Watchmaker faces settings reset - LG G Watch R

I use watchmaker and love it. One issue I am having is certain faces have color settings (color for the hands, color for the text, color for the markets, etc). It seems that after setting the colors just the way I like it, within a few hours the colors reset to the default settings.
Does anybody else have this issue and does anybody know how to get the colors to stick?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.

It depend on how that specific watchface is being build. You better start building your own face, with the desired colours and that will not reset itself .

Not really helpful in answering my question, ro_explorer. I know building my own would allow the watchface to be styled more to my personal tastes without requiring my question be answered, but I do like faces others have created with their personal scripting and sometimes these faces are locked and I do not have the time to recreate them. As such I'm asking a specific question about watchmaker and how it operates. I would ask that you please do not act condescending and pedantic in answering a specific question about a specific program in the future.
Sincerely,
B.D.

I had the same issue with one watch face I have been using. I ended up solving it when I found a file that configures the defaults for the watch face. I edited the file and changed the variables for the colors and other settings to the way I wanted them to be so when it resets, it goes back to how I want it.
I assume that you could maybe do something similar. On my phone the location of the file was:
/sdcard/BeautifulWatches/scripts
It was just a matter of opening the text file and then changing the values for the variables. Then going on the watch and removing the watch face and resending it to the watch from watchmaker on my phone.

Nx248, thank you. I will explorer the scripts used to try to track down the colors I want. This is helpful. Wish the watch/program would remember the colors though and save me the time in tracking down the script implementation.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
B.D.

Please don't be an ass. My advice was a real one and I'm sticking to it. If you want to have something that suits your specific needs, with the specific look, the ONLY WAY to achieve it is to build it yourself. Do not expect others to deliver the perfection for you.

And I'm convinced 100% that you sent that wish to the developer as well ...
If you really want to find out more about the inner workings of a certain software/platform, or to add useful things to it, the easiest way is to contact the developer.
My recommendation is to stop complaining and actually do something to fix your issue. Do not bash on the ones who are trying to share with you their ideas.

ro_explorer,
If there were an option you would like to see on your car would you build a car yourself, or reach out to see if anybody else had implemented the solution. Your responses ARE condescending and rude in the way you come across expecting people to have infinite time to do this. Maybe you have the time to explorer building this yourself but I have other more important things to do which is why I posed the original question.
To quote you, 'don't be an ass. '
I have found a number of people who have offered useful help on these forums and still contend your 'advice' does not address the original question. I would contend that you need to read the questions people post and not write out an answer just to up your post count or 'prove' what a smart ass you can be.
This is the last post I will make on this subject.

I'm an engineer and a tinkerer .... I'm ALWAYS implementing my own solutions in ALL technical fields that I understand. I also help others and try to put seeds of creation in everyone else ....
If I ever had to ask for stuff I always asked the producer.
I hope this is answering your concerns.
Other than this I'm really sorry you are sensitive to a level to consider my comments as rude ...
Good luck in your endeavour ... If I can help you again, I will ...

Hi nx248,
I tried changing the script on the phone and resending the watchface to the watch but found that since the script had already been transferred to the watch previously I had to edit the script on the watch.
I accomplished this by adb into the watch and pulling the script to my computer, editing it, and then pushing the script back on the watch to the /sdcard/BeautifulWatches/scripts directory. Alternatively, I think I could have pulled the script from my phone, edited it, and pushed it to the same location.
In any case, I edited the watchface variables so that the default position in the array corresponded to the colors I wanted, which is working.
Thanks for your help. :good:
EDIT: Just saw that you had stated I should delete the watchface from the watch. I don't know how to do this, so I will have to educate myself.
I read the Watchmaker forum and found that if you enter the "change faces" screen on the watch under Watchmaker (usually press at one of the main watch positions - default to 3 o'clock, but can be set to 6,9,12 o'clock) and swipe up on the face you wish to remove, it is removed from the watch.
Cheers,

