We need to edit the 'ROM' file to change the watch face on DZ09. For this, we need to download a tool called MTK Resource Editor (Download) and some cool DZ09 Watch faces (Download).
Extract both MTK resource Edit and watch faces packages and copy them inside the folder with firmware files.
Run MTK Resource Edit tool on your PC and click on 'Open' at the bottom-left corner and browse to the firmware files location. And under 'Files of type' choose 'All files (*.*)' and select 'ROM' file.
Now 'ROM' File should be loaded on MTK Resource Editor. Click on 'Pictures' from the tabs at the top and browse through all the pictures until you find the Watch face which is currently installed on your watch or the one you want to replace it with your custom watch face.
Now choose the watch face from the right 'WorkDir' section which you want to install on your watch and hit 'Import' button at the top. The existing Clock face will be replaced with the one you have chosen from the WorkDir.
Click on 'Save' and save it as 'ROM' file after selecting 'All files (*.*)' under 'Save as type'. Before saving you might need to back up your old ROM file, just in case if anything goes wrong. We recommend you to make a copy of your all the firmware files before making any changes.
Now flash the modified firmware files to your DZ09 Watch by following the instructions listed here and you should see the new Watch Face on DZ09.
