList is a simple ToDo/Notes application. My concept was to have a single "todo.txt" public file on Dropbox that can be easily edited using my computer and an app that will have a synchronized copy of it file that I can access on my watch quickly. Synchronization can be done when WiFi is connected on the watch, but app is caching the file so last copy can be used offline.
Initially I created it just for my personal use but I decided to share this with the community.
Please note that the setup process is requiring few steps and it is not an "install and use" type of app.
I hope somebody will make use of it
Installation
Create a text file on Dropbox and share it via link.
Modify the link as in the example below - remove dl=0 var and add raw=1 (blue part):
dropbox.com/s/1234567890/todo.txt?dl=0 => dropbox.com/s/1234567890/todo.txt?raw=1
Install the app on Amazfit Pace using your preferred method (adb, Amazfit Tool etc.) and run it.
You will see the the green setup prompt with confirmation that config file have been created (as below):
Open your Amazfit internal storage on the computer navigate to "Android\data\cc.adamczyk.amazlist\files" and look for "URL.txt" file.
NOTE: If you do not see "URL.txt" file in the location try to disconnect your Amazfit Pace and connect it again.
Put previously created Dropbox link in the file and save it (remember to use the full address with http etc.).
NOTE: If you can not edit the file because of the permissions, copy the file to your computer, edit it there and than copy it back to the mentioned location on the watch.
Enable WiFi on the watch.
Run the application again and you should see the contents of your list on the watch.
You can use the refresh button to manually get the latest contents of the file.
Final Notes
You CAN NOT edit/change the list in any way on the watch (it is read only there).
I am mentioning Dropbox in the instruction but of course you can use any ASCII file available via HTTP (for me Dropbox is just the easiest to use).
You can use local file URL ex. "file:///mnt/sdcard/Download/TODO.txt" (WiFi connection will not be checked).
To enable WiFi on your watch you need a separate app ex. PaceOn.
I have tested the application only on Amazfit Pace still it will probably work on Stratos also.
Error Messages
ERROR: Wrong url configuration!
This error is shown when your "URL.txt" configuration file is empty or the first line in the file is not a correct http link. Check the "URL.txt" file in "Android\data\cc.adamczyk.amazlist\files".
ERROR: No internet connection!
This error is shown when there is no WiFi enabled on the watch and also there is no cached copy of the file. Enable WiFi and press the refresh button so the app can download and cache it.

Changed app icon.
Slight color tuning.
Redesigned error messages.
Fixed date field positioning.
1.0.2b [30/06/2018]:

Great idea! My suggestion is that you try to use the same file as another app already available for Android/iOS, so you can sync both and the app on watch. I am using TickTick with Twitter account so I can sync the data with my phones, but the app doesn't look good on watch. If you need any further info, please let me know.
I will try your app tomorrow on my stratos and let you know if it works. Thanks for sharing your work!
I was thinking to make myself an app to control a yeelight bulb via wifi from the watch. How do did u build your app to use the watch wifi? Any hits to any API?
I know there is an app and api to use the internet of the phone while the watch is connected to the phone... Amazfit companion or so

I see on the YeeLight website that they do provide some support for the developers, so it might be possible. I'm planning to buy YeeLight lighting in the coming months as I am moving to a new house. That would be nice to have a possibility to control it using Amazfit!
As mentioned by Quinny you can just use internet as on normal android phone, just remember to add "android.permission.INTERNET" to your manifest file.

Great, thanks! But I actually meant that some other apps already use DropBox for syncing, so you could use your app, only probably work on the file format...

Yeah, yeelight api is already available on github: https://github.com/florian-mollin/yapi

Also thanks Quinny for the info!

Hey,
I've installed the AmazList_1.0.2b version, all good...managed to create and copy the link in the URL.txt, BUT in the app on the watch, even though I have enable the Wifi it says "Please enable Wifi", when I go back to the setting to enable Wifi it searches and connects to it.... looks like I can't manage to keep the Wifi connection alive once I exit the wifi menu.
FYI: I'm using the stock US firmware.

Just tested it with Stratos, the global version of OS, it works. I would recommend adding the link to the PaceOn xda thread since your app will not work without it. Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Edit: you can add in your description that it was tested and it works on Stratos official global (A1619) ROM 2.3.4.0
Very very very good app for my Stratos !!! Thanks.
Update new version soon ?
Great app! Thanks for sharing. It is exactly what I was looking for.
Installed the app and it works with local file, but doesn't work for me with shared link. I tried with shared google drive file and dropbox file, but both doesn't work. Wifi is enabled and in used, the error is "Wrong url configuration!"
The links that I tried are starting with: 'https', 'http', 'www', 'dropbox', but they all doesn't work.
My shared file ends like this: dropbox.com/s/ckvh85b8oicsemw/vacsine.txt?raw=1
Any idea what might be wrong in my setup?
Thanks Marek, very usefull app. Would you consider putting the code on github ?
Interesting aplication.
Would it work without the paceon or similars? cant it connect once to wifi, load the extfile from dropbox and when someone wants to reload it just connect again?
Or wifi on pace doesnt work like that?
I was wondering how to access an Android's game file : like see the current skins , characters and upcoming in-game items.
I am specifically interested in Call of duty Mobile (which uses Unity) should this help.
I have looked in many forums and tutorials but nothing seems to be working.
It would be nice if you don't use so technical terms in the steps
Thanks in advance!

