Hello there, I recently bought the QW09 smartwatch and I was wondering how I could add some watch faces to it. I've tried creating a folder "ClockSkin "on the root of the internal storage and pasting there some folders with skins found on https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/clockskin-extracted-1-d5-firmware-t3295297 and I just can't see them when I go to select a different watch face. Has anyone managed to successfully add some watch faces to this smartwatch? If so, if you could explain it to me that would be awesome. Thanks

1.name your clockskin folder -->
ClockSkin45_45(number 45 watch face , Do not include brackets)
ClockSkin46_46
.
.
.
2.put your clockskin folder in system>clockskin
3. now , you can change your watch face....
ps:
Not every downloaded clockskin can be used on qw09
some clockskin need to be fixd
usually , the file need to be fixed is "clock_skin.xml"
but you shoud check other XML files...
Team, where I can find system>clockskin folder?
I've been searching a lot but I haven't found any path to this folder.
Can you please advise?

okay, so i have a Dz09 smartwatch with mt6261 chip 4MB/32MB variant, the roms of these watches don't support the standard way of changing your watchfaces with mtk resource editor and i searched XDA for any way to do this, my search came up empty! so i looked on the internet, there is a java application that i have found on surfing a russian website, this application works really well in changing the watchfaces but i couldn't find any instructions to use it either, so i used some trial and error method and found the steps !
The website is (https: w3bsit3-dns.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=670733) they have a lot of information on this page, but for your ease of use i will lay down the steps in this post for editing your watchface without MTK resource editor!
firstly you can find the java application here : romdz09_b.jar (https://nofile.io/f/yNZmOQfzPKS/romdz09_b.jar)
Warning :fingers-crossed: : please take a backup/ readback of your own firmware before doing anything else, this backup will save you in case of any trouble!
Steps to follow:
preparation
1. create a readback file using the flash tool
2. use readback extractor to extract the rom files
you should get following files
config_mtk.cfg , EXT_BOOTLOADER, FILE_01_mtk, FILE_02_mtk, INT_BOOTLOADER
Extract original file
3. now you must open the "romdz09_b.jar" java application (you will need Java Runtime Environment installed)
4. you will see this box https://imgur.com/ukeFZhQ
5.click on new and navigate to the FILE_01_mtk from your rom (this is the file we need for watchfaces )
6.click load ,then click extract and then finally click get pictures in this exact order , this will open the second window
like this https://imgur.com/QRedJio
7. click on a *.b file in the first list and let the progress bar complete! (if you dont let it complete the application crashes !)
8.use the down arrow button to go to next file or click the next *.b file to see it , some files display as garbage while others display their image!
9.scroll down till you don't find your watchface , for my firmware the first watchface has the file name "9D840.b"
10. now suppose you want to replace it, then when the watchface file is selected on top left , click on "extract" button
(this will create a .gif file on your pc to edit and make into new watchface )
note the exact name of the extracted file in the bottom right corner of he window in yellow. in my case it is "9D840b_0Ct.gif"
11. after extracting the file,close both the windows of the java application,
(you must exit the application to be able to edit the watchface file you just extracted !)
Modify the File
12.go to the folder that has the firmware files, you will see a folder called "files" inside this, you will find the extracted watchface
gif file
(you might also see other files in this folder, there is no point in editing those as the application will overwrite any file that you didnt extract!)
13. now see the exact file size of the watchface that you have extracted in file properties , for me it is around 1.733kb or 1733 bytes , your watchface has to match or be smaller than this exact file size, which means your modified watchface has a mere 1.7KB of file size to store your image , but we can still get some cool results !:good:
14. use your image editing program of choice and edit the watchface file and save it.
(reduce the number of colors in the image and use solid colors as much as possible in your image to reduce the file size, photoshop has an excellent "export for web" option to do this and minimize the file size for an acceptable image)
Import the modified File
15.now that you have the file edited, we will add it to our firmware, open "romdz09_b.jar" again and click new to open your rom and click load and get pictures
16. find the file you had extracted and select it, then click on import in top left of the window
17. the application will say "the file is big file=<your file size> place=<size of the place in the firmware> write?" say yes
(be warned that if the file value is larger than the place value it will not import it and overwrite your edited file with the original again !)
after clicking yes it will seem like nothing has happened, dont worry the application just doesnt show the change automatically. after importing we will now save the file in the rom
18. on the top right click on "to file" then on "to rom" then close this window
19. on main application window we will now save the edited rom file , in the top left text box (by default says "ROM") enter the name of the rom file you are replacing for me it is "FILE_01_mtk" then click on save
That's it you have saved your newly made watchface into your firmware and replaced the old one ! you can verify this by loading the rom again in the java application and checking if the new watchface is there or not !if all went well you should see your modified watchface in the rom like this
https://imgur.com/5F3UAzl
Now all you need to do is flash this edited firmware to your watch and you will get the new watchface :highfive:
use the appropriate flash tool version to flash the firmware !
Sadly I could not find the watchfaces anywhere, just the arrows.

