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:

• Migration of Open webOS to webOS OSE components.
  
  We are almost half way there in terms of the migration of old Open webOS components to their webOS OSE replacements.
  
  This was a monumental task due to the fact that webOS OSE code was released without any history. So every component needed to be analyzed to understand what was changed in the years of development inside of LG Electronics. Our custom changes needed to be re-assessed and re-implemented into the new components where applicable. A change of direction in certain aspects in terms of architecture made the whole exercise even more complicated. We do however believe that we’re in a good state now in terms of migration. There are still quite some components to migrate and we’ll get through that in the next releases.
  
• Qt:
  
  We migrated from Qt 5.11.3 to Qt 5.12.5 which included an update for Chromium from 65 to 69 amongst other improvements.
  
• Yocto upgrade:
  
  We upgraded from the no longer supported Yocto Pyro release, via the intermediary Rocko, Sumo and Thud releases to the latest Yocto release called Warrior.
  

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.

The following items on our to-do list will be where we focus next:

• Migration of remaining Open webOS components to the newer webOS OSE components and assess where further synergies could be achieved.
• Migrate to Yocto Zeus release.
• Update to Qt 5.13.
• Migrate Nexus 5 (hammerhead) to use mainline kernel.
• Finalize port for Pinephone.
• Work on support for Halium 8/9/10 in order to support newer targets.
• Messaging improvements.
• Camera improvements.
• Fix known issues on the various targets.
• Bring back official support for Touchpad 4G (current build works on Touchpad 4G but only WiFi).

Known issues:

• Node-SQLite3 is currently not working. Components using Node-SQLite3 have switched to an alternative storage method for now.
• Telephony not working on the Xiaomi Android 7 based targets. We have found the root cause, but haven’t been able to solve it yet.
• Virtual Keyboard sometimes randomly doesn’t appear.

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!
