Animations for KODA custom analog clock not working

General
1

Can somebody help me with this?

What’s KODA? You are using KLWP, yes? Because KWGT doesn’t support animation

KODA is a pack for KWGT and no i am not using KLWP. Animation means the clock needle that moves is not working on my device

First, make sure to remove KWGT from your device’s battery optimization or similar 3rd party apps. Also, go to KWGT’s app settings >> Advanced options >> Update mode - set this to Fast and see if that makes a difference.

KWGT doesn’t support smooth real-time animations like KLWP, so clock needles usually update only once per second or per minute depending on the formula and refresh settings. If the needle isn’t moving at all, it’s likely tied to the wrong formula or your device’s battery optimization is stopping KWGT from refreshing in the background. Make sure to disable battery optimization for KWGT and check that the needle’s rotation uses the right formula (for example, #Db#*6 for seconds, #Dm#*6 for minutes, and #Dh#*30 for hours). This should get the clock hands working, though they’ll still move in steps rather than smooth animation since that’s a KWGT limitation.

That’s correct—KWGT just isn’t built for smooth real-time animations the way KLWP is, so you’ll only ever see step movements (once per second/minute depending on your setup). If the hands aren’t moving at all, it usually comes down to the wrong formula or Android’s battery optimization killing the refresh in the background. Try disabling battery optimization for KWGT and double-check the formulas:

  • #Db#*6 for seconds
  • #Dm#*6 for minutes
  • #Dh#*30 for hours

Once that’s set up properly, the hands should move reliably. Just keep in mind the stepping behavior is a limitation of KWGT itself, not a bug.
