Method for customizing system firmware based on Android platform and Android device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for customizing system firmware based on an Android platform and an Android device. The method comprises the following steps: A) modifying a file under a customizing catalog template according to a requirement; B) setting a recovery upgrade configuration file; C) packaging the customizing catalog template into an img format file; and D) packaging and labeling the img format file generated in the step C) and the upgrade configuration file generated in the step B), thereby generating a final customizing packet. The implementation of the invention has the beneficial effects that only a to-be-customized part is packaged, the generated customized packet is smaller, and the transmission and storage are convenient; a source catalog is not used in a customizing process, so that the method is more safe and efficient; without reediting an Android platform code or a packaging source catalog, the customization for the system irrelevant to the hardware platform can be completed; and the method provided by the invention is universal and is suitable for firmware customization based on the Android platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, and more specifically, relates to a method for customizing system firmware based on an Android platform. Background technique [0002] After the Android platform code is compiled, lib, so, pictures, ringtones and other files generated after a series of compilations according to the directory requirements are packaged into corresponding img files in ext4 format. This method requires a specific compilation environment. Android is currently limited to 64-bit ubuntu14.04 (or newer versions), 8G memory, and 100G disk space. [0003] At present, mobile phone system developers directly provide packaged system firmware for users to use, that is, developers compile platform codes and provide them to users. If users want to do some customization that has nothing to do with the hardware platform, such as changing the boot To install applications, system settings, etc., it is necessary for the mobile phone system ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a system firmware based on the Android platform for the defects that the prior art system firmware customization method requires a huge source directory as the basis for packaging, the packaging process is time-consuming, and the firmware package is relatively large and inconvenient to transmit. customized method
