LOCKED

other

Full dual or triple boot: webOS plus Android (CyanogenMod / LineageOS) and/or Ubuntu via community bootloaders · HP's August 2011 $99 fire sale flooded the market with cheap, near-identical hardware, which drove one of the largest homebrew porting efforts of the era: moboot let you dual-boot webOS alongside CyanogenMod builds of Android, later extended to postmarketOS. This is the device's whole legend, not the stock OS.
