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: http://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, one of them being that the bluetooth doesn't work (so you can't pair it with your phone). I simply made a build of the OS, credit goes to the creator and the contributors, I can only provide you with builds, installation instructions and answers on a few questions, nothing more.

Downloads:
Official prebuilt Asteroid OS image: http://asteroidos.org/install/
Outdated Personal Build of mine (lacks newer build features):
Asteroid Image
Boot Image
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 command prompt (cmd) and navigate to that folder
4. Issue these commands:
adb push asteroid-image-dory.ext2 /sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext2
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot zImage-dtb-dory.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 cmd, connect the watch to the computer and issue this command: adb shell rm "/sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext2"

Downloading!...
Mhh will definitely try it out
screenshots/photo ?
Any screenshots or demo videos? Can't find any on Google or the official project site.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
Screenshots, video etc can be found in the Twitter account ( @ asteroidos).
Images?
According to twitter, don't bother trying these images as it takes over three minutes to boot and there are no apps.
I uploaded a video showing Asteroid booting up for anyone interested.
Why would I destroy my perfectly fine watch with absolutely pointless OS, which does nothing, doesn't allow me to get notifications and has no apps?
Why such negativity over something that is pre-alpha? The OP even said, this is more for developers than for end users.
Once a few iterations are out, say when the BT stack is up, and some apps available I'd be keen on checking it out and dual-booting into it. For now, I'll be keeping a watch on it.
Keep fighting the hard fight @CedArctic!
This is definitely great to see. A fully capable linux OS on the watch. Btw OP, does it use Wayland or Mir for the display server since it's built on QT (going off what I know of Ubuntu Touch which uses QT/Mir)?
I downloaded the image but haven't messed with it just yet, the rootfs is on my watch waiting for me to boot it with fastboot. I'm excited to see how this turns out. Any idea on how it will communicate with the mobile device through Bluetooth yet, or is that still in the planning stages as you work on the UI?

Thanks but it's more of kido's fight. He is the original developer of Asteroid OS. I will continue to provide up to date builds until a stable release is out. It is great to see the community interested in such a project

I believe it uses the Mir server. As far as I know the watch will connect via bluetooth. Though I am not the developer of this operating system, that's kido. So don't really know much . For now I just make builds of it.

Ah thanks for the information. I'm really looking forward to seeing this grow, I love watching alternative operating systems for my devices ^_^
Once it has more work done on it, I could see it becoming a pretty neat project.
Great work bro, keep it up

This isn't a version of Android. It is a Linux based operating system that can run on the G Watch as a (in the future) replacement OS for android. So no, playstore does not work.

tutorial originally posted by bojan6
Please read this before start asking questions
1.Android is in testing development.
2.Is not working fully.
3.You can't install Android in your phone.
4.You can run Android in your phone with Haret and see how it look but:
5.There are no working wifi, bluetooth,phone calls, battery, usb conection, ac charger connection and many other things....
6.All drivers and kernel are still under construction.
7.Now you know that Android is not working fully in our phone.
8.If you still want help and test build that is OK.
Now to run Android properly in your phone !
1.Download any of the builds we have around here.
2.Do backup on your sdcard or if you have additional one use this one.
3.Extract the file with android in your sdcard.
4. Check all the files are inside (sdcard/Android/AndroidApps"folder", media"folder",root"folder",clrcad"file",rootfs"fil e",startup"file",system"file",zImage"file",initrd" file")
5. If you want you can take everything from Android folder and pest it in root of the sdcard but you have to change default text (set cmdline"rel_path=Android change to set cmdline"rel_path=" or set cmdline"rel_path=sdcard") tri with one if is not working try with the other one. I thing the best is leave all files and folder in default Android folder and just copy this folder to your sdcard.
6.Check your zImage and Startup is for Toshidroid :OP (TG01).
7.First RUN haret without CLRCAD.
8.It take no more than10 min to run for the first time.
9. If it take more time RESTART the phone by pressing the POWER BUTTON for 10/20 sec it will restart and back to windows.
11.Try to do the same one more time.
12.If it still not booting to Android and you receive any error messages. Check your sdcard if there is space left in it. Check error message if it say that it can find some file or it can't create a data.
13. Delete everything from your sdcard and format it to fat32.
14.Start from the beginning.
15. If it still not booting to Android then check if you have all files and all set how it has to be.
16. Don't forget you can broke your phone. And we are not responsible for any damage you cause to your phone.
17.It is all up to you.
19. If I forget something sorry about just ask there are other memebers who will try to help you if they can.
20. Sorry for my English mistakes. I'm trying to fix them. :OP
Thanks to all people who try their best to make that possible: Markinus, Arash18k,Bally3,Endrix,Nyl,Arnookie and all other.

