AmazFit WatchFace editor for Windows by SashaCX75

[SashaCX75]

Graphics editor for working with dials Amazfit
The editor supports watch faces from GTR 47, GTR 42, GTS, T-Rex, Verge Lite.

Screenshot

Note: the path to the program should not contain spaces, it is advisable to unpack it to the root of the disk.
Not all dials can be unpacked.
You can reduce the size of the bin file only by reducing the size of the images (height * width) or by reducing the number of images.

The drawing order of elements cannot be changed. The only exception is if you move the second hand from the center, it will be drawn under the hour and minute hands.

If the .bin file is not created, then you need to look for errors in the .log file. Most often this happens when images have the wrong format.

If the bin file is not created, and the log file contains the entry “bad transparency mask”, this means that the format of one or more images is incorrect (most often it occurs if you save the image in Photoshop without transparent pixels). You can fix it as follows:
- in Photoshop - add at least one transparent pixel
- in GIMP exported to PNG 16 bit RGBA
- in XnView - Image -> 32 bits

Beta version of the editor with support for Amazfit X

AmazFit WatchFace editor 2 with support for GTR 2, GTS 2, T-Rex Pro

My editor doesn't work with GTR2 (GTS2) watch faces and I have no plans to add support for these models anytime soon. I don't know any other programs that can work with these dials. I have no information if anyone is working in this direction.

Because I bought a GTR 2e, the program will no longer be updated.

Version: 6.1
Short Description: Graphic editor for working with Amazfit GTR / GTS / T-Rex dials

The version (without puthon) differs from the regular version only in the utility for unpacking bin files that comes bundled and does not require python installation (it may not work on 32-bit systems).

Note: the path to the program should not contain Russian letters, it is advisable to unpack it to the root of the disk.
Not all dials can be unpacked.

If the bin file is not created, and the log file has the entry "bad transparency mask", this means that the format of one or more images is incorrect. You can fix it as follows:
- in Photoshop - Save for web -> Preset PNG-24
- in GIMP exported to PNG 16 bit RGBA
- in XnView - Image -> 32 bits

Hi all,

[mention]osmat[/mention] Thank you for the version 6.1, with this one I could edit a WF this morning and was super easy.

I ask a little help regarding the compression/packing. I edited a existing WF, adding other elements, like Calories and distance, etc.
It worked fined the virst version, but as I kept adding the features (steps, heart rate) and from other WF I got the weather icons.
Butduring the packing process, 2 lines appear in the console. "Unknown Watchface 16", wrote two times, see image 1.
After that I get the message "Uncompressed file size exceeds 1.95MB. Dial may not work", see image 2.

My package is 2.44MB, the compressed is 220 kB.

Is there something I could do? I tried removing each feature I was adding but couldn't get it working properly again.

Also attached are the previews for the watchface.
Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot in advance.

[SashaCX75]

The message "Unknown Watchface 16" appears when there are shortcuts in the project - do not pay attention.
You can reduce the project by reducing the number of pictures or out of the size in pixels. Disabling individual functions has virtually no effect on size.

[mention]SashaCX75[/mention] Thanks a lot for the explanation! I'm right now trying to reduce it.
I noticed that there were a lot of copies of the days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc) I deleted those and I'll try to reduce the size of the status icons also.
Is there any other tips you suggest to reduce it?

Obs. I could "Install" the oversized version, but I can only see the hours and the icons of the background, nothing more, and afte around 30min, the watch started vibrating continuously and them restarted. After some tries I could restart it and put a official watch face, but maybe this can indicate something. Just reporting, might help in some way.

Again, thanks a lot for the help!

[SashaCX75]

Is there any other tips you suggest to reduce it?

The number of pictures to display the day of the week can be reduced to 7 (sometimes there are 21).
In addition to reducing the number of images and their size in pixels, I do not know other ways to reduce the file size. Trying to optimize PNG files does not make sense. When saving to a bin file, they are still converted to another format.

[pv_sa]

Thank a lot [mention]SashaCX75[/mention].

While trying to reduce the size some minues ago. It started bootlooping, going only until the log, give a little sinal of vibration, then the screen turns black. I read in the link bellow that you can hard reset the watch to the QR code by pressing the two buttons, but its not working.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartw ... p-t3963953

Do you have any idea what could have happened or a suggestion on how to fix this?

