LuneOS October Stable release: Eggnog Latte (original) (raw)

LuneOS Egg Nog Latte

Happy Halloween! The long wait is finally over #LuneOS and #webOS fans! We’re back with a new release called “Eggnog Latte” which is a milestone in terms of developments and paves the way forward!

So you’re wondering what we’ve been up to since our previous stable release at the end of last year?

We have done many major upgrades to a large number of components of our stack being:

We have been working closely together with the Halium, Mer and PostMarketOS projects and have made further integrations between LuneOS and the various projects reducing duplication between the projects and using a single source where possible. This all to be more easily integrated, and to facilitate ports to newer and more devices. We have also worked on support for devices which use a mainline kernel instead of an Android based kernel. As you might have seen, we have been working on support for the Pinephone which uses a mainline kernel. We also have been testing with the Nexus 5 (hammerhead) using a mainline kernel. All our setup has now been adjusted so we can work with both Android based targets and kernels as well as mainline kernels.

LG has a very clear vision in mind for webOS OSE as can be read on their blog posts. Since the initial release of webOS OSE 1.0 in March last year, there has been a total of 11 releases of webOS OSE already with a lot of improvements and added features added with each release. This month LG has released webOS OSE 2.0.0 with a lot of new features and also a new roadmap.

Download and Install

Feel free to download the updated builds to get started. Tenderloin, Hammerhead and Tissot remain our focus for now, but the emulators, Mako and Mido work too.

Please note that in order to use the latest stable builds Nexus 4 (Mako) and Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) you need to flash the CM 12.1 images first using CWM/TWRP. In order to do so, you might be required to do a “factory reset” or at least “wipe cache”. CWM/TWRP will indicate when this is needed. After successfully flashing CM 12.1, make sure to boot it at least once before going back to CWM/TWRP to flash the latest LuneOS image! We have provided links to CM 12.1 for these 3 images on our device pages below.

Installation instructions for TouchPad (Tenderloin), Nexus 4 (Mako), Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) and Emulator are on the wiki. And remember we don’t do timelines.

Don’t forget to contact us with any questions and feel free to join the discussion on the webOS Nation forums. Catch us on Twitter @webosports on IRC: Freenode:#webos-ports or email webos.ports@gmail.com.

We will see you shortly again with a new release!