The android screen (1.5 cupcake) on Tosh TG01 was taken from intomobile.com
There is no android for HD2 or Acer F1/s200 (and these phones have bigger community) so I don't think someone here will run android on TG01 until it comes for one of these two mentioned above...
you are right..
however I have googled and found these.
http://htcandroid.xland.cz/
http://xdandroid.southcape.org/
I am not into programing but it might give some head start to who want to make it happpen..
I don't know how to go about porting android to TG01, but I'm looking into it... don't know if it will go anywhere but what the hell, it's worth a try.
Source code for the Acer Liquid and the Xperia X10, two Snapdragon phones with both Kernel Source code available

Don't know much about Android. But I think Haret is only a bootloader. You still need the Android files to boot.

Yep Haret kills the WinMo kernel to boot another one, i've got the Xperia X10 and Acer Liquid Kernels source code, so i'm going to build them just to see how far it will go and hopefully create a starting point for Android on TG01
Just to keep you updated, i'm not getting anyware for the moment, but i'm not giving up, if anyone has got any info on building a linux kernel for snapdragon please post it
Google Nexus one, acer liquid and many other devices have Snapdragon and Android.
If it's found some info about linux kernel on them, it would be a good starting point, don't you think?
EDIT: I've just google a little and found this:
NEXUS ONE KERNEL POSTED
Cyanogen has developed a web for developing nexus one kernel. So, maybe, you can find something there.
Here you can find a kernel for Nexus One
And here you can find the kernel source for the Acer Liquid

Yep, i've installed the 10.04, and it's pretty cool, on my dell precision m6500, i had a probleme getting the wifi working but other than that it runs like a charm
Has anyone got any idea on how to find the 'RAMADDR' and 'RAMSIZE' for haret ?
these are for HTC diamond witch has 192 mb ram
set RAMSIZE 0x7800000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
Yeah but it is specific to every phone... so I either somebody already know them, or I need a way to find them..

MultiROM ≥v28 ability is now in the image (starting alpha2). New to MultiROM? Read here.
This is a community port of Jolla's Sailfish OS for the Nexus 5.
It features a gesture-based user interface with a unique design and ease-of-use in mind.
For more information about Sailfish OS please head over to sailfishos.org.
This is not an Android ROM, this is a different base of an operating system called Linux, running glibc library.
It only uses parts of Android for hardware enabling (drivers).
Special Thanks to the Nexus 5 porters situ & vgrade, and their helpers: alin, dmt, tbr, iKozzz, MultiROM author Tassadar, Jolla sailors especially jusa, spiiroin, phdeswer, Hannu Mallat, the HADK team, the Mer Project, the Nemo Project and all the fine people over at #sailfishos-porters
Release Notes:
This release is based on Sailfish OS 1.1.9.28
The Nexus 5 port is considered to be of beta quality.
Though depending on your usage it might be stable enough for daily use.
Download & installation instructions:
https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_hammerhead
HW Support status:
(Look for Nexus 5 row): https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
Bug reports, if internet search refuses to help:
First search XDA for keywords. Things like libsailfishapp have already been worked out by this amazing community
Software-related bugs (Sailfish OS): first search http://together.jolla.com . Tag your questions with "community-build"
Hardware-related problems: at the Nemo Project Bugzilla under Hybris-ing component
Please do not contact Jolla Care or Jolla Developer Care, as this is not the Jolla phone
Known issues:
Android app support is not available (unlike in Jolla phone), but you can already play classic Android games like this. On app side there has been some awesome progress on #sailfishos-porters on irc.freenode.net, status reports being on this XDA Thread
All remaining: In Bugzilla
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.0
Tips:
MultiROM users: if your primary ROM is Lollipop based, just install any Sailfish OS version accompanied with CM11 .zip, and you'll have best of both worlds working! Thanks to @julle131 for finding this!
Changelog:
Moved to Mer Wiki: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_hammerhead#Changelog.

