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!

Whenever I try to add 5 activity displays to the watch, they all disappear once the watchface is on my watch (steps, PAI, pulse, distance, calories). They all show up fine in WFPreview, and it works fine on the watch whenever it is just 4 activities.

Here is the watchface I made /mi-band-5/view/2026 , I have also attached it.
Try adding in PAI under activities and you'll see that they all disappear once synced to the watchface. Any idea why?

[Tactics1984]

I have always the Problem that a Virus/Maleware is in MiBandWFTool_2.1.6.zip

[Redler91]

Hello,
I would like to use this great program to make my own WF for my MiBand 5, but i can't do it!
It seems that there is a Virus in some .exe files. I also visit the site that you suggest "Virustotal" (page 17) and it confirms that the file is corrupted!
Please, can you update the tool and correct the error?? pleeeeeease

[Yife Playte]

Hey there!
Seems like there's another "new unknown element" in the new version of "panda" watchface.
Here's the file. Thanks for all your effort.

Hi. I hope you can help me. I did a Watchface (miband5) with MiBandWFTool but I've a bug that I can't solve.
When I install the watchface in miband5 everything shows up perfectly for 2 seconds, after that everything disappear only the background and time stays on screen.

The watchface json have background, time (with seconds), activity, date, weather, stepsprogress, status and battery.

Can you help me identify the problem?

"Seconds": {
},
"UnknownV11": 0 0< --- What is this line for? Could be this the problem?
},
"Activity": {

Thank you in advance!

[RobEarth]

I've read somewhere, the miband5 firmware have a bug in the "seconds" that makes it wipeout all the other stats. I did the watchface without "seconds" and it works just fine.

That's right, unfortunately. There's an issue with the seconds and other information on the watchface.

Hi. Other bug that i found it's the wind is only visible when the MiBand5 it set in English language. In others languages the wind it's empty

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
The wind speed only appears when the band is in the English language.
I'm using MiBandWFTool_2.1.6 a Mi Band 5 and an Amazfit Band 5 (both accept the same watchfaces).

This is the code I used:

"Wind": {
"Text": {
"TopLeftX": 75,
"TopLeftY": 195,
"BottomRightX": 0,
"BottomRightY": 0,
"Alignment": "TopRight",
"SpacingX": 4,
"SpacingY": 0,
"ImageIndex": 12,
"ImagesCount": 10
},
"ImageSuffixEN": 77
},

Thank you.

[RobEarth]

Im not sure, but i believe the proble is in this next line:

"ImageSuffixEN": 77

EN its for English.
Try to check the JSON code on other multilanguage watchfaces to check how they do it

Thank you!
I checked other codes and I couldn't find anyone that has wind speed and works when the band is in other language than english. I only found these 3 variations of this line:
"ImageSuffixEN": 77
"ImageSuffixCN1": 77
"ImageSuffixCN2": 77
So, it works for the English language and 2 Chinese variations. I tried to remove this option and also to change the language ( "ImageSuffixPT", "ImageSuffixES", "ImageSuffix") but nothing works.
I receive the following message when I changed the "ImageSuffixEN" to the other options:

"Debug|Reading config...
Fatal|********************************************************************************
Fatal|[ERROR]Could not find member 'ImageSuffixPT' on object of type 'Wind'. Path 'Weather.Wind.ImageSuffixPT', line 238, position 21."

Any ideas on how to write this part properly?

I discovered today this app to develop watchfaces for miband 5. It comes with a build in "element library" you should give it a try. Its still in beta.

Hi everyone, I have recently started creating watch faces, and I am in possession of the amazfit band 5.
Through this tool I have had problems with the weather icon, even if in the preview everything seems to be inserted perfectly, when I install it in band 5, the weather icon moves to other coordinates.
how can i solve?

[lvpokka]
