There is a built in system in settings in data usage.. U can limit your usage too with that.. Then there are apps like 3g watchdog etc..which kind of do a similar job...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android addicts:
OK Kunal. I'll try 3 G watch dog. But are there any way to view WiFi usage? I think in system settings it shows 3G, 4G data usage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android addicts:
In device Settings>data usage>WiFI, I can see Google keyboard eats my data. It used 1.61GB. Oh man. Why is that?

Hey bro's I'm here to tell you all about how I'm committing fraud against t-mobile!

wow lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Lol, it won't work, as stated before, the insurance for each phone is IMEI specific, when they see IMEI is different, they will say "wrong phone sorry"

Also, to OP, thread is reported, stuff like this isn't what XDA is about.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
Great tutorial !

One thing about the date format. Watch Styler on the phone don't support the EEE format.

So don't load the theme in it or it will "correct" the date. Just push it via the Watch Styler GM clock manager.

Awesome, couldn't of got a better teacher myself.

Thanks

There are more things that are not compatible with Watch Styler editor. ;)

You Inspired Me

Because of your extensively written and detailed tutorial you've inspired me to give designing a theme a try. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] recDNA:
I don't know if you're taking questions after devoting all the time to create this manual but...

If you have an image of an analog clock with no white date box is it possible to insert the white date box and date at the 3 o'clock position through the theme.jeson alone or do you have to photoshop the white box on to the image then just add the day text through theme.jeson?

Which position is 3 o'clock right edge using your grid system? (I'm sorry but the grid picture isn't clear enough to read the digits)

Basically I created a rolex submariner from a picture posted early in the show thread then tried to move the date box and date text to 3 o'clock. Styler created the theme for me. Now I just want to edit it so white box and date text move down to 3 o'clock position.

If I can figure out what I'm doing I would add the MMM to the left of the date at 3 o'clock if I can figure out what I'm doing.

Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
At the TEXT ITEMS part you can read about the bgName parameter of a text-item. When you create a clock with the date box in Watch Styler, it's done this way.

I prefer to photoshop the datebox into the background or dial, but then you'll have to know exactly where the date is displayed in the final theme.

So you didn't click the pictures? That helps in decoding the positions :D

You'll notice that a 3 o'çlock date box would be at x=8 or 9. You'll want to center the date verticaly on the center line at y=5.,

So I would use y position 4 and a part h of 2, with textVerticalAlign=CENTER.

Well.. you might try first if you can align the date text exactly on the date box position by playing with the textAlign (left, right, center) parameter on various x positions and maybe with various w (part width) values

If that doesn't work good enough, you'll have to edit the picture and move the date box a little to the left or right.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Looks like the way I started two months ago... except that I had nothing to read and could only try fail try fail try yahooo!... and noone I could ask for help when I got stuck. :crying:

So... just imagine what kind of themes you will come up with in a few weeks... or maybe even days !! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] recDNA:
Thanks. I had no problem getting the text to move but no matter what I tried the white box wouldn't move.

Font Styles

Thank you so much! I started manipulating my own themes but ran into a few issues. I'll read through this to see if it helps.

Two questions...

One do you have a list of Font styles that are acceptable? It doesn't appear that all English Windows fonts work?

and Two if they do work my Gear was trying to load my Watch Styler creation and it seemed to be timing out? Is that due to a font style or bad .png files, or both? I only did some minor tweaking. New images and font name after creating a generic template in the watch styler itself.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
I noticed that too, but I don't know why that is. No list available either.

Just try and find antoher when it doesn't work... That's the only advise I can give.

Sometimes I get the time-out too. First I thought it was because of a combination of bigger image files and a short display time-out during theme upload... but it happens with longer time-outs too... Now I suspect that it mainly happens when the Phone just woke up from standby and Watch Styler + Gear are still not completely ready reconnecting when the theme upload starts.... but to be honest it's still a mystery to me.

I don't think it has something to do with PNG or font files, because the theme uploads without a problem when I retry after a time-out...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DrSavant:
Is there a way to manipulate the analog hands to do a second time zone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
I tested... HANDS_ITEM ignores timeZoneId. So, no different time zone possible for analog clocks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] recDNA:
Is it possible to move the white date box created in watch Styler to the 3 o'clock position? No problem moving the date number but I can't find directions for moving the white box the date goes in? Thanks.

Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
This date box in Watch Styler is just a background image that's defined in the bgName tag of a text-item.

As far as I know it will always be positioned with the top-left corner at the text-coordinates.

You could try to add some transparant pixels to the left or top of the date box image to shift it to the right or down.

Personally I prefer a date box being part of BG_PART.png or FRAME_PART.png

Hi OpenMind_NL !

can we separate the hours / minutes with seconds on one side Watch (analog clock) ?

if yes, how?

OpenMind_NL rulez

Thank you so much for this -more then complete- tutorial. It helped me a lot adapting posted themes to my preferences. Lots have English/US date format and 12-hour time format, while I prefer 31-12 and 23:15.

There's still one thing I can't figure out: when I adjust a existhing theme (I prefer doing this while editing the theme.json file) and write it back to the phone, I always will have the PRV_IMG.png from the original theme in Watch Styler / Gear Manager. Is there a way that I can force Watch Styler to make a new PRV_IMG.png that reflects the adapted theme. I know I can adjust PRV_IMG.png as well, but maybe there´s a way to let Watch Styler do this for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RockRatt:
I always take a screenshot on the gear of the watch face. Then send it via Bluetooth to my phone. Rename it PRV_IMG then move it to the correct folder and overwrite it.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
It depends on the theme... or better said, it depends on how much the theme differs from what Watch Style editor can do.

As long as a theme is more or less a simple dial with two or three hands (like standard analog Watch Styler themes), you will be able to go to the edit mode in Watch Styler to see a new preview image. When this image looks exactly like the theme looks on your watch, you can save the theme and a new preview will be saved.

However... When a script does things that Watch Styler editor doesn't understand (like new fonts, not centered dial, analog + lots of digi etc), you will see something different when you go to edit-mode... or Watch Styler may even crash. DON'T save it when the image is strange!

There are two ways to get a screenshot in that case:

1. Take a photo from the display (which I did for a while)

2. Install an Android SDK on your computer and let it take screenshots from Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] silvermick27:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wvexda:
Screenshots

....

I had an Android SDK installed, but never saw the Gear as device. Until I read somewhere on XDA that someone for another problem talked about turning USB Debugging on, on the Gear. When I did this on my Gear, it appeared as device, and now I can make decent screenshots with Monitor. Awesome!

Thanks for helping me along!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Yohng:
Excellent tutorial and thanks for this.

I'm trying to make a foreground without success. I mean a picture over everything

Anybody have an idea ?

I've seen OpenMind_NL (I like his work) on gearfaces.com does something with alpha to create something that look like same but it is not. (However his result his great)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
... and that's the best you can get. There's no way to put an image over everything. De seconds hand is the top layer in Watch Styler presets. ;) ... The only other option is to print an overlay image and glue that on Gear :D

I'm busy with a combined theme and would be glad if someone could offer either help or input.

The theme is digital and analogue, but the problem is that the hands of the analogue watch isn't showing up.

I'm posting the json file if any kind hearted person would like to have a look

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8s3fl2mrtnzagus/theme.json
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] silvermick27:
I know What is your problem.

I m on the road i give you a solution tonight
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
HANDS_ITEM only works with

"themeType":"ANALOG"

Your theme is set to be digital only.

"themeType":"DIGITAL"

It's at the end of the script.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dom1n8tr1x:
Thanks for pointing that out to me, I totally missed it. The theme still didn't want to work after changing it to Analog, but I eventually found the problem. All is well now.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] silvermick27:
i found another error

if you want your theme work analog and digital

you must not write DIGITAL_ITEM but DATE_ITEM

I have it do for you

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbr3uijkb2xwpf6/theme.json

tell me if it works
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dom1n8tr1x:
Thanks, I eventually saw that mistake as well. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. It's working perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DrSavant:
Now its my turn to ask stupid questions :)

I've been tooling around with one of the watch faces from the main thread, and while I was able to do the 24 hours part, I cannot figure out how to properly use the WORLD_TIME_CLOCK or item parts.

What I'm after, is either having the digital display always set to my home time zone (GMT-5), so when I travel, the analog hands show the local time, and the digital part always shows the home time, or failing that, I would trade the top DATE portion for a functioning second time zone.

