try minimal&elegant watch face
I'm very satisfied with Pujie Black. Less flexible than Watch Maker, therefore easier to customize.

Nixon Like Watch Face w Dialer Shortcut
I made a minimal watch face in watchmaker that has a shortcut for phone.
I call it Nixon because I started with the new Nixon face, making some changes.
The colors are soft, and I find this watch face gives me great battery life.
I suggest changing faces once a week though to reduce possible burn in.
Let me know what you think?
Taps:
Center for stop watch, then start, stop, reset, exit.
Weather spot for extended weather read out, and back.
Number 6 links to Tasker, make task in tasker, play next, this works for all players.
Number 10 to contacts, phone Dialer.
Tasker task set up, is task, media control, next.
This watch face works with watchmaker.

Just tested from my phone, click on link, chose to open with watchmaker, and it loads to my watches. Then push to watch. Make sure you update watchmaker version.

I've switched to CM7 recently, and really miss the utility of the Sense clock app.
Would really like something that has clock/alarm/timer/stopwatch in one app.
I've searched for a while and can't find anything.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Well, i can't say i know something that covers all your req's, but I use FlipClock Blue Magic and it is a pretty nice clock. Resembles the sense clock and allows skins and other customizations. It can show your next alarm on the clock (although not set a new alarm). It does allow you to set an application to start when you touch the hours part of the clock. It can also display system information and weather.
No timer/stopwatch though, but if you find a timer/stopwatch app, you can set it to launch that app by touching the hours on the clock.
... Just set the cm clock as the application to launch for the hours and it brings you to a screen where you can set a new alarm, show picture slideshow, access your music, and get back to your home screen. Might be worth a shot
This was written by an XDA dev. Absolutely awesome.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I'm not looking for a widget. I'm fine with Beautiful Widgets/Simi.
<br>
I have it now set up to bring up stock clock when the hour/minutes are touched. I wanted instead to have it launch something else that would include both a clock and a timer/stopwatch.
But I guess if it doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist.
Oh, lol! Sorry I totally misunderstood your question lol. I will keep an eye out now that I re-read lol

Hehe, no worries. Just knowing that someone out there is trying to help makes me all warm and fuzzy.
Thanks for looking out!
What changes would you like for your UI ?
Maybe possible suggestions can be forwarded to the Huawei developers so that they add into the new firmware upgrades. :victory:
Let me start with one : An LG G2 type guest user login option. I got no idea if its possible but ...
Another suggestion would be to get rid of the iphone looking theme with those box icons. I always stayed away from the iphone because of that.
And yes as some other user on this forum asked for, a more detailed notification on the lock screen. :good:
It would be nice if we had possible to switch to vanilla android look
More black.
Settings menu, phone, notification panel,...
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using xda app-developers app
A Motorola droid type wheel menu for the camera. Maybe they could just add the profile switching wheel for the camera too.
google play edition
make google play edition
that would be great!
I manufactured a rumour and posted on facebook:
Okay guys this is what the insider sources tell me on the upcoming Emotion 2.0 upgrade.
- Firstly chucking the old iphone looking theme for a more premium look and finish theme with a default standard brand huawei theme.
- The lock screen would allow the guest login mode.
- The bottom tray app icons would be swipe to scroll type making room for more.
- New Huawei exclusive live widgets and floating apps including a floating sms/email app.
- There is going to be selection of animated pet or figure (also targeting Asian users having a craze for Hello Kitty, Rilakuma, etc) which would be possible to pop open from anywhere and through this pet all notifications, alarms, internet search, floating apps, voice control, camera, connectivity toggles, etc would be possible. The pet can be awakened with a phone shake.
- The smart scroll feature that scrolls according to head movements making reading user friendly.
- Message reading is going to be upgraded with lot of swipe features like the swipe to delete or swipe to send feature.
- Swipe call feature on contacts if you want to directly call from contacts rather than the two step process of entering into the contact.
And many more nice tweaks which i don't remember right now. But from the sound of what he said, something big is coming soon by before last quarter or first quarter next year along with the latest android version.
Support Huawei everyone !!!!!

