Excellent. I always liked WebOS on my Touchpad.
The available software for WebOS was just dismal

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!

LG Genesis (US760) - Could it be upgraded to KitKat?

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.

Manjaro Linux for Amlogic S922 devices

Hello, it is me again, testing something interesting on my Ugoos AM6 device.
A Group of developers called F.K. Tech Team have been posted distributives for different Amlogic SoCs.
They have managed to run XFCE and KDE Linux builds on mentioned SoCs.
I have managed to run both of them, but for KDE I had some problems with WIFI, so XFCE is more interesting for me.
The basic process to start distributive is simple:
1. Download archive with needed build from the F.K. Tech Mirror
(I put the link for Ugoos but you can find other devices on their website)
2. Burn flash drive or EMMC flash to plug in your Amlogic device.
Here I usually use balenaEtcher app for Windows PC (can easily google it)
Interface is so simple, so you need just to choose unpacked archive from the folder you have been downloaded and choose USB drive to burn (or EMMC flash)
3. Plug in the flash drive and start your Amlogic device. Some devices start initially from your drive and some of them need to be pushed using recovery button (there is a hole in AM6's housing case for this button)
4. First run may take a time, then follow simple instructions on the screen and in the end you got your XFCE ready to rock!

However, it is common problem for such SoCs to appear here too, video acceleration has only software support. So if you would like to check 1080p videos in youtube it is better to run Android or Andrroid TV even for such powerful SoC as AMlogic S922.
Hope guys can Fix it soon. For now, particularly for Ugoos AM6 there is a bunch of Android , Android TV and DualBoot CoreElec Firmwares

Development WSA Sideloader - Easily sideload APKs on Windows Subsystem for Android

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.

General SophiApp - Windows 11 Tweaker

SophiApp. The next chapter of the Sophia Script project;
SophiApp is a free, open-source app for fine-tuning Windows 10 & Windows 11. It offers a modern UI/UX, more than 130 unique tweaks, and shows how Windows can be configured without making any harm to the OS. SophiApp may not work on a homebrew Windows. Especially, if the homebrew image was created by OS makers being all thumbs who break Microsoft Defender and disable OS telemetry by purposely uprooting system components. It's allowed to be logged in as one admin user only during application startup.
SophiApp is fully portable: it doesn't have any config (yet) and doesn't save any data into the registry. Just extract the SophiApp folder with Bin folder and SophiApp.exe.config file, and run SophiApp.exe.

Notes;
Some functions depend on Internet access. If not, they will be hidden in UI until the access appears back. You can enable hidden functions in UI by turning on the Advanced settings in the Settings. The hidden functions will be marked with a gear in UI. After closing SophiApp, it creates a log file that you can attach to an open issue (or send to the Telegram group) to help us understand the bug. The log file doesn't contain any sensitive personal information. We do not store any data neither in the Windows registry or any other server.​
