How to customized UI on recovery mode

[#1]

Since JB4.3, we have added a customer library in myandroid/devices/fsl/common/recovery to give a chance for customer to customize their UI menu in recovery.img

Be sure you define the TARGET_RECOVERY_UI_LIB to be same as your defined in Android.mk in myandroid/devices/fsl/common/recovery, as we did in myandroid/devices/fsl/imx6/BoardConfigCommon.mk

TARGET_RECOVERY_UI_LIB := librecovery_ui_imx

Once you defined TARGET_RECOVERY_UI_LIB, myandroid/bootable/recovery will use the one to replace the default ui lib  as the source code myandroid/bootable/recovery/default_device.cpp.

By default, we define below menu as below:

const char* ITEMS[] = { "reboot system now",

  "apply update from ADB",

  "wipe data/factory reset",

  "wipe cache partition",

  NULL };

Below is an example to add a new menu as "apply update from SD Card":

diff --git a/common/recovery/recovery_ui.cpp b/common/recovery/recovery_ui.cpp

index ccf8ccd..9cbd91e 100644

The handle on the menu is defined in function prompt_and_wait(Device* device, int status) in myandroid/bootable/recovery/recovery.cpp. Below is the buildin menu function in recovery.

    enum BuiltinAction { NO_ACTION, REBOOT, APPLY_EXT, APPLY_CACHE,

  APPLY_ADB_SIDELOAD, WIPE_DATA, WIPE_CACHE };
