Hi I am having problems in importing watchfaces on Facer. I have downloaded .zip files (by boostr29) from dropbox, unzipped them and then moved the 3 files (description.json, preview.png, watchface.json) to a new folder within the Facer directory. When I open 'My Watchfaces" in Facer I can see the correct watchface, but then when I try to synch, the skin/layers are missing and only the text is visible with a black background!
I am not sure what I am doing wrong? I have re-installed Facer, deleted the Facer folder, rebooted, but the problem still persists.
......any ideas what the problem could be???
Ps. the standard featured Facer watchfaces work fine
Because you're not even remotely doing it correctly. Layers are images, in the images folder that goes along with the rest of the watch face files. All you do is open Facer, click on the Import button and find the ZIP or FACE file. It'll take care of everything for you. No need to mess with the component files.

I have the same problem. I also extracted the zip file to a subdir in the facer directory. I don't have an import button. How do I find it??

I highlighted the button for you. That'll open your storage on your phone. Locate the ZIP or FACE file and that's it.
I like the Potato clock! That kinda made my day.

Was playing around with my dash recently , after flashing it to the htc's rom and made a couple changes, so I thought I'd share.
I know alot of people dislike the green theme, but I like it, so figured maybe someone else will too.
I'm using an official htc rom.
Here are a few shots of changed icons and bg's and how it looks:

}
As you can see I've edited the xml, I've also compressed some of the fields down so you don't get the scrolling home screen, where everything you need is pretty much contained within one page:
I've also edited the branding brick on top to reflect the regular alphanumeric code (since there is no alphanumeric translation like there is on the tmo rom):
And added on the following backgrounds for misc actions:
To Do: all you have to do is place the files in the same folder structure that appears in the zipped file (using either resco explorer or whatever explorer you use). Then adjust the home screen settings (Settings>Home Screen) accordingly, reboot the phone and you're good. All files are included in the zipped file.
Just always remember to back up your original files.
You made the green look good! Nice work

It seems to use a lot of resources?
It scans storage for all media files pics music ringtones, etc and keeps there location for whatever needs them. So I would say that you do definitely need it. However it does seem like yours is going more than it should. I would recommend backing everything up and doing a full wipe and reinstall everything to see if it works better.

it's getting stuck on some dir trying to scan files. does the OP have some folder on /sdcard/ that has like, an abuse of files, jpegs, mp3? place '.nomedia' file under that dir or structure it into more folders.
Probably a corrupt picture or audio file on your /sdcard.

I don't think so. But maybe a rogue app created a ton of media files? I'd have to check.

maybe; a corrupt file could also be the cause, like previously posted. still, if we cant find the culprit, imo a fresh start would be best, reflashing from fastboot.
saw this elsewhere: there are also widgets that may cause this behaviour, especially ones that sync something.

I've had an issue with my S3 since I first got it. Sometimes I'd update an app and it would disappear from where it was originally put, either in a folder or on one of the screen pages. Last night I had a whole folder disappear without updating anything. On the screen shot, it was located in the upper left corner, the folder was named "entertainment". It's not in any other folder, another page or anything, it's just gone. Has anyone else had this happen? The phone is stock, no ROMs, not anything. I'm running GoLauncher, WidgetLocker and 2x Batter Saver, that's about it.

Just an idea, but I use GO Launcher too, and sometimes when I install/update an app it gets placed at the end of the list in the app drawer...so I always do another sort (alphabetically) to get them back in the right order.
I have created a desktop folder with sub folders from the current version of ES3 file explorer as shown below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The folder works but not as I wanted. I wanted it to work like I had setup on my first gen N7 where when I open a specific file such as a pic, vid, music, or data type.....it would then have the pop up window to select which app to use to open the file. I also was able to make an icon using the android icon of the main folder but now have no options of long pressing any desktop folder icons.
So now when I open up any of the files, they open up in the ES3 app showing the root tree. Did I not create the main "STUFF" folder in the correct spot of the root directory to act like I had it setup in my older N7? I had created that in my old setup from someones tip/help article that was passed around last year.
Or is this all from the newer 4.3 Android OS and just the way it works now?
Thanks for any help. I searched for some time trying to find that old setup guide on creating separate folders in specific locations of the root for saving downloaded files of various types for quick access and organization. I suck at understanding the android file system and how it all works, sorry.

It's grayed out......so no default was set.
If anyone could offer some advice I'd be very grateful!
I used Unicon to apply an icon pack across my device, so my home screen currently looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My lockscreen on the other hand displays the shortcut icons in grey circles:
What I'd like to do is remove those grey circles such that the shortcuts look like the ones on my home screen. I do have G3 Tweaksbox but it doesn't seem to offer a solution to this.
Thanks!
Open "lgkeyguard.apk" in /system/priv-apps/
via apk-decompile / winrar (extract the res/drawable-xxxhdpi folder)
Search the picture corresponding with the background you want to change.
Copy the recompiled apk back after recopying the picture.
Done.

Great, thanks! Unfortunately I've never dealt with decompiling/recompiling apk's before, so I'll have to approach this stuff carefully. I actually can't find lgkeyguard.apk in /system/priv-app/ using Root Browser though - is it possible that is has a different name / location in Lollipop?
/system/priv-app/LGKeyguard.apk
is the exact path for me (KK 4.4.2)
You could do a search for it using your filebrowser if it isn't there in LP.
Replacing pictures in apk files via Winrar is rather save.
I'd suggest that if you haven't tinkered with apk's b4.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
