Need opinions for my new application

Mi Create is a simple to use watchface designer made for non Huami manufactured Xiaomi wearables (Xiaomi watch series, any Xiaomi band newer than the Band 7 & Redmi Watch series)

It's made to be as easy to use as possible, no pitfalls or nasty caveats, no sluggish UI and no fancy excessive features that can be confusing. Simply an application that arranges, designs and makes watchfaces for your watch. Plus, its free and open source.

Currently its in heavy development, so expect major changes before I'm fully happy with it and published on the main topic.

The app is made to replace EasyFace so project files are in the .fprj standard (basically an XML file). Support for other project files like json based ones compatible with BandBBS's GMF compiler is planned.

Screenshots attached to the post were from way back when, but is similar to 0.3. I will update them once 1.0 releases which has a massive UI update.

If you want to see how to use the application, you can view the Mi Create documentation (currently has some things that aren't quite finished yet) at https://ooflet.github.io/docs

You can download the latest release at https://github.com/ooflet/Mi-Create/releases

When I want to open a project that I made in easyface this appears:

"Widget 1001 not implemented in canvas, please report as issue."

Special widgets from EasyFace like WeatherIcon and WeekIcon are unsupported and do not plan to be supported, use ImageLists. Currently it is also in beta testing and is not fully polished, I will post into the main watchface topic once it's done.

Thank you very much, it worked, now how do I transfer it to my watch? or how do I convert it to bin format?

*
I renamed *.face to *.bin and it worked

Hello, will there be support for Redmi Watch 4 for spheres in the application?

@vaja Currently the program does not support S1 active, if you want to make watchfaces you may visit the Mi Create documentation at https://ooflet.github.io/docs however it is not quite done yet.

Hello, the antivirus detects it as a virus.

@rfenix15 False positive, compiled python projects get flagged by antiviruses because beginner virus devs use python to make their viruses and antivirus companies cut the time and money required to detect these viruses so they outright flag every python app that has a shred of resemblance to these viruses. What antivirus are you using so I can submit a false positive report to them? And what version of Mi Create were you trying to install?

I'll try your editor
I want to create WF for a Xiaomi Redmi Watch 3 Active
...
is there somewhere some sample files to use the editor for this Watchtype?

@RTMhun I don't have any on hand, you may use the documentation to help guide you with the basics of using the editor. If you have any questions that are not on the Mi Create documentation, you can refer to EasyFace's documentation at https://github.com/m0tral/EasyFace/wiki/HomeEN because Mi Create is based on EasyFace's format. Otherwise please contact me or the Mi Watch Development Telegram group for further assistance.

I just made a watchface with your tool. I love it, easy, simple and open source.

I run into one questions though: How do I setup the watchface for Mi Band 8 for the Always on Display (AOD).

Currently when the clock switches to AOD the watchface changes to one that supports AOD. Is this already supported in your app or is this missing?

If you take this online editor there is place for a second watchface for AOD displays: mibandwatchfaces.com/mi_band8_watchface_maker and in the JSON there are elements_normal and elements_aod if you load an example watchface.

@OneWatchface Thank you! It's not documented anywhere yet, but to create an AOD for the watchface you need to create a new project within the watchface folder named "AOD". From there you can open the AOD.fprj file using Mi Create and edit as a normal watchface. Here's an example project for Mi Band 8 with an AOD: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oP5DgX ... srvADht0m/

For now it is like this because the compiler was originally built for EasyFace and its nuances. EasyFace has.. well.. no easy (😅) way to make AOD for watchfaces, so workarounds had to be made by the compiler dev to get AOD working.

I may add a simple toggle to make + edit AOD in the next major release of Mi Create once all the crucial features have been added and if I have time, but it is definitely planned to be added to a future release.

@tostr Thank you for the quick reply and the example project. Your explanation was plenty and it worked like a charm.

I think your tool is a great add on for the custom watchface community. I didn't install EasyFace due to some concerns but I was really happy when I found yours. Unfortunately I does not seem that well known yet, I always only find easyface mentions. Hope that changes soon!

hello,

this is a great tool! Thank you!!!!

I had build a wf for my redmi watch 3 active.

but i can not upload it to my watch.

with the mi fitness app it is not possible ;(

with the notify app i get a possibility to send custom watchfaces,

it will be loading/sending to the watch, but after 100 % is shown
i get an error-message on my redmi 3 active

" Konnt nicht synchronisiert werden" - "cannot sync"

and then it is aborting ;(

???????? -.-

the redmi watch 3 active is a good watch, but the maximum wf that can be loaded to the watch are 2 own + the 3 pre-installed wf ....

@zuggi1985 I appreciate the feedback! Please follow the steps on the documentation (https://ooflet.github.io/docs/quickstart/testing/) to use and upload your watchface onto m0tral's servers, an alternative to Notify.

If you are making a watchface for the Redmi Watch 3 Active, I'd suggest you use the latest version of EasyFace to compile the watchface which is on m0tral's development telegram. There were some issues with the RW3A because of how different the format is compared to previous watches which were fixed on v4.13. Mi Create v0.3 does not include this compiler.

Mi Create v1.0 will release shortly which includes this new compiler, new lick of paint, tons of under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes.

Hi! I was using the tool last night and I think it's very usefull, great tool. i pack my face for a Redmi Watch 3 Active but.. I can't test if it works because I use iPhone instead of Android.

There are plans for make an app or tool for iPhone users? Have I a way to test if it works at least?

Thanks!

@95xeko69 Hey! Unfortunately there are no plans for the Mi Fitness mod to support iOS. I cannot make or suggest one simply because I do not own an Apple device, the only thing Apple I have is an iMac G4 that's 22 years old 😂

The current Mi Fitness mod dev has already said he will not support iOS devices, you might want to look for an alternative from a different developer.

@zuggi1985 Strange! I've fixed up some parts of your watchface but the issue has not gone away.

Just to inform new watchface makers, reusing images on different widgets will lead to errors!

Regarding the issue, I have contacted the compiler dev for more info, I'll get back to you ASAP.

@zuggi1985 Hey! I have reached out to the dev but no response so far.. just left on read.

Try recreating your project, you'll need to generate images for each widget btw, you cannot reuse images otherwise the watch freaks out.

Also, if you don't mind, try testing out the new 1.0 version of Mi Create, see if there are any things like inconveniences with the version because alot of things were changed. Thanks! ☺️

@zuggi1985 Unfortunately I also gave it a shot and still gives that error no matter what I tried. You could try the old compiler from Mi Create v0.4 because it compiles no problem, but I'm not sure if compatibility is good on that version.
