My way is not very elegant, but I did not find a better editor for the watchfaces so far. If anyone has a better way with better results I would like to use it.

Go into the menu where you see the selected watchface with the 4 blue buttons below. Select the button 'watch' and a menu will open. You can select 'watch position' and then 'fill height' for better alignment but only this will not be enough so get back to the menu 'watch'.

Goto 'edit watch' and it will show you all the elements the watchface is made of. The more complex your watchface is, the more elements are to be changed. You can also reach this menu when you select a watchface. Below the green button 'set wallpaper' there is the option 'customize watch'.

Now tap on each element, scroll down to its 'position y' and change the number to the negative direction, about 20 units will do. You can also make other changes here if you like. Your changes will be saved automatically.

Finally go back to the main menu with the 4 blue buttons. Open the drop down menu by pushing the half hidden button in the top left corner. Goto settings->wallpaper->watch shape and select square. This will fill a little more of the screen.

Let's hope there will soon be an easier way to customize watchfaces!

Thank you but... I miss something... How do You put watchmaker watchfaces in our watch? I can not find the option to put it as a widget (that I suppose is what you do right? )

Enviado desde mi Letv X500 mediante Tapatalk
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
I thought you are using watchmaker already asking about alignment problems...

It is not a widget it is a live wallpaper. Make sure you installed the right app. The watchmaker app will not work because it is for android wear, you have to use the watchmaker lwp and set it as wallpaper on your watch.

If you can't use lwps on your watch yet you first need to install the two apps from post #335 in this thread.

You also have to use another launcher that has the classical homescreens like nova launcher.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
You are right, I'm not using it yet... I was asking you about it!

Let me check it!

BTW how about battery live using this?

Which watch do you have - sounds silly but people discuss all sorts in this thread.

I guess you have TWRP recovery and Super Su root?

Are you using Lokifish Marz custom rom?

The other way would be to contact one of the huge suppliers from Ali BaBa website.

sincerely hope that is not passed ... until yesterday I run and I put music on my device ... in the afternoon I started to connect my device to back up my rom in stock ... and I could not see it from the pc, or have gained access to the hard disk of the clock ... I've tried everything:

https://youtu.be/mvAzXrfycUs

* I tried on different computers with windows 8.1, windows 7, windows xp, linux .... When i conect the phone only charge the device, and the display of the message smarwatch appeared before does not appear to allow you to see the files from the pC.

* I have reinstalled the drivers again and again ... always with the same result ...

* When you try to access the USB settings when connected to the PC from smarwatch ... this screen closes immediately not allowing me to configure anything (can you see it on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qff3v3bhW_s&feature=youtu.be)

* I have restored factory settings in the smartwatch .... it has not worked.

* I have tried to find solutions to error in windows 43 usb and none of the solutions worked

* I tried with 4 different USB cables ... it has not worked.

and not to do ... Can you think of anything?

thanks

Hi, <br />

In Just read all thread. <br />

And i am not clear how to change the facewatch. <br />

Namely, how i can add facewatchs? <br />

Im using nova launcher with swapplink. <br />

One response say that with one version of swapplink its possible. In teorhy must be appears a plus button in the list of facewatchs ; tren you can import. <br />

I have the Last version of swapplink. <br />

<br />

Otherwise asked. <br />

What apps are valid to change facewatch, also swapplink, with nova launcher, for example ? <br />

Its possible to use facewatchs of the three apps to build them(facer, watchmaker and pujie) <br />

<br />

Many thanks! <br />

is necesary launcher of D5 or K8mini, if you have it create a folder "ClockSkin" on path of your K8 and put the directories of the rar inside this.

I would like to see someone attempt this on the K8 with the rolex theme.
[Other SmartWatches] maitrot:
For those who have trouble with the cradle/dock always disconnecting:

What about fitting a stronger Nd-magnet inside the case and making the force stronger, so the pins keep being connected?

Also, i had the idea of buying a second dock, fitting a li-ion battery (ca. 600mAh) inside and attaching a cheap charge circuit from DX to it. this way I would end up with a portable

one-time-recharge unit :) In case It won´t fit i´ll just 3d-print a new case bottom which has more space...
[Other SmartWatches] giol:
The force is Strong with you maitrot?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
All good ideas and the portable charger idea is already achievable with a cheap phone powerbank.

