Create Bip S watchface or convert from Bip
Posted: 05 Jun 2020, 11:17
Few informations for converting Bip watchfaces to Bip S
Infos and Bip S tool taken from here:
Bip S Tools Alpha 230420 mirrored to my yadisk:
Converting from Bip or creating new is nearly the same. No Bip S watchface editor as I know, but Bip editor exists. So create it as a new Bip watchface and "convert" it.
Editor here: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/editor/wa ... ditor/?bip
Always compress/decompress Bip watchfaces with original Bip Tool and Bip S watchfaces with Bip S tool.
Bip S tool does not handle Bip watchfaces, throws error or produce erratic json data.
So for convert, unpack bip watchface with Bip tool, edit json, add preview, and finally pack with Bip S tool.
Bip S watchfaces are not fully decrypted yet, there are many unknown options that we don't know. Eg. there is shortcut support in factory watchfaces and editable watchfaces, but it is unknown how to make them in a new watchface.
Currently known things are nearly the same as original Bip, just some syntax differences, and there is a preview option for background section that will show up in Settings - Watch face menu.
This is a preview of the watchface. I use the static PNG that watchface tool creates, but have to resize to 110x110 pixel to fit to the menu frame.
For the convert, the simplest thing is to put this picture to the last index, so no need to rearrange existing picture numbers. Eg. if last picture is 0074.png then it will be 0075.png and change in json is the following:
Old (Bip) json:
New (Bip S) json:
Above picture shows Preview in watch menu. It has to be 110x110 resolution to fit to the frame in settings menu. Usually I use Bip unpack tool's static preview png and resize it to 110x110 because Bip S unpack tool is early alpha, and does not put pulse and steps numbers to preview pictures png & gif (but will show on real watchface).
Next we have to adjust syntax for Battery, Steps, Pulse, Calories numerical values (no need for images). We have to insert a number section after text section.
Example of battery:
Old:
New:
Activity:
Old:
New:
Distance is the same, there is a "Number" section on original Bip so no need to alter it.
I hope this will be a good starting point to make/edit.
