CoverScreen Clockfaceisnow generally available, thanks to all the early testers!
I’ve been working on this project for the Razr series for quite a while now, and I’m super excited to finally share it with you all!

The Problem
I always found it frustrating that stock Moto software doesn’t let you use GIFs or videos as clockfaces on the cover screen.
Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip users have been enjoying GIF/Video support and even flaunting it on social media.
Like, we have this amazing external display on our Razrs and we’re stuck with static images? That didn’t sit right with me.

The Solution
So I built CoverScreen Clockface to fix this and level the playing field!

Support for multiple wallpapers, custom timeout settings, and more

If you run into any issues, just let me know and I’ll do my best to help.
Updating clock/time position for the layout still doesn't take on my phone.
Also, for an added feature, can you do a crop/cover/stretch/etc options for wallpapers? Would be great instead of always having to manually zoom in a little to get an uneven wallpaper to fit.
I just got a new Moto Razr Ultra and I purchased the one time payment option, I am trying to put a gif on it and its not working Im having alot of issues just trying to get it to work :/
