Watch Facemaker

[dodgePT]

Here it is, v0.85b.

So many new features and still so many to implement.
Here are a few:
- Project converter from 46mm to 42mm;
- Circular text generation (needs polishing, but it works);
- Improved Circle widget preview;
- Text generation for Circle and Line widgets;
- Text generation with gradient (not available for circular text yet);
- Project image optimizer;
- Improved snapshot;
- Save image to Templates (this was requested by some, it's an early implementation, because we still need a template manager, but it's manageable already);
- Early implementation for Temperature Max and Min (still testing, I hope it works because, I have a GT1, and the GT1 doesn't have Temp Min/Max);

Marko, my fellow developer, said this version wasn't ready for release and he's probably right.
I just couldn't delay it further and wanted to share it, because I wanted people to experience the great new UI he designed.
Just keep in mind we'll be actively working on it everyday, improving all features and polishing the UI/UX even more.
To those who donate, I'll be adding their names to the "About" dialog!

Keep visiting my GDrive, I'll be updating the binary as we add new features.
As you may understand, we don't own all the watches supported by this software. We have a GT1 46mm and a GT2 42mm.
There's still some confusion regarding the fonts supported by the watches (on Text widgets), and as it seems, it also depends on the firmware (later firmwares support more fonts). Huawei does not reveal which ones (that I know of), so if one font doesn't work for you, try another and give me feedback.

To those having problems with Rotary-Hours or Image Set-Hours, just try the other alternatives. If 12 Hour doesn't work, use 24 or Auto. I still don't have a pattern that would allow me to tell which one will work for each of you.

Soon, I'll be adding support for Amazfit GTR, GTS and eventually Verge.
Bands are also in the way, the first ones will be Huawei 3 and 4, and eventually, Mi band and Amazfit Bip.

Finaly, sorry to all the guys who tried to contact me lately and I didn't answer.
I've been having some pretty rough days. Some of you know why and many also know I always reply, so if I didn't, please insist.
My email is [email protected], and I'm always available to help in whatever I can.

Here's the link to the latest version:

I'll also start adding links to the official channels on the several social networks:

great software !!!! but I have performance problems : (

Hi guys,
I really have to state this piece of software makes me very happy !!!! , but I´m having problems with my own custom made faces although.
I converted some old Samsung watchfaces to the hfm format with facemaker and the GUI is really cool.
I played around with lots of settings and I tried to shrink filesize by reducing bit depth and reducing colors.
But I always end up with watchfaces that stutter and slow down the performance of the watch significantly.
even the seconds hand ticks only every 2nd or third second.
Anyone has similar problems or a solution for this ?
I have a S9+ with filemanager pro and I´m using the TaiChi method to upload. All ready to use watchfaces work great even custom made ones I downloaded from this forum. I'm using Photoshop to make the graphics and I export layers in 8bit or 24 bit as pngs.
kind regards and thanks for help
Oliver

Nuno Bessa himself told me to
stop using 390x390 hands images
crop them to use the least space possible
that's usually the problem

and he was right, worls like a smooth watch now Thanks+

Ok. The Facemaker program folder was in a path with a folder that has space in the name. I moved it.

Is there a way to convert HWT to HFM or not only extract images from HWT but also widgets data and their positions?

 

[Parka71]

Hello I have a problem with the Watch GT2 in the temperature adjustment part. I make a hwt file. But when I enter the clock, there is no data for the maximum and minimum temperature, but in the min.temp field. the data of the steps that have been traveled and the field where the steps are. When I do the face again, with maximum and minimum temperatures, the place advances. What is the problem Answer if I am doing something or it is a software problem because I read at https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/huawei-watch/watch-facemaker-t4065203 that the maximum and minimum temperature field does not It is checked on Watch GT2. I would ask for your answer.

Super quick and very noob question, but how do I install the app on Linux? I've downloaded it from your Google Drive but can not find any install instructions so I'm lost

Simply exctract zip file, give execute permission on file Facemaker (not sure if remember correctly the name but will be near) with command chmod +x Facemaker, and execute them ./Facemaker

guys I tried to use this program..I cant save the watchface that I made..the errors always prompting like cannot find the patch.

Hi
Great watchface maker. Previously used a similar one to create faces for Amazfit Bip so, after a wee refresher, I was able to create a nice face. Unfortunately, now that I've finished it, I can't get the damn thing to export to .hwt file, it's stuck on "wrapping up". I've been over it again and again and don't see any problems. Any ideas?
I've made sure not to have any "white spaces" or symbols in my program folder or target folder. I've even put both folders on root of C: drive and tried compatibilty mode and run in admin. I've even tried stripping out every widget except the background but I can't get it to compile the final file. Rage.

go to folder where you saved app, --->
huawei_watch_face_maker-win32-ia32_v066b\packager,

delete

Output folder and

com.huawei.watchface file

Hi. Thanks for answering. Tried all that too. In the end, I solved my problem by borrowing my mother's ancient Win7 laptop, transfered all the files and it worked first time! Weird, cos my pc is a beast. Now, I have to design on my desktop, transfer .hfm onto a usb drive, copy onto the laptop and export from there. The problem seemed to be with the execution of the cmd box - on my pc, it would pop up quickly then dissapear whereas on the laptop, the full box would come up, compile, the give the "press any key to continue" instruction.

A few questions regarding Facemaker and I'm not sure this is possible: could we get weather icons in our watchface, based on the forecast? And about days and months, I can only get a numeric value, but can't translate this into words, or can I?
