Hi all! As title says, I just wanna know if there is an app to make aod look the same (dimmed possibly) as watchface. I found a really nice watchface but aod is black background with only analog clock, without complications. Is there some way to keep background and complications on a face that doesn't have it from default? Thanks in advance!
Not unless the developer has settings for it, or you have the original files to make it yourself. Turning on a bunch of stuff on AOD kind of defeats the purpose of AOD. It is supposed to be minimal and lacking color to minimize battery use.

That's correct mate. But I found some faces with aod that is like face on, but dimmed. Battery seems fine (with last update i reach 2 days with aod on all time except night).
Will search some similar watchface or try to make a request to the developer, though all his watchfaces are with same kind of aod..
I have the I-Digit watch face on my Watch 4 Classic and if you get the premium version, you can turn off or on any of the items on the watch face AOD. The developer makes many watch faces. You may find one you like there.

Could you link the watchface you are talking about?
Just type 'I-Digit' in search window Google Play store ...

It's this one! Nothing special, usually I prefer more complicated faces, but it looks clean and nice. Tried with Mr time, I reached a similar result, but same "problem" with aod..

Wow that's super simple you could create this with galaxy watch creator but AOD has a limitation on colors so no screen burn. Might be why they chose not to keep the colors.

Yes, I've already tried but very limited on aod.. but I have many faces with colored aod, they just move every X minutes to avoid screen burn..

I had an android wear watch and the ambient mode/always on face was customizable with a lot of watch faces. You could have the entire watch face on in ambient mode, which drained the battery faster but looked good. I specifically want to be able to have the "Date" on the ambient mode screen. I have seen a lot of pics of the always on face and its just 'watch hands" and nothing else.

The "I'm Alive" app in the Samsung app store works well to force your watch to stay on. I have used it with the maps application. Not sure yet how that affects battery drain though.

Thank you very much! This is what I am looking for ever since I had my gear. Now we'll see how the battery goes. As long as it stays up for 15 hours, I'm all good
It likely won't last that long. Also, you may want to do some research on whether forcing the screen would cause burning. The always on modes switch pixels every minute so evidently Samsung thinks burn-in is an issue.
Wasnt looking to necessarily keep the watch face on all the time, just the dimmed ambiant screen. But most of the ambient screens for the watch faces i see only have the watch hands, not the other information.

Turning on an AMOLED screen all the time would cause sever burn-in issues to the display later down the road. Samsung knows this and that's the reason the 'always on' mode doesn't keep the display always on and its because for a reason. If you want to see how a burned-in AMOLED display looks like, visit any retail store and have a look at the phones in display. But I was recently told that employees turn off the devices when there are no customers around but still you could see one or two. I wouldn't advise using that app if I were you. It has been told numerous times before.
My futuristic watch face has the ambient mode with digital time, battery and date. Check out this short video youtube.com/watch?v=V6ee6ypdA94 . This update is coming on Wednesday
Do burned-in cases applies to low brightness intensity, say level 2, and with black and white color combination watch faces?

I've resolved my ambient mode watch face issue. I'm now able to create my own watch faces with ambient mode the way I wanted.

Hello,
could you tell me how you create watch face with extended ambient mode ? do you use Gear Watch Designer ?
Thanks
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.

Hi, all. There are so many watch faces out there, but not easy way to hunt for the style and functionality I'm after. Hoping someone here might have a suggestion or two.
First, I am NOT interested in making my own. I don't have the time or patience to create a watch face, and would prefer to just download one that fits the bill. There are so many out there, that surely what I'm after must exist.
I'm looking for a face with the following characteristics:
1. Analog style
2. Always-on capability
3. Phone battery status​
I'm sure this won't be too hard to track down, but as I search, it is super cumbersome to hunt for this, and takes so much time and so many clicks to preview the watch face only to find that it shows the watch battery status not the phone...or that it's digital and not analog... Hoping you guys can give me a few names of watch faces to search for. Thanks!!!!
Try Watchmaker app and you can use thousand and thousand watchfaces with phone battery, weather, calendar events and more....

That's exactly the problem! That app produces the "needle in a haystack" problem for me. Do you know of any specific watch faces in that app that would suit my needs? Otherwise, it will still require hours of searching before I can find a few watch faces that fit my three simple criteria...