Here's the script:

{"clockImages":{"FRAME_ITEM":{"clockItem":"FRAME_ITEM","clockImagePartTypes":["FRAME_PART"],"clockImageParts":{"FRAME_PART":{"clockImagePartType":"FRAME_PART","h":0,"w":0,"x":0,"y":0}},"alpha":100,"color":0,"layerH":10,"layerW":10,"layerX":0,"layerY":0,"themeTitle":"BreitlingAerospace","dataSampleNum":0,"baseTheme":false},"HANDS_ITEM":{"clockItem":"HANDS_ITEM","clockImagePartTypes":["HOUR_PART","MIN_PART","SEC_PART"],"clockImageParts":{"SEC_PART":{"clockImagePartType":"SEC_PART","h":0,"w":0,"x":0,"y":0},"MIN_PART":{"clockImagePartType":"MIN_PART","h":0,"w":0,"x":0,"y":0},"HOUR_PART":{"clockImagePartType":"HOUR_PART","h":0,"w":0,"x":0,"y":0}},"alpha":0,"color":0,"layerH":10,"layerW":10,"layerX":0,"layerY":0,"themeTitle":"BreitlingAerospace","dataSampleNum":0,"baseTheme":false},"BG_ITEM":{"clockItem":"BG_ITEM","clockImagePartTypes":["BG_PART"],"clockImageParts":{"BG_PART":{"clockImagePartType":"BG_PART","h":0,"w":0,"x":0,"y":0}},"alpha":0,"color":0,"layerH":10,"layerW":10,"layerX":0,"layerY":0,"themeTitle":"BreitlingAerospace","dataSampleNum":-1,"baseTheme":false}},"clockTexts":{"DATE_ITEM":{"bgName":"","timeZoneId":"America/New_York","clockItem":"DATE_ITEM","clockTextParts":{"YEAR_PART":{"clockTextPartType":"YEAR_PART","textVerticalAlign":"BOTTOM","textFormat":"EEE MMM dd","textAlign":"CENTER","maxWidth":0,"h":2,"fontSize":40,"w":8,"x":0,"y":0},"DAY_PART":{"clockTextPartType":"DAY_PART","textVerticalAlign":"TOP","textFormat":"HH:mm:ss","textAlign":"CENTER","maxWidth":0,"h":1,"fontSize":36,"w":8,"x":0,"y":8}},"fontName":"digital.ttf","localeLanguage":"en","layerW":6,"layerX":1,"layerY":0,"layerH":1,"textAlpha":30,"textColor":-1,"bold":false,"themeTitle":"BreitlingAerospace","dataSampleNum":4,"baseTheme":false}},"themeType":"ANALOG","themeTitle":"BreitlingAerospace","dataSampleNum":-1,"baseTheme":false}

TIA :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Stupid questions do not exist... just stupid answers. :D

I think the problem is that an analog theme only goes together with DATE_ITEM... not with DIGITAL_ITEM and/or WORLD_CLOCK_ITEM.

I see you already tried to add and set the timeZoneId for the DATE_ITEM... That's what I would try but if that doesn't work, I don't know a solution. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DrSavant:
Well, what it does, is it displays the date, however if you change the time zone on the phone, it also jumps forward :(

I really love using various clock faces on my Gear, but when I travel (which is often), I really miss having a GMT watch (I have one, but the Gear really made me obsessed with smartwatches :))
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RockRatt:
OK I am trying to make a new theme. If anyone who knows give a little input as to what I am missing here. I am wanting the Hours and Minutes to be one size and the Seconds slightly smaller. If you could look at this text file and shoot me a PM if you see what I am missing.

I have it kind of working and have the hours/minutes/seconds showing, just not getting the seconds to be smaller.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
Why PM... Others can learn from this ;)

I downloaded the text and dumped it in a dummy theme with dummy BG and BT images, changed to a font I had available and... I didn't even get it running. Kept hanging during load.

So I checked the text for errors and found:

"clockTextPartType":"MIN_PART","textVerticalAlign":"BOTTOM","textFormat":"mm","textAlign":CENTER","maxWidth":3,"h":4,"fontSize":58,"w":8,"x":0,"y":1

"textAlign":CENTER"... quotation mark is missing in front of CENTER

testing... stil not loading...

checking further...

