Hello
I have a gear s3 frontier and a Chinese ilife zedwatch R
Both of them didn't run android wear
Can I install it on them?
I'm wondering the same about installing Android OS wear on a Polar m400?

Long Story: Maybe, Short Story: No, You cannot. It would take a massive porting effort, and that would be assuming that your device's components are even compatible with Android. Now if it's a generic smartwatch running REAL android with a modified system UI, then porting should be infinitely easier, as you may be able to port over Android Wear from another similar device using your device's kernel, ramdisk and parts of the system image as a base. But that's a longshot, sorry.

I'm developing some apps for Firefox OS, but am currently limited to doing so on the Firefox OS Simulator. I'd like to flash Firefox OS onto a real device, but I own none of the supported devices, and of some of them I can't even find a single mention anywhere on the internet with the exception of the wiki.
Now I have this very slow Cherry Mobility Android JB (originally ICS) tablet lying around. Would there be any chance of getting Firefox OS running properly on this device, or is it a lost case? If I remember correctly, it has Linux 3.2 underneath it (the Android ROM which is currently on the tablet, I mean). Would I be able to extract the drivers from the Android ROM and use them with Firefox OS?
if you play around with the manifest xml files, you might have some success. You could have a look at the threads of the nexus (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924367) or samsung ports () to get a better idea of porting. You can also have a look at B2G, might help you out.
Hey guys!!
I am new around here so I apologize for any brake of rules I might be doing around here. You are welcomed to notify my about them
I just got a Geeksphone Peak. On the box it came with Firefox OS, of course. I had it for a few days and then flashed Android in there. I am not sure how, but it looks like Firefox OS is not there anymore, or I can't find it. Any idea how to flash Firefox OS again here so I can have both?
And another question, is there possible to have another version of Android, a lower one? I have Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich but probably the system would run faster in an older version of Android.
Thanks in advance!
As far as I know, it is not officially supported to have dualboot. So you have Androd or Firefox OS. You can download the old images here: downloads.geeksphone.com (sorry I cannot post links because I am new user). But Geekpshone has dropped support of Peak so there is no current built. I am trying really hard to build it but so far no success.
As for the Android - where did you downloaded it? You would have to download old built which is not built anywhere - so you would have to build it yourself.
Hi guys,
in the last few days I had a look at various type of "chinese smartwatches" mounting Android Lollipop 5.1. I'd like to buy one of them for curiosity and for trying to build some apps.
I have a question about the software: as they mount Android Lollipop and not Android wear, is there the possibility that they will be updated, I think to Android 6.0 or something like that? Or better, is there any Android wear custom ROM to flash on them? Thank you for your replies guys
Update info
The update to Android marshmallow would be possible but I do not think any manufacturer decides to do an update, the smartwatch come out with Android lollipop to recycle code and have greater compatibility with older apps.
In future it may be possible to have a custom rom with android wear but will be a long and not compatible with all Chinese devices, when I have not seen a single port on a smartwatch that runs Android 5.1
Recently I have been wondering if it would be possible to have a Lineage-like custom ROM for Android Wear smartwatches. Since it is possible to unlock the bootloader and install custom software on such a smartwatch, why wouldn't it be possible to install a custom-made OS on a device of this kind?
Please excuse me if this question has been answered before.
Came here for the same question, over half a year later...
look for Project open watch

There are a early builds like AsteroidOS and FitWear. I have tested both AsteroidOS is in a very early state of development. check out this page: https://asteroidos.org/. And FitWear supports a few chinese APPs. But this OS isnt't practicable yet for a every day use.
I'm currently running LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7) on the S5 ( SM-G900I ) and want to downgrade (upgrade) to an Android 5 or Android 4-based ROM instead. Any recommendations?
What do you want?
Speed? Lag-free? Battery? Features? Etc...
Specify something so we can give you recommendations.
I just want something stable and reliable in an older Android version (5 or 4.4 x).
Bundled apps don't interest me. Google apps don't interest me. Latest updates don't interest me.
Virtually all apps will come from f-droid.org.
I am not even interested in using the device as a phone, but just an internet device.
I would like a good stable ROM with no frills that has Android 5 or Android 4. ( no Android 6 or later)
If anyone has any recommendations.
