I'm still playing around and I've read up and understand what OPR is looking for ie (#ffffff is 100% #ff0000 is 33%). This design with a black face should theoretically be fine. It's showing an 8.4% OPR on the design screen yet when I go to load it it's saying the OPR is too high.
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
Thanks very much, I grabbed it from here:

https://www.watchfaces.be/rolex-daytona-2/

I'd just like to understand what the issue is and how to correct it so I can learn how to do these things myself. I appreciate the help.
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
The issue in essence, is that the AOD is too bright. One thing you can do is edit the images for the hands and the time ticks. I usually lower the opacity.

Edit, when I get home I can grab some screen shots.

Oh, and thanks a ton for that watch face, I've been wanting that one!
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
thanks for taking a look

so where it says OPR is 8.7%, that's not accurate or I'm looking at the wrong thing?

I read about the opacity trick as I mentioned, but I don't see any option for it. Ok I take it back, on this one I do see opacity. but I lower opacity (in this case on Hand 15) and OPR drops from 8.7 to 8.4 for example. I thought I was aiming for under 15%?
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
So, from memory ?.......

Hit the play button, and in that window will give you 2 buttons at the top. One takes a screen shot of the face, the other will give you an option to test the face.

Again, from memory
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
This also says 8.4%
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
If I select the analyze button, it runs through loops, somewhere it is showing what I would expect to be the always on face, and part where I'd expect it to be the active face. It takes about 2 minutes to run through the whole thing, and shows a burn in map and and on pixel ratio min of 8.1% and a max of 22.3%. So I guess need to understand and read more about what it's doing here. There's two faces represented in the 20 minute loop. One very bright and one dim.
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
That's it.

The dim one is set to come on at 7pm, run thru the night and go to the "day" display at 5am.

One thing I would try right away, is reducing the opacity of the "complication" The flair you see when you rotate the watch around (Image 1)

Edit.... NOT the Opacity, it's the Lightness
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
oh i guess i didn't grasp that time event concept. i thought it was simply always on 'dimmed' until you activated the display (by motion or pressing a button) then got the bright display.

but i think what you're saying is that at 5am, it's going to the bright display even if the watch is sitting on a table.
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
Yeah, the bottom section to the right of the images, is the timeline. the dark and light grey is Off or On State
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
I was reading that an earlier version of GWD didn't force the 15% requirement. Since every GWD file I've run into has given me the same problems, I'm guessing they were created with the older version.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

bad guess. 1.2.1 cant open the files from that site. 1.3.2 can open them but can't connect to my S3 (maybe newest firmware isn't compatible). i heard the 15% requirement was added after 1.2.1 so I'm not sure how so many others are having success with the gwd files in that repo.
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
Yeah, I'm not too sure what's happening for you. I'm on 1.5.1 and I don't have any issues loading gwds from that site at all. Maybe try to update your GWD program to 1.5.1?
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
Oh it loads in 1.5.1 just fine. It's when I try to run it on device I get the 15% error
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
I must be doing something wrong, even the samples that come with 1.5.1 are giving me the same issue.

I load the .gwd file,

click run on device

select my device

tpk doesnt exist, built it? yes

OPR at 12:36:21 is too high
[Samsung Gear S3] dmoney98:
Please explain where I can find "Custom" in GWD.

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
First, choose what image you want to be tapping on the face to cause it to launch an app. It can be the entire face, in which case the image will just be the background.

If you want a specific spot, there has to be an image on top of the background, but you can make the image invisible. Just click "image" on the left, use any stock shape, place it where you want to be tapping, and resize it as you wish, and then on the right, under "Appearance", bring the Opacity to 0%.

Then, at the top right, click the 3-line dropdown, and click, "Set as button". You can leave the action as tap (I found double tap to be less responsive - having to double tap a bunch of times to get it to work). For action, select, "Open app", and your choice of stock apps are listed, with "Custom" at the bottom.
[Samsung Gear S3] dmoney98:
THANKS !!!!
[Samsung Gear S3] odyseus:
I don't suppose there's a full operating manual for Gear Designer?? The tutorials on the Samsung site seem pretty basic ??
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
Just re-reading this thread, I noticed I screwed up on directing you on the timer app. It's com.samsung.timer-wc1 !!! (not .wc1)

I know you said you'd rather have the stopwatch, and you're right, it's still not working on this version. But figured you could do this so you wouldn't be going crazy wondering why it works for others and not you!
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
Not that I know of.
[Samsung Gear S3] RiverCity.45:
Samsung's video tutorial is a lot more informative. Give it a look.

