....HP has gone into detail today on exactly when and how developers will be getting access to webOS code. The company expects the entire open sourcing process to be complete by September, while Enyo, the application framework that debuted on the TouchPad and underpins webOS 3.0, is available as of today along with related developer tools.

Hmmm.... interesting. I see that the standard Linux kernel will be open sourced in March. Hopefully they release kernel sources for already-made devices (our TouchPads) so we can get the proprietary drivers (display, camera, etc.)? I know that kernel patches and drivers were released a long time ago, so I'm hoping this expands on that.
If these releases are about releasing source for WebOS devices hoping to build on the platform, then this should really help with the TP, IMHO. If this is only about Open WebOS as a platform, then... yay? I guess it's cool that WebOS is living on haha.

I'm hoping it means we can get finally some decent AV codes!

Now, I know for a fact that this phone does NOT have OEM support for Android 4.4. However, LG provides a lovely open source program, so I do have two sets of files.
One is for building the kernel for the phone, with all of the OEM-specific files for doing so, including drivers and such.
The other is I believe to be the device tree for the US760, with a bunch of propitiatory code. I'm not sure what exactly is important there.
The latest version of Android this device natively ran on was Froyo, and then didn't receive updates because the device didn't do very well sales wise.
My main question is if using that code is worth it, or if I should just go with basing off of a generic AOSP device tree for the processor and seeing how things go. There's little to no documentation on this phone (GSM/Phone Arena don't have almost any info, doesn't even exist on Wikipedia) so it's a bit difficult to get accurate specs for the device, but here goes.
(From HardReset.info)
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 QSD8650
CPU #1 Type: Scorpion
CPU #1 freq.: 1000.0 MHz (1-core)
GPU Type: Qualcomm Adreno 200
RAM Memory: 512.0 MB
Are those specs even enough to run Android 4.4? I don't mean run well by any means, but would the device even work?
My biggest concern is the dual screens. I don't know if it's a hardware switch or something baked into the kernel or something, but I'm not sure how well it would work if I based off of AOSP, or if only one screen would work, or if the phone just wouldn't boot. Here's a picture or two so you know what I mean.

Interested to see if anyone has any wisdom to bestow upon me.
Bit of an update.
Found out that the HTC Droid Incredible would be a great base for a Cyanogenmod rom.

Is LG's WebOS actually derived from the HP Touchpad's WebOS ?

Excellent. I always liked WebOS on my Touchpad.
The available software for WebOS was just dismal
Hi everyone,
I am here to share with you my attempt at making an APK installer for Windows Subsystem for Android, WSA Sideloader. This has been an open source project I had been working on for over 2 months now, with the first version released around the same time as the WSA public preview.
Like the name suggests, it features a user friendly interface allowing anyone to easily sideload APK files onto the subsystem, without typing any commands. Since the launch of version 1.0 back in February, I have continued to update the app with new features and bug fixes. Recently I have launched version 1.2, which includes an updated look and feel, APK permission viewer and WSA autostart.
But my work is not over yet. .apk file association is coming soon, so you can double click to install from File Explorer. I also have plans to launch an ARM64 build of WSA Sideloader, for devices running the ARM version of Windows 11. A test ARM64 build is currently available for version 1.1.10.

This is my first big open source project, and I plan to support it for a long time to come. It is also available to download from the Microsoft Store!
GitHub: https://github.com/infinitepower18/WSA-Sideloader
Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NMFSJB25QJR
Instructions, known issues and FAQs can all be found in the GitHub readme.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could try it out and leave feedback and any bug reports, so I can work on improving the program even further
Happy to announce that .apk file association is now available in version 1.3. The application now integrates with File Explorer, web browsers and other supported programs enabling (double) click to install functionality.
The update is now available to download from Microsoft Store as well as GitHub Releases.
Greetings.
Despairing that Sailfish OS will never have a decent browser and that it's actually losing ground in areas like support for ProtonMail and VPNs, I started looking for an alternative OS for the Sony XperiaX I got . . . to run Sailfish OS. A Lineage OS rom with the MicroG modifications would be fine -- if there were one already canned for the XperiaX. Likewise /e/. Best I can tell, there are not (please correct me if I'm wrong, bearing in mind that flashing a phone is like setting a broken leg to me -- I'll do it if I have to, but it's not something I'm good at). So I flashed away Sailfish 4.4.0.68 and installed OTA 23 of what's apparently the stable branch of Ubuntu Touch. It's pleasingly smooth in many ways, but . . .
-- There is NO documentation I can find. Nor can I find any forum or mailing list. It seems to be developers only, which is fine if you don't have or plan to have users. Does anyone know of any support forum or mailing list that helps mere users try out the OS?
-- There is no attention (yet, at least) paid to security, as witness the OS's inability to read an OVPN file so a VPN can be used. There is a document (https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/using-vpn-in-ubuntu-touch-3065) that describes how one might strip the necessary information from an OVPN file, but c'mon.
-- It is apparently possible to manipulate the left-side frequently-used-applications bar (or whatever it's called; again, there seems to be no user documentation even establishing names for these things), because I've seen different apps in that bar in different screenshots. But nowhere can I find anything describing how this is done. (I learned that you need to open the app store to delete an app entirely by accident.)
The hits just keep on coming, but I'll stop there. Does anyone know of any user support site/forum/listserv where we can sort these things out? I'd really like for it to succeed, and even more to be able to use it, but there are a few minimum requirements (VPN especially), that I need to be able to implement. Otherwise I'll have to go back to Sailfish and the world's worst non-Konqueror browser.
Never mind, I guess. I said hell with it and flashed the Lineage OS for MicroG image. Ubuntu Touch is prettier and smoother, but I need an operating system, not a puzzle game, and absent user documentation it's more the latter than the former. It's kind of like Linux in 1997, but without the newsgroup support.
Same thing here, couldn't even get beyond their installer. I guess UB touch is as bull**** as ubuntu itself...
for pointing it out! I thought already it was me but no, it's ubuntu...

hi everybody, i want flashing lineageos based custom roms.
twrp recovery is currently available, but unfortunately, a stock android based or lineageos based, custom android roms has not been released. I can't support development because I don't know coding or have no command of these issues. Can you add a list of custom roms under this topic? Thanks everyone
There seems not much, you can limit this device thread to "Development":

There are just two, one ROM, one recovery...

Excuse my wise words but then perhaps it would have been better to look first what's available (as in custom ROMs) and then buy accordingly.
Sounds tedious but I always crosscheck my buys beforehand with
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
That usually saves you from rare and unsupported/unsupportable devices (like those based on Mediatek SOCs).

Is that right? I thought, they cannot prepare customs before code is released by manufacturer... slight but noteworthy difference, right?

Custom roms cannot be prepared without releasing the source code. I am impatiently waiting for the day when I will upload custom rom. When will the source code be released?
