Hi All,
First off, I LOVE themer! I've been using Apex Launcher for some time on my HTC OneX (rooted, ARHD 31.3 ROM) and I've often gazed with longing at the home screens that some people have designed using UCCW, knowing that I'll necer have the time (or the artistic flair) to design my own. Now I can!
But there seems to be SO many customization options on Themer, and I'm a little overwhelmed. For instance, I'm using a theme with an RSS feed as a central tile, but I'd love to be able to change that to a 'favourite apps' tile. I'm sure the option is there, but I can't work it out. So, has anyone developed/is working on/knows of a Themer user guide?
I work on a cruise ship and internet access is slow and expensive (£10 for 167 minutes!) so I really don't have time to surf around looking for answers to design questions.
SO, does such a guide exist? If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, is anyone up to the challenge?:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
The video is kind of like a user guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474039

Thanks miles_muso for your kind words! Yes the video vhngu930 provided is a good one, but for your problem I can help here. See the thing is that you'd first have to delete that RSS icon and then hold down on the homescreen > Themer Actions > Favorite Apps. Now you'll have a massive heart (we're working on adding icon packs soon), which you'll be able to edit. If you hold down on the icon > edit > tap the icon, you'll be able to replace it with an icon image. You can maybe try here for icon images which may help, they by Jeppe Foldager and the small whites and darks should help for now: https://www.copy.com/s/DxsaXLatvBGf/Share/Icons
Hope this helps!
I just got my watch a couple of days ago and I noticed once you start including background images or custom watchfaces with a lot of text or items on screen, the quality of the image while the watch is locked gets a huge hit. So my favourite watchface now is the TimeTravel one, which is the default watchface usually featured on the publicity pictures of the device: https://us.amazfit.com/shop/pace?variant=25112
This watchface looks neat, and even with the screen locked, the image quality is wonderful. What i lack is weather and battery info on it, and I'd be peachy. Is there a way to modify this watchface or any simmilar one with this simple feature? I've been looking through watchfaces here: https://sawfb.fabiobarbon.click/ but can't find one that meets these specifications.
The is a kinda similar face that I found on that site, its called "bcolor".
I don't think it has weather, but it's pretty easy to edit the face using the sites tools so you should be able to add it.
Also there is another site that seems to have a good selection of faces

HNFit is a new Watchface that was based on the Greatfit project of GreatAPO.
It has several new and unique features:
- Highly customizable.
For now: background colors, hour colors, minute colors.
- Built in pedometer, which based on the set height and the steps taken, calculates the distance traveled in KM.
I always felt a big limitation of my Pace only being able to see the distance traveled in sport mode. (today and total)
So in this new watchface I programmed a pedometer to give this information.
- One user customizable widget.
From Greatfit app the top right widget is user personalized.
- Information about current, maximum and minimum temperature of the current day on the watchface
- Battery bar, weekdar bar, distance goal bar.
- Many options
Devices:
Amazfit Pace and Stratos.
Known bugs:
The pedometer distance does not update while the screen is off/locked. When you unlock phone the distance will be recalculated..
To do:
- Add more items to be color customized.
- Fix locked screen not being updated.
- more...
Installation:
ADB install command: adb install -r HNFit_X.X.apk
Or
Use Apk Installer
No root required
Screenshots:
Download:
Download from attachment.
Credits:
GreatApo and everyone that contributed to the GreatFit project.
Also comments are welcome.
If you use and enjoy this watchface and want to support it's development, please consider making a donation.

Looks good, but any big differences i don't see in it. It's the same GreatFit watch face, just changed some places of widgets, added more options like to change minute colour and ect, but if say honest it's looks like updated GreatApo watch faces version. Nothing special i don't see here. You could to change design much more, from: icons, to visualizations and ect. If i'm not wrong you even did not changed style of clock at all
This text on top of this topic:"HNFit is a new a totally new Watchface that was based on the Greatfit project of GreatAPO." sounds very very weird, it's not totally new, it's just updated
By the way waht is mean down 17 hours degrees? I thought 25 mean weather temperature, so what is mean others degrees? I'm talking about 28/17C? First screenshot

"It's the same GreatFit watchface"?!?!
Different style of the clock, different fonts, color customization, a completely different design.
New and different bars: with battery, weekday, distance.
The icons on the watchface are new, except the icons from the user widget.
The settings icons are from GreatFit, they work fine and for now I did not see the need to change them.
Also I programmed a new real Pedometer!! Instead of having a widget saying all day 0 KM, you now have a working pedometer showing an estimation of the distance walked.
I surely was prepared to some negative comments but this is too much!
I really don't know why I wasted my time sharing my work...
The only thing I think you're right about is the "totally new" part, it makes no sense and I already corrected it.
PS: about 28/17ºC it's on the first post "maximum and minimum temperature of the current day", also it's something new and different from GreatFit!
Maybe you should pay more attention and read before you post?

