As many of you may be aware, the pixel watch faces have been released as an .apk installable through adb.
The watch faces offer basic functionality right of the bat on the GW4, however, many sources online detailing the ability to install this on WearOS 3 devices fail to mention the short comings of the app.
I have been able to install without issues but I have encounter a number of bugs that come from installing on the GW4.
- AOD fails to update the minute mark unless awoken manually.
- Activating AOD by covering the display with your hand while on an app, results to a frozen like state instead of showing digital clock and blur like on a standard Samsung watch face. (fixed by "waking" the watch again)
- May or may not consume more battery due to bugs. (so far it seems like battery life seems slightly lessened)
- Some complications do not work.
- PLEASE mention in the thread if you have seen any other bugs.
I assume that these bugs also occur on the GW5 due to running the same chipset and possibly identical software.
From the bugs it seem that the watchfaces apk is not meant to work as a standalone app, and of course requires dependencies from the Pixel watch software.
Im a bit disappointed that big android media websites (including the XDA article of the watch faces) fail to mention this even after numerous days after releasing the articles. A lot of these article websites are quick to bring out content without testing what they put out there..
I have been keeping an eye of these issues with no apparent update on the bugs.
Hoping a dev picks up the apk and is able to develop a fully working port for the galaxy/ wearOS 3 watches.
If anybody find any info please update the thread!
Your observations are all correct. I'm quoting myself from another thread on here about this issue, because I dug a little bit into the logcats as I was running the Pixel Watchfaces on my Galaxy Watch 4 and I noticed these errors right around the minute mark, when the AOD should have been updating:
Code:

Now I'm not an Android dev, just have superficial ADB and Linux knowledge, but the Error opening event_count for wakeup59 with a Permission denied error seems to indicate Permission issues, possibly regarding a wakelock event, which the app would have to execute in order to run its code to update the watchface. Since it's not allowed to wake the CPU from a sleeping state, it never updates
Further, granting all user-grantable permissions for the Pixel Watchfaces through pm grant in the adb shell doesn't change this behaviour
There is a graphical glitch on dome watch faces some number are not displayed properly loke the numbers for 35 to 55 on the attached watch face

idk, I just decompiled the apk file form ApkMirror, modified the image and recompiled it. If you don't trust me, you can do it yourself.
Did anybody get the AOD to work?
Love the watch face but can't really use it if I can't rely on the watch to show the correct time

Well Pacific and Big time and other watch faces aren’t working
Don't use the original, this is a better version of the original concetric watchface and works flawlessly on my GW4 classic. Rebember to give the developer the thumbs up in forum and in playstore

Installed it a few hours ago, normal version without the fix for the concentric face. Battery seems to drain equally if not a little slower than with original faces

I don't use CM much and honestly haven't found a CM-based ROM that isn't a bit buggy, but occasionally I take one for a spin and tend to like stripped down ROMs. Can you just perhaps let me know what major differences I'd see in the CM10.1 vs 10.2 versions. Also the SGS 3 LTE versions on your download page are definitely for the i9305, correct?

Flashed last night...
Hi TimV. Great Job Plenty of spare RAM... 1500+ after apps installed :good:
I flashed it last night (I9305 CM10.2 LTE) and have noticed that Triangle Away says that root isnt obtained through SuperSU so there is a risk trying to reset the flash counter. I stupidly let Triangle Away flash its binary through CWM and lost my root. Got it back using CWM so no worries.
I just thought I'd let you, and others know, in case anyone is as silly as me
I Froze apex launcher with TB and installed Nova because I think its faster, and no problems there.
Camera, photos and video all good on all resolutions.
Stability seems rock solid. No FC's at all and I'm giving it a thrashing.
I'll report back on battery life in a week or so.
Cheers

How do you freeze Apex with titanium backup? Love this rom, but I've got problems with the camera... It freezes the second I try to shoot a photo.
So hoping it'll help installing Nova, like you did...

You'll find it in the Backup/Restore menu. The just select 'Freeze'.
I've found the browser seems to FC quite a bit also.
If you like Lungo but are still having problems maybe have a look at SentinelROM - they are fairly similar.

