Tool Description
1. The tool is based on a modified version of AmazfitBipTools, thanks to the original open source .
2. The tool supports unpacking, packing of the official watch face bin file.
3. Mi band 4 supports 16,581,375 colors.
4. Mi band 5 supports 15,499,008 colors.

How to
1. Unzip MiBandWFTool_X.X.zip.
2. Download .bin file from catalog or get standard watchface file.
3. Drag the .bin file to WatchFace.exe (in step 1. , get the decompressed file)
(if there is only one log file, the decompression failed).

4. There are two ways to modify the dial.
  • is to modify the corresponding image file and replace it with what we want.
  • is to modify the corresponding json file and modify the position of the image.
5. After all the modifications are completed, drag the modified json into WatchFace.exe in step 1 to get the corresponding bin file
(the file name depends on the name of the bin. If the .bin file is not generated, the package is wrong)

6. Copy the newly generated bin file to the corresponding directory of the mobile phone, and the synchronization will be completed. (This step is not very clear, you can refer to the original tutorial) above, you're done!

Hello!
I tested it the V4.1.0. (MiBand 6)
He is out of order unfortunately. After the making of a dial does not contain .bin file.
There is a hope onto the correction?

Firmware bug? Or is the screen of my Mi band 6 faulty?
Image
https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/mi-band-6/view/3455

This watch face has 3 lines running along the edges (yellow, red and green).
On my Mi band 6 the yellow line is missing everywhere, in fact at the beginning of the curves all lines are missing. At the very top and bottom, green and red are back.
Please install the watch face on your Mi band 6 and let me know here how it looks on yours.
Thank you very much in advance.

@ivpokka Will be great in next versions of the tool, put the layer of the tens upper than the ones (in hors, minutes and secconds). So we can create, for example, 60 figures that can be colorized one by one every minute or every seccond! That will be amazing to create new things. Thanks in advance

No, mi band 7 running on Zepp OS, you can write any watchface or application using official docs.
Now you need to know programming language. (special javascript)
You can create even games on it) any logic.

Looks like modding for MiBand will be dead since 7th generation, sadly. That was the only reason I had MiBand, so it's time to switch for different smartwatch ;/

What about mi band 8? It isn't running on Zepp OS, do you know its OS? Are you working on a new version for your software? Are you in contact with Xiaomi or anyone can develop it and I couldn't find how?

Good morning everyone,
I have the Mi Band 8 and I can't put it on my phone and it tells me it's not compatible with the Mi Band 8.

There is something wrong?

I attach my project to you.

Thanks for your help.

Good day
