Getting bin files

Post by Jammal »

Man oh man, I've been wrecking my head on this for 3 days straight. I've downloaded pretty much every WF editor on this site but I still can't get any of them to work.

Is it not at all possible to get .bin files anymore? I can download watch faces just fine on my PC, but none of them are in .bin format. I tried to get them off my phone too, but with android 11 this is apparently not possible anymore.

I'm at a loss boys, you're my only hope.

I think at least You should say which device you are talking about, otherwise it will be difficult for someone to help you with this.

Hello there. I have the GTR4 but I will honestly take whatever version I can get my hands on. Even if I get a bin file for any of the past GTR's, I might be able to convert it using the tools on this site.

I'm not trying to do anything super fancy, there are many pre-made designs that I like but I would really like to use the "luminescence" style dials for the AOD screen, like the ones found on the designs meant to replicate the rolex, patek etc. but having a different, premade design for the "on" screen.

Android 11 has really thrown a spanner in the works. Been trying to access those files for a few days but sadly, no luck.

As far as i know No tool can convert a GTR (BIN) watch face to a GTR4 (ZiP) watch face.
If you want to bring a GTR watch face for use with GTR4, you need to unpack the GTR (BIN) and bring the image resource to built the GTR4 watchface only.

Program for Edit , pack , unpack GTR ( BIN )

Ohh I understand now.

Unfortunately, the dials I was trying to edit were all made by the same person and I think he has an error in them. I thought that the program works only with .bin files. I understand now that the program for gtr4 works with .zip. I downloaded a watch face made by different people and it unpacks it fine.

I guess, If I may bother you a bit more, would you know if this error has a fix?


Image

I get this error for every .png file and every dial by the same person is the same. I translated it, basically it say that it has a problem opening the image and then fails to load it.

possibly encrypted png only for the owner of the work which cannot be accessed by normal programs.
In this section, it is advisable to ask the author of the work.
