open source?

If this OS is open source, where can I download it sources? and what is the license?

If there are no open sources available, please, remove misleading 'open source' phrase. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.242.13.243 (talk) 18:32, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

What are the devices where you can install it? --89.27.97.248 (talk) 02:18, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Move OpenHarmony to a new article?

According to the official guide, OpenHarmony is now an open-source version of HarmonyOS running on 128 KB to 128 MB devices. Surely has this nothing to do with the HarmonyOS running on Huawei MatePad Pro, for example. If they're essentially not the same thing, isn't it better to cover OpenHarmony in a different article? 83.202.109.242 (talk) 17:25, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes, separate articles for the separate parts. Though it could be simpler to just continue LiteOS -article for OpenHarmony. Anyway, separate articles for ASOP based mobile OS and LiteOS based lightweight OS and third article for the combining ecosystem. --Zache (talk) 09:17, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Apples and oranges

@Jojoyee Thanks for updating the article. One severe problem in article currently is that it does combine two combines claims which arent true at same time. In example in leading section it starts on how "HarmonyOS is distributred microcernel operating system", supported multiple kernels and then it continues in next scetion on how it supports "The system supports two forms of apps ... App gallery apps (Android) and atomic services". In example, if system runs Linux kernel and Android userland like Harmony OS smartphones and tablets does then those arent microkernel systems. The microkernel part is true only for LiteOS part which is used on televisions, fridges or smartwatches. However, those cant run the Android apps in example. So this should be clearly said in leading section too. Zache (talk) 05:01, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome @Zache. While I've added more details to this article (both in English and Chinese Wikipedia), I agree with you that some are not clearly stated yet for better understanding of the whole operating system. The article still has room to improve pending availability of reliable resources that we can cite. As HarmonyOS 2.0 has just been released early this month, the resources are still lacking.

That said, here is a good article (in Chinese) that explains HarmonyOS more reliably than others thus far in terms of the structure of the system with a graph.

Base on this graph, it is generally right to say that the system used for IoT and smartwatches are based on LiteOS while the smartphone version is based on AOSP. In addition to using the AOSP, HarmonyOS has added "distributed communication" technology for interconnecting devices into the system. This is one of the key features available when running HarmonyOS apps, but not Android apps, on smartphones.  — Jojoyee^t@lk 14:42, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

@Zache I've now rephrased the leading section of the article, more specifically mentioning the LiteOS and Android code being used on different devices. The description of HarmonyOS being "rebranded" Android and EMUI is too direct and thus excluded from this section as it may lead to misunderstanding of the system. This may however be more appropriately added to some other sections, e.g. Criticism, with more details provided. — Jojoyee^t@lk 16:09, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Clarification needed?

According to an article on CGTN's website, Hongmeng is apparently only for IoT's not what the media stated in the past, and the fact that Huawei has no plans to replace Android/Windows is this true. Could someone clarify this if possible and confirm what I've read is accurate? ImpWarfare (talk) 14:08, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Here's the link by the way https://news.cgtn.com/news/2019-07-12/Huawei-Hongmeng-OS-is-for-IoT-Android-remains-first-choice-IgGCVjTKyQ/index.html ImpWarfare (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

I’ve heard of it, it is kind of a scam, we should split it off to Android#Harmony OS(for mobile), Harmony OS(IoT) and Huawei#Harmony OS(Ecosystem).--112.119.179.118 (talk) 11:44, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

NPOV violation

This article reads entirely like an advert for Huawei, and the company's marketing people have clearly extensively rewritten it. I suspect reverting to an old stub and blacklisting any corporate accounts or IP addresses might be the only way to retain any semblance of truth. Liam Proven (talk) 11:13, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

The main culprits are already banned as sockpuppets. The article just waits for that somebody who would rewrite it. Also, noted that the main problem with Harmony OS is that it is hard to understand what it technically is ( Android OSP fork + some genuinely interesting new ideas from Huawei + things that aren't related to mobile phones and should be in separate articles). This affects not just this article but to everything else too. --Zache (talk) 16:48, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
