New user here guys so this maybe a stupid question, but where's the prod tools icon ??
Watched a few videos but cant see anything like that on mine.
See screenshots attached.
Click the text tool (the T) then click it again.
Not sure if that is what you want

It seems that the productivity tools button are not present in the Memo template...
(but are there in the other templates)
Am I wrong?

I'm just wondering if someone can elaborate on this a little bit and let us know how to fix this. I don't seem to have the productivity toolbar or haven't found where to select it. Specifically I can't do the handwriting recognition.
Thanks
The first icon enables or disables edit.
Next to this, in fact to the right of it, is a group of 4 icons.
The first is the drawing icon, next is the icon that you're looking for.
By double tapping it you can change between various features including formula, shape and text recognition.
Maybe this is common knowledge but I just discovered today that different templates have different functions embedded in them that apparently aren't available in other templates, e.g. long pressing on the contacts field in the meeting template allows you to bring up your contacts, you can also bring up a change date window in the date field etc.
In the diary you can change the weather icon types, in travel you can open maps app and import a clipping of an area and so on. It's very disappointing that you cannot seem to insert/use these fields in every note. The functions you want don't appear to be in a memo based note but are in others.

Agreed. This seems like quite an oversight on Samsung's part. You should be able to use all of the functionality regardless of the template. This took me a while to figure out until I watched their videos over again and picked up on this.

Same issue here. You have to pick a template to suit what you want to create. Its quite confusing. There also seems to be little documentation about what template has what tool.I can understand the floating note pad not having all tools but everything in the full snote app should have them. Maybe a tools toggle button to turn on and off what you want in the tool bar would make even more sense.
But i still enjoy the device

Hi. Pls let me know if you ever found out if the memo template has the productivity tools icon. I also can't find it.
productivity tools
To reach the handwriting to text, click on the productivity tools twice or hover over the button with your s pen and click once (looks like the shape button) a drop down menu will show up with the handwriting to text on the last options. Hopes this helps :fingers-crossed:
HI all
I have note 10.1 2014, and the snote does not have productivity tool icon in any template I have tried. Can someone help me?
The attached image is what I get in snote:

Anyone knows how to make a watch face with Gear Watch Designer with multiple background or index options?
I want to make a face with the option for the user to choose bg og index color, but I can't find out how.
There are several other faces with options so there must be a way to do this.
None?
No one wants to share? I know someone in here knows it!

There is a way to add "Actions" to things. I haven't played around with it too much but you can swap images on touch. That's what I had gathered.
Or they do it on Tizen SDK
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
What you could do is create new images with different merged backgrounds and indexes. You then add a background that has an index as part of the picture. With that image selected, go over to the right and choose action and create button. Click the action tab and under first drop down select change picture. You can then add up to six other pictures that have an index included. Align all the pictures to fit in the circle. Then once on a watch, you just tap the picture and it will cycle through the backgrounds with their indexes.

The program just requires some trial and error. I learned how to use it by modifying preexisting unlocked template faces.
Although it's fun to create something yourself, it's very easy to find practically any design that you want online.
You can leave the designs as they are, drastically change them in some way that suits you or just create something from scratch.
Next just sync the face to your watch via WiFi.
Furthermore, you can create a developer account and upload your own creations to sync with your Samsung account.
It literally took me 10 minutes to submit the developer application and get accepted.

I join the question. How to change the color of the arrows on tap, without prejudice to other functions. For example, I want to change the background color and the color of the hour and minute hands. At the same time, if you add different types of arrows to the "action" section, the background change function is blocked, since the layers are located below the arrows. I saw how the developers made a separate place on the screen for the function of changing the color of the arrows. But I did not understand how to do this.
Hi.
As some of you have expressed the desire to know how to create your own watch faces, I have started working on a tutorial. To begin with, it will be a slide presentation. I will also try to create a video tutorial, but time does not allow for that right now.
Here's a quick sampler. The aim is to create something that is easy to follow, where you can benefit from the 9 months of trial & error I went through to get from zero ability to a more advanced stage in using the Gear Watch Designer tool. I believe this fast-track method if used with sincerity will, hopefully, allow some of you to reach my level in perhaps 9 days, not nine months. Try out this sampler tutorial and see how easy it is to create nice watch faces. The components are also displayed, which you can save and use in the tutorial.
Thanks.

