Love the smartwatch, but the icons are terrible

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.

YouTube app suggestion please

I totally understand the concept of ADs but seriously getting killed on every video I watch with the native YouTube application. Can anyone recommend an alternative that maybe can block some of those ADs? I would also love an option to fast forward/ rewind ten seconds. Those r the only two options I need. Anyone?[emoji6]

I'm using FireTube (actually for listening music, because it works with screen off or with another application on top). By default it doesn't download video, but you can enable it with the button marked with yellow as you can see in attachment. I never saw or heard any AD with this app!

I see the Reminder app is a system app .
( so its not just a matter of coping apk from
one phone to another unless you have root )
Did you do all the Bixby updates .Did you disable anything
did you check if both phones, versions of Bixby .( if the same)
I am currently on Bixby v 1.9.26
Check your .... phone/settings /apps and see if it's listed in both phone .

Thanks guys. Yep its something to do with bixby never been used on my other phone

Question Alti-Barometer app with Tile on Watch4?

I have had the Watch4 Classic now for almost a week and I have to say I'm liking it very much. Coming from a Galaxy Watch (1). One omission that really bothers me is that they did not include an app like Alti-Barometer on the watch4. I used this app a lot for both the altimeter and barometer. It was very helpful. I have spent a fair amount of time looking for a similar Wear app with no success. I have found similar altimeter app that I'm using but struggling to find a barometer app that has graph and trend. Does anyone have a suggestion?
This is tile for app:

}
This is the altimeter and Barometer:
calugij did create a Wear app but apparently in order to use the automatic calibration, the app needs to access weather data from an API service. The API service is not free so the development of this app is suspended.

Here's a prior thread with some info:

Thanks galaxys. Should have done search. Interesting the bit about compass app though really looking for chart for both and trend in Barometer. I find it odd that there is not a good barometer Wear app. Hopeful that will be addressed at some point but not hopeful given how long Wear has been out. It is really a shame calugj's app development was suspended. That app looked perfect.

As you mentioned, it's a shame there is no chart or trend in the Galaxy watch 4 like previous Tizen watches all had....
