2 Guidelines

Check if your device has all requirements to be officially supported
Check if manufacturer already exists
Check if published link is official
Check if JSON is intact with help of online validator tools like https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com or https://jsonformatter.org
Check if no extra / missing spaces

3. How to

For following below description, replace codename with your device codename.

3.1 Initial support

After you contacted Gabriel on Telegram, and have the approval, follow the below steps.

Fork this repo to your own GitHub
Copy file createjson.sh from initial support folder to riceDroid source folder and make it executable

chmod +x createjson.sh

Open the file in a text editor (vim, nano, any GUI editor) and make changes from where it states #modify values below, save the file then run the generation script with below command

./createjson.sh

A file named codename.json gets created in main riceDroid source folder. Copy it to where this repo was cloned.
Create a file named changelog_codename.txt based on changelog structure from point 1.2, and add your changelog in it.
Submit a pull request to this repo (this way we validate that you understood the requirements and if all is good you'll be granted direct push access to this repo)

3.2 Update build

Clone this repo locally

git clone https://github.com/ricedroidandroid/android_vendor_riceDroidOTA -b twelve

Change to the directory where you cloned this repo (android_vendor_riceDroidOTA) and fetch updates from repo.

cd android_vendor_riceDroidOTA
git fetch --all
git pull

Copy codename.json file from out dir (where your riceDroid zip is compiled) over to this repo folder (android_vendor_riceDroidOTA).
Make changes to changelog_codename.txt and save it.
Now with the files updated, commit your update to this repo.

git add .
git commit #(this opens up your prefered text editor, so write a nice description like "<device codename>: update build")
git push #you may be prompted for your github username and password
