minmicroG doesn't "survive" dirty flash updates

Closed this issue · 7 comments

Hi FriendlyNeighborhoodShane,
Everytime I dirtyflashed my ROM (ArrowOS), minmicroG always dissapear from the ROM and I think that was related to addon.d (Maybe?) because IIRC, GApps like FlameGapps have addon.d survival that allows it to survive every update/dirty flash without losing settings and apps. I would like similar system be implemented on minmicroG. I don't want to flash it with Magisk because I don't like rooting my phone and possibly opening a lot of attack surfaces. Otherwise, minmicroG is near perfect. Keep up the hard work!

Thank you for reading and hopefully responsing to my comment.

Hello!

Yep, you're correct, the addon.d mechanism is responsible for that. Strangely, MinMicroG already uses it and it does work on my device.

Can you get a recovery log of dirty flashing your ROM? That might help in pointing out the problem.

Okay, but since my ROM have nightly build, I will get the recovery logs and screenshot tomorrow, since I need the next build of my ROM to get the logs. But I did get the previous logs :
recovery_20201123_053603.log[1].zip
recovery_20201123_053825.log[1].zip

Btw, the first log is dirtyflashing logs, while the second one is minmicroG flashing logs.
I use OrangeFox recovery, is it possibly because some setting in the recovery?

Thank you for responsing to my comment.
Cheers!

Thanks. I think I have an idea™ of what's going wrong here, some stuff needs to be fixed on the MinMicroG side. Will try work on it soon!