(Oct-20) Little App: FuelCal v0.1.1

Hi everybody,
I wanted to learn some (basic) programming in VC# and the .Net Framework. So i looked for an idea. After a short time i had this idea, to create a program, in which you can keep track of your Fuel consumption of your car. (i think it is kind of useful, because the prices are changing every day).
I thought i'd share it here.. maybe someone is looking for a piece of software like this.. if not, just ignore it
you can test it, use it etc (whatever you want)..
Currently, there are two languages: German and English, but i dont love my English translation...
News:
v0.1.1 is now online:
I fixed the bug but another problem appeared: people who upgrade to the new version will lose all their data stored in data.xml with the uninstaller...
So i decided to create a simple Backup-Restore Function. Now, with the new version, you can Backup your Data before Upgrading and after that, you can restore it... If you use the Backup - the files will remain in your memory, until you delete them..
This is not the best way to solve the problem, because these files will stay on Memory even if the user uninstalls the program...
I read, that there is a way to costumize the setup process with a custom "Setup.dll" but i could not figure out how this works.. if anyone knows how to do this, please PM me..
Changelog:
v0.1.1 - 10/20/2008
fixed: storing units did not work
added: simple backup-function
added: simple restore-function
v0.1 - 10/19/2008
inital release
Beware: I will not guarantee for damage on your devices
If you have Bugs, ideas for new features or other feedback - let me know ..
This is a cool little program, would help a lot of people who have to teavel to work, etc..
I wish i had this when i was having some mileage problems with my car.
FuelCal
It looks good. I will give it a try.
Don't worry about your English, you can program!!!
Have a great day.
Glenn
FuelCal
Now for some more fun programming.
The store function is not storing the updated info.
It would be very useful for me if it would also calculate Mile/Gallon
Thanks.
Glenn
thanks for the feedback...
well i did not test the "Store" Feature for the Units ... bad in this case...
is will release a fixed version soon, stay tuned...
have a nice day
Just what i was looking for.
Thank you very much.
A bug
Hi. Excellent idea. You should check that on "Evaluation" the "price per Km" should be divided by 100 because it is done in cents but the unit says, when you change it, $/Km and not $cents/Km
Thanks.
Suggestion
Nice idea g3eB4Y. I will try the app.
This is something that could grow into a larger application if you want to track vehicle maintenance too. Also, I think that it would be helpful if you could simply enter the odometer reading and fuel quantity and allow the program to calculate distance.
First of all, thank you for your feedback...

I think there is nothing really wrong with the calculation.
When you change something on the settings page, you will only change the mask, but it will not affect the calculation..
The first Textbox under "Currency" will change the display for the "big-currency-unit" (€,$...) and the other textbox will change the "small-currency-unit" ($Cent, €Cent.. )
I can include a feature, that you really can change the calculation and display mode (€/km, €Cent/km, €Cent/20km ...) but at this moment, it does not

its great to see, that somebody uses it... thank you!
g3eB4Y,
Very nice app you have. I've been using a excel spreadsheet to do this and now, I'm moving over to your app.
I wonder if you could add in another method of calculating the fuel consumption.
Distance travelled / No. of Litres = km/litre
Hope you can add that in to your next update.
Thanks once again.
PS:
No big deal but if you could name your cab file with the version number, it would be great!

@chefs: reward offer for "task-snoozing"

Dear Chefs,
thank you for all great work you have done so far!
I use the Energy ROM for about two months and I'm stunned about all the great features he provide.
However, there is one thing I can't stand: The lack of appointment- and task snoozing other then 5 minutes. This makes the remind function almost useless.
My German t-mobile branded TP2 (called: MDA Vario V) came with the option to snooze appointments and tasks by a selectable time. So I could choose remind me in one or half Hour for example or one day and many other options, rather than dismiss it over and over again every 5 minutes. This is really bugging me.
I found a fix from crackwhore but it seems to be not compatible with the current windows mobile 6.5 ROMs.
Because it is so important to me and, as I noticed, to many, many others I want to post a reward and invite everybody who want this feature to join me by posting how much you are willing to donate to the person who find a solution and share it with the community
A proper solution would be a fix that works for the latest generation of WM6.5 ROMs and it would be great to have it already cooked into the popular ROMs, including Energy ROM.
So if somebody finds a solution, everybody who joined me is asked to donate the promised amount to the person who provided the solution.
I start off with a offer of 10$
Feel free to join me and make suggestion.
And please be true to your word: Don't offer something you are not willing to donate.
Current Offers (25.10.2009 01:25 UTC):
10 US-$
and
0 €​
Why dont you ditch MS with another commercial application in the market? Couldn't you able to find one? I dont remember it but there was a program like this. Google it I suggest.
You can set the "reminder" time as any minutes/hours/days when you add an appointment. Am I missing something here?
NVM, I solved it! I was able to replace the new Notification.dll that handles the notification bubbles with an old, stock one. See the next post for the solution I made!
Question
Did your stock German ROM have the notification manager, where you'd click the taskbar, and it brings up that full screen? And also, did it have the skinned notifications, like the EnergyROM does? Please just describe exactly how the stock ROM handled the notifications, describe it visually.
Information
I researched this for 5 hours, and I was trying to do this: I wanted to make the Notification Panel remain (Full screen when you click on Taskbar), BUT, I wanted to use the standard Windows Mobile notification popups, because those allow you to snooze better. Well, that's not possible, from what I could tell. It's either all or nothing, you can't mix Microsoft's and HTC's notification system.
Solution
So, you have to disable the entire thing, which means you won't have the finger friendly notification system when tapping on the top taskbar. You can find the registry to disable Notification Manager here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4125405&postcount=3
Advanced Notifications Power Snooze Appointments!
I solved it!! It's CABbed up, and available on my website, Wingster.

