Watchmaker Faces on Android Watch with IOS

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone who has suggested various methods it did help in more than one way setup watchmaker on my Huawei Watch connected to Iphone 5s (unfortunately i have not been able to get any of the methods listed here to work but i believe that's due to an error on my end)

I did try one other method inspired by another thread on XDA where a user did install Facer app on his watch connected to an iphone the link below:

Thanks you so much jeffrey.goines

Applications used:

1) WatchMaker - on the watch

2) ES file Explorer - on the watch

Now the steps below:

Installing ES File Explorer on your Watch

1) Download ES File Explorer apk to your PC

2) Use ADB Install command on the terminal to install the ES File explorer to your watch (the phone version of the apk works like a charm on the watch too)

3) This will install ES file explorer on your watch and you see a success on the terminal screen

Installing WatchMaker on your watch

1) Download WatchMaker or WatchMaker premium apk to your PC

2) Append a .Zip to the end the filename (Eg. WatchMaker.apk to WatchMaker.apk.zip)

3) Extract the WatchMaker.apk.zip file to a folder on your desktop

4) Open the folder inside you would see another 4 folders (assets, lib, META-INF, res)

5) Open the folder named res

6) Within res you get mutiple folders again scroll down to a folder named raw

7) inside the raw folder you would see 2 files, we are interested in the file named "android_wear_micro_apk.apk". this is the apk that you would install on your watch

8) Use ADB install command on your terminal to get the android_wear_micro_apk.apk isntalled on your watch

9) This will install WatchMaker on your wear and you would be able to see the default watchmaker faces.

Preparing the watchface

1) Download a watchface file of your choice from facerepo or any where else

2) You should get a zip (Eg. demowatchface.zip)

3) Extract the content of the zip file to a folder (Eg. demowatchface)

4) Open the folder and you would see the below contents

i) fonts

ii) images

iii) scripts

iv) preview.jpg

v) preview_dim.jpg

vi) watch.xml

5) rename preview.jpg to u1.jpg

6) rename watch.xml to u1.xml

7) create a new folder preview_dim

8) move preview_dim.jpg to preview_dim folder

9) rename preview_dim.jpg to u1.jpg

10) now zip everything back up to get a zip file with all the contents (Eg. demowatchface.zip)

Transferring the watchface to your wear

1) Open terminal and use the adb push command

adb push "path the zip file you created in step 10 above" /sdcard/

2) This will send the demowatchface.zip file to the sdcard folder on your wear

Installing the Watchface to watchmaker on your wear Final Step

1) Open ES file explorer on your watch

2) by default you should be in the sdcard folder

3) you should be able to see the watchface zip file you just transferred at the bottom (eg. demowatchface.zip)

4) click on the zip file, it'll open the zip and below you would see an extract button, click on extract

5) it will extract the files to a folder within the sdcard folder on your wear with same name as of the zip file (Eg. demowatchface)

6)Open the folder you just created (eg. demowatchface)

7) Inside the folder copy or cut the file u1.jpg and move/paste it to folder named BeautifulWatches/preview_mini (please note the folder BeautifulWatches already exists inside thesdcard folder on yiur wear if you have WatchMaker installed on you wear)

8) go back to the watchface folder (step 6) (eg demowatchface)

9) copy or cut the file u1.xml and move/paste it to folder named BeautifulWatches/watches

10) go back to the watchface folder (step 6) (eg demowatchface)

11) Copy or cut all the remaining folders and move/paste it inside BeautifulWatches folder

12) If prompted to cancel overwrite please select overwrite

13) That's it your are done.......

14) Just go to change watch face option on your watch select watchmaker from the options an set your favourite watch face

Enjoy watchface of your choice without using an android phone