Thanks I'll try that. I use crome as browser and haven't had any fc... I like lungo a lot, but can't live with the fact that the camera is unreliable. Think I'll give sentinel a go... Been using ripper rom also, but it's a bit slow I think. Would be great if someone made a pure 4.3 android rom with no bloat... Just very simple and clean. Don't have the understanding or time otherwise I'd give it a go.

I don't know what's wrong, but the picture freezes if I take a few pics in a row... And then I'll have to close camera. The same thing happens again if I open it again.
And another thing... I love the quality and speed of the samsung cam. It's amazing. Hope someday you and everybody else might be able to make a camera like that for your/their rom. An almost pure android rom with a "samsung" cam app. That would be a dream come true in my world!
Thanks again for your hard work! Might change back if the camera gets back in shape.

Hi dev! Been running Lungo 4.4.2 for a couple of days now... So far its smooth as silk. Love it!
But I think there is a problem with the bluetooth... Couldn't connect to a wireless speaker i have.
Also is it possible in the next update, to include "kill app" by long pressing the "back" button?
Just found a serious bug with the camera... Pics are fine, but video is not! When I rec, it streches or compress the film. Also kind of laggy when you play the movie. Please fix! Thanks

Mahesh S: Just to confirm, are you able to receive the notification regarding the emails on gear S2?
ME: i do receive notifications. all of them work except my email
Mahesh S: Okay, thank you for the confirmation.
Mahesh S: ME, I would like to inform you that the feature to view the emails on the gear devices have been removed from the latest update.
ME: is that a permanent decision?
Mahesh S: ME, we are constantly improving and updating our operating systems, and with every improvement there is always a chance an older feature may be changed or removed.
Mahesh S: We value your input about your favorite features on our devices.
ME: this was a horrible move. its THE reason for the watch.
Mahesh S: While we cannot revert your device to an older operating system, we will pass along your suggestion for future updates.
ME: so youre saying this isnt a bug?
ME: its intentional
Mahesh S: ME, I understand your situation. We always appreciate customer feedback as it helps us improve and innovate.
Mahesh S: We have had many updates only because we want the best experience for our customers.
Mahesh S: I understand that you require this feature the most.
Mahesh S: The best I can do for you is inform my superiors about the request. I am hoping they make a update available for you which suits your needs.
Mahesh S: We take our customer's needs and make new and innovative apps and settings.
ME: so can you confirm its not being considered a bug? this was an intentional design?
Mahesh S: As far as we know, it was not out of any reported bugs. It was an updated design.
Mahesh S: You will be able to view the notifications however the emails will not be displayed on your watch.
Mahesh S: You can access your Samsung phone to check the emails after reading any notifications.
ME: but i pay for a monthly service so i dont need my phone with me
ME: im so confused!
Mahesh S: I am sorry for any confusion I caused. I will explain it in a better way.
Mahesh S: The update tells us that we can view notifications in the watch however to check the email in detail, we need to access the phone. As of now that is the last update we have heard.
ME: thats really sad. after having 2 recalled Note 7 phones, and now this with the watch, im sad to say, samsung is not what i used to think it was :'(
Mahesh S: I have also put forth this feedback to my supervisor for review.
Mahesh S: ME, I am sorry to hear that. I hope for a bright future with a valuable customer like you.
Mahesh S: Please rest assured that the information has been passed to the concerned supervisor.
Mahesh S: If it is possible, we will try to get the feature back in the future updates.
Mahesh S: Or maybe something better.
ME: please keep me updated. i have been a HUGE fan since the first galaxy phone in 2010. as my account shows, i am all samsung throughout my house and my business. even appliances. this is a harsh blow.
ME: i wish there was something there to help restore my confidence
Mahesh S: Our promise for a beneficial future.
ME: ok
Mahesh S: ME, I appreciate customers who give us feedback which we can use to improve. You are our core.
Mahesh S: I understand this update and the Note 7 recall left a different impression about the brand, however I assure you our people are working day and night for something better.
Mahesh S: Something that will revolutionarize the technology market. You will surely be a part of the revolution.
Mahesh S: We never forget any of our customers. You are our priority before anything else.

