Is MaruOS possible?
« on: August 14, 2018, 06:27:25 am »
Hi all

I'm new here, joined specifically to ask this question. I really like the look of the Gemini and I could see it having a place in my life. I recently found my old Casio Digital Diary and I really loved that form factor back in the day, I do wonder whether it could work now? I think it would be most useful if I could use it as some sort of hybrid device, phone/pda on the go and more full-featured desktop when I'm at home. The ideal way to achieve that would be with something like MaruOS.

I've asked the question over on their forum and they seem reasonably positive that it could be done, assuming that the Gemini supports HDMI Alt Mode over USB-C, which seems likely given Planet Computers sell a USB-C to HDMI cable that (if I understand it correctly) can only be used on one of the ports.

This is a little out of my area of expertise. Would anyone (or group of people) here be interested/able to port MaruOS to the Gemini, complete with some of the Gemini-specific software?

All the best

David

I've recently found out that MaruOS is now mostly based on LineageOS and that a Lineage port exists for the Gemini: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=34894 although it doesn't look like it completely works, at the moment, still, it's promising.
