Hi,
Is facer square watchfaces compatible with the zenwatch?? All the watches are not centered when installed.
Thanks
That's because majority of watchfaces were designed for other watches and not the zenwatch, so the resolution is off. What I did was after loading the downloaded watchface onto facer app I manually adjusted the resolution and sometimes placement of the watchface items.

Is there a set ratio or something or is it just trial and error and every watchface? Never really modified a watch face on facer.

Well the resolution is 320 x 320. So square faces you would just change increase the res to 320 x 320. Most of the square ones that don't fit are usually 280 x 280. You would also need to change other elements for the watch too. Like the hands, other images, etc. For those you would probably need to change the positioning of the element and size.

It's not too bad. Took me less than 5 min for most of them. I do see it could take a while for some of the more elaborate ones.

Hello,
What is the resolution/dimensions of sliding wallpapper? ( similar to default wallpapper that you find on a new Galaxy s) because I want to make custom sliding wallpappers.
And what is the extension/type of the picture? and in which folder I should put it?
And What I should do different if I want to do non-sliding (Fixed) wallpapper.
Thank you.
would also like to know this?

I made a custom one meyself last night and it's a million times better than using the crop tool in Gallery.
For a none slide use launcherpro, it has a setting that stops the wallpaper slide if you want that, its in the preferences/appearance settings.
Thanks for the info, I would rather a non-sliding wallpaper.
Is there no way to make it a different picture for each of the 7 screens?

I thought of making a Live Wallpaper that did this (or just displayed a static image that didn't scroll) and fiddled with the SDK last night. Only problem is I suck at Java. If I could use Visual Basic I could have done it in about 10 minutes.
Maybe someone more competent at Android developing could take this idea and make it a reality.

Thanks everyone, but I tried 960 X 800 and used Gallary to set it like sliding wallpapper but it forced me to chose a part from the picture and I could not chose the whole picture.

I have searched and searched for a solution but my best find was this app:

haven't tried it yet.
i think it will not work with touchwiz, but might work with launcher pro

I found out that my mistake was making the longer dimension vertical while it should be horizontal. So the rotation of the picture for 90 degrees gave me the ability to select the whole picture as sliding wallpaper.
But what if I want to make non-sliding wallpaper that fit to the screen completely, what is the resolution for that?
um isn't it 480 by 800?
Because of the moving of the image when sliding to different homescreens it needs to be slightly wider, hence the 960x800 resolution.
slightly? thats twice the width lol
what file type do you think would be better?

480x800 is the actual resolution of the screen, while the sliding wallpaper is doubling the width so that the wallpaper won't stretch and display the at native resolution when you slide through the home screens.
When you got some image with high resolution (higher than 960x800), selecting that high resolution image and crop to fit by the wallpaper selector, it will corp and resize the image for you on the fly but it doesn't look sharp as those TouchWiz and Launcher Pro wallpaper which is resized and optimized the sharpness on 960x800, I'm going to crop and resize my favorie wallpaper on a desktop imaging tool.

I've made a couple of backgrounds in ps that were 960x800 resolution and then put them on my phone. Whenever I got to change the wallpaper, it has me select the file and then I have to crop the image. I'm aware that I can drag it out to make the crop zone large but it still only selects I would say 3/5 of the image. I've tried several different times over several different images and I cannot make it any larger. I'm using launcher pro if this has anything to do with it. Are you sure the resolution is 960 wide by 800 tall? Other than that, what am I doing wrong?
Would deleting all but 1 home screen make the wallpaper full-size/non-sliding?

It's what I use and is fine for both stock and launcher pro. When I chose the wallpaper the crop rectangle stretched to the wallpaper perfectly.
Hi. I tried 1280 x 1280 whoch I convert using samsung kies and the crop box fits 100 % and the wallpaper is perfect.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to get this shot of the headphones to be shown entirely on the home screen of my Nexus 7 but I can't seem to format it properly. What I did first was shrink the width to 720 (with the height changing proportionally) and then I pasted it into a black background of a 720x1280. I loaded it onto my tablet and I only get the headphone partially. I then took the original image and increased the canvas width and filled in with black. I pretty much get the same cropped portion of the headphone. Can anyone help me in what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Tweaked the image a little as it looked very crooked and "wrong" to my eyes, but I attacked two versions, one that is full width and one that is single screen width. Also I use a free app called "Wallpaper Set Save" to set the wallpaper, as it makes it fit and means you dont have to do that "crop" shenanigans.

