| 26 June 2013 | Alpha2 Release Announcement and General Update |
Dear Community,
Today we're releasing an Alpha 2 version of our work. We have worked very hard through the last few months to achieve our goals of having a usable device running Open webOS. Due to a variety of factors, we aren't as far as we thought we could be. Nevertheless, we have implemented some important features that warrant the Alpha 2 release.
These features are:
- Video acceleration for card web apps (not perfect yet)
- Audio playback support (includes HTML5 audio support)
- Telephony support through the Android telephony stack (based on the great work of the Ubuntu Touch project. Thank you very much guys!)
- Mostly not available through the UI, but if you put a SIM card with unlocked PIN into your device you will notice the telephony indicator.
We are currently basing our porting efforts on top of the | libhybris project, which enables us to utilize Android hardware drivers to support most hardware dependent components such as accelerated graphics, telephony, sensors, and GPS. libhybris is the same thing which powers Ubuntu Touch on all the different Android based devices. Our developers are continuously contributing to the libhybris project so that we can share solutions developed as part of the libhybris project with the projec's other users (eg. Mer, Salfish and Ubuntu Touch).
We already achieved a lot but are still not at the point of having a usable day phone or tablet as we're missing a lot work on the application side. There is already existing work to port preware to enyo 2 but there are still a lot other areas which need help. If you're a webOS enthusiast or like our project feel free to contribute (you find all ways to contact us at http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Communications). We need all the help we can get to achieve our final goal of having a usable phone/tablet!
If you want to try it out on your Galaxy Nexus smartphone (codename maguro) you will find instructions and a link to the images below.
- Galaxy Nexus (Maguro)
We created a list with things we need help with at http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Help_Wanted
The webOS ports team!