"clockTextPartType":"SEC_PART","textVerticalAlign":"TOP","textFormat","ss","textAlign":"CENTER","maxWidth":2,"h":10,"fontSize":4,"w":8,"x":0,"y":1

"textFormat","ss" ... comma should be colon ( : instead of , )

Now the theme works... and I see what I already noticed in the code. Hour and minutes are located at the same position... and according to the code the seconds are at the same position and even too small o see... fontsize 4 is a 'bit' too low I guess. :)

Ok... let's see...

For testing I change the X-coords for the MIN_ and SEC_PART from 0 to 2 and 4 to separate the parts... SEC_PART fontSize to 24... and now it seems to look like you can continue your work ;)

Succes! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RockRatt:
Thanks I will check it out more completely. This is the actual Watchstyler theme I am trying to do. It is a ROUGH version and want to fix the BG_part a bit more and probably make it so just the watch face is in rather than the whole watch with its buttons.

I was just trying to get JUST the Seconds to show correctly before making the rest of needed changes. The previous one was a total test as to why the seconds was showing so small. If you could flash this one and let me know what it is missing.

What I am wanting is the SECONDS to be the size they are now and increase the Hour/Minutes. The reason it wouldn't flash previously was I have changed the font to digital.ttf but didn't include it.

Here is the Test version complete. http://d-h.st/WR5

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
I see you have "h:mm ss" to format HOUR_PART.

That's fine if you want everything to be the same size.

If you want h:mm and ss in different sizes, you should split them over two PARTs.

If you put ss in SEC_PART, you can use fontSize to set different sizes for HOUR_PART and SEC_PART.

And then experiment with x, y, w, h, textVerticalAlign and textAlign for both parts to find a nice alignment.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RockRatt:
Thank you for your time. I think I was TOTALLY overthinking it. I kept messing with it and got it perfectly. Now I just want to fix the BG_part as this one was just quickly done on my phone.This is JUST A TEST VERSION... I want to clean it up first http://d-h.st/AEi

I want to clear off all the text around the watch and redo the text so it is clearer and fix the background part.

I had this watch as a kid so I decided to remake it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
I know the feeling. Looking nice and retro already. I'm sure it is going to be a nice addition to the big XDA collection. :)

Maybe a little tip to try:

Give the fonts a very little amount of tranparancy by setting "textAlpha" to 5 or 10 (or whatever you may like).

Old LCD-displays used to be a little transparent which made the color mix a little with the background. They only used to be deep black the first day after a battery change :D

And add a little hardly noticeable noise to the grey background.

The little transparent fonts with hardly noticeable noise in the background are small details nobody notices during normal daily use, but the brain picks it up so it helps to give a realistic feeling to 'artificial' displays. :)

Just take a magnifying glass and inspect any LCD you have around.

Don't tell anybody, but I even inspect my designs on Gear with a magnifying glass to see if details match a little to reality :o

Hi everyone,

I am still waiting for my gear to arrive so i thought i would kill some time learning how to make a watch theme.

Could anyone tell me if there is an ability to add a pedometer display to the watch face? i would like the numbers in the red box to count up over the course of the day.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:

Is there anyway to rotate a font say 90 or 180 degrees in the json? Or any other way? I want to have a font sideways or upside down.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
The only way I can think of, is to open a font in FontForge and rotate the characters by 90 degrees, then save it and use it in your watch :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] doubleohzero:
Thanks. But then it would count as 1 of the 3 fonts I can have in a theme? Just trying to find a way around that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
...but... The real difficulty will be to use it to write a full word or time rotated by 90 degrees... This would need some more tricks, which I don't know yet.. and may even be impossible...

Yes... it would take one of three fonts

Still decided to upgrade and it indeed supports watch styler. I updated watch styler from Samsung store and in customize watch there is clock option that you can pick watch styler and change it to whatever you had before. Pretty awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tistou3o6:
Sorry for the late, thanks for this reply, i'm going to make it differently.

I have an other question, I see that every themes have their respective font, have you got a free software to make it easily?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OpenMind_NL:
You can use almost any TTF or OTF font and put that into the ThemeName\texts\fonts folder.

If you mean the special fonts, such as the Kisai watches ... I made those with Font Forge.
