How to test FlokoROM OTA

1. Fork https://github.com/FlokoROM/OTA and https://github.com/FlokoROM/packages_apps_Updater
2. Modify updater_server_url to your Updater repo, in packages_apps_Updater/res/values/strings.xml
   • https://github.com/FlokoROM/packages_apps_Updater/blob/10.0/res/values/strings.xml#L33
   • DO NOT modify filename from {device}.json (it will be automatically replaced in system), just change link to your repo.
3. add this in your local_manifests to enable Updater

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
  <project path="packages/apps/Updater" name="{YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME}/packages_apps_Updater" remote="github" revision="10.0" />
</manifest>

4. Build
5. Run OTA/release.sh to generate JSON
   • if you are testing, please comment out Line 25 to avoid unnecessary upload https://github.com/FlokoROM/OTA/blob/10.0/release.sh#L25
6. Modify OTA/devices/{codename}.json
   • change download url to downloadable link
7. git push in OTA repo
8. launch Updater from FlokoSettings, check it
   • note: download will be enabled in NEXT build
