I used this with miband, but then xiaomi went full-google and requires their watches to connect to their network before the first use. I wonder if I can buy a second hand miband and get around that.

The Dam paper mentions compiling C code to assembly first, but not much details is given. I think there is another step not covered in this paper that connects back to the C code. Maybe they saved that for another publication?

You do know that Android devices now receive regular security updates and system component updates beside OS version updates? That said, small storage used to cause all kind of problems in Androids too (in particular Sony Ericsson devices).

Google should stop this whack-a-mole approach and find a better approach. I think a developer reputation system is much better and far cheaper for Google.