I have an Apk of the game on my PC tried extracting it but only found little info , most of the files are in strange formats.
Also tried from my mobile using a method using "Es file explorer" but also no results.
This is my first time doing such thing so I have no idea where to start and what are the basics

You can use any 3rd-party APK Editor to look inside an APK. GIYF ...
And you can decompile an APK's program code with an APK-Decompiler - several online versions of those exist. GIYF ...
N.B.
ES File Explorer is known as a malicious application because it collects data and sends it home (China). Wondering why you're using it?

Hi there, if I understand you want to see bits of code and clue on what's coming in the game, well there are two ways you can do this.
First one (easiest one) browse with MiXplorer (Labs, APKmirror)(you can use another but that one is better that es file explorer) Android/data/obb folder and search for the obb file of call of duty (I assume there is one), then on your pc (or phone, but pc is better) open it as a zip file and browse the different resources in it, try to see if there's something new.
The seconde one is to decompile the apk (means decode the weird text you saw), for that you'll need APKtool or any other tool for reverse engineering (I assume you don't know a lot about that, apktool is great).
You need Java
How to Install it
Now how to use it:
on the same folder you have the apk file, open a command prompt or a terminal and enter the command:
Code:
apktool d [Here the name of the file.apk]
wait for the process to finish, in the end you'll have a folder named as the apk file, in it, go in the res folder and search if some name in the code reminds you of something or not.
I have to tell you that this work of searching for new bits of code is quite heavy/not easy at all, plus you may encounter problems using apktool since you're not really familiar with the commands, but I can only encourage you to keep going that way!
Here's a guide I made to clarify what's an apk and how it works for newbies, if you ever wanna go further:

If these steps are to complicated feel free to replie with questions, but do not PM me, so other people can learn from your questions.
Have a good day:good:
need suggestion for game files

Is it safe way because I also don't want to damage my current game files.

That's safe but you don't have to touch the game on your phone, just download the apk though internet, crack it open on your PC with the method I told you and browse it on your PC and that's it.
And for the Obb file, if you delete it or move it, it will harm the game, that why you just need to COPY it (don't miss click lol) to your download folder (or another one) and then transfer it to your PC via USB cables.
We use apktool on PC, not on phone, and apktool is perfectly safe : no virus, not extremely demanding with resources (I used to run it on a 2Gb Ram PC)
So if you don't delete the Obb or move it , and as long as you don't uninstall the game, it is completely safe

N.B.
ES File Explorer is known as a malicious application because it collects data and sends it home (China). Wondering why you're using it?

Thanks! I Will try and see where I go!
Also I didn't know that ES was malicious , But thankfully I used it quickly then deleted it as I felt uncomfortable using it.

So what apps or tools would you suggest? online tools seems useless , since the apk is around 2gb and most of them have size limit.

First of all thanks for your detailed steps!
Regarding the first method , there is obb for Call of duty but it has 0 files in it and it's size is 0 bytes , that's normal? if not , what's the alternatives?
Second method seems complicated for me , at least for now. So I will stick with the first one
But I was curious , will both methods give the same results?

An APK's program code never exceeds 50MB. The program code - in Dalvik bytecode - is located in APK's subfolder classes.dex. Images, icons and raw files, menu files, and layouts, etc.pp, are located in APK's subfolder res. The rest is located in subfolder resources.arsc. You get access to these folder when you unzip an APK.
If you manually want to explore the app's program code then to convert the Dalvik bytecode back to readable Java program code you need the app named jadx.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
N.B.
The APKTool mentioned/recommended earlier here does NOT decompile the program code, it disassembles it: The generated code won't be Java source.
FYI:
OBB files are used to provide additional file assets for Android applications ( such as graphics, sounds and video), separate from an application's APK file.

yep that's weird, check this vid, you should have a heavy file!
https://streamable.com/h5phld
Try another file explorer and see if you have the real number, if not just copy it to your download folder and try to unzip it on your PC anyway.
If it doesn't work your only hope will be the 2nd method, and tbh it's almost the only one used to find what you want. I just remembered finding some interesting this in the obb, but I was lucky.
At least you'll have sountracks in there

Thanks for the distinction, I didn't know that!
I mainly advised apktool to search the full res folder and being able to see if anything new is there. Because usually, bit if "code" announcing something new are xmls.
Java code isn't my field (yet) so if you had any thread, links that I could use to learn more, I'd be interested.
Thx !
