So, as it was promised, today our alpha becomes public and everyone (brave enough) is invited to the test.

See official GerdaOS website for all info: https://gerda.tech

It was demoed there when the file manager and settings apps were minimized instead of closing.

Press power button:

Slide lid open completely - app is minimized.
Slide lid half-open - screenshot is taken.
Slide lid closed - power button functions normally.

There's no other choice when the set of physical keys is so limited. Of course, this scheme turns on when the screen is turned on. When the screen is off, power button acts normally regardless of the lid position.

Btw, thanks to speeduploop for an initial idea about using the slide lid.

This is something I'm not so sure about. Initial test target was TA-1048.

But you can try, this is why public alpha test was launched in the first place.
It must be a matter of persist.radio.multisim.config system property anyway.

But I beg you to backup modem partitions (fsg, modem, modemst1, modemst2, rpm). With dd or something.

@Luxferre, did you try "this.hardwareButtons.publish('holdhome');" ?

@Luxferre, thanks for the amazing work!

I have a Chinese sample phone (similar to TIM easy 4g), running on KaiOS.
Is there any way I could simply port the GerdaOS for it?

The boot.img I would manually do the changes, the main issue is importing the webapps & other functionality of the System.

I assume most of the KaiOS/b2g is not device specific...

The system.gaiamobile.org is very device specific. For instance, undocumented SlideManager and navigator.kaiosExtension/navigator.engmodeExtension APIs are used which are not present in other stock device firmwares.

Does this mean, GerdaOS would need to be built for each device seperately.

Or, can we still use most of the project source for any device, and just patch the device-specific parts...?

My device does run on KaiOS 2.5, but a very old version (probably similar to v10 of 8110), so I would really like to upgrade it + the added Gerda functionality... :)

Is there a way to recover KaiOS if I use the make method?

Many thanks for this alpha Gerda Package! 
I already enjoy the functionalities and smoothness on my french 8110 dual sim. Very easy to install on v13 following the instructions.

Is there a trick to get full access to remote runtime for Webide? Used to work on v13 jailbreaked with the 
adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/local/debugger-socket command

Best regards,

No, it is disabled for the sake of privacy on GerdaOS.

Just tried installing on my TA-1071 (single SIM) using the install zip and Gerda recovery, but the installation almost instantly aborts. The logs say "read on sdcard failed: I/O error". Will try the 'build' method now.

Yes, it is a crappy one though. I'll try it with a different one.

Thanks Luxferre!
