PrimeOS is originally an Android-x86 based OS that provide desktop like experience on x86 based devices with top of the line features like Multi-Window, taskbar and Deca-pro Key mapping tool for playing games. Few weeks ago we received our Pinebook 1080p unit and started our work to port PrimeOS 0.5.0 to Pinebook.
Feature Highlights:
- Multiple features to give a desktop experience like start menu, taskbar, etc.
- Multi-window support with maximize, minimize, close, resize, etc.
- Option to disable multi-window for any app in case you need.
- General keyboard shortcuts like alt + tab, alt + f4, win + d etc.
- Close to AOSP experience with only necessary desktop features.
- Taskbar with the ability to pin apps, show notifications, and system icons.
- Decapro key mapping tool to play games with keyboard and mouse (Press F10).
- Built in Google apps.
INSTALLATION STEPS:
- Download the PrimeOS SD-card image from our FORUM.
- Download BalenaEtcher from Etcher.io
- Insert sdcard into a card reader and flash the image using Etcher.
- Put the sdcard into Pinebook and boot up.
Note: You will need a very good SD Card with atleast 8GB of space to have the best experience.
KNOWN BUGS:
- Colors in camera is not good.
- Chrome Browser crashes.
! WE HAVE ONLY TESTED THIS IMAGE ON THE 1080P PINEBOOK !

PrimeOS for Pinebook is based on LineageOS 14.1 and it wouldn't have been possible without the work Ayufan and Alexandre(/e/) and we would like to thank them for their valuable work.