This is really nice, thank you. I do have one question however, since the base is CM 11 M9, would this be compatible with MultiROM?
Edit : Nevermind, downloaded the image and extracted it, it comes with it's own boot image thus answering my question that it does not. Thank you.

You're very welcome, our team is non-the-less excited
Considering your question: Please volunteer to make this work under MultiRom et al. However for now you can always boot to underlying CM by doing "fastboot boot boot.img" or permanently flash it to recovery
very excited to see this coming around the corner!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Sweet. Another new treasure.
Nice job ~
Always, feels good to try something new...
This is another OS like Firefox OS . :silly:
my phone and my printer can run firmware by same group. Fantastic, d/l now
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
not working for me, am I doing something wrong?
what I did:
1. flashed CM11 M9 then Jolla Image(not working stays on Google Logo, almost waited for 10 min and so then I rebooted phone by pressing power button, still dont work)
then i tried this:
extracted boot.img from cm11 m9 and flashed it via fastboot then flashed flashed jolla image from recovery, still no luck for me...:crying:
Any Help would be appreciated...
EDIT: never mind fixed the issue by flashing via twrp seems like phiz touch was having some issue...
So finally a thread was made in Development.
Here's some more images: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53079592&postcount=78
I do hope the thread doesn't get spammed with useless non-contributive posts like "how to flash this", "x doesn't work" or "my phone is brick" like the Sense 6 port.

Its going to look the same. Its mostly going to be fixes.
This is great, thanks for the link and the heads up. Gonna try this out today.
On a side note: I am really tempted to get the Jolla phone, mainly to run my android apps (plus the OS looks great).
wow, i was looking for this a long time ago

If only this could work with multirom. But im glad this is here

During install, or during setting up, there are several roms that ask for su permissions, like roms with lots of features like recents, stuff like that. If you don't give it permission you won't be able to use some features I'm guessing. Grant, always grant

I'm a Jolla user and hope this awesome OS will work fine even in my N5, I've tried the previous build and I'm glad works continue with newer.

