Absolutely amazing Manu!
I now have a main watchface, including notifications and weather forecast, then two separate windows, one with music controls and one with an app grid, created using "WatchFace Widgets by NeFa" and "Remote Widget". Largely makes up for the default UI of the Smartwatch 2 being so basic and non-configurable. I wonder if Smartwatch 3 next week will have a UI that beats this!

Excuse me, how did you add the remote widget as a watchface?

I used 'watchface widgets by nefa' to create icons on a watchface, linking directly to remote widget pages.

Unfortunately I've had to stop using this functionality though, I found the multiple watchfaces just don't work well now for some reason. I find few widgets are actually clickable from the watchface, which is a complete pain. Even though it worked perfectly initially!

Has anybody else found this? Or is clicking on a widget performing the correct action for anybody reliably?

I also found this problem. Sometimes the widgets in the watchface do not get the tap. I uninstalled the multi watchface extension and although the problem is still there, it is a lot less common.

Hi this is Great! But can you mod the smart connect apk with a newer version? Because on the Xperia Z3 you cant removed it and its a newer version than your apk so it cannot be installed.

Attached pic with stock version compared to yours.

Thanks in advance alot!

Is anyone else using the modified apps on Android 5? I just upgraded my nexus 4 to this, and now my smartwatch 2 is in a constant state of connecting and disconnecting.

Yes, please tell (I hope is not the HD widgets App, I depend on it).
I also find out that running Real Racing 3 (last version 2.7) does a weird interference with the bluetooth connection, making the SW2 vibrate constantly for continuous disconnections. I disabled the vibration for connectivity notifications and I turn off the bluetooth before playing.
