### FAQ
1. **I have a question or a problem**
Feel free to "Contact developer" or open an issue at "source code".
2. **How to uninstall**
* Select another current watchface in "watchfaces"
* Uninstall watchface from Garmin Connect mobile app
3. **What about adding more functions**
90/92Kb of device memory is used to draw smooth anti-aliased clock design, so I don't think
there is enough room for any new idea. But feel free to [make a PR](https://github.com/tumb1er/ElPrimero/pull/new/master).
### Powersafe mode
There are 3 operating modes for this watchface:
* Active mode (10 seconds after "what's time" gesture)
* Current heart rate is shown
* Second hand is updated in 2Hz
* Background mode
* Second hand is updated in 1Hz
* All data is updated once a minute, differences are re-drawn to screen buffer
* Powersafe mode (activated at specific conditions)
* Second hand is not shown
* Minute hand is drawn once a minute, everything else is drawn to screen buffer
* When hour hand moves (once in 12 minutes), all data is updated, differences are
re-drawn in screen buffer
* Anti-aliased custom-font hour and minute hands are replaced with vector hands
Powersafe mode is activated in a minute after entering background mode, if:
* Do-not-disturb mode is on (usually it is activated in sleep mode)
* Move bar is full (if you are too busy to make some steps, you don't look at watch)
* Heart rate data is missing (watches are not on your hand)
* Heart rate is less than 1.2x of resting heart rate (you are actually sleeping)
### Technical details
#### Generating tiles for hands
```sh
./tiler.py --name hour_sides --tile=24x24 --texture=96x96 elp_hour_sides.png
./tiler.py --name minute_sides --tile=32x32 --texture=160x160 elp_minute_sides.png
./tiler.py --name gauge_sides --tile=32x32 gauge_hand_sides.png
```
#### Prepare production release
1. version in properties.xml and strings.xml
2. update version in manifest.xml
3. build release file
```sh
~/opt/ConnectIQ/bin/monkeyc -e -o out/ElPrimero-1.6.0.iq -p ~/opt/ConnectIQ/bin/projectInfo.xml -r -f monkey.jungle -y ~/.ssh/connect_iq.der
```