I don't think people are trying to slight your work, but if you could let others know how to use and operate and benefit from it, then people can appreciate. Such as, what do you mean by programming a new pedometer? You mean you have a start/stop button to control when to measure? What's the difference with using that than the built in pedometer which starts counting steps from 0:00 everyday, etc? It's difficult for people to appreciate when no clear instructions were given, and all they can see if a slightly revised watch face. Don't you agree?
Thanks for ur efforts
Is it possible to customize a widget so that it shows an output of another app?

I agree.
But I also agree that I have described the function and people should READ AND try to TEST and understand things:
- Built in pedometer, which based on the set height and the steps taken, calculates the distance traveled in KM.
I always felt a big limitation of my Pace only being able to see the distance traveled in sport mode. (today and total)
So in this new watchface I programmed a pedometer to give this information.
Also you could install the watchface and try it before making these kind of comments.
There is a line between being critical or being rude. And you have no idea what this line is.
Thank you
Thanks for watchface! Phone battery widget shows incorrect data for me.
I'll try to clarify the built in pedometer part.
Me personally on the weekdays when I go to work I never start any activity and my distance widget would always say 0.0 KM walked. Even if I take 10.000 steps.
All default watchfaces of Pace/Stratus only have two types of distance, the today distance and the total distance of the sports activities in KM or in Miles.
The new feature in HNFit is a widget that estimates the distance walked (in KM or in Miles) based on the steps and the height of the person, like a physical pedometer
If it's still not understandable please tell me to try to clarify more.
Out of curiosity, what method did you use to make the pedometer work when the screen is locked (slpt)? I have a custom watchface I customized/tweaked from GreatFit, and I have a very basic distance walked widget, but it doesn't work when the screen is locked yet. I was looking at the various posts in GreatFit and saw that there were several possible ways to handle it (decompile/edit service/apk, use time-based update [like world time], or use full slpt-refresh [like weather]), but wasn't sure which was the best method to go with.
Hello, thank you for your WF! A few remarks:
1. Does not work well on Verge (layout is broken) ;
2. Background color isn't background actually, but accent color (other graphics besides time/text);
3. It breaks if "seconds hand always on" is enabled, a restart is required to fix;
4. The user widget always show "BPM" while screen is locked, overwriting whatever info is there.
If I could make a suggestion, I think there are better looking fonts, maybe a LCD digital one.
Keep it up, and simply disregard some bad comments, there are jerks everywhere.
Regards.

About your remarks:
1. This Watchface, as stated on the title, is only made/tested for Pace/Stratus.
I would like to make it also for verge, but I don't have one. And I can only debug on the physical watch.
2. Thank you, I had the feeling, I was wrong calling it background color. Accent is much more correct, I will fix this on the next version.
Also I've being thinking and I will add the possibility to change the real background color, to extend the user possibility to customize the watchface even more.
3. I don't know what "seconds hand always on" is... maybe a Verge only option?
4. This happens sometimes when changing lots of settings. When this happens could you reboot the watch and check if the "background text" disappears?
Thank you for your remarks.

1. Fair enough, I just wanted to make it clear, there is always someone asking "this works on XXX"?
2. Great idea, an "inverted" option (black text on white bg) is very welcome!
3. No, I tested it on Pace, go to watch Settings -> General/Common -> Watchface;
4. Maybe, I will test again when you release a new version, possibly with a better looking font for time.

Ok I'll work on it, maybe this weekend if I have time.
About number 4 I like the current font, but I could add multiple "selectable" fonts. It would be nice.
If you have any (free) font suggestion, please tell me.

It’s great, I like a lot. Can you add this font too?
https://www.whatfontis.com/FF_Ghoul.font
It looks very good.
As for the function of changing the background, it would be good to change the background only of the part of the clock as in the images and the original prototype WF, it is more visual.
Thanks for sharing your work!

That's good to hear.
I will try to include this font as well.
Including multiple fonts will be a little more complicated than I originally thought because each font has different sizes and you need to take this into account when placing the digits on the screen.
But I think it will be possible
If it is the same as WFZ, the numbers from the font are converted to PNG, then you just need to resize them. If you use the font directly, then there should be no problem...

Very good work! The main point of GreatFit project is exactly this, other devs been able to improve and create new watchfaces. Thank you very much for sharing your work and your code!
Users can go hard on you many times. Mind that from their point of view they are not aware of the code/work behind, but some do :fingers-crossed:. Try to be positive and keep up the good work :good:
