Problems with Xiaomi (redmi brand)

[ghost]

Some smartphones return redmi instead of xiaomi when invoking Build.BRAND.toLowerCase(). The packages still have the same names (com.miui.securitycenter and com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity). The solution may be just adding a second constant _BRAND_XIAOMI2 = redmi.

You can recreate this situation with a Xiaomi Note Pro 8.

PD: sorry for my bad english

Thanks @svallejos , I have access to a redmi note 7 which should also fall under the redmi brand so I'll test it out and have that update pushed up. Good catch!! Thanks again!

Thank you! Your code was very useful. I made an adaptation of your helper in my Android project to avoid problems with brand names: If a known main package exists, i just try to start the activity with every possible known component name related to that package. It worked for me. I leave the code in case it is useful for you. It is in Java, but you can program it in kotlin easily.

@svallejos thanks for the snippet, I've held off on implementing brute force as of now because I really don't know what kind of devices the library is being used in and the load that would be there at the time the library is called so its safer to use brands as of now.
