Request - Tasker Interface

Hi All,
Would be great if someone could develop a means of launching Tasker tasks from the Gear S2.
Ideally (my opinion) this would create a number of gear apps on the watch that could be assigned to launch chosen tasks (apps: task 1, task 2, task 3...).
This would allow easy launching of tasks (task apps) assigned to the gear's app shortcut widget.
To illustrate I've attached 2 images. The first shows the Gear S2's app shortcut widget.
The second shows how the shortcuts could be correlated to launch tasks if the tasks were assigned as apps (image from WearTasker a Tasker launcher for Android Wear - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuberob.weartasker&hl=en).
Will value your thoughts.. Is this feasible? Does a Tasker launcher face the same difficulties as faced when porting Tasker to the older Tizen smartwatches or is there an easier way to only launch tasks on a connected phone?
Cheers

yeah
push..any ideas?

Yeah. A dirty method (requires some setup on the Tasker side) but this might be easier to develop: Autoremote is a tasker plugin that lets you react to commands sent via various communication methods including URL calls.
http://joaoapps.com/autoremote/direct/
It might be possible to create a number of S2 apps that each call a specific Autoremote URL (in the background without displaying anything on the watch, or quickly closing the app once the url has been called - for a cleaner UI/no UI other than launching the tasks themselves). These URLs would be set up to trigger Tasker tasks, so opening an app would trigger a Task.
Additionally there would have to be a method of assigning a URL to each S2 app.
This is beyond my ability, but maybe someone would be up to it?
WearTasker is a Tasker app for Android Wear that also produces 3 apps in the app drawer that allow you to launch Tasks directly from there. Maybe we should try to reach out and see if they can do the same for the S2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuberob.weartasker

No Tasker app for the Tizen Gear 1 & 2 & S since few years, so for the S2......

I would really be interested in this also. Would be great to be able to control my home automation via my Gear S2!

No, he said the app will be paid...

Well, it will be paid, but I do care about non-Samsung community. One walkaround I can think of is release the gear app free so everyone can download it, but I will charge the android app. I don't know if anyone has done this before :-/
Have you guys used any apps like that? Can the android app and the gear works together?
Another issue that may come up is that many users may think this is a scam because the app is actually not "free" and rate it bad. I really don't want to mess up this release.

I don't know what you plan on charging but I know writing apps takes time so I will gladly pay instead investing my own time if not necessary.
Hopefully support and updates will be good

I'm actually looking for a simple watch face. Simple as in no fancy design. Digital clock, watch power, weather, date, next appointment. Maybe phone power as well. Similar to the Apple Watch with the selected complications/widgets.

It can be done. I've only seen one developer do it though. One of his apps is called Calendar Analog Watch by Alex Rokhlov. Think he's out of Russia. He puts a free watchface with limited functionality on the Gear apps store. The app requires an Android companion app off the Plays store to work. To unlock all the premium features you do it through a purchase on the Android companion app. It's basically the same system anyone uses to make money off of app development for Pebble smartwatches.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shu.gear.calwatchanalog&hl=en
I think what you want to do from a marketing perspective is do a free version that is limited. Maybe can only fire off one task through tasker. And then for a couple bucks you can unlock the full featured version of the app that will let you have X amount of tasks available. Maybe check out what other app makers did on Pebble and with Tasker, like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kodek.pebbletasker&hl=en

Gear S2 Watch face with an AMBIENT MODE that is more than basic 2 clock hands?

Almost all of the watchfaces default to just the same two watch hands or the digital time when in Ambient Mode whereas many Android Wear faces remain always on with full detail and equal battery life (LG Watch R & Urbane for example). Are there Gear S2 watchfaces with more than this basic design?? It seems that this is a major disadvantage in day-to-day appearance. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

search for Tuner Watchface - Military. The watch has the same ambient hands as the regular face. This has been my favorite face because of the ambient mode. So they can be done, we are just very early to the game and developers are lacking at the moment.

"Clocki (Style 01)" is a good digital watch with a good ambient mode. The ambient mode shows the date and battery level. I tried to take a pic but the forums wont let me link it. This developers other faces have ambient mode support too.

