Did you guys make a yourself build or just try using the one in the download? The one in the download is only 1mb so it's not an actual build. I created one and webos-dev-image-grouper.ext2 came out to be around 575mb

Oh man did I upload the wrong file? Thats why it isnt working

Sadly, I deleted my linux partition so I'll recompile it sometime next week and put it up

sorry guys

For those of you who cant build from source, here are the official nightly builds from the project. Do not mirror them!

Found this and it works.

    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:

    WebOS Installation Guide - Nexus 7 Edition

    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.

    Looks interesting and I am the tinkering kind of guy myself. Down to check it out. Oh, and I always wanted to say it.....FIRST!

    Using the image from 4/26/2013 I have not been able to get it to boot either, just hangs on a black screen.

    Yep, I'll include in OP and it saves me the trouble of reinstall Linux.

    Of course, all credits will go to you :p

    Actually I deleted it the other day but I'm rebuilding now. I'll put up a link as soon as I'm finished.
