GearLock is a dynamically written bash program focused in performance with the intension of making modifications in android-x86 easier.

It is also intended to replace the need for traditional custom-recovery software for android-x86 which are found in mobile phones.

GearLock was made in a different perspective unlike traditional custom-recovery software for mobile phones.

GearLock and everything within it are standalone programs and does not need to rely on the android system.

It can be used both GUI and TTY in a user-friendly manner, including advanced CLI usage.

You can control the behavior of GearLock early recovery screen with boot-flags. There are three kinds of flags you can use.

linux /kernel quiet NORECOVERY=1

If you want my honest word then you should know that about 99% of the available flashable zips out there will likely fail since they were never made for android-x86 and GearLock has nothing to do about that. In which most of them are flashable-roms which you obviously won't be installing on android-x86. Currently I've had success with OpenGapps and a few other zips. Other than that will surely fail unless the developer itself implements android-x86 support.

GearLock is being proudly integrated with the following reputed distros:

• BlissOS-x86
• PhoenixOS DarkMatter

If you're working on a remarkable distro and want to bring GearLock into it then you're welcome :)

Feel free to create a fork and help make this project even better.

Your commits should follow Conventional Commits specification, otherwise they will be rejected.

You can start hacking into Gearlock by simply clicking on the button below!

If you want to build GearLock then all you gotta do is run the following command:

• From linux distros

git clone https://github.com/axonasif/gearlock && cd gearlock && bash makeme

• From android-x86 distros (assuming you have GearLock installed)

curl -L https://git.io/JO43W -o gearlock.zip
unzip -qq gearlock.zip && cd gearlock-main && bash makeme

Then you should find the outputs at out/installer

If you want to test bare basic functionalities of GearLock within a linux-distro for development porposes then run:

bash makeme --setup-devenv "$HOME/gdev"

For working over sources for the core files, take a look at core/ and core/_external_bin/

Also check core/_lang_/ if you want to improve the language translations and concurrent strings.

You might have noticed that there are prebuilt binaries in the repository but not their source code.

I would need to setup a complete build system for them, what I've been doing was hand-compiling them.

I will need a lot of free time to accomplish this since I'm a student, but you can surely expect this in the future.

Adaptation for Android-Generic Project was done by: @electrikjesus

git clone https://github.com/AXIM0S/gearlock vendor/gearlock

Android-Generic (x86/PC): build-x86 android_x86_64-userdebug

BlissOS 11.x: build-x86.sh android_x86_64-userdebug

Android-x86: lunch android_x86_64-userdebug && make -j4 iso_img

Here I'm trying to list all of the remarkable work by others which has been used to enrich GearLock.

Without their open-minded years of hard work, GearLock wouldn't have been the same.
