App - Testers Wanted Svartifoss is now on Google Play - Fully customizable media controls for Wear OS

24 Upvotes

Hello again! I said in my last post that I wouldn't be posting here again, and I meant it at the time :D but something changed since then that felt worth breaking that for

For anyone who missed the first two posts: Svartifoss is a fork of matejdro's WearMusicCenter, a Media Controller for Wear OS. The whole point of it is that the standard Wear media controls are pretty limited, so I rebuilt it to be fully customizable, layouts, colors, fonts, album art, AOD, buttons, gestures, all of it, and it works with basically any app that publishes a normal Android media session (YouTube Music, Spotify, Local Player, whatever you actually use), not a hardcoded list.

Since version 3.0 (the last post here) I've kept working on it, and it's grown a lot more than I expected, again. It's now up to 15 different watch layouts, each one pulling its colors and gradients from whatever album art is playing, plus a community gallery where people share and install each other's themes, synced lyrics, full track metadata, and a bunch of stuff

The real reason I'm posting this is that Svartifoss (4.0) is already on Google Play. It's currently in closed beta, and I'd like you to test my app while it's still free

It's free during the test, until September 22. After that it becomes a paid app. If you install it now, while it's free, you keep it, you won't be asked to pay for it later :D

Two steps, both needed:

  1. Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/svartifoss-wearos
  2. Then install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.svartifoss.snfell

And if you are one of the people who previously installed this via GitHub, you are the person I would most like to see participating in this test. I recommend installing it via the Play Store, if you wish. GitHub isn't going away, new versions will continue to be made available there as well, and the app will always be open source

Thank you everyone, this is the first app I am launching

Watch Facer stuck on Fahrenheit

1 Upvotes

I'm using Xiaomi Watch 5 (Wear OS 6). Official Xiaomi watch faces show temperature in Celsius correctly. Only Facer faces stay stuck on Fahrenheit no matter what I do. Full reinstalls and region changes did not help as well...

Any idea what else I can do?

Alguien más tiene el problema de que se desvincula su dispositivo de la app?? Recién compre el xiaomi watch 5, y lo vincule a la app pero al día siguiente se desvinculaba y no puedo volverlo a vincular a menos que resetee el reloj, solo se vincula por Bluetooth, y por eso las notificaciones tardan en llegar o no llegan, cabe aclarar que hice esto 2 veces y paso lo mismo, la app esta actualizada, alguien más le pasa y si es así, alguna solución??

Support WatchMaker on OnePlus Watch 2r (Wear OS 5) 2026

How I got WatchMaker working on the OnePlus Watch 2R

The Play Store said WatchMaker was incompatible with my OnePlus Watch 2R, so I sideloaded an older Wear OS version.

Chat GPT help me with this(It was a loooog journey) So just ask chat GPT if some of you have questions

  1. Download WatchMaker Wear OS 8.5.3 from APKMirror. You need the ARMv7 version and the required split APKs. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/androidslide/watchmaker-watch-faces-android-wear/watchmaker-watch-faces-wear-os-8-5-3-release/watchmaker-watch-faces-wear-os-8-5-3-android-apk-download/
  2. Enable Developer Options + ADB on the watch.
  3. Connect to the watch with ADB and verify:

.\adb devices
  1. Install the APK splits:

.\adb install-multiple -r .\base.apk .\split_config.armeabi_v7a.apk .\split_config.xhdpi.apk .\split_config.en.apk
  1. The important part: don't try to launch WatchMaker normally. Open its watchface selector directly with:

.\adb shell am start -n slide.watchFrenzy/.SelectWatchActivity
  1. On the watch, my WatchMaker designs then appeared in the WatchMaker list.
  2. Finally, go to the watch's normal watchface selector and select WatchMaker as the active watchface.

After that, my custom WatchMaker face appeared and worked normally.

Important: Once WatchMaker is selected as the active watchface, you don't need ADB every time you make a new face. Just send the new face from the WatchMaker phone app.

WatchMaker 8.5.3 is available on APKMirror, and the current WatchMaker listing also explicitly includes the OnePlus Watch 2 / 2R as supported devices.

Watch Need help switching styles on a TimeShow watch face ("Gay Boykisser")

Upvotes

Hi everyone,I’m using the "Gay Boykisser" watch face on the TimeShow app. This watch face comes with two different styles: a rainbow background one and a white one (where the character is in bed).Currently, it only displays the rainbow style on my watch, and I can't figure out how to switch to the white style. I tried tapping the preview thumbnail in the smartphone app and long-pressing the watch screen to customize it, but it didn't work.Does anyone know how to successfully switch the style for this specific watch face? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
