Thanks 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?

- 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!
