Creating Animated Watch Faces - Samsung Gear S2

Is this possible? I know with the app Mr Time Maker, you can make custom watch faces but it only allows .png file types.

no because they are totally useless.

There not supposed to be useful. Some of the most expensive watches in the world are animated. There meant to be seen and enjoyed. That's the whole point.

Sorry but need to jump in here. Are you effin' serious? Name one!? Please enlighten me.
It's a gimmick. A novelty. An crApple seller.
None of the most 'expensive' watches are animated. Get real. An expensive watch as you so phrased it is a pain-staking mechanical precision work of art that has taken hundreds of years to refine. Do yourself a favour, google.com.

Get over your fake outrage......You took what I said out of context. The OP was asking about a way to make animation on watch faces. Many real expensive watches show, the gears moving, on the face of the watch. So in order for the OP to make a watch face for his Gear s2, he would need the software to allow animation for the gears or other things, like the real one in real life. So it was that context that I was speaking of.
I wasn't talking about animation in that sense, more inline that real ones have motion or movement.
Its a bit petty to get so bothered over something so small, that you felt you had to be rude, and its favor not favour.

Haha. Back pedal much. No worries it's ok.
It's favour.
Animation software doesn't cost a lot unless licensed.

Sure thing guy, and no it's favor. Cry more.

Good form. I'm English. Colour me not bothered.
Going to go cry now. Mummy the internets are scaring me
Back on subject. I've requested tweaks more layers etc. to the creator of the app. Hopefully we'll see some updates to this effect. Who knows.

I don't think I have ever seen a perfectly sensible thread derail so quickly into insults!
Anyway, I just downloaded Gear7 by Liongate from the store. It shows moving gears in the face. It's well done imo. Is that what you mean?

if the question is whether this can be done, yes, for sure.
I'm making my watchfaces and I usually anime a little. I do it from the edc file

Sorry my bad. Lack of sleep and missing the context. I made an ass out of me (assumed) it was referring to Apple animations et al. Gears, cogs what have you are already preinstalled right? Haven't received mine yet.
Apologies HolyGrail

There are animated snow globes in the watch face gallery so its been done. I'll be curious to see what you find out.

Hello folks.. I made an animated watchface for my gear 3, it shows animation on Mr. Time maker but after it transfers to my watch, it doesn't move... anything I can do to make work? I used an animated PNG as background...

Nike + Running app

Hi
The Nike Running+ app on my samsung galaxy s6 edge has updated to "Nike+ run Club"
So now the watch will not connect to Nikes' "Running +" app om my gear S2. My watch says " install Nike + Running, log in and start runnning.
This happened after I updated phone app.
Anyone else has this problem? I cannot find and update for my Gear S2!
So nowI cannot sync my runs from watch to phone..
Same problem here.
I have the same issue. Keeps wanting me to install nike+ on my phone which is already there. Tried u installing and reinstalling but no change. Given Nike+ isnt eve in the Samsung appstore for the S2, I doubt we will see an update to the watch app until there is a firmware update. Big fail IMO as this was the only running app available for the S2.
Has anyone got this to work yet? Miss not having run tracking on my wrist.
The Nike+ app was as buggy as anything in my honest opinion over the last few firmware updates. No new features. It just got worse and worse. The last firmware update brought some improvements but it would appears more new bugs with it too. As I see it, Samsung's strategy is to move everyone away from Nike+ and attract more people to their own "in-house" tracking app being the S Health program. Just look at how S Health has evolved over the last few updates compared to the orphaned Nike+ app. I guess Samsung just wants the name in there to suck in as much money as possible. Moving consumers from a big name they know and trust to an in-house brand is difficult though.
I would have thought that since these wearable devices are non-essential that they would be pouring more resources into getting them working right and keeping it that way with improvements on top to keep a polished reputation and attract more customers in the long run. Have you noticed that Ebay for Gear S2 has been pulled out too?
What are your thoughts?
I will have to give S-Health another try. Never found it as accurate as others as it bases (or based) distances on step counts. Wish the major players like MapMyRun, Runtastic, RunKeeper would develop apps for Tizen. Fingers crossed with the S3 now announced, that these players will be more likely to consider it.
The Nike Running App is now totally orphaned. Nike have updated their mobile phone app and have made it totally incompatible as a result. Try firing up your Nike+ app now. It will advise you to install the Nike app on your phone, even though it's already installed. Therefore, we now have one integrated, uninstallable, orphaned useless fitness app on our flagship Samsung Smartwatch and another featured app, the 'Ebay for gear' which has been discontinued before the release of the next flagship. Anyway, you already knew that, my point was, that I checked on the Nike Support Twitter stream and saw that other people like us who own this watch are asking Nike to give us some information about where to go from here. Nike support simply say they are passing on our expression of interest onto their appropriate department. No commitment from their side really at all. It's all rather disappointing.