CHROME OS ON ANY DEVICE
About Project Croissant (formerly known as Ć̸h̷̢̡r̢͝o̡҉ḿ̴̢̧e̷͜҉f̡͝y͝͞͡͡)
This project is aimed at making Chrome OS (the official releases by google) available for any non-chromebook devices (ATM The device must be able to boot from live USB, this excludes most Android-only devices);
The steps can also be followed on a chromebook, to install an image with android and linux support.
The script uses an official Chrome OS image, while it uses the Kernel and GRUB bootloader from another Chromium OS distribution (EX: ArnoldTheBat builds).
This project has an official GitHub/Wiki page, a Telegram group, a Twitter page and is the result of many ideas and contributions.
Please fill this survey to let us know whether Chromefy works (or doesn't) on your device
Required files
An official Chrome OS recovery image (downloads on the right; RECOMMENDED: eve (best) or pyro are the most complete images [must be from the same chipset vendor (Ex: Intel, ARM or RockChip); If eve/pyro doesn't work, try an image from a device with a similiar chipset as your own]
Another Chrome OS recovery image from a TPM 1.2 device (EX: caroline or kip) or the swtpm.tar file (swtpm TPM2 emulator needs VTPM proxy support in kernel) (this step is only needed if using an image from TPM2 device to fix a login issue, which is most likely the case for newer ones)
An image from a Chromium OS distribution (EX: ArnoldTheBat builds).
The Chromefy installation script.
Installation guide (Partition method)
For method 1 (bootable USB image generation) check this video guide:
Method 2-B (chromium OS root partition conversion) described below:
Other methods described in the official GitHub/Wiki page.
This procedure will install Chrome OS on top of a Chromium OS kernel, you will thus need to install a Chromium OS distribution on your device first;
RECOMMENDED: ArnoldTheBat builds
NOTE: CloudReady builds are not yet supported due to a different partitioning scheme and incompatible kernel
If you consider this guide too generic, try reading a more comprehensive guide
Flash the selected Chromium OS build on a live USB, boot into the live USB and install it on your HDD/SSD by typing the following command on the shell
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/chromeos-install --dst [COLOR=Blue]YOURDRIVE[/COLOR] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue](Ex: /dev/sda)[/COLOR]
now make sure the your chromium HDD/SSD installation is working before proceeding.
Resize the third partition of your sdX drive (EX: sda3 inside sda) from its current size to atleast 4GB; I suggest using Gparted live USB to resize it; you can either downsize sdX1 (data partition) or delete the sdX5 partition (we won't need it) to get more unallocated space.
Boot from your live USB again, make sure you have your Chrome OS images available and run the installation script with the following command
Code:
sudo bash /path/to/chromefy.sh [COLOR="blue"]YOURSYSTEMPARTITION[/COLOR][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"](EX: /dev/sda3)[/COLOR] /path/to/chosenchromeosbuild.bin /path/to/carolinebuild.bin_OR_swtpm.tar
Don't leave live USB yet, make a powerwash (manually) by typing
Code:
sudo mkfs.ext4 [COLOR="Blue"]YOURDATAPARTITION[/COLOR][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"](Ex: /dev/sda1)[/COLOR]
You can now reboot and enjoy your new "chromebook"
Images supporting swtpm TPM2 emulator
ArnoldTheBat's latest special build (v72) now supports VTPM proxy
FydeOS V6 (or newer) now supports VTPM proxy
ArnoldTheCat v3 (custom)
EmydeOS v3 (custom)
CloudRadish v3 (custom)
FAQ
Can I dualboot with Windows/Linux?
Yes, but it's a little more complicated
Will this ever work on CloudReady?
We don't know, nor we have any ETAs. There's currently a repartitioned image (still not working with chromefy)
My motion sensors do not work, how do I rotate the screen?
Laptop mode/keyboard connected: press ctrl+shift+f3
Tablet mode: use this app by Andrew Whaley (source) (check out his blog)
Linux apps (crostini) are not working at all, how do i fix it?
Go check if you have enabled all virtualization related option in your BIOS (Ex: "Intel Virtualization", "VT-x", "VT-e" etc...) (you should)
Do automatic updates work? How to update?
Not at the moment, and it's unlikely we find a workaround; you can update by ONLY repeating step 3 (without step 4).
ChromiumOS works on live USB but not HDD, what to do?
Did you remove the USB before rebooting the fist time? If you did NOT, you might need to reinstall it. If you did, try using fix_grub.sh
Some apps (ex: Netflix) do not show up in the Play Store, how do I fix it?
Read next answer
SafetyNet check fails, why?
For SafetyNet not to break you need two things, leave selinux on enforcing when chromefying (only working on Pie, otherwise will break android container) and disable "cros_debug" in the grub launcher to boot without developer mode (Custom images [ex: CloudRadish] have custom boot entries for this)
ChromeOS flags are not showing up, why?
Try opening the chrome://flags page in incognito mode.
Alternatives
FydeOS
Fyde OS is a Chromium OS based operating system that comes with Android apps; if you don't want to bother with the hassle of running the chromefy script and just want an OS that works out of the box, this might be for you.
...Also the developers are awesome
ArnoldTheBat
Does not come with Android apps (yet), but he's awesome too, so there's that

Play Store (and crostini) works.
And yes, you can install it over FydeOS;
Some users report Arnold kernel working better for them, for others it's Fyde, so just test both to find the best one for your device

Tried it with Arnold special build on my AMD-450 with Radeon GPU and got a bootloop. I wasn't surprised because I don't think that there are any chromebooks with AMD chipset yet! The procedure was pretty painless though, thanks for all your hard work.

Just make sure you didn't accidentally use the ARM build
This is something I have offered for well over 3 years...... http://zzsethzz.blogspot.com/2015/09/install-chromium-upgrade-it-to-chrome.html
Does this not suffer from the same hardware support issues due to the fact that ChromeOS has very limited hardware support naively?

Tried that some time ago and never worked for me as well as this method, also this one let's you have Crostini with the new recovery images that have tpm protection.

That is simply a hardware based issue and not selecting the right build. I admit my project needs more work but even the github page tells you to use a build close to your own hardware. Also the TPM is bypassed and not a functioning part of the OS in this regard the same as mine, from a quick look anyway.
All this does is the exact same as my script but you have to download a lot of other crap too, my script does it all for you. This seems a rather long method to get the exact same thing.
Mine also doesn't require any messing with partitions, even between upgrading to newer versions.

Not build problem since I have an Ivy Bridge system and I'm using eve (pixelbook) recovery image and works perfectly, and maybe it's not your script fault, I don't remember it to be honest, I used it once 2 or more months ago. But another guy also has a script that downloads the image automatically. But I'm telling you to please join our telegram group, it's better if we work all together. I apologise if I somehow offended you.

