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.

Watch Face with Moving Seconds hand in AOD

This function isn't supported in Samsung Watch Designer even tho its a feature of several built in watch faces.
My understanding is that it's possible to implement this function by coding directly instead of using designer software.
Does anyone have something like this to share?

Yes it can be done but battery consumption is way worst than those optimized native watchfaces,. More info http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...=SDK&messageId=304069&topCtgy=03#postId304069

Who did it ?

I created the image in ambient mode in an editor outside the developer tool and loaded it with the hands, including the sweeping seconds hand, in normal mode within the developer tool. The effect is that I get a watchface on my Samsung S3 that looks like it is in ambient mode, and has all the functionality included that I need. Looks great at night.
Here's the watchface I created - see attached GWD of the TAG Carrera Heuer Fragment Watch.

Nice work @bilbobrian,
I've made some additions to your work if you're interested, I can post the package. I've used the white face that was in the image folder and added it as a double tap for a secondary background, and added a night mode. It changes to a dimmer setup between 11pm and 7am.

How to Install GWD on watch?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I guess via Samsung Galaxy Watch Designer app on your pc.

tag watch face
I really like this but am a newby and not sure of the steps to get it onto my Samsung Gear Sport. Would you be kind enough to share the steps?

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.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...o-calibration-notifications-and-more.4136449/

Here's a prior thread with some info:

Guys how can I find an Alti-Barometer application for my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic ? Anyone have any ideas, I would like to install the original one from the samsung store.

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....

Themes / Apps / Mods Artist Face on Galaxy Watch 4

As requested by some, I made a 2nd version of the artist face that is available on apple watches. Mimic its look on Galaxy watches or any Wear OS equipped device. It now has 5 different faces from which to choose. Each having its corresponding AOD look.
It's still not animated though, each face is predetermined, so you can't yet customize each look to your liking, like the hair color or clothes, etc. And backgrounds are still not available, as I'm still figuring out how to have each face have its own background color while allowing an option for a black background, similar to how some Samsung faces work.
Nevertheless, it completely works like a charm. Let me know what you think about it and what are the things you want for it to have in the future.
So yeah I guess apple fanbois are gonna hate me lol

Have you tried installing it via adb or any other program? There's a bunch of tutorials of installing apps on galaxy watches on youtube.

They're super nice watchfaces, thank you for making them, maybe in the future it would be nice that they keep their colors in the AoD.
How do you make them? I would like to try make some versions myself too.