Apple takes another bite
Nike has a brand new special edition Apple watch out today. I'm sure Apple made them sign an exclusive deal, so they had to kill support for the gear. What else could explain the sudden death of the app? What a waste. What really bugs me is that Endomondo had an app for the gear 2 (all Tizen friendly and everything), but they haven't ported it to the S2, even if you subscribe. So lame. Glad I kept that old watch around.

How do you find/install old versions of apps? Do you have to flash a new ROM? I'm kind of a n00b in that respect.

There are all sorts of apk mirror sites, google around a bit for reputable ones and you should be able to find it pretty easily. I did a side by side comparison running with a friend and did find that Nike + isn't all that accurate on my watch. It was off by a good 1/4 mile, maybe just the GPS on my watch?

Since the last update, the app still doesnt work.
Hello, i had the same problem too.
ANd the new app Nike Run Club (even last version 2.2.1) is too buggy ! (No connection mith Gear S2, music stop, no coment, screen off, etc. And nike remains deaf to customer reviews that detect all the same bugs)
So a download the 1.6 version on APK Mirror and, it works.
I'm looking for another app to replace nike run club, and that could retrieve all my races, any idea ?
What the heck is wrong with this people. First we lost the Samsung Milk, Now Nike Running. What do they want? Sell the gear s and do not use anymore? So stupid new generation software engineering thats basicly what it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the info it workd now. But how much education you need to coordinate this with samsung? Either do not push the updates if you know Samsung watches will not work, or say something.
Basicly they do not care about the watch owner and they say, hey we have.more individual app owners than watch owner so lets push the updates

only asking because like Steve Jobs said "great artists steal". you can always grab a famous but clearly disfunctional or outdated app and say "this is how it should be", and who knows, you might even sell it to the company youre helping
in end it look like a 8 to 10 month project.
i just want tit look like i have made something and it appreciated in the last....... and something new is also be completed in the project... which is problem solving

Low Temperature when Charging

I know this is one of those beaten to a pulp topics, but i am curious about this situation.
I took my phone in to a private business and they were unable to repair it.
So, i am currently able to charge it by placing it on my warm laptop and topped off with a snuggle blanky Canadian toque. If that had failed i do have genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings.
Am i doing the device harm is what i really want to know. It'll charge, and the battery performs very well. It mostly bothers me that i cannot use the toque during charging.
But as asked earlier, is this a bad idea?

in all seriousness, if its taking a charge only when its able to retain heat, then God knows whats wrong with it. Call the priests from the exorcist, they could use a good spewing of green pea soup again!
Ok but first tell me how you read it.
Was it, "Toe-cue," or, "Two-qwa?"

That's what i figured. I'm not replacing the motherboard or really going to do anything that costs a lot. I'll just use it as such until i'm offered a new phone in a couple months. I will then probably donate it to someone on XDA. But i doubt anyone would bother without access to my laptop and mysterious toque method.

Nice. The device also has no functioning back/recents but works quite well with the XDA navbar. And a crack in the screen that does not have any impact on functionality. It's not all that attractive. Running my version of the firmware extremely well though :laugh:
