Sorry for the offtopic, it will be possible to have a watchface text widget whose contents could be updated by tasker? That would be a killer feature (for me, at least).
Excellent, recently I started contacting the developer of Watchface Widgets who regrets that is not possible because his focus on the Android wear.

Manu, if you incorporate this option, it will be awesome.

Yes i will try :) but before i want switch to a PreferenceActivity for the current sw2 tweeks activity, with the new layout I think will have a best graphic.

Hello, I use version 0.5.2 (Nexus 5, OTA 5.0.1) and always after a few days of use, I begin to watch over and over again to disconnect and connect. When I do restart your phone and watch me sort applications by alphabet even though I had set a custom sort.

Here is how to replace the original with this modded version without loosing ANY extensions/settings

In short: backup apps+data in Titanium, install modded versions, restore data in TB, reset the watch, unpair, pair again, start Smartconnect, re-add watch widgets. Done


More detailed:
Download Titanium backup (needs root)
Backup app+data for Smart connect and Smartwatch 2 app
Uninstall Smart connect and Smartwatch
Install APKs from OP
start Titanium and restore "Data only" for Smart connect and Smartwatch 2 apps
on the watch: go to settings and select Reset watch
in the phone, unpair watch in Bluetooth settings
Pair it again
start smartconnect/Smartwatch2 app
Note:
* user-installed widgets, placed in watchfaces will seemingly be there, but you will need to re-add them.
* give the watch some time to install extensions/wallpapers/settings from the phone

Seems to work fine! Finally I can ignore those idiotic big margins in the Distance widget for example!:D

Well, thanks, I'm not sure about what details you need.

I suppose that it will be more useful if there are various sizes of the widget to let each user mix this widget with others.

The goal should be that through a tasker action or in a variable that it is monitored one could place any text (ASCII,UTF8?) in the widget.

That, for me, could be superuseful (and supernerdy, also). Given tasker connectivity any system information could be placed there. E.g., summary of last missed calls, or the names of the persons/groups that tried to contact you via SMS/Whatsapp/etc. It would be even possible to program your own customized notification engine.

People is doing that right now with Android Text Widgets and the app (sorry, I do not rembember the name) that lets you see a phone widget from the watch. But this will be more integrated and consume less battery.

Thank you very much for your interest. Of course, I'll donate for this feature.
Wonderfull idea

    This is a my personal hack of the sony sw2 host at the moment this app do this things:

    1. Ability of placing overdarwed widget.
    2. Chnage watch face trought tasker or other program like it.
    3. Navigating from watchfaces directly from your current watch face(only if you install and configure sw2 multi watchface extension) Idea by @AlexOB1.

    I hope that with time the features increase :)

    Tasker Configuration Tutorial.

    2)Click on the "+" button(placed at bottom right of the screen) and insert a label for your task.
    3)Now whill open a new windows,now hit on the plus placed on bottom of the screen.
    4)Select "System".
    5)Select "Send Intent".
    6)Now on "Action" write "com.smartwatch2.manu.ACTION"(Whitout semicolons).
    7)On extra you can write:
    • "CLEAR_WATCHFACES:1" for remove alle the watchface from the watch
    • "SET_WATCHFACE:watchface_name" for add a new watchface to the watch.
    • "RM_WATCHFACE:watchface_name" for remove the watchface from the watch
    8)Scrol down and on Target select Broadcast Receiver.
    8)Save it and test :).

    For people using Xposed framework on their phones, I packaged manu0466's patch as a Xposed module.
    No need to install any patched versions of Sony's apps, it works with the standard apps from Google Play.

    Install the provided APK, activate the module in the Xposed installer and reboot your phone.

    It's working perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with the 2 last versions of the watch software.