Ha... what a load of %(*&@$#(*&% We value our customers? If they did they wouldn't be beta testing this crap on us :/ This would have been revealed immediately if they had taken the time to invest in a test base
Confirmed, I just tried via Chat too, slightly edited for brevity:
Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
Chat InformationYou are now chatting with 'Niharika L'. The reference number for this chat is 4331275376.
Niharika L: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung Technical Support. How may I assist you?
David: Hi Yes.
Niharika L: Hello David.
David: Yesterday my Note 5 notified me I needed to download the newest Gear S2 app for my phone to communicate with my watch
David: Immediately following this I noted that any emails that come through my corporate client on my note 5 do not show message content but gmail still does show message content.
David: How can this be corrected? Thanks.
David: Sorry I am referring to message content on the watch
Niharika L: I see that your referring to the Emails on the Gear S2, I will help you with this.
Niharika L: Could you give me a few minutes while I gather the information for you?
David: Yes, thanks
Niharika L: You're welcoem.
Niharika L: I appreciate your time and patience.
Niharika L: I have checked my resources for you.
Niharika L: Unfortunately, I see that for the new update the emails will not be read in Gear.
Niharika L: The stability and performance of the gear has been improved.
David: That is not entirely true though. Gmail email DOES show up as it did before
David: so a blanket statement that "emails will not be read..." is not accurate
Niharika L: David, I understand your concern, the new update has changed the emails.
Niharika L: Changed the emails features on the Gear.
David: I understand that you are reading from information passed down to you. I would appreciate you passing back up that this was a HUGE error and it needs to be corrected ASAP. The entire point of having the watch for me was to receive notifications. If I can't filter the message and decide when it is appropriate to take the phone out and look via the top of the message then why bother having it?
Workaround... I added my work exchange account to the gmail client and synced folders as I did before with the corporate client (I remembered getting a message that said something about the gmail client now speaks exchange a while ago). The phone shows the message content now. I guess google wants to read ALL my messages now :/
On the plus side I have had the gesture to turn on screen off for months because it killed my battery and they took my suggestion as their is now a setting to turn on the screen when you receive a new notification in the app.
Further, there is also a feature that says that I can show the message on my phone if I pick it up while the notification is displayed on the watch.
can we revert to the prior version?
I'm sure the apk is out there.

Words cannot express how frustrated i am at this. The sole purpose I have this watch is to read my emails from work as they come in. I receive 100's of emails a day and this helps me save time. Wow.. .just wow
I didn't have enough fun in the last months screwing around with my Note 7's now I lose the functionality of the watch. Bravo Samsung, do you test anything?????
My words exactly

Things seem to be fixed on the newest update to the gear manager app. Good move for Samsung

Hy all
I want to create custom and original watch face for my smartwatch.
i need some testers to help me.
The only requirement is to own a round smartwatch with WEAR OS, test and send feedback in english ( si mai bine daca este in romana )
first 15 tester who enrolled and help me will receive free watch face made by me.
to enroll send private message to me wiht email adress with the account on the clock (the installation will be done directly from google play)
Please email me direct on : [email protected]
I'm just a man, I do it for pleasure, in my free time ...... like everyone in the xda
My Work
i want to switch from Facer to PlayStore and maybe after a while I can make some
.
Great. You are the first one..... I never forghet.
I don't mind giving it a spin. Sending you a message now.
I like your watch faces, but unfortunately do not like facer. I would love it if you made the watch faces stand alone. Great work though.
Hy. That is the scop for testers. I work to move all and new clock faces from Facer to stand Alone apk. in Google play. In 1-2 week i finish first 4-5 faces and send link to testers.
The procedure is complicate and for me is my first time work whit Google play developer.....
OK, I misunderstood since your link was for Facer Watch faces. If these new watch faces are going to be stand alone, I would be willing to try them out. Here is my email: [email protected]il.com
Good luck.
Hi I can test [email protected]

thank you.
I'll add you right away.
the truth is that I had to have surgery at the hospital for a hernia and I haven't had a chance to work for about 3 weeks.
I'll be back when I manage to upload them to google.
thanks