Oh no you haven't offended me at all! Don't want you to think you have lol, I'm just joining telegram now as I've not used it before however it won't send me a verification message which is rather annoying. I was intended on seeing if its something that could be worked on together.

Your script, if I recall, uses the kernel from the downloaded chrome OS build, that's why you had to pick a version from a device with a similiar processor.
This not only limits the number of builds you can install, but, by extension, the features you can have, and the conpatible devices, and many drivers (bluetooth and stuff) may not work
This method copies the kernel from chromiumOS (as well as kernel modules and certificates)
Hi, I'm wondering if this can be installed in my 2016 Pixel C tablet, as it has an ARM processor and it was rumored to be designed to use Chrome OS.
Anyone can help me?
Is it multi-bootable with windows 10??

ATM you can't do this on Android tablets (unless they have a BIOS and live USB booting, which is not your case)
Will this method give Android and Linux app support to devices that Google hasn't enabled that for? I have an Acer C720p that's been an awesome Chromebook, and I use Ubuntu on it as well using crouton. I suspect it would run Android just as well, but so far the ability hasn't been unlocked officially.
Nice

Hi for everyone!
I have been looking for custom rom for our Motorola Edge +. But I haven't found any yet. However there is the option of the GSI rom's, this smartphone has an A / B system partition. 64-bit ARM CPU architecture. (information obtained with the "Treble Check" app)

I found some roms of this type, like the MIUI 12 GSI but I have not been able to test it because it is my only smartphone and I would need to be doing tests and checking stability.
Has anyone tried GSI roms?
Regards.
I've also been wondering if this is possible, let me know if you get any news on it.
I tried to flash a vanilla GSI Rom via TWRP, and it failed. I wanted to install the image to partition 'System', which isn't there. don't know if it has to do with the custom twrp that I used.
Got it working. after unlocking the bootloader I downloaded a GSI Android 10 ROM from here:
Releases · phhusson/treble_experimentations
Notes about tinkering with Android Project Treble. Contribute to phhusson/treble_experimentations development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
1) booted into the bootloader ('adb reboot bootloader' if your phone is in debug mode)
2) started fastbootd by typing fastboot reboot fastbootd
3) flashed the gsi image: fastboot flash system system-quack-arm64-vanilla.img
4) phone booted and said it couldn't find an image. chose for the option 'erasa /data' and voila.
not sure what is working and what is not working. probably will try some other gsi images later.

Well, I installed a Lineage 17.1 (Android 10) GSI rom. my goal now is not to get Android 11 running, but to get the phone running with some more Motorola functionality. I installed microg and hope at the end to have a useable phone. don't care if it is Android 10 or 11.
Anyone an idea how to get the motosignature library installed on a GSI image? it appears to be quite essential when one wants to take advantage of the motorola edge+ hardware

I can't seem to get them to flash. They always throw up an error when writing system, fails at the end.

Hello, how was your Motorola Moto Edge Plus? I'm thinking of putting ROM CUSTOM because of the facial recognition that Motorola excluded from the ROM STOCK.
I'm sorry for the language, I'm translating with google translator

The sole purpose of buying an Android phone for me was to degoogle it. (Unfortunately you cannot de-apple an iPhone). What I feel about the Motorola Edge? its a phone and it works, its a premium feel phone, but it isn't an iPhone (sorry imho iPhones have been and always will be the better, more complete phone). To achieve having a degoogled phone: I gave up on going down the road of loading a GSI and missing all kinds of proprietary/custom features of the devices. Instead I went back to de stock rom and degoogled and debloated it. I am happy now to run microG, Aurora Play Store and other things to spoof my identity / location / contact tracing. And I am happy to feel that I am not playing the game of big tech anymore. For as long that its possible.

lol yes. Still for some reason failing. I wonder if it is the version of adb I'm using or the GSIs themselves?
Got it! I needed a newer fastboot version. Running like a charm now
@crixley @Hansaplast31
Could you possibly let us know what gsi you used and what files you flashed to make your device function? Also a step by step?
I really would like a step by step too if it's possible please!
I have posted a tutorial on how to flash GSI. I got lineageos 18 working but without VoLTE or Display over USB. I don't think there is a custom rom with Display over USB though.

