As android wear launcher.apk need kitkat. So if we want android wear on our gear.
IMO the easiest way is just compile S2's CM11 on Galaxy gear.
As it use same exynos 421x soc and Gear bootloader isn't lock.
Why nobody just port CM11 to our gear?
Just curious if anyone at all is still working on developing custom roms for the gear? I got it it right before android wear was announced for the sake of null and a camera. If no one is working on getting android wear running, it might be time for me to move on.
+1
wondering the same no more updates from null..
but the gear and all android wear are about the same on developement. gear has stoped and android wear not much to mod.
LG watch Urbane is currently one of the most attractive watches to install Linux AsteroidOS on it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...-asteroidos-linux-distribution-t4171413/page3
in contrast to other smartwatches, all described features, for instance BLE and WIFI, are working on Linux AsteroidOS 1.0:
https://asteroidos.org/install/bass/
This reviewer said, that the LG watch G (same processor as LG Watch Urbane) runs for two days with Linux AsteroidOS1.0.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRGt3Apkwxg
A Linux PinePhone runs as far as I know only two hours with one battery pack. This makes the LG watch with Linux AsteroidOS 1.0 attractive as a Garmin watch alternative with external Bluetooth low energy sensors.
Here is also a thread about AsteroidOS 1.0, very rare to find:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...parrow-asteroidos-dev-preview-t3458031/page14
and here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/g-watch-r/asteroidos-alternative-to-wear-os-t3791741
There is a developer thread about PostmarketOS on the TicWatch Pro:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...evelopment-thread-t4149253/page2#post83652507
but there is as far as I know no PostmarketOS smartwatch distro with working Bluetooth low energy and WIFI.
And does a PostmarkedOS distro running on a smartwatch also have a battery life of two days?
There is a "Telescope" app available which can synchronize data between for instance the LG watch R Linux Asteroid 1.0 smartwatch and the Linux PinePhone:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11756&pid=80199#pid80199
Synchronizing data between a Linux smartwatch and a Linux smartphone is new an interesting.
I haven't tried it personally, but this thread here does not sound good with regard to Asteroid and the LG Urbane: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/watch-urbane/asteroidos-1-0-released-t3791430
Did you already try it yourself? If so, what is your experience?
Also, before I would be tempted to try, I'd like to know what the procedure is to return to stock, and where I could find the stock firmware images.
I haven t tried it myself yet. But why has the LG watch Urbane received three stars as far as installation is concerned, which means that it is one of the best supported devices from AsteroidOS, when it is so bad to install it?
https://asteroidos.org/install/bass/
Was the installation done carefully? I don t know where the stock ROM for the LG watch Urbane is available. But I can recommend the AstroidOS chat:
https://asteroidos.org/contact/
the chat software is very basic, sometimes it takes time until someone respond. You can also check out the AsteroidOS IRC Logs here:
https://log.asteroidos.org/
but the support is at a high level and professional. I already had good discussions, and I’m scared to ask foolish questions there. Maybe you can ask there where to find the stock ROM for the LG watch Urbane (which is a smart question).
Return to stock for G Watch Urbane:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...guide-return-to-stock-g-watch-urbane-t3213603
"All in all you are better of buying a second hand LG G Watch Urbane (bass) or Huawei Watch (sturgeon). These are considered the best supported watches for AsteroidOS"
https://github.com/AsteroidOS/meta-mtk6580-hybris/issues/6
The only confirmed AsteroidOS installation on XDA developers I could find to this date is this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_GJiQYTAIk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/g-watch/rom-asteroid-os-os-source-android-wear-t3238428
LG watch G is only mono core. LG watch Urbane is quad core. Did some manage to install AsteroidOS on LG watch Urbane?
Linux on TicWatch Pro?

flashed the OS following the instruction on the website and device is not un useable just sits on the lg logo screen then goes black then lg logo. I flashed it 4 times with no luck and all the links to the stock files for the watch are expired so i cant send it back to factory either. Im currently trying to work with the asteroid guys to find a resolution

