Hi all,
It's time for the rubber to hit the road. I'm excited to announce that the new beta of the 920XT has Connect IQ support for watch faces and data fields. If you have a FR920, you can get the beta image at:

Follow the instructions here to download and install the firmware image.
HOW TO BUILD FOR RUNNING ON A DEVICE
Differences in resolutions, color depth, and layouts are handled by the resource compiler. You need to communicate the device you are building for to the resource compiler to put the file on the device. For now you can do this on the command line with the following syntax.
monkeyc -o <PRG file> -m manifest.xml -z resources\resources.xml -d fr920xt source\*.mc
The "-d fr920xt" option will tell the resource compiler the device you are building for.
HOW TO INSTALL A WATCH FACE
1. Build a Connect IQ watch face for the 920
2. Rename the PRG file (built with instructions above) to CLOCK.PRG
3. Put the device into mass storage and put the CLOCK.PRG file into \GARMIN\APPS\
4. When you remove the device from mass storage it will run your watch face
HOW TO INSTALL A DATA FIELD
1. Build a Connect IQ data field for the 920
2. Put the device into mass storage and put the PRG file (built with instructions above) into \GARMIN\APPS\ (no renaming necessary)
3. When you use the device, you should be able to find the data field when you edit your activity profile. They will appear under the Connect IQ category
For you 920/Connect IQ developers - try it out! Feedback is welcome.
