Love the smartwatch, but the icons are terrible - Sony Smartwatch

Hi there! I returned Galaxy Gear and got SM2 instead. So far I'm happy with it, but I just can't stand the icons on my watch. They are really terrible and whole different style than the ones I'm using on my phone. Is there any way to change them? Editing APK? Connecting SmartWatch to PC?
Looking for help!
Thanks.

no galaxy s3 support which is ridiculous (if not custom rom, then my phone would still be on 4.1.2 version of android). tried custom rom slimbean 4.3 and galaxy gear just do not pair, do not even show current time until connected through bluetooth. too many troubles with it.

WOW a SmartWATCH !
Be no good for me, my fingers would cover half the screen at a time :laugh:

i had some luck with editing the icons! i just backuped up the original APK and replaced some graphic files inside, signed apk and installed again. not all apk work this way though, but the smartwatch looks so much better now.
and yeah, these are ios icons.
if you press on music icon it gives you control over poweramp music player on my s3, and if i press the maps icon it show me current location on the map.

Display full screen picture on AOD

Hi All,
I got my S8+ couple weeks ago and I am still try to figure everything out. After all, this is a totally different beast compare to my old Samsung Note2 (but still come with loads of bloatware...).
I was able to put my son's picture on Always On Display, but, for me, it's kind of small. Is there a way to display it with the full screen or even the half of the screen will be nice?
nope
Not worried about screen burn-in?

Look mate i have a galaxy s7 edge with AOD since release. I opt for a pretty low backlight lightening. And i never ever hade a problem with burn in. Same goes with the s8+ or normal s8. Keep the backlight on a normal level and dont be worried.

You can use apktool to decompile /recompile : you need to edit values.xml change the first '400dip' to '650dip', then drag your own images into xxxDrawable, and finally edit the smali AODposition data change all iget for mCurY to mCurX. Once recompiled, drag old apk metaINFO, SECinf and androidmanifest from the open archive into the new archive (just open apks with winzip)

Gear S3 Not Compatible? Can't install apps or use Samsung Pay...

So I pair my Gear S3 with my PH-1 and got that all going just fine. Pairing another phone always involves resetting the watch so I have to go download a few apps afterwards and I can't! I get an error from the Gear app's store saying "This device does not support Gear."
Everything else has worked fine up to this point.
Also looks like I can't install/use Samsung Pay for it either.
Super lame.
Had this problem on the mi mix and the G6. I'm pretty sure Samsung has to update the app... It got updated pretty quickly for the G6 but never got fixed for the mix... Pretty much a crap shoot on if they will update it or not.
S3 works perfect on my mi mix running resurrection. Got the s3 to connect to my essential but software crashes when I try to install Samsung pay.

Ya, I'm paired and running ok. Getting notifications and all that. Just no additional apps or Samsung Pay.

It didn't used to work on the stock rom on the Mix. Maybe it does now, not sure as I don't have a Mix anymore or a Gear s3..lol
I don't think Samsung knows WTF they're doing. Just chatted with support about this (after being directed to one support site based on my Play Store review that later told me that wasn't the right place to go)...
Here's how that went:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I MIGHT try to chat again and get a different person but this is ridiculous. They apparently want Essential to update their phone, because it is new, to work with the Gear app...

Should be doable, lots of watch Face creation apps. However the shape will never really fit with the round gw shape, just so you appreciate that

I use Pujie black, works a treat, but there's loads of watch Face editors for wear os

Themes / Apps / Mods Artist Face on Galaxy Watch 4

As requested by some, I made a 2nd version of the artist face that is available on apple watches. Mimic its look on Galaxy watches or any Wear OS equipped device. It now has 5 different faces from which to choose. Each having its corresponding AOD look.
It's still not animated though, each face is predetermined, so you can't yet customize each look to your liking, like the hair color or clothes, etc. And backgrounds are still not available, as I'm still figuring out how to have each face have its own background color while allowing an option for a black background, similar to how some Samsung faces work.
Nevertheless, it completely works like a charm. Let me know what you think about it and what are the things you want for it to have in the future.
So yeah I guess apple fanbois are gonna hate me lol

Have you tried installing it via adb or any other program? There's a bunch of tutorials of installing apps on galaxy watches on youtube.

They're super nice watchfaces, thank you for making them, maybe in the future it would be nice that they keep their colors in the AoD.
How do you make them? I would like to try make some versions myself too.
