 kranzes | oh right nvm commented out you mean | 21:34:35 |
 danielrf | Making sure there's not some other difference we're missing | 21:34:38 |
| kranzes | Oh alright | 21:34:44 |
| kranzes | I've build something like this before 👍️ | 21:34:59 |
| kranzes | Booting | 21:41:04 |
| kranzes | no problemo | 21:41:06 |
| danielrf | nice. I'll build another image real quick which uncomments RELEASE_TYPE | 21:41:47 |
| danielrf | But yeah, definitely suspecting that APEX flattening is causing this somehow | 21:42:02 |
| danielrf | oh, forgot I had already started building that image, its at 95%, so I'll have it ready soon | 21:42:34 |

| kranzes | so its APEX? | 22:19:00 |
| danielrf | yep, looks that way | 22:19:15 |
| kranzes | What is APEX even? why do we need to do something with it? | 22:19:25 |
| danielrf | for the detailed information: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/apex | 22:19:57 |
| danielrf | but briefly, it's a way they're splitting up the android system into independently upgradable components called APEX packages | 22:20:27 |
| kranzes | I see | 22:20:41 |
| kranzes | So what would you recommend me to do if i want to use robotnix with forklineageos? | 22:20:55 |
| kranzes | is it safe to just comment out the APEX stuff robotnix handles? | 22:21:08 |
| danielrf | But what most android ROMs do (including LineageOS) is "flatten" the APEX packages so that they're just part of the system filesystem tree, and no longer independently upgradable | 22:22:02 |
| kranzes | but ForkLineageOS does not? | 22:22:19 |
| danielrf | Yes, just commenting out those lines would work. | 22:22:20 |
| danielrf | Yeah, it doesn't look like they do. | 22:22:37 |
| kranzes | 👍️ daniel, Seriously THANKS A TON for all this help the past 3 or so days <3 | 22:23:01 |
| kranzes | finally figured out this mystery | 22:23:13 |
| danielrf | When you're using APEX packages, the generateKeysScript will create a bunch more keys for each of the APEX packages | 22:23:15 |
| danielrf | So just make sure you've run the generateKeysScript at least once when you've commented out signing.apex.enable | 22:24:01 |
| danielrf | you'll end up with a bunch of keys in your keysdir that look like com.android.* | 22:24:26 |
| danielrf | But yeah, besides that you should be good to go | 22:24:41 |
