[App][watchfaces] App with a bunch of new watchfaces for your watch

Hi All,
We've released a new app with some (24) watchfafces. All of them are offline. (they don't need the phone to work)
The app has a combination of analogs and digital clocks and several sizes to combine with other widgets.
We are still working on adding more watchfaces and more widgets which will come is future updates.
We want to hear your opinion from this first bunch of watchfaces.
If you want to have a special watchface and don't know/want to make it, please post them here and we'll try to make them real in a new update of the app. We are waiting for your feedback!!
Hope you enjoy the app.
Oops. I almost forgot the link!!
Mod edit: Removed paid app link
× This app is incompatible with all of your devices.
Require Android 4.3 or 4.4?

i see 12 watch faces in the examples in the app store, if there is more, could you post a full list?
with pictures, that is
Nice app! I'm a fan of digital watch faces with large minutes and small hours. Is it possible to get that watchface with the large hours with the small minutes inset reversed (large minutes with small hours inset)?
Can you show all watchface? I try many clock widget but after that, I come back with default, because it easy to read when I run on the street

Watchface design
I've been trying to have an analog/digital watchface with the "custom watch for smartwatch" app. That app needs to be updated for the new firmware. Now, if you can make this one, then I will use your paid app instead. See attached images. The last one should show how the digital "lcd" windows fit over the dial design.
does not work correctly after the latest update, instead of minutes shows only the ones...e.g. instead 07:56 shows only 07: 6, the tenths of minutes are not visible. the face where the hours are big and the minutes are small...
weather widget please
I bought the app and love it, I have a suggestion, it would be a larger weather widget?, thanks and sorry for my English.

and there's some problem with the hours too, now showing inly 1 : 5 insted of 13:45.
We've just uploaded a new version of the app. (Give Google a hour or so to be live, new version is 1.0.3)
We've also updated our google play screenshots with ALL of our watchfaces.

Sorry about that. We messed the things up... It is fixed in the new version. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Posting the link again in case you want to check the new screenshots:

Thank you all!!!
awesome!
I just purchased the app and saw the one I wanted. Thank you, that was fast and awesome. I see that you have to work on those PNG graphics a bit. I want to provide you with the illustrator file I created for these graphics so you can improve the regularity of the dial (and maybe use a monochromatic background for the LCD windows so it looks better in the standby mode). If you prefer a photoshop layered file instead let me know; I can post it here or via PM, as you prefer.

Thanks, now it works OK, great app.
I like the app just that the watchface is not uploading fast on the watch. After I click the watchface, and press power on watch, I get the vertical lines for refresh, a long time till the watchface appear.
The day not change in the new analog clock

date is one day behind
I saw the date changed today but it remains one day behind. To the developer: please look into this; it may have some to do with the timezone set for the date not matching the timezone on the phone/clock. The watch faces with dates are unusable until this is fixed!

Who are you to judge what is lame or not? everyone is free to have their own aesthetic preferences; a reasonable adult would refrain to insult other people's choices.
The developer is giving you the option to submit your own design. If you want something different work on it and post it. That's what I did.

[Personal Review] Galaxy S7 edge Nougat beta firmware

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks
What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.
Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?
I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

thanks for the corrections, in stock nougat there is an extra option for the display scaling. I didnt look in the font scale thought its just the normal font scaling
Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.
It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.
I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

Update to 6.7.1 gave me Whatsapp Dark Mode

Just received a new update overnight. Still going through it but there's now a search bar in settings. One major difference is my whatsapp now has dark mode. I can only surmise that's because of the update because both my phones are on whatsapp beta but my Huawei doesn't have it.
Same for me!
Edit : just attached some examples of screens
Don't know if the post of my pictures worked. I edited the one above but still can't see them
A dark theme now also in Instagram, Snapchat, Aliexpress.

No longer able to get my live wallpaper to interact with AOD?

I'm pretty sure that I used to be able to get certain Pixel live wallpapers to interact with the ambient display, moving when notifications come in, or whatever. That no longer seems to be the case - am I delusional, or missing something obvious? Thanks!
I stopped getting the AOD interactions when I updated to Q beta.

Question No emoji/cinematic wallpaper with June update?

Hello! Just installed the latest beta (cheetah-tq3a.230605.012-factory-9cb9bc3f.zip) with Pixel Flasher (rooted). For some reason I don't see the cinematic wallpaper or the emoji wallpaper options... Any ideas? Am I the only one?
Same here, my guess is some app updates need to be pushed by google first.
Hmmmm thanks. I did try the Play Store, no updates here.
Update Emoji Workshop Wallpaper Play Store Emoji workshop wallpaper link & Pixel Live Wallpaper then hit restart you should be able to see Emoji Wallpaper in the wallpaper picker.
Hit if that works

Emoji not available for me, live wallpaper shows last updated back in February. Can you tell me what it says for you?
I'll try to find a mirror... Thanks!
Same, last update is 27 February and Emoji Workshop Wallpaper doesn't even exist for me.
You guys will eventually get the Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app. Can take a bit to get it after you update. Also, Cinematic Wallpaper needs a server side update, I believe.

You're probably right. Everything services, activities, etc is enabled for cinematic wallpaper and there's nothing of importance in its data/data folder.
They are both available to me after flashing the latest update. They show up under live wallpapers. The Cinematic Wallpaper isn't working for me (just shows black). The emoji wallpaper works, but the previews before setting it is buggy.

That said, a few minutes ago I launched Pixel Tips and went to Wallpapers from there, and this time it worked! Maybe (most possibly) by chance and how I launched it didn't have any bearing, but...
Cinematic wallpaper is still a no go for me, I don't even get the icon.

The Update has come... we hope Emoji Wallpaper and Cinematic Wallaper bring to Non Pixel Device via Ported APK <3
This is google's response:
1. Check if an android system intelligence update is available in Google play store.
2. Please leave the phone on idle, on Wifi, and charging overnight to trigger the update.
We have raised this issue with our engineers and sometimes features can take a while to rollout across all eligible users. If you're still unable to see this feature after 2-3 weeks please get back in touch with us.
