You loose waterproofing, and Moto 360 has a TI chip which makes it difficult to port Asteroid OS to it.
- oelmekki 8y agoThanks for mentioning it, I don't care about waterproofing but I intended to attempt a port (I get a librem5 as soon as they're out so my android wear will be basically useless by then), so the chip thing may be a problem. Do you know if anyone documented a previous attempt somewhere? Or do you have any other knowledge that makes you say this will be a problem?
- konraditurbe 8y agohttps://asteroidos.org/wiki/porting-guide/ https://asteroidos.org/wiki/porting-guide/ You can try, the sony sw3 has a bcom chip and has still some bugs.
- oelmekki 8y agoYes, that's what I read before deciding to try it :) But my question was more about what you were saying about the TI chip, what makes you say it will be a problem? (eg different architecture, known limitations, etc)
- konraditurbe 8y agoWell, since it uses Libhybris for interfacing with Android it should not be a problem to port it, but, the advantage of the snapdragon chips is that most watches use the same chip so the code was reusable (eg: g watch > g watch r), so you might encounter some issues that are not present on the existing ported watches. Fortunately the source code for the kernel on the omap3 is available for download: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP3_GIT_Linux_Kernel http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP3_GIT_Linux_Kern...
- oelmekki 8y agoAwesome, thanks for the info!
- gcb0 8y agothanks to google/motorola build quality (which was during the phase moto360 and motoX came out) the back of both those devices are 100% guaranteed to be cracked already and any waterproofing claims gone. but you are rigth on the TI chip. not even wearOS was updated past the release version there.