And if you want to donate, then follow the link on the bottom of my Wingster website, or use this link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5401195
Maybe I should have waited longer, for the bounty to increase! Nah, I did this mostly for myself, but it did end up taking 5 hours! I hate registries!
How I Created It
I found the old NotificationLayout.dll, and used that one for handling the notification bubbles! This brings back the old WinMo notification style popups, but it also keeps the finger friendly notification panel! Win-win!​
Imagine how fast the world is, I wish you could solve my break off with GF such a fast.
Have Fun, Cheers
Sunny
the solution that brings the old popups up, has been around since my touch x 6.0 and that is since december last year...
well well well......
Awesome. I had used the crackwhore one and it worked but this is better

FYI, crackwhore's is a better solution it doesn't eliminate the repeat function so what happens you get the alarm one time which was just as big a concern that I've had with some of the ROMs.

shiat..might I add, you can uninstall the cab but the dll has been overwritten so some how I gotta find the original and use crackwhore's or hard reset plus crackwhores.

Lol dam. Wasted that effort for nothin? lol. Well we can add mine to the collection of CABs that do the exact same thing as the other
Hi,
sorry for the delay, but university was keeping me extremely busy this week.
However I'm glad you found a solution. It's so unimaginably convenient to be able to snooze the alarm!
However would it be possible to add some options? There is still room on the display for one option isn't it?
Very handy would be having options like four and twelve hours (half day).
I would rather surrender 10 minutes while already having 5 and 15 minutes.
(or maybe better: surrender 15 minutes while keeping 10)
However the current stage of development is already great and of cause I will stand my word of donating 10 bucks.
I invite everybody who like this fix to also support him since he was fair enough of not "waiting" for the bounty to increase first and he's doing a great job with his website anyway.
Best Regards, Time
PS: You are talking about other - already existing - solutions? I only found crackwhores fix and didn't get it to work. Well now I have a great one-click-solution I won't surrender ... would be just interesting to know.

By next week I will flash my ROM anyway so I could flash the stock ROM in between and check if that helps. Interested?

Yea, flash the stock German ROM, and see how that operates. It'd be very interesting if they kept the advanced snooze options while keeping the slick notification style too.
I think that editing the DLL's is impossible though, but I guess it'd be worth a try. My initial goal was to keep the skinned notifications but add the snoozing. That'd be the optimal goal, and I will try to see if that can be done!

Yourestarted your phone after installing it, right? Maybe his ROM has some different notification system...I could try to look into it if you can confirm it still didn't take effect after a restart.

Well.....
First, download This File, unzip it, and place the DLL in the \Windows directory of your phone.
Now, here's where it may be different, apparently. Using a registry editor (like PHM Registry), try to find the string that is called CustomUIDLL and contains NotificationLayout.dll.
That string key should be located under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM, however since the CAB didn't work, Valkyrie must have changed the location of the registry key. See if you can find it. Once you do, change the string value to: "NotificationLayoutOld.dll"
Hopefully that'll get it working!

