how to install "http://gearfaces.com/" themes at my gear s
i had tried with no luck
any help
What don't you understand?
Watch Styler
You can download Watch Styler from the Gear store for free and use that to push the watchfaces.
When you download the file, you move it to device storage (android/data/...watchstylemanager.gear3.s)location, then in your Watch styler you load the theme you downloaded.
I purchased this from the playstore and was refunded immediately why will it not work for Gear S even though it says it does?

The app description specifically mentioned in bold that it does not support Note 4. I remember you have a Note 4.

I also have a Note 3 which I downloaded it on and it did not work I also have a tab S and a Gear 2 and a Gear S. So again why does it not work. I did not install it on my Note 4 but I'm glad you think I did. Maybe the developer should answer thus one as gearfaces. com works for my devices just not the paid app on playstore
I think most of these apps need to be re-worked to work correctly on Gear S. The common mentioned Watch Styler app needs you to manually delete a folder after you created a watch face in order to be able to deploy to Gear S. That really defeats the purpose of a paid app.

Watch Styler is a free app. But it is very buggy and the lengths you have to go through to load a custom face is ridiculous. It works pretty well for creating custom faces within the app itself, but you're very limited with the amount of customization you can do without resorting to using a custom face like Gear Faces.
You don't need to do anything with the folders if you're just customizing within the app. If you want to make a fully custom face or use something like Gear Faces, you need to create a watch face within the Watch Styler app (on the phone), with all the components in it that you want in your custom watch face. Then you have to go into the folder for that watch face you created (using a computer). You replace all the files in that folder with the custom files you want and rename the new files to match the old file names. Once you have done that, you should be able to load that watch face and instead of being the original watch you made on the Watch Styler app it looks like the custom watch face.
It's not as hard as it seems by reading this, but it's really hard to explain in text. THere are some Youtube videos. I had to read a lot of posts and use a lot of trial and error. After several hours of research and copying and pasting files, I finally got this to work.
Im the owner of Gearfaces.com and I did not give any permission to make this app please report this app....

I'm having the same problem where I download the zip file from gear face, then put it in the folder you suggested and still not able to load it on my watch styler. Do you have a indepth video online explaining it?

I do not, I apologize. But this only works with the gear s faces and not the normal gear faces(which are really cool), when you're on the site(gearfaces.com) search (gears) all together and you will see the faces made specifically for the gear s you can download and use this procedure, make sure when you move it, before you can see it you need to load the theme in the watch styler app itself. I hope this helps.

Hi,i just bought this gear fit,it helps me keeping track on my daily activities (on the watch) and stuff like that but i hate that s-health or samsungs fitness app doesn't work on other devices (i have an LG G Flex). Then i found out about endomondo that they support the gear fit so i downloaded the app. After i installed it a new icon on the watch appeared called app connect and endomondo appears there, but when i press it on the phone i get the message Not a Samsung Device or something like that. Has anyone tried this app and can confirm that works with gear fit? Or is it because i have an LG G Flex?
Or does anybody knows any other apps that can make a graph for your activities and can connect to the gear fit?
Thank you.
Endomondo works great with the gear fit. I think Strava used to support it but now does not. I do not have a supported Samsung device but I do have a Samsung phone and I had to change the build.prop file to get it working. I suspect you would have to do the same as in the link below. It may make any LG links unstable however. Copy original build.prop to your PC and if your phone hangs, after modding the file, then push it back using ADB. Good luck.

It works with my ANT+ Garmin Heart rate monitor. It has 3 displays you can customize. See pic.
Hey
Is it possible to use gear fit as instant heart monitor.
To enable working in aerobic area for example.
That means, that gear fit alarms when you are under or above aerobic state, (eg. under 120 hb/s and above 150 hb/s).
Thanx for any kind of help or suggestion.
If you set the Gear fit to track Exercise>Walking or Running, it will show a constant pulse rate but I see no where, app or other that will set HR alarm zones without using HRM, phone and app.
Anyone aware of an alternative to Watch Styler? Watch styler is ridiculously limited in what you can put on your watch face. I'm looking for something similar to WatchMaker. All the watch styler faces out there look nearly identical due to the severe limitations of the application.
Great Question

I've been wondering as well since I find the options very limited as well!
You can create some nice faces, thought, with a bit of help from photo editing software but the built in functionality is pretty weak
Wondering also, especially since watchstyler update killed the feature of loading themes. Force closes and crashes every time. Unfortunately I have not come across another option, other than single watches off the galaxy app store.

