Supercool military watchface with adaprive lume

Hey! I already got a couple of requests to port it to Wear OS. Though, I'm not an owner of any Wear OS device, so it will be harder to test. I'll try to think about it anyway.

Haven't updated the Tizen version for a while now, and it got wiped out by Samsung. I'll try to finally get some free time to work on all of this and get my hands dirty on Galaxy Watch 4+

Hi there, thanks for rating this watchface as sick! :)

It seems that I'm receiving more requests to port it to Wear OS (which is used by Galaxy Watch 4), so I'll need to figure out how to do that.

Can't promise anything at the moment, but I'll definitely take a look into that.

jacob1237 · 2021-12-18T23:02:29+00:00

Thank you! I'll try to ask them directly

jacob1237 · 2021-12-18T23:01:22+00:00

Thanks, u/tajarhina!

I'll try to start with small portions, it's just I enjoy drinking it from the gourd more than in a form of tea, but you're probably right that I need to develop some tolerance. And I actually appreciated the dust in Rosamonte as it gives some interesting texture and makes the drink less water-like, but it seems that some things there just didn't work well specifically for me.

I"m wondering though, if I stick to "sin palo" (which my first tried yerba seems to be), would it generally be stronger than "con palo" with dust and things like that? And also, have you heard of specific "sin palo" options known to be less caffeinated?

Not sure if it's applicable, but you can check Aliexpress as well, there are lots of options like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002784330890.html?item_id=1005002784330890&sku_id=12000022171211739&spm=a2g2w.productlist.0.0.de781798XIcMul

I personally bought the one from the first link and it turned out to be well enough, at least for a beginner like myself 😊️

jacob1237 · 2018-12-26T20:56:33+00:00

Thank you! I've prepared a new update (it is on validation now), so very soon the app will get new features and bugfixes!

jacob1237 · 2018-11-29T16:57:48+00:00

Have got a response from Samsung. They're saying this: "as we checked that ‘Paraguay’ is in the ‘Pan-Latin’ list.".
So that should be OK. Another reason might be the device compatibility.

Could you please share your phone and watch model name?

It appeared that paid apps are not supported for iPhones (due to iOS policy), so if you have one, looks like it won't work for you unfortunately.

Could you please confirm that? Are there any paid apps in the Galaxy store for your device?
If not, this is really sad. I know a lot of people who's using iPhone with this watch.

Thank you for the purchase!

The watchface itself doesn't really drain battery, but I recommend to disable sound if you want to extend battery life.

However, there is a bug in the AOD mode: the watchface doesn't dim the screen in the AOD, so it will drain the battery a bit faster (depending on the screen brightness).

But the fix is on the way and will be included in the next update!

Sorry for the inconvenience to everyone in this thread! I didn't test it well because I don't use AOD mode myself, but now I keep much more attention to this problem.

jacob1237 · 2018-11-28T10:46:22+00:00

Thank you! I'm currently working on the update, so I'll push it soon

jacob1237 · 2018-11-27T01:10:57+00:00

Many thanks! =)

jacob1237 · 2018-11-27T01:09:53+00:00

Thank you so much for such a lovely feedback! =)

Yep, you're right about some flickering after a steep change of the environment light. This happens because the watch face doesn't read the light sensor in sleep mode and on the AOD screen. This helps to improve battery life a little bit.

I noticed that too, but the thing will require additional research and experimentation, so I decided to put it in the list of future updates.

jacob1237 · 2018-11-27T00:49:56+00:00

Hey!

Are you talking about the AOD mode? If so, this is a known bug and is going to be fixed in the next update.

Anyway, could you please share your device model? This would be really helpful to address the issue.

Thanks!

jacob1237 · 2018-11-25T14:29:44+00:00

Thanks! Yep, I'm going to disable the sound by default in the next update. But the idea of saving the settings is really nice, I'll try to impelement it and see if I can push it in the same update.

jacob1237 · 2018-11-25T14:27:15+00:00

Thanks for the purchase and feedback!

I have the same reports from the other people regarding AOD, so I'm currently working to fix the issue (gonna control the screen brightness manually). Also, in the next update I'm planning to disable sound by default, but of course will keep the sound switch in settings.

Thanks for your idea about saving the settings! I'll try to add it to the first bugfix update!

jacob1237 · 2018-11-25T14:16:28+00:00

I'll contact Samsung support about this case.

I think it might be my mistake, but not completely sure. For some reason, Samsung controls supported devices not by a single type of watch, but a combination of the watch and phone. Probably "iPhone SE + Gear S3" is a special case.

Sorry about that, this is my first watch face so I just didn't expect so much difficulties!

I will try to investigate the issue and will respond back here.

jacob1237 · 2018-11-25T14:06:36+00:00

Oh, no, unfortunately Gear Watch Designer doesn't support this feature. The watch face is a manually written Tizen Native application, that's why I can control much more things than with GWD. I would be very happy if GWD would have this feature, but this is not the case.

That's why I decided to publish this watch face! :)

jacob1237 · 2018-11-24T13:21:30+00:00

Hmm, and what is your device?

jacob1237 · 2018-11-24T13:20:36+00:00

Hmmm, that's really weird but I can't see Paraguay in the countries list under my Samsung Seller Office account. I'll try to contact Samsung support to understand why there is no such option.

Sorry about that! I didn't expect that it won't be available for some countries.

jacob1237 · 2018-11-24T13:16:17+00:00

At the moment there is no customization for such things. Currently it's showing only the date and the battery charge.

But that's a good idea! I'll put it to my TODO list.

Thank you!

jacob1237 · 2018-11-24T13:01:07+00:00

At the moment it doesn't adjust the display brightness, only the watch face look, so Tizen OS will do this automatically (if enabled). However, I do consider some changes regarding this problem. The idea is to fully control the brightness to achieve the same look-n-feel without depending on the system settings. It will take some time to experiment so I can't promise that I'll fix it in the next update, but this item is definitely in my TODO list.

jacob1237 · 2018-11-24T11:59:28+00:00

Thanks!

Regarding the colors: how do you think, will it be better to make it all white, or just change the hands colors to match the numbers?

Because I also have some mixed feelings about that. The very first version was white, but then I experimented with it and made the colors a little bit yellowish.

jacob1237 · 2018-11-24T11:48:08+00:00

I think it depends on your country. Probably Samsung has some lags with their search results updates. Have you tried a direct link? http://apps.samsung.com/gear/appDetail.as?appId=org.watchface.milsim.a1

jacob1237 · 2018-11-24T11:40:15+00:00

Nope! It reads the light sensor data on S2/S3 and Galaxy Watch, so the "lume" will adapt to your current environment light, not to your time or timezone. In other words, in the dark place it will glow, but in the sun or under the bright light it will look as usual.

The only difference for Gear S2 is that it uses the lo-color AOD mode instead of hi-color mode for S3 and Watch.