OK.
Under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM i have one folder named "reminder" and 3 other items named "default", " customUIDLL", and "userdefaultUI"
if i click on customUIDLL the string already reads "NotificationLayoutOld.dll" ( iguess from when I applied the .cab file) so there is nothing to change!
Also here is a screenshot of the contents in the HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM/reminder folder that I mentioned above
should i be editing the autodismissextendedduration file?
BTW I forgot to mention that when i install the cab file instead of "snooze' at the bottom bar I get the "menu' on the right and also another symbol on the left (like a phone with an 'x' next to it" but if i click on any of them the notification goes away and does not come back
So in essence the .cab works (because it points it to something else) but the location it point to, doesnt contain the necessary file to show up when you click on the the "menu' icon or the other icon that comes up SORRY I DIDNT MENTION THAT EARLIER BUT I WASNT AWARE OF IT TILL NOW.....

Beginning to edit Music.apk? Advice requested.

So, I have absolutely no knowledge of any type of Android coding, but I'm hoping to learn through trial and error. I've always hated the native Music app -- especially its appearance, but also certain features here and there. My question is, how can I go about editing this?
I'm in the process of re-skinning the APK, basically replacing the old images with better ones. But how would I go about more substantive edits? Suppose I wanted to change the background color to white and the text to black, or the time-jumper at the bottom of the screen from orange, how would I go about that? There's some XML files in the APK, but whenever I open them, I get a bunch of odd characters that I can't really make sense of.
Am I correct in assuming that the source code is not available for Music.apk? If it is, how do I get it and where do I go from there?
Like I said, I'm an absolutely beginner at app creation/modding, but I'm usually a pretty quick learner. I went from zero web design experience to replacing my University's housing website with a brand new one in less than a week, so if I get a push in the right direction, I should be good to go. I did a site search for tutorials on modding a system app, but couldn't find anything.
Any help?
PS: Once I get some edits started (if I ever get that far), I'll definitely be sharing it with XDA. So, any advice you could provide could be mutually beneficial!

Something like that would be pretty simple cause its just list views that expand other list views.
As for starting to edit you can change most of the colors is the strings.xml and the layout xmls. For images make sure you dont replace .9.png with normal images. If you have the sdk setup use draw9patch in the tools folder.

Thanks, that helps. I'll get started by taking a look at that.
I'm not sure why I thought it was unavailable. I mean, some of Google's other apps are close-sourced, thought I suppose those are all part of the Google Experience.
I guess I thought that if the source code was available, someone would have improved the Music app substantially by now. In my opinion, it's terrible and could use a lot of work.

Android Studio coding help needed

Hi, firstly I just wanna say I'm completely new to android studio & coding. I recently began building my first app & feel like my head is gonna explode
I've tried searching online for an answer to my question but couldn't find anything related, so I thought I'd post it here and see if any of you guys could help me out.
So I spent all of last night trying to create a splash screen and login page for my app, which I still haven't completed but thought I'd get ahead of myself and prepare for the next steps and potential issues I could encounter.
I want to create a circle image next to people's names which they can click and change with a different image (not on their phones device but within the app) just a simple image such as the letter from A-Z which are different colours. I have no idea how to do this or if it is even possible? Sorry if I am not explaining myself clearly but any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Looking for a task to input text for sms.

Hi all,
So at work we have a walkie talkie radio system that people use. Sometimes people have it turned down or off when someone is calling them.
I usually send them a text telling them they are being called on the radio.
So can a task be made with a widget that when I select it, then it will first it give me a dropdown list of people on my contact list. After I choose a person have another drop down list. When I select those two people, tasker would send a text to the contact from my first dropdown box saying "(second name) is trying to call you on the radio!"
I hope I made myself clear.
Thanks in advance.
Look into AutoContacts plugin for Tasker. It will help you. In addition, Tasker has a "Send SMS" action and supports variables.
I don't think you'll find anyone who will just have this sort of thing already made and ready to go for you. You'll likely need to create this from scratch and push through the bugs as you test it. Think it through on pen and paper if you are having difficulties.
People are here on forums to help out with specific functions of Tasker... Most people don't fill whole profile/task requests here.
Thank you for the reply! I'll look into AutoContacts and give it a shot.

As an added request, I'll narrow it down. Does tasker allow for input to be selected from a list?

Perhaps a scene would be best used for this if it is a small set of static individuals to choose from. Snackbar plugin or Material Design Plugin can be used in the place of scenes many times.
