Hi guys
Just wanted to hear some opinions about watchfaces for stratos
Which is best apk or wfz ???
Both
can someone please explain what is the actual difference between apk and wfz watchface
wtz watchfaces is that what you see, in one of those have settings to change Hour and minute hands, some information to show, another doesn't have this option, static graphics
apk watchfaces, are more complex, can show more information to show, animated graphics

Guys , I've found this watchface maker for windows on Huami BBS site, it took me a while to register there and find it using google translate , so I'll post it here , if that's ok.
I can't post credits since I don't know chinese , so if anyone is kind enough to find it , I'll gladly edit post.
Also, if author of file on HuamiBBS didn't give a permission to share , which I didn't come across with google translate, I'll remove it. Anyways, I reckon it will be helpful in previewing your watchfaces, since it can import, edit, save , etc.
It has one exe and one dll which is english translation , I think. For me , it starts in english by default
It does have a number of bugs, and some features are quite oddly implemented, plus it doesn't match the actual layout you'll see on the watch, but it's a good tool for testing watch faces you've made with features that Fabio's site doesn't currently support.
I would like to see some watchface maker that allow us to change icons color or even simply remove them. I found few watchface pictures from samsungs s3 that could be reproduced, but I miss that maker. Or it exist and I missed it?
For me it starts in Chinese, and I couldn't find where to change it... =(

Have you tried to change you PC language to English ? Someone told me that it could be the way to use the Face maker in English. I haven't tried it yet on my own...

What additional features are there?
When saving watch faces I get the message 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
The first time I only had a background image but I did not select the image.
I think it works the same way for time hands but doubleclicking the time digits does not allow me to set something.
Any idea how to fix this?

This is a limitation of the API. You can't make such a watchface for pace, unless it is an apk.
Wen I open an existing digital watch face I can see the actual time in the time digits and the clock is ticking. In the one I create I can only see an empty rectangle.
How to make sure the time is visible?
I know the Pace faces can be customized, but how about the Bip?
Any way to at least invert the colors?
Also, anyone noticed if battery drain is higher with a seconds-ticking design?

My Italian really sucks, so I might not have gotten it correctly, but doesn't this just allow you to change watch faces to other ones that are ready (prepared by other modders), rather than allowing you to create your own watchface?
Now you can easily edit watchfaces. bitbucket.org/valeronm/amazfitbiptools
WatchFace.exe *.bin -> json+resource
WatchFace.exe *.json -> *.bin

hi! do you know if exist a watchFace.exe macos alternative?
Just FYI . This link popped up on reddit not long ago https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/
BIP Watch face "layers"
Does anyone know how things are layered?
What I mean i guess is what order are items in the JSON drawn?
What will appear on top of what?

Almost all faces i got from here (i haven't tried all yet :silly: ) only updating step counter once a minute compared to the official one (the one that comes pre-installed with the firmware) which updating the counter directly. My question is does anyone know how to adjust this behavior by editing the json file?
This post is pretty old but there seems to be 2 third party apps for Bip Watch Faces by now. Pretty solid collection too.

When I try to hide on lock, the weather still shows even though it should be covered by my "lock" image. Does yours do that as well? Did you do something to fix it?
Thanks

No, it is an firmware feature. It is non-fixable. That is the reason why I stopped using hide on lock. Hide on lock is just full screen icon with transparent holes and there is no way how to set layer priority or similar function, so other functions like weather, step circle etc. are drawed always on top....
Makes sense... Suprised the order in the json doesnt set draw order.

Amazfit bip tools zip broken
Hello. I've downloaded amazfit bip tools from the link given from bitbucket.
However, the .7z file is extracted with errors. Basically it's broken. Does anyone know where I can find it or if someone can upload
it and share the link ?
Thanx.

You may want to try a different extractor - I just downloaded the 7z file and it extracted correctly (I used Bandizip).

My Amazfit Bip lasts around 23-24 days with a seconds-ticking watchface. Does anyone know if it may last longer with a simpler watchface?
Since the watch have a build-in watchface called "Morning Runner" which is kinda look very animated for me, and after a multiple research about the custom watchface, The most of what I found is a "static" watchface, one watchface that is nearly animated for me is the one named "pacman" which is only animated with the Hands and the ghost's eyes, which is pretty cool tho,
So, now I'm curious, is there any possible way to make a custom animated watchface for the pace? What tools shoud I use? And there is any tutorial related to my project?
One sample in my mind is to build the Mario one, that he will jump every second to hit the " : " box, thats it.
No, the API doesn't support it, at least for now.
If you want to make a *.wfz, just open one as zip file and see the content.
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

Can someone adapt timetravel watchfaces for 2.3.8. stratos FW?
Is there any way to change the colors of the icons all to white! without always being that green or red?
Can an APK change this?
Thanks
it's possible to make beautiful faces with "Simple Amazfit Watchface Builder by fabio barbon" , but not always with green icons that I can not change unfortunately!
It was important for all amazfit users to be able to have beautiful watch faces
Any solution please?
Any solution so far is to build a custom Java (APK) watchface, and debug it until it works fine with both international and CN firmware.
For me JAVA APK t seems very complicated, I don´t lost much time trying to understand, but it does not seem easy.
I'm afraid to experiment and keep my watch unconfigured and unresolved forever!