Hi.
If you received the recent update, then Samsung have now given you a share function. You should long press the watch face on your watch, it will bring up 2 icons. The one on the left is a share button. Press it and follow the prompts.
Otherwise, you can send your friend the GWD file for the watch face. However, they will need to load it in the Gear Watch Designer tool and build it to load onto their watch.
Thanks.

You could send a message to Samsung support to get clarification. As far as I know, they have not provided much info on how this new feature should work. I would not have expected it to have any connection with the app store, however, it would be good to know.

Hi.
No for both. Samsung has not given us the option to place moving objects or any motion in the AOD. Reason being, it was developed to stay on always and to save battery drain, they don't allow motion as yet.
Thanks.

You have to lower how bright the images are on the actual design for the AOD. When you select the images in GWD, move to the right panel and you can set brightness levels there (you can use opacity too). This includes hands, face, any image that is in the AOD.
I made a watch face way back in the days of GWD 1.2
I’d like to make another but my old head forgot how to add 3 things that the old one had.
1. Tap the top and battery % would show
2. Tap right and day and date would show
3. Tap left and steps would show
Could any kind person point me in the right direction to achieve this in GWD 1.5
Promise I will write it down for next time.
Kind regards,

The process is pretty much the same for all 3.
- In the left side add Text box (Normal Text), place it where you want to press each function
- On the right side in the "Properties" top right side click the down arrow next to the 3 horizontal bars and "Set as button"
- Choose the Action tab.
- In the drop down next to "Action", select "Open App", and choose the app you want to open.
Edit** and you have to set each text font opacity slider to 0% so the text becomes see through

Many thanks for your reply.
It has now brought back some of old memories of doing it years ago and the job is done.
The only question I'd like to ask is, how to delete old/unwanted watch feces from GWD? It seems to keep files at 3 different places on my computer and I'm sure it's embedded in some file like log or xml. After deleting the old .gwd and .tpk files, they still show up when GWD started.

Have anyone found a way to change the animation fps in the 1.5 version?
Is it possible to build customizable watchfaces in gear watch designer? Fx include 5 different color versions? And if.. how?
Creating a watch face for my brother when I don’t have a watch
So my brother told me that if I learned how to make a watch face, he would wear WHATEVER face I created for a week.
Long story short, I’ve created a really nice Hello Kitty one. There is a little icon where the Kitty’s red bow starts to disappear as the battery goes down. I’m pretty impressed with myself.
So is it possible to get him the watch face when I don’t even have a watch? I tried to build it, but it looks like it requires me to test it out on my own (non-existent) watch.
Thoughts?
Hi,
I know how to create an Action and assign a Tap or Double-Tap action to change an image, but if I am using a digital watch face and want to tap to change the color of the time display (as opposed to a background image), how would I go about doing that?
For example, if my default digital watch face shows the time digits in red, how can I set an action to change it to orange upon the Tap Action, then yellow, then green, etc.?
Thanks in advance!

There are a ton of watch faces out there that change their font color when you tap on the time digits. Surely someone knows how to create this effect in GWD. Alternatively, is there a way to view the xml from purchased or downloaded watch faces on my watch? Just to view the code for that action?
Thanks in advance!!
i was curious about the same thing.
so what i did was copied the .wgt file of a face that had that feature as it was being sent to my watch. root is needed to intercept the transfer from phone to watch.
renamed to .zip, unzipped and looked through the files.
its hard to explain but there is no special coding in the xml for this. it is basically using layers and a transparent png as a font.
i have never shared a gwd file so not sure if you can but i am willing to do a very basic time face and send it to you, if you would like. i will include all files so you can see what is happening.
let me know.

Ok, so i started writing a "how to" and it got way out of control, :silly:.
I cant take any credit for this, all i did was pull apart someone elses work and learn from it. The attached is my work but built in the same way as the other person did it. I hope this doesnt upset anyone. I will never share the original persons work.
I have attached all the files you need for this to work including my gwd file & tpk file. Im not sure if you will be able to import it into your GWD but give it ago. if not start a new face and rebuild it from the resources.
At any point you get stuck let me know and i will help you out.