On the link there are faces that suit your need.
1. Analog style
2. Always-on capability
3. Phone battery status

Thanks. That was very helpful. Also, Watchmaker has a search filter that I've been hunting for! It allows me to select the attributes I care about such as round display, phone battery, and analog face and get a long list of watch faces that fit the bill. Once I had a good starting point, I could then tweak the one I selected with some custom functionality. I'm still wary of how much this app tries to reach into my wallet! Even after buying the premium license and the Samsung companion app, I am still presented with offers to buy more! I'd rather just pay a lump sum at the beginning and get all access, rather than having to constantly check whether my premium license covers a particular watch face or not. But I'm very satisfied with the face I found...very similar to the one you listed up above. Thanks!
WatchMaker premium is for use infinite faces with the app, otherwise you can not use more than few faces. After, every one can make a particular face and ask some money to distribute, not related with the master app
It is not the developper of the WatchMaker app wich develop all the faces for this app, so every one can offer or not his work.
Hey, anyone screw around with the watch face studio?
I was going to make a simple watch face so when I attend mustang shows, I can show it off.
When I save it and try to build it, it says the on display pixel ratio is too high.
How the heck do I disable that? I never use AOD anyway. Just wanting a nice simple face.
Here's what it looks like.

}
Switch to the Always-On tab on the left hand side panel and hide layers until the on pixel limit is reached, for example in your case you could disable all layers except the hour and minute hand). If you plan to use it personally and don't use AOD at all then you can even disable ALL layers in the Always-on tab
I added an overlay to dim it all as well above post, hope that helps!

This is what i normally do,if i get "pixel ratio to high "warning in Watchface studio
I always have a lot colour options and either set option to black or a dark greyish , when i create a " WFS format " to transfer to my watch .
This "work around " works fine for me and i can then , use any colour option in AOD ,mode
Bottom line ,
Afterwards i still have my other colour options....... to change back to my desired colour option .eg white ..etc etc
See screenshots .
Good luck .

Just to add further to my post above ,
You can also create different styles, with your preferred option included .
So one style you create a watchface with very low pixel ratio or dark watchface ;
You also include your preferred watchface in style
When you ready to send watchface to watch just make sure your "first option "in your watch face is a low pixel ratio /dark .
Then transfer to watch .
Afterwards go to your phone and select in Wearable your prefered options of your choice
see screenshots
good luck
Thanks for the help! That did the trick. After remembering to turn on ADB debugging, finally got it to take the watch face!

Thank you! I'm using it now, it's working great!
Hi:
It's not available for my GW4, can you post the APK to sideload it?
Hi great watchface, but i can only directly Install it on my GW4 with no configuration possibilites... On my Pixel 7 Pro i get the Info that this app is not compatible with my devices
Can you please also provider it for GW4 and Pixel Phone. Thx
Thank you!!!, It's already available....amazing watch face!!
Thx a lot. It is also working for me now. But If i add the Pulse or Others health indicators it only Shows the Icon (e.g. the Heart) instead of the Pulse. But i gave the permission :-(
It is still not available in Poland
In the play application it does not work ... but through the browser it works
Thanks for the watch face. It's very nice! I have a Samsung Watch 5 (non-pro) and I only see the heart icon, it does not show the frequency itself. Where can I find this "cardiogram" complication? I can't see the screenshot you referred to.
Do you think this watch face will have strong impact on battery life?
Thanks!
Thanks for replying. I will monitor the battery life now that I am using your watchface.
I believe this "cardiogram" is a separate application that needs to be installed. It's not the same as the built-in heart rate app that comes with the watch.
Am I to dumb to find it or how to change the general style (as you said there are multiple watchface styles included)?
(I guess I'm on latest version, installed yesterday and now update showing. I'm from germany)
Strange, I don't have these options. Neither ok watch nor in galaxy wearable app.
This it how it looks for me:

Thanks for the update!
Unfortunately, the heart rate number after choosing the native heart rate is not displayed in real time. I am obligated to tap on it to get a current measurement. It's not working as the heart rate complication on Samsung watch faces that updates the frequency in real-time.
Your theme for smart watch should be in the top!
How to enable seconds in concentric native?
Hello! This is amazing! Since I am quite sad that the original doesn't have the AOD fix.
By any chance, will you add a feature supporting multiple copies of concentric native to the favorite? I am using Bixby routine, and I want to swap to face 1 with a set of complications I use during work and face 2 for commute/exercise.
I know you blow up the font a bit but also by any chance would you also release the font size same as google?
Google's pill shape circle at the mins and second is slightly slimer.
Anyway great job!
I use this as my daily! I love this watch face and haven't found one single thing wrong with it. Your work is outstanding and I want to say thank you!
my favourite watch face for watch 5 pro. took me a long time to find it after I lost it (had to change watches) so maybe make sure it is searchable in PLay as Analog Native? Great work
