might need to add edge-cases for specific devices, needs testing though |
ksud will silently create a ramdisk when boot-patching a regular boot image on a device that uses init_boot. Since this behaviour cannot be fixed from within the app, runPatch() now detects the condition and aborts early with a clear message. Detection is done by running getprop as an unprivileged process and inspecting ro.boot.* properties for any reference to init_boot. As a fallback, the running kernel version is obtained from android.system.Os.uname().release and any kernel >= 5.15 is treated as an init_boot device.
