PaxOS 8

PaxOS 8 is the latest version of PaxOS, a lightweight operating system for PaxoPhones.

what's new ?

It brings a very reliable event system allowing a very fluid use of the device. Its new graphic module adds new, more aesthetic widgets in a precise theme designed on figma!

The homepage features 8 simplistic apps but none too many:

• The phone app for making calls
• The message app, to send bubble messages to contacts
• The contacts app, which allows you to add and delete contacts that can be used in other applications
• The Calculator
• Tte Clock, which will allows you to program alarms and launch stopwatches and timers
• The Map to calculate its GPS coordinates
• The Snake
• The game 2048

Many improvements are coming soon.

Feel free to suggest contributions.

  2. Disable the quarantine for the file: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.28.2/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib
