Smart Watches
There are several threads about Linux AsteroidOS watches on XDA developers. Not all of them are clearly labeled with the exact model types. Especially the names of the LG watches are confusing.



I have put a list of the threads I found about Linux AsteroidOS on my blog about Linux AsteroidOS watches:

    Asteroid OS​

    Introduction and Warning:
    Asteroid OS is a Free Open Source alternative operating system for smartwatches. It utilizes libhybris to ensure maximum compatibility with the watch. The OS team is currently looking for active contributors to make it grow (more info at the project's webpage: https://asteroidos.org/). The OS is NOT based on Android wear and is currently in an Alpha Phase, has limited functions, applications and customizability so flash at your own risk. The current build is mostly meant for developers rather than end-users, so these images in no way reflect the finished Asteroid OS. I take no responsibility for what happens by the use of this software. By using the method bellow you don't flash Asteroid but rather run it side by side with Android wear. Essentially you place the OS file inside the watch and fastboot into it. This way Android Wear stays installed and you can test Asteroid. Asteroid at its current phase is not meant as a daily OS as it has bugs and issues.

    Photos and Videos can be found in the project's twitter account (mentioned bellow).

    Downloads:
    Official prebuilt Asteroid OS image: https://release.asteroidos.org/nightlies/lenok/

    Instructions:
    1. Make sure you have an ADB installation (Minimal adb and fastboot should do) and your watches' bootloader is unlocked and debugging is enabled from the settings.
    2. Download the two files in the download section and place them in the same folder and connect the watch to the computer
    3. Open up the shell or command prompt (cmd) and navigate to that folder
    4. Issue these commands:
    Code: 
    adb push -p asteroid-image-lenok.ext4 /sdcard/asteroidos.ext4
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot zImage-dtb-lenok.fastboot
    5. The watch will reboot into Asteroid OS. Every time you want to boot into asteroid you have to issue the last two commands or else you will boot into android wear normally.

    Removal Instructions:
    Just open up shell or command prompt (cmd), connect the watch to the computer and issue this command:
    Code: 
    adb shell rm /sdcard/asteroidos.ext4

    Known issues:

    Ah damn, the nightly build is old and it misses a required fix. You could try to build it yourself, I can't share mine at the moment because I'm outside.

    I just built a new image:

    Is there a way to make it default OS? Is there any IMG files to flash without having to have AW on the watch?
    My watch isnt working with AW at the moment because of 'battery problems'. But stays on for days on fastboot or recovery.

    Yes, I'm using it this way too. Type:
    Code: 
    adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash userdata asteroid-image-lenok.ext2
fastboot flash boot zImage-dtb-lenok.fastboot

    But I can't do anything when started. I can only use the touch screen for waking up the watch, when I want to use it nothing happens.

    That's a known issue, restart lipstick by typing:
    Code: 
    adb shell systemctl restart user@1000

    Is there a way to activate ADB even if the touch isnt working?
    Device isnt listed under "ADB Devices" in CMD so its not possible to execute it :confused:

    adb is enabled by default, but due to a regression, MTP was enabled instead of ADB. This has been reverted, please try with this new build.