Should have let the pros handle this watch face stuff... sh!t... I'm only 2 weeks with the watch.

Again, thanks for the help

[pv_sa]

Found the fix for the bootloop!

https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartw ... p-t4016561

its fixed. for fix it, put to charge. go to amazfit app and change the watchface for one of the app and it fixed itself. use this if someone have this problem

This solved my problem! Hope it help others!

Reduce the size....

You can just totally kill the preview PNG, if it's not already done.
Put a 1pixel X 1Pixel picture and name it 0001. [ if you want to make it later and to pack with 0001 inside the package ]
or don't use it [ It's allowed by the Gui tool so why not^^.... ]

User will understand if you explain on the description why there's no preview [ Gain space ]

[chazey2]

Hi guys, I'm messing around to try just adapting a pre made face just for my own use only. I've added shortcuts and copied and pasted the shortcut part of Json from another pre made face with shortcuts. I can see when adjust my shortcut placement the Json file adjusts to the new placements I make (x,y)
When pack I get two files 1 .bin file and one _packed.bin I've tried loading both on the watch it either goes to pre made face without my changes or the original amazfit that I over wrote the bin file in.
Any pointers please.
As I say not trying to copy others hard work would just like adapt my favourite face (Focused smoke v2 by nightwatch) as I have poor eyesight without my glasses and I can see the time etc without glasses.
Thanks

[SashaCX75]

Any pointers please.

1. Unpack the dial
2. In the section "Shortcuts" include the necessary
3. Save the json file
4. Pack the dial
5. In the folder with the unpacked dial you find the file name_packed_zip.bin or name_packed.bin and install it on the watch

[chazey2]

Thanks Sasha will give it a go again.

Thanks a lot for the tip [mention]Lordalpine[/mention], this for sure will save a lot of space in my next WF, great tip!

Hello, when I try to create the watchface .bin file I created this error appears, what can it be? the editor's folder from Sasha is in the root folder D:, already installed python, use win10


[fatal] [WinError 2] the system cant find arquive...

[SashaCX75]

If a dialog box pops up with an error, then it is better to attach a screenshot of this window with an error so that it is clear what is at stake. You can try resetting the program.
If the bin file is simply not created, but there is a log file, then you need to look in it.

hello, can someone tell me, what to do to put the hands of the clock, when the clock is on one side of the dial, I do not get it, when I keep to see the result, the needles walk around the dial

If I understand correctly, you need to move the clock hands from the center of the dial.
For this there is a parameter "Axis offset"

[Lordalpine]

[mention]rubiales41[/mention]



Put time at Midnight / 00:00
-> Easiest position to adjust [ For other hand like battery // heartrate it work the same ]

Select White Grid or black grid [ It's a nice help to make perfect Hand turn ]


Center of the Hand perfectly centered


Center Minute Hand [ X horizontal // Y Vertical ]
Axis Offset is where you want to put the hand [ Hour and Minute Here : X 133 // Y 219.... so my hour and minute hand are placed on the right ]


Some advice : Look how much pixel is your center of hand...
Here It's a 3 pixel created from scratch[ So It's easy^^ ]


-> Center of background is 227 [ 454*454 background right ? ]
-> Put a pixel horizontal size with paired number [ 20 // 22 // 24 // 26 etc... ] and put the hand one pixel on the left on your PNG
or
-> Put a pixel horizontal size with unpaired number [ 21 // 23 // 25 // 27 etc ] and center the hand on your PNG

Just writing this because, when you want to make a face already existing for other device... the hand are not scaled, and when you resize them...
Center Hand pixel and all the pixel are splitted on two [ Then It's Harder to edit for colour variant for exemple ]
4/6/8/10 pixel Horizontal hand size will be 1 pixel on the left or 1 pixel on the right.... [ It will make you mad^^ ]

Or the Hand are not really really 100% centered when they turn...

The advice is to get Pixel align [ and not splitted in two on PNG ] and perfect align on face
[ and sometimes you loose time because you forget this ]

great! work here, but how create a animation? i have 4 frames

[SashaCX75]

The editor does not currently support animation.
Animation can be added manually by editing the json file. What the animation section should look like here.

hello, how is it done, or where can I find the time points and minutes to make analog clocks ?, thank you very much
