How is it?
Tempted to give it ago.

I'm tempted to try it out but it seems like I'll lose a lot of the functions that's built in

I also still get 2-day battery life on my watch and asteroid OS says that it'll only be around 7 hours

Jep,Battery Time is to bad

Anyone tested a newer Build ? (if something is even there)

For Asteroid OS, I would choose LG watch R or LG watch Urbane, since they are afforable, around 50 USD on ebay, and the belong to the best supported devices for Linux Asteroid OS:

Has anyone manage permanent install on the Sony SW3? In Linux I do not know where to find the ext2sim package. In Windows it will not show up as a fastboot device.

It seems that there is currently an issue with a permanent install. On Linux I managed to solve it by patching img2simg. You can download the source code here: https://github.com/MagneFire/android-simg2img. Compile that and use the compiled img2simg instead of ext2simg to convert the image to a sparse image.
The issue you describe on Windows seems related to missing drivers you might want to try and install this fastboot driver: https://developer.sony.com/file/download/fastboot-driver/.
See https://github.com/AsteroidOS/asteroid/issues/161 for some more background info.

Sounds very interesting.. What are the advantages/possible downsides of this OS?

The main advantages it isn't Android. Only use base libs and hal from android part.
Its purely based on Linux. Apps are native, or u can write it using QML.
U dont send statiscic if u dont want and u can control it.
U control whole system via swipe gestures (it was there earlier than in Iphone)
Different UI and feels conected with using it.
The main disadvantage for someone can be impossibility to launch android app (rom need to be stable and get permision to access Store, from where u can install aliendalvik - app for launching android apk)

as far as i know, sailfish os could run android apps natively. anyway, good initiative, fingers crossed

We want it

I'll be happy to help porting it blind (can't find mine atm lol, but it is around somewhere) until I either find my phone, or until it gets to hard to do blind. I'll need your help though, can someone who is running lineage 14.1 on their Montana get me a list of partitions and their names? That's an important step to get the boot image going, almost all the other work has already been done by kayesk.
Code:
ls -l /dev/block/platform/*/by-name/
ls -l /dev/block/platform/*/*/by-name/
ls -l /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/
One of those three commands should return a list, which is all I need to get the HAL build going. Oh, yeah, just in case, send me the output of all three commands. I think it should work both via adb and a terminal emulator on the phone, not too sure.
Oh yeah and as a disclaimer this is my first sailfish port, and first xda post in general, so good preconditions!

Is there anyway we can dual boot it. If so I would love to test it out!!

TP LINK TL-WN722N V.1 and MOTO G5

Hey guys! Wanna be really quick and not waste anyone's time:
I have succesfully installed Kali Nethunter on my MOTO G5 (ViperOS 8.1 OFFICIAL) and i have already connected succesfully a TP-LINK WN722N V.1 on it (already tested on Airmon-ng) but, can i use different apps with my new antenna's monitor mode? (For example: zANTI, Csploit, etc).
How can i ask Android to use ONLY, in this case, WLAN1 (TP-LINK WN722N) and not WLAN0 (My phone's chipset). Because this apps (zANTI and Csploit) are not working properly, of course due to this phone's chipset doesn't support monitor mode (although my new antenna does).
Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

I don't think it going to work as it required driver to work and it is compatible with pc. So I don't think so it going to work. If you are able to get the driver for your device then there are possibility of working. But I don't think so did some one has made the driver for your device. I think you should contact a developer or need to find an app which can make it work. There is very less chance of working.

[MAGISK] [Tasker][Release] Motion Sense (Soli/Oslo) Mod

Release of OsloBridge v1.1.2 can be found here https://github.com/jcarletto27/magisk_module_motionsense_mod/releases
The purpose of this is to broadcast intents that Tasker can pick up as events. I plan on sending a PR to TopJohnWu once i hear back on some QA. Please update me here in this thread if you find any bugs! In my own testing I've found that the official apps like Pokemon wave hello and Headed South still function fine.
This module overwrites the built-in Bridge with a modified one that does not check for Googles signature on the requesting app, essentially letting anyone with knowledge of the bridge api to create an app to use MotionSense. My app which I'm calling OsloBridger (Oslo is the internal name for the MotionSense app) creates a foreground service that works even if the screen is off. I've not noticed any serious battery issues, but time will tell.
If you have issues please post here with the following and I'll do my best to help:
Device : (Pixel 4, Pixel 4XL)
Patch Date: (Oct,Nov,etc)
Are you Rooted with Magisk? : (Yes, No)
Other Modules Installed: (Systemless Hosts, edXposed, etc.)
Do you have Tasker installed ? (Yes, No)
Is "Allow External Access" checked in the Tasker Misc Preferences? (Yes, No)
When you start the service in OsloBridger what does it say in the Notification? (Reach, Flick Gestures Active)
Level of Tasker Experience ? (Novice, Experienced)
Also, please provide the task your trying to run. The steps to do that are Go to Tasks -> Long Press the Task you want to execute -> Click Three Dots in top right -> Export -> Description to Clipboard and paste it here
Update Nov 7, 2019 : I've updated the OsloBridger app to now allow the selection of specific tasks from within the app. No more setting up broadcast receivers in Tasker!
Update Nov 12, 2019: Added 2 new service intent filters to allow the starting and stopping of the Service without needing to use the Toggle intent. Updated the defaults to use what I've found works best (surprise! it's the same settings google uses for the builtin actions)
Advanced Users:
The app will still send those same broadcasts if you don't select a task in OsloBridger, so no changes for those setup already. I find this way to be more flexible because you can add multiple conditions to the event in Tasker, but I get that Tasker can have a huge learning curve.