Sent telepathically
[Samsung Gear S3] ads7112:
YES.... thanks anyway I figured it out ... and ... I do not know why and how .... but IT IS WORKING NOW !!!!!!

What I have done????

I found a watch face design on watchland where there was the stopwatch working

It is a TAGH...

Then I simply checked the link using the watchface design

To avoid any typing error I have COPIED the contents ov the AppID field... and now

Yes........
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
Wait... You found a Tag watch face on Watchland that has a working link to stopwatch?! Which one?
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
And can you copy and paste the App ID here, please?! :)
[Samsung Gear S3] ads7112:
On watchland the name is

TH aquaracer 500M

Download

Open on GWD

Look for the image that has the link

Copy e paste the appID ........
[Samsung Gear S3] andillaTO:
Thanks for the watch face! Totally gorgeous... and the AOD is Tron like sick!!

This is my new daily driver.... if you got more please link me up!
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
Weird, when I download it, put it in GWD, and look for the link, it says "Custom", but has no ID listed. But you're right, it DOES work! So I opened up the .gwd file archive, sifted through the folders, and found it in the .xml file. It is " com.samsung.stopwatch-wc1 "!

I swear I tried that before and it didn't work. Maybe I put .wc1 at the end by accident like I had recommended to you before?! I don't know... but it works! Thanks!!
[Samsung Gear S3] ads7112:
You do not need to open the xml .....

if you open the list of apps and you just re-select ''custom'' it will appear the appID from wher you can yous copy with the text editor the name .......

com.samsung.stopwatch-wc1

or

com.samsung.timer-wc1

then you can close this project ... open the one wher you want the link and create the link with a new image as usual making it as a button and then selecting as app ''custom" and .... simply paste the text previustly copied in the appID area ....

it take more to tell then to do it ........
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
I got it. I already did it. It just didn't show up when I was looking for it, so that's how I hunted it down and found it.
[Samsung Gear S3] twilight79:

Tesla Coil

This is watch face that I made with GWD

Tesla Coil is watch face made in honor of 160 anniversary

from the birth of one of the greatest inventor who ever lived, Nikola Tesla.

Without his inventions the world as we know it today would not exist.

Tesla coil is an invention that Tesla used to wirelessly transmit energy more

than 100 years ago, and besides, it can produce man made lightning.

This invention has found application only now in the wireless transmission of energy for charging batteries

over short distances. Gear S2 and Gear S3 have inside them small Tesla coils.

Features of watch face:

- Animated lightning indicate hours.

(numbers are represented as neon tubes that turn on and flash just as thay would be lighted up wirelessly near real Tesla coil)

- Minutes are represented by a voltmeter that measures the voltage in millions of volts (which a large Tesla coil can easily produce)

- Seconds are represented by a ammeter that measures the amount of current in Amperes

- Battery power is represented by the power of electricity.

- Watch face also have date in format Month/Day/Year

Gear S2 has Always-On mod in the form of a functional analogue clock.

Gear S3 has a Always-On mod similar to standard mode which is modified to save battery power.

Also battery power is replaced with a digital display of minutes.

I like very much the 1st one, exospace, but is it possible to display a second time zone for the digital, and to add week day somewhere and to share your GWD file ?
[Samsung Gear S3] Mender:
Attached you can find gwd file - saved in GWD 1.3.0

Second time zone you can edit in GWD. Week day is already added - it is part of date string.
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
Are you running High or Normal color? I'm finding that my OPR goes too high when I run the face in High Color.

Try the one I have attached. Got his one together from that same site (just not in gwd format) and is currently running on my S3. Normal Color, no AOD.

It's also a really nice face.......
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
I'm just trying to use the defaults. I managed to get a Rolex to work when I disabled the AOS under Project > AOS > Remove Both.

The one you suggested trying works fine. No errors at all during the build and it's running on my S3 now. Thank you. Not sure what's going on with these others.
[Samsung Gear S3] StStefan:
[MENTION=498427]robroth[/MENTION], I would try the following:

1) In Run mode select High Color and Low-bit Color and play with the time for each state. See if the OPR modifies over 15%. I've attached a picture for this test1.png

2) There are different elements for each mode. Select High Color and Low-bit Color and apply the opacity for each mode (after you select a mode). The opacity applied for High Color is not automatically applied for Active or Low-bit Color. I've attached a picture for this config1.png

3) You can try to remove the Always-on States. Click the button, check them and click remove. See the picture config2.png

I hope these help.