Yes I agree, this one of the things I'm liking least about this watch. Even if if the ambient mode had some simple hour markers it would be a lot better.

Can you set your brightness to level 1 & 2 and see if the always on screen is brighter than both?

Ambient mode is brighter than 1 and 2 setting. About level 3 I would say.

Ambient mode with notification flag

I´m also looking for a watchface with an ambient mode who gives me also a notification flag in ambient mode. Howelse can I see an incomming notification (only by looking at the watch without tapping on it), when i didn´t realize the vibration, when it comes in ?? I didn´t find any like that yet

I was looking at the sdk and it kind of makes it appear there are only 2 ambient modes analog and digital with no real indication there is a way to customize them.

Came across this one. It's got calendar integration if you're like me and use your calendar a lot. Different colors represent upcoming appointments. Has a companion app on the Play Store that has a premium version for $1.50.

Flaunt app solves this
You can search for an app called Flaunt on the Gear Store (accessible via the Gear app). This app let's the main watch face remain for 30 mins and does not revert to the ambient mode. Developer is Samsung Electronics India so might just be available in India but worth checking as it might just be available globally.

Desk Clock has a nice ambient digital watch face. It has a lot of settings and you can have custom colors. I set mine to 24hr mode in a nice green color. I have noticed that the ambient mode is picky on the color and brightness settings you use, but when you find a combination you like its awesome.

This is what I've been complaining about. There's lots of good looking watch faces but most have lame and ugly ambient ones. My point is that the ambient one suppose to be elegant cos is the one we look at the most to check the time and notifications. If you are able to make theme. Make the ambient one to look as good

I like the Snoopy and Woodstock watchface. And the ambient mode is just a black and white version of it. Looks pretty cool, IMO.

I suggest you try Spiderweb and dark chic watchfaces from Watchmaster. The last one is actually free right now and spiderweb is at around 1$, but they both have excellent ambient screen. In fact, spiderweb actually looks like a regular watch.

Man what is up with the search feature of the Gear app? I have been having issues for about a week. Search on dark chic and it prompts me with the correct title and then doesn't link to the watch face. The only way I could find it was to choose a WatchMaster face and there was a link to it in the "also by" section. Other faces I get what appears to be a correct link, but when I click on it I get "no data" error message.
I did get Dark Chic and it's a great watch face! Thanks for the lead.

For anyone who hadn't noticed, the built-in Modern Utility face now has hour markers in the ambient mode with the new update that the non-3G versions in the US this week. Special Edition has them also.

I can create one for you what else do you need on it? (i got mine as hr,min hands/heartrate/date/digital time/second hand-sweep no tick) ill post a picture of a sample soon-ish

I have several watch faces that have nice ambient modes:
Pavilion by Liongate
Blanche by Annie & Montre
CWF Aquarius by CWF
And, all of these were free.

A rant about the Gear Apps Store

Samsung really needs to do something about the store and put some requirements around the way people upload their apps.
Watch faces do not belong in "Utilities" or "Social Networking" or "Lifestyle" unless they have meaningful real functionality that applies. All this cross-posting of watch faces everywhere just pollutes the store.
No trial or demo mode seems to exist and there is no refund policy (like the 2 hour one on the Play Store). You buy a watch face that looks good on the listing but looks like crap on your wrist and you're stuck with it. You want to compare file transfer apps? Good luck with that.
Watch face listings should be required to post a picture of the ambient mode. Some decent looking watch faces have awful ambient modes but there's no way to tell until you've bought it.
Updates and installations should be able to be queued. Having to wait for one app to finish updating and installing before you can start the next one is kind of annoying.
I find the Gear Apps store to be the worst out there. Compared to the Play Store, the Amazon Underground, the Windows Store, and my god ... even iTunes (or whatever Apple calls their store these days) ... it's atrocious.

I pretty much agree, especially on points #1 & #2.
Fred

Agree!!

Yes yes yes. Also the Samsung app store doesn't show you which watch faces you've purchased.