Not sure if this will help, but I have used a magisk module to replace an apk in the product folder. Not sure if it's the same but the directory is /system/product/..….
I noticed in root explorer that the product directory in system is a shortcut to the one in the root directory
Btw, since you already digging around. Anyway to bypass the country restriction. I live so close to Mexico that it turns off every now and then.

It would be awesome if we can use Soli sensor with Tasker.
Actually, I've posted this suggestion on Tasker forum. and he, joaomgcd, also looking forward to it.

Thanks that might be exactly what I was looking for. In my digging I did find a country code in a preference file somewhere. I've also heard that it's restricted based on which service provider. I'll find the file and you can let me know if it works in your country.

Also looked into Motion Sense APK. Restriction is phone number country code based, can be bypassed. Also looks like its developers left setting to disable country checks at all. TO do that, you just need to change android setting 'pixel.oslo.allowed_override' to '1'. This way modified APK not needed.
I can't try this right now but if you want to check, then connect Pixel 4 with developer mode and execute command in adb shell:
Code:
adb shell setprop pixel.oslo.allowed_override 1
or
Code:
adb shell "setprop persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override 1; setprop ctl.restart zygote"
or edit system/build.prop with some app
You need root to do this.

I've modified the Oslo Code [APK found in /product/priv-apps/OsloFeedback/OsloFeedback.apk] and added in some custom code to send intents for Tasker to pick up, but I can't over-write the file because Android 10 locks the /product folder.
I've tweeted at John to ask if Magisk can do this but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd really like to have custom actions for the Motion Sense Gestures.
If you can help I'll be happy to share my Module!

My Active Edge module modifies the SystemUIGoogle.apk to provide custom squeeze actions via Edge Sense Plus.
So yeah, you can build a magisk module to replace the file. You can check on my github how it works: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/active_edge_system_mod/tree/Android10
I also want to inject some custom code, struggling a bit though, because I rely on logcats, because I don't own a pixel.
You hooked into handleContextHubMessageReceipt method in the FlickGestureSensor?

Any news on development? I'm not asking for eta Just curious about the progress as I'm quite disappointed by the actual use of this soli chip... It's useless atm atleast for me

Appreciate the feedback. Just checked with my device and can't replicate the issue. Can anyone else replicate this?
Edit: are you using the November Android update? I never tested for that

Yes I am. Tomorrow I'm going to do a fresh install see exactly what's causing the issue. Only modules I have installed are BusyBox, viper, sq lite, and this.
I turned face unlock off for the time being. Even if it does conflict with this mod it's worth it! Great work

[SOLVED] Ungoogled Lineageos

Hi,
Does someone know or can recommand an ungoogled Os (MicroG, floss app replacing base app, the less google fingerprints as possible) on a lineageos 18 base or very similar exist ?

Hello, you I would recommand you the best alternative (support-wise) : /e/ OS https://e.foundation/
It a very cleverly thought project and advanced, you can buy phones already with the os loaded (for you grandma) and it comes with micro g already in. There is even an account linked to the phone to save contacts and parameters.
It is ungoogled as much it can (clock server, dns server etc).
I would recommand installing it on a Samsung S9 or Fairphone as other phones are not having a support as quick as those (Android Q update and easy installer etc) .

Hi @Gabriel-Roger and thanks for your reply. I already check this option. But unfortunetly /e/ is not avalaible for my device. Moreover it has micro G currently i don't need anything about google or google play service. My whole apps came from Fdroid and don't need it. Finally i choose to use LineageOs on my phone with custom ungoogled settings find here and there.
For pple who are interested to tweak LineageOs i use :

Hello, thank you very much for this link, I was looking for such a tutorial for a long time !
I tried to modify the file /system/etc/gps_debug.conf in order to remove A-GPS google server but I cannot modify this file even though I have magisk installed and a root file explorer that says it has root access.
Have you done such a thing ? How

yes depends of the file manager, one guy on xda recommand me mixplorer, you can find it here on xda. it works pretty well with this file manager.
Did you do the webview change with bromite ? i failed on this busybox not seems to work on lineage 18

Hello, tried with other file explorers but I got the same behavior, those system foldes must still be read only for me. I tried mixplorer but it doesnt work on my phone.
Regarding the webview, I only deactivated the app as I do not use it and it doesnot represents any risk by doing this.
Regarding the Captive portal, i have error that let me think that those commands are not working for LOS18.1.
It's like with the gps.conf, it does not exist. There is a gps_debug.conf file but it is not used.

You right i did the change on the gps debug file i didn't find the gps.conf....
Mixplorer works on mine maybe different rom we use ? on my way its LOs 18.1 by Andy.
For the captive portal i used the second part of the first link i gave you on XDA, works properly for me :
