LunarOS is the OS provided by the manufacturer. it is an Android Board Support Package (BSP). It is Andorid based and has user interface, similar to AOSP. It’s lacking advanced features though (e.g. OTA update). It’s usually used by developers to port and support a custom ROM on a device.
But can be used by end-users too. I used LunarOS on the BraX3 for a couple of months when iodeOS was early in development.
Currently LunarOS doesn’t have some of the bugs present on the current iodeOS version - WiFi issue, and some banking app issues.
@plamen, PLEASE give us a “clean” copy of LunarOS…without “userdebug” watermark. There is also a “Serial console enabled” message that performance is impacted, to disable, check bootloader…is that something that can be corrected without rooting the phone?
One of the people on here asked you a question about when trying their new Brax 3, it identified itself “as having dido OS”. I thought that was an unusual name for an OS and used DuckduckGo to learn more. Allegedly many years ago produced a low priced smartphone called the Pepsi P-1. An article published online about this at that time mentioned a built in ai capability. I was very curious since these new ai chips such as NPU, TPU and others did not exist before 2018? Was someone on that board making this up? I speculated at that time, that these early ai chips were designed mainly for GPU, GUI and housekeeping activities, like screen use (day vs night), battery and power supplies, sensors. I was angry when I learned that the Pixel I bought already had an ai chip inside because I did not know the real purpose of it. Was it for the purpose of client side scanning? I want to know if it is. That is why I was surprised to read about “ai” capability in dido OS which was a fork of AOSP years ago. I like transparency of this technology since I can not trust Big Tech. In California, recently Google and others have paid and continue to pay multi billion dollar fines for violating California state Privacy laws and they do not seem to care. Why should they be honest about anything when paying huge government fines like this without an appeal? California counties are also filing mega million dollar lawsuits against big tech for Privacy law violations and winning.
I’m not familiar with the OS to be honest. It was used for benchmarking performance when testing iodeOS. As I understand, it isn’t open source and includes Google’s ecosystem, and we have no intention of publishing/sharing it, as it’s not aligned with our requirements for publishing an OS.
WOW! I want nothing to do with dido OS! The subtext in my question was wondering if dido was degoogled, and how Google allowed Pepsi to degoogle them. IMHO Pepsi has enough money to have their own “client data extraction centers” so Pepsi could be viewed as an extraction threat to Google? This Pepsi threat could be “Poogle” or “Pepsi-oodle” we would leave our “Pepsi tracks” everywhere and question the dominance of “Coca Cola” until they got their own smartphones called “Cokephones”? Naw! Google wants it ALL.
Could it be possible that Dido OS was an “auto correct” kind of mistake? I can picture someone typing IODE OS and some auto correct changing it to Dido.
Different Operating Systems have different Pros and Cons in terms of usability, features, etc. Some people may enjoy one over the other due to personal preference.
We believe that giving the freedom of choice to the user is the right thing to do. Instead of locking the device down to a single OS option.
In any case, any OS we promote covers the standards for privacy (no tracking, open-sourced) and security (regular software patches).