Why just black ? Why not user customizable along with theme and with less visibility so that wallpapers show behind it like Windows desktop bottom bar ?
I didn't see much use with the app drawer. All the frequent use apps i put on the front for quicker use and so my usage of app drawer was once in a while. Id say they have to come up with something new for placing the not so frequently used apps.
the app is pretty beautiful. first of all, it don't lags as Facer. when i'm trying to see all my watchfaces on FACER, it always lacks and lagging... so the "Beautiful Watches" never does it. love the functionality and interface.
so, now about the CONS:
1. please make a support for seconds hand - I'd like to make it as an analog watch seconds hand, not like an quartz mechanizm steps, you'll see what i mean.
2. please fix the color picker function - it lags and lacking when I'm trying to choose a color, so after that it's just closing the app accidently and all the watch design being deleted.
3. add a save button on all steps, so i mean that, the user could save the watchface on every step, whenever wants, on all steps or whatever.
4. ooh, yeah, by the way also ADD a #HEX code color picker please
that's it for now, cause I'm still testing it, but anyway, it's the best wear app ever i tryed. keep it up!!! great job!!! :good:
Agree - I am also loving the possibilities it offers and switch often between this and Facer. I think the UI is much smoother on this.
I think the color picker could be faster though and show hex codes.
Also I am waiting for some new battery and weather themes, otherwise I am very happy with this app.
One more thing
Couldn't agree more with you guys, wonderful app!!
Additional item that i'm missing is rearranging the watch face layers when editing.
Long pressing an item/layer, only allows deletion of the layer, not rearranging its location.
You can reorder layers - you go into edit mode, then long press again to drag whichever layer you need.
New update to facer doesn't lag when viewing watch faces and now includes sweeping seonds
Yes you are right - the sweeping hands are much better in Facer now.
Looks like Beautiful Watches has changed its name to WatchMaker - I think thats a much better name!
Must finish my watch today!
Can you provide a link to the app?
I like the new name WatchMaker - its a great app.
There are a bunch of weather and battery themes in the new WatchMaker beta, which make life much easier than creating multiple conditional layers.
Only thing I am still pushing the devs of Facer and WatchMaker for is a wifi widget - anyone figured this out yet?
I have had nothing but great things to say about this app!
I have made 6 watch faces in the lalast week! The same amount of time I have havery the Moto 360...lol
fell in love with it!
I even told my supervisor about it after he told me aabout Facer. I showed him what I could do with WatchMaker and he wound up downloading it....lol

Looks like they added it...the Hex feature!
Turning off "always listening mode" and replace the "voice launcher"
I hate the direction Google is going with the mandatory voice input to control the watch (and Google Now, but thats a different story)
I've seen that the watch can be rooted, anyone any succes with:
A. Turning off always listening mode and getting rid of that odd "OK Google" text. I bet that turning off this mode will have good results for battery life
B. Replacing that freaking listening screen with a normal launcher when tapping on the watchface.
after you say "Ok Google" a few times, the text disappears from the watch screen.
You can download wear mini launcher. Jut swipe from the left to view your apps etc.

Ah, great tip about removing "Ok Google". But doesn't it come back after a while?
As for the mini launcher, I know that launcher. Excellent stuff. What i'm looking for though is a method to replace that ridiculous voice launcher. Maybe there's a (root) way to launch mini launcher with a tap on the watchface?

no..ok google doesn't come back once its gone..
as for the tap for mini launcher.. just turn the wrist until watch lights up then swipe to launch mini launcher.. only one gesture, similar to a tap..

All the definable mini launcher gestures interfere in some way with the standard system gestures like for example swiping away a notification
It's just so weird to make voice input so dominant. They are doing the same with Android for cars. My bet is on Apple with these kind of new peripherals.
But let it be.

I had same problem with mini launcher too until I turned off LARGE HANDLE. try that. I also have mine coming from the left side. Not bottom. I found it to work best and I have tons of other apps on my watch.
Hello experts,
Is there a way to leave an App "on top" of the display of SWR50 until it is dismissed/closed?
So that, even if you lock the screen, when you set it on again, you still can see the App without recalling it back.
THX & happy new year (almost)
I'd like to know if this is possible as well. I used Keep to show a shopping list but it was annoying to have to open keep in Wear Launcher every time the screen turned off.
I think that this is possible, but it must be implemented into app (keep is on of best candidate for this).
Because app Wear Mini Launcher works exactly as we want. When is opened, my SW3 is not switched back to watchface and I still see app icons.

Bubble launcher may do what you want. It has a sticky app function.

Thanks: it works, but I must admit that the launcher is a bit too fuzzy for me.
A simple option to have "sticky app" option would be great!
