Quick Circle Watchfaces

[BigBoot93]

For the files I'm currently using this:

    private String findFile(String name) {
        if(files.contains("b2_quickcircle_analog_style01_" + name + ".png")) {
            return "b2_quickcircle_analog_style01_" + name + ".png";
        } else if(files.contains("b2_quickcircle_analog_style02_" + name + ".png")) {
            return "b2_quickcircle_analog_style02_" + name + ".png";
        } else if(files.contains("b2_quickcircle_analog_style03_" + name + ".png")) {
            return "b2_quickcircle_analog_style03_" + name + ".png";
        } else if(files.contains(name + ".png")) {
            return name + ".png";
        }
        return null;
    }

which works but is a bit ugly. So yeah I'm already supporting files named "hour.png", "minute.png", ...
And I pretty much consider qcview the successor to qcthemer (especially since xposed conflicts with LGs quick circle on lollipop), so I don't worry too much about compatibility.
But even then you'd probably want to be compatible with the old clocks.
Are the G4 clocks the same size as the G3 ones? If not we should probably add a resolution prefix (something like hour_1046.png).

Afaik MIT is pretty much compatible with everything. I've chosen it over Apache, because Apache isn't compatible with GPL.

The design looks pretty nice, I think I'm going to include this on qcview too (Except the color, I can't stand that blue-grey thingy ).

I'm using the regular lovely blue for everything, so I need to use some other colors

I think they should be at the same size, since the watchfaces looks nice at my device.
I'll use your method, thanks.

Also, there are few problem with the app who edit the date, they have to be updated to the new format (which is current compatible with old format, just add those extra properties):

<dayTextColor>#RRGGBB or #AARRGGBB</dayTextColor>
<dayBackgroundColor>#RRGGBB or #AARRGGBB</dayBackgroundColor>
<hideHourText>true or false</hideHourText>

Edit: I've recently made a commit. Changes:

• Support for other file names, according to BigBoot93's function
• Support for watchfaces without second (it will be updated every minute)
• Support for FORCING a minute clock - remove second hand, update every minute
• Support for preview zips that their preview filename is Preview.png instead of preview.png
• Fix performance issue on changing the watchface to other LG watchface.

However, I still need a general watchface for people that doesn't have watchface, and a preview image for LG watchfaces launcher. If you have any other suggestion of what to add, quote me.

A thread to discuss about your favorite watchfaces. I'll edit this post later with more info and pictures.

-----------------------------------
I've been working on a watchface, what do you think?

Same question How are you making watchfaces. I prefer FaceRepo[.]com. Have a look for ideas...

The watchface from the pic is simply a regular android widget. So faceRepo stuff wouldn't help here. So you have 2 options currently:
1. Design a regular android widget with size of 1046x1046 (if I remember right.)
2. Create a QCThemer compatible watchface, See this section about creating a watchface. It is also compatible with G3 watchfaces, even if you use the extra features of this version:

      <!-- Optional - the color of the day text - Default BLACK -->
      <dateTextColor>#RRGGBB or #AARRGGBB</dateTextColor>
      <!-- Optional - the background color of the day text - Default GRAY -->
      <dateBackgroundColor>#RRGGBB or #AARRGGBB</dateBackgroundColor>
      <!-- Optional - hide the date - Default show date -->
      <hideDateText>true or false</hideDateText>

(More features like x,y position and text size will be added soon)


@BigBoot93, can I use the QCThemer icon for this app? (For free Play Store release)

 

[BigBoot93]

Sure, here's the svg file.
Feel free to use/modify it any way you like.

I'm going to release it soon, but first I need few testers. Are there any volunteers? (it may even have better battery performance then LG clocks, since it runs ONLY when the case is in use)

Also I need a preview image for Watchface selection. Since it isn't specific watchface it should be something general with the app icon. I'll work on it tomorrow, but if there is any designer here want to get a credit on the app

I would be very keen to be a tester

If you are turning them into .apk's to install I would gladly test

It was uploaded to Google play, be available soon I hope

Confirmed working on the LG G Stylo!
Tested about five watch faces. The only two that didn't work were the two Zelda themes; the sprites were all thinned out like crazy.

Also the app itself is SUPER zoomed in on the G Stylo.
But this app was made for the G4 which has a higher resolution, I'm just along for the ride!

 

[Lerroy]

Tested on H815 sea, works really well couldn't be happier

Thanks for making this app and my circle case even better!!

Any watch that takes up the entire screen for the hour/minute hand for fancy work gets squished.
Here's an example (acttachment)
It's SUPPOSED to look like this - http://i.imgur.com/6yxsJQo.png?

Don't think it's anything wrong with the app, just an observation (along with me not using a G4)
Also the date window ends up with a grey background and slightly shifted over to the side. (again, my fault not yours)

Just trying to provide any info you might want.

It is only optimized for the regular analog clocks, not those with extra resources (regular = background, hour, minute, second). Can you give me a link to the watchface to check?
About the grey background date, you can force gravity to the date (or hide it) from settings. I'll add an option to change the color in next version.

I'll fix the LG G Stylo problem.

Edit: pushed an update (available in few hours):
* Fixes for LG G Stylo
* Support for changing color for date & its background (on settings - be sure to check the lightness slider if you don't see all the colors. The background also has alpha slider).

it's number 18 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/quick-circle-watches-t2906614
Also the two Zelda ones here are confirmed to do the same,https://qcthemer.net/users/manups4e

*edit
Update makes app fully viewable. Selecting colors of text and background does nothing. it remains white text on grey background. but I am able to move it around to whatever 'corner' I want.

There is a switch above it, just enable it

hah... feel stupid now.
Side note. Turning off the show date switch does nothing (at least for me)

I'll fix it ASAP.
