Support for /oem (remount failure) #441

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Root: yes with superSU 2.76

When trying to delete files in /oem/deletable-app/ sdmaid shows '1 error' and doesn't delete anything (even if I change permissions of that file to 777). Anywhere than there I get '1 error' but sdmaid remove the file (like in /system/vendor/)

/oem is a distinct partition SD Maid is not yet familiar with. Can you tell me more about it's purpose?

Can you give me a log of its content (e.g. explorer>save directory structure)? I'm interested in whether there are any symlinks.

We also need to know whether apps are directly sourced from that location or whether /oem is just used to copy back preinstalled apks after a factory reset.

Actual deletion fails because SD Maid doesn't know what to remount.

Error:rm: can't remove '/oem/deletable-app/com.kobobooks.android/com.kobobooks.android.apk': Read-only file system

btw perfect ticket :heart:

Basically the core /system partition is controlled by Google. OEMs are not allowed to customize it. All OEM customizations go into /oem. For example I have the bootanimation there.

Similar to #410. Support for this would mean adding a module to the storage manager (to add /oem) and module to forensics (to detect when an item is located in that location).

I'll mail you a test version to the mail from this post when I implemented this, ok?

So apks are directly used from there, like from /system? Meaning it doesn't copy apks from there to /data?

That's not it, apks are also in '/data' but it looks like I'm able to uninstall audiorecorder so I think apps in '/oem/deletable-app' are "system app" which I Can uninstall without root privileges.

For the email yeah, you can use that but I'm actually on holiday so I don't have wifi or a stable connection to test it, sorry :(

No worries, thanks for your contribution.
