Instructions. 1. Unlock your bootloader. Installing AsteroidOS requires an unlocked bootloader and entering the bootloader requires ADB in Wear OS. Enable ADB on your watch with the following steps: Open the settings app and go to the System and then About page. Tap the Build number 7 times until Developer options become available.

SONY SMARTWATCH 3

The Sony Smartwatch 3 is the only watch supported by AsteroidOS using a Broadcom SoC. Its support is known for being experimental. It presents various limitations for a daily usage but is enough to get an overall overview of AsteroidOS. Battery life is not satisfying (~7

hours).

FREEDOM & PRIVACY

We believe that when it comes to wearable devices, users should have full control over their machines and data. AsteroidOS has been created from the ground-up with modularity and freedom in mind. For this reason, it is a free and open-source

project.

------------------------- READY FOR YOUR WRIST AsteroidOS unleashes the potential of your watch with up to 48 hours of autonomy and a set of apps including everything you need on a smartwatch: an agenda, an alarm clock, a calculator, a music controller, settings, a stopwatch, a timer and a weather forecast app. ------------------------- PROVEN BUILDING BLOCKS AsteroidOS is built upon a rock-solid base system. Qt and QML are used for fast and easy app development. OpenEmbedded provides a full GNU/Linux distribution and libhybris

allows easy porting

to most Android and Wear OS watches. -------------------------

FRIENDLY-COMMUNITY

Since its creation in 2015, the AsteroidOS project has been open towards external contribution and collaboration. The project is still in active development, if you want to help, make sure to check the Get Involved page. Our vibrant community will welcome you