Pretty lame. And on top of that no Lolipop love for Note 4. I'm planning on selling my Gear S and Note 4 this weekend. Tired of it. Time to move on to something more Vanilla.
I emailed the developer for the multi watch asking if he was planning on doing anything for lollipop etc but I haven't heard back from him
Sent from this Oneplus "Lollipop" One!!!
FaceDesigner is pretty cool - I used to use a similar app on my Tizen Gear 2 Neo to use some cool backgrounds made into watchfaces with my preferred "template" of where I like the battery, weather, step, etc. widgets.
The problem is I've made a bunch of these watchfaces now and it would give me piece of mind of being able to back up these watchfaces so if I get a new phone or have to reset the watch I don't lose what I've created. I've looked around with root explorer trying to ascertain the directory where these things are stored by FaceDesigner, but haven't found it yet.
Would anyone happen to know what's the best way to save my work? There's not an "export/import" feature either which would have been nice.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Pretty much the title.
I just updated to the new official 2.8.0.5 version which includes a function for always on seconds on the watchface.
It works well on the built in faces but does not seem to work on any custom faces.
I have a bunch of wfz faces from the "Simple Amazfit Watchface Builder" site that I would love to update to support this new feature.
All work if you copy stock timehand from "26w" folders in stock watchfaces to your wfz.

system\watch_faces - new stock watchfaces with working seconds (but only 3 variants, where is "Everest" i dont know). Take folder "timehand" from stock watchfaces and replace this folder in your wfz.
Look my today watchfaces on "Simple Amazfit Watchface Builder", i do it there.
PS If somebody know where is "Everest" stock watchfaces placed, please tell me

I don't seem to have a system folder anywhere that I can see, so that method is a no go.
Can you tell me the name of one of your watchfaces with seconds so that I can search for it. I tried searching for Gurttt but got zero results.

You have adb driver on your pc? If it installes you see when connected your watch all system folders on it
Ok.
Method 1
1. Install adb driver on pc (I installed it to use apk software)
2. Connect watches to pc.
3. Go to "system\watch_faces" and see the stock watchfaces
Method 2
Find Gurt on fabiobarbon. TODAY i make watchfaces with second it no hard to find on 2-3 page
Take timehand from here
sawfb.fabiobarbon.click/view/Imported/TIMEX-working-seconds
I found the folder.
For some reason faces that I add the folder to don't show up in the watch face list on either the watch or phone.
I give up for now, I'll try again when I have access to my PC, trying to do this between a Chromebook and a phone is just not working.
Mobile devices have come a long way but they are still very good at turning a 30 second task on a PC into hours of frustration ending in defeat.
Thanks for your advice, I will have another go when I have a real computer.

Its very simple, really. I use Total commander file manager - enter into my wfz watchface, delete folder "timehand" and copy folder timehand from stock watchfaces. Thats all.

I tried it again on my PC and it worked first time. Dunno what the issue was with solid explorer.
Thanks again for your help.
Yes I talk about this from a lot of time and try to study( with only partial success ) and arrive to conclusions that for now we can use normal timehands for minute and hour and only the second timehands from the new format with always on support. For that I create a zip file with all the timehands I can found with new format.
NEW FORMAT TIMEHANDS
@Gurttt I think is a good base to make your watchface with personal hour and minute and a second "always on" picked from the zip
Second and digital face
Hello. Altought I turned new function second hand ON, it does not work.
Anyway I need seconds on digital watch face. From the beginning it seems only MARATHON LIVE watch face has seconds.
What is going on? I haven't find any other watchface.
Did I miss something?

