So let's create another OS, it won't be the same this time.

Whaddyamean SFOS is a niche OS because no apps?
It's my daily driver with pretty much all the features I need.
And here 'features' != 'apps'

WebOS goes back to 2011, and further back to PalmOS, so it's not really a new one. It has to be re-created by devs bc of proprietary stuff, but if you look at what has been done and the effort being put into it staying alive, (not only LuneOS, but even legacy WebOS, software and hardware as-is), it speaks of the fact of it being "not just another alternative OS". LG, who currently owns WebOS, and still uses it for tvs, even met with LuneOS team recently to talk about their plans for an official open WebOS. fact is: WebOS is awesome, and if the attention could miraculously be given to it, it jas a real chance to succeed ...

it doesn't have a chance to succeed

even tizen is dead, while samsung has way more resources to do something with it than lg has

PS not only did I have hp touchpad, I've had palm m505 and sony nx73v, so I know a lil bit of history

PPS from all those OSes besides ios/android, only Sailfish looks live enough to be a real alternative someday, so all the resources ideally should be put into it, not spread all over dead OSes and forks.

Probably true... I had to try. I'm actually pretty happy w/ Sailfish also. You have to admit, though, being an old-time WebOSer - it would be pretty neat to have it on an XC.

I updated my X Compact to SFOS 3.0.2.8. No other problems except that settings did not offer the update for me directly (I'm in EA) so I had to do

has anyone run the g7 patcher successfully on 3.0.1 or 3.0.2? I got it to go fine right up to the last line, then the script closes when it can't find it's own temp file, and ends with "... I: Repacking cat: /vagrant/droid-config-f5121/kickstart/pack/f5121/hybris: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'patcher-tmp/work/Sailfish*.zip': No such file or directory" Any ideas?

Full log is here - https://pastebin.com/nKh8QAqk

I was able to get patched root.img by changing the last line of the script from "patcher-tmp/work/Sailfish*.zip" to "patcher-tmp/work/root.img", but I think it contains all partitions, so not sure how to divied it, and fashing it to system doesn't work.

I think i had the same problem on a earlier release too. Please check post 106 and 108.

The trick is to clone the repository correct, i have done this on linux vm and moved the files to windows.

Then you can clone the repository (form g7 readme):

Code:

git clone https://github.com/g7/sailfishx-patcher-f5321.git
cd sailfishx-patcher-f5321
git submodule init
git submodule update

Thanks, but I'm using Windows 10. Vagrant and Vbox worked fine to patch 2.2, but getting this error on 3.0...

Do you know soecifically which files are different depending on whoch address you cloned? Maybe I can manually download appropriately through Windows...