Let us know if you manage to build it.
[Samsung Gear S3] amejlvang:
Just randomly Rand in to the same problem today. I just removed the two always modes. (didn't really want them for this project anyways)

Current project. Simple gradient watch
[Samsung Gear S3] robroth:
Thanks, I'll play around with these tonight. I was also able to get a face to work by deleting the always modes but I don't understand why there is a whole repo dedicated to s3 faces and the faces don't just work. You shouldn't have to modify them to get them to work if they were created for the s3. Same issue with the demo i tried that was included with gwd! That's nuts the included demo had to be modified to work!

Hello! Did you make such a dial like you?

[Samsung Gear S3] dmoney98:
Hello,

I am getting the following error while trying to use GWD 1.5.1 on my Gear S3 Ttizen 3.0:

When I click on build project it goes to 100% .

When I try to run on device, it trys to create the build (100%) and it gets to push 60% and then I get the above error.

I cannot find my .tpk file. so i am not sure if thte build really worked.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Gear S3] StStefan:
It seems that the tpk cannot be created (the build failed). And the error you get just confirms that the tpk file is not there.

I would investigate why the tpk file cannot be created. Folder rights, permissions etc.

Do you get the same error even if you build a project from GWD examples? Were you able to perform any build in the past for other watch faces or this is the first one? Have you recently changed anything on your computer? Make sure that other IDEs that use eclipse are closed when you use GWD (check the processes).

Sorry, no other ideas for the moment.

gwd does not recognize my certificate

Good afternoon. I have been using gwd version 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 without any problems until today, being able to send gwd spheres to the clock perfectly. Today however, although I continue to do them exactly as always, I see an error with the distribution of the certificate, indicating that the device is not registered, when it is registered (I have done it when starting the program, as always). I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, delete all the contents of the folder, the contents of the user folder, for the registry cleaner and it does not work. Can you help me? Thank you very much.
[Samsung Gear S3] StStefan:
Maybe the update deleted your distributor certificate. If you don't have it to copy it back you can generate a new one. There is no problem to generate a new distributor certificate.

The author certificate it's important to keep it. This helps you to update your existing apps in the store.

Not sure if this is the right place, but I hope someone can help me. I made my own face an added weather for a specific town, not 'Current Location'. The weather works just fine when Im on wifi, but it will not update when connected to my phone on bluetooth. I also tried adding a heart rate monitor, but that seems to only update every hour or so instead every 10 minutes when the watch reads my pulse. Are either of those fixable, or is it just a limitation of the watch?
[Samsung Gear S3] p51d007:
I created a face with our company logo and want to put it on my watch, but the software keeps asking for a certificate.

Linear time display possible with GWD?

Is there a way in GWD to create a time display that consists of a linear (straight) element driven by time (or even battery, steps, etc.)?

I am thinking of a ruler-like bar that scrolls behind a fixed indicator, or the other way round, a linear moving indicator that moves along a fixed linear scale, like an old analog power meter.

I know it would be possible to create animation elements with TONS of frames, but I would rather like to avoid that. :eek:

[Samsung Gear S3] wispfox:
Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to create a watchface with my agenda on it, but I'm having trouble figuring out how I would do that. It looks like most of the watchfaces out there either don't care about one's agenda (I'm bad at remembering to do things if I don't have an easy way to glance at my schedule when I want) or have decided it's too hard to implement. Anyone know which it is?

I'm not interested in using Tizen Studio because I'm not a huge fan of coding, and especially not javascript.
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
If you are using GWD, you can add a Text, place it somewhere specific on your watch face and set it to open an app when tapped. Select Schedule and when you tap it it'll open the Watch's scheduler. Tap it again and it shows your agenda for the day.
[Samsung Gear S3] wispfox:
Thanks for the reply!

It sounds like this is a quick way to the calendar app. Is there a way to show upcoming events on the watchface?
[Samsung Gear S3] kangi26:
You'd have to look for a widget to do that. I'm not aware of one (doesn't mean they don't exist, I just don't know about them)
