Recovery-Compiler 🤖

This GitHub Action Let's You Compile Recovery For Android Devices.

Features 📜

• Let's you Compile Without Any Hassle Of Setting Up Environment.
• Just Setup Env Variables & Everything Is Automated.

Build Platform

Build either on ubuntu-18.04 or ubuntu-20.04 also Known As ubuntu-latest runner environment.

Preparation

You MUST use rokibhasansagar/slimhub_actions@main Action before running this Compiler Action to Cleanup Spaces.

Output

As the Working Directory where the repo-sync will occur is set in /home/runner/builder/, accessible from ${BuildPath}.

So, Compiled Recovery will be found under /home/runner/builder/out/target/product/*/*{.img,.zip}. Same can be accessed using ${BuildPath}/out/target/product/${CODENAME}/*{.img,.zip}

Detailed Usage 👨‍💻

Note: If you want to minimize the input in the Workflow YAML File, Read On.

• Rename your Device Tree Repo in this format, android_device_VENDOR_CODENAME. If you do this, you won't need to add VENDOR, CODENAME and DT_LINK in the yaml env key. They will be fetched automatically from your Repo address.
• KERNEL_LINK is optional, use this only if you want to build kernel from source code.
• TARGET is set as recoveryimage by default. Unless you want to build bootimage or something, don't provide anything.
• FLAVOR is set as eng by default. Unless you want to build an userdebug build, don't provide anything.
• EXTRA_CMD key is added if you want to run some user-defined commands such as patchworks before compilation. Don't use it if you don't have anything to add.
• TZ (Timezone) is set as UTC by default. Unless you want to change the Timezone, ignore it.

Congratulations, If you followed these steps, you will need to provide only one env variable, MANIFEST. That's it.

If you still want to do things old-fashioned way, here is the full format -

# ...
jobs:
  recovery_builder:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    # You can use either of the ubuntu-18.04 or ubuntu-20.04 runner
    steps:
      # Checking out the repo is not mandatory, so don't
      #- uses: actions/checkout@v2
      # Cleanup The Actions Workspace Using Custom Composite Run Actions
      - name: "Cleanup Environment"
        uses: rokibhasansagar/slimhub_actions@main
      # That's it! Now use this action
      - name: "Recovery Compilation"
        uses: CarbonatedBlack/Recovery-Compiler@production
        env:
          MANIFEST: "Recovery Manifest URL with -b branch"     # or "orangefox10" for Orangefox Android v10
          DT_LINK: "Your Device Tree Link"
          VENDOR: "Your Device's Vendor name as in used inside DT."  # Example: xiaomi, samsung, asus, etc.
          CODENAME: "Your Device's Codename as in used inside DT."   # Example: nikel, phoenix, ginkgo, etc.
          KERNEL_LINK: "Kernel repo link with optional -b branch."   # Only for building kernel from source. Ignore if using prebuilt.
          TARGET: "Set as recoveryimage (or bootimage if no recovery partition avaiable)"
          FLAVOR: "eng or userdebug"
          EXTRA_CMD: "If you want to Execute any external Command Before Compilation Starts"
          TZ: "Asia/Kolkata"           # Set Time-Zone According To Your Region
