Updater

Simple application to download and apply OTA packages, based on LineageOS app.

Build with Android Studio

Updater needs access to the system API, therefore it can't be built only using the public SDK. You first need to generate the libraries with all the needed classes. The application also needs elevated privileges, so you need to sign it with the right key to update the one in the system partition. To do this:

• Place this directory anywhere in the Android source tree
• Generate a keystore and keystore.properties using gen-keystore.sh
• Build the dependencies by running m framework from the root of the Android source tree.
• Create system_libs/ directory in Updates repo and copy classes.jar file from out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/ into it.

You need to do the above once, unless Android Studio can't find some symbol. In this case, rebuild the system libraries with m framework.
