simple way to create watchface

T
Is there an easy way to create a watch face for a Wear OS watch?

I have a Fossil Gen 5 and have not been able to find an Analod/Digital watchface that I like.

I have no problem creating one in Android Studio but do not have a lot of experience with that coding environment.

I also tried a few of the face creator/editor apps and not one worked properly or the developer charged more than I could afford.

Recently I tried Facer but it has issues syncing with my watch and does not have the ability to add a unread notification indicator to a watchface

Any help is greatly appreciated

root device i11 pro

ocnbrze
well not sure why you would want to root a phone that has 0 support from developers. to me having a developer community supporting a phone is key. developers are the ones who find ways to root the phone. they make custom recoveries and custom roms....those are all what makes rooting a phone fun. no support means no fun.

having a custom recovery is the key. they are device specific and are essential to rooting phones. once a phone is rooted you can make nandroid backups with a custom recovery. nandroid backups are complete backups of your phone. they are kind of like a save point in a video game. if you mess up, you can always restore back to a previous point. this will be essential especially if the reason you want to root your phone is to delete bloatware or mess around with the os. if you do not know what you are doing, you can easily hard brick it. and without a custom recovery, there will be no way of restoring it.

always do you research first over at the xda website. especially if you know the next phone you get, you want to root it.

Samsung Galaxy s6 - disable SPen's Air Command popup

PK_
Hi, is there any way to completely disable annoying and useless Air Commands popup which appears after spen's button is clicked?

Im using Samsung Notes app, and have some commands set for spen button click, but when I click the button it triggers the Air Commands popup instead. Same happens if I accidentally click the button while writing. So, the only workaround I found was to move the pen few inches from the tablet and only then clicking the pen's button triggers the application command set in Samsung Notes configuration.

Just to be clear - I don't need to disable the pen's button for the specific application, I know how to do it. What I need is to disable the system level Air Commands popup.

Hello everyone. I am going to make a notes app and I want to add to note images ,videos. But I do not know what better to choose for that, RecyclerView or just create one editText field, add Scrollview and use SpannableStringBuilder. I tried two ways and in both ways I had problems. Now I made notes app by SpannableStringBuilder and in my note I can add only text and image. I keep notes in SQLite. Every thing works good but I have a one problem. I do not know how to add one more element to my note , for exemple video. If somebody has done it before please help me. I need to know with what better way to do it.
Thank you

Help Google Chrome Sync Reset - All browser data lost from the device

G
Hello,

I'm having trouble with synchronization in Google Chrome. I haven't used this option for a long time, but now because of switching to a new phone I decided to use it. I turned on the synchronization of all chrome data on the old phone and the bookmarks went a bit crazy - some of them doubled, the folders got mixed up and some bookmarks which was deleted long time ago were restored - but ok, I didn't lose anything from the current data. After starting the new phone and updating the software, I also turned on chrome data synchronization and all the tabs loaded in the same form as on the old phone after synchronization, but there was no history, passwords etc. I thought there was something wrong with the synchronization, because it was still writing something that synchronization was not working and also I forgot my sync password. To restore the password and solve the problem, I decided to do the only option to restore the password - reset the synchronization, having in mind that I have this data on two phones, and Google clearly indicated that the data on the devices will not be deleted. Meanwhile, after sync reset I immediately lost all the bookmarks on both phones and all other chrome data on the old phone. How can I recover this data now? The old phone is Huawei P8 Lite (Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0.3), and the new is Huawei P Smart 2019 (Android 10, EMUI 10.0.0).

I will be very grateful for any help,
Best wishes
