Latest Mi Fit stopped custom BIP watchfaces!!

[asadulhuq]

Latest Mi Fit version (V 3.5.8) prohibited installing BIP watchfaces. The version currently doesn't show online watchfaces. This is why we can't install custom watchfaces from amazfitwatchfaces any more.
What is your experience regarding this issue?
Please respond if one knows the issue and the solution, if there is any. Thanks in advance.

You can use "watch skin local" (Local watch Face) in Mi Fit to update or change your watch face.
But you must to edit some bytes in the .BIN file In order to make that .bin file can be displayed in "watch skin local"

How to HEX your .BIN to use in "watch skin local" of Mi Fit
1. open your .BIN with HexEdit ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/hmqdynh8dl0lj ... t.zip?dl=0 )
2. on bytes 17 to 24 edit FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF to 0F 00 EE 00 00 00 39 60 and save

I write a small program for patch bytes 17- 24 of BIN with VB . ( for Windows)
The program will work by patch FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF to 0F 00 EE 00 00 00 39 60
use by Double click on file.BIN in screen 2

Thanks to romstemp. Finally I could view my edited watch face in MiFit local watch faces by using your method. However, I do not know why MiFit had to change their app to stop loading the .bin file as usual. BTW, I used HxD (https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/), the hex editor to edit the .bin file. HxD is a free and excellent editor, in my opinion.

Just a question.
How do you add images in a reply on this site? In my case the amazfitwatchfaces stop any image I want to add within my reply. Thanks.
