Unofficial ports & projects

Don't see your device in the list above?

WebOS Ports is an open source project the team encourages people to port it to as many devices as possible. Not all of these devices are currently being worked on by WebOS Ports and therefore cannot be officially supported by WebOS Ports at this time. They are not "officially recognized" (and therefore do not have official builds), but we would still like you to know that these exist!

The list of unofficially-ported devices

Add a new official device to the wiki

Select [Expand] to the right for instructions.

Add a device to the wiki

Note:

In following these steps, replace CODENAME with the codename for the device.

1. Set up the device template

The device template is the "universal settings" template, one per device. Copy the generic device template, then paste it into a new page with following template name:
Template:device_CODENAME
(Example: Template:device_grouper for the Nexus 7 tablet.)
Then edit the form, filling in as many fields as you are able, and save the new template you have created. (EDIT THE NEW TEMPLATE FOR YOUR DEVICE. DO NOT EDIT THE GENERIC BLANK ITSELF!)

2. Add it to the list

Next, view the source of this template and find the following appropriate place for your device to appear in the list. Then add the following line to the list of devices:
{{device_CODENAME|function={{{function}}}}}
Then reload the page. You should now see a link where you added the line.

3. Create the device Info page

Click on the generated (red) link for the device. It should take you to the following empty "info" page:
CODENAME_Info
In this page, simply insert the following single line of content:
{{device_CODENAME|function=device_info}}

4. Create the device How To Install page

From the device Info page created in the previous step, on the (red) auto-generated link for the device installation instructions. It should take you to the following empty "How To Install" page:
Install_WOP_for_CODENAME
In this page, simply insert the following single line of content:
{{device_CODENAME|function=device_install}}
Save the page. You now should see an auto-generated installation walkthrough page for the device.

5. Create the device Build Walkthrough page

Next, to auto-generate a WebOS Ports build guide for this device, scroll to the bottom where it links (in red) to the Build Walkthrough for the device. It should take you to an empty "build for" page:
Build_for_CODENAME
In this page, simple insert the following single line of content:
{{device_CODENAME|function=device_build}}

That's it!
