You can only decompile image files and then recompile after doing some work to place those images. To be straight, if you want to translate something or change color you'll need to create a custom face. You won't find a edit option without .hfm file from the author.
Decompile com.huawei.watchface with HuaweiWatchfaceExtractor(drag and drop on the .exe).
You can extract com.huawei.watchface from .hwt files using 7-zip.
See tut from Nuno Bessa on youtube on how to use Huawei Watch Face Maker.
You can create your own .png and attach them in the program using Image Set branch, or straight from the program on that branch. Good luck!
Thks for your answer.

I've attach a screenshot on my end. It's Tong_TimeV2 with translated week day and some other modifications i did. About the pic...
1) After the job is done you hit build to compile
2) The files it generates to later modifications(.hwt is in folder).
If you want to edit something you open .hfm
ok so i have to rebuild all the watchface. or i can ask if the creator can send me the files.
It's difficult to translate.
how do you get .hfm file from hwt, I want to make changes to a facewatch
i think you can't. you have to build the watchface with png alone

Create and rebuild using extracted images. I know it's hard, but results worth if you got time to spare. Is annoying to see watch faces with only one language. If there was a easy way, i'd made more than one.

Would you happen to have the original Tong_TimeV2 hfm file? I love this watchface and I would like to make some modifications, but I am not able to recreate it from extraction. Thx.

I didn't try to modify them yet, but I think u have to modify the right .png and .brn files in the \windows\ folder:
Application launcher:
AL_##.png
AL_##_HL.png
"Quick dialer":
QD_##########.png
Media hub:
MH_####.brn
I don't know what those brn files are
Someone knows how to edit them?
If u want I have zipped all files in the attached zip.
Bye

No solution for the moment !
I've try many solution with for every file, another color to look what really is the file i need change to make effect...
In fact Ihave try to change the color from the file AL_BKGD but if i put some different color, no effect !
I still try to change every file one by one with for each different color so i know the file i need but... nothing yet
I am very interested in theming and I downloaded all the recommended software/programs mentioned in the theming threads...
However I can NOT find the answer to my question---
once I have everything I need to edit/create a theme how do I actually begin?
What I mean is, for example, if you want to edit a .PSD file you would open Photoshop to edit the file....
so which program do I use first to open the theme I plan to edit? and is there a "stock" theme to edit as I like or would I download...say...the Evo stock ROM and edit the files in there?
I think I read I should begin with 7z? is this right?
All I've found so far is alot of technical explanations for someone who has experience...once I find out the basics I'm sure it will all fall into place...
if there IS an easy answer posted can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
*EDIT*
I was double-clicking on framework-res.apk (following instructions) which was why it wasn't working...once I extracted the file using 7zip all the drawable files were there...I had NO IDEA there were THIS many .png images to edit...lord have mercy...this is gonna be FUN.
If u use a program called apk manager u can put an apk in the and decompile the apk. That mean it opens up the resources.arcs and the classes.dex files and also turns the bianry XML files to readable XML. Meaning u can use this to edit XML and smali files to change colors(mostly in xml files) and also rearange things if u know how to edit smali files. The decompiling also show u all the pngs and the .9 PNG files. The .9 PNG files here will already be showing there draw 9 edit so all u really have to do is edit the image leaving the very edges alone and ur done. Then once all ur edits are done u can recompile the apk and push it back to ur phone. U might have to resign the apk or however u want but there is an easy way to get started. The framework apk is a system apk so u might have to select the correct way to decompile it.
Hope this helps.
See other tutorials on how to create flashable zips and how to edit smali files and XML files.
Usually codes in XML files for colors are set in an eight digit code that cool look like this...ff000000(black) or this ffffffff(white). If u good XML color codes u can find many sites that give show u colors and there codes but to help it works like this...ffrrbbgg....meaning ff (amount of transparency) rr (red) bb (blue) gg (green). I might have put colors in wrong order but u get gist I hope.
Just make sure when editing ur PNG images that when u save them u save them as a PNG only also when editing .9 png files(stretchable pngs) that u leave it as a .9png file. When u save it if it asks just save as PNG but the .9 will stay.
Hope this helps a little
Btw the amount if edits through out an entire them (many apks) is rediculous and many people have no clue how time consuming it can be.
If u need further help u can gtalk me and id be happy to walk u through the process. [email protected]
yeah I downloadad all the tools needed but where I got stuck was, once I have the tools, ROM, etc where do I actually begin at?
I was reading the Ultimate Theming Guide by Google (here) but got confused when it said "double-click the framework-res.apk"...it should have said "extract framework-res.apk with 7ZIP"....when I double-clicked I got all the crazy-looking letters that seemed to be encoded...when I extracted with 7ZIP I saw all the drawable images...all 800+ of them...had no idea there were that many...
so all I have to do, as far as small changes, is edit the .png images in the drawable folders, archive it back together and sign it? do I make it a .ZIP or an UPDATE archive?

If u edit their colors u have to run in draw9patch and then recompile them. There is a program called "xultimate-d9pc" that u can use to recompile them. Do a goodle search and Ull find the script. Its easy to use and easy to setup. If u don't ur .9 files will look jacked up
i have that(couldnt get it to work right) i'll try it again. thanks smurf

To get it to work I created a folder call draw 9 compiler. I put the script and the folder called originals in there. Inside the original folder I creates a few folders called drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-ldpi. Then after I edit and draw9patch my images I put each one in the ffolders they belong in and go to xultamate-d9pc and click k on it and it will create a done folder u can go into and and all the images will be fixed in there
I'll try that, thanks for the tip
now the voices are 3d
sweet that looks to work perfect only thing extra i had to do was make original/res/then the other folders you said. thank you smurf

2 most possible place for that :
1- in rc1 as a .rbm file
Rsrc_S8500_Open_Europe_Common\System\Rsrc\Bmp\Black\VoiceCall.rbm
2- in ffs
sorry i couldn't find it
Why do you want to change it???

Hope we find design in rbm !!!
Well, I just found where all the icons are stored. It's HSMenuItem.rbm in the RSRC1 file (folder RSRC/BMP/Black). If we could edit this, we could finally add helpful Java applications with the right (or selfmade!) icons.
Now, we can open and view rbm files in Wave Remaker, but is there also any way to edit them?

Try to find Pics of same Format... maybe you can replace them.
At the moment no new Pics possible...

So, you already tried replacing? I noticed, same resolution, bpp, metod and mode don't necesarily mean same file size - so these files might be compressed. I then took a look at them using a hex editor and saw repeating structures inside which shouldn't be there in a compressed file. Duh...
Is Wave Remakers source code available? Cause, if it is, we could learn how these pictures are read.

Hello! First of all sorry for my english.
So I've just learned how to create my Zooper Widget APK Template. So when i modify and export template everything looks good except that i can't store external resources or create apk zip ready file, its not possible to check that options even if i can save template. If i save template and open it again there aint any fonts or bitmaps, its only simple widget with standard font. I did put 1 number in my eclipse strings.xml file so that everyone can reserve template. Ive also tried to set it on 0 but that only gave me a message that author is not allowed to save template. Anyone have idea what I'm missing here ?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
BUMP!
Never mind , I've figured out.
how?
