Text Face 935
· v1.0.8
About
A text-based watch fashioned after the original Text Watch by Guandax (see https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/07acd361-3c18-45f4-9b07-78de4c02539b for more details).
As Text Watch has not yet been extended to support the Forerunner® 935 or fēnix® 5/5S/5X watches, this watch face seeks to provide an interim substitute for owners of those watches. Settings are available to configure basic colors, text position (left, right, and centered), and optionally display step count details.
To configure settings, use the Connect App on your phone and go to Menu / Garmin Devices / Your device / Activities & App Management / Watch Faces / Text Face 935
NOTE: This watch face is provided for the Forerunner® 935, 945/LTE, 955/Solar and fēnix® 5/5S/5Xonly. For all other devices, please use the original Text Watch app available from the link above (and a huge thank you to developer Guandax for his kind permission in allowing his original design to be replicated by this app).
FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING CRASHES:
I'm sorry that there are reports of crashes. This has plagued me for a while as I have not been able to replicate the issue on my hardware, so I'm reaching out to those affected by this and ask if they can send me the crash logs from their watch.
To do this, when it happens again, plug your watch in to your computer and then look for the following files:
/GARMIN/APPS/LOGS/CIQ_LOG.TXT
/GARMIN/APPS/LOGS/CIQ_LOG.YAML
/GARMIN/ERR_LOG.txt
These are logs generated whenever an app crashes, or if the device crashes (see the bottom of https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/programmers-guide/how-to-test/ for more info). Hopefully, one or both of these logs will have been generated and contain some helpful stack trace info.
If you could send me the logs (feel free to view the files beforehand to ensure no private info is in there) then that may help me diagnose what is going wrong.
Thank you.

NOTE: Feedback for any text positioning errors would be greatly appreciated, as I don't have all the hardware to test on!
