[Feature] Use more recent LineageOS versions

Benjamin-Loison commented 4 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Notably to have accessibility menu to emulate power button, cf my Android Stack Exchange comment.

LineageOS 18.1 is no more supported since March 5, 2024, see Wikipedia: LineageOS#Version_history (1225763680). According to this source, LineageOS 18.1 is based on Android 11. So what are the downloadable updates made of, only patches for Waydroid?

As a comparison I currently have on my Fairphone 4 Lineage OS 21 using Android 14.

Related to waydroid/issues/1337.

Concerning the comment about explaining how to try on our own a more recent LineageOS version, see waydroid/issues/1337#issuecomment-2049517200, it is unclear what wiki the person is referring to, as the repository does not have a wiki which would otherwise be at waydroid/wiki.

https://waydro.id seems to mostly redirect to https://docs.waydro.id/, see https://waydro.id/#docs.

The Android runtime environment ships with a minimal customized Android system image based on the LineageOS. The used image is currently based on Android 11.

May help:

https://docs.waydro.id/faq/using-custom-waydroid-images:
as Waydroid does not seem to propose alternative newer LineageOS images, have to investigate the following link:
https://docs.waydro.id/development/compile-waydroid-lineage-os-based-images
- LineageOS/android/tree/lineage-19.0 seems to be the release following LineageOS/android/tree/lineage-18.1
- android_vendor_waydroid next release following android_vendor_waydroid/tree/lineage-18.1 is android_vendor_waydroid/tree/lineage-20, so it seems that should focus on LineageOS/android/tree/lineage-20.0
- Quite unclear what we are supposed to do with https://wiki.lineageos.org
- lineage_waydroid_x86_64-userdebug seems to be the Waydroid AOSP Lunch Option we are interested in, see https://docs.waydro.id/development/compile-waydroid-lineage-os-based-images#waydroid-aosp-lunch-options
- Related to Benjamin-Loison/android/issues/63
https://docs.waydro.id/development/manual-patch-resolution
https://docs.waydro.id/development/compile-waydroid-using-android-generic-project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/ only lists LineageOS images, right? So we are obliged to compile just to test? Let us keep focusing on LineageOS for the moment as it meets quite much my needs.
https://docs.waydro.id/usage/waydroid-command-line-options

Virtual machine, see https://docs.waydro.id/faq/get-waydroid-to-work-through-a-vm.

Otherwise there does not seem to be any interesting resource on https://docs.waydro.id.

Related to #38.

I guess that the downloaded LineageOS update is not somehow partially executed without Waydroid start but maybe not updating it except if I use the outdated LineageOS Waydroid makes sense.

Once solved, consider Umay (I delete old snapshots).