I share the same philosphy about buying a phone.
LineageOS 19.1 for SM-T580 (gtaxlwifi) is running only on my tablet, sorry for the confusion , the below software is also based on Android 12.1. I edited my heading since I wrote I like the Samsung rom about my tablet , which is not related to what I found below, I don't know what if any kernel it using, the message I got back maybe confusion the XDA staff that moved it to the windows subform which I didn't know at the time existed here. Again the above info about my tablet and the below topic is more about how I found Android 12 now can be run on windows 11.Magisk on WSA (with Google Apps) on windows 11, I been able to play with and make an X64 for my computer, not sure I don't think we can use the arm64 port under windows 11, but in any case the X64 for the most part is able besides running offically kindle appstore and kindle app under windows 11 now, and offically microsoft has release it as that, this below is unoffical since its not supported, also it can run google playstore and play books but its not completely stable for me, it can run it fine then the next minute its crashing its windows on my gigabyte desktop, I haven't tried them on my laptop yet, it maybe more stable on my nvidia laptop or my intel based laptop, not sure since they do crash on my desktop at times they run fine, but again its really new, microsoft just put Kindle playstore, with Windows Subsystem for android in microsoft store, the kindle playstore from microsoft store also crashes just like the unoffical version, I don't think its out of beta software state, yet, but wanted to share it here, if in any case , anyway one who releases stuff like LineageOS for my tablet , wants to take a look at this project below, I just forked it at my github, the offical links to there project are below too, I am just sharing it here, in hopes that the more people know about it the better the project will get, also its better than running an android emulator on windows 11, or at least it would be if it didn't crash on my gigabyte desktop, with my nvidia rtx 2080 3D card. under windows subsystem you can select which 3D card it runs on, I haven't tried playing much games on the project below but I beat while its running stable the 3D games will play better, I have also tried blue stacks on windows before, but I do prefer the projects idea below more. under my builds below I included the keep Kindle Appstore, but if anyone wants that can be removed too, same for Magisk you can build it without that too in it if you want. on the github website. since microsoft removed the ebooks feature, I think the idea of using either play books under windows 11 or other ebook android based e readers is a great idea, but at times I do miss the build of edge that was able to open epub files. you can also set the windows subsystem for android when using the play books app on windows 11 to use the text to speech from android you can play aloud the ebooks with androids voices like in english US or english UK if you prefer, that's another nice thing that works with the below project.Website for its project below,

maximalEbooks/MagiskOnWSA

so when I log out of my github.com account, then the files are not downloadable, I don't know if it was that way before or if something at that site changed, in any case, you can fork the project on your own github account and create the files if you don't have access to them. I was able to download the x64 build and use it just fine, but there maybe sharing rules at github that I am not aware if since I am a new user using it.

Below is a message I got when posting here, just reply back to that's questions here too if anyone else was wondering.
I have a few questions for you.
First, is this Windows software, such as for a virtual machine?
Second, where is your kernel source?
Your timely response is appreciated.
XDA Staff
They ask me these questions , I as A college student try to answer it as best I found, windows based software, it's like a virtuàl machine , I think it's sort of more native app but I am not sure runs on windows 11 and works to bring Android 12.1 to windows 11 in Microsoft store you can only run Kindle app and Kindle app store but as above project is for allows more real Android software to work, that's the point of it, since it runs on top of windows , I don't know if there's any kernel source . I don't think it has a kernel but I could be wrong, anyway I wanted to post a direct reply here to if any other home users had questions, I hope I explain it better, I am running it for ebook reads Android based for my own personal desktop and for the Android games that can be played on windows, but I also use custom stuff from here on my Samsung Galaxy tab but I just wanted to share what I found with others if they didn't know about that project which I think is really cool that someone created that for windows 11. From my understanding of the windows subsystem for Android is I read somewhere online that it using an Android 12.1 version , the above project says something to that from what I remember seeing somewhere about it.
some shared screen captures of stuff you can do on windows 11 with android. one shows two games I install, and a few ebook readers, was able to install marvels android app, not the login has a bug, otherwise you can get other comic views on android in play store, that will work just as well, I don't know if the marvel app works correctly on a real android tablet or not, not sure which app I was using for viewing them before, but on windows I was unable to get that to log in. maybe has to do with the software still beta to run android since it has sometimes crash on my desktop, otherwise all these apps seem to work more or less. comic & manga by Comixology is the working app, that other one listed as marvel doesn't log in but the one in the first image here does. and the comics download and are viewer it seems. so you can either view them on your tablet or your pc
