Wouldn't it be nice if...

... if you could swipe left / right on the watch and scroll through your custom watchfaces configurations?
This way you'd have everything in place according to the situation, like having a watchface for sports with counters and music controls, then with one swipe you put your watch in the office configuration with calendar and email, or in navigation mode for riding a motorcycle.
Any takers of such a task?

hmm, well, i don't plan to change my watch face often, so switching in the SW2 app is enough for me
also, this would be something for Sony to implement...

Thank you for sharing your opinion.
On one side I tend to agree with you - in the end this is just a watch and a single watchface should suffice, provided you can squeeze in all your necessary widgets.
However, due to the recent developments in the custom widgets area I DO feel the need to have more than a single configuration available preferably through a simple gesture.
I wonder if this could be achieved by means of swipe or some sort of navigation widget or even a menu that would allow you to switch between your custom (not built-in) watchface configurations (3 would suffice)

I couldn't agree with you more, can't believe Sony haven't implemented this! Surely they've thought of it?
Have you tried contacting them? Would be a simple implementation for them.

I would rather not turn my hopes to Sony - they did a great job with the updates but they take too long to move or respond to their users, if at all.
Rather than this being a firmware level functionality I thought it more in the terms of a "dynamic" shortcut application that would increment or decrement a slot number based on the swipe direction (left-/right+) and then trigger (after a very short timeout) the built in selector to display the corresponding watchface for the resulting slot #.
Of course, this app would have to run in the background to capture the swipes when the screen is on.
Alternatively, this could be achieved with 2 widgets - left/right - no swipe would then be necessary.

Nobody has hacked the on watch software as far as I know, so it would have to come from hacking the phone watch designer, I guess as you mention via watchface widgets. Asking manu0466 for thoughts would be a good place to start, as he's already hacked the software in some way.

I'm sorry, but you got me wrong - I was talking about an app that would use the new widget capability of the watch, NOT about a hack of any sort.
Maybe someone who understands the limits of the Sony SDK could shed a light on this matter?

So you'd need widgets whose functionality and design can change dynamically.
While possible, I think that would be a complicated way of achieving the objective, considering the interaction with different apps by different developers.
There would have to be a middle layer added in, interacting with a watch face widget on one side and various apps on the other.

You don't need to open the smartwatch app on your phone to change the watch face, just unlock the watch and go into settings/watch face

The challenge would be to replace this action on the watch with a tap on a widget or, better yet, with a swipe gesture.

Tasker and CM Profiles

Hi
I love the profiles but can't see a way of getting them to be triggered by time for instance.
Is there a way of doing it in Tasker or Trigger?
In Tasker, and using a Settings Activity, the closest I can get is to launch the profiles pane but not set anything.
Cheers.

As a work around you could remake the profiles in Tasker an trigger them as a Task.

Nice, another Brightonian with the OPO!
I was actually wondering the same thing yesterday, I didn't find any answers though.

I'm just using the Trigger app and the profiles I saved to it's cloud from my Z2. All good for now.

Wearable Widgets for Gear 2

Wearable Widgets (beta) for Gear 2 is just out on the Samsung store. You can now use any mobile widget to show up on Gear 2 screen. The feature is really great and you can also control the widget from gear 2 like pass touch inputs to phone.
I have enabled zooper widget and use it to show time and weather and call tasker objects.
It is a bliss on Gear 2
Check it out.
You can join the google+ community by clicking on going to below link

This app is made by Udell Enterprises Inc

Awesome
This is a GREAT app!

Awesome app! One of the most useful apps available. Thanks!

SUPER ! ..Can I just add one widget?

Awesome. I installed it immediately. Off course for Tasker. I use Launch-X widget in which i create the shortcuts. But i find it to slow, especially when the phone is off.
I also used it to display my tasks, so i could read and fill in the items into another task app. Of the first section it was perfect. But when the screen of the watch is off and turned on again, the widget is reset for the first items. Not to the last scrolled position.

You can add only one widget per device..
I use zooper to add only my functions as a single widget.. Calendar, time , date , battery life and tasker icons

I can not open the widget on my watch anymore. It is saying "Unable to connect. Do you have Wearable Widgets on your phone?"
Already rebooted my watch AND my phone. Still the same.

Uninstall then reinstall from Gear Manager.
Here's mine so far

Works great. Will you be able to add the ability to have more than one widget per device? It would be nice to be able to scroll through at least 4 or 5 of them. Thanks for the hard work.

If you read the first post, you'd know the dev of this app isn't the OP. To answer your question though, the dev left this on G+
"Clarification for Gear 1 & 2 owners: Currently, the Wearable Widgets app has two editions, both with a significant limitation:*
• The one available through Google Play (including this beta group) does not support Gear 1 & 2 devices.
• The one you can download through Samsung's app store (including via the Gear Manager app) only supports a single widget at a time.
The reasons for this are complicated, but are generally due to a number of restrictions that Samsung has put in place. We are working to develop a solution to both of these issues, and will release it as soon as we can - but for now, this is how things stand, I'm afraid.
Thank you for your understanding, and your patience."

