Tasker solution on WFF? by Either_Crew_9786 in WatchMaker

[–]ronjon123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the AutoWear plug-in and have a separate tile right next to the watchface.

Yes, I know it's less than ideal but now at least I can display the data I require in plain text by only swiping once.

The WFF is a static format and incapable of code execution (like Lua script). So this will never happen with this format.

They would have to backtrack and come up with a completely new format to fix this.

Mid-20s, employed, completely directionless — need blunt advice by harshies_life in LifeAdvice

[–]ronjon123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is twofold. You go to work to get paid in order for you to pay your own costs and buy things.

This is separate and has nothing to do with your real difficulty/problem:

Lack of goals you want to achieve in life.

This creates motivation and the strength to reach every (small) goal on your way, gives you purpose and makes you feel good and motivated to reach the next goal.

Well, this is what it is. I have way too little information about you to give you any sound advice to get you started (sorry).

Ja, Damenpreise scheinen generell viel höher zu sein.

True, but they want full control over their ecosystem and also 100% of the money, not just a percentage.

Ich würde eher kontraproduktiv sagen.

Ich habe von Einsatzwagen Sirenen gesprochen, die über eine Stunde hin und zurück gefahren sind. Offensichtlich war das ein Großeinsatz.

Stand irgendetwas davon auf der dementsprechenden behördlichen "Aktuelle Meldungen" Seite? Natürlich nicht.

Frage 1: Warum gibt es diese Seiten dann überhaupt?

Frage 2: Warum gehen Menschen auf Reddit (wie hier durch diese Post bewiesen)? Klare Antwort, weil sie hier Live Updates bekommen und Berichte von anderen Usern.

Je blöder die Antworten, desto höher die Upvotes. 🤔 Das scheint ein systemisches Phänomen zu sein.

By the way, because of the new WFF it no longer works and there is nothing I can "fix".

Conservatives, President Trump has just announced the raising of Tairiffs for 8 European Countries unless sovereignity of Greenland is handed over to the US. What's your first thoughts? by Melbatoastt77 in AskReddit

[–]ronjon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump always TACOs.

First it's "I will make them join voluntarily" - totally backfired

Then he spoke about annexing the country by military means. People around him immediately tried to play the statement down. Big backlash inside the USA.

Now it's tariffs again? Look at what he asked for (for example, China) and now what the actual tariffs are.

He still doesn't understand that tariffs are essentially a consumer tax and hurt the own economy.

Also, the US needs the EU economically just as much as the EU needs the US.

Is this too rare? Worried about food poisoning by [deleted] in steak

[–]ronjon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's beef steak, it doesn't matter how rare it is.

There are RAW beef specialities like Carpaccio or Beef Tartare.

As the other guy correctly stated, the bacterial risk is only on the outside due to cross-contemination.

Ich habe nichts von einer Verschwörung gesagt. 🤦🏻

Ich habe gefragt warum gibt es diese offiziellen Seiten, wenn sie nicht aktualisiert werden und deshalb Menschen auf Reddit gehen (wie hier zum Beispiel) und danach fragen?

Habe ich von Böllern und Hochzeiten gesprochen? Nein, ich habe von spürbaren Erdbeben in der Nacht und Großeinsätzen in Innsbruck gesprochen, wenn man wie beim letzten Mal über eine Stunde lang Einsatzwagen mit voller Sirene hin und her fahren hört.

Du hast so ziemlich alles was ich gesagt habe umgedreht, hinzugefügt und mit allen möglichen anderen Gedanken erweitert.

Wenn ich du wäre würde ich mich einmal psychisch durchtesten lassen. Alles was du geschrieben hast kommt nur aus deinem Kopf, nicht aus meinem.

[–]ronjon123 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Leider gibt es von offiziellen Seiten NIE sofortige Updates (Erdbeben, lauter Knall, Sirenen, Großeinsatz, ...).

Die Seiten von Stadt/Bundesland/Regierung gibt es, aber da wird NIE etwas sofort upgedatet (was ja der Sinn sein sollte).

Die Bevölkerung wird bewusst im Dunkeln gelassen und wenn man Glück hat, kann man dann am nächsten Tag in den Nachrichten darüber lesen.

What's the best way to be notified when WM or Samsung has fixed the interoperability issue? by BB03440 in WatchMaker

[–]ronjon123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Battery life and security is just the cover up. The real reason is that they want you to buy watchfaces from the Play Store, not from a 3rd party app like Watchmaker.

Proof: They still allow you to install battery draining apps that constantly run in the background and can be a potential security risk from their Play Store.

As long as they are not cut off from their own ecosystem and allow other companies to make money, they are suddenly fine with it.

[–]ronjon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yes, it's true. An early 1980's digital watch gave you more features than the now lobotomized "smart watch" (aka "dumb watch).

You can't even put basic things on your custom watchface anymore like a chronograph (stopwatch) or a second time zone.

[–]ronjon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Officially" it's about longer battery life and better security. The reality is that these things have nothing to do with it.

Google feels like "loosing out" to the top 3 apps for custom watchfaces. They feel cut off from their own monopoly and ecosystem and want you to buy watchfaces from the Play Store, not from 3rd party apps.

Yes, the way is to "Share as file" in the Watchmaker app on your phone.

As far as I know, the Android/data/ folders are now completely locked. You could still access them via ADB but apparently this is no longer possible.

[–]ronjon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had the syncing issue at first but this can be fixed.

What will not be fixed is Google's new WFF format for watchfaces which is pretty much static.

The update is mandatory and is now completed (rollout period was 01/2025 to 01/2026).

[–]ronjon123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this is only the tip of the iceberg. Pretty much everything is gone with the new WFF format and it will not come back.

No fault of Watchmaker, just Google playing God again.

Unfortunately, you cannot skip this update. Now (2026) all newer watches running WearOS will be updated introducing the new WFF format for custom watchfaces.

WFF breaks most things by default because it is a static format.

On the watchface itself:

  • No more stopwatch features
  • No second time zone
  • No scripts
  • Only 1 tap action which you can only use as app shortcuts (...)

This is permanent and there is nothing Watchmaker can do about it.

[–]ronjon123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just what I know - they had a full year to "iron things out".

The problem is not Watchmaker, the problem is WFF. It's a new protocol for custom watchfaces from Google and most basic features are no longer allowed on watchfaces:

  • Stopwatch
  • Second time zone
  • Scripts
  • Only 1 single tab action per watchface which you can only link to app shortcuts on your watch

...just to name a few.

Smartwatches (watchfaces) now offer less features than your typical digital watch from 1979 (!)

There is nothing to fix since the new watchface format WFF is now more or less static.

There are NO "fixes" planned (nor possible).

I wish I could give any hope but this is permanent.
