WARNING: DO NOT EDIT!

THIS PAGE IS NOT A REGULAR WIKI PAGE. IT IS A WIKI *TEMPLATE* AUTO-INCLUDED INTO POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS OF OTHER PAGES. ANY CHANGE MADE HERE WILL AFFECT ALL THESE PAGES SIMULTANEOUSLY, INCLUDING PAGES DEALING WITH MANY TYPES OF DEVICES. SO DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THANKS!

Install the build

[[comment_install-the-build-for-{{{device_name}}}|Add a comment to this section]]


Assuming the build completed without error (it will be obvious when it finishes), type:

# cd $OUT

in the same terminal window that you did the build. Here you’ll find all the files that were created. The stuff that will go in /system is in a folder called system. The stuff that will become your ramdisk is in a folder called root. And your kernel is called... kernel.

But that’s all just background info. The two files we are interested in are (1) recovery.img, which contains ClockworkMod recovery, and (2) WOP-[something].zip, which contains WebOS Ports Open webOS.


Install WebOS Ports open WebOS

[[comment_install-wop-for-{{{device_name}}}|Add a comment to this section]]

Back to the $OUT directory on your computer-- you should see a file that looks something like:

wop1.0alpha2-20240416-UNOFFICIAL-{{{device}}}.zip

Note:

The above file name may vary depending on the version of WebOS Ports Open webOS you are building. Your build may not include a version number or may identify itself as a "KANG" rather than UNOFFICIAL version. Regardless, the file name will end in .zip and should be titled similarly to official builds.

Now you can flash the wop...zip file above as usual via recovery mode. (Be sure you have backed up any previous installation before trying your new build.)

Success! So....what's next?

You've done it! Welcome to the elite club of self-builders. You've built your operating system from scratch, from the ground up. You are the master/mistress of your domain... and hopefully you've learned a bit on the way and had some fun too.

Now that you've succeeded in building WebOS Ports open WebOS for your device, here are some suggestions on what to do next.

Also, be sure to take a glance at the Dev Center on this wiki for all kinds of more detailed information about developer topics ranging from collecting logs, understanding what's in the source code directories, submitting your own contributions, porting WebOS Ports open WebOS to new devices, and a lot more.

Congrats again!