Sometimes a few watchfaces are in the 2nd list of a file maybe yours are in the same ? If you could upload your firmware files I could check it out for you.
I don't know where they are, but yeah I'd appreciate it if you could find them for me; https://mega.nz/#!q543SThT!TglSdU54u1kleOwbHdXVCo7q4siA2GJqF184pZT5wMo

i found one watch face and some dials here file name A0B00.b , is this how your watchfaces look? if not could u post a picture?
also try another firmware that your watch supports that may have editable watchface that shows up in the java application
https://imgur.com/a/L24FZ
Nope, that's the clock that displays in the middle of the app menu, not the actual watchaces.
And I've already tried many firmwares and all of them had some sort of issue like inverted colors or upside down screen.

In my case, it is impossible . When I click on this picture again, program automatically overwrites file in old shape. I try many times, I change permission modified file, only to read, but modified file shows in the program, even and I see communicate: the file is big etc. but finally it was blank space in the new rom and I have only 2 watchfaces, not three. This method does not work in my case. I try 20 times, program always rewriten modified picture and change to old. It is hilarious.

the same was happening to me initially, then i realised the file sizes were off. if the file is overwriting its usually because the file size of your new watchface is larger (even a single byte is too much) than the older watchface , it needs to be smaller than that exact watchface ! do check for the file sizes
You are master. You are a right. I set picture smaller, 3,1 kb to original 3.37 kb, in fact it was too big. I change picture and I get picture which has only 1,15 kb. It was good option. Big thanks for your advice.
I have sharingan DZ09.

15.now that you have the file edited, we will add it to our firmware, open "romdz09_b.jar" again and click new to open your rom and click load and get pictures
(open your rom is that mean open FILE_01_mtk again? i try to new open FILE_01_mtk, click load and get picture but i am not find the file that i modified, do i miss something or if possible can you help with picture tutorial, and thank you for your help )

Cannot compress PNG
I followed your steps but using GIMP I cannot compress the png to file size lower than 8 kb which is needed if i import it replaces with original
only way i can somewhat change it by setting the "to negative" which inverts the colour so it looks a bit different
how to compress the png
i wonder how the original file is 4 kb being a PNG file
does not seem to be working
I'm trying hard but I don't think this works with my rom

Hey, I have an original DZ09 with 6260A but the firmware is like the 6261's
So i tried to do your method but i only get one watch face which is in the format of png.
So can you help me ?
every pic i try to change it gets corrupted like this(img attached) https://imgur.com/JF4ToZI
In this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/w37-watch-7-cpu-hs6621.4362181/ users of w37 watch7 have been sharing and installing watchfaces of different square/rectangle shaped devices and they seem to work pretty well.
I think that maybe we can try the same for round screen devices.
The attached watchfaces are downloaded from the mibro watchface store and work perfectly on my Mibro Air. If you have a HS6621 device and want to try them on your device feel free to do it (at your own risk).
The most popular round devices with this chip are HW21 and mibro air, which are very similar devices. I'd be very grateful if a HW21 user could attach their .bin watchfaces from the Wearfit Pro store.

great let's go after these smartwatch, I'll try to explain how to export the new files, if you don't understand you can ask again.
1 - Download any smartface from Wearfit Pro app.
2 - Connect the Smartphone to the Computer or access the root folders via an explorer (the purpose here is to enter the Wearfit Pro application folders)
3 - Browse to Android / data / com.wakeup.howear / files / Download / ota - inside this folder contains the downloaded app displays
4 - Now just replace the file and rename it with the same name as the one you downloaded
5 - Right after I return to the Wearfit Pro application and have the same smartface installed that I had downloaded and replaced with the new file - so the application will get confused and install the new file.
*note: do not forget replace and rename with the same name.

it seems that the watchfaces are compatible even between different screen formats.
Here are the results.
