  • Is KaiOS dead ? (maybe not, or maybe)
    1 project | /r/KaiOS | 22 Aug 2023
    KaiOS' GitHub is pretty active, especially the kaiostech/gecko-b2g repo.
  • How did the KaiOS work?
    2 projects | /r/KaiOS | 24 May 2023
    For instance, you can see in https://github.com/kaiostech/gecko-b2g/tree/gonk/widget/gonk code that deals with the low level windowing & events components.
  • Has KaiOS stalled
    1 project | /r/KaiOS | 18 Jul 2022
    They bump to v3.5 last year(https://github.com/kaiostech/gecko-b2g/commit/d99a1fc774f08c963286e14546ee7f744afb710d) and still commit updates. I believe when the OS is completely stable, they have a solid prototype to present to OEMs.
  • Is KaiOS really considered open-souce?
    1 project | /r/KaiOS | 26 Jun 2022
    Partly open-sourced, to be precise. While the Boot2Gecko and some Gonk modules originated from Mozilla's Firefox OS are kept open-sourced in compliance with Mozilla Public License (MPL), the other newly-developed parts like the device drivers, Gaia apps and other Gonk modules aren't. They're either tied to KaiOS Technologies themselves, their investors or to the devices' OEMs such as HMD/Nokia Mobile.
  • Learn about gecko internals and its requierements ?

    For now, the Gecko-B2G developer team is working on version 3.2 (mostly the Gecko version is also the KaiOS version). You can keep track of source code and commits here: https://github.com/kaiostech/gecko-b2g. Note that it isn't the full source code of KaiOS, as I've explained in some earlier post:

  • LibreWolf browser: telemetry stripped Firefox fork
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Nov 2021
    I'm part of the team maintaining the "boot 2 gecko" aka b2g fork (we push it to https://github.com/kaiostech/gecko-b2g) so I have some experience building a non-firefox product on top of gecko, and maintaining a non-upstream platform (the "android without java" stack called Gonk).

    At some point we compared gecko with a blink port on Gonk, maintaining both while we were doing performance comparison on low end mobile devices. We were looking both at memory usage and page loading speed.
