The current OTA (Over The Air) firmware improve for the Kingwear KW88 smartwatch will certainly create all your currently mounted programmer created check out deals with to disintegrate. You will definitely still see the thumbnails of all of them when you push and keep the check out face display screen and also scroll left behind or even straight, however if you try and also decide on some of them, you are actually welcomed along with the word “System crash!” and the view goes to a dark display.
If that takes place to you, hold down the energy button for a long time to try as well as acquire your view to recuperate back to the authentic check out face.
With the 20170112 firmware upgrade Kingwear has actually altered the technique they utilize for installing custom-made watch experiences, as well as this is actually an inherent shift coming from the initial. You will definitely must switch over gears entirely.
You are going to currently have the ability to put in the click skin layers formerly booked for the FINOW and also No. 1 check outs (all the ones you’ve viewed in the view face assesses here on this channel). To make them work with your KW88, you have to bring in one little add-on per and also everyone from all of them, nonetheless, which is discussed at the end of the video clip. These are actually the actions you must adhere to for each watch face folder you intend to put up:
1. Find the documents designated clock_skin_model. png.
2. Duplicate this.
3. Rename the duplicate to img_clock_preview. png.
Right now set up the file along with EACH of these files in this to the “ClockSkin” folder you make on the KW88 or even FINOW/No.1 smartwatch. Note that on the KW88 that may be along with or without capitol building characters, “ClockSkin” or “clockskin”.
When you perform this you create the clock skin sneak peek capable to show up on the variety panel on your KW88. Touching on the thumbnail will take the watch face up completely viewpoint. This was the missing part of the challenge.
Now, at this beginning it shows up that the thumbnail image is repetitived 3 opportunities for each and every put in check out face. That’s not very huge a concern unless you have tons of skins set up. The moment there is a well-known plan this issue, it is going to be actually uploaded below as well. UPDATE: After I had concerning 30 faces in the check out, the duplicates disappeared as well as I only possessed one set showing.

Geeezzz guys! Now I gotta do another video tomorrow as well? No sleep for the weary….
30 minutes done! Good Video ! need watchfaces for the blitz!
You should still be able to follow the old procedures for the KW88 on your Blitz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRiTAv8STiw
Attention: Not all clock faces work with this method!
They require some adaptation especially the non-digital ones – with small pointers!

SmartWatch Ticks I’m here again, glad to hear the news and watch the new video. The community in awesome. Thank you again Ticks, usefull channel for ALL the community.
Thanks and good morning! While you were sleeping I converted about 50 clock skin folders to play on the KW88 and WOW! They look SOOO AWESOME!!! I was so sad about loosing custom faces on the KW88 and now I can’t wait for the other watch companies to push out the same firmware update. That one tiny thumbnail change made all the difference. I may do another quick video tomorrow (night here for me) so you all can see how magnificent these faces appear on the KW88.
SmartWatch Ticks I’ll be waiting for it, good job!

Which round android watch with android 5.1 1.39 inch screen has the most battery (mah)?
I am so happy I found and subscribed to your channel. These android watches have re kindled the same excitement I felt when the first android phones came out. Thank you.
Anywho. If you remove the original file and keep the duplicate do the number of watch faces change?
You’re welcome! Right now it’s the hottest tech growing since the phones are saturated. Lots of new features yet to come on wearables. Welcome!
thanks
Sorry I cannot find the file named clock_skin_model.png in my KW88
HELP
it’s in the .zip of the all watch faces
Alfonso is right. Each watch face has a bunch of files in a folder. That folder is then zipped to download. When you get the zip file, you unzip it and look inside the folder. It is in there that you will see the click_skin_model.png file.
You’re the best, greetings from Mexico
Hola! That’s all I know…..
hi sir.what about the trick to install new watch faces on zeblaze blitz watch.
hey I just wanted to let you know I just got home and my kw88 watch was here waiting for me so I’m going to try it out and watch a couple of your videos and hopefully install some watch faces other stuff on it the other watch I ordered it still hasn’t came yet but I actually got it really fast it only took not even seven days to get here from China
Great news dj. Please let me know what you find out. I’m going to do some more testing as well.
great video Mr Ticks .. l will need to go through all my KW88/FINOW faces and make the amendments. Nice to see the animation and second hand sweep work on the KW88.
So the Kw88 has no site where you can find old firmware updates so people can flash back to older firmware. It that’s the case the company really does suck and takes away a users option to change back to the firmware that worked. Food for thought for the so called higher sinware developers. Adrian.
Thank u so much, waiting for your next video 🙂
l have a possible solution to the multi face situation. If you install and open Eric’s Standalone installer then you only see a single face, tap on it and it all works…. l did uninstall Eric’s original launcher as l think if you have multiple launchers then they all open the preview face. See what you think Mr Ticks
