Maru OS can now run on Lineage OS . Preetam (the developer) supports this.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maru-os-devHello Maru enthusiasts!
If you have been keeping up with our dev forums and ports you will notice that a lot of our ports for non-Google/AOSP devices are using LineageOS builds as the base to leverage all the great device support work done by the Lineage community. This was all because of Georgian's work in getting Maru working on LineageOS with his LG and HTC builds so I want to say a big THANK YOU to him for pushing the project forward.
Given that we have so many non-Google ports going on now, I think it's about time that Maru OS has an official branch based on LineageOS that all of these ports can use. This will save a lot of time for our porters as they will not have to worry about the details of integrating Maru's core code into their Lineage build--they can just focus on the device-specific stuff. This should give our porting velocity quite a boost.
Another advantage of supporting an official LineageOS-based manifest is that we will be able to bring our legacy devices to newer Android versions as well. (Let's be honest, Android 6 is super old now!!)
So I've gone ahead and started the process. And what better way to start than getting a prototype of Maru on LineageOS 14.1 / Android 7 running on our trusty old Nexus 5? See attached screenshot for the proof! Maru Desktop is running fine and everything. There are some polish details that I'll need to iron out before actually doing an official release but we are well on the way to making this happen.
Stay tuned as I will keep updating this thread as I begin to upload these branches to our GitHub so all our ports can switch over to LineageOS.
P.S. Honestly, I've wanted to start doing this for a while but haven't had the time since my transition to working part-time on Maru (see my blog post for details if you haven't already). But, I've made it a resolution to get more work done on Maru this year and I think we are going to have some pretty cool updates this year!
