Me and A friend of mine, decided to work on a OS.
I thought it was a good idea, and we started on it. It first turned out to be a Desktop OS, but things weren't as expected.
Once CC 1.6 came out, I had an idea to create kOS into a Pocket OS.
The desktop version was based on OSX Mavericks, So when It came to making the PDA OS, I thought we should work on a iOS based OS,
I already had everything set up, So it worked out great. A couple of revamps on stuff, and hard bug fixing, but it finnaly came to a finish, everything needed for the future

Owned by Me [Zambonie] and KittenTheEpic, This is


kOS dev 0.2


Based on iOS, this OS works a lot like it, but still this is only the first release.
It features a fully working dock, grid, and pages (12 apps max on 1 page, then a new page appears)
A slide lock screen, and a couple of apps.
Settings to delight all you need, including some future planned settings
This OS has been in the works for a while now, and is , I guess well made.
It features 4 backgrounds, Mavericks [Default], Earth, Tree, and Blue.


New in update 0.2!
Spoiler
  • Autoupdating!
  • Improved Rendering to eliminate Flickering
  • Dock Settings
  • Along with a new dock system
  • New App - Tiles
  • Started a little on the kpkg's!
Screenshots

  • Shell
  • Worm
  • pocketGPS
  • Chat
  • Settings
  • Gallery
  • Tiles


Upcoming Features
Spoiler
  • App Store (Proboly Going to be named AppGet)
  • Nonifications (Proboly most likley to come out when Beeping and Buzzing comes out, if it will)
  • Special Apps that can do various stuff to partner w/ kOS,
  • And Password Locks
​Post your suggestions!


Credits
Spoiler
  • Everyone For their Support
  • The app creators of the apps
  • Zambonie for most of the coding
  • KittenTheEpic For creating most of the images and background, creating suggestions, and Being the Founder of this OS


IMPORTANT: Before Installing…
In your config, allow github or just allow all the pages using a '*'
So it looks like this:

# A semicolon limited list of wildcards for domains that can be accessed through the "http" API on Computers. Set this to "*" to access to the entire internet.
S:http_whitelist=*


To Install This OS, in a advanced PDA w/ HTTP enabled. type

pastebin run k7dmqUCg


This will install the os then restart your computer to run it.

FAQ:
SpoilerQ: How do I lock the computer?
A: Press the L key, then click and drag your mouse where it says so to unlock it.

I hope you enjoy :)/>
If you have any suggestions, Post them!
As well w/ Questions, Post them too!

Thanks :)/>

Seems Nice!
I like it, Good for a first start :)/>
I have a suggestion,
Add special Apps that can push nonifications, add desktop backgrounds, and etc! Maybe the extension should be .kpg ? (kOS Program)

Looks good! However, when I try to run this, I get an error:
string:59: attempt to index local 'fileHandler' (a nil value)

I don't know if it's the emulator (Gamax92's CCLite) I'm running it on though.
EDIT: yup, it was the emulator, works perfectly fine on Minecraft itself. Good job.

This actually kinda inspired me to make something similar… don't know if I should though.

I notice you're wanting to have an App Store included.

I've been meaning to release the App Store in OneOS as a standalone program. So if you'd rather use that (which would be a lot easier) let me know.

Sure, though I might make little tweeks so it can do various stuff w/ kpkg files.
I'm expecting to be finished with this update by at least today or tomorrow, Then to be released by then.

Hey! You've added my game! :D/> You know, your OS kinda makes me want to make my own….

Perhaps there will be some competition soon. ;)/>

Posted 01 June 2014 - 02:25 PM
Ya, I really like that game :)/>
I notice there's a lot of flickering though, Id be happy if you'd fix that :)/>

kOS 0.2.1 is comming out in a while - Manual install because something that I didn't notice before disallows the auto update to work.
That update will include a bug fix for the auto update
A couple of more backgrounds
And (possible) a new start screen.

Actually, yesterday I updated it so that there should be less flickering now along with performance improvements. Also added in rush mode.

Hm, I probably didn't see it.
Ill include that in 0.2.1.

Zambonie #28
Posted 02 June 2014 - 11:01 PM
0.2.1 is Going to be 0.3..
Here are the things that are going to be added:
-More Desktop Backgrounds (For Sure)
-Fix for Autoupdating
-New App (Something that I started about late yesterday)
-Update Any other apps
-Top bar will be 'transparent'
-And a little start on animations

I got half of this done already - So thats why I decided just to push this update as 0.3.

I've been getting errors that say bios: 500 Domain not permitted errors. I don't know what's going on….

I need the domain that the OS needs to run. I keep getting errors for not whitelisting the domain needed for the OS, so i just get sent back to CraftOS to try and fix it.

The only page it needs to get on is github. To allow all pages, put a '*' as the value in the S:http_whitelist in the configs so It looks like this:

# A semicolon limited list of wildcards for domains that can be accessed through the "http" API on Computers. Set this to "*" to access to the entire internet.
S:http_whitelist=*

Sorry, I forgot to add that into the topic. Im updating it now Done