Thanks - but those images still didn't quite do what I was hoping for. I'm looking to have the headphones only on the main home screen. I thought adding black bars to the side would take care of that, but didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'll fool around with the app.
Has anyone else noticed how large the icons and notification cards are on the pull down screen? I am on the smallest display size and everything still seems huge.
I have tried using developer options and setting smallest width to 424 (default is 423) but that reduces it too much in my opinion.
Any way around this?
Yes ofc, but to be honest, after 1 week or something, i didn't notice it at all.

I could live with it as 424 but the problem is that the setting is not remembered, it resets upon reboot.
Why 424? Well the default is 423, and even one point more makes a significant difference. There seems to be no middle ground between 423 and 424 settings.
Any way to remember upon reboot? Or does this need root?

it resets, really? huh
mine only resets when i go to dev settings and open the dpi settings, then it resets. otherwise nope, it sticks.
so just to be sure, have u actually tried anything else than 423 and 424? be sure to try other numbers further apart from stock and see how that suits you.

I have mine set to 390 in developer settings. To me it looks just right for this screen size and resolution. It doesn't reset when the phone restarted.
Sorry my bad, in EMUI 9 the settings didn't stay upon reboot, from my experience.

I could not agree more. It looks terrible.
Notifications are huge.
Pull down Quick Launch icons are also huge.
Had to try and make things smaller, but icons on Wallpaper are now too small.
It's a mess
Was there any fix?
I have DPI set to 430, makes a big - but smaller - difference.
And the settings always stick after cache clearing / reboots.
Sometimes when making a custom watchface I get black dials (hands appear and work properly, just the background of the watch comes out black), once i fiddled with resolution pixels to 72,00 and I got rid of that problem, but now happens with a new watchface I'm building and can't figure out what the problem with the image of the dial could be.
Yes it's 454x454 png no compression
pixel res is 72,00 x72,00
any clues?

Face PNG is too heavy (to much KB) and watch can handle it. Add more contrast or reduce colors or compress it more.

ok thanks, I'll try
For the sake of fun I enabled USB debugging and used adb to change the density of the display window from 420 to 320. Looks great on the large display and the amount of info you see compared to the default value might be interesting to some of you.
> adb shell wm density 320
> adb shell wm density reset ( to restore original value)
I used this trick in the past on many of my devices and it's now a habit.
Let me know if it works well for you..
Why not just change minimum width in developer options?
I use a dpi value of 1200...

Do you know how to change the Preview Picture size ? Like in Whatsapp, instagram / fb they are soooo huuge.
In dpi, bigger the no., smaller the things on screen. So you ha e more stuff to see..
Mine is 1200 so everything is Tiny. I actually have to increase the font size to read everything

I tried 1200 DPI in developer settings which was fine for everything except the lock screen when I unfolded the phone while locked. It cut off the numbers on the left and right side of the keypad for entering my pin to unlock it. I use fingerprint recognition 99.9% of the time.

Yes. That is the only issue I have seen so far. I mostly use face unlock or finger as well.
I would like to just increase the font size on the front screen I've already adjusted the minimum width settings from the insider screen but the outside screen fonts are still to small . I've noticed that when you go in the minimum width settings from the front screen the numbers are different then when u go in from the inside screen and if you try and adjust them from the front outer screen they won't stick they just default to there original numbers ?
My sweet spot is 744dp and Font size in the middle.

I meant the minimum width. Like you said this can't be changed for outer screen.
Maybe you can adjust the font size to fit outer screen, then change the minimum width on inner screen until the font size is comfortable.

I don't think theres a good way to increase the Chrome font size on android like there is on windows all you can do is expand it which not very good
