GTS WF limitations ?
Posted: 18 Jan 2020, 17:18
Hi, I managed to use some tools from here and there to unpack existing Watchfaces, and modify them (even building from early scratch with my own graphic resources), and the repack again into bin and setup in the device.
But I found some issues, I am starting to think as limitations from this device.
Can anyone give a hand?
- Size limit of the resulting bin: I made some design and changes with "GTS-watchface-bundle.zip" and sucessfully installed. But, after adding some more elements and images, the resulting .bin got quite big (up to 1.5MB) and the installing process was failing. Luckilly, using "GTS Watchface Tools" from ilgruppotester, the packed bin for the same WF was smaller enough to be installed (less than 400KB).
Is there any known limitation on the bin size, or how many elements can we put inside the watchface?
- Available data to show: I was adding some data to an existing WF. I was only sucessfull for some of them, but others seem not to work.
Working items are: time (both digits, or dial), day, weekday, monthname, steps count, distance, heartBeats, callories, status (BT, DND, lock, alarm), battery, weather icon, current temperature, and also I shaw hese itmes on multiple WFs with numbers, bars, images, circles...
Not working items seems to be:
- Max & Min temperatures for today: unable to make work Weather-Today-Separate-Day/Night scheme workin gon other amazfit watches (eg. bip). I can see this data shown on the out-of-the-box screen, so the watch has access to these data, but I have not seen these on anay other custom watchface. Is it possible at all?
Is there any guide/specifications doc with instruction on available items on json?
Unavailable items for me:
I can also see humidity, pressure and altitude shown on the standard GTS screens. Are they available to show on WFs? how?
IS it possible to insert widgets or variable itmes like on the first 2 sout of the box screens?
Thanks!
