Porting apps from bangle js to bangle js 2?

[wolverine19]

Hello, what is the easiest way to port bangle js watch code to bangle js 2? There are some legacy apps that are no longer being maintained which I would like to use on the bangle js 2.

Generally it should be pretty straightforward. For a lot of apps the biggest issue is just making sure they fit on the screen if positions were hard-coded. Bangle.js 1 is 240x240, 2 is 176x176

Sometimes it's as easy as just using g.getWidth() instead of a hard-coded with of 240px.

Otherwise if they use setWatch on BTN2/3 then that has to change as there is only one button. But I'd suggest you try and swap to using Bangle.setUI for handling input (https://www.espruino.com/Reference#l_Bangle_setUI) as you can do things like use "updown" as a mode, which uses buttons on Bangle.js 1, and dragging the touchscreen on Bangle.js 2.

which apps were you looking at porting? I'm happy provide a bit more help if I know which ones there are
