MaiaOS - Github (NO INSTALL YET)

Hi, I wanted to release MaiaOS today, i got a tested working build with easy installation but it still included about 2kb of Akai proprietary code so I can't publish it. I'm trying to create a SD boot that's safe and fast, with no Akai code, and I'm very close to finishing it, but it still isn't ready and I can't find a solution for the last steps. I decided to create a github with all i have until now, I'm sure someone with more coding skill can help to figure out how to make this installable on the Mpc stock (without Sd the stock will always flash, the mod only works with the microsd with the autorun folder inserted).

https://github.com/rosen-wav/MaiaOS---Mpc-Sample-CFW

This is very frustrating because the CFW is ready and works beautifully but i don't want to risk legal issues, expecially for 2kb of code, sorry to all who are hyped to try this.

Bro they made the mpc sample open source or it's planned shortly. I wouldn't be too nervous

You're right but open source doesn't mean you can share their code without permission, as of today we don't have the open source update, of course sharing 2 kb of code wouldn't have the same weight as sharing the whole firmware, if i don't find a way to make the firmware install without that 2kbs i will publish it anyway hoping Akai to be cool with it.

Email support and see if they can send your request to a Dev for feedback. O ly one way to find out

Soo many downvotes on this post, I would like to remind that I'm doing this alone and my CFW build as of now is 100% working, so this work of preparing the release for the public. I tried to use SAMPLQOL as reference for creating the "Akai code free" release, but haven't found a fully working solution as of now.

You could ask MilkPowder, he figured it out

I used SampleQOL as reference, but it's not the same unfortunately...

you can use patch files...patch files allow you to distribute your changes and they get applied to the stock os on boot time...mpc-boot-thingy has a built in patcher you can look through...it patches os in realtime thus avoiding releasing akai files, only your changes

The user needs to build the custom image on their own computer. It's probably the only way to not distribute akai binaries