The magnet issue is a real problem. Not only are they very small but they have a tendency to fall off of the case. I have lost one of the two small magnets already :(

The printing of a new back cover is a good thought. Especially if we fit a better battery.

Anyway, I'll be looking into the hardware side of things when I get home from holidays. A forum member kindly donated a faulty K8 for me to pull apart.

Apologies for the delay on this side of things but it will have to wait until I get home.

Cheers.

You skipped the part where someone would have to completely recreate everything because there's no source face to port over, just screencaps. BTW, two of those are probably nothing more than a straight image swap with custom K8/D5 faces that already exist, if there were images to swap.

Have had the same issue as you since I received the watch from geekbuying. Have had to work around everything. Can't even do a full backup anymore due to lack of space and since USB storage doesn't work, I can't restore any of these SP Flash tool backups or ROMs everyone having fun with now. Its ok. I figured out how to get "ok google" going after flashing gapps and installing google now launcher so I'm happy.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Why doesn't usb Storage work? If you can still use SP tools -

You could do a "read back" of your data partition with sp tools.

Go back to stock firmware using sp tools and factory reset.

Then flash recovery and install the rom and then finally restore your data.

Personally I would not restore the data and start from scratch.

[Other SmartWatches] heat22:
Wish we knew. I cannot connect it to any PC no matter the version of windows. It immediately throws a "USB device not recognized" error. USB debugging checked doesn't matter. Tried USB storage app I found on the market, negative. So we can't go back to stock using SP Flash Tools or any other ADB tool for that matter. Can't transfer files via usb...and that was out of the box for me...sucks.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
SP Tools flashing doesn't need USB storage to work. So if you are getting BROM errors when trying to flash with SP Tools, or no connection at all, the dock is most likely bad.

Heart Rate Monitor

I compared the heart rate monitor of the K8-round on my left wrist to that on my Moto360 on my right wrist, and they compare pretty closely (+/- 2 BPM).

Unlike the Moto, the heart rate keeps updating every second or two on the K8-Round. That's nice. Don't know if it turns itself off after a while - should to avoid running down the batt.

But it is still going back because of the difficulty running square apps on a round screen. Or, if somebody wants to buy it for what I've got in it, I'll sell it to you instead of RMA to GearBeast. Its the Gold version. $137. Send from Santa Barbara, CA., so you'd get it in a few days.

Call me (only if you want to buy it for $137. thru Paypal) eight zero five 6375723. I'm not a reseller -just thought I'd offer it if somebody wants this watch in a hurry, otherwise I'll send back to GearBest.

" 2. Mobile data access stops when the screen turns off. After you start the watch mobile data is available with just a few seconds. Anyone know how to maintain mobile data in standby? I am using an AT&T sim card. "

· Has someone yet really and personally installed google play?

· is whatsapp working with k8's round face? issues?

· is there a way to answer to messages from k8 (keyboard or voice with google now)?·

· How it works this k8 like companion of an android phone?

· Which apks are supported regarding notifications (from phone to k8) and how it is the quality of k8's apk (the one to be installed on the phone)?

Thanks!

PS like i said on post #31 in the wristband usually are placed various antennas, so is also for this round k8...a leather strap not changeable is a cons....that means a lot of sellers doesn't even know what they are selling or give intentional wrong advices...

Yes GPS does work. Have used it with WAZE and Weather app. Will eat up the batteries quickly. The battery will charge from around 50% in about 15 minutes. I plan on carrying a small 2200 mAH battery and the dock whenever I am out for the whole day. Setup small enough to keep in my pocket.

I have installed an older version of the Google Services and Google Play app. On the Google Services app I get repeated notices that it was forced to stop. Google Play will try to open and then it will close. I ensured that I have the correct versions for 4.4.2 Any suggestion?

So far I have used the watch as my cell phone since Thursday with good results. A couple of times I have not been able to make a phone call. I restarted the watch and the issue resolved itself. So far I am happy with the purchase.

Found a good calendar/appointment app that will sync with outlook and gmail. It is Sunrise. After installing you get choices on which calendar you will sync to. I tried a couple of others but because of the round screen they were difficult to use.

In response to Post #111 when my watch is synced to my phone is shows as model number W806. I think this is the same watch that you posted the link for with some software modifications.

I have also been able to install Sandisk Connect software to use with on of the new Connect WIFI USB sticks. It will allow me to stream movies using WIFI from the stick to the watch. Movies play very well on the watch.