Everything worked like a charm! I got one error about the TPK needing to be rebuilt when trying to deploy to my watch (unsure of the issue), but I chose only version 3 and it worked perfectly. Maybe my watch needs to have OS 4? I have a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier.
Anywho - now I am going to learn how bitmap fonts work and how to convert a TTF font that I own, to a bitmap font. :good:
This is awesome! Thanks again for helping me get over this hurdle. It was a big one for me. :laugh:

i am using gwd 1.6.1 i think which lets you build for os 4.0 and lower.
the font in the example was the fortnite font.
very simple task but very boring to make, but you will only need to do once for each digit 0-9.
are you familiar with adobe illustrator or photoshop?
simply make the canvas the size you need with the same colour or pattern of the face, type a single number, adjust its size so it just fits height and width, cut it out so the number is transparent, save it as a png to preserve the transparency.
much more to it but like i said let me know if you get stuck.
regarding the background cut to make, i think i made it 200px wide and 80px high.
so that means you can fit 4 digits at 50px wide X 80px high, which is important for making the font.

Makes sense. I have Photoshop so will upgrade GWD and open the files up in Photoshop to have a look. Thanks again!
I got the set-up working with my own bitmap font and clickable button to change the colors - the caveat now is when a single digit shows up - the mask layer shows up from underneath the single digit, since it gets centered, and the mask is only half the width (one digit's width as opposed to two digit widths).
See my picture of both cases (still need to work out anti-aliasing artifacts).
Any ideas on how to work around that, yet still only use single digit hours?
EDIT: Just to be clear: my background is black, so other than the digits, there should be no purple color coming through as shown for the single digit of one.
Thanks,
Swoop

hey swoop,
good to see you making progress.
just off the top of my head
at the the bottom of the screen is a time line. so you could make 2 backgrounds and have 1 apear between the hours of 1 to 9 and the other from 10 to 12.
read about the conditional lines,
https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy-watch/design/watch-designer/gear-watch-dev
to fix the auto centering maybe align your text to the right so a single digit will snap right when changing.
i use only 24hr time, not sure why but always have. if i get time i will try it out and see.
regarding artifacts, i generally use illustrator, which produces cleaner images. if you dont have illustrator you can dowload a free alternative called inkscape, i think, or an online vector converter.
i always make an image twice as large if possible then clean it up and scale it down. im still learning also, so what i do may not be right but it works for me.
in the mean time let me know if what i said is right.
Thanks, Stealo.
I have Adobe CS 6 with Illustrator, so will try that next as well as start working on a timeline-based position of the background. Great idea! That way, I can leave the single digits centered (I hope), which looks better in my design.
Cheers!

hey sorry, dont use xda as much anymore.
You need to have a rooted device (phone/tablet) first, and a good file explorer, no root needed on watch at all. i cant give specifics as i dont use the devices anymore, i can try and point you in the right direction though.
what i did was monitor a folder in the WEAR app root directory on my phone, when i downloaded an app from the store it would store it on my phone for maybe ten seconds, then transfer to my watch.
Using your file explorer you can copy it and paste it to a new location before the transfer ends.
Rename it .zip, extract, learn and explore.
Like i said i am not 100% if it is still possible as i no longer use both devices. Please dont steal anybodies work though.
Good luck.

You need to have a rooted device (phone/tablet) first, and a good file explorer, no root needed on watch at all. i cant give specifics as i dont use the devices anymore, i can try and point you in the right direction though.
what i did was monitor a folder in the WEAR app root directory on my phone, when i downloaded an app from the store it would store it on my phone for maybe ten seconds, then transfer to my watch.
Using your file explorer you can copy it and paste it to a new location before the transfer ends.
Rename it .zip, extract, learn and explore.
Like i said i am not 100% if it is still possible as i no longer use both devices. Please dont steal anybodies work though.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I have root on my s8 so i could try, but wear app folder is a bit generic. Without knowing the folder's name i wouldn't know where to look.
Thanks again

is It possible to change with double tap, one object's color that moves ? (such as the second hand)

I want to know the same thing. Basically I want to to double tap on say 3 o'clock area and have hour hand change images/color. How is this possible? Yes, you can change background defining itself as a buton and add "change image" action but how can you change other layer images by double tapping on another layer?
After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now
