Maru OS for Nexus 5

[Hammerhead2502]

While surfing through the net I found something really interesting for our Nexus 5. It's titled as Maru OS by the original developers. It was the first time I heard about it, so I thought I'll paste it here so that people get to know more about it and if someone has used it, they might share the experience. What this amazing OS does it it turns your desktop to Debian Linux as soon as you connect your phone. That's something really interesting. Wanna know more? Checkout this link here.

If you wanna know about the hardware which the dev supports, try this.

Maru is open source, read it here.

Maru FAQ page for current users is here.

Note - I'm not the original developer. I'm just promoting the devs awesome work. I believe in Maru. Checkout the screenshots to see it yourself.

Good afternoon, I asked and checked for a build with no success. Does it is only in the developer's hands?

Dont hurry him too much, he is currently preparing code and github stuff and such things. If youd read the post youd know that.

We all are waiting eagerly, my friend. He said he'll give links to people in batches as to when they subscribed. I hope I'm not too far down the list.

 

[silent_bob52637]

I only signed up 10 days ago so I should be in the last batch but hopefully the batches are large and the site is capable of handling the traffic when the links are live

BTW
I been using Debian for the last 3 years on my PC so I'm really looking forward to having it instead of android for carrying round
Also i wonder if the Debian screen could be output via Chromecast/miracast think I will have to email and ask

Edit:
I just got my beta links but will need to download files read the documentation and flash it then I can come back with some first impressions but I'm still waiting for my slimport cable to arrive so can't test the Debian side for a few more days

And no it does not output via chromecast
Also Chromecast app eBay and play music I had to install from play store

Congrats man. Sounds good. Yeah, it's very minimal. Did you try it on a desktop?

 

[silent_bob52637]

Not yet still waiting for my cable to arrive
Not sure if its because I haven't connected to a monitor or not but if its running Debian at the same time as android then I have yet to feel any lag or slowdown

I flashed it yesterday and it looks promising... today I will try the dashboard mode as the cable I have it was not working with the Nexus.
