Discussion of watch faces for Mi Band 4

[mysiak]

I have tried to upload this watch face with N&F and it went through fine. However animation doesn't work at all, all I see is a static image. Other features seem to be working without any issues (time, date, statistics,..).

Thanks. Did remove that line and upload it with Notify&Fitness. Now it's working again.
I will notify the owner of this design.

Not mine WF as well, but used your suggestion to edit the json and it works fine. Thanks a ton!

Hello guys,
I have a doubt about the WeekDay. Can we have different positions for each weekday, that is image of monday at one position, image of tuesday at another position, etc?
Curremtly the WeekDay portion in json is like this
"Date": {
"WeekDay": {
"X": 53,
"Y": 24,
"ImageIndex": 21,
"ImagesCount": 21
}
}
Do you guys have done this or is it just impossible?

Hi guys,
I have a problem with layers. My intention is to create a watchface with hours digits over minutes digits with a little shadow. The problem is that the tool do exactly the opposite and draws minutes over hours. Trying to solve this problem I modified the code of the tool in:

namespace WatchFace.Parser.Models
{
public enum DrawingOrderPosition
{
MinuteOnes = 1,
MinuteTens,
HourOnes,
HourTens
}
}

In this way, in the .png and .gif preview, the watchface is correct with hours over minutes. But when I load the .bin file in the Mi Band it's different from the preview, and minutes are over hours. How can I resolve this problem? Can someone help me?

Thanks

I have seen watch faces that display all the days in one row, maybe something like this one? https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/mi-band-4/view/14449


[mention]GUEST1234[/mention]
I don't think it's possible, it shows in the preview because the tool was converted but the mi band doesn't support those functions. So in the case of time I think the "default" layering is from bottom to top (hour tens, hour ones, minute tens, minute ones) no matter how you rearange the code inside of the time bracket - you can try positioning the minute bracket before the hour but I don't think it'll make any difference.

And I think that's the biggest downside in mi band watch faces, no way to layer

Also I thought that maybe the Mi Band was able to layer minutes and hour only in this way. But why one of the three default Watchface in the Band has hours digits over minutes? I think there must be a way to implement this configuration in a .bin file.

I have a feeling those watch faces are hard coded. While doing a quick search I didn't find anything about that but I did find that we can replace the menu icons. However, I doubt that's worth doing since only more tech savvy people will be able to install them, and there's a risk to brick the device if not done properly.

Thank you so much for the reply.
I already implemented the same way as the watchface you mentioned. Actually that's not what I meant eventhough it's like a partial solution. In this one also the weekday images are in same position, but text position inside weekday image is changed alternately. What I meant was separate image x,y positions in json file for each weekdays. Seems like it's impossible now.
I think the above method is the only way to do it as of now.

Hi,
Is there any chance to find a watchface only with steps/HR/battery? I love and own the classic watches (automatics most of them) so I'm wearing my MI on my right hand. I don't need time/date as I can see it on my watch, so it would be useful to see only the health/battery data on the MI, or at least see these datas in big size and the watch/date as small as they can.
Thank you!

@kuzo

Since you requested it I've made one just for you, and for anyone else who was searching for a similar watch face. I hope it meets your requirements but if you have any further requests you can leave a comment on the watch face page

Hi, I just mada a simple watchface, but when I applied to mi band 4, cant see it, the icon of update remains beside to be applied, and when I restart the band the screen is black totally.

[Jackall Digital]

[mention]Hateeyes[/mention] can you send the .bin file so we can see the watch face, otherwise we can't say what the problem is.

[Hateeyes]

Of course, here is the file.

[Jackall Digital]

I would say you're missing a very crucial part namely the "Background". The background always starts with image index 0 (0000.png) then you can add the time and other elements.

Code: Select all

{
  "Background": {
    "Image": {
      "X": 0,
      "Y": 0,
      "ImageIndex": 0
    }
  },
  "Time": {
    .
    .
    .
    .

If the background is black I have to use a png filed with black anyway?
..
and thanks that work very well.
