[Tutorial] How does a 16-year-old hacker pack Windows 95 into a smart watch?

Corbin Davenport, a 16-year-old hacker from Georgia, is very fond of playing with electronic products. Recently, he just got a Samsung Gear Live and started to play with it. He found that the revision of Android Wear as an Android system has not fundamentally changed, and he can still manually install Android applications on it. As a result, he began to install the Android app on his watch and posted a video of running Minecraft Pocket on his smart watch. Next, I posted several more videos, the most popular of which is the presentation video of Gear Live running Windows 95.

How did he do it? Yesterday he posted a tutorial on his personal website. The entire process is not complex and involves three steps:

1. Install ADB. ADB is a program that allows developers to debug Android applications on their mobile phones. Windows users can use this tool for installation. For Mac and Linux, Corbin has developed an installation tool named Nexus Tools.

2. Enable the debugging mode. Enable USB debugging on the Android mobile phone first. If the debugging fails, go to settings-about the mobile phone and click the version number continuously). Then, enable the debugging mode on the smart watch, open settings-click the version number consecutively and click "ADB Debugging" ADB Debugging in the developer options) and "Debugging over Bluetooth" for Debugging ). Then it displays "Host: disconnected" and "Target: connected ".

3. Install the application. Click here to download an APK program ). Connect your phone to your computer via USB, run the command prompt, and enter "adb devices" to display the following information:

This means that the phone is successfully connected to the computer, and then you need to connect to the watch, enter the following code:

Enter "adb devices" again. If the following information is displayed, the connection is successful:

Then you can install the APK program. Enter "adb-e install" and drag the APK file to see the following code:

Press "enter". If "Success" is displayed, the operation is successful. You can find the installed Android App in the App list of the Android Wear watch.

The above operations will not cause your watch to lose its warranty. As for Windows 95, it does not really run on the watch, but runs through a DOS simulator ADosBox. ADosBox is a free Andorid application, you can install it on the Android Wear device by using the above method.

For smart watch users, installing Android applications on watches is not practical, especially when running Windows 95. However, it is interesting if you want to have fun.

The 16-year-old hacker is also very interesting. He said the above is not a "hacker ". On the website, he said he was a programmer, author, and someone else who could repair computers. He enjoys playing with technologies, especially old products. He also has a game news website named Powered by Redstone.
