WebOS - Untethered [Download]

Hey guys,

got a brand-spanking-new N7 for Christmas and saw on a news site about a WebOS port.

Now, I'm not sure if any of you have seen the Nook Color forums but I'm gonna tell you, they hacked a 2010 $250 e-reader to run every version of Android and Ubuntu. I'm a tinkering kind of guy and decided to give this ago.

So pretty much I took instructions from here:

http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Nexus_7_Build_Setup

And installed to the device here:

http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Testing_Nexus_7


It is moderate-hard difficulty, especially for people who have never tinkered with this kind of stuff before. There's only so much I can do for you guys, but I have simplified the install process quite a bit.

I DO reccomend building it yourself if you can, because it provides a learning experience plus you can get the build fresh out of the oven.

Note: This is work in progress, some stuff may not work, alpha, blah blah most of you have heard it.

Without further ado, I present to you:


Windows:

1. Download Windows.zip
2. Extract all to one directory, make sure Nexus is plugged in & ADB on
3. Run "Boot.exe"
4. Wait.

Linux version to come; Mac i'm not so sure about.




Credits: ALL credits go to WebOS-ports for making this port in the first place. I just made it easier for the common user to test this thing out. You can thank me if you like but please remember to do so to WebOS-ports as well.

Notes:

-This is an alpha build, according to the dev. It's nothing you could use everyday as an OS but this stuff is fun to play with
-I nor WebOS-ports take responsibility for your device in anyway! I don't care if your cat dies because it ate your N7 running WebOS, or you caused WWIII, or whatever. Please take caution.
