Previous thread : /thread/387/clockskin-universal-launcher-standalone-app

"Nothing as changed, but everything is new ! "

I’ve spent the last 3 month removing completely the clock engine in pure java and integrating a new framework (Cocos2dx) in C++ / Lua to replace it.
Why this framework : it’s a game framework that offers great performance and that is used in the superb watchmaker application.
Once again i started from scratch, nothing was existing, even the clockskin is done from scratch.

So what’s new with Cocos ?

  • smooth animation at 60 fps even on very big watchmaker skin (was only 5-10 fps with big skins in previous version).
  • less memory usage : only a few Mo is used (from 100Mo to 10Mo for the same skin)
  • less CPU usage : from 50% to 22% for the same skin
  • Still not 100% compatible with watchmaker files but it’s not very far now…
  • clockskin compatibility is not 100%… battery charging is not managed for example…

Little demo :

Feature demo video in this thread: 
/thread/1004/les1-launcher-watchawear-faces

Notes :

  • Pulsing default skin is not a bug, it’s a feature that shows that the engine is working good.
  • To use the wrist on gesture (with compatible watch), disable the system one and enable mine in the settings.
  • If you want to uninstall : first you need to go in launcher settings 3rd screen and click little button with “Uninstall me”, then go to system settings locate app settings there and uninstall there.

Features :

  • .watch file support (only not protected format)

  • clockskin file support is not full : are missing arraytype : 17, 18, 97, 98 and 99

  • date/time/stopwatch tags (reference here watchmaker.haz.wiki/).

  • battery tags (except temp)

  • sensor tags only steps/HR/accelerometer

  • NEW some “series” tag support (only minute / hour)

  • NEW timezone / weather

  • NEW “skin pref” dialog in the 3rd setting page : the Main location is used for weather, the others are for timezone. You can also choose C or F for temperature.

  • No counter/phone/device/calendar/tasker tags

  • full script support

  • NEW full shape / shader support

  • markers / text (carriage return is not seen)

  • NEW text shader support

  • Bright / Dim mode, multi screen support

  • NEW full lua support with wmschedule, tweens but no wmtransition…

  • Double tap opens a dialog box where you can : choose between Night and Day mode, adjust the zoom factor and choose the skin.

  • clockskin Skins can be read in ZIP format : no need to decompress a skin in the ClockSkin directory, just put the zip file.
    Note the the ZIP file should not contain the skin in a sub directory.

launcher bug fixes :
- widgets should be now alive

Wow, so many thanks for your work! A dream of all! Thanks again!

Hi, as I tried your last version on a Finow X5+ which wasn’t working, this release is working fine.
The only thing I can mention is that the font size is too big, so it cuts the font in the middle.
I don’t know if it is about the german language I choose or if it is an issue on the LEMFO Lem5 watch with Finow X5+ Software

Edit: I took the round skin now for the app. Without text it looks better :slight_smile:

Thank you for the effort, trying now…shoulde be good at all…!

Nice work. Works on a Z01 square watch. I have not test it completely but so far it works great. Will report back if I notice anything unusual. Fantastic work. Donation is in order. :slight_smile:

 Are those watch skins in the demo available or just to show what this app can you.?

7

Little hint: if you have issues with changing the watch face, change the bright mode manually to a smaller one and keep your finger on the black ground out of the watch face.

Update:
Someone got it solved that the app assumes that it is square and not round?
I reinstalled it already. But it keeps the wrong settings saved

Update 2:
I solved it already:
it was necessary to delete the “WatchTmp” folder on the watch and I also deleted the “WachClockSkin_” file (I don’t see the whole name of the file on the watch).
After that I installed the Universal Launcher again and all is working fine

Hi Eric I’ve been following and using your Universal Launcher .allow me to post some observation to your new clock launcher.
positive

  • it LAUNCH SOME ANIMATION IN THE WATCH SKIN

  • it very smooth and very crisp in graphics

  • it projects great improvements when i come to animations

negative

  • i notice in some zips and watch it projects wrong positioning/ battery bar / and sometime it doesnt show the watch face , wherein in prev version it show
  • well no heart rate yet

this is only to give a feedback for future correction

PS:
Hopefully you remove the bright and scale mode , preference on the clock setting its agood ide, also the delay seems to be an advantage to avoid false trigger
again good improvement sir , thumbs up good Job

As always the launcher comes naked, except for the default one, you have to put the skins you like.

Here is a watch skin that used to work with the version 1.1.8 and not does not work with 2.0. It shows only the minute and hour hands. Nothing else. :frowning:

See the image. here of what it looks like with version 2.0     ufile.io/616ca

Eric, have a look.

Watchface skin available here.
