 oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | It's also useful for finding regressions, for example if you change something on LineageOS 21 builds, something might break on LOS 20 or AOSP build | 17:12:19 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | Currently the situation is a bit messy, we have documentation which claims all kinds of features, which don't currently work, but it's not stated anywhere which things work and which don't. And things that aren't actively tested on CI will get bit rot | 17:13:03 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | Actually there is Status list and I don't completely agree on stuff on subject to removal -column :D The OTA updater does work and I do use it | 17:17:23 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | It's not that useful though, because after running OTA update I still need to manually reinstall Magisk and MindTheGapps through Recovery | 17:18:03 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | I don't know could I already bake Magisk and MindTheGApps into the build | 17:18:26 |
 atemu12 | Fair point | 17:19:20 |
| atemu12 | Please send a PR :) | 17:19:30 |
| atemu12 | I don't know about Google's spyware but Magisk: Yes | 17:20:08 |
| atemu12 | https://github.com/nix-community/robotnix/pull/266 | 17:20:23 |
| atemu12 | https://github.com/nix-community/robotnix/issues/14 | 17:20:33 |
| atemu12 | (I think you'd know more about embedding gapps into AOSP than I do given you've worked in the industry :) ) | 17:22:09 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | Yeah they did it in one project in the past but I don't have access to the project's Android tree anymore so I could check how it was done | 17:22:54 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | It looks like you just need to unzip the GApps bundle, and copy some files to right places during the build | 17:25:42 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | and remove few apps from the build if you don't want to have two Contacts, Calendar, etc. apps | 17:27:13 |
| atemu12 | I'm sure there's a pre-made vendor/gapps module somewhere | 17:27:36 |
 countoren | do we have way right now to change init.rc on the device? | 18:50:42 |
| countoren | from a module in robotnix? | 18:50:58 |
| atemu12 | I'm sure there is | 19:02:16 |
| atemu12 | But not from robotnix itself | 19:02:32 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | You could patch how the init.rc is being built from the source files | 20:25:30 |
| oak 🏳️🌈♥️ | IIRC init.rc or at least some of those configuration files are generated by combining mulitple source files from Android source tree | 20:27:32 |
| atemu12 | Generally with most of this stuff the answer is yes because all we really do is wrap the AOSP build process in a Nix drv | 20:28:11 |
| atemu12 | You first gotta figure out how to do it with AOSP and then just inject that declaratively via robotnix | 20:28:31 |
| countoren | yes that will be one way, but if you would like to add custom configurations/services we might want something like robotnix.rc that will be written from the expression directly | 20:30:13 |
| atemu12 | Sure, feel free | 20:30:34 |
| atemu12 | to build that | 20:30:39 |
| countoren | I might go to this direction | 20:30:59 |
| atemu12 | There's precedent for stuff like this in e.g. the webviews | 20:31:01 |
| countoren | not 100% sure | 20:31:05 |
| atemu12 | Or system APK handling | 20:31:10 |