Hi,
I want to introduce you my new App for Amazfit Stratos.
It has an App for your watch and an App for your mobile. It records your routes and allows you to upload them to Google Fit and Strava.
The main difference between this one and the default one is the size of the numbers. This one is good for people with presbyopia like me
You can download the Apk for the watch reading the App Help here https://bilbosoft.wordpress.com/2018/10/23/help-speed-for-amazfit/
The mobile App is hosted at Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.speedforamazfitmobile
Try it and give me feedback.
Thanks
Any feedback?
nice work!
How does it interacts with the built-in system? do you rely on your own connection to Strava?

The Watch App records the route and when you finish, it sends it to the mobile App that uploads it to Strava
I like the idea since this could be another step to a completely offline solution. Are the data fields costumable? Why do you use blue background? Black on white or white on black seems to me giving the best contrast.
Can't try this out though, since I own a Pace.
If have this app for the Sony Smartband Talk SWR30 and the issue is the distance displayed with 100m resolution. Not very usefull for walk, better for motor engine

The background is black!
The data are fixed.
I will change the Watch App to support Pace as well.

Hi Pacosal,
I am using Amazfit Stratos,
1) is this App calculate the distance itself or read the distance from sport activity?
2) when using this App, is the watch will record the sport activity?

I like to try on this apk, because the Amazfit give me the different mileage as compare to gpx file,
1) will it void the warranty after install this apk?
2) is it possible to uninstall this apk later if I feel not comfortable with it?
Thank you

Is better to install nothing and to keep watch as clean as possible.

Installing ANY APK won't void warranty, and you can uninstall them any time you want, at most a factory reset will remove all installed APK.
That being said, if you get "wrong" distances on watch/Amazfit, you may want to check if 3D Data is enabled, it uses the altitude to calculate the correct distance. If it's disabled or OK, then try disabling auto-pause or choose something different than "stand still", as it's very sensitive and may produce errors.
I installed this app onto my Amazfit Stratos and test it (on vehicle),
During the test, ’Workout’ remain zero, what is it?
after i press, upper button, the App turn to ’pause’ , but immediately turn to ’running’ again, when the car stop, the App will also automatic turn to ’pause’, in the setting on the phone, i choose no ’automatic pause’, below is the setting on phone,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CgFCZAanmtUoKXMCXw3lZSCCIF3G07Fa/view?usp=drivesdk
After the test, i press the middle button to stop, and select to save the track, below is the result shown on phone,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rY7jbxDPtGPHnflTWTfhspqZFXX5xG8l/view?usp=drivesdk
But the date and time shown very strange, ’workout’ also shown zero.
Also no track record sent to Strava, where I can download it?
Hi pacosal,
I like that app, congratulation for your work.
I was looking an app like this ... for running with my xiaomi m365 ... eheheheheh ... but the numbers (even so) are still small
Will it be possible to make a new screen only instantaneous speed and travelled distance ... with BIG BIG numbers? ehehehehehe
I don't understand this App !
Hello , I want to thank you first for you work on this app. I'm also did some apps for android with Eclipse....
But I tried the app, and the displays seem not very simple to understand on my stratos. When I'm moving I can't also identify where is the speed ? the total time ? almost is 0000, sometimes a number seems to be the km/h but not very sure and not accurate at all. Idem for time. There is still to worrk !

Hello pacosal,
Thanks very much for the app. A very useful layout of the screen.
I just have one problem. You say that the right top button should be used start/stop. However in my case this button always sends me back to the home screen. I see no way to configure that differently. So I don't see a way to start recording. What am I missing?
Just one spelling hint, stopped is written with two "p"'s.
Thanks again!
Hi,
Thank you for developping apps for Stratos.
I'm also a presbyopia (as majority of >50 years old).
I'm looking for a simple app which displays the date of the day such as : Monday 29 May with very very big fonts.
