How to install and configure NoFrills

Please post any issues, questions and / or suggestions you have here and I will assist as best I can.

  • This is odd. Does it not lag when you uninstall NoFrills?
    If NoFrills causes the lag when you don't even pass through it, then I have to raise it with the ConnectIQ team as the life cycle of a watchface or widget ends when you loop to the next or previous widget.
    Are the other widgets where you experience the lag not perhaps other Connect IQ widgets downloaded from the store?

    Yes, it doesn't lag, even if I use another watchface without uninstalling your watchface, as told before.
    It's very odd, I agree...

    I will try and verify with another vahr user.
    How full is your watch's memory? In other words, how many other apps have you got installed.
    Might be worth checking if it improves if you uninstall all Connect IQ apps and only install NoFrills and check if it makes a difference.
  • I also use only native widgets, except battery widget, but it doesn't seem to affect.
    That's what I have installed:

    Watchfaces
    Pendulum, no frills, big time

    Widgets
    Garmin compass, battery gauge

    Apps
    Hiker, simplecalc

    Data fields
    Helevgrade, lsgrade, chart

    Not so much stuff.
    Thanks for your cooperation.

    Thanks, I will have it confirmed and investigated.

    Update, after switching on my watch I lost all I had installed, common issue with 3.4 FW, first app I installed was Nofrills, no lag, after I installed other apps and widget lagging again.
    Yesterday I installed new 3.5 FW version, no lag anymore!

    Thanks for the update! It is very hard for us to troubleshoot these kind of issues when we do not have the real devices to test the FW with.
    Appreciate your persistence!

  • Heartrate on Fenix 5x

    Loving the simplicity of the design with lovely big numbers for easy vision.
    Thanks for your work.
    Is there an option to modify the time colour itself from blue?
  • Fenix 5x No Frills crash

    Your watch face is just what I was looking for on my new Fenix 5X.

    When installed it runs for a few seconds on watch then the watch displays the blue gamin triangle on screen and nothing else.
    It was happening with FW 2.5 & now 2.9

    I have tried many different attempts at changing settings to see if there is something triggering the issue but no luck.

    Any suggestions?
  • Hi. I'm having a small issue with the watch face on my Fenix3. I don't know when it started happening as I've just switched back to this face after using another for a while..

    When I acknowledge an alarm of dismiss a notification the NoFrills face is replaced by the stock digital face & I have to navigate to an adjacent widget & back again for NoFrills to load again.

    I'm running the latest F3 firmware & using the latest version of the watchface.
