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!

I finished making my watch face with this tool, but when I want to compile it it says it is greater than 615kb, it says it is 1093 kb, but in reality is just 511kb, the problem seems to be a gif included in the watchface (it has 30 frames) and when I set it to 10, it can compile it, I'm not really sure why though, here's the log error part, I can't include the pastebin link :/

Set "UsePaletteMode" value="1" in file WatchFace.exe.config

It works great but I think this has a virus or bug, maybe unintentional.
Aside from windows defender alerts, after using this software my browser started to randomly freeze
Is anyone else experiencing the same?

Yes, read this topic

Hi. ;-D New here. I've got the same problem. No threats are found after scanning my disk, but I'm not going any further until someone says it's okay to proceed. "Read this topic" isn't very helpful with 22 pages, you know.

Not a virus, or you can just do not user Viewer, main wf tool app is not classified as virus.

Hello,
Thanks for this tool, I had great fun with it creating faces for my Amazfit Bip. I have a Mi Band 5 now and I'd like to create some more. I prefer the ones that hide all other info except for the clock when in locked mode. That saves some battery in the "lift wrist to view info" mode or if you just want to know the time and makes the band cooler.

It's really simple to do, you just need to replace the lock icon with a black background that has a cut where the clock is. The problem is that, no matter what I try, there are elements on the screen that can't be hidden in this way because they are shown above. I'm not very good at this but I think it's because of the order in which different elements are activated.
Is there a way to make the lock icon somehow activate last?
Thanks

The temperature would disappear sometimes on the Mi band 5.

Thanks for your answer Ivpokka, and thank you for creating and sharing the tool. I'm going to use it. I hope to have great fun creating WFs.

By the way, my error. I was having the virus warning with version 2.1.6 only, while I was supposed to use 1.4.2 (I have a Mi Band 4).

Just click and drag the BIN file to unpack (or the JSON file to pack) over the tool (EXE file).

I'm trying to modify a PipBoy watchface for the Mi Band 5, all I do is change the position on day and month so it goes DD. MM instead of MM. DD but when I compile the modified JSON I get this error:
"Fatal|[ERROR] Watchface is greater than 615kb, it will not be accepted by Mi Band 5, please reduce size! Current size:1015kb."
But even if I don't edit the JSON I still get this error, could someone please help me?

Hello!

I downloaded mibandwftool v. 2.1.6. When I click and drag a wf bin file over the WatchFace.exe, I get forbidden icon, and the bin file doesn't get unpacked. I am a bit frustrated that I don't even get started. Any pointer will be appreciated.

Thank you!

Did you unzip the file before dragging the bin? Or you can try to download it again?

[dheerajmalviya007]

Whenever i download mi band 5 tool, my Windows defender deletes it automatically idk why, defender says it has virus...

Any solution?

[hyperaesthetic]

Hello!

Well, I unzipped the WF.exe, but not the bin file.

It seems fairly straightforward, but it doesn't work for me. I tried downloading it to a different computer, but I have the same problem.