Samsung requires(pointlessly) two different categories when uploading an app to the store. This is why watch faces show up in other categories. For some asinine reason there's no way of entering a coupon in the store either, yet you can request them on the seller website. Stupid considering a giveaway is great promotion for paid apps/watch faces.

Seriously? Two categories. Clearly I can't throw the devs under the bus on that one. Just more asinine than I originally thought.

So, Samsung should add a category of: "Useless second category, don't look for anything here or do look for everything here". Craziness.
Fred

That is wrong. I uploaded a watch face just today. You can specify 2 categories but it is not required. I used only one categorie and it worked.

It's likely of these unusual category anomalies is by letting the seller 'Tag' their software app for a more visual effect than for accuracy in when looking for apps?...
The iPhone app store as well as the Google Android app store had the same problems in the beginnings...
Once there was a high population of visitors.. To then taken more seriously to the content of applications being appropriately tagged!
and why the Samsung Gear store hasn't been taken seriously as a major player against the obvious competition of Google & Apple!...
Tizen has been around now for a time in Teething problems no longer can be used as an excuse?....
Google & Apple started to clean their act up once a multitude of complaints were posted... problem is??...
There is no easy way to do that in the Samsung app blogosphere?... pity.

Starting from Jan 29, new watch faces can only be in Watch faces category. I'm not sure if existing ones in wrong categories will be removed
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The whole Samsung app store needs a overhaul. Just has a job half done kinda feel about it, put apps in a simple list and let's be done with the UI kinda deal. Not to mention like mentioned, bad app categorization. It bugs me that Samsung come out with pretty good hardware like the S2 yet fail to make the software just as good. The S2 has massive potential yet they don't seem to get apps out there, would be nice if they developed more apps for the S2 let alone other devs but nope they'll probably just give up on it like the did with previous smart watches and while I haven't looked into it, I bet iphone compatibility is lacking features like the ability to send sms messages or can't install paid apps for example instead of making it 100% compatible with all the features available.

My first IWC-like military watchface with adaptive luminophore

Hello there,
I'd like to present my first military watchface (native app) with a realistic luminophore light and a ticking sound.
Initially I created it for myself, because I didn't find anything that would satifsy me in the Galaxy Apps store. So now I'd like to share it with people.
I'm a big fan of devices with a luminophore, so I wanted to recreate this thing for my Gear S3 because this device (as so the rest Gear devices) has an integrated ambient light sensor, so adjusting the watchface image based on the light sensor was definitely an option.
I also decided to add a watch ticking sound (you can disable it on the Settings screen) to make it feel like a real watch.
Right now you can launch three apps from the watchface: built-in calendar, timer (Samsung Timer App, make sure it's installed), and a battery percentage screen.
This is a first version of the watchface. Please check it and share your opinion, I would appreciate that, because my goal is to collect some feedback.
The app will work on Gear S2 (lo-color AOD mode supported), Gear S3, Galaxy Watch, and on everything with 360x360px resolution.
The watchface is a paid app, but I'd like to share free coupons for people who will post here until the end of the week.
Samsung has a really weird coupons system, so I have to send coupons individually (if I understand that corrrectly).
So everyone who wants a free install please reach me out here or using a PM and share your country (yes, for some reason coupons work only for specific countries, "thanks" to Samsung) and I will PM you back with a coupon code.
Also, please rate the application if possible.
Thanks!

Hey Shamsheer! Thanks for your reply!
XDA has a limitation for new users, so I can't post the external links for the app.
The model name for this watch face is MILSIM A-1.
I created this watch face based on IWC and Fortis designs (and some soviet military watches like ACHS-1).
Try to google IWC Top Gun, Fortis B-42 Marinemaster and ACHS-1 (soviet aircraft watch)
My watchface is not a full copy, but an exclusive design based on top of these three watches.
I'm not sure about Watchmaker, but you probably won't be able to create this transition effect in GWD and Watchmaker because they don't provide such capabilities. That was the reason why I made it as a Tizen Native app.
Please rate the app if you like it! I'd like to collect as much feedback as possible to understand what I can improve
Thanks!

