Hello everyone. I'm starting to develop watch faces in watch face studio, and I've been having trouble finding some good resources with certain customizations. For example I've been trying to add weather to my current face design and I have gotten it working, but it always displays the city name and displays it in a way that I can't seem to customize. I found a watch face that has a lot of the function and design that I like that has a weather complication that displays in the way that I would like to use this feature, but I can't figure out how they did it. The watch face I'm referring to is free if anyone would like to check it out. In the play store it's easily found under the name "MDS367". If anyone can tell me how they got their complications to appear with custom font and appearance I would be very appreciative. Thank you

Hello, I made some months ago ava for world wide the PhotoWeather app on windows phone 7.
My ideia was to make app for a quick view of the weather like if it was a widget since i am used to my android based widget home screen.
To fill the gaps of such a simple app, I decided to add some photos from panoramio related to the place.
My first problem was to find a good free service provider that could cover all world, and I must say it as hard to find and still I don't believe the actual solution is the most accurate.
It's very difficult to find a good weather provider with accurate info that supply that same for free.
My live tiles are also obtained via the service provider, they are very basic as they are the weather condition from the last retrieved location.
When microsoft start's supplying the weather info from bing api I guess I will switch to that service.
mean while, if anyone can help me with a good provider.? thanks
PS: Really I'm not advertising my app (since didn't followed the template). It is quite old now, and I guess it achieved the most of the downloads possible lol.
I have new apps coming out, and those I intend to advertise, if possible.
Thanks
Love changing watch faces on my Gear one and will like this watch styler app on our Gear Live watches. Go to gearfaces.com to check out some of the incredible themes.

From what I understand the roms are being built by google and not samsung. So I am almost certain there will be a ton of watch faces and styler apps that will be created for all android wear devices. As much as I like my Samsung gear watch there are very limited faces and the styler app for it drains the battery super fast. I hope this wont be the case for android wear.

watchface API is now rolled out iirc, there's even a couple watchface apps in the market (or so it claims, haven't tested it out). Just found this one too: BCD Clock for Android Wear. I would suggest this google+ group for details, is where I found the above app.

To my knowledge there isn't a public watchface API out yet. You can create really basic watchfaces, however unless you use a system certificate or the keystore used to sign the launcher you are unable to access the clockwork service. In turn this means you can't change the top card peak, or the status bar gravity. I played around with this quite a bit today extracting and decompiling the Samsung watch faces and ended up at the same place as Marcus Stahre with my watchface constantly force closing.

I plan to make it
For now, I have this app (released today) with 20 faces. You control it from your phone.
But soon, I will make something that allows you to choose step by steps the backgroud, font,...

Hello all
This is my first Watch Face, is based on the official android wear API so is only lollipop compatible, but this means that the update and the ambient mode problems are gone.
I don't own a smart watch so is only emulator tested. If you can test it on your watches and provide feedback I would be grateful.
After install it should appear in the Android Wear app.
Altimeter Watch on Google Play
Enjoy!
Play store says. Your device isn't compatible with this version. hmm strange
I rebuild the apk and now it should be ok for android 4.3 and up on the phone.
But it doesn't show your actual altitude... Shame
Very cool face! I really like it. The only thing I'd change is to remove the strip of very bright pixels on the top right border of the face. I'd remove the whole side-lighting effect
But anyways, I'll use it!
Hi everyone!
Just got my LG G R the other day, part-ex'd it for my old Gear 2 Neo.
So far the watch is so much better than the Samsung one, it looks better, feels better, performs better and is more customizable.
3 hours after getting my watch I was running LeeDrOID and I'm getting into the whole sideloading apps, what apps have you guys found to be must have's for your watch?
I was looking at the android wear forum that has a list of working apps via sideload but just wanted to know what your favourite sideload/non-sideload apps are for this watch.
These are some must have apps for your smart watch
Interval Timer
Interval Timer will come in handy by allowing you to record your split times, reps, rest periods.
Wear Audio Recorder
you can quickly record the sound around you using this simple app. Using the Google Material design guidelines, the app lets you sync to both Google Drive and Dropbox, and you can even record with the screen display off if you'd prefer people not to know.
Aeris Wear Weather
Aeris is one of the best ones out there at the moment. Get detailed hourly forecasts for your day, check the weather in other locations, and even see a weather map from regional radar.
Hi all,
It's been a very long time since I've used this forum so apologies if this is in the wrong place - I did do a quick search already however could be wrong terminology.
I am TERRIBLE with icons with Android especially when every so often an update changes the look and feel of them.
Obvious ones on the phone are fine but the watch and its tiny icon view of the launcher/apps I always struggle to find what I want.
Is there a simple list view available for it? I'm pretty sure maybe the original Galaxy Watch (camera on the strap) had it but all subsequent Tizen and now Wear OS seem to be icon based.
Thanks
AJ
