Could we detect if it is a Android 13 based ROM? It seems to be necessary for most devices with Android 13 based ROMs... |
|
Yes, we can! The same way you detect if user selected image is compatible with the phone. See f464396 |
Great! So we could enable the flashing of these additional partitions only for images based on Android 13 or higher (if required at all)? |

As far I remember, it's not needed before A13, but not sure. But seems to be implemented since Android 10 : |
This PR is based on #220 (by @anon1892) and aims to integrate the code in the Installer. - Include the commands `fastboot_flash_recovery` and `fastboot_reboot_recovery` (thanks to @anon1892) - Add support for Mi439 (Redmi 7A & co.) (thanks to @anon1892) - Display device specific notes at the image selection step (thanks to @anon1892) Other fixes & additions: - Display the scroll bar by default if scrolling is necessary - An info text box for additional images Todo: - [x] When the "custom recovery already flashed" button is selected, user should not have to select recovery file, as in this PR for now. - [x] User should be able not to select additional partitions, even on Android 13 (maybe add a button like "custom recovery already flashed". - [x] When recovery flashing is disabled, `adb reboot recovery` is not performed. Fix that.
Untested ! Asked in #212. @alkman1982 do you want to help us by testing it? Requirements : - #218 for OrangeFox support (especially `fastboot_flash_recovery` and `fastboot_reboot_recovery`) - #220 for additional partitions support - #221 for device specific notes (optional) I used this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-t-unofficial-lineageos-20-0-for-redmi-k20-pro-mi-9t-pro-raphael.4464937/
Allow user to flash dtbo, vbmeta and super_empty if needed :
Buttons shows off only if asked in device config file, and are optional, because it depends on the ROM (especially android version wanted)
Work started and tested in #188 but not in this PR alone (it's a copy and paste, so if I didn't forget something, it will work)