Thanks for sharing. I also own such a device. Unfortunately, I had no time to try it. The Asteroid OS chat is good. But the advantage of XDA developers is, that there is a forum, and it is easier to find user reports which are very helpful. Thank you very much.
I had problems with Garmin watches to access sensor data. With a Linux watch, it would be much more simpler to access sensor data. There are project available which can run under Linux. You can find those on my Github page. There is no code on it, but you can find links to different projects:
https://github.com/PeterGamma
I bought an LG watch R and an LG Urbane to flash Linux Asteroid on it. They are quiet cheap now. I bought them for around 50 USD second hand. There is no instruction for a new watch with Linux Asteroid OS which I could find.
MagneFire from the Asteroid OS IRC chat advised to wait and see for the new Xiaomi Smart watch or new Fossile watch for Linux Asteroid OS. But where remains is the new Xiaomi Smart watch?
see also the Linux phones. I put some information together here:
PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS) – The goal of the Meditation Research Institute Switzerland is to study the effect of practicing meditation on physiological parameters
may the community for Linux watches and Linux phones grow. These make things easier.
For those who are interested in a professional open source sports watch with external BLE sensors as a Garmin watch alternative, I have put the infos together here:
https://petergamma.org/read-out-sensor-data-from-the-adafruit-clue-pyloton/
Maybe it is easier to pair an external BLE sports sensor in Python under Linux with this project:
https://github.com/fg1/BLEHeartRateLogger/issues/14
I won't give up Linux Asteroid OS. I am waiting for a break through. Does the future not look bright for those great watches?
Good day,
Is there a way to install/flash WEAR OS from Google on the Samsung Galaxy Wear 3?
No

Why you buy Tizen device? If you want Android Wear?
B
Maybe your are willing to learn... maybe you port Wear OS.

I could offer SM-R840 and/or SM-R850 Root for BTHA Version.
Not tested yet...

I hate to say it, but WearOS might be on life support. So no Apple or Samsung, obviously...Moto appears pretty much done with smartwatches....Huawei might be banned in the US...So not many people left making good WearOS watches, for starters. And no one with the cutting edge tech of Apple or Samsung, or even Fitbit really.
Fitbit might the only chance to save WearOS. Polar/Garmin have some serious hardware, but they are gaudy and beastly fitness devices. I'd consider springing for TAG, if they had all the bells and whistles of Apple or Samsung. Fossil has some nice watches out there but in terms of features they're always 1-2 generations behind.
After the announcement of Galaxy watch 4 having wear os I wonder if we can flash wear os on the watch 3 or active 2

One of the reasons for having Wear OS in GW3 is the absence of Samsung pay in the Czech Republic. So GW4 will be the first Samsung watch with which it will be possible to pay in the Czech Republic. I have six months of GW3 titanium and I'm quite annoyed that I can't pay with them.
I'm not sure if the GW3 processor is even capable of running WearOS. Probably.
But there are other hardware differences that would make this very difficult if not impossible. The chance of WearOS coming to GW3 in the next year, maybe ever, is extremely remote.
You're better off selling your GW3 and putting the money towards GW4.
Is there any option to trade Galaxy Watch 3 BT for Galaxy Watch 4 classic LTE?

Hello i like to get port wear os to sm R850 does it have full functionality
Since this watch is using the same SoC on the Pixel Watch, is there any chance of getting WearOS?
I got my GW3 about 8 months ago and like it more than ever. I am in Canada and change the Region a few times, and finally settled on XAR. Got BP running and I find it has all the functionality I need. Now with the announcement that GW4 will be running Wear, my fear is that new apps for GW3 will dry up and developers will focus on Wear.
So, I am curious, will Wear be more Tizen than WearOS. Will it be possible to change GW3 firmware to Wear? What about side loading Wear apps.... will that be possible?
Crystal Ball and deep look into future?
No Firmware leaked... no details nor somebody saw Wear running in action...
Maybe it looks like they are trying to hold their WatchFaces...
MAYBE old WatchFaces... maybe few of them can be used... MAYBE.
This is SM-R860 Firmware Development...

I think a GW3 update for the new hybrid OS is a pipe dream. Samsung wants to sell you a new watch - manufacturers almost never bring something like this to old hardware.
And it might [probably] be very difficult to bring the hybrid OS to the GW3 because the new hardware is developed specifically for the hybrid OS.
Is there a petition to upgrade Galaxy Watch 3 to Wear OS?
