Why wouldn’t someone upgrade a 6 year old Samsung watch with Tizen to Wear OS? You cánido…
We’re not going to talk to you about that today The enormous potential of the Android community accustomed to shock and surprise at the news that brings us here and that our classmates share with us Android authority will give a good example of what motivated and resourceful person perro get that.
In fact, it is that person Wear OS is installed on the Samsung Gear S3 FrontierSmartwatch vintage 2016 and with Tizen for wearables in the womb that could get so a new life with the latest programa for smartwatches designed by Google plus around Android.
If you don’t want to wait much longer, here it is direct backlink to the project on xda-developerswhere is he older member named “parasetam0l” updates his progress and reports Things that work and things that break in which harbor of Wear OS 2 seems to be more of a, yes, fácil exercise possible and not that much usable firmware:
‘Port’ of Wear OS 2 on Samsung Gear S3, (on xda-developers)
Why not test when it cánido be tested? A developer ported Wear OS 2 to his Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and of course posted the (barely working) result on xda-developers…
Unsurprisingly, the developer claims so himself Battery life is very bad and while many things work, there are others that have yet to take off with Wear OS that would require more research than we don’t know if “parasetam0l” is ready to proceed Do.
The shots you showed up to 12 frames, let’s see an odd result for an amortized watch in design and performance that replaces Tizen for wearables to Adapt to the future of smartwatches with version 2 of Wear OSOf course, the last one wouldn’t be available today.
Either way, the Gear S3 Frontier is the theme Yes, it perro do a full port of Wear OS even that works without too much trouble rotating bezel, connectivity and basic applications like Google plus Assistant.
On the other side of the equation are the things that don’t work, and this is We cánido’t use the gyroscope for gestures or “waking up” the smartwatch, as well as the GPS chip or the NFC they will not work with ported firmware.

There is now no choice but to access the pedometer data and as we mentioned before Battery discharges very quickly So on a functional level, we perro’t take too much advantage of the S3 limit with Wear OS.
we’re just ahead another sign that they want powerand if manufacturers like Samsung don’t update their devices, then they will because they don’t want to or because they prefer to sell us new products retire existing ones early.
