@Mattttler what would the default system be? atm the selected option is always the first one.

Well I don't know, for me booting into the last booted system would make the most sense, or even just making it boot after the cursor hasn't moved after like 10 seconds would be awesome... I mean it's just unusable in its current state for me, so anything to make it be less dependent on the power button would be amazing. I'm trying to hold on to the bacon for some more months :)

Ok, as of now, there's a setting to make it auto select the last booted entry... Still working on the timeout.

ghost commented 7 years ago

Awesome! Thanks for your work :)

ghost commented 7 years ago

Is there any news on this? Because I'd love to use EFIdroid... but last time I tried I had to open the phone and connect the two ends of the power button with a wire just to select the OS I wanted xD

@Matttter I haven't gotten much time to work on it recently... I've been having a boatload of tests and such... But I'm still working on it. I'll let you know when it's done.

No problem, school comes first 😊

@Matttter it wouldn't help you anyway because the won't be an option to change the default selection from outside UEFI.

abraha2d commented 7 years ago

@M1cha but theres the auto-select last booted entry option... Basically, I'm trying to make it so that if the cursor hasn't moved, in 10 seconds, boot the currently selected entry...

When the cursor moves, it can either stop the timer, or it can reset the timer back to 10 seconds (which would be more helpful for @Matttter, but possibly kinda annoying for everyone else)

@abraha2d 10 seconds shouldn't be THAT annoying, but actually even if I agree with these kind of "fixes", supporting broken hardware is... well, not something we must do

ghost commented 7 years ago

I don't understand, how would it be annoying? And wouldn't a timer be expected behavior anyways? I mean you wouldn't want it to stay in the efidroid menu forever, right?

Well, if you're trying to do some debugging or something... (shrug)

abraha2d commented 7 years ago

I have decided that working on this feature right now is not the best use of my time, as the EFIDroid rewrite is just around the corner... Once that's done, I'll resume working on this...
