adevtool

Android device support and bringup tool, designed for maximum automation and speed.

Features

This tool automates the following tasks:

Downloading factory images and full OTA packages
Generating a list of proprietary files
Resolving overridden build rules and building modules from source (when possible)
Extracting, converting, and mounting factory images
Extracting proprietary files
Extracting bootloader and radio firmware
Finding and adding missing system properties
Overriding build fingerprint to help pass SafetyNet
Adding missing SELinux policies
Adding missing HALs to vendor interface manifests
Generating resource overlays for device configs
Fixing privileged app signing certificates referenced in SELinux policies

Google Pixel devices will benefit from the most automation, but several features can still be used to ease manual bringup on other devices:

Check SELinux policies to identify apps that should be presigned
Compare a built system against stock images to find missing files, properties, and vendor interface declarations
Resolving overridden build rules from build warnings
Listing system files relevant to bringup (in all partitions)
Extracting files from proprietary-files.txt up to 10x faster than LineageOS extract-utils

Pre-requisites:

Optional:

- For extracting OTAs or factory images: unzip
- For generating overlays: AAPT2 (included in AOSP and Android SDK)