When I touch the screen and drag to the right side (to see the pending notifications) the battery status screen is opened. The program should be able to distinguish a touch from a drag event.
Being living with it for a week and it is great. The luminescence effect is super smooth and, believe it or not, doesn't affect battery life too much.
The ticking sound is something interesting ... to try for half an hour.... It is dependent on the media volume, so it is usually too loud. Oh, and it is on while charging.
Other than that, perfect. It will be my default watchface for a while.

Question Watch face Issue (White Text Clock)

Hi guys
Need some help. Since the last update 9 Feb. I have this weird thing with custom watchfaces. It renders correctly... But as soon as the screen goes off (sleep) the watchfaces changes to this in the picture. And stays like this?
I don't have AOD enabled or anything. I'm. It sure if it's a setting somewhere... But the stock faces is okay.
It's driving me crazy hehe. Not sure why this is happening...
I need to basically uninstall and reinstall the face but then it happens again..

They will have to fix with a patch or something... Alot of faces affected....

It think the original poster of this thread is posting a different (but possibly related) bug than what others are following up on. I believe most of this is about using AOD and sometimes the screen is not updating in ambient (low-power) mode. While this is happening to me, as well, I have not seen the white digital clock appear on my AOD display, ever.
In any case, and I am not sure it will make any difference, but I did report this to Samsung through my Samsung account by opening a "my questions" with the following (most of which from my posting on the other thread on this forum):
After the recent R890XXU1EVA8/R8900XM1EVA8 firmware update, I am experiencing major problems with the always-on display:
There are times that when in lower-power (ambient) mode, it is NOT updating any information on the screen (analog or digital). If I touch the screen, do the "wake up" wrist move, or touch a button, it immediately updates everything. It is unpredictable and intermittent. Prior to this last update, it ALWAYS updated the AOD screen in any condition. Now when I glance down at the watch, I am not sure if that is the actual time or not. And that defeats one of the main purposes of having AOD.
Worse, at other random times, it resists waking from low-power mode, even when pressing a button. I have to press several times and there is a long delay before it goes full-awake, updates the screen, and gives me control. Sometimes when it is acting like this (as if the face is "frozen"), it also doesn't automatically adjust the AOD screen brightness to environmental conditions, either.
And it is not just me. Many others are reporting this on the xda-developers forum:
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 gets new straps, faces...
FYI, a few items for our Samsung Galaxy watch 4 ⌚: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-4-straps-2022-3103478/
forum.xda-developers.com
And on Reddit, one user suggested this as a possible root cause:
“For watchfaces that make use of WatchFaceService.Engine, the onTimeTick() method is called once a minute to update the watch screen when in ambient mode. This allows the watch to display the correct time, even when the user hasn't interacted with the watch recently. After the latest GW4 system update, the onTimeTick() method is no longer being called while in ambient mode. This seems like a newly-introduced bug, but could just possibly be a misguided attempt to save battery.”
I would appreciate it if you would look into this, because it is absolutely ruining my experience with your product. Thanks

Well, that was a waste. I got an Email saying I had to report it through "help" on the website. So I went there and did a chat and had to escalate to a "pro" who could take the information for a ticket. Now I have a ticket number. Who knows if it will get anywhere from there. But at least I tried (twice).

Thank you for going the mile for us.
Im spamming update button, but i have a sneaky suspicion, its going to stay like that. I dont tink its a bug, but rather an enhancement or something. (You know Samsung)
I think the watchmakers will need to update their watches to not use that stay awake function thing....(All my old favourite watch faces broken :'()
Hopefully im wrong......... LOL

I have this same problem still, even after latest update a few days ago, it's so frustrating that I can only really use Samsung's watchfaces at the moment! Does anyone know any sort of workaround?

Hi there...
Yes I hear your pain. Same here. I was so excited to see that 107mb update... Immediately tested those watchfaces. Still the same
I started using Watchmaker watchfaces working well. Very good repo of free faces aswell....
I still hope for a fix... Maybe the next one. So sad