Just change the setting for what is shown on wake to last app / screen.

That means I need to go to the wearable widgets app continually before I am 'done' doing whatever I'm doing

The developer has indicated they are working on the ability to make this a watch face. I am looking forward to that update.

This just rocked my world... I don't know why I didn't think of that. Duh. Thank you.

Thank You
That's great, Thank You.

As I've been using it - I actually don't mind having it not be the main watchface. What I've done instead is make it accessible from one of the 9 shortcuts from the Multi-Watch "swipe-up" launcher panel. That way I can still have the customizable watchfaces of multi-watch, but when I want I can launch an info panel widget that has time, date, watch battery level, currently connected wifi SSID, current weather w/ 5-day forecast AND my next 3 calendar appointments. Using a customized Zooper widget for this. I've made a request to Zooper to allow adding Google tasks list items and the phone's volume state to a widget.

[APP][ROOT][2.2+]ScreenOff - Soft Screen Off(Respects Smart Lock Feature) v1.2/v2.0b

Hi,
Important : Requires ROOT
This is a simple App that emulates the click of Power Button.
Handy when u want to reduce wear and tear of the physical button or if the button is not working.
Currently the following method of Trigger are available:
- Using the Swipe Up Assist action which usually opens the Google Now App
- Application icon (In Launcher)
- Shortcut
- Intent Support - Use 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF' as Intent action to trigger screen off from ANY App, including TASKER
Following are planned to be added:
- Widget (Is it Needed?? )
- Tasker Extension
Advantage over other similar apps in Market:
The usual 'Screen Off' 'Screen Lock' Apps that are available in market, makes the 'Smart Lock' feature introduced in Lollipop not work. Also this makes the timeout period set in the 'Automatically Lock' security settings to not work.
Since my App uses shell commands (and hence the need for Root) to emulate Power Button press, both Smart Lock and 'Automatically Lock' settings work.
Disclaimer:
AFAIK should not cause any problems in any device since nothing dangerous is being used. But still the usual disclaimer : ' I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, hand, home etc... LOL '
Have tested so far in the following Mobiles. Would be glad if others test it out in various mobiles and report here.
Nexus 5
HTC One X
Change Log:
v0.1 - 5th Jan:
- Initial Version with only Google Now Swipe gesture support
v0.2 - 8th Jan:
- Added the following:
Application launcher
Shortcut
Intent Support : 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF'
v1.0 - 18th Jan:
Modified code to support more Devices. Probably must work in all Android devices irrespective of Android Version
v1.1 - 20th Jan
Shouldn't be showing in recents anymore
v1.2 - 20th March
Added icon for the swipe up gesture
Fixed a bug that was causing adding shortcut to crash in certain launchers(AFAIK GEL based)
v2.0b - 30th March
Adding a new material icon - thanks to @slider112

AFAIK, If we use tasker to screen off, it will immediately lock and would not respect the Smart Lock feature. Please correct me If am wrong.
Regarding the gesture bringing up the magazine app, have u configured the swipe up gesture do that by default ? Or After installing this App,the swipe up gesture got assigned to it?

Does the gesture that opens the magazine app, work on custom launcher?? If no, I Guess that gesture is part of Samsung launcher and can't be overridden without launcher replacement

Regarding overriding the swipe up gesture in ur Note 3 , I think it might be possible with an Xposed module. I have never written one, so not Sure. I am ready to try to make a Xposed module, If it's ok for u to test it out in ur mobile (have no previous experience in writing Xposed module, so a word of caution )

I have tried that mod already it doesnt replaes the gesure action.

Gear Watchface Maker help

hi guys
thanks to walther first up for the whole sdb business, lucky enough to just click on the run on device button and then its on my watch
my issue is that i really like the weather app (i know lame)
but the issue is that there isnt a weather app option
then i noticed the schedule link is only to the calender but not to the agenda like appearance you can choose as a widget
wanting to know if anyone knows a work around for these type of things
namely, how would i push the weather detail to the text box
and/or the app id ( under action, action detail custom) for the calender widget
and thus how do i even find app ids
sorry it might be stupid but i got one arm (post OT) and bored and wanting to learn ...
thanks

I'm wondering about adding weather and calendar info to the watch screen with gear watch designer as well. I was thinking if you could create a dummy text box and then import the project into the full sdk it might be doable. Anyone know if this is possible?

I would like to create an action that leads me directly to settings > communication > bluetooth option like a shortcut from the watch face. It would be great if watch designer has some place to code small scripts like query data from apps and present the info as complications! Like get weather data from weather app or even query the web through Gear manager app to get data and present.

APP ID
Does anyone know´s what i have to wirte there for open an app like Task2s or another?

messing around with animations...
can anyone share how to add a condition for an animation?
for example i want a pinwheel sequence to rotate when there is a notification. the samsung tutorial tells you that it can be done but doesn't show the steps to set the condition. step 3 in Add Animations: "Smart components let you associate additional actions with objects. You can specify actions based on conditions."
